Many people were standing outside the prefectural government office.
Many people were carried here by their families.
"Sir, you must help us!"
"That food is our rations for the second half of the year. If we run out of it, we really won't be able to survive!"
"Yes, my family still depends on that little bit of food to survive!"
The people whose farmland was hit by the meteorite knelt on the ground and cried, begging the prefect for help.
The prefect didn't come out. Instead, a sword-wielding guard came out. The sword-wielding guard glanced at them and said in a cold tone, "The prefect said that this is a natural disaster. There is nothing we can do!"
"If you want compensation, ask God for it!"
The people were stunned.
Mr. Prefect, do you mean to say that you don’t care?
Just ignore them completely?
"Sir, you can't do this!!"
"Yes, Mr. Prefect, if you don't take care of us, we will really die!!"
"I have hungry children at home..."
"I have old people above me and young children below me, Your Excellency the Prefect—"
The people cried out in grief, and the sword-wielding guards grew impatient. "What are you arguing about?"
“Who can we blame for such a natural disaster?”
"Perhaps you have done something immoral, and that's why God is punishing you like this."
"When you encounter something like this, you should look within yourself and ask yourself if you have done anything immoral."
"Or maybe your elders did something immoral!"
"Can this matter be blamed on the prefect?"
"Stop making noise here!"
The people whimpered, "We don't mean to blame the prefect."
"The prefect is our father and mother. We just hope that he can help us!"
"We just hope that the prefect can show us a clear way!"
"We have never done anything harmful!"
"My son joined the army and never returned!"
"Our ancestors for eighteen generations have never harmed anyone!"
How else could they find their own reasons? Where could they find them?
"That's none of our business!"
The sword-wielding guard said coldly, "Even the prefect can't control you!"
"Now that the Tu Kingdom has lost its emperor, if you encounter such a problem, you should find a way to solve it yourself."
"Don't always expect others to help you!"
The people were puzzled, "The Tu Kingdom was defeated, but the Yuan Kingdom took over!"
"Isn't our current emperor Emperor Dewu?"
"Didn't Emperor Dewu say that? We are treated the same as the people of Yuan!"
"Sir, please, help us report this matter!"
“Please—”
The people knelt down and kowtowed.
The sword-wielding guard raised his chin slightly, "Do you think the Yuan Kingdom will take care of you?"
"You are the people of the Tu Kingdom. How could the Emperor of the Yuan Kingdom care about your life or death?"
"Maybe they just wish you all dead!"
Some people stood up and shouted, "Impossible!"
"Emperor Dewu is not such a person!"
"Yes, if he wanted us dead, why didn't he just kill us?"
"That's right, don't slander Emperor Dewu!"
The sword-wielding guard chuckled twice, "A bunch of idiots."
"Emperor Dewu will just kill you and bear the infamy."
"If you die, what does it have to do with him?"
"Of course, he doesn't need to bear any infamy!"
"How great! He has a good reputation, and you get rid of him too. It's a win-win situation."
As soon as the sword-wielding guard finished speaking, the people were stunned and their thoughts began to waver.
yes.
It's a win-win situation.
"Why else do you think the prefect doesn't care about you?"
The sword-wielding guard asked, "If there were no orders from above, how could the prefect do such a ruthless thing?"
Yuchi Xi stood aside, his eyes curved with a smile.
So funny!
She had seen her father's account book, and her father had allocated a lot of money to the country.
Emperor Dewu gave the Tu Kingdom to Yuchi Xi, so naturally, he loved the Tu Kingdom as well. In the eyes of Emperor Dewu, the Tu Kingdom belonged to Xi'er, so he naturally had to take good care of it.
Therefore, among the defeated countries, Turkey received the most funding.
The people did not know about these things. They only knew that the prefect no longer cared about them and that he listened to Emperor Dewu.
They were dejected and had no place to vent their resentment.
Resent Emperor Dewu?
What's the use?
Emperor Dewu won't even come here!
Their resentment is in vain, but if they don't resent Emperor Dewu, who else can they resent?
Hate yourself.
I blame myself for being just a farmer.
Human life is worthless.
Yuchi Xi raised his voice, "But I heard that Emperor Dewu allocated a lot of money to the Tu Kingdom!"
"Just this city of yours alone must have at least 100,000 taels of silver!"
"These 100,000 taels of silver, so they weren't even used to build the city?"
"But your prefect is corrupt?"
The guard with a sword looked towards Yuchi Xi upon hearing the sound and drew his sword from its sheath, "How dare you!"
"Where did this little kid come from, to dare to slander the prefect?"
"Why don't you kneel down and kowtow and admit your mistake?"
Yuchi Xi burst out laughing, took out the jade seal from his arms, and played with it in his palm, "Let me kneel down?"
"I'm afraid you don't have that ability."
"Tell your prefect to get out."
