Chapter 292 A Plague Will Break Out
What?
Will a plague break out?
The people waiting outside the door suddenly heard a child's voice, but none of the children here spoke?
Could it be that these were the words spoken by the child that the noble man was holding just now?
After hearing what his daughter said, Lu Xiao frowned. Throwing all the dead people into the mass grave was simply harming people.
Zhuifeng also heard it and immediately ordered people to go to the back mountain to find the bodies and burn them immediately.
"There is no moldy food here. Take it out." Lu Xiao stared at the shopkeeper with cold eyes.
The shopkeeper felt a chill on his back. This man was dressed in coarse cloth and didn't look like a nobleman, so why did his aura seem so terrifying?
After thinking about it, he realized that the county magistrate was the local emperor here, and his backer was the county magistrate.
What is he afraid of?
"There's no good food. These days, the imperial court doesn't care about the lives of the people. Where can we get good food? Being able to eat moldy food is already a blessing from heaven!"
"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't block my business!"
This person has an unusual aura. It’s better not to offend him before you find out his identity.
The shopkeeper acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he also slandered the imperial court.
What he meant was that it was the court’s fault that these ordinary people couldn’t afford to eat, and it had nothing to do with him.
The amount of grain allocated by the imperial court is not enough for them to eat!
These untouchables might as well starve to death. What will they eat?
ah!
A scream.
Everyone saw the shopkeeper being kicked against the wall, and he couldn't be pulled down even with his hands.
"Humph! You deserve it! The imperial court allocates food to the people every year, but it's you corrupt officials who keep the food, causing the people to have no food to eat."
[Don't wrongly accuse my grandfather! ]
The shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of blood and trembled in pain. "You, do you know who I am? Kill them!"
He has never suffered such a big loss!
The county magistrate is his brother-in-law. The grain allocated by the imperial court is stored in his grain store. He has made a lot of money in the past two years.
If they found the food, how would he make money?
The burly man guarding the door rushed over to catch the man.
Bang bang bang!
Before the strong men could get close, Zhuifeng kicked them out of the grain store.
These strong men look intimidating, but they are no match for someone like Zhuifeng who fought his way out of a pile of corpses.
Lost before even a single round.
"Idiot! Don't you see who my master is?"
Zhuifeng made a sound of "pooh" and returned to Lu Xiao's back, ready to protect him at any time.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. "Who are you? My brother-in-law will come and kill you all!"
His sister was the county magistrate's favorite concubine. If she knew he was beaten, she would definitely come to avenge him.
Lu Xiao snorted coldly, standing at the doorway and looking at the people. "I'm sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. Who among you is willing to come with me to get some food? Bring out the food to set up a porridge shed. The imperial court's disaster relief food will arrive soon."
The people at the door looked pale and thin, with dull eyes, which showed that they had lost confidence in life.
In fact, the common people don’t ask for much. As long as they can have enough food to eat and have officials to uphold justice for them when they encounter problems, that’s enough.
It’s a pity that the county magistrate here is a parasite who doesn’t care about the lives of the people at all.
"Did the imperial court really send someone?"
"Did you really bring food for disaster relief?"
"But the county magistrate said that the court no longer cares about us."
They have survived like this over the past few years, and they were a little bit unconvinced when people from the imperial court suddenly appeared.
They also wanted to go in and get food. What if these people were not sent by the court and they just robbed the food and left, then they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.
The county magistrate here is not a human being and he will really harm the people.
"My master is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and he has come here specifically to provide disaster relief. You must trust my master, and you must also trust the court. They have not given up on you."
Zhuifeng took out a token, which was a special imperial order issued by the imperial envoy.
The common people didn't know what the token was, but the shopkeeper did. The moment he saw the token, he was so scared that he paralyzed on the ground.
It’s over!
He is completely finished this time!
Not only is he finished, his brother-in-law is probably finished too!
The shopkeeper was sneaking around and thinking of running away.
[Catch that man! Don't let him get away! He's the county magistrate's brother-in-law, and he has a lot of evidence of the magistrate's crimes.]
The shopkeeper was about to run away, and Lu Yaoyao became anxious.
Zhui Feng rushed over, grabbed the collar of his clothes and pulled him back, "Still want to run? Kneel down!"
He kicked the shopkeeper on the leg. The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and dared not move, shaking with fear.
"Zhuifeng, search this place thoroughly."
Since his daughter said that this person has evidence that the county magistrate committed a crime, it must be correct.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhuifeng went to the backyard of the grain store.
Lu Xiao looked at the crowd. The leader was a burly man with a simple and honest face. "What's your name?"
Da Liu stood up and looked at Lu Xiao with some fear, "I am Da Liu."
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "There is food here. Take people in to move the food, and then start setting up porridge stalls so that the people here can have food."
He came here to provide disaster relief. He not only wanted to ensure that the people had enough food to eat, but also to help them find something to do, otherwise these people would rebel.
Da Liu was a little bit unconvinced, "Sir, can we really trust you? You won't kill us all if you take the food, right?"
"In the past, there were officials sent by the imperial court, saying they were going to provide disaster relief, but in the end, they were all bribed by the county magistrate. We just wanted to have a meal, but we were killed by those people."
During these three years of drought, there were officials sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, but in the end they were all bribed and were accused of wanting to rebel.
In the end, there was no food to eat and everyone was killed.
"I am the current King of Qin. Don't worry, I will stay here and fight the disaster with you." Lu Xiao promised.
Everyone was shocked. Is this person really the current prince, His Royal Highness Prince Qin?
They all knew the name of the King of Qin. It was the King of Qin who repelled the Western Rong Kingdom and allowed the people in this area to live and work in peace.
I didn’t expect that the court valued them so much that they actually sent a prince to provide disaster relief.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, now that you're here, we're saved!"
"Yeah yeah!······"
The King of Qin had a very high reputation among the people. Since the person before them was the King of Qin, they felt that they were saved.
God is truly merciful!
[Daddy's reputation among the people is so good?]
[If Daddy hadn't been blind before, he would still be a good daddy in my heart.]
Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but complain in her heart again.
If only her Five Elements Technique could open a layer of the seal, she would be able to help pray for rain. Unfortunately, her Five Elements Technique has not yet unlocked a single layer.
Let these people suffer.
Fortunately, Daddy has a good reputation among the people, otherwise their disaster relief efforts would not be successful.
Lu Xiao:...
Is this little girl praising me or insulting me?
He was blind before, but he is fine now, okay?
"Get up! Let's go in and move the food." Lu Xiao moved aside and let them go into the grain store.
Big Liu looked at Lu Yaoyao in surprise. He was sure that the voice he just heard should be the voice of this little girl.
This little girl is being held by the King of Qin. She should be the King of Qin's child. So she should be the little princess, right?
"Your Highness, let's go move the food now." Da Liu was excited and looked at Lu Yaoyao one more time before leaving.
He could actually hear the little princess's thoughts?
This is amazing!
What he didn't know was that Lu Yaoyao was not a princess, but Princess Changle, who was personally conferred by the emperor.
