Chapter 136 Not dead yet
Prince Yi turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Huh?"
"My lord, our county magistrate has a bad temper. The yamen runners he keeps are also hard to talk to. You only brought these few people..."
Li Shunfeng's words were very obvious. He was worried that Prince Yi would suffer in the past.
Prince Yi curled his lips indifferently:
"Just now, this...official said clearly that this official was ordered to come to the disaster relief. Can they still detain this official?"
Li Shunfeng sighed: "My lord, it's not that I don't believe you, but this county magistrate is used to being arrogant and may not take you seriously. It is said that he has people in the capital, and the strong dragon cannot suppress the local lord. My lord, you are probably not his opponent with these few people."
Prince Yi sneered: "The county magistrate is so arrogant . "
Yi Wang said with disdain. Li Shunfeng knew that he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "Sir, that county magistrate is really related. You'd better be careful!"
He looked at the child in Yi Wang's arms and reminded him, "Don't forget that you are not alone. What if Zhu County Magistrate lays hands on your child..."
Hearing that the county magistrate would lay hands on the baby, Yi Wang's face turned cold: "He dares!"
"Just take care of the food, I'll be back soon!"
Li Shunfeng still advised worriedly: "Sir, you have to be careful." Prince
Yi paused, "Is there any food in the county now?"
Li Shunfeng looked grim, "Sir, there is only one food store in the county now, and it is run by the county magistrate. The people were very hungry and went there to ask for food, but there were yamen runners inside, who were very fierce and killed people."
Prince Yi's pupils shrank. A dignified county magistrate killed people. This Mr. Zhu was really disgusting.
Yuan Baobao had been listening and watching quietly.
The book did not talk about the drought this time. He could not make a judgment without seeing the county magistrate.
"Alas, that county magistrate is going to be in trouble!" The little girl sighed.
Prince Yi looked down at her, raised his hand and touched her furry little head.
The little girl turned her head and glared at him unhappily: "Daddy, stop touching it, my hair is messed up."
Because the little girl's hair is not long yet, she usually ties two small buns.
When she was in Prince Yi's mansion, Liu Jiaojiao would comb her hair.
When she was away from home, it was Prince Yi who took over. Prince Yi, who was not used to combing his daughter's hair, was amazing every time he combed it. Originally, it was crooked when tied, but now it's fine. When Prince Yi touched it, the two small buns were messed up.
Seeing his daughter's serious expression, Prince Yi couldn't help but curl his lips: "Daddy will comb your hair again?"
The little girl snorted proudly: "Let's do business first!"
The county magistrate here is too unreliable. When a disaster occurs, he doesn't think about how to tide over the difficulties with the people. It is estimated that his black gauze hat will soon fall off.
The carriage started moving again, and everyone's eyes were full of gratitude. I don't know who was the first to kneel down with a thud, kowtowed to the carriage to express his gratitude.
In the carriage, Prince Yi's face was slightly cold. He was now more curious about the county magistrate.
If he really didn't want to be a human being, he wouldn't mind teaching the county magistrate to reincarnate again!
...
Fengyin County is the county closest to the capital in Mincheng.
In the past, the streets here were extremely lively, and the streets were full of bustling people.
But now, there are still many people on the street, but everyone is squatting or sitting against the wall, staring at the passers-by with their eyes.
Among them, the most people gather around the door of the only open grocery store.
Those people are all wearing ragged clothes, with disheveled hair and unkempt faces.
They are all skinny and pale from hunger, looking so miserable.
The grocery store is still open, and it is one of the stores on the street that can be opened.
The waiter and the shopkeeper are very cautious, and there are seven or eight burly men standing at the door.
But even so, the waiter and his friends dare not take it lightly.
"Shopkeeper, I'm scared of the looks of those people outside."
A waiter shrank his neck in fear:
"The looks of those people are like those of wild wolves. If you don't know, you might think they want to eat people."
Another waiter laughed nonchalantly:
"What are you afraid of? Even if they have ten guts, they wouldn't dare to come over and rob."
"Our master is really amazing. Look, everyone has no food to eat now, only the master has some."
"Haha, it's our blessing to work with the master."
They spoke loudly, and the people outside heard it and gnashed their teeth in anger.
But they didn't dare to step forward, let alone act rashly.
There were many people who were very hungry. Someone once went in to rob things, but...
was beaten to death by those yamen runners.
A dozen people were no match for those big men, and they were helpless in front of so many people.
Just like now, they were squatting outside the grain store, they could only smell the fragrance of grain, but they couldn't eat a single bite.
They were scolded here.
But they had no choice, they just hoped that the people who saw buying grain would be a little more talkative, or they would follow them and grab some...
Nowadays, there are not many people buying grain, mainly because grain is too expensive.
"Wang Da..."
Everyone was looking at the grain store with greedy eyes, and suddenly someone shouted.
Everyone turned around and saw a man in his twenties lying on the ground, curled up.
His limbs were shaking. Someone came over to call him to get up, but he had his eyes tightly shut and could not see.
"Ah, another one."
An old man sighed:
"The disaster has been going on for such a long time. I don't know what's going on here. Does the court know about it?"
"If this continues, won't we all die?"
A man in his thirties said angrily.
"Isn't it?"
"I'm almost starving too, and I'm still feeling dizzy now?"
"You're all hungry, why don't you go and rob?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded behind them.
Dozens of men turned their heads to look over, only to see a little baby of two or three years old.
The child was wearing a linen-colored coarse cloth dress, but she looked very delicate.
She was very pretty, and her face was white and tender.
Several people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
This child was white and chubby, and looked delicious.
However... seeing the man holding the girl, he was tall and had a cold expression. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
No one dared to move, but someone walked over to the one lying on the ground:
"He's not in good condition, I'll help him home first." The man was in his forties, with green eyes.
"Hey, Liu Wu, what are you doing?" A sixty-year-old man with a white beard looked at the man fiercely:
"He is not dead yet, you don't want to..."
Everyone looked at the man named Liu Wu.
