Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 118
Jun Moyu stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, looking into the distance, as if she was thinking about something.

"Your Highness, the matter has been settled, the disaster relief food has been distributed in an orderly manner, and the official bank has also been transported into the city." Han Feng walked into the room and said respectfully.

"En." Jun Moyu nodded to show that he understood, and waved to Han Feng without looking back.

Han Feng turned and left, Jun Moyu looked at the desolate street and gradually became sad.

He knew that Concubine Song Gui would definitely do something, and the target would definitely be on the official bank.

Once the official bank is lost, the father will definitely punish him, so he pushed the boat and deliberately arranged for someone to rob the official bank earlier, the purpose is to confuse the people of Song Guifei. In fact, the official bank has been secretly sent to Jinzhou.

Now he just needs to wait and see what happens, and wait for the time to give Song Guifei a fatal blow.

In the palace, Concubine Song slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her forehead and asked, "What news have you received recently?"

Pei'er handed her the tea and replied, "There's news from Jinzhou that everything is under control."

"Well, tell him to be careful, the fifth prince is not so easy to deal with, don't underestimate the enemy."

Concubine Song took a sip from the teacup, then put it down and asked, "How is the matter with the official bank?"

"Not found yet."

Hearing this, Concubine Song's complexion immediately darkened, and she said harshly: "Damn it, is this palace raising them for nothing? They can't even handle such a trivial matter."

"Your Majesty, calm down." Pei'er knelt down and said immediately when she saw the furious person.

"Get up." Concubine Song felt a headache.

Seeing Concubine Song's displeasure, Pei'er walked behind her, put her fingers on her temples and gently rubbed them, not daring to say more for fear of offending Concubine Song.

"Let them continue to investigate, and no matter what, I must find the official bank."

She originally guessed that the official bank should have fallen into the hands of bandits, but she never thought that she would search the whole mountain and still not find the whereabouts of the official bank.

"I'll do it now, servant girl." Pei'er stopped her movements and left in response.

Three days later, the number of victims in Jinzhou City did not decrease at all, but more and more, and there was not much food left in their hands. If this continues, it will not be able to last for a few days.

Lu Nanzhi was walking on the street with the medicinal materials he bought, and stopped when he saw a woman blocked in the distance.

"Hand over the food, or don't blame us for being rude to you!" It was a fat man who spoke, followed by a tall and thin man.

It seems that this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and they have specially selected such weak women to beg for food.

The woman was very thin and her clothes were in tatters. She bit her lips tightly, and desperately protected the cloth bag in her arms with both hands, as well as the child in front of her. Her body couldn't stop shaking, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She pleaded: "This is the only food we have, please let me go? These are my life-saving food, I can't live without this food."

After hearing her words, the obese man snorted and said, "Why do women like you want food? It's a waste to eat it, why don't you give it to us!"

After all, he stretched out his claws to grab the food in her arms.

The woman screamed in fright, hugged the cloth bag, and stepped back to protect the child.

"Go away, go away..."

"Stinky bitch, find a beating!"

The obese man raised his hand and slapped the woman. The woman was instantly slapped to the ground, and a trace of blood appeared from the corner of her mouth.

"Mother..."

A little boy around five or six years old stood in front of the woman and shouted in a childish voice: "You bullies, you bunch of scoundrels..."

The fat man laughed loudly: "I am happy, who dares to meddle in my affairs, I will kill you..."

The tall and thin man raised his hand, pointed at his forehead tremblingly, and stammered, "Brother, brother, you, your head is bleeding."

The obese man wiped his forehead with his hand. Seeing the blood on his hand, he turned around angrily, and saw a woman standing behind her, holding a stick, which was still stained with his blood.

"You're so fat and still thinking about other people's food, why don't you cut off the meat from your body and stew it, so that you don't waste food." Lu Nanzhi said mockingly.

They have already eaten as fat as a pig, and they have the face to grab other people's food. I have never seen such a shameless person.

"What are you, you dare to take care of my business!"

The obese man's eyes were full of anger, and his hands beside him were clenched into fists, wanting to rush forward to teach the woman a lesson.

Lu Nanzhi dodged sideways, and his fists were tightly clenched with a pair of big hands.

The obese man felt a strong pain and wailed, "Ah... let it go, let it go!"

"How do I put my hands?" Shen Lanze's brows and eyes overflowed with a trace of coldness.

"I, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, sir, I was wrong!" The obese man immediately gave in, and the hero didn't suffer the immediate loss. Now he couldn't bear the pain, his fingers seemed to be pinched and broken.

Shen Lanze shook off his hand, and said in a gloomy tone, "Get lost!"

The two fled in fright, and the woman ran over crying and kowtowed to thank her.

"Thank you two benefactors for helping me out, thank you!"

The little boy on the side also had a good look, and imitated his mother to kneel down, clapped his hands on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and said in a childish tone: "Thank you for saving my mother."

"Get up." Lu Nanzhi knelt down and helped them up.

The little boy looked at his big brother with envy. He hoped that he could be as powerful as this big brother in the future, so that he could protect his mother and not be bullied by those people again.

For their safety, Lu Nanzhi and Shen Lanze sent the mother and son home.

It turned out that the woman was from Liucun Town, which is not very far from the city, and there are still many residents in the village.

The woman invited the two of them into the house, took out the only sweet potatoes in the house and baked them for them.

There were bursts of coughing in the house, the woman hurried in, and the voice came intermittently.

It turned out that the woman's husband was seriously injured due to hunting, and because of the lack of food, his condition became more and more serious. If there was no food, he might not be able to survive.

During the chat, the woman inadvertently said that the reason why the victims would go out to rob food was because the food distributed by the prefect was mixed with stones, so that they didn't get much food at all. Also to survive.

"So that's the case." Shen Lanze frowned, no wonder the refugees would say such things that day.

Lu Nanzhi and Shen Lanze bid farewell and left. It was already late when they returned, and the silver light shone on them.

"These corrupt officials really deserve to be killed. It has been snowing for more than two months, and this year's drought and crop failure should have been reported. Why did it have to be delayed until now?" Lu Nanzhi said through gritted teeth.

These corrupt officials don't care about the life and death of the people at all, they only care about their own enjoyment, and when things get out of hand, they hand them over to the court. They really have a clever mind.

Shen Lanze sighed: "No matter when, this kind of corrupt officials will never be killed. The only thing we can do is to catch them and punish them severely."

"Cough cough cough."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Shen Lanze covered his mouth with his hand and knocked violently. Seeing the blood stained in his hand, he hurriedly hid it behind him, not wanting her to see it.
