175 Chapter 2 The Love of the People ([-])
The person in the lead swallowed, as if he was worried that King Qing was not a good person, so he took a small step back timidly.The King Qing's aura is too strong, and these refugees have seen the world, maybe they haven't woken up from the oppression of local officials.

"This is... Prince Qing, right?" He took the lead and knelt down, "Greetings to Prince Qing and Princess Qing!"

A group of refugees following behind also knelt down and kowtowed loudly, as if if one kowtow was missing, they would never be able to seize such a good opportunity and lose food.

"Okay, folks!"

King Qing raised his hand and stopped the endless prostration.If you want to worship like this, when can you start to distribute food?

"You just said that it is difficult for us high-ranking people to understand the suffering of ordinary people like you. Where did you start? If we could not understand the suffering of the common people, we would not come to supervise the distribution of food in person. And ..."

Mo Lianchen paused, and waited for all the refugees to calm down before saying word by word, "It's the court's fault that the local officials are not strict. We are here this time to save the villagers from suffering and give everyone an explanation." .Then the construction of the Qinjiang dam will start again soon, and the villagers will not be left to suffer from floods in the future.”

"Alas..." The leading villager let out a long sigh, his words and expressions were full of helplessness, "My lord, my concubine, you are good people, but you... will you also arrest us to do hard labor? Paying wages? The dam has been under construction for several years, and it has been repaired and stopped, and the imperial court has not sent anyone to actually build it. We were arrested by the government and put in prison. We really had no choice... That's why we thought of going against the imperial court. We don't ask much, just three meals and one night."

The leader whimpered, and then wept uncontrollably, "Everyone in our family died, not from starvation, but from being captured and enslaved to death..."

"Yes, our family members are also dead..."

"Yes, hit the government and overthrow the tyrant..."

"Return my home, return my happiness..."

The refugees suddenly became excited one by one, shouting and roaring to overthrow the imperial court and drive the tyrants and corrupt officials out of the imperial court.

The imperial guards and the food transport officers who came with them began to prevent the refugees from coming forward, trying to use force to suppress the excited refugees as much as possible.One officer and soldier didn't know if it was out of habit, so he whipped a whip at a refugee who was pulling him.

Yi Jinning didn't expect the refugees to react so violently. If they had been oppressed for a long time, their depression would get deeper, their family members were gone, and they couldn't get enough food and clothing, so they might as well fight to the death.

She sighed softly, took a look at Mo Lianchen, look, this is the political situation in Xiyue!

Mo Lianchen held her hand tightly, and put her somewhat cold fingers in his skirt to keep warm.

He calmed down and roared after a while.

"enough!"

The refugees immediately held their breath when he yelled, and no one dared to move any more. They all looked towards the carriage with their eyes wide open.The people behind couldn't see King Qing and Princess Qing, and jumped up a little bit, wanting to see what the King and his wife would say next, and how they would appease them.

Mo Lianchen's sharp eyes turned to those officers and soldiers who took the initiative to wave their whips at each other and the guards who drew out their swords and prepared to attack the refugees, "What are you doing? Are they wrong?"

"But my lord...they are mobs, you see...if you don't stop them, they will be robbed when the food arrives..."

The officer and soldier was swept away by Mo Lianchen's ruthless eyes, and he was so frightened that he stopped immediately before he finished speaking, silently retreating to the side.

"My lord..."

The imperial guards were also stared at by Mo Lianchen's eyes full of coldness, and trembled in fright, and the hand holding the sword unconsciously dropped down.

"Okay, the refugees are all hungry. We are here to help everyone. Even if the food is robbed, they deserve it!"

With a few words, Mo Lianchen rendered the leader of the imperial guards speechless.That's right, the food was meant for refugees, even if it was robbed, it should belong to them, so why should he worry?Withdrawing their swords, the imperial guards and officers and soldiers took the initiative to step aside, no longer preventing the people from reacting violently.However, at this time, the common people seemed to realize that the Prince Qing and Princess Qing were here to solve their difficulties, and knelt down one after another, kowtowing their heads and shouting, "Good people, help me!"
"Okay, everyone, please listen to my king first!"

Mo Lianchen suddenly changed his name, his tone was a little displeased, but still calm.

"We all know your suffering. If you have any grievances to complain about, wait until the food is distributed, okay?"

Mo Lianchen found that he was gradually infected by Yi Jinning, and spoke softly to these refugees.He was a little startled, seeing Yi Jinning smiled and looked at him silently, a certain place in his heart suddenly filled up, all he wanted in this life was Ningning's shallow smile.

"Thank you fairy queen, thank you prince!"

The refugees kowtowed and thanked the kind couple.Because the officials sent by the imperial court in the past also said that they wanted to help the refugees, but they didn't listen to their complaints patiently like this couple, and they didn't see the real distribution of food. Give them porridge.The porridge was so clear that they could almost see their own shadow. There were more sand and stones than rice grains. They could no longer trust the court.

After prostrating enough, the refugees took the initiative to gradually disperse, and they all walked towards the gate of the city.Princess Qing and King Qing just said that as long as they line up at the gate of Daocheng, they can get food.Since there is something to eat, why not fill your stomach first?

I hope that this time, the court can send a good official to help them.

The carriage slowly drove towards the local government mansion.

This time, neither Mo Lianchen nor Yi Jinning wanted to let go of this good opportunity to punish corrupt officials, let alone...they were officials who were closely related to the county king Mo Yixuan.

However, this time they had to pass through the gate of the city first, and stay there for a while to arrange food distribution before they could properly attack those ignorant things.

When they arrived at the food distribution site, the people lined up automatically without waiting for the officers and soldiers to order. They lined up in two rows, all of them looking forward nervously and expectantly, and turned their necks to the side of the city gate.

Mo Lianchen helped Yi Jinning get out of the carriage, the ground under his feet was still wet.The floor here was originally a concrete road, but after being hit by floods several times, it has turned into a muddy road.The government didn't see that the money was allocated from above, so it just hung out like this, until the official road at the gate of the city became unrecognizable, the ground was full of potholes, and it was extremely difficult for carriages to walk.

Mo Lianchen took Yi Jinning out of the car after hearing what the officers and soldiers leading the way had said about it, and they all came over directly.
