The poisonous concubine allures the city, the ghost king loves the sky

Chapter 135

The sky before dawn was gray, but not far ahead, two figures appeared.

A man was dressed in a green robe, with a few strands of blue silk hanging down from his forehead. The black horse on his crotch was snorting non-stop. The horse's head was raised high by the reins, obviously it had been running for a long time.

The man in green wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression was a little tired, but the clothes on his body were not stained with any dust.

"Is your news reliable?"

The man in the blue shirt untied the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a sip, a smile appeared on his face, showing all his white teeth.

"His mark is unique. How could I admit my mistake? Don't worry, good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years. That guy won't die."

"Bah, what is it, it's alive and well, and you didn't come to see us, worrying for so many days in vain." Although Du Chun said so, he still stretched his neck and looked back.

The heart that had been mentioned for so many days was finally relieved, and Du Chun suddenly felt relaxed.

Bai Xiao glanced at him lazily, shook his head and smiled, and took another big gulp of the wine from the wine gourd.

"You have been running away for so many days, and your father doesn't care about you?"

Du Chun, who had just rolled over from his horse, staggered and nearly sprained his foot when he heard what he said. He stretched out his hand to pick up a stone from the ground, and hit Bai Xiao's body.

"You crow mouth, can you say something to make me happy?"

The stone flew over with a whoosh sound, Bai Xiao lazily stretched out two fingers, just caught it, and exerted a little force on the fingers.

Suddenly turned into powder.

"If I were you, I would go home honestly, how happy would I be with my family by my side?"

Bai Xiao glanced at Du Chun, and said again: "I'm really curious, what makes you so afraid? You haven't been home for three years?"

Du Chun's mouth was pursed into a straight line, and countless knives were shot out from his eyes. Bai Xiao didn't seem to notice it, and continued to poke his weakness: "It can't be your father, who wants you to start a family and start a business?"

When he said this, he really saw Du Chun's body tremble.

Bai Xiao was in a good mood, looked up to the sky and laughed: "I never expected that you would be so afraid, hahaha..."

Du Chun jumped and pulled him off the horse: "Let you speak, let you speak."

"Okay, stop making trouble, and clear the obstacles in front of them before they enter the city."

"Why, we did all the dirty and tiring work, and he didn't do anything leisurely. In the end, the credit is all his, and the young master won't do it."

Bai Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, got on his horse, and galloped out: "Why? Just because you can't beat him, haha..."

"Damn, don't leave if you have the ability."

From Sanyuan County to Cangtong County, it is only a few tens of miles, and it takes only two days to go back and forth. However, because of the huge number of victims, these tens of miles are abruptly shortened to one day.

This also means that the more than 1 disaster victims will all flood into Cangtong County, and Cangtong, which is not rich in the first place, will bear a heavy burden.

Food, clothing, medicinal materials, these three things, like a mountain, weighed down on the head of the county magistrate of Cangtong County.

The official documents on the case table are getting higher and higher every day, and you don't need to look at them to know that they are official documents from above, and the content probably has the same meaning.

Be sure to properly resettle the victims without any mistakes.

The county magistrate Xu Hongyuan slapped the case table with his palm: "Pull up, buy your mother, how can there be so many victims with only a few hundred thousand taels of silver? Are you treating me like a scumbag?"

The wages of avarice is death.

Xu Hongyuan's mind settled down, and he suddenly greeted the outside world: "Come here."

"My lord, what are your orders?" The master came in from the outside, bent slightly towards Xu Hongyuan, and asked.

"Go, no matter what, don't let the disaster victims flood into Cangtong, you must stop them ten miles away."

The master was a little stunned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "My lord, is there something wrong with this?"

If the disaster victims are stopped and they are not allowed to enter, it may lead to conflicts. If this is to be investigated, it will be hard to escape the blame.

Xu Hongyuan had a fierce look in his eyes, and smiled coldly: "Since they don't want me to live, why should I care about those untouchables?"

Then he attached to the master's ear and whispered a few words, the master nodded repeatedly and praised Xu Hongyuan again and again.

A large number of victims have been running around for a whole day and night. They are already so tired that they don't even have the strength to speak. All of them look dull and hungry.

But they still have a firm belief in their hearts, that is to go to Cangtong County, as long as they get there, there is hope of survival.

Even a few people got mixed up in the team, but they didn't notice it, they just thought it was the victims of the disaster nearby, but they didn't see it.

The few people who sneaked in, although their clothes were ragged, looked surprisingly good, and their eyes were filled with a cruel and fierce light.

The catastrophe is coming.

At the same time, Jun Yeli's carriage had already entered Cangtong's territory, which was not ravaged by floods, and the crops were growing very well.

The hawkers on the side of the road are still hawking, but the prices have risen silently.

Rice, grain, and oil have increased several times overnight.

The expressions on the faces of all the people were a little excited, and the shopkeeper of the rice noodle oil was even more happy. They had been notified a few days ago.

A large number of victims will flood into Cangtong County, and the lack of food will become the object of competition for these victims.

The strange thing is that a lot of grain merchants have popped up in the past few days, they seem to be foreigners, resting in the local area.

The shopkeepers of those grain and oil stores all snatched all the grain from the hands of those grain merchants.

Then they put out all the grain and oil stored in the warehouse, ready to meet the victims.

Feng Wuxie lifted the curtain and looked at the faces of these merchants, feeling really angry in his heart.

In the face of a national disaster, it is shameless to even think about making money from the disaster victims.

Compared with Feng Wuxie's anxiety, Jun Yeli seemed careless, only looking at the scenery along the way, looking like a leisurely uncle.

"What's the rush? In a few days, when the relief money arrives, everything will be easy."

"That being said, those victims are really pitiful, and the money in their hands may not be able to buy a bucket of rice here."

Feng Wuxie has long seen that these merchants are driving up prices, and I am afraid that they have something to do with the government.

If the government wants to control it, how can they allow them to raise the price so high?This shows that it is releasing water.

"Oh, one tael of silver for one bucket of rice, that's really a sky-high price." Jun Yeli's face was filled with anger, but there was no trace of pain in his words, instead, there was some gloating.

The slightly raised corners of her lips made Feng Wuxie a little puzzled.

"Are you thinking about who to cheat again?"

Jun Yeli glanced at her lazily, and brought that handsome face close to her: "If you kiss me, I'll tell you."

Feng Wuxie pushed him away: "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

The carriage entered Cangtong smoothly and went straight to the county government office. Xu Hongyuan had already received Jun Yeli's letter, although he did not want to bring this down-and-out county magistrate in.

But due to the pressure from above, he had to obey orders.

They just asked someone to arrange Jun Yeli and Feng Wuxie in a backyard, and they served a table of meals without even showing their faces.

It was said that he was busy with official duties, and County Magistrate Zhang worked hard all the way, and came to meet him after he finished handling official duties.

Listening to the master's words, Jun Yeli waved his hand generously: "Magistrate Xu is polite, official business is important, official business is important."

Looking at the food on the table, Feng Wuxie couldn't help laughing a few times: "This county magistrate Xu is really honest and upright. He only eats tofu and potatoes to save food for the victims?"

"Xiao Cui'er, don't be rude." Although he was blaming the concubine for her rudeness, the county magistrate showed a flattering expression.

Pulling his concubine to his side, he kept adding vegetables to her bowl: "Come, try this."

The master looked at the scene in front of him, and sneered a few times in his heart. He heard that the magistrate Zhang was lustful, but he didn't expect it to be true.

It's just a concubine, but he is so bold, he looks down on this down-and-out county magistrate even more.

"My lord is dedicated to the people. These days, I can't eat because of the victims. In order to save food for the victims, my lord has given an order to save money. I hope that Master Zhang will not be disgusted."

Let me go, what I said here, the owner of the house already eats potatoes and cabbage, so you have the nerve to ask for fish and meat?
Jun Yeli remained calm and nodded repeatedly: "How dare, how dare."

I thought that the county magistrate Zhang would come to cry for poverty, but I didn't expect that it would be so easy to dismiss, and he would be coaxed down with a table meal.

The master curled his lips and led the servants back out.

As soon as the master left, Feng Wuxie bounced off Jun Yeli's leg, this guy's hands and feet were not at all restless.

It's a pity that she has nothing to do with him.

"The disaster victims are only a few miles away from Cangtong County. According to this speed, they will arrive in another quarter of an hour. Tell me, what measures will the county magistrate Xu take?" Feng Wuxie asked Jun Yeli, although he It seems to be leisurely, but Feng Wuxie always firmly believes that all this is under his control.

"What else can he do? The superiors have thrown all the pressure on him, I'm afraid he will break the boat, block the city gate, and go home to sleep." Jun Yeli sneered, and poured the wine glass heavily. Put it on the table.

"You mean, he won't let a disaster victim enter the city?" Feng Wuxie asked.

Jun Yeli nodded: "There are too many disaster victims. Once they enter the city, there will be looting incidents, hidden safety hazards will arise, and murder and theft cases will definitely multiply. Once the superiors are investigated, he will be punished. Punishment, so, no matter whether he let the disaster victims into the city or not, Xu Hongyuan would be like swallowing a fly, instead of making himself uncomfortable, he would make others feel uncomfortable, for example..."

"Disaster victims?" Feng Wuxie took up his words.

"Exactly, the unlucky ones will always be the victims. On the first day, he will keep the people outside the city. He will not open the city gate until the relief money is distributed to the people on the second day. In this way, the people All the silver in his hand will fall into his pocket."

Jun Yeli analyzed the situation bit by bit to Feng Wuxie, and even calculated the time accurately.
