There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

The thing that Da Chu lacks the least is food. The disaster in Nanyue has lasted for two years, and people are dying every day. Nanyue no longer has the ability to provide relief to so many victims.

What's more, it is still unknown how much of the disaster relief grain will remain after it is delivered from the imperial court to prefectures and counties.

His attack route is the refugees' escape route. What will happen to them if he just distributes food to them?

The ones who were truly starving were the illiterate common people. As long as they could be fed, many of them would rather be ghosts of Nanyue than people of Da Chu.

What's more, Nanyue no longer wants them. The people of Fengzhou, Yunzhou and Yanzhou are no longer the people of Nanyue.

Li Lingge looked at everyone and said loudly.

"Anyone who can lift a gun can wait here tomorrow. We in Great Chu do not support idle people."

After saying that, he directly controlled the golden chariot back to the city.

The captain was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. This man was actually openly gathering people to rebel on the city wall of their Nanyue!

"It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion, you guys stay here and watch, I'll go report it to the governor!"

After the captain finished speaking, he hurried into the city.

Danger! Danger!

It's too dangerous outside the city. Who knows, the guy in the sky might encourage the victims to go directly into the city.

By then, the few people he has won’t be able to stop them.

The officers watched Li Lingge return to the city helplessly.

Others can fly in the sky, but they only earn a few dollars a month, why bother risking their lives?

……

Governor's Mansion.

The chief historian asked.

"Sir, the relief food distributed by the court has arrived. How much should we keep?"

Xuzhou Governor Fang Qian asked in confusion.

"How much of what is left?"

The chief historian explained.

“Sir, you have just arrived and may not understand it well.

Generally, after the disaster relief grain is delivered, the governor's office will keep a portion, and the rest will be distributed to the counties."

"Nonsense!" the governor of Xuzhou shouted angrily, "You are asking me to take bribes and pervert the law!"

He sighed, then continued speaking earnestly.

"I eat your salary and share your worries. Every bit of it comes from the blood and sweat of the people. How can I bear to take even one grain of food from the mouths of the hungry people?"

Hearing this, the chief clerk at the side stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"Sir, even if you don't want to keep it, you can't distribute all the relief food."

"Why?"

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the young minister. If you want to continue to ask the court for grain, don't you need to make arrangements with the young minister?"

Seeing that he remained silent, the Chief Clerk continued.

"Our Xuzhou suffered the most damage after Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou. The victims are counting on you, adults."

The officialdom in South Vietnam has long been rotten. If we don't follow the trend, more people will starve to death.

The room was silent.

After a long silence, Fang Qian gave a bitter smile. He had never thought that one day he would engage in corruption for such a reason.

How can it be justified that corruption is done in order to obtain more disaster relief food for the people?

"So how much food should we keep?"

The chief historian stretched out a hand.

"At least 50,000 shi."

Fang Qian closed his eyes and pointed in the direction outside the governor's mansion.

"There are still tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city. They are also the people of South Vietnam."

"It used to be." Changshi reminded.

Fang Qian shook his head helplessly, somewhat absentmindedly.

"I can't stay in this officialdom any longer. I should resign and return to the countryside."

The Chief Secretary knew that he was a good official who sincerely served the people, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

"Sir, if you resign and return to farming, more people in Xuzhou will starve to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer ran into the governor's mansion in a panic.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"

"What's going on? You're so flustered. How can you be so rude?"

Fang Qian was looking worried and had no place to vent his depressed mood, so he couldn't help but scold.

thump!

The captain knelt on the ground, then pointed in the direction outside the city and spoke.

"Sir, Li Lingge, the King of Chu, is here!"

Fang Qian stood up suddenly.

"Has the Chu State already reached Lucheng?"

The Chief Secretary narrowed his eyes slightly, finding it a little unbelievable. The speed was too fast.

"No!" The officer shook his head and continued, "Li Lingge is in Lucheng, and he wants to incite the victims to rebel!"

He briefly recounted what had just happened outside the city. Fang Qian suddenly felt a headache, but a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the chief secretary beside him.

After coming to his senses, Fang Qian looked very disappointed.

"Then why did you come back? Just catch him!"

The police officer looked aggrieved.

"He is in the sky, and we can't reach him."

Fang Qian: ...

"Do you know where he is staying?"

The policeman shook his head. He came in too haste and didn't find out Li Lingge's background at all.

The chief historian on the side spoke.

"Probably at the Tang family."

Fang Qian looked puzzled.

"The Tang family?"

"Yes, yes, it's very likely." The captain agreed, "The Tang family is the richest family in Lucheng. If Li Lingge wants to provide disaster relief, he must have money and food. Only the Tang family can provide relief to so many disaster victims."

Hearing this, Fang Qian immediately picked up the pen.

"I will write a memorial to the court right now, with an expedited mission of 600 miles, asking the court to send troops to wipe out the Chu bandits as soon as possible!"

"It's not that troublesome."

A voice was heard outside the house, and the three of them turned to look outside.

At this time, a man in a white robe stepped in.

Da da da.

The policeman was so frightened that his teeth were chattering. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Lingge, but his mouth was open but no sound came out.

Fang Qian's face darkened.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the governor's mansion?"

The chief secretary at the side bowed and saluted.

"Xuzhou Chief Secretary Wen Kai greets His Majesty."

Li Lingge looked Wen Kai up and down.

"You are quite clever."

The governor didn't even understand who he was, but the chief clerk beside him was much smarter than him.

When Fang Qian heard that the person in front of him was Li Lingge, he immediately scolded.

"King Wei, a war between two countries should be an upright confrontation. You actually took advantage of the situation and incited the people to rebel."

snort!

He snorted and continued.

"These civilians have probably only touched kitchen knives at home. How can they go to the battlefield?"

He flicked his sleeves and shook Wen Kai's hand away.

"Even if you pull me, I will still say that for slaughtering so many lives, isn't King Wei afraid of being punished by God?"

Li Lingge couldn't help laughing.

"Have you ever seen what the sky looks like?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"I have seen."

Fang Qian opened his mouth and wanted to retort: ​​My God, everyone has seen it.

But he also felt that the sky that Li Lingge talked about was not as simple as he imagined.

Li Lingge pointed in the direction outside the city and continued.

"There are tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city, and there may be even more tomorrow. If you can help them, I will never compete with you for help."

"This official!" Fang Qian clenched his fists, but felt powerless in his heart, "The court will not ignore them."

Even Wen Kai could sense the lack of confidence in these words.

Li Lingge sneered and pointed at the captain.

"Just now your subordinates said that the people of Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou are no longer the people of Nanyue, and they will not be included in the disaster relief food."

Canglang!

The Seven Star Sword was unsheathed, and the blade fell on the neck of the police officer.

"If he is lying, he should be executed on the spot. Otherwise, it is the governor who is lying."

"grown ups!"

The captain looked at Fang Qian eagerly, his eyes full of desire for life.

Without waiting for Fang Qian to speak, Wen Kai spoke loudly.

"Lord Fang is willing to follow the will of heaven and seize Xuzhou and submit to the Chu!"

202. Chapter 202: Are you trying to seduce me, Your Majesty?

202.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

If he didn't want to lose his manners, he would have covered Wen Kai's mouth directly.

When did he say he wanted to surrender to Li Lingge? This is treason!

The Seven Star Sword was slightly raised, and the blade slammed fiercely on the neck of the captain.
