Chapter 202
This time, Xiao Wouji did not delay halfway and rushed to northern Xinjiang as quickly as possible.
Northern Xinjiang is the collective name of Yongzhou, Daizhou and Min Prefecture in the northern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The three states plus several small cities around them all belong to the northern frontier.
Northern Xinjiang has been experiencing a severe drought since the beginning of this year, with less than three rainy days in nine months.
So much so that the land of the three states had no harvest, and the people were hungry and could only flee from home.
The displaced people in northern Xinjiang also came from this.
After entering the Yongzhou realm, Xiao Wuji saw countless displaced people along the way.
They were all ragged, bloodless, and skinny.
The faces of these displaced people were no longer angry, only numb and stiff expressions, and they walked forward tirelessly.
There are displaced people dragging their families with them, and some are alone, and their families are all dead.
Others directly fainted on the side of the road and lost consciousness, and may never wake up again.
Xiao Wuji saw it very badly, but he couldn’t save these displaced people.
He has no dry food on him, even if there is a silver ticket, this moment is like waste paper, and he can’t feed himself at all.
“I really didn’t expect that the situation in northern Xinjiang was so serious.”
I don’t know if I don’t look, but I’m shocked when I see it.
Although the northern Xinjiang has not reached the level of starvation and corpses everywhere, it is not far off.
If you don’t want to save the people, you will soon reach the point where people will starve and eat, or even change their children to eat.
What you see with your own eyes is much more shocking than a few descriptions in the paperwork.
It is no wonder that the displaced people in northern Xinjiang are about to rebel.
At this point, it is no longer possible to live anyway, it is better to rebel and fight.
If you become a chance, you will die, and if you lose, you will die.
“This dog emperor,!”
According to the custom, Xiao Wuji pulled the dog emperor out again in his heart and scolded.
The situation in northern Xinjiang has evolved to this point, and the dog emperor is definitely responsible for most of it.
If he used the money from the rebuilding of the Da Luo Hall to Northern Xinjiang to relieve disasters and save the people, the displaced people in Northern Xinjiang would not be unable to survive, leading to rebellion.
In addition to the dog emperor, the corrupt officials in northern Xinjiang should also be killed.
Xiao Wuji looked at the countless displaced people around him, his eyes were cold and murderous.
At this moment, Xiao Wuji’s killing intent boiled in his heart, and only blood could calm his killing intent.
“Drive!”
Xiao Wuji flicked the horsewhip, hit the horse’s butt hard, and galloped towards Yongzhou.
An hour later, Xiao Wuji came to Yongzhou City.
The city gate was closed, and a horse stake was placed in front of the gate, and an army was guarding the town outside.
None of the displaced people who came to Yongzhou were allowed to enter the city, so they could only gather outside the city.
Some displaced people came forward to intercede, hoping to enter the city, but were driven away by soldiers and even whipped with horsewhips.
A few soldiers sat on the side roasting chicken and drinking, giggling and laughing.
The hungry homeless people looked at the fragrant roast chicken and couldn’t help swallowing their saliva.
Some people were hungry and wanted to go up and rob them, but they were afraid that the soldiers would kill them.
Before them, there were already attempts by displaced people to snatch food from the soldiers, and in the end they all died.
The body was dumped in a nearby stinking gutter.
Xiao Wouji was angry when he saw it, and these soldiers were not a good thing.
“Drive!”
Xiao Wouji rode to the gate of the city, and a soldier in armor immediately came up to drive away, with an extremely vicious attitude, “Yongzhou City has been closed, if there is no handwriting from Lord Shi, no one is allowed to enter the city, get out of here!” ”
“Blind your dog’s eyes!”
Without saying a word, Xiao Wuji directly slapped the soldier in the face with a horse whip and pumped him out.
The soldiers in the rear saw that Xiao Wuji dared to make a move, and immediately rushed up with a spear.
Xiao Wuji raised his hand and slapped it out, and the strong palm wind suddenly overturned them, and blood rushed from his mouth and nose.
“What are you? Want to rebel? ”
The commander of the city gate guards looked at Xiao Wuji, his legs trembled, and he cursed tremblingly.
Although he was afraid, he pretended to be calm and inward.
The soldiers behind him were also frightened by Xiao Wouji and did not dare to act rashly.
Then, they saw Xiao Wou-ki take out a brocade guard token.
Holding the Jin Yiwei token, Xiao Wuji said coldly: “This official is the thirteenth taibao of the Great Zhou, Xiao Wuji of the thousand households of the Jinyiwei, who dares to block the way of this official?” ”
“Sento!”
“It’s actually a thousand households!”
When the guard leader saw the Thousand Households Token, he was taken aback, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The soldiers behind him also all put down their spears, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.
The commander of the guards stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: “Xiaguan did not know that Lord Qianhu was coming, and he bumped into the adult, and he hoped that the adult would forgive him.” ”
“The soldiers under him are not sensible, and the subordinate officer is here to make amends to the adult.”
After speaking, the leader bowed and bowed.
Xiao Wuji snorted coldly, without the slightest good face.
These Yongzhou soldiers are not a good thing.
There are countless displaced people next to them who are freezing and starving, but they are drinking and eating meat on the sidelines.
What is this doing?
Show off?
Show off that they can drink and eat meat, and the displaced can only gnaw the bark?
“Who told you to seal the city gates? Why not let the people into the city? ”
Xiao Wuji asked in a cold voice.
The commander of the guards said respectfully: “Lord Rongyu, this is the order of Lord Assassin Shi, and the villain also obeys orders.” ”
Xiao Wuji said, “As a state assassin, could it be that he wants to watch innocent people outside the city freeze and starve to death?” ”
The guard commander said, “Lord Shi Shi is also forced to helpless.” ”
“In the past few months, Yongzhou has taken in too many displaced people.”
“When those displaced people entered the city, they went around making trouble, smashing, looting and burning, and there was no law to speak of.”
“Because there are so many displaced people, Lord Assassin Shi can’t catch it even if he wants to.”
Xiao Wuji said, “Didn’t the imperial court have disaster relief silver and disaster relief grain allocated down?” Why not open a warehouse and release grain and give porridge to save the people? (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The guards commanded: “There are porridge shacks all over the city, and there is a daily soup meal. ”
“But the number of displaced people is too large, and the disaster relief silver and disaster relief grain issued by the imperial court are too small, and there is simply not enough to use it.”
“Coupled with the recent approach of the rebels, if you wantonly accept the displaced people, it is likely to put the traitors in the city.”
“In order to protect the people in the city, Lord Shi Shi had no choice but to block the city gate and prohibit the displaced people from entering the city.” This statement is justified and puts all the blame on the displaced people.
But Xiao Wou-ki knew that there was responsibility for the displaced people, but there must also be problems with the officials in Yongzhou.
If the disaster relief is focused and the upward and downward effects are carried out, the situation in Yongzhou will not deteriorate to such an extent.
Just because Xiao Wouji saw the behavior of the gatekeepers before, he knew what the officials in the city were like.
The so-called father must have a son.
What kind of officers there are, there are what kind of soldiers.
The soldiers are still so cruel, and the conduct of the officials can be imagined.
Not only Yongzhou, but also Daizhou and Minzhou.
In every year of great calamity, corrupt officials will take advantage of it and seek huge profits.
These corrupt officials are ruthless characters who eat people and do not spit out bones, and they should be killed one by one!
Xiao Wuji looked at the commander of the guards and said coldly: “Open the city gate, this official will enter the city.” ”
“Also, you and your soldiers are not allowed to harm the people again, otherwise your official will take his life!”
Swept by Xiao Wouji’s cold eyes, the commander of the guard and the soldiers under him all shivered, and the sweat on his back exploded, and cold sweat broke out.
“Yes yes yes, the villain does not dare, the villain does not dare anymore.”
The commander of the guards quickly nodded respectfully, and then waved his hand and ordered: “Open the city gate and let the thousand households enter the city.” ”
The gate opened a crack, just enough to accommodate one person and one horse to enter.
After Xiao Wuji entered the city, the city gate was closed again.
It’s not that Xiao Wuji doesn’t want to let the displaced people into the city, but the commander of the guards is right.
The displaced people are now on the verge of madness, and once they are in the city, they can do anything to fill their stomachs.
Smashing, robbery, and burning are still light, and heavy killings abound.
Xiao Wouji would not sacrifice the lives of the people in the city in order to save the lives of the displaced people outside the city, and he did not have this right and qualification.
If you want to save people, you have to take it step by step slowly.
Xiao Wouji asked the passerby for directions, and after knowing the location of the Assassin History Mansion, he rushed to the Assassin History Mansion.
In Yongzhou City, Xiao Wuji also saw many displaced people.
They are entrenched on both sides of the road, no different from beggars.
Suddenly, Xiao Wouji saw a gathering place on the street, and there was a sound of shouting and scolding in the distance.
“Give porridge, give porridge, all line up!”
“One by one, one bowl per person, no one can more!”
Xiao Wouji saw that under a sign of official relief, a catcher with a few servants cooked seven or eight pots of porridge.
The pot was huge, and one pot of porridge was enough for twenty or thirty people.
The porridge was cooked, white flowers, full of grains, and the porridge was fragrant, and countless homeless people were frantically swallowing saliva.
Although it is a large white porridge, there are no side dishes, and it is tasteless, but it is also a lifesaver for the displaced people.
For the displaced people, this big white porridge is the supreme delicacy.
However, after the porridge was cooked, Yu Kuai did not immediately give porridge, but grabbed a handful of chopsticks and inserted them into the porridge, looked at many displaced people and said: “There is a word in the law of the Great Zhou, the chopsticks float, and the heads fall to the ground.” (Good king)”
“You can all see that now this chopstick is firmly inserted in the porridge, standing like a big tree, and we have not violated the law of the Great Zhou.”
“But Yamen only cooks porridge, regardless of the distribution of porridge, if you want porridge, go to the next door.”
Only then did Xiao Wuji notice that next to the official aid, there was also a sign of people’s aid, which was also a porridge shed.
When the thick porridge is cooked, it is transported to the next door and poured into the water tank.
A pot of porridge mixed with five tanks of water, the thick porridge that does not fall with chopsticks is transformed, and it directly becomes cold water rice soup.
A bowl of rice soup was scooped up, and even ten grains of porridge could not be seen, all of it was water.
Of course, the displaced people did not agree, but there were fast guards next to them, and they did not dare to make trouble.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have to drink rice soup.
Helplessly, the displaced people could only receive rice soup one by one.
A bowl of rice soup to drink, can only smell the porridge, can not taste the porridge at all, and drinking cold water is not different at all, stuffed between the teeth is not enough.
Of course, this rice soup is not satisfying, and some displaced people want to ask for more bowls.
But as long as you dare to speak, you will be arrested and quickly beaten and driven away.
How can hungry and skinny displaced people be opponents of the able-bodied soldiers?
“Awesome, really powerful, today really opened my eyes.”
“There are always more ways than difficulties, and this corrupt means are really varied!”
Xiao Wuji looked carefully from a distance, and the anger in his heart was raging, and he had already rushed to his chest.
With just a glance, he already understood the intentions of the government and profiteers.
