Chapter 171 Sir, Something Is Wrong
Chapter 171 Sir, Something Is Wrong
Liu Yun and his party moved all the rice out of the room. Perhaps due to the shock just now, the group of refugees in the ruined temple did not mess around, but their eyes were fixed on the large sacks containing rice.
"Come here and line up to get food."
Liu Yun looked at the refugees opposite and shouted loudly.
As soon as these words came out, all the refugees stood up and pushed forward desperately, hoping to get the food first.
"Get out of the way, I was here first."
"I'm in front, don't jump in line."
"Stop squeezing, I can't breathe anymore, please step back!"
Seeing the chaos in the scene, Liu Yun shouted slightly dissatisfied.
"Don't crowd. The more you crowd, the more time you will waste. If you want food, just line up for me! And those of you who cut in line, go to the back, or don't get food from me!"
After being shouted at by Liu Yun, the group of refugees became quiet, and those who originally wanted to jump in line honestly walked to the back of the line. After the team calmed down completely, Liu Yun led people to distribute food. Although it was not much, everyone had a few kilograms of food in their hands, so they should be able to eat for a day or two.
At the same time, the girl in the house changed her clothes and came out. But when she looked at the old man lying on the ground, her whole body instantly collapsed to the ground.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
Looking at the old man bleeding to death, the girl's eyes turned red. She covered her mouth with her left hand and gently pushed the old man with her right hand, trying to wake him up.
But everything she did was destined to be in vain. No matter how much she shouted, it was impossible for the old man to speak.
"Master, how will she deal with it?"
Liu Yun noticed the girl next to him and couldn't help but ask Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also glanced at the crying girl at this time. She was not tall and had a very thin body. The official uniform of the government servant was slightly loose on her body. She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Chen slowly walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any relatives at home?"
Hearing Gu Chen's voice, the girl let out a choked sob, then slowly raised her forehead. When she saw clearly that the person in front of her was her savior, she pretended to be strong and shook her head, "No, no more, I I have been brought up by my grandfather since I was a child.”
After saying that, her eyes became red and swollen again, and tears fell down unsatisfactorily.
First she was bullied by the government officials, and now she saw her grandfather murdered. This series of blows was not something a teenage girl could bear.
She didn't even know how she would live after leaving her grandfather.
After hearing the girl's answer, Gu Chen thought for a moment, and then said: "If you have nowhere to go, you can come with us first and see if you are willing."
It just so happened that all his food was stored in Tanjiang Village. It shouldn't be a problem to say hello to the old village chief and put people at his place.
The girl's eyes froze and she stared blankly at the savior in front of her. After a moment of silence, she slowly nodded and said, "Can I take my grandpa with me? I don't want to leave him here alone. "
"Um."
Gu Chen nodded.
He has a car, so it's easy to take someone with him.
And this old man is probably the other person's only relative, so Gu Chen can understand this move.
Gu Chen gave instructions to Liu Yun, and then two guards immediately came forward and carried the old man on the ground to the cart and covered him with a mat.
After processing, Gu Chen and others left the ruined temple on horseback, not even paying attention to the government officials in the temple.
"Hurry and prepare a car, Brother Hao is dying! We have to send him back to the county seat quickly."
As soon as Gu Chen and others left, one of the government officials immediately helped Li Hao up and said anxiously.
At this moment, Li Hao's face had no color at all, and his pale face was extremely frightening.
"These people are so brave. Even Brother Hao dares to move. Aren't they afraid that the county master will cause trouble for them?!"
Another yamen servant scolded and helped Li Hao to help him get into the car.
"The skills of this group of people are extraordinary at first glance. They are not here to provoke us specifically!"
"I don't know! Alas, but in this famine period, you should be more careful."
"You're right. You can meet anyone these days. It's better not to be as arrogant as before."
"Now is not the time to worry about these things. Let's take Brother Hao back for treatment! Don't waste time."
The other government officials around me began to talk about it, especially when I thought about the scene of the fight between the two sides just now, I was still a little frightened at this moment.
....
Magistrate of Qingshui County.
"Report!"
A government servant hurriedly ran in, then knelt on one knee on the ground, "My lord, something is wrong. Something happened at the ruined temple. Brother Hao and others have their hands and feet cut off."
"What did you say!"
Zhou Zhi suddenly sat up from his chair and looked at the running government servant with a shocked look on his face, "Tell me, what's going on? Where is Li Hao now?"
Li Hongxiong, who was sitting next to him, frowned subconsciously, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Sir, Brother Hao is currently in the hospital looking after his injuries. Today's situation... is that a group of people suddenly rushed into the ruined temple where we were giving porridge. They attacked us if they disagreed with us. Not only did they take away all our food , and even more than thirty good brothers died."
Snapped!
Zhou Zhi threw the tea cup to the ground angrily, and said with a cold expression: "These unscrupulous people actually dare to touch people from the government!"
Although I don't know who did it, but at this time, they just robbed the government's food in the ruined temple, and it must be only the group of refugees who could do it.
Immediately, Zhou Zhi asked again: "Do you know what these people look like?"
The yamen officer nodded and said: "I saw a few people clearly, especially the man in purple, who has a good temperament. I have a deep impression on you."
"Immediately find a painter to draw several people's faces, and then conduct a notice throughout the city to arrest them."
"yes."
After the Yamen servant left, Li Hongxiong, who had been silent all this time, looked at Zhou Zhi and said, "Mr. Zhou, is this what you said, no problem?"
Zhou Zhi immediately said with a smile: "Master Li, there are some unruly people in every place, but don't worry, I will definitely arrest all these people within ten days to shock everyone."
"It's better like you said."
Li Hongxiong glanced at Zhou Zhi coldly, and then said: And... of the more than 6,000 shi of food I brought this time, you sent people to distribute more than 4,000 shi of food to appease the refugees. To prevent them from rioting. As for the remaining two thousand, you can find a way to help me sell it.
Originally, Li Hongxiong was only going to give half of the grain to Zhou Zhi to distribute, and Zhou Zhi would sell the rest.
But now that he heard about the refugee riots, he was still worried, so he was willing to spend an extra thousand stones of food.
"Okay, I will send someone to take care of it now." Zhou Zhi lowered his head and said.
