Chapter 1047 Hungry Everywhere

The next day, there was another armed fight in the east of the city, and a murder case occurred outside the city for grabbing water. x update fastest

Li Yuandao was about to take people to deal with matters outside the city, but Yang Shiqi stared at him and immediately forced him to release food.

Li Yuandao was helpless, he just asked people to post the food distribution notice with a sad face, then got up and said: "Master Yang, sit down, I will go to mobilize people to take care of the people."

Yang Shiqi nodded and said: "I have cavalry with me, you can take them with you and see who dares!"

"Then thank you, Master Yang."

Li Yuandao couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and even his footsteps were a little erratic.

Yang Shiqi looked at his back and felt a little strange: "Why does this person look really happy?"

...

As soon as the announcement of the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain came out, everyone crowded to the gate of the city in an instant.

"Put food at the gate of the city?"

Yang Shiqi was about to set off to supervise, when he heard the news, he slapped the table and said angrily, "He is going to run!"

Yes, Li Yuandao just wanted to run away, and the distribution of food at the gate of the city was just a cover, the purpose was just to let the people block the gate of the city and cover him and his men from escaping.

...

"Where's the food?"

The people gathered at the gate of the city could not help but feel depressed when they saw the empty area behind the officials, covered with food and no water.

The officials were also puzzled, and one of them said: "Everyone wait, it must be on the way to be transported!"

So the people were quiet, thinking that the government would never lie.

But after waiting, it was the cavalry sent by Yang Shiqi who came.

"Where's the food?"

A woman rushed out and shouted with dull eyes: "My lord, where is the food? My son is still waiting for porridge!"

The officials were also confused, so they went up to ask the cavalry why they came.

"Get out of the way, we're going out of town!"

The leader of the Qianhu official shouted angrily, Yang Shiqi gave him the order to chase Li Yuandao back, regardless of life or death if necessary.

"My lord, where's the food?"

The woman asked desperately. That thin figure and withered cheeks made the people around her feel unbearable.

But the military order was over the mountain, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the Qianhu officer, and he drew his knife and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The woman shook her head and shouted in a voice that came out from the depths of her throat: "My lord, where is the food? My son is waiting for porridge!"

Behind the woman are the people, and from the sight of the thousand household officials, they are all heads.

"Blockers, kill!"

Veins popped up on Qianhuguan's neck, and the consequence of not being able to catch up with Li Yuandao made him raise his knife cruelly...

"Kill Nima!"

"who?"

The sudden voice made the Qianhu official shout angrily, and the common people also felt that this man's courage was beyond bounds, and they all looked back.

Fang Xing stood on the top of the city, and people kept climbing up behind him. The connection of several ropes allowed him to finally enter Jinan City.

"I've seen Uncle!"

The Qianhu officer withdrew his knife without hesitation, and handed it over immediately.

Fang Xing's eyes swept over, and finally settled on the woman.

Just behind the woman, a man was holding a four or five-year-old child, who was already limp on the ground, and it seemed that he was not far from starving to death.

Fang Wu climbed up, walked behind Fang Xing and said, "Master, Seventh Brother has already led people to chase him down."

The people below were hungry, and Fang Xing's eyes were full of murderous intent: "It's not worth killing such a wolf-hearted person!"

Walking down the city, under a pair of numb eyes, Fang Xing walked up to the child, looking at those almost demented eyes, he couldn't help but think of the smart eyes of the two children at home.

The man watched in horror as Fang Xing stretched out his hand, and then touched the child's forehead.

"How long has the family been out of food?"

The man said weakly: "My lord, there has been no food since last year. We all find food in the mountains. The adults can still live, but the child can't."

Fang Xing saw that there was still no movement in the child's eyes, so he couldn't help straightening up, turning around to look at the kneeling woman, and a sense of sadness in his heart made him curse at the officials: "You dog,

If you don't carry food, are you still waiting to be rewarded? go! It's too late to kill your whole family! "

The officials didn't know Fang Xing's identity yet, but when they saw the cavalrymen dismounted and bowed their heads, they knew that big trouble was coming.

Judging by the killing intent in Fang Xing's eyes, if it's too late, he and others today will become Cao Cao's food officer in the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms and have his head borrowed.

Wang He was pulled up by someone, and he said out of breath, "Get out of the way, His Royal Highness is coming down."

In an instant, these people immediately got out of the way.

Threatening with a long knife just now, Fang Xing climbed the city wall and rushed to the desperate crowd who could not be shaken, and finally got out of the way.

Fang Xing looked at this road made of people, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

Zhu Zhanji was the first to show up. Behind him, Jia Quan was all tense, his eyes flicked around, afraid that an assassin would rush out of the crowd.

Fang Xing stood where he was, looking at Zhu Zhanji in a daze.

Zhu Zhanji had never seen Fang Xing appearing so weak, he was startled, he hurriedly dismounted and came over and asked, "Brother Dehua, is there something wrong?"

"Send someone to open the warehouse and release the grain."

Fang Xing's voice was full of exhaustion. He shook his head, pointed at these people and said, "I've been thinking about how dare those officials sit and watch the people under their rule fall into the brink of life and death. Look, these people can walk around. , I bet, there must be many people who are unable to move and are lying on the bed waiting to die, and what is waiting for them is only loess, there will be no coffins, because they can’t afford it, they can’t afford it!!!”

Fang Xing's voice was so loud that the people around him looked over in surprise.

"I'm impulsive, let's put the food first."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and then ordered people to go to the warehouse to carry the grain.

"Your Highness, the subject...is guilty."

Yang Shiqi rushed over, pleading guilty with shame on his face.

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said: "Shan/Dong has been corrupted so far, Li Yuandao's responsibility cannot be shirked. If he is innocent, he will definitely take the initiative to plead guilty and avoid suspicion. Can he plead guilty?"

Yang Shiqi was speechless and could only remain silent.

Fang Xing shook his head, stopped Zhu Zhanji, who could no longer suppress his temper, from getting angry, and then urged: "Ask someone to set up a stove to light a fire to cook porridge, and medicinal materials, hurry up and gather medicinal materials!"

After a catastrophe, there will be a catastrophic epidemic. If an epidemic breaks out, then...

Zhu Zhanji was horrified, and immediately ordered Yang Shiqi to summon all the officials of Jinan Prefecture.

The food arrived, the stove was set up, and the sticky rice porridge exuded an attractive fragrance in the mist of cooking smoke.

"The rations have been distributed, and they are all lined up. Women and children are given priority, and men who dare to grab them will be taken!"

The crowd became agitated, and under the command of the sergeants, they formed a long line to receive rice grains one by one, and they could also drink a bowl of sticky rice porridge.

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were on the sidelines, looking at the light of hope in the eyes of those people, but they couldn't be happy, and their hearts were heavy.

"They produce food, but they can't feed themselves. They weave cloth, but they don't have any clothes. Zhan Ji, there is no hope for such a Ming Dynasty. If it continues like this, your descendants and my grandchildren will become slaves of others." .”

Fang Xing's voice was low and his eyes were blank: "Of course, maybe my descendants can survive, as long as they are willing to bow their heads. But you, your descendants will not be able to avoid death!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled wryly and said: "Shan/Dong has been corrupted so far, and the censor and Jinyiwei cannot escape the responsibility. In recent years, the emperor's grandfather has often ordered the censor to come down to inspect, but there is no problem found in Shan/Dong. This is the problem!"

At this time, Jia Quan hurried over and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, only 20% of the granary in Jinan City is left!"

Zhu Zhanji's body almost lost his balance. He shook a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "Take it all out, send them all, and then immediately send someone to the capital to report, asking for food! Wanting food!!!"
