This time Xiao Wuji did not delay on the way and rushed to Northern Xinjiang as quickly as possible.

Northern Xinjiang is the collective name for Yongzhou, Daizhou and Minzhou in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The three states and several surrounding small cities all belong to the northern border.

Northern Xinjiang has been experiencing severe drought since the beginning of this year, with less than three rainy days in nine months.

As a result, there was no harvest in the three states, and the people had no food to eat, so they had no choice but to leave their homes and flee.

The refugees from northern Xinjiang also came here because of this.

After entering the territory of Yongzhou, Xiao Wuji saw countless refugees along the way.

All of them were in ragged clothes, with bloodless faces and skinny bones.

There was no life on the faces of these refugees, only numb and stiff expressions, and they moved forward tirelessly.

There are refugees with their families, and some are alone, with all their family members dead.

Some simply fainted and lost consciousness on the roadside, and may never wake up again.

Xiao Wuji felt very uncomfortable, but he could not save these refugees.

He had no dry food with him, and even if he had banknotes, it was like waste paper at this moment, unable to satisfy his hunger at all.

"I really didn't expect that the situation in northern Xinjiang has become so serious."

You don't know it by looking at it, but you are shocked when you look at it. Although northern Xinjiang is not at the level of starvation and corpses everywhere, it is not far away.

If we don't think of ways to save the people, people will soon starve to eat each other, and even To the point of exchanging children for food.

Seeing it with your own eyes is much more shocking than a few descriptions in documents.

No wonder the refugees in northern Xinjiang want to rebel.

At this point, they can no longer survive anyway, so they might as well rebel and fight. If you win, you still have a chance to live. If you lose, you will die anyway.

"This dog emperor!"

According to the usual practice, Xiao Wuji pulled out the Dog Emperor and scolded him in his heart.

The Dog Emperor must bear most of the responsibility for the situation in Northern Xinjiang to the point where it is today.

If he uses the money to rebuild the Great Luo Palace in Northern Xinjiang, disaster relief To save the people, the refugees in Northern Xinjiang will not be unable to survive and lead to rebellion.

In addition to the Dog Emperor, all the corrupt officials in Northern Xinjiang should be killed.

Xiao Wuji looked at the countless refugees around him, his eyes were cold and murderous.

At this moment, Xiao Wuji's heart boiled with murderous intent. Only blood can calm his murderous intent.

"drive!"

Xiao Wuji swung his whip, hit the horse hard on the butt, and galloped towards Yongzhou.

An hour later, Xiao Wuji arrived at the gate of Yongzhou City.

The city gate was closed tightly, and there were horse-repelling stakes placed in front of the city gate. There were troops Guarding outside.

The refugees who came to Yongzhou were not allowed to enter the city, so they could only gather outside the city.

Some refugees came forward to plead for mercy, hoping to enter the city, but they were chased away by soldiers and even whipped with horse whips.

Several soldiers were sitting there They were roasting chicken and drinking wine, laughing loudly.

The refugees who were going crazy with hunger looked at the fragrant roast chicken and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Some people were hungry and wanted to go up and grab it, but they were afraid that the soldiers would kill them.

Before they Before, some refugees had tried to steal food from the soldiers, and in the end they all died.

The bodies were thrown into the smelly ditch nearby.

Xiao Wuji became angry when he saw it, these soldiers were not good things.

"drive!"

Xiao Wuji rode to the city gate, and a soldier in armor immediately came up to drive him away with an extremely vicious attitude,"Yongzhou City has been closed. Without the handwriting of the governor, no one is allowed to enter the city, so get out of here!"

"Blind your dog eyes! Without saying a word, Xiao

Wuji whipped the soldier in the face and whipped him away.

When the soldiers at the rear saw that Xiao Wuji dared to make a move, they immediately rushed up with their spears.

Xiao Wuji raised his hand and slapped him away. , the strong palm wind immediately knocked them over, and their mouths and noses were bleeding.

"who are you? Want to rebel?"

The city gate garrison commander looked at Xiao Wuji, his legs were trembling, and he shouted and cursed tremblingly. Although he was very scared, he pretended to be calm and his expression was fierce.

The soldiers behind him were also frightened by Xiao Wuji and did not dare to act rashly.

Then, They saw Xiao Wuji take out a Jinyiwei Token.

Holding the Jinyiwei Token, Xiao Wuji shouted coldly:"I am the Thirteenth Taibao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Wuji, a member of the Jinyiwei Thousand Households, who dares to block my way?"

"Thousand households!"

"It’s actually Qianhu!"

The garrison commander was shocked when he saw the Qianhu token. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

The soldiers behind him all put down their spears and did not dare to act recklessly.

The garrison commander stepped forward and said with a flattering smile:"I don't know Qianhu. Your Excellency came here and I bumped into you. I hope you will forgive me."

"The soldiers under my command were ignorant, and the official apologized to the Lord here."

After saying that, the commander bowed and bowed.

Xiao Wuji snorted coldly, without any good looks on his face.

None of these Yongzhou soldiers were good people.

There were countless refugees nearby who were suffering from cold and hunger, but they were drinking and eating meat. ,.What are you doing?

Showing off?

Showing off that they can drink wine and eat meat, while the refugees can only chew tree bark?

"Who asked you to block the city gate? Why not let the people into the city?"

Xiao Wuji asked coldly.

The garrison commander said respectfully:"Your Excellency, this is the order of the Governor, and I also obey the order. Xiao Wuji said:"

As the governor of a state, is it possible that he wants to watch innocent people outside the city freeze to death and starve to death?""

The garrison commander said:"The governor is also helpless."

"In the past few months, Yongzhou has received too many refugees."

"After the refugees entered the city, they made trouble everywhere, smashing, looting and burning. There was no law at all."

"Because there are too many refugees, the governor would not be able to arrest them all even if he wanted to. Xiao Wuji said:"

Didn't the imperial court allocate disaster relief money and food?" Why not open warehouses to store grain and give porridge to save the people?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The garrison commander said:"Porridge shacks have been set up everywhere in the city, and porridge is given out every day."

"But there are too many refugees, and the relief money and relief grains issued by the court are too small, and they are simply not enough."

"In addition, the rebels have been approaching recently. If they accept refugees on a large scale, they may put spies into the city."

"In order to protect the people in the city, the governor had no choice but to block the city gates and prohibit refugees from entering the city."These words are reasonable and well-founded, putting all the responsibilities on the refugees.

But Xiao Wuji knows that the refugees are responsible, but there must also be problems with the officials in Yongzhou.

If they focus on disaster relief and follow the example, the situation in Yongzhou will not be the same. As for whether it would deteriorate to such an extent.

Xiao Wuji knew what the officials in the city were like just from seeing the behavior of the gatekeepers before. As the saying goes, like father, like son.

What kind of officials there are, what kind of soldiers there are.

The soldiers are so cruel, and the character of the officials can be imagined.

Not only Yongzhou, but also Daizhou and Minzhou must be the same.

In any year of great disaster, there will be corrupt officials who will cause trouble and make huge profits.

These corrupt officials are all cannibals. Those ruthless people who don't spit out their bones should all be killed!

Xiao Wuji looked at the guard commander and said coldly:"Open the city gate, I want to enter the city.""

"Also, you and your soldiers are not allowed to harm the people anymore, otherwise I will take your lives!"

Swept by Xiao Wuji's cold eyes, the garrison commander and his soldiers all shuddered, the hair on their backs stood up, and cold sweat broke out.

"Yes, yes, villains don’t dare, villains don’t dare anymore."

The garrison commander nodded respectfully, then waved his hand and ordered:"Open the city gate and let the Qianhu adults enter the city."

The city gate opened a crack, just enough to allow one person and one horse to enter.

After Xiao Wuji entered the city, the city gate was closed again.

It was not that Xiao Wuji did not want to let the refugees into the city, but that the garrison commander was right.

The refugees were at this moment They have reached the edge of madness. Once they are put into the city, they will do anything to fill their stomachs. Beating, smashing, looting and burning are still light, but serious murders are common.

Xiao Wuji will not save the lives of refugees outside the city. He did not have the right or qualification to sacrifice the lives of the people in the city.

If he wanted to save people, he had to take it step by step slowly.

Xiao Wuji asked passers-by for directions. After knowing the location of the governor's mansion, he rushed to the governor's mansion.

In Yongzhou City , Xiao Wuji also saw many homeless people.

They were entrenched on both sides of the road, no different from beggars.

Suddenly, Xiao Wuji saw a gathering place for homeless people on the street, and there was a sound of shouting and cursing in the distance.

"It’s time to give out porridge, and everyone is queuing up!"

"Come and get it one by one, one bowl per person, no one can have more!"

Xiao Wuji saw that under a sign for official relief, a policeman and several government servants cooked seven or eight pots of porridge.

The pot was very big, and one pot of porridge was enough for twenty or thirty people.

When the porridge was cooked, it turned white. The porridge is colorful and plump, and the porridge is fragrant. Countless refugees swallowed their saliva crazily.

Although it is a large white porridge with no side dishes and is bland and tasteless, it is also a life-saving thing for the refugees.

For the refugees, this large white porridge is nothing. A delicious meal.

However, after the porridge was cooked, the policeman did not serve it immediately.He grabbed a handful of chopsticks and inserted them into the porridge. He looked at the many refugees and said,"There is a saying in the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. When chopsticks float up, heads fall to the ground. (Wang Dehao))"

"Everyone has seen it. Now the chopsticks are firmly stuck in the porridge, standing like a big tree. We have not violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But the yamen only cooks the porridge and does not divide the porridge. If you want to get the porridge, go to the next door."

At this time, Xiao Wuji noticed that there was a sign for civilian relief next to the official relief. There was also a porridge shed. The police would cook the thick porridge, transport it to the next door, and pour it into a water tank..

A pot of porridge was mixed with five jars of water. The thick porridge that could not be poured over with chopsticks suddenly turned into cold rice soup. When a bowl of rice soup was scooped up, not even ten grains of porridge could be seen, it was all water.

Of course the refugees did not agree, but there were arrests nearby. They did not dare to cause trouble even though the yamen guards were guarding them.

Otherwise, they would not even be able to drink the rice soup. But the refugees had no choice but to receive the rice soup one by one. After drinking a bowl of rice soup, you can only smell the aroma of porridge, but not taste the porridge at all. Drinking cold water makes no difference at all, and even stuffing it between the teeth is not enough.

Of course, this kind of rice soup cannot satisfy the hunger, and some refugees want to have an extra bowl.

But as long as they dare to speak, they will be beaten and driven away.

Hungry and skinny refugees, how can they Will he be a match for the strong Yamen servant?

"Awesome, really awesome. Today really opened my eyes."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties, and the methods of corruption are really diverse!"

Xiao Wuji watched carefully from a distance, and the anger in his heart was burning, and it had already rushed to his chest.

He just took a glance and already understood the intentions of the government and profiteers.
