Chapter 237 Human Blood Steamed Bread
After the emperor finished speaking, the commander of the Imperial Guard left and retreated all those who were staring at the Ninth Princess secretly.
After Long Jiuling discovered it, he showed a cunning smile, and then returned to the room.
...
Chen Xiao waited outside the city for almost an hour before seeing a figure coming towards him.
After a closer look, it was Long Jiuling.
He was very curious, and when Long Jiuling approached, he asked her:
"Girl, how did you come out?"
Long Jiuling smiled and said, "Dress up as a palace maid, then take the token I stolen from my father and come out!"
She said it very easily and with confidence!
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Awesome, I deserve to be my woman, awesome!"
Long Jiuling also smiled.
However, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue and Kuratoshi was stunned.
He had seen the Ninth Princess, and his face changed at this moment.
I thought to myself that Chen Xiao was too brave and kidnapped the emperor's daughter?
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything.
Just pretend not to see it!
Then, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling entered the carriage, and the disaster relief team really set off.
It takes about several days to go to the disaster area in the south.
Along the way, I have to pass by many places.
Chen Xiao just treated it as a public tour, and it was not boring to travel with Long Jiuling along the way.
After they left for half a day.
Suddenly, someone came from the Nine Heavens Palace and the Ninth Princess disappeared!
The emperor was stunned when he heard this news.
Then he slapped himself on the forehead:
"Oh... I'm careless... I should have thought that Chen Xiao left so easily, and it would be abnormal that Jiuer didn't have any movement at all..."
The old eunuch was also speechless and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to chase him?"
"What are you chasing? Now that I have been running for so long, it would be strange if I catch up and I can come back... Alas... I don't have to worry too much. There should be no danger around Chen Xiao."
What can the emperor do now?
Sighing helplessly: "The girl is old, she won't stay..."
The old eunuch smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say...
At the same time!
In the clan mansion, Hu Zhaoyi, who was thinking about his mistakes, looked at his son and said:
"Chen Xiao, did you really go to the south?"
"It's true!" said the third prince.
"Okay, a good opportunity!" Hu Zhaoyi was very excited.
The third prince also said: "The same is true for the child. If he left the imperial capital, we would rather do it. After all, there are too many pessimistic people in the imperial capital, so it is difficult to act rashly!"
"Well, please contact the ministers who are related to us in the south and let them find a way to kill him... The benefits are indispensable!" Hu Zhaoyi said.
The third prince gritted his teeth: "The child understands that this time, I will not let Chen Xiao come back alive!"
After saying that, the third prince left with a serious look on his face.
Hu Zhaoyi took a deep breath and said:
"Chen Xiao... Only when you die, everything... can stop..."
...
On the other side!
Chen Xiao, Long Jiuling and the accompanying officials rushed for a full four days and finally arrived in the south.
In the south, the disaster was Sankou County and Qingchuan County under the jurisdiction of Shunning Prefecture, Nanjiang Province!
Floods occurred in these two counties, with countless casualties and injuries, and the people were in full swing!
After arriving at the place, the scenes Chen Xiao saw were shocked!
Almost everything you see near these two counties is the victims.
Everyone who sees them is refugees.
Many elderly people and children even sit on the side of the road, without even the strength to beg.
From time to time, elderly or children will come over to sleep and never wake up again!
Some young and middle-aged people ask people for food all the way, or dig wild vegetables on the hillside to find everything that can be eaten without consuming death.
You can see people selling children and daughters everywhere, just for a bite of food and just for your children to have a stutter!
These scenes are heartbreaking!
"This... has just approached the two counties, and it's already like this? Where are millions of people suffering from disaster? I think... it's almost two million..."
Although I had guessed that the disaster was more serious than I thought, I didn’t expect it to be twice as serious!
Long Jiuling didn't even dare to watch those scenes.
Has she seen these scenes before?
At this moment, my whole eyes were red!
"Where are local officials? What do they do for food? Don't care about such situations?" Long Jiuling said angrily.
Chen Xiao sighed: "They only dare to report as lightly as possible so as not to affect their assessment. As for the people, how can they really care about it?"
Long Jiuling said: "They... are so bold? One side is an official, how can they ignore this situation?"
"Along the way, you saw many victims, have you ever seen a person from the yamen?" Chen Xiao spoke lightly!
Long Jiuling thought for a while: "No..."
"Where are there anyone who really cares about the lives and death of the people?" Chen Xiao sneered.
Long Jiuling was stunned, and then said angrily: "If you really do this, you should die!"
"Yes...damn!"
Chen Xiao nodded and then said, "Go to Sankou County."
So, the carriage passed by the disaster victims and quickly headed towards Sankou County before the New Year.
After entering the city, Chen Xiao said to the doctor of the Cangma Department: "I will go to the county government office, you will take people to the county government office's grain storage."
The doctor of Kurabeto was puzzled: "Sir, why are you going?"
"Be ahead and go and see the grain. In addition, I warn you that you will definitely take good care of the grain storage with the officers and soldiers!" Chen Xiao ordered seriously!
The doctor of Kurabeji was puzzled, Chen Xiao continued:
"If there is a problem with the grain storage, such as a fire, then you will be burned together!"
The doctor of Kurabushi immediately understood: "Sir, are you worried that when you come, they will set fire and burn the so-called granary that has no food?"
Chen Xiao sneered: "Just understand!"
The doctor of Kurabeji nodded in admiration: "Go away immediately, I promise not to give anyone the chance to burn the granary!"
After saying that, Kurabeji Doctor left with his people.
Long Jiuling didn't understand: "Why do some people burn the granary?"
Chen Xiao said: "Because of local corruption, many local granaries are empty and do not meet the grain storage standards required by the imperial court."
Long Jiuling nodded: "So, this place is flooded and the county magistrate did not do anything. You are worried that there is no grain in the granary. Then he will send someone to burn the granary, which is an accident? There is nothing to check!"
Chen Xiao nodded, self-evident!
At this time, the carriage had arrived at the county government office.
Chen Xiao got off the carriage, and the officers and soldiers accompanied him were about to come forward to report, but he reached out to stop him.
And he signaled that the runners of the county yamen were not allowed to move.
Then he brought the officers and soldiers into the county government.
There was no one in the front yard, only some minor officials.
Going further to the backyard, I heard laughter and joy.
Chen Xiao continued to go in and saw that in the lobby of the backyard of the county government, the officials of the county government were surrounding a large table and eating big fish and meat.
There are also beautiful maids around who pour wine to serve them.
At this moment, Chen Xiao felt angry.
