He stuffed cakes into his mouth desperately, stuffing it so hard that he coughed repeatedly.
Xiao Baozhu quickly gave him a water bag and said, "Brother, drink."
After delivering water to her brother, she looked at the woman again.
"Auntie, why don't you eat?"
The woman shook her head sadly.
"You're going to starve to death sooner or later anyway, so it's better to have this meal."
Huo Yingwei said doubtfully: "I think they also give out porridge. Although it's not rich, it shouldn't be a problem to survive, right?"
"Stay alive..." The woman smiled bitterly.
She picked up the broken bottom of the bowl, and there was still a mouthful of porridge in it.
"Look at this thing. Does it look like it can keep us alive?"
Huo Yingwei took it closer and took a look, his face suddenly darkened.
The rice used here is the worst.
But if that's the case, forget it.
It just so happened that a mouthful of porridge was mostly made of rice bran, something that even animals would despise, but it was actually used for human consumption!
"Have you always eaten these things?"
The woman nodded and wiped her tears, "How can we survive just by eating these things!"
Huo Yingwei's face turned serious.
When the imperial court releases food, it is not this kind of food.
He had seen it with his own eyes, and it was full of rice grains.
Now that the grains have been replaced by these, I wonder what happened in the meantime.
There are always those who line their own pockets and take advantage of disasters to line their own pockets.
But this is too exaggerated!
"Daddy." Little Baozhu couldn't figure out what happened.
"Someone is lining their pockets."
No need to wonder how many people there were and how much money was exploited.
"Is there a bad person?" Xiao Baozhu was very angry.
"He is more than a bad guy!" the woman cried. "The county magistrate hoards the good rice and sells it at a high price. We can't afford it, so we can only wait to die!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears again.
Huo Yingwei opened the curtain and looked outside.
He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw it.
On the roadside, there were many fat-bellied and skinny people lying on the roadside.
They were all so hungry.
He had heard earlier that some officials were hoarding rice and selling it at high prices.
Unexpectedly, he would actually meet him now!
Xiao Baozhu became even angrier.
She waved her little fist, "Dad, I think this officer is a bad guy and deserves a beating!"
He deserves a beating.
Huo Yingwei looked outside again.
Now if we report it to the emperor, and wait for him to send someone to manage it, these people who are going to starve to death may not be able to wait any longer.
"Sister, can you show me the way?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Do justice for heaven!" Huo Yingwei's eyes were full of anger.
The woman was scared at first, but then she thought again.
The worst he could do was to die. Judging from Huo Yingwei's extraordinary demeanor, he might actually be able to help them!
Following the woman's guidance, they arrived at the county magistrate's office.
Huo Yingwei held the little orb in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.
The concierge came to open the door, but before he could take a serious look, he said: "The master is not here!"
"We can go in and wait." Huo Yingwei said with a cold face.
This time the concierge raised his head with a look of contempt on his face.
"Come in and wait. Who allowed you to come in and wait?"
"Who are you to deserve to come in and wait?"
"Let's go, don't stay here."
The concierge said, coming up to push Huo Yingwei.
Although Huo Yingwei held the little orb with one hand, his ability did not diminish at all.
He reached out his hand and grabbed it.
With just an ouch, the concierge fell to the ground.
Huo Yingwei strode inside.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!" the concierge shouted loudly.
Immediately, many people rushed out from inside.
Huo Yingwei became even more angry when he saw this battle.
The county magistrate did not provide disaster relief, but he kept a lot of thugs at home.
He put the little orb down.
"Wait for dad here, don't wander around."
Little Baozhu nodded obediently.
When they saw it, their noses became angry.
Arrogant, too arrogant.
However, Huo Yingwei has this arrogance.
Within a dozen moves, all the people who came were lying on the ground.
When the wives and concubines of the county magistrate heard the commotion, they all came out to take a look. When they saw what was happening, no one dared to come forward.
Huo Yingwei patted the dust on his body, turned around, picked up the little orb, and strode in unceremoniously.
At this moment, the county magistrate was drinking tea happily in his room, thinking about how much money he would get this time.
Seeing Huo Yingwei barging in, he jumped up immediately.
"Hey?! Who are you?! Do you know where this place is, and you dare to break in?! Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
He shouted for a long time, but no one came.
"No need to shout, they are all lying outside." Huo Yingwei said, "Are you the county magistrate here?"
"You know how dare you do this?!"
Huo Yingwei looked at him and said, "Tell me, how much did you get greedy this time?"
The county magistrate was stunned, and then shouted, "You are talking nonsense here. I am a good official who loves the people like my own son, and you actually pointed at me to embezzle disaster relief funds!"
Huo Yingwei sneered.
He is quite conscious.
Before he even said what kind of money it was, he yelled it out.
Huo Yingwei was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, "I give you two days to open the warehouse and stock up on food."
"Ouch!" The county magistrate's eyes widened, "You have such a loud voice!"
Who dares to point fingers at him here!
The magistrate put on a posture, "What if I don't?"
Xiao Baozhu touched his little fist.
This county magistrate looks like he really deserves a beating.
Huo Yingwei also saw Xiao Baozhu's thoughts.
He raised the little orb and said, "Come, my daughter."
The county magistrate didn't know what they were going to do, so he stared at them with wide eyes.
Little Baozhu rounded her palm, snap!
A crisp sound.
A red slap mark was left on the county magistrate's face.
"You?! Little bastard, you dare to hit me?!"
The county magistrate covered his face in disbelief.
In this remote place, he is the earth emperor.
Who wouldn't be respectful when meeting him? How dare he come to make trouble and let such a little brat slap him? !
The word "little brat" made Huo Yingwei very unhappy.
If you dare to scold his daughter, she deserves a beating!
Huo Yingwei came up with a kick.
The county magistrate didn't even have time to hum before he fell to the ground.
"You, you are so brave, you-"
Huo Yingwei still didn't talk nonsense to him and continued to kick him.
The county magistrate was round and chubby. He was lying on the ground and was being kicked around like a rubber ball.
He was very tough-talking at first and refused to beg for mercy.
But he soon discovered that Huo Yingwei might not kill him, but it would make him more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Hero, hero, spare your life!"
The county magistrate was about to vomit blood.
With such a fighting method, it would be better to just kill him!
The magistrate's hands trembled, "Hero, what do you want, take it, take it!"
He'll give him any amount of money, just don't hit him again!
Huo Yingwei was also tired of beating. He sat down and stepped on the county magistrate with his feet.
"I didn't beat you to death because I was kind-hearted. Anyway, I still said the same thing."
"Say it, say it!" The county magistrate was about to cry.
