Bai Ze nodded and grabbed the big soldier who just bullied the old man.
"Tell me, why are there so many homeless people here?"
"What do the local guardians do for food?"
Seeing the ferocious expression on Bai Ze's face, the big-headed soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly explained.
"Master, these are all orders from the local guard, Mr. Jiang!"
"Master Jiang said that the reserve of supplies in this sanctuary is limited, and priority must be given to those who can contribute to the sanctuary."
"These homeless people can't contribute anything to the shelter except consuming supplies, so..."
After hearing what the big-headed soldier said, all of us looked very unhappy.
Before the great catastrophe, the country was officially divided into thirty-four refuge areas, which were unified under the jurisdiction of the central government.
The guardian envoy is the highest official in each sanctuary area. He is in charge of the local military and political power. He is so powerful that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a feudal official.
However, after the great catastrophe, disasters continued to occur in various places, communications were interrupted, and the connections between places weakened, resulting in the weakening of high-level control over many shelter areas.
Many sanctuaries became de facto independent kings.
The original intention of high-level officials to establish shelter areas is to allow more people to receive assistance and ensure their survival and safety.
And what this Lord Jiang did was obviously openly defying the policies of the higher-ups.
"Where is your Lord Jiang?"
I stared at the big soldier and asked coldly.
"After the great catastrophe, Mr. Jiang has been working in the Green Zone."
The big-headed soldier answered truthfully, not daring to delay at all.
"Take us to him!"
I snapped.
The big-headed soldier didn't dare to disobey, so he led us across the street and came to a corner.
There are two motorcycles with sidecars parked here, which they use specifically for patrolling.
Bai Ze and I pressed the big soldier into the front car, dismissed the other soldiers, and asked Lonnie to take He Xiaozhao and others into the back car.
The big soldier drove us in person. After passing through two run-down neighborhoods, the front gradually became lively.
Teahouses, taverns, and shops line both sides of the street. Many men and women in colorful clothes are walking up and down the street, creating a scene of peace and prosperity.
In addition, there are countless soldiers with live ammunition patrolling the periphery of the neighborhood.
Only then did I realize that this so-called Green Zone is a city within a city.
All the manpower, material resources and resources of the entire sanctuary are concentrated here, creating a comfortable home for those rich and powerful children in troubled times.
Inside the Green Zone, people were singing and dancing, but outside the Green Zone, people were starving and dying everywhere, and it was a desolate scene. Seeing this scene, we all got angry for no reason.
"This Master Jiang really deserves death!"
Bai Ze clenched his fists and said with hatred.
"When we meet, I will definitely beat him to death!"
I quickly said: "Brother Bai, don't be impulsive. It's not too late to make a decision after you find out the truth about Mr. Jiang."
After all, Mr. Jiang is the guardian of the Mongolian Xinjiang Sanctuary, and the defense around him must be extremely tight.
Moreover, we need to find out the situation in Ulan City first, so naturally we cannot act on impulse.
"Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I know what to do."
Bai Ze responded: "Then let's find out the information we need first, and then beat him to death!"
About ten minutes later, the patrol motorcycle stopped in front of a magnificent building.
"Master, this is Lord Chiang's official residence."
The big-headed soldier pointed at the building in front and said with a look of fear.
"Very good, go and report him now and ask him to come out immediately."
I sat in the passenger seat and said in a deep voice.
"this……"
big
The leading soldier asked with some confusion: "Master Jiang is busy with official duties, I'm afraid this villain can't call him."
"It doesn't matter,"
I said calmly: "Just tell Cheng Yi of the Yin Yang Association to wait for him outside, and he will definitely come out."
Although I do not hold any official position, I am a major official partner and have participated in imperial meetings.
Ordinary soldiers may have heard of it, but I am confident that as a guard envoy, it is impossible for Mr. Jiang not to know my name.
"Okay, let me try it..."
The big-headed soldier finished speaking somewhat unconfidently, and then got out of the car to inform Mr. Jiang.
As soon as he turned around, I slapped him on the back.
"Master, what are you doing?"
The big-headed soldier turned his head in horror and asked in a trembling voice.
"What not to do?"
I smiled and said, "I just put a death curse on your back. If you dare to play any tricks, I will activate the death curse immediately."
"When the time comes, I can guarantee that you won't even know how to die."
The big-headed soldier shrank his neck in fright and said hurriedly: "Young people don't dare to be naughty, please don't worry, masters!"
I nodded and asked him to report it quickly.
The big-headed soldier got out of the car and walked towards the official residence.
There were two guards standing guard outside the gate of the official residence. When they saw a colleague approaching, they simply questioned him and let him go.
A few of us sat on patrol motorcycles and waited quietly.
"Brother Cheng, do you think Jiang knew we were coming, would he take the opportunity to escape?"
I shook my head: "Probably not."
"After all, he doesn't know the purpose of our coming here. Even if he has something in his mind, he will definitely find out first and not run away directly."
Lonnie also said: "Xiao Chengzi is right. As a guardian of one party, Mr. Jiang must know Xiao Chengzi's name and will definitely not offend us easily."
While we were talking, the door of the official residence opened, and a middle-aged man in a robe with a fat head and big ears walked towards us, surrounded by a group of guards.
"The Mongolian garrison envoy Jiang Tiansheng met with Mr. Cheng and other experts."
"I don't know if you are coming here, it's really a long way to go."
Mr. Jiang quickly walked up to me, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
"Master Jiang, you are too polite."
I smiled slightly and jumped out of the patrol car.
"When I first arrived at this treasured land, there was a lot of trouble. I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me."
I reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Although I knew that Jiang Tiansheng was not a good person, I still needed to get some information from him, so I responded with a smile.
Jiang Tiansheng smiled, then raised his wrist and glanced at the Patek Philippe he wore on it.
"It's almost noon, haven't you eaten yet?"
"I'll ask the cook to prepare a small feast. How about we chat while we eat?"
I nodded slightly: "Then it's Mr. Lao Jiang."
After saying that, we followed Jiang Tiansheng into his magnificent official residence.
"At a time of national crisis, it is really majestic for Lord Chiang to live in such a magnificent official residence."
