The next morning.
Early in the morning, Jia Yun took her luggage and rushed all the way to Fucheng.
Along the way, white bones were exposed in the wild, there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, the fields within the four seas became barren, and even the bark of the trees in the distance was peeled off and eaten by people. Jia Yun couldn't help but feel quite sad. Heavy, said: "This is chewing the bark!"
In the past, Jia Yun had only seen records of such miserable scenes from ancient books.
The history of the historian, the horror and blood and tears hidden behind the scenes, are the complaints of countless people against the injustice of heaven.
Not long after, Jia Yun walked to the crowd gathering place and found someone dead on the roadside. After hurriedly going over to check, she found that the person's belly was swollen, but it didn't look like he was starving to death. He hesitated and asked the person beside him. The old man said: "Old sir, how did this man die? Didn't he have no food? Why is his belly still so big?"
A gray-haired old farmer glanced at Jia Yun and found that Jia Yun was well-dressed. He immediately realized that this person was extraordinary.
In their place, people are almost starving to death, so how can they find someone like Jia Yun in gorgeous clothes?
The old man then patiently persuaded Jia Yun: "He died of swelling due to eating Guanyin soil. In recent years, there have been constant droughts. From March to September last year, there were only three heavy rains. The harvest of the year was so heavy that taxes and miscellaneous taxes were levied." After paying a lot of money like this, there is no food to eat. Those people really can't survive, they can only eat this Guanyin soil and swell to death!"
Jia Yun couldn't help but shrink her pupils when she heard this. He had only heard about it before, but now he saw such a tragic situation with his own eyes.
After he was slightly shocked, he looked at the old man and continued to ask: "Then the court doesn't care about this matter?"
When the old man heard this, he also sat next to him and rested, and said feebly: "The imperial court? When has the imperial court ever cared about the lives of ordinary people like us?"
After Jia Yun glanced at the old man, she continued to ask: "Thank you very much, old man, for clearing up the confusion."
Say it, Jia Yun bowed her hands to the old man and planned to continue rushing towards Fucheng.
When the old man saw that Jia Yun was young and well-dressed, and was kind and polite to others, he couldn't help calling out to Jia Yun and said, "Young man, don't go any further. There are bandits ahead who are blocking the road, robbing people, killing people and eating meat. Many young people really can't live anymore, so they turn into bandits, robbing passers-by, killing people and eating meat."
For a moment, Jia Yun felt deeply terrified and said with numbness, "Is this really so?"
The old man sighed and said, "I am old and have no flesh for them to eat. Therefore, these people let me come over. I also had a daughter before, but after she starved to death, I exchanged it with other people." He gave birth to a son to eat. There is really no other way to exchange his son for eating. How miserable it is!"
As he said that, the old man also looked at Jia Yun and continued: "I am old. Although I have lived for a few more days relying on my daughter's flesh and blood, I cannot escape death. My conscience is really hard to live with. Maybe if I go to the Palace of Hell, I will I have no shame in going to see my daughter.
The reason why I squat here is because I want to persuade one person before I die, so I can persuade one person as atonement.
Young man, you are still young, don't leave again, lest you end up like me. "
After hearing the old man's sincere words, Jia Yun could no longer contain her anger and said, "There are so many dog officials, those people only care about their own enjoyment and do not care about the life and death of the common people. They really deserve to die!"
Although Jia Yun also engaged in corruption and business, she had never been greedy for things like disaster relief money. At least she was a conscientious official with morals and a bottom line.
Nowadays, the dog officials in these places have ignored the laws of the country and the common people for their own selfish desires, causing the natural disasters to become even more terrifying, and Jia Yun can't help but feel a murderous intention in her heart.
"If you don't kill such a dog officer, it won't make the people angry."
For a time, Jia Yun also made up her mind to make these people look good and bring these corrupt officials to justice and give them the death penalty.
Then, the old man also looked at Jia Yun in astonishment and said, "Who are you?"
Jia Yun
He didn't hide his identity, he just looked at the old man and said, "I am the imperial minister sent by the emperor to come here to provide disaster relief."
The old man was shocked when he heard this. The savior he had been longing for had finally arrived. He couldn't help but burst into tears: "Ah! You are actually the imperial envoy. It turns out that the emperor has not abandoned us! But why are you not around?" Are you accompanied by a government officer? This place is a wilderness. If something happens to you, what should you do? Come on, come with me."
After saying that, the old man hurriedly took Jia Yun to their gathering place.
Humans are social animals, and this old man is no exception.
Jia Yun followed the old man.
.........
Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.
It is said that since Jia Yun left the capital and went to the local area to provide disaster relief on the emperor's order, everyone in Rongguo Mansion felt that the Wuzhi Mountain above their heads suddenly disappeared, and the sense of oppression and restraint in their hearts disappeared immediately. No trace left.
The little tricks that were hidden before were also openly revealed. .net
In particular, Jia She, Jia Lian and others are like wild horses that have escaped the reins and are no longer fettered.
All day long he either spent money gambling and drinking wine at home, or he was drunk, eating, drinking and having fun, so unhappy.
The servants and servants of Rongguo Mansion are also easy to change, and their nature is hard to change.
Originally, Jia Yun was in charge of Yun Mansion. The two mansions were relatively close to each other, and their mouths were not very tight. If this got into Jia Yun's ears, wouldn't it be a good meal?
Therefore, these people do not dare to act recklessly or act recklessly.
Now that Jia Yun has left the capital, they naturally dare to act randomly.
Especially Jia She, this person is ridiculous and shameless, coquettish and has no great ability.
And because of the incident between Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, he was very unhappy.
Jia Mu's partiality will eventually lead to bitter consequences.
Seeing that Jia Yun had left, Jia She was Jia Yun's father-in-law, and he was very proud. He wanted to get back his own identity and status from Jia's mother, so he called Jia Lian to discuss the matter: "I want to get a maid from the old lady's house to be my concubine. What do you think?"
After hearing what Jia She said, Jia Lian couldn't help but be stunned, and asked Jia She quickly: "Father, who do you plan to ask to be my aunt?"
Jia She smiled and said, "I'm attracted to the mandarin duck in the old lady's house!"
Jia Lian was silent: "What????"
He couldn't understand what Jia She was thinking. That Yuanyang was now the most handy maid in Jia Mu's house.
