Chapter 502 Beloved Concubine (30)

Qingyun Prefecture?
Baitang frowned slightly, Qingyun Prefecture was not close to the emperor, and it would take half a month to hurry up.

Baitang's eyes changed slightly: "My lady, what trouble did you encounter? Qingyun Prefecture is not close to the emperor's capital, but my lady came here on foot?"

It takes at least a month to walk.Women and children's footsteps are slower than men's, so they need more time.

The woman had a bitter look on her face: "Young Master, I don't know. There has been no rain in Qingyun Prefecture for more than half a year. The seedlings have dried up and died, and the court doesn't care. I am a rude woman. I have no choice but to walk to the imperial capital to sue the officials. I beg Your Majesty to save Qingyun and the people around it, sir, can you help us?"

Baitang's face became gloomy, and the child was taken aback. He controlled his expression and asked in detail: "How long has the lady traveled? How many people have surplus food? How is the local food price? Who are the officials?"

The women came together one by one: "I walked for two and a half months. Many people in my village have starved to death. Basically, every household has no surplus food. Taxes are heavy these days. Where there is any surplus food, there is nothing to worry about." Died the grass roots and gnawed the bark to barely satisfy the hunger."

"The price of grain is also very high. The county magistrate Deng Rui took out all his property and gave us all the houses to live in. But it is still not enough. The price of the local grain merchants is extremely high. Mr. Deng couldn't bear to see too many people starve to death, and let the government officials I took out all the food from the grain households and distributed it to everyone, and I wrote an IOU and promised to pay it back after I got through the difficulties."

"There was no grain merchant coming. Mr. Deng said that he delivered more than a dozen memorials to the court, but the court did not reply. The person sent to Beijing also heard nothing. Mr. Deng said, we can't completely blame the emperor. The traitor blocked the memorial, but His Majesty didn't know about it."

"The concubine and some villagers spontaneously went to the imperial capital, hoping to bring the news to the imperial capital and to His Majesty, so that our fathers, fellow villagers, and poor people can be saved!"

The woman looked at Baitang expectantly again, knelt and kowtowed: "My lord, I see that you are either rich or noble, can you help us? Thousands of ordinary people are waiting for the relief food from the court! Our lives are also Fate!"

Baitang was very serious: "If what the lady said is true, I have made up my mind to speak clearly, and listen to it."

The woman hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare I talk nonsense about so many people's lives?"

The child timidly said: "What my mother said is true, she didn't lie, many people starved to death along the way."

Meng Yi asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you still want to go to Yunxi Village?"

Baitang shook his head. The original plan was to go to Yunxi Village to see the local conditions and harvests. Now that he encountered such a situation, the plan would naturally have to be changed.

Baitang: "My lady and Mr. Xiaolang, come with me, I will take you to report. Hurry up, my lady has gold under her knees."

The women and children were delighted.Two guards carried them back.

After walking for about an hour, Baitang suddenly reined in his horse and stopped: "There are assassins, be careful."

Meng Yi panicked, carefully observing the surroundings, the guards surrounded Baitang and protected him inside.

The women and children turned pale, terrified.

Baitang instructed: "Protect this lady and her son well."

"Yes, son."

Baitang has already tightly grasped the folding fan transformed by the waves.

Meng Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent. After returning to the palace, he must be trained as a good student."

Baitang smiled: "The training is at the back. The imperial guards and the Imperial Forest Army come out for training every now and then. Those who should be punished will be punished, and those who should be promoted will be promoted."

Meng Yi knew that a storm was about to break out in the Imperial Guard Army and Imperial Forest Army.
