After the eldest princess was reborn, she was forced to bind the power system

Along the way, starvation was everywhere, and some victims fought violently for a bite to eat, and almost lost their lives.

Some people stuffed food into their mouths regardless of whether it was covered with sand or not, while others quickly fed it to their wives and mothers after they got it, but they could only swallow their saliva while they were hungry, and drank desperately. Water, because it gives you the feeling of fullness you've always dreamed of.

The closer it was to Minghe Mansion's territory, the more serious the situation was.

Xia Chengyun and Fu Ling had never seen such a terrifying scene, and they were quite frightened along the way.

"Sister, the natural disaster is too terrible. Why don't they even have any food? Don't the local officials care about these situations?"

"Those who are willing to take care of it may not be able to take care of it now."

Xia Hanyu's eyes were deep and her expression was cold.

Since the system asked her to rescue, it means that the other party should be able to persist until their arrival.

"Driving~"

The few people almost rushed to the horse, and arrived in two days after what should have been a three-day journey.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they felt something was wrong.

Taiping County is so quiet. It is as quiet as an empty city. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the city seem listless. The houses in the whole city are almost flooded and look dilapidated. Some even only have the outer skeleton left. , or it was directly washed away, leaving only one corner, which can be seen seriously.

Xia Hanyu and Xia Ji glanced at each other, and hurried into the city towards Caishikou.

From a distance, one could see a sea of ​​people there, almost the entire Taiping County and the disaster victims from outside had arrived. Everyone knelt there, shouting grievances, as if someone could really come to decide for them.

"It seems that we can only dismount first."

The front was blocked by a sea of ​​people, and they couldn't get in on horseback.

And judging by their appearance, Banzheng should have not executed yet.

Everyone nodded and got off their horses.

Xia Chengyun subconsciously held Xia Hanyu's hand, "Sister, what are they doing?"

He didn't understand why so many people were crying for grievances. Are they calling for grievances for themselves?

Xia Hanyu: "They are calling for grievances for our loyal and upright officials in Great Xia."

"Let's go."

She held his hand instead, and a group of people walked in, almost squeezed to the execution place, and saw a middle-aged man in prison uniform being pressed on the execution platform, standing behind him An angry executioner, a high-ranking official sat behind the execution platform, looking indifferently at the pleading common people below.

"My lord, I am wronged! Although our lord opened the imperial court's reserve granary without authorization, it was because there were too many victims. Please let the magistrate look into it clearly and let the net be lenient!"

"What's more, our lord has already written a letter to His Majesty before opening the warehouse. I hope that your lord will allow a few more days, wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"

Yang Hong knelt there and kowtowed heavily.

He knew that this would be the case when the adults opened the granary, but Taiping County couldn't hold on at that time!

However, upon hearing his words, the magistrate on the high platform was still unmoved at all, and his tone was indifferent.

"Ban Zheng, the magistrate of Taiping County, opened the imperial court's food reserves without permission. He knowingly committed the crime. He violated the holy order. The crime is unforgivable. He should be sentenced to death!"

After the man finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.

"The time has come, execution!"

The command arrow in his hand was thrown violently, and the prisoner was executed.

Even though Xia Chengyun was in a hurry, he took two steps forward, but Xia Hanyu kept pulling him.

He immediately jumped up anxiously, "Sister, didn't you say that he is a loyal minister and upright official? Should we just watch and not save him?"

Before Xia Hanyu opened his mouth, he saw that the people who were kneeling on the ground suddenly swarmed up to the execution platform, protecting the Taiping county magistrate Banzheng in the middle, not allowing the executioner to get any closer.

"Master Zhifu, Lord Ban is wronged, please forgive me~"

"My lord, we are protecting you, you run quickly."

If you run away, you won't die, and you will have a chance to redress your grievances in the future!

"you!"

Banzheng's eyes were sore, his breathing was heavy, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why do you need to do this!"

He obviously didn't do much, why should they treat him like this, and take him for his life!

"Go down quickly. This means that I have disobeyed the imperial decree. It is only natural that the magistrate wants to kill me."

When he opened the warehouse to release the grain, he was already ready for today.

However, no matter how much he persuaded those people, they still did not retreat.

Xia Chengyun's eyes widened instantly.

"Is there really an official in this world who can be so upheld by the people?"

Xia Hanyu's heart was also shocked, "There are corrupt officials like Zhang Hua in this world, so naturally there are good officials like Ban Zheng who are upright and clean."

"It's just that in our troubled world where corrupt officials are everywhere, such officials are rare and rare."

Although it is true that the criminals deceived the emperor by opening the imperial granary in private, but under the current catastrophe, it is justifiable, and the crime is not fatal. But to want his life so anxiously, there must be other secrets behind it.

"Xia Ji."

"only."

Xia Ji nodded, but before he could move, he saw a series of archers running out of the surroundings, and surrounded them all at once.

The cold arrows just hit these innocent people. They were scared on the surface, but they subconsciously surrounded Banzheng in circles.

"Master Ban, we will protect you!"

The prefect warned coldly, "If you don't consciously get off the platform, don't blame me for executing you as accomplices!"

Hearing this, Xia Hanyu's face immediately turned cold.

"presumptuous!"

"When did my Daxia's arrows aim at the innocent people of my Daxia? You, the magistrate, are so majestic!"

The clear voice was full of coldness, and Xia Hanyu's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

"Who dares to trespass on the execution ground!"

The magistrate had noticed the sudden appearance of a group of people since just now, and was vigilant.

The next moment, Xia Ji pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and immediately inserted it into the prefect's desk with a bang. He was so scared that he rolled off the chair and finally got up. His eyes fell on the sharp, bloodthirsty handle, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Xiu Chun Knife, Jin Yiwei!"

Those people were actually from Beizhen Fusi!

He hurriedly put on his hat and ran down from his seat, and ran to them respectfully, bending over.

"I don't know if it's the adults from Beizhen Fusi who came here, but the officials are welcome from far away, and welcome from far away!"

Jin Yiwei's official rank is indeed not as good as that of the magistrate, but they are the emperor's close ministers, and they are the sharpest knives in the emperor's hands. .

Even the officials in Shangjing dare not provoke them at will, let alone the officials outside, who don't even have the courage to resist.

The cold sweat on the prefect's forehead could hardly stop falling, no matter what he couldn't stop.

His gaze turned around, and finally stopped on Xia Jishi.

"I don't know how to call this adult?"

As long as Evil Yan Luo Xia Ji didn't appear in person, there would be a turning point for today's matter.
