Arrived in Chang'an County.

The group's outfit immediately attracted the attention of people on the street.

Some are confused, some are surprised, some are astonished...

On the way here, Lu Shiwan used silver to buy two horses, so the few of them didn't need to step on the horses.

Therefore, the speed is much faster.

"Look! This is the first time I've seen such a big carriage."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that the emperor has one before, but I didn't expect to see one here."

"That's right, so this is what the real look is like. So majestic."

"Who are these people?"

"I don't know. Let's follow and see."

Seeing more and more people looking at them, the village chief took a deep breath.

Originally, as a village chief, I couldn't do this.

But his letters, one after another, seemed to have fallen into the sea, and he had to take responsibility for the villagers.

Even if it means losing this official position.

He said in a hoarse voice:

"There was a water shortage and famine in Gujia Village. The village chief reported the matter to his higher authorities and sent three letters in succession, but none of them received any response."

"There are hundreds of people in Gujia Village, and they are almost starving to death or dying of thirst."

"The entire Gujia Village demands that you investigate this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers of Gujia on the tricycles all echoed him.

"Please, sir, make the decision!"

"Your Excellency is ignoring the refugees. How can we trust your authority?"

"If Chang'an County becomes like this one day, will we just be left to die?"

"If there is a famine in Chang'an County, how will you deal with it?"

"People are dying of hunger and thirst in the streets, while the adults are drunk and having fun in their houses."

“How are we supposed to survive?”

"Please, sir, investigate this matter!"

"Please, sir, investigate this matter!"

"Please, sir, investigate this matter!"

The people from Chang'an County on the street did not expect that the people from Gujia Village came here to seek justice.

There was enthusiastic agreement among the crowd.

"Oh my god, there is such a thing?"

"It must be that the people in Chang'an County are greedy. I heard that the court allocated a lot of money from all over the country this time to help the poor people in the county."

"How could Gujia Village be in a state of famine?"

"Besides, I was there last time. It was lush and green."

"Hey, why is there a famine in your area? It was fine a few months ago."

Someone from Gujia Village said: "To be honest, the water supply to our village was cut off a few months ago, resulting in no harvest. Without harvest, there is nothing to eat."

"Everyone has been drinking black water for the past few months. Now that the black water is gone, isn't this forcing our entire village to die?"

As they spoke, the women and children of the Gujia villagers all burst into tears.

For a while, the streets were in an uproar.

Upon receiving the news, the county lieutenant hurried to the street.

When they saw the huge carriage and the group of people heading to the government office,

His expression changed drastically.

He waved his hand.

Immediately, several people dressed in military uniforms walked out of the street.

"Who are you?"

The slowly moving tricycle suddenly stopped.

The sudden question was expected by everyone.

"We are here to seek justice."

"Seeking justice? From which village?"

The village chief said: "Gujia Village."

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank, "Gujia Village?"

"Correct!"

"It takes two hours to get here from Gujia Village. You didn't stay in your own village and led the trouble. Have you ever thought about going to jail?"

"Go to jail? Great, hurry up and arrest us." The villagers of Gujia Village wanted nothing more than this.

Better than starving to death outside.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die with a full stomach.

The man couldn't believe it.

Are these people crazy?

He said, "Everyone go back. What's the point of making such a commotion?"

The people watching the show said, "Your Excellency, the village of these people is in disaster, and now they are here to ask for help, Your Excellency."

"Sir, the people of Gujia Village do look pitiful. It is right for them to go and reason with them."

"As an official appointed by the court, you are supposed to protect the people. If you don't even deal with the problems in the village, how can you govern Chang'an County?"

The county magistrate heard that he was going to find the county magistrate.

He immediately said angrily, "How can this be? They make such a big fuss over such a small matter."

"Is this how your village chief governs the villagers?"

The village chief has been worried about the villagers not being able to eat these days.

Now the other party hasn't even figured out what's going on and is slandering him like this.

The displeasure was clearly visible on his face.

"Are you the county lieutenant?"

"That's right." The county lieutenant put on an arrogant look.

"The county lieutenant is in charge of the public security of the entire county. He is also responsible for patrolling Chang'an County, catching thieves, and maintaining local security."

"I just don't believe that the county committee doesn't know about the situation in Gujia Village!"

The county lieutenant's eyes flashed with panic, and then he said calmly:

"I am very busy every day and have not noticed Gujia Village."

After hearing this, many villagers behind him were extremely angry, and some of the braver ones spoke up:

"Didn't notice?"

"Sir, it is because of your neglect of duty that our Gujia Village has been ignored."

"Since you haven't noticed, we will go directly to the government office. Please don't stop us!"

Rumors were rife and people were talking about it in the streets.

"This county committee has indeed neglected its duties. They didn't even notice such a big thing as Gujia Village. Isn't this clearly bullying us people?"

"That's right. It seems that it's not that the higher-ups don't know, but they know it but deliberately don't do it."

"I feel so too!"

……

Soon, several officers and soldiers were pushed away by the people. There is strength in numbers, so what can they do even if they are officers and soldiers?

So the tricycle continued to move forward.

Lu Shiwan in the carriage had put on a veil at some point.

At this moment, she is smiling.

"Miss, this is a really good method. It can inspire those who are guilty of their crimes."

"Yes, that's why."

Chang'an County, this word is not unfamiliar.

That Jiang, isn’t he from here?

The tricycle continued to move forward, and just when everyone thought they would get off at the government office, they unexpectedly passed by it directly.

Many kind-hearted people reminded them, but the people in Gujia Village refused to go down.

"So strange? Why don't you get off?"

"Hey, aren't you here to seek justice? Why don't you go down?"

"The government office has gone too far..."

Not far from the government office, many women and children got off the tricycles.

They knelt down and kowtowed to the passers-by on the road.

"Everyone, we are the women of the Gu family. We are unarmed and have no other options. We have no choice but to come here with the whole village."

"It is said that the officials are the breadwinners of the people, but our pleas have been fruitless, so we can only come to Chang'an County to beg you."

"We are all defenseless civilians. In this great country, we are just a skinny ant in front of high-ranking officials with high salaries."

"We are all from Chang'an County, like a rope twisted together, we all prosper together and suffer together. If we can't rectify this evil trend and resist it, I don't know how many people will suffer the same thing as us in the future."

"We are all people with children. Please, can you give us a little help?"

After hearing this, the children said in their childish voices: "My dear gentlemen and ladies, dear ladies and uncles, please, we cannot let ourselves die."

"Woooooooo..."

There was wailing in the streets.

The women with children felt the same way and burst into tears.
