Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui was terrified for a moment.If it is true what he said, this matter is simply outrageous!Although embezzlement of money and food is disgusting, it always happens during disaster relief, because the salaries of officials set by the Communist Party are really pitifully small. Without these gray incomes, we can only cut a knife from disaster relief and taxation. As long as we don't go too far, the top will turn a blind eye.But the embankment collapsed three months after it was built. How much money was embezzled?This is pushing the people downstream into the flood!No wonder the victims rioted, it would be good if the dog officer hadn't been slaughtered!

It was inconvenient to reveal his identity outside, so Ye Sirui drank a lot of herbal tea.Of course, this tea is not as delicious as tea tossed, but it is extremely bitter. I don't know if it is really bitter, or he is depressed.

Xia Shu asked, "How are those disaster victims doing now?"

The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again, as if he didn't want to talk about it, "It's so miserable. The bees swarmed into the county, and they got sick and burned the county government. Most of the men were arrested. If they get sick, they can only stay in prison." Li waited for death. The others are locked up outside the south of the city now, and there are people delivering food and a medical center dispensing medicine, which is not bad.”

"These are all arranged by the county magistrate?" Ye Sirui asked.

"That's right! Speaking of Mr. Kong, the disaster victims would not have their parents screaming. If Mr. Shi hadn't been in town, would the county have been merged? It would have been over by now." When he said this, the nearby tea drinkers also agreed.

Bingxian County did not see any impact.The victims were the villagers outside the Nancheng city, but now they are resettled outside the gate of the Nancheng city. If there is another flood...he dare not think about it.After the guards had rested enough, Ye Sirui told them to get up and go on.The Yangtze River flows by the edge of Bing County, and the damaged embankment is just outside the west city.Ye Sirui told everyone to ride out through the west gate.

The west city gate was guarded by soldiers, and no one entered or left the city. Ye Sirui and his party were very conspicuous.Soldiers with crossed halberds stopped them. "Stop! Who?"

Ye Sirui signaled everyone to be scared, and led the horse forward and said, "We are doing business. We passed by Bing County. It seems that business here is not easy to do. We are going to see other places."

The soldier was not convinced by this argument, "Where's your cargo?"

The guards who usually guard the state government are also big figures like the magistrates. Seeing the ordinary soldiers in these counties, they are a little arrogant, and they are about to make trouble when they are made things difficult.Ye Sirui pressed his palms down to comfort them. "I heard that Bing County was affected by the disaster. I originally wanted to transport grain to sell, but grain is precious. Our group is now exploring the way."

He was handsome and handsome, and his speech was very gentle. The soldier relaxed his vigilance a little, "No entry or exit is allowed here! Let's go through another city gate!"

Ye Sirui signaled Chaming to bring out the money, "This big brother is sympathetic, our goods are nearby, and it takes a long detour to go out from the other city gates. The big brothers have worked hard, you take this money to eat at the bar." Unexpectedly, the soldier did not take the money, but instead became furious, "Who are you!? The west gate has not been allowed to enter and exit since the flood, and it has been flooded from the outside to the downstream. If you really brought goods nearby , how did you get in?"

Seeing that the pretense was not round, Ye Sirui straightened up and threw the silver back into Cha Ming's arms. "Brothers, let's do it, take it lightly, and don't cause any harm." Those guards escorted Mr. Qian Shi to Bing County, all of them were armed with swords and horses, and they didn't pay attention to these soldiers at all. They heard Mr. Ye said so After ordering, they drew their swords one after another.The soldiers guarding the city hadn't figured out what happened, so they raised their halberds hastily to fight.The guards used the back of the knife or the scabbard to knock the soldiers unconscious before putting the knife back into the sheath.One soldier dropped his weapon in fright, wiped his face with snot and tears and begged for mercy.The guards all sneered and said, "Looking at your tough words, I didn't expect that you are all cowards, and dare to bully grandpa?"

Ye Sirui said: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go."

Everyone got on their horses and rode, Xia Tian stretched his horse past the shivering guard shivering on the ground, and knocked him unconscious with a flick of the long sword in his hand.

The water outside the city receded a little, leaving only small puddles, but the flooded farmland trees, sundries in the puddles, and corpses of cattle and sheep all showed that this place was once a vast ocean in the past. "Be careful, don't get stuck in the mud." Ye Sirui said.Holding the reins, he carefully steered the direction of the mount, avoiding puddles that might be filled with mud.

The embankment was several miles away from the city gate, but everyone dared not ride their horses forward because they could not walk fast.Ye Sirui was burning with anxiety, when a scream came from behind: "Help!"

Ye Sirui reined in the reins and hurriedly dismounted.The back has become a mess.One of the guard's horses was half bogged in the mud. "Don't come close! Don't get off the horse!" Xia Shu suddenly yelled, got off the horse and ran all the way.The guards were stunned by his sound and scattered in all directions.The guard was about to get off the horse when he stopped him, so he sat stiffly on the horse, watching the mount being swallowed by the mire bit by bit.

"Catch it!" Xia Shu pulled off a roll of rope from his waist and threw one end over.The horse was still struggling violently in the mud, neighing and howling, the more it struggled, the deeper it sank.The guards were afraid of falling off the horse and dared not move.Xia Shu retracted the rope and threw it again, just right near the horse's head. The guard held the rein tightly with one hand, and stretched out the other hand twice before trying to grasp the rope.

"Tie it around your waist!" Xia Shu shouted again.

"Can such a thin rope work?" Some guards objected.

"Shut up! If you have this skill, you might as well help!" Ye Sirui roared angrily.He knew that he would not be able to help in the past but would only add to the confusion, so he just watched from the sidelines.The horse's belly had sunk into the mud, and the guard's feet had already touched the mud.Ye Sirui sweated in his heart, watching him tremblingly tied the rope around his waist twice.Although the guard was nervous, he was methodical. After tying it up, he tugged on the rope to make sure it was tied firmly, and raised his hand to Xia Shu.

By this time his feet had sunk in completely, and he remained motionless.Xia Shu grabbed the rope and began to pull it out.The guard was dragged off his horse by him, and his whole body was immersed in the mud.Xia Tian stretched and retracted the rope faster and more violently, and several guards dismounted to help him, and slowly dragged the man to the dry ground like this.Xia Shu let go of the rope and breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Sirui immediately went over to hold his hand to see that there were already deep red marks on it, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. How are you?" Xia Shu unnaturally withdrew his hand and asked the guard lying on the ground.

The unlucky guy was startled and frightened, his whole body was already weak, but he still struggled to get up, and kowtowed in front of Xia Shu. "Mao Ren thanked benefactor for saving his life, dare to ask benefactor's name?"

Ye Sirui coughed lightly, and Xia Shu said: "It's a little effort, don't worry about it." Ye Sirui immediately answered: "Mao Ren, your horse sank, and we have to go to the embankment, what should you do?"

Mao Ren turned his head and looked, the horse was completely submerged.His five fingers were clenched into fists, and his facial features were grim because of grief. "Let me ride my horse." Xia Shu said.Ye Sirui immediately turned to look at him in disbelief. "No! Then what do you do!?" As soon as he refuted, Xia Shu said to Mao Ren in an unquestionable tone: "You ride my horse." His horse was not far away, with his head bowed on the ground Look for grassroots.Looking at Ye Sirui's face, Mao Min didn't know what to do for a moment.Xia Shu said: "Do I have the honor to ride with adults?"

Ye Sirui thought he was hallucinating at first, but when he found that everyone's eyes were blank, he began to think about who else in the team could be called an adult. After thinking about it, it seemed that he was the only one. Then he saw that Xia Shu had a smile in his eyes, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, Brother Tianshu, please!"

He brought the horse over.Xia Shu first stepped on the stirrup to get on the horse, but Ye Sirui didn't know what to do for a while.Xia Shu moved back to free up the stirrup, Ye Sirui stepped on it, Xia Shu stretched out his hand to support him, and Ye Sirui used his strength to sit still.The Yamen servants got their orders, and they all got on their horses.

"You reined in just now, let me hold the rein?" Ye Sirui asked.Xia Shu didn't seem to care, so he hummed.

Ye Sirui was delighted in his heart, he held the rein and told the horse to run, and said: "The road is bumpy, hold me tight so you don't fall." In fact, with Xia Shu's kung fu, how could he fall?Even if he did fall, I'm afraid it wouldn't matter, but Xia Shu still hummed, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist.Ye Sirui was already sitting next to him, but with his arms around his waist, it was like sitting in his arms.Ye Sirui suppressed his laugh and directed everyone to continue on their way.

Excluding this small episode, we will soon reach the embankment.To be exact, it was the place where the embankment used to be.Ye Sirui saw the breach and the remnants of the building, thinking about how many people were displaced because of this, he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.They found a dry place to tie their horses, and went up to take a closer look.

The ruined wall was already very fragile after being soaked by the impact of water. The guards were able to break off a piece with a little effort. We can see how they cut corners and materials and built it perfunctorily.Ye Sirui sneered, and when he punched it, most of it was broken.

"My lord!" the guards shouted in unison.Ye Sirui's knuckles were scratched and bled, but he didn't feel any pain at all.How painful are those who are homeless, have no crops, or even lost their loved ones and are suffering from diseases?

"My lord..." Someone wanted to persuade him.

"Go back! Go to Bingxian county government office!" Ye Sirui shouted hoarsely.Without saying a word, the guards quickly unmounted their horses and galloped all the way.When approaching the west gate, Ye Sirui felt something was wrong, there was a crowd of people standing outside the small city gate, all of them were dressed as county government servants, their red belts were very eye-catching.

It's really fast to believe.Ye Sirui explained a few words to the guards beside him, he galloped forward, put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and shouted: "Who is here!?"

The leader seemed to have said something to the yamen servant beside him, and the yamen servant shouted: "Kong Taiping, the magistrate of Bingxian County, came to welcome the punishment and inspect the envoy Siqian."
