What's the matter, her son's good future has been ruined like this, how can she not be angry?

20. The county master is incompetent...

Du Shi has a grievance in her heart, but even if she has a big grievance, she can't tell anyone, why?

Because the incident that led to Su Feng's resignation involved not only Su Feng, all the officials who were ordered to participate in that incident at that time were all involved, and without exception, they were all sent back to their hometowns.

The immoral things are done by the county lords, but the ones who bear the responsibility are their subordinates. This has always been an unwritten rule in the officialdom.

When Su Feng and a few brothers resigned from the county captain's mansion in the county, the county captain gave thousands of instructions, and none of them could tell the truth about that matter, including their family members.

The county lieutenant is a good person, the boss most respected by Su Feng and other buddies, even if they are dissatisfied with the county master, they will not disobey the chief officer they have always respected, so Su Feng and others immediately I swore that this matter would be absolutely confidential.

But Su Feng, who was doing a good job in the county, suddenly took a sum of money and went home. According to Du's temperament of breaking the casserole and asking the end, how could he ignore it?Su Feng was appreciated by the county lieutenant for his good hunting skills and strength, so he joined the county patrol team. It was originally Guangzong Yaozu's job, but he was suddenly fired. This must be Du's concern.

If you can't get it out of the question once, then ask twice, and if you can't do it twice, you can ask three times. In the end, Su Feng was tortured to the point where he couldn't help it, so he told Du Shi and Wu Shi privately about the ins and outs of his lost job.

This matter begins with Sima Miao, the famous general of the Shu Kingdom, who came to Changle County for inspection. At that time, there was a large area of ​​drought in Shu, and there was no grain harvest. stand.

What was the situation in Changle County at that time?Su Feng only felt that the word "Changle" in Changle County alone was the biggest irony!

In the first year of the drought, it was easy to say, because most of the victims still had some food left over from previous years.

People in Shengdou don't always have a long-term vision, they only see the present, they don't think about the future at all, and the vast majority of people have chances, but they don't know, maybe, chances will kill people.

The victims thought that the drought would always pass. Even if God sent natural disasters and man-made disasters to innocent people to punish the rulers, God will not always treat them like this, and the drought will pass sooner or later!They are the most loyal believers!

They have always believed in "God", and every year and festival, they would also offer chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the yard. They were very devout and sincerely prayed for a year's harvest.

Therefore, the God they believe in will not treat them so cruelly!

They firmly believe that next year will be blessed by heaven, and there will be plenty of rain at that time, so it will be a bumper harvest year!

But soon, their last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Because they waited for a year, two years, three years, nothing, the drought is still there, and it has not disappeared because of their prayers.

They couldn't wait any longer, and they didn't have the strength to wait any longer. Seeing that years of drought wiped out the last morsel of food, they cried out that every day should not work, and the land would not work.

They shouted the so-called "God" they believed in, why did they treat them like this?There was resentment in their hearts, but they still prayed devoutly day after day.

What responded to them was not the rain from the sky, but the poisonous sun that became more poisonous day by day, and the deepening cracks on the river bed. Once the wind blows, the sky will be full of yellow sand.

Representatives of the villages in Changle County went to the county to jointly petition for orders, and asked the county lord to open a warehouse to release grain, but what he got was the most official reply from the county. : "Our county lord said, there is no order from above, I dare not open a warehouse, and it is not easy for him to open a warehouse without authorization. You all go back."

Su Feng remembered that as soon as he came out of the county yamen, he saw the skinny bodies, the faces that were full of hope but were instantly disappointed, and the pairs that were tortured by hunger. He swept across the sunken eyes one by one, and finally settled on an old man with a hunched back.

The old man stood up tremblingly, and knelt down at Su Feng's feet with a "plop". His face was dry and wrinkled like bark, and his bloodshot eyes were staring at him. The old man His flesh and blood body looks thin but extremely explosive, because his fingers are tightly holding Su Feng's leg.

"Officer, please, please go talk to the county magistrate and tell him to reward us with some food. My daughter-in-law has just confinement, if there is no food, both her mother and son will die! I beg the magistrate !"

After the old man finished speaking, he bowed his head fiercely, and the blood splashed on Su Feng's feet, which was shocking.

Su Feng opened his mouth, turned around and walked into the yamen without saying a word. He was going to meet the county master. Only one bag!

No, not even half a bag!That's enough for the old man's daughter-in-law to confine her!

He was "confused", but Yu De, a good brother who worked with him, could see that he was not confused. Yu De grabbed him and snapped: "Don't die? What are you doing!"

"Me! I'm going to see the county magistrate!" Su Feng made all preparations, his eyes determined.

"What do you want to do with the county magistrate? Are you overthinking yourself!" After Yu De scolded his good brother Su Feng, he looked around and found that there was no one nearby who dragged Su Feng to a remote house, and whispered: " There is no more food in our warehouse!"

"What? Not anymore? Why not?" Su Feng's eyes widened.

"Oh, my dear brother, please keep your voice down, in case others won't hear you, right? I've heard that the grain in our warehouse was exchanged for silver by our county lord early in the morning, and all of it was given to those in the palace. Manager Ma Youcheng, even if you go, it won’t help the matter, you might as well just do one more thing than one less thing, and just pretend you didn’t see anything.”

"But brother Yu De, they will all starve to death." Su Feng's voice was very soft, as if he was suppressing something.

"Many people starve to death these days, can you save them one by one?"

Hearing Yu De's words, Su Feng fell silent. He felt a little dizzy in his eyes, and had a splitting headache and almost couldn't stand up. A handsome man, a man of seven feet, suddenly burst into tears.The buddies in the yamen all know that Su Feng is a strong character. Even if he was chopped off by the thief when he was catching the thief, he didn't see him say a word. The victims who didn't know each other didn't cry like "men".

I don't know how the news got out. The victims became desperate after they knew that there was no food in the warehouse.

The people were displaced and began to change their families for food. The streets were deserted like a dead city, and the tributary of the Huaihe River that passed through Changle County, on the dry riverbed, did not know who started to put the bodies of their families on the dry river bed. After arriving there, gradually, the nearby people followed suit, and soon, the riverbed was full of corpses, especially in summer, the corpses rotted quickly in the high temperature, and they were already stinking.

No one went to claim it, and people were thrown there when they starved to death. The Yangyang River that used to irrigate the farmland has become a natural mass grave.

Occasionally, I can see a few people wandering on the street. They are alive like walking dead, looking everywhere for any edible things that the naked eye can see, even dead bark, dry grass roots, or even from holes. If you are lucky enough to dig out the dead mice, you may be able to find a little bit of food that the mice hid.

When the news of General Sima Miao's arrival reached the county, the county lord immediately rectified the county. The county lord, who had been hiding in the yamen without leaving the gate, unexpectedly brought people When he arrived at the river, he immediately ordered that all the corpses in the river be burned.He dug out the last warehouse of rice from the county warehouse and distributed it to the surviving victims. Each household can get half a bucket, but the premise is that they need to cooperate with the work of the county, that is, when General Sima arrives At that time, they all pretended to be well-fed and well-fed, and greeted them happily!

The victims agreed, and they were forced to agree because of the food they could eat for seven or eight days.

But the victims of the disaster have been starving for a long time, and the death of the closest people around them has already stimulated the last string in their hearts. The impact of life and death is huge. , but was forced to the edge of the cliff, a devil who did not hesitate to die.

I don't know who yelled first: "General, Changle County has already suffered from severe drought, starvation is everywhere, and the county magistrate is incompetent and unable to take charge. My family members are going to die!"

"I beg the general to be the master, I beg the general to upload the emperor, save us!"

"General, you go to my house and have a look, my old lady is so hungry that only bones are left, General!"

"General, my son said that he wants to join the army as a hero with you, but now he is starving to death!"

Everyone spoke to each other, and the scene was already out of control. Sima Miao looked at the county magistrate coldly, and his eyes widened in anger: "What's going on? This is what you said that the victims have been properly resettled?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he immediately knelt down: "General Rong Rong, this officer is indeed
