Chapter 373 Impossible

The people in despair did not need any guidance. As the number of people gathered in front of the county government gradually increased, the originally rational people gradually began to have a commotion.

"You can't wait like this anymore. You must let the government give you an explanation!"

"Yes, let's rush in together and ask the county magistrate what's going on and why he hasn't distributed food."

"There are so many of us, and the government will not pursue it afterwards."

"Survey? Humph! You will starve to death sooner or later without food. At worst, you will die if you rush in! You must ask clearly why the government is untrustworthy!"

"It's right, it's nothing more than just one death, one must understand even if he dies!"

...

Seeing the excited people approaching the county government step by step, the two men standing at the end of the crowd looked at the people with a sarcastic look on their faces.

"Haha, it turns out that they are all untouchables, so they shouldn't give them any hope. In the past, when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one paid attention to their lives and death, nor did they see them making trouble in the government office. Now...hehe..."

"Yes, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are all idiots. They treat these untouchables so kindly... If they have a tough attitude, how dare these untouchables attack the government office?"

"Haha, the people of the Central Plains have always been concerned with benevolence... ridiculous benevolence..."

At this time, no one would pay attention to these two men. The people's attention was all focused on the gate of the county government. At this time, they just wanted to rush into the county government and vent their despair!

The county guards who had been keeping their minds in a vigilant manner saw the people approaching step by step, had already been unsheathed with swords and sharp arrows, and warned the angry people with words.

"What are you doing? Go back, back back!"

"Warning you again, retreat immediately, and attacking the government will be a death sentence!"

"Don't move forward, or we really want to kill someone!"

The guard's words instantly angered the people. What they are most afraid of now is death!

"I have the ability to kill me! I'll die sooner or later!"

"Yes, we have the ability to kill us. If we don't give an explanation today, we will never take a step back."

"We won't retreat, we want to find the county magistrate!"

"Let the county magistrate come out!"

"Let the county magistrate come out..."

The guard saw that the excited people had already walked up to the steps in front of the county government, and his face was at a loss, and the long sword in his hand was trembling slightly. Even though the clothes of the people who were closest to him had already touched the tip of his knife, he did not dare to really stab the knife out at all!

"Crack..."

At this moment, with a harsh sound, the gate of the county government, which was originally closed, slowly opened.

The people who were originally noisy in front of the door also had a moment of silence, but then they became noisy again.

"The door is open, the door is open!"

"I finally responded, someone came out."

"It's the county magistrate, and the middle-aged man in front of him is the county magistrate."

As the newly established county magistrate of Kucha County in the Tang Dynasty, Du Yu knew that he had a great responsibility. Just as Fang Xiang told him and other Western Regions officials when he came to the Western Regions before, he did not expect them to achieve much political achievements in this Western Region. As long as he could win the hearts of the people, it would be the greatest political achievements!

Du Yu has always kept in mind the teachings of Fang Xiang. Since taking office, he has worked diligently. Combined with the court's Western Regions policies and the powers of the county magistrates, he has tried his best to win over the hearts of the people.

Unfortunately, the days are still short, and his actions have not yet achieved any results. The sudden snow disaster has brought all his previous plans to abruptly aborted!

Just as Li Chengqian analyzed, Du Yu himself saw the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty in this disaster and the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people in the Western Regions.

It was precisely because he saw the opportunity that when Du Yu gathered in front of the county government because of rumors, he did not directly deny the rumors, but just appeased the people ambiguously. Because when he thought, the court would definitely think that the materials used for disaster relief would be distributed in no time.

As he expected, the court, or the crown prince of the Western Regions, now the highest official, Li Chengqian, quickly issued an order to provide full efforts to provide disaster relief. During this period, he had been busy with disaster relief, and had not even had a stable sleep for nearly half a month. Seeing that everything was about to be arranged, he did not expect to suddenly receive news that the people were attacking the government office.

Standing on the steps in front of the mansion, Du Yu glanced at the people gathered in front of the door. The expression of despair and expectation on their faces at this moment was so similar to those of the people in the Central Plains who were affected by the disaster when they were officials in the Central Plains?

As the Crown Prince said, although the people in the Western Regions may have different appearances from those in the Central Plains, they are essentially the same.

After being slightly stunned, Du Yu shouted loudly to the people: "My fellow villagers, please be quiet, quiet!"

"I know that everyone is here because of the government's disaster relief. I'm sorry that I have not been able to give you an accurate reply for so long. This is my mistake." Speaking of this, Du Yu bowed slightly to the people and apologized.

This performance surprised the people present. In their image, the officials were arrogant and disdainful to them, ordinary people. When did they see officials bowing to ordinary people?

Du Yu didn't know what the people were thinking and continued: "A few days ago, I have received the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help the people who are in trouble in the snow disaster! I have been busy preparing for disaster relief these days, so I have not been able to tell everyone about this matter in time... Since they are people of the Tang Dynasty, the government will not abandon anyone... Your Majesty's benevolence... Your Majesty's benevolence..."

Mu He didn't know if he really didn't understand what Du Yu meant, or could not believe what Du Yu said, and asked Gobaer beside him, "What does the county magistrate mean?"

"The government will really give us food..."

Mu He was stunned, then looked at Du Yu who was close to him with excitement on his face, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "When will the food start to be distributed?"

Du Yu, who was originally talking endlessly instilling "Chicken Soup for the Heart" into the people was stunned for a moment. He only focused on promoting the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty, but ignored the news that the people were most eager to know at this moment. Then he smiled at Mu He and said, "I am negligent... As soon as tomorrow, the food will arrive here two days later. As soon as the food arrives, it will start to be distributed to everyone for free!"

When people who have experienced hope and despair heard Du Yu's words, their first reaction was not to be excited or excited, but to doubt whether Du Yu's words were true.

However, the two men standing at the end of the crowd looked at Du Yu with shock, and then laughed unscrupulously: "Hahaha... it's ridiculous, ridiculous! They always say kindness, but they deceived me here! Do you really think I'm a fool? Now no one knows that the road connecting the Tang Dynasty has long been blocked by heavy snow, and it's impossible for food to be transported here..."

The crowd was stirred up again because of this voice. They all heard about the interruption of the road, because many caravans were trapped in the city due to the interruption of the road, and many caravans who had planned to come here were not here for a long time.

Du Yu looked at the person who made a sound, and gestured to a man beside him without a trace. The other party nodded slightly, and then left quietly.
