Chapter 57

After listening to the villagers' stories, Ye Xuan left some money and prepared to continue his journey.

In the evening, I arrived at Yuelu County City.

Yuelu County is the county seat of Yuelu County, Eastern Lu Prefecture.

The closer you are to Yuelu County, the more disaster victims there are, and even people who faint and do not know their lives or death are on the roadside.

Ye Xuan did not carry food, and there were too many victims, so he could not save him alone.

The disaster is so serious that I have not seen any government relief measures along the way, which is really confusing.

Ye Xuan came to the gate of Yuelu County and saw a large group of disaster victims surrounded there outside the gate.

Ye Xuan thought to himself that it must be the government serving porridge.

I just rode my horse over and saw it, and it was a shed built by a team of warriors.

The shed was full of food, and bags were piled higher than people.

A warrior wearing sect costume, sitting behind a long table with a golden sword, looking at the victims surrounding him indifferently

"Sir, be fine, give the younger one some rice and grain." A victim begged.

"If you sell the fields to me, you will have rice and food. If you don't have fields, you will get away!" The disciple of the Shadao Sect kicked the victim away and cursed impatiently.

The victim got up again and knelt in front of the disciples of the Shadao Sect, kowtowed and begged, "Sir, you can do it. All our worlds are sold to the Shadao Sect, and the whole family has also sold them to the Shadao Sect. Please give me some food. The child hasn't eaten a grain of rice for half a month..."

"The fields have been sold out, and I still want rice? Get out of here!" The disciple of the Shadao Sect cursed impatiently.

"But our whole family has sold our bodies to the Shadao Sect. We will definitely farm for the master in the coming year... Please..." the victim begged.

"Why are you afraid that there is no one to plant a farm when you have land? Get out of here before I take action!" The disciple of the Shadao Sect scolded.

After cursing, he looked up at the victims and shouted loudly: "Are there anyone who exchanged fields for rice and grain? If you have them, come quickly. If you don't have an old man, I'll go drink!"

Just then.

A howl came from the victims: "Gou Ba! Gou Ba... the head of the house, the child is fainting from hunger, please think of a solution..."

The man in this family looked at the hungry child and struggled to walk towards the shed of the Shadao Gate. He took out a land deed from his arms, and handed it to the Shadao Gate disciple with his hands tremblingly.

"Sir, please exchange me some food."

The disciple of the Shadao Sect took a look, then put away the land deed, then threw out a body deed, and said, "Put the handprint."

The man looked at the contract for sale and gritted his teeth and pressed his handprints on it.

"Get rice." The disciple of the Shadao Sect waved back.

The subordinates of the Shadaomen brought up a dou of rice and put it on the ground.

Rice is measured in wooden barrels, one bucket is a bucket, about twelve kilograms.

When the man saw the rice, he quickly took out the sack and prepared to put it on and fill it with the rice.

The disciple of the Shadao Sect suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, your field is too thin and not worth a bucket." As he said that, he kicked the wooden barrel.

The wooden barrel was kicked, and with a wave left and right, half a small rice spilled out of the barrel.

This is a common method for officials to seize food, called kicking and fighting.

Half of it can be spilled out with one foot.

The man rushed up and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, my family's fields are all fat! How could it be thin?"

"Put the rice and get out of here! I say that being thin means being thin!" The disciple of the Shadao Sect scolded impatiently.

Ye Xuan saw this scene and had a great experience.

I never visited the fields at all, just said it was a thin field. One foot down, one bucket turned into half a bucket.

It was already harsh enough to buy ten acres of land with a dou of rice, but it was even deducted from the rice.

What's even more amazing is that the Shadaomen asked these victims to sign a contract to sell their bodies and farm, but they didn't care about the lives and deaths of these victims who sold themselves as slaves.

Not only that, the crazy behavior of occupying land by the Shadao Gate was carried out in front of the gate of Yuelu County.

The soldiers guarding the city at the city gate didn't care at all.

Not only that, the county city is not allowed to enter, and any disaster victims who want to enter the city are beaten out by soldiers guarding the city.

Ye Xuan had a conflict with the Shadao Sect half a year ago and even killed the young master of the Shadao Sect named Qiliancheng.

Don’t do it, don’t stop.

Ye Xuan squeezed away the crowd and walked over and stood in front of the disciples of the Shadao Sect.

The Shadao Sect disciple glanced at Ye Xuan and saw that Ye Xuan was not like a disaster victim, so he drove him away and said, "What are you looking at? Don't be uncomfortable, otherwise you will have a good look!"

"I want to change some food, can I?" Ye Xuan asked with a calm expression.

The disciple of the Shadao Sect replied: "Okay! Take out how much land there is."

“No field.”

"If you don't have any land, you dare to come and have fun? Do you want to die?" The disciple of the Shadao Sect immediately scolded.

Ye Xuan slapped the dragon-bian steel sword on the table and asked, "Use this sword for exchange!"

The disciple of the Shadao Sect glanced at the Dragon-patterned Steel Sword. From the hilt, he knew that the sword must be of great value.

He reached out and pulled out the dragon-ben steel sword to check: "This sword...this sword!"

His eyes suddenly widened and he recognized that the sword was the one used by Qi Liancheng, the young master of the Shadao Sect: "You! You you..."

"How many meters can this sword be exchanged for?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

The Shadao Sect disciple immediately took a step back and shouted loudly: "Come on, take him down!"

As soon as the shout fell, four disciples of the Shadao Sect immediately pulled out their swords and rushed forward, slashing at Ye Xuan in front of him.

These Shadao disciples who were sent to bully the people had their cultivation levels that were too low to be admired.

Ye Xuan moved his finger and ignited the internal organs of the four people.

Four disciples of the Shadao Sect died suddenly.

"Murdered! Killed!" The victims around him immediately screamed in horror.

Ye Xuan immediately shouted: "Snatch the food quickly! After grabbing it, run away!"

All the victims around were stunned for a moment, then rushed to the grain bags in the shed, carried them and ran away.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately rushed up and scolded him when they saw a riot.

But they could not control these hungry victims. The food in the shed was stolen in the blink of an eye, and no one left was left.

Ye Xuan also took advantage of the chaos to quit the crowd and enter Yuelu County City.

...

There are two worlds inside and outside Yuelu County. Outside the city, there are starving people everywhere, but there is no disaster victim in the city.

I thought about it with my toes that the reason why there were no victims in the city was not that the administration here was clear and clear, but that all the victims were driven out.

After Ye Xuan entered the city, he went straight to the government and beat the drum to ask why the county magistrate did not provide disaster relief.

However, he was driven out by the officer before he saw the county magistrate.

"Get out! Get out of here! There are no food in the official warehouse. There are too many gossips like you, so you come to the yamen every day! Let me tell you, you will be lucky now. When our Leng Shen arrester comes back, I will take you to jail, and you will feel better!" The servant drove Ye Xuan out of the yamen and cursed with contempt.
