In the dark and cold cell, Lu Weiyuan was lying on the ground looking for the rat he had just seen. He had not eaten for five days. It was not that he didn't want to eat, but that he had nothing to eat. Now he felt what hunger is.

Although there was no food, there was enough water. Lu Weiyuan's belly was already bulging high like a toad. As his movements, the sound of water kept ringing. As long as he felt hungry, he would go to drink water.

Hunger torture is no less than a torture. At the beginning, Lu Weiyuan felt that it was nothing and he could still hold on, but slowly he was tortured by the rumbling sound of his stomach. Out of helplessness, he could only smile on his face at the prison guard who never looked at him, and longed for a bowl of rice porridge.

Unfortunately, the prison guard completely ignored his existence and carried out the wooden barrel containing rice porridge, not even letting him smell it.

Liu Yong was very smart. This prisoner was originally a yamen runner in Zhending Mansion. His mother died in this snow disaster because she wanted to go out to buy food. However, she never thought that she would be frozen to death on the street because Changping warehouse did not release food in time, and there were many people who were starved to death.

How could such a prison guard give Lu Weiyuan some food? Liu Yong explained that as long as Lu Weiyuan is not dead, it doesn't matter if he is hungry for a few days, so he can also feel the hunger of the people.

So such a ridiculous scene occurred in the cell. Lu Weiyuan stuck out his butt and caught a mouse on the ground like a toad. Unfortunately, he was so hungry that he was dizzy and smooth, and he was no match for a flexible mouse at all. He was escaped by the mouse several times.

Seeing other prisoners eating porridge voraciously, Lu Weiyuan kept swallowing, and at this time he hoped that he could have a sumptuous dinner.

It was snowy outside, and the prison cell was even more uncomfortable. The cold and cold breath kept stimulating Lu Weiyuan's body. The snow did not turn cold and the snow was cold. The melting of the snow continued to take away the heat, making the already cold and cold house turn into an ice hell.

The dirty and smelly rag was tightly tied to Lu Weiyuan. Thinking of his past, he cried with regret.

Liu Yong looked at the poor man standing on the verge of despair and sighed slightly, took out a roast chicken from the cage and walked towards Lu Weiyuan.

An indescribable scent awakened Lu Weiyuan. He was exhausted for a long time and said without even opening his eyes: "Please give me some food... I'll give me some food because I was the official of my parents!"

The greasy thing was placed in his hand. Lu Weiyuan looked down and saw a roast chicken with a rosy and fragrant rosy color!

Like a hungry dog, Lu Weiyuan whimpered from time to time.

Liu Yong could not help but say, "If I had known this day, why should I have been there? Lu Weiyuan, you came from the truth. I will report to the official family to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions. The original grain official and the yamen runner have confessed, and it was you who opened the Changping Warehouse in person."

"Liu Yong, you are a gentleman. This time, you were sent by the government to Hebei West Road. Can you tell me about my crimes have the opportunity to be merciful? Don't forget that whoever touches and dies when you often close the warehouse. The government has had a sage in the previous disaster relief!"

Liu Yong was surprised: "Don't you think about your family?"

Lu Weiyuan sneered: "Family? If I recruit everything, they will still be unable to escape death. Even if the official lets them go, some people will not. If I don't recruit, I will die alone. If you were me, would you? "

Liu Yong said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your family. Do you want to be a traitor who has been infatuated for thousands of years or a loyal minister who has turned back to the prodigal son?"

Lu Weiyuan did not answer his words, but instead said earnestly: "Liu Zhuangyuan, although you are not young, you have just entered the officialdom. Over time, you will find that some things are not something you can do. People cannot help themselves in the court! The court is just a big dye vat, and no one can go out if they are not contaminated. In the early years, it was better to turn a blind eye to the late emperor. Although the current official family is in the name of kindness, they cannot tolerate any sand in their eyes!"

Liu Yong laughed at Lu Weiyuan's strange theory: "It's hard to understand that you forgot Mr. Ding? Is he doing it clean? And does the official use him? The position of the three officials is not good at doing it? The official employs people only depends on his talents, and the official will pay attention to his morality. As long as you are useful, you may not have to die. This is the last bottom line given by the official!"

Liu Yong's words immediately made Lu Weiyuan see the vitality. How many people can truly give up the prosperity of time? How many people can truly face death calmly? Anyway, Lu Weiyuan does not have this courage.

The emergence of a glimmer of vitality became the last straw that completely crushed him. He stood up tremblingly and said, "I... no, can the criminals still receive pardon from the official?"

Liu Yong nodded slightly: "Yes! The official family has an order. As long as you, Lu Weiyuan, you will be spared and sent to Zhengzhou Guancheng to work, and you will not confiscate your property!"

Lu Weiyuan changed his attitude instantly and explained everything without hesitation: "Actually everything is caused by the stored grains of Changping! This year, somehow, the heavy snow came much earlier than in the past. The Liao people were probably too short to buy grains in China, and the output of Yanyun land was not enough. So the Liao people took the attention of the Song Dynasty. Sun Mian, the transfer of Hebei West Road, had an affair with the Liao people, and privately sold the stored grains of Changpingping to the Liao people! It was originally believed that the snow disaster had not had a great impact on Hebei West Road, but who knew that this year's strange cold was exposed. Otherwise, when the spring was over, they would buy grains at a low price to fill Changpingping out the warehouses without knowing it..."

Lu Weiyuan's words made Liu Yong tremble all over. Unexpectedly, there was such a beast who was scrambling to make a fortune in the country. Moreover, this beast was a dignified senior official and a lucky messenger!

Hate, anger, anger, pitiful, several emotions intertwined, Liu Yong sighed long: "Has my Song Dynasty really arrived in a place of danger?"

Lu Weiyuan sneered: "What do you know? It's like a damn danger? Do you know what the consequences would be if this batch of food cannot be delivered to the Liao people on time? Although the whole country will not be attacked, how many people will die in the entire Hebei Road this winter?

The threshing grass of the Liao people is not just about robbing food, and even the elderly, weak, women and children will not let go! How many villages will be destroyed, and how many innocent people will die under the butcher knife of the Khitans!”

Liu Yong frowned and said, "Can the border army not resist and watch the Liao people rage in our Great Song Dynasty?"

"Resist? How to resist? The land in Hebei is vast and flat. Can it be placed in the east and west? The Liao people sent elite cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they can reach the border of our Song Dynasty from Feihu Ridge in half a day, avoiding the city and seizing the villages. What kind of scene will it look like at that time?"

Liu Yong was speechless for a moment: "Does the Liao Dynasty not only need to support them when it was affected by the disaster in the Song Dynasty, but also need to support them with the food that was originally intended to provide disaster relief to the people?!"
