Chapter 538(1/2)
"The victims who entered the city... surrounded the Governor's Mansion!"
"The Governor ordered you to go and rescue him immediately!"
The words of the yamen runners made Kang Xunbai, who was in heartache, subconsciously raise his head.
The victims besieged the Governor's Mansion... He understood in an instant.
——Since the locust plague, many victims have gathered towards major cities.
Because there is no hope in the villages and other places that have lost their ability to resist, and in the city, they can still beg for a beggar and find a way out.
As the prefecture city of Yuzhou, Yuzhou has the largest number of victims coming! For several days, the number of victims in the city cannot be ignored. Most of them are in hunger and despair. However, Kang Xunbai has advocated opening warehouses for disaster relief several times, but he was rejected by Governor Meng Changqing... The victims besieged the Governor's Office, which is a big deal. Moreover, if civil rebellion is also caused in Yuzhou City, it will be over! At that time, the people of the entire Yuzhou will be crazy, the world will be in chaos, and they will become eternal sinners! Kang Xunbai, who was just in despair, had to force himself to cheer up, stand up, and say, "Take me to see!"
"In addition, call all the yamen runners in the city!"
He spoke anxiously.
"yes!"
The yamen runner spoke.
Soon, almost all the manpower that can be used in the major officials in Zhili Prefecture had been gathered, but at this moment there were only a few dozen people left! - Most of them had been sent to various places for support! "Mr. Kang, what should I do? Those victims besieged the Governor's Office, and I'm afraid something big will happen..." Yang Yuanzheng, the head of the Household Registration Department, spoke anxiously.
"Yes, the city is not strong enough now, so I'm afraid I have to use the state guardian's side..." Lin Tian, the Si Cheng of the Yanti Department, also looked worried! The officials of each department were very nervous.
"Now, only after going to the Governor's Office will you know that you must not use the State Guardian until the end!"
Kang Xunbai spoke solemnly and said, "Let's go!"
He immediately took a group of officials and yamen runners from Zhili Prefecture to head towards the Governor's Office.
Soon, they had approached the Governor's Mansion, but they could not get close to them, so they could only be on the periphery! The Governor's Mansion is located in the center of the entire Yuzhou City, the best area with developed transportation on all sides. However, on the street, in front of the Governor's Mansion, there were already no waters of disaster victims! At first glance, there were thousands of people in the dark!
And at this moment, they were roaring! "Dog official Meng Changqing, killing people!"
"We want justice!"
"Dog official, get out!!"
Countless people cursed, angry, and excited! "Why are there so many people!"
"God, just by our little ones, we can't even make a splash!"
"My Lord Kang, in my opinion, it's better to transfer the state to protect the palace..." Many Si Chengs, seeing this scene, were all weak! Kang Xun's face turned pale, these people were already on the verge of explosion! They might explode at any time! He took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Let me clear the way, let me pass!"
The yamen runners next to them worked hard to push the crowd away! "Mr. Kang Xunbai, Zhili, Yuzhou, is here, everyone let me go!"
"Everyone let it go!"
The yamen runners shouted and pushed a road away with force. Kang Xunbai and other officials finally squeezed out of the crowd and arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion.
The gate of the Governor's Office was closed! Kang Xunbai and others turned around and saw angry people staring at themselves and others with gritted teeth. All the officials looked pale! "He is Zhili, Yuzhou, and Meng Changqing's lackey!"
"Meng Changqing dared not come out, what's the use of letting him come?
!”
"No matter who comes, we need justice!"
The people roared and stared at Kang Xunbai.
Kang Xunbai felt a great pressure at this moment. He understood that his lives and others were already hanging on the line. Similarly, the safety of the entire Yuzhou City and even the safety of Daxi were also hanging on the line! He took a deep breath and said, "Listen to me!"
"The disaster is urgent now. I understand and understand everyone's mood, but doing so is useless. We have done our best to fight against the disaster and support the states..." He tried his best to convince.
"fraud!"
"fraud!"
"A dog thief full of lies!"
However, before he finished speaking, the angry people scolded him! The crowd was excited! Among the people, a big man stood up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever he said is to fight against disasters and support with all his strength is a lie!"
"Meng Changqing clearly spends time and drinks all day long!"
The man gritted his teeth on the corner of his mouth, pointed to a woman holding a baby in front of the crowd, and said, "He killed this child because her mother wanted to beg for some food!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Xunbai's whole body was shocked in an instant. He turned his head to the yamen runner next to him and said, "What's going on?"
!”
The yamen runner who was informing him looked ugly and said, "This woman was crazy. She smelled the smell of wine and meat from the Governor's Mansion. She actually rushed into the Governor's Mansion with her child in her arms, trying to steal food. She was driven out by the people in the mansion. The baby in her arms was also thrown to death..." Hearing this, Kang Xunbai felt a dizzy moment! Oh my God! He felt very sad and angry in his heart, and he understood everything.
These people have been in the city for so many days, and although they have been enduring hunger, there is no sign of riot! It is this incident, the death of this baby ignited the anger contained in the hearts of the people! "How can they bear it, how can they bear it..." He murmured, looking at the woman and the mother woodenly! She knelt in front of the crowd, her expression seemed to have solidified, and the tears had dried up. She held the baby's body, like a sculpture... "Kang Xunbai, get out of here, because you are still concerned about the disaster, we don't want to cause trouble for you today!"
The big man roared! Countless words erupted with the big man: "Get out, get out!"
The crowd was in full swing! Kang Xunbai looked at the hungry but so angry faces and saw the baby's body.
He suddenly turned around.
Turning around resolutely.
He walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Then, he clenched his fists, punched and hit the Zhuqi door heavily! "Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
His voice contained a huge anger! Seeing this scene, everyone around him was surprised for a moment! "What is Lord Kang doing?"
"Is he crazy?
At this time, let the Governor's Office open, Lord Meng will be unsafe!"
"Sir Kang, stop!"
Many of the surrounding officials spoke quickly! Now, there is still a door as a protection. If the door is opened, the consequences of these angry people rush in will be unimaginable! But Kang Xunbai is like a crazy lion, punching one by one, and punching another! His hands are almost bleeding! His jealousy is red and angry! He is as if he wants to use his fists to punch a hole in this sky and the earth! For the sake of those displaced people;
An An starving murderer who starved to death by his relatives; for the child who was eaten half of the person in Wangchuan County; for the baby who died in his mother's arms at this moment! Even the angry people were surprised at this moment, silent, and looked at Kang Xunbai strangely... Finally, his hammer seemed to have a effect. The door creaked open, and a head was revealed in it, which was from the housekeeper of Meng Changqing. He had an angry look on his face and said, "Mr. Kang, what are you doing?
!”
"Why are these troublemakers still here?"
He was questioning! Kang Xunbai slapped him hard in the face! Fang Yun was slapped and fell to the ground. Kang Xunbai pushed him hard and the door opened.
From here, Kang Xunbai saw the scene in the hall of the Governor's Mansion: the cups and plates were in a mess, and the wine and meat were everywhere. One by one, the drunk Confucian scholars and famous scholars were unaware of the changes outside. The smell of meat and wine came to his nose... Kang Xunbai's heart suddenly thrust! He was about to walk forward step by step! The people in the rear were also following step by step! The yamen runners in Zhili Palace could not stop them at all, and they dared not stop them! "Oh no, stop him!"
"Close the door quickly!"
"Close the door!"
At the Governor's Mansion, a group of servants shouted.
They poured out.
The movement here seemed to alarm everyone who was eating the banquet. Meng Changqing, wearing a luxurious Confucian robe, walked out with a group of Confucian scholars in the hall.
"Kang Xunbai, are you crazy?
!”
Meng Changqing's face turned red with the feeling of alcohol, and she was even more angry at this moment: "I asked you to drive away these troublemakers, not to let you open the door for me!"
"What happened, can you afford the consequences?"
He roared angrily.
Kang Xunbai looked at Meng Changqing, but his whole body was so indifferent at this moment, like a rock! "Supervisor Wang Zheng!"
He shouted loudly.
A young official behind him said, "Wang Zheng is here!"
Kang Xunbai gritted his teeth and said, "Meng Changqing, the governor of Yuzhou, is suspected of dereliction of duty and killing a baby in public. What should we do if we deal with it?
!”
Wang Zheng's face also had blue veins bulging, saying, "You should be dismissed immediately, find out the case, and then handed over to the Supervisory Council for criminal sentence!"
“What are you waiting for?
Take it!"
Kang Xunbai roared! Wang Zheng stepped forward and said, "Meng Changqing, I will arrest you with the power of the Supervisor Secretary!"
He spoke righteously and fearlessly!—He was the person chosen by Li Fan! Seeing this scene, Meng Changqing was also stunned for a moment, but then he said angrily: "Are you crazy?"
"Just you, you deserve it?
Do you dare to say such words to me?"
"Come here, take Wang Zheng and Kang Xunbai, and I will remove them from their post!"
He shouted! The yamen runners around him were in a panic and dared not move.
However, the guards of the Governor's Office stepped forward instantly and drew their swords to the necks of Kang Xunbai and Wang Zheng! However, this scene stimulated the people who followed in! "Dog official, you still dare to be arrogant!"
"Meng Changqing, you dog official!"
Countless people rushed in anger! "Close the door and kill the rebels!"
Meng Changqing hurriedly shouted! The guards on both sides stepped forward with swords. At this moment, they cut over several people rushing in front of them, hurriedly closed the door and put down the gate! The sound of knocking on the door outside sounded like a drum beat! Kang Xunbai saw the seven or eight people who were killed and injured, and said angrily: "Meng Changqing, you still dare to kill someone!"
