"What do you mean, people have already starved to death in Jiangyang, and more than 3,000 people have starved to death. How could such a thing happen, especially in this area under my control?" Although Shen Feng already had physical and psychological problems, Prepared, but now that he learned the news for the first time, he was still very surprised, because in his mind, this situation was basically impossible to happen.
The place where Shen Feng made his fortune was actually called Luzhou, and later changed its name to Jiangyang. This was also to reduce the influence of other places. By changing the name of a city, he declared that he had an ownership over this city. For such a place Shen Feng was still very emotional, so even after he left the city, he would always take care of the people in the city so that the people here could live a good life.
And in order to be able to manage this city conveniently, Shen Feng also specially sent his closest subordinate, namely Li Xiang, to manage here. He is not only Shen Feng's right-hand man, but also a person with super powers. With such a person in charge, things will become much simpler.
But now Shen Feng actually learned that there was a famine in the place where he once made his fortune. Isn't this just a slap in his face? He obviously thought that he had produced enough food, which could at least guarantee the safety of his people. He had no worries about food and clothing, but at this moment, he realized that he seemed to be too naive.
"What is going on? Tell me quickly!" Shen Feng immediately wanted to know the real reason for the famine.
To Shen Feng, the 3,000 people who starved to death were actually nothing, but the impact it brought was very bad, because as a result, people in other places would doubt his ability as the city lord, because everyone under his command If we are going to starve to death, how can we feed people in other areas?
Especially because now, Shen Feng is still the master of China, which makes his status even more outstanding. Since he is already in a high position, no matter whether he has excellent performance or particularly poor performance, he will be looked down upon by people. In his eyes, and then remembered in his heart, he will always talk about it in the future.
"I haven't told other people about this matter yet, because I know that the impact of this matter is very bad, and if I tell other people, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so now I have been keeping it a secret. Now that it has been When I get in front of the city lord, I will tell the truth!" Xu Xing said quickly.
"You have done a very good job in this matter. If it is something with such a huge impact, do not tell other people casually, because it may cause other people to be unhappy, or let these people attack us. If we can internally If you want to handle it, then handle it yourself!" Shen Feng already had a bad feeling now, so he felt that if the people under him made mistakes, even if they had to be punished, they should not be punished in public in the end.
After Xu Xing heard this, she said: "If you want to deal with this matter internally, I think it will be very difficult, because this matter has spread among the people. If this matter is not dealt with in public, , public anger is hard to offend, the people below will think that you, the city lord, are unfair and will protect the people under you, but fail to consider the needs of the broad masses of the people."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Just tell me what the situation is. Only when I know the accurate situation can I proceed with the next step!" Shen Feng said.
"The thing is actually very simple. It starts with me three days ago. At that time, I went there to take a rest because my mother built a tomb for my father there and I need to go there every year. To worship him, she was too lazy to go this year and asked me to go to worship him, so I went there, partly to pay homage to my dead father, and partly to give me a rest, because before I I have been running around all over the world, and my body is already tired, so I want to take a rest for half a month..."
Next, Xu Xing recounted her experience of going to Jiangyang. After telling this experience, Shen Feng listened carefully because he wanted to know what happened in Jiangyang. Things, especially why there is a large-scale famine, it is easy to say that there is a famine in other places. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not that easy to transfer food, but
Jiangyang is actually only half a day's journey from Yuzhou. It is not difficult to transport food, but a famine occurred right under our noses. I have to say that there is something very strange in this.
It turns out that when Xu Xing went to Jiangyang, she was already thinking about her next action. First, she would return to her home, take a rest, prepare the items that needed to be worshiped, and then go to her father's grave to put incense and burn paper. That's all. When she disguised herself and returned to her hometown, she suddenly found that the city and outside had become desolate.
What was once a relatively prosperous city has now become a bit dilapidated, and there are many people walking on many streets like zombies, looking listless, as if they are the living dead.
After Xu Xing discovered this situation, she hurriedly found the people around her and asked what happened. However, she could only learn one thing from their mouths, that is, the famine had come and they had been suffering for several days. Without food, even if they work hard, they can't support themselves. Instead, they are in many hotels and other entertainment venues, where they are feasting and feasting every day. Many young people have left here and are looking for other places. food.
Some old and weak people cannot leave, so they can only stay in the city and wait for hunger to come.
"City Lord Li is so cruel. We all thought he would provide relief, but we didn't expect that he would hold the food in his hands tightly and would not hand it over. If we need to work in exchange for food, everyone will Hard-working people will choose to work, but he neither sets up positions nor allows the people under him to have food. He just holds the food in his hands and squeezes people constantly, and the people under him are already exhausted. I really can’t live anymore.” An old man answered Xu Xing’s question. It turned out that they all felt that they could no longer live, so they were in despair about the future.
Xu Xing was very confused about the occurrence of this situation, because it was obvious that Yuzhou often dispatched food to Jiangyang just to worry about the possibility of food shortage in Jiangyang. However, after dispatching food many times, there was still no food here. The same lack of food even caused many people to starve to death, which is very strange.
After learning about this situation, Xu Xing had already thought about her mission immediately. Originally, she needed to visit her father's grave, but now that she saw this situation, she had to manage it, so now
We can only start investigating this matter, and the granary has become the most important place, because all the transferred grain has been sent here.
"Originally I wanted to take a vacation, but now there is no hope of taking a vacation. I can only investigate this trivial matter. I don't know why the opportunity came up. Isn't there someone unwilling to hand over the food?" Xu Xing said.
Later, in the middle of the night, Xu Xin quietly went to the granary, where she used her supernatural power to break a series of large locks outside the door, causing the lock cylinder to fall off, so she quietly entered the granary. Originally,
She wanted to take a look at the food situation in the granary, but when she went in, she couldn't see the food. There were a few fat mice running around on the ground, and she could vaguely see some scattered corn on the ground.
.
These golden corns fell on the ground, but they seemed very rare. There were only these mice running around in the granary, and these mice were much bigger than the mice at home, because judging from their size, you can find these
The mice have become very obese.
"What a bunch of rats. We didn't see any food, but we saw fat rats!" Xu Xing muttered in her heart.
At this moment, Xu Xing suddenly smelled a strange smell, so she immediately started to smell it with her nose. Although the smell was very light, she still smelled it.
"There's something strange about this smell. I seem to have smelled it somewhere, but where did the strange smell come from in the granary? It can't be that the grain is moldy, right?" Xu Xing became even more confused.
Then she continued to walk forward, and suddenly she saw black shadows inside the empty granary, which looked huge. When she got closer, she realized that they were huge oil drums, and there were many strange figures.
Then she suddenly realized that these oil drums were all filled with
Gasoline, so the smell I smelled just now is actually the smell of gasoline after it evaporates.
"Isn't it forbidden to have flammable and explosive items in the warehouse? In this case, who would dare to bring gasoline here? Are you really so ambitious that you are not afraid of catching fire? If it catches fire, a fire here can put it down
The entire granary is burned down!" Xu Xing thought silently in her heart.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of a serious problem. It seemed that in ancient times, there was often a shortage of food. If someone came to check, there would often be fire dragons burning warehouses and Yin soldiers borrowing food.
, in fact, it was all said randomly by the officials in charge of the granary.
"Is it possible that all the grain in this granary has been taken away, and the gasoline is used to cope with the inspection? If someone from above comes to inspect, then all the granaries here will be burned down. This can only
It was a crime of dereliction of duty, but in the end the problem of food shortage was solved like this!" Xu Xing suddenly realized, and now she finally understood why the gasoline head was placed in it, just to ignite the fire at the critical moment.
"These damn people are so audacious that they swallowed so much food and want to destroy the corpses with fire to eliminate traces. No, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!" Xu Xing said in her heart.
Although Xu Xing had given up the idea of killing the bandits at this time, the sense of justice in her heart had never disappeared, because she knew that she must uphold justice for ordinary people, otherwise these ordinary people would not survive at all in the apocalypse.
She couldn't go on, so for this goal, she also wanted to investigate this matter and who took away the food.
So Xu Xing then went to many nearby hotels. These hotels had very sumptuous meals, including rare items such as chicken, duck, and fish. Obviously at this time, many people could not even have a full meal.
There is no result. Nowadays, rich people can still afford to eat big fish and meat. This is very strange. Needless to say, it can be understood that many people have transferred the food that originally belonged to others to themselves, so they themselves have no food and clothing.
worry.
It was a coincidence that after Xu Xing arrived at the hotel, she quickly met an old acquaintance, that was Li Xiang.
Li Xiang is now the city lord of Jiangyang, and the people under his command need to consult him no matter what they do, otherwise the matter will not be completed.
After Li Xiang appeared here, many people in the hotel came to greet many hostesses and stood in a row to welcome their city lord to enter. These hostesses were all wearing red cheongsams with very high slits.
When I move around my thighs, a lot of white skin will be exposed inadvertently.
Xu Xing frowned and said in her heart: "I didn't expect that this guy has become so extravagant and wasteful. He even comes to the hotel to have a casual meal. So many people need to welcome him!"
