Chapter five hundred and eighty first special dinner

street corner.

Chief Shi Yang Cheng and Si Tian Chen Hongyi walked side by side.

After a long while, Chen Hongyi sighed: "I really don't know what the court thinks. Mr. Yuchi is a good man, but he is a general on horseback and has no intention of governing Tongzhou. He has been in Tongzhou for many years and has made no achievements. Instead, he let the Dou family

It's getting bigger and bigger... Now, I thought that the imperial court would send a capable person to Tongzhou, but he didn't know, but he was just a child. Alas, it was just a child. On the first day he took office, he was bribed by the Dou family.

!”

Yang Cheng also sighed and said: "I have long been discouraged. If it were not to protect my people, why would I linger on my last breath?"

Chen Hongyi said: "When will days like this end!"

The two waved and parted at the next intersection.



"Master Hou, are we going in the wrong direction?"

Seeing that the desolation was getting more and more desolate, a large number of refugees appeared around. They all looked at everyone numbly, and someone finally couldn't help but ask.

Du He smiled and said: "Yes, the dinner I have prepared for everyone is right in front."

Zou Lujun stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, originally the people in my state were living and working in peace and contentment, but we didn't know that there were several heavy snowfalls in winter, which caused many people outside the city to be displaced and had to flee to the city."

Du He nodded, his face neither sad nor happy.

While he was talking, everyone had already arrived under the city wall.

This place is the gathering place for disaster victims in the county.

Three huge soup kitchen shacks stood in front of us. Just when they were finishing their meal, the victims were waiting in line to give soup while holding various tools in their hands. The reason why they were called various tools was because the government officials

No bowls or chopsticks were provided for everyone. The victims all brought their own. Some were holding earthen bowls, some were holding half bowls, some were holding bamboo tubes, and some were even holding rough bowls polished with a piece of stone.

It looks impressive.

Du He pointed to the distance and said, "Look, this is the dinner I have prepared for you."

Everyone looked in the direction of Du He's finger and saw five tables on a dirty open space near the porridge shed. The tables were already filled with dishes and chopsticks.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But he saw Du He taking the lead, walking forward and sitting on the table in the middle.

Du He waved his hand: "Serve!"

The guards around him immediately came forward with a bucket of gruel and filled each bowl with gruel.

A bowl of porridge only contains a few grains of yellow rice visible to the naked eye, and the rest is water.

The officials sat down in confusion.

Du He pointed at the porridge and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Eat!"

No one moved.

This porridge is not only thin, but also exudes a rancid smell. In the eyes of everyone, even if it is fed to livestock, they will not eat it.

"Eat!" Du He said.

Zou Lujun said: "Hey, Mr. Hou, I'm not hungry. Thank you Mr. Hou for your kindness. I've been upset these days! I'm not hungry!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, I have a stomachache too!"

"Master Hou, I am still seriously ill and cannot eat!"

"Me too!"

Everyone shied away.

But no one took action.

Du He said with a smile: "If you don't eat it, I will!"

With that said, Du He picked up the bowl in front of him, drank the whole bowl of porridge in one gulp, and wiped the corners of his mouth after drinking.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Du He actually drank such a rancid thing without even blinking.

He is the Marquis of Huyi County!

Still a prince-in-law!

He is the son of the current Right Prime Minister!

Before everyone could react, they saw Du He slamming the bowl on the ground.

Wow.

boom.

Du He slapped the table and said angrily: "I have already drank my porridge. Now it's your turn. Whoever dares not to eat will not give me face today!"

Good guy, as soon as this movement came out, the people around him gathered around and watched from a distance.

At this time, Yu Chigong stood up, picked up the bowl, and said: "I am heartbroken. The people under my rule actually eat such porridge to survive. The victims can eat it, but I can't eat it..."

After saying that, Yuchi Gong drank it in one gulp.

After Yuchi Gong finished drinking, he slammed the bowl down...not because he was angry, but because the drink was so unpleasant that he frowned and almost vomited it out.

Yuchi Gong glanced at Du He in surprise.

He was very surprised why the always pampered Du He could drink it without changing his expression.

Then, Yuchi Gong said angrily: "Everyone drinks, and whoever doesn't drink won't give me, Yuchi Jingde, face!"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

In the end, everyone held a bowl in one hand and held their noses in the other, and drank all of them.

Three people vomited on the spot.

Dou Xianren and Zou Lujun squatted aside and started retching.

Du He watched all this coldly.

When everyone had almost vomited, he asked slowly: "Who is in charge of providing porridge to the victims?"

A chubby guy stood up, he was the one who had vomited first, and said tremblingly: "Master Qi, I am in charge."

"If I remember correctly, your name is Fangzhou, Sihu of Tongzhou?" Du He asked.

"Exactly!"

Seeing Du He's cold eyes, Fang Zhouzi broke into a cold sweat.

This young marquis has no rules at all in his work. He may smile and be friendly at one moment, but then as cold as ice, making him completely unpredictable.

Du He snorted and asked: "Years ago, His Majesty issued an edict requiring all localities to settle disaster victims, and also allocated money and food from the imperial court to various areas for disaster relief. I want to ask you, according to the imperial court's standards, each

How much is the daily ration of the victims converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

"ah……"

The word "Fangzhou" was like being struck by lightning. He was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time before he said slowly: "The Lord Qi, it is... five cents."

The expressions of everyone around him changed drastically.

In Tongzhou, this was a tacit thing. The standard for the money and food distributed by the court was about five cents per day for each disaster victim. However, after layers of deductions, it finally reached the people's mouths, and each citizen even received half a cent.

None.

Who knew that Du He would mention it at this time.

At this time, Dou Xianren finally understood.

It turns out that all Du He's kindness just now was just an act.

Now, this guy finally showed his true colors.

"I'm going to suffer..."

Dou Xianren screamed in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a large number of guards appearing around him at some unknown time, surrounding everyone.

He didn't know any of these people. They were all Du He's subordinates and Yuchi Gong's personal guards.

Du He was heard scolding sternly: "How dare you call me Fangzhou? As the secretary of the same state, you are in charge of disaster relief matters, but you secretly withhold the people's rations. He deserves to be killed. He deserves to be killed. Someone comes and takes him down."

He was taken to the Tongzhou government prison and asked to be interrogated by the governor early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty said that the king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat and capsize it. The people are the foundation of the country, but

You have actually done such a thing that is outrageous to both humans and gods. Are you worthy of the people of the same state? Are you worthy of His Majesty? Are you worthy of the Governor's expectations of you?"

"Master Hou, you are wronged!" Fang Zhouzi shouted.

Unfortunately, Du He didn't listen to the explanation at all, and with a wave of his hand, he was taken away.
