Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 186 Food Distribution

After capturing Zhou Zhi, Gu Chen and others went directly to the county government office. Seeing that Zhou Zhi had been arrested, the county government officer originally wanted to take action, but Gu Chen directly took out the golden order and said, "This is the golden order given by the Holy Spirit today." , I have been specially assigned to come to Huzhou to investigate the disaster. If you dare to offend me, you will become the enemy of the court!"

As soon as these words came out, all the government officials were immediately frightened and did not dare to refute, and they no longer had the confidence to fight.

Now that all the county magistrates have been arrested, they are just a group of migrant workers, so how can they dare to go against the imperial court.

Seeing that this group of people did not dare to take action, Gu Chen looked at the crowd and said: "Put the magistrate of Qingshui County in jail pending further processing. From now on, all affairs in Qingshui County will be handed over to me, and no one can object. "

Seeing that Gu Chen was about to take him into custody, Zhou Zhi's expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "Sir, I didn't do this on purpose. Please give me another chance!"

"take away!"

After dealing with Zhou Zhi, Gu Chen sent people to the cell to rescue the old village chief and others.

In the court hall.

Xiao Xiaozi looked at Nangong Yue and the people around him, and then at Gu Chen sitting at the top. He blinked his bright eyes and asked curiously: "Ah, brother, were you the one who rescued us?" ?”

"Um."

Gu Chen nodded, then looked at the old village chief next to him and said, "Village Chief, I will send someone to take you back later."

Seeing Gu Chen's battle at this moment, the old village chief also knew that the other party's identity was not simple. He lowered his head in fear and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Chen gave instructions to Liu Yun and also reminded him carefully.

——I’ll go back later and help him deal with Zhang Hu.

Gu Chen admitted that he was a bit petty, but if he hadn't had an identity this time, anyone else would have been hurt by Zhang Hu. When he was in Tanjiang Village, he had already given the other party several opportunities, but the other party didn't know how to cherish them.

....

The next day, Gu Chen directly took over the work of Qingshui County and began to provide disaster relief and food distribution. At the same time, an announcement was issued to the remaining grain stores in the city, requiring that the price of grain should not exceed 30 yuan per catty. Once discovered, the government would immediately control the grain stores.

As soon as the news of the disaster relief was sent out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless farmers and started talking happily.

"Have you heard? The county has distributed food!"

"I heard it, I heard it. It seems that a big shot came from Kyoto, and he even locked up the magistrate of Qingshui County."

"Well done! That harmful person is not worthy of being an official at all."

"Let's go take a look inside the county town. I heard there are several more soup kitchens opened."

"Yes, it seems that food is still distributed, but the village chief himself has to personally bring people here to distribute food."

The news spread from ten to ten, and farmers living around Qingshui County rushed to the county, hoping to get some food.

"Someone is coming from Kyoto!"

Outside the county town, Li Hongxiong was slightly startled when he heard the farmers walking towards the town one by one, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Aren’t you the commander sent by Kyoto? !

Why are there people from Kyoto!

"Sir, should we go back and have a look."

The guard next to him seemed to notice Li Hongxiong's doubts and couldn't help but ask.

Li Hongxiong nodded, "Let's go to the county government office."

Li Hongxiong and others arrived at the gate of the county town. Countless refugees were waiting in long queues, happily receiving rice porridge. Compared with the porridge that was served in the ruined temple, this is much thicker.

After looking at it for a few times, Li Hongxiong immediately drove to the county government office.

In the county government office, Gu Chen is organizing manpower to arrange food distribution.

As long as the village chief of each village counts the villagers in the village and then produces relevant documents and certificates, he can receive a relative amount of grain back.

"Master Gu, you are such a good person! If it weren't for you, our village would have been forced into a desperate situation."

"Yes! Mr. Gu, please pay homage to our Buffalo Village. Without you this time, the people in our village would not know how to live."

"Now that we have this food, we can go to the fields to sow seeds. As long as we survive this month and a half with some frugality, we will be able to have a second early rice harvest."

"We must remember Master Gu's great kindness. When the food harvest is good next year, we will build an ancestral hall for Master Gu and worship him all year round."

A group of villagers surrounded Gu Chen, telling each other's kindness with great excitement. The gratitude in their hearts could not be concealed. Some of the villagers who were a little more straightforward even knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, unable to stop them. kind of.

If Gu Chen hadn't distributed food this time, ordinary people like them would have had to wait to starve to death. This great kindness must be kept in mind.

Gu Chen smiled gently, "Okay, okay, everyone, get up quickly! You'd better transport these grains back to the village so that the villagers can have a hot meal."

Looking at Gu Chen chatting and laughing with the villagers, Nangong Yue, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully.

Sometimes he is cruel, sometimes he is gentle, I really don't know which side is his true face.

At this moment, a group of people walked in. The leader, Li Hongxiong, looked around at the noisy environment, looked around, and then saw Gu Chen and Nangong Yue among the crowd.

King Zhuang!

Li Hongxiong was shocked, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged.

Gu Chen on the opposite side also noticed Li Hongxiong coming in.

When Li Hongxiong saw this, he immediately walked forward quickly to Gu Chen, lowered his head and said, "Head of the Huzhou Department, Li Hongxiong, commander of Huzhou, has met Prince Zhuang."

Gu Chen glanced at the other party and whispered: "Back."

Seeing this, Li Hongxiong quickly explained: "Xiaguan has been out inspecting the disaster situation during this period. I just happened to hear that an adult has come to the city, so I rushed back to see him."

Gu Chen asked again, "How do you think the magistrate of Qingshui County is doing, sir?"

Li Hongxiong was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Nangong Yue standing behind him, seemingly unable to deduce the relationship between the two.

But logically speaking, the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Revenue have always had a good relationship, so the other party should have no reason to help King Zhuang.

After a brief thought, he replied: "Xiaguan has not had many negotiations with the magistrate of Qingshui County, but judging from the current disaster situation, what the other party has done is indeed insufficient."

Gu Chen smiled.

This Li Hongxiong completely wanted to keep himself clean, and he was deeply afraid that something would implicate him!

Immediately, Gu Chen said solemnly: "The magistrate of Qingshui County not only hid food secretly, but also raised prices and was harsh on the people. Many poor people died of illness in this disaster, and he pretended to be a local official."

Hearing Gu Chen's cold answer, Li Hongxiong's heart trembled, and he was deeply afraid that the other party's affairs would affect him.

At this time, Gu Chen turned to look at Li Hongxiong in front of him, his tone became much calmer, "I wonder if Mr. Li knows these things?"

Li Hongxiong replied respectfully: "This official doesn't know anything about it, so please ask King Zhuang to investigate closely!"

Seeing Li Hongxiong's fearful look, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and continued: "Okay, Mr. Li didn't know about it, so naturally I will not hold you responsible. But now the affairs of Huzhou are fully handed over to me, Mr. Li You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

Li Hongxiong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "I am willing to listen to Prince Zhuang's instructions."
