Chapter 502 Beloved concubine (30)

  Qingyunzhou?

  Baitang frowned slightly, Qingyun Prefecture was not close to the emperor, and it would take half a month to hurry up.

  Baitang's eyes changed slightly: "My lady, what trouble did you encounter? Qingyun Prefecture is not close to the imperial capital, but my lady came here on foot?"

   It takes at least a month to hike. Women and children's footsteps are slower than men's, so they need more time.

The woman had a bitter look on her face: "Young Master, I don't know. There has been no rain in Qingyun Prefecture for more than half a year, and the seedlings have dried up, and the court doesn't care about it. I am a rude woman. I have no choice but to walk to the imperial capital to sue the officials. I beg Your Majesty to save Qingyun and the people around it, sir, can you help us?"

  Baitang's face became gloomy. The child was taken aback. He controlled his expression and asked in detail: "How long has the lady traveled? How many people have surplus food? How is the local food price? Who are the officials?"

The women came together one by one: "I walked for two and a half months. Many people in my village have starved to death. Basically, every household has no surplus food. Taxes are heavy these days. Where there is any surplus food, there is nothing to worry about." Died grass roots and gnawed bark to barely satisfy hunger."

"The price of food is also very high. The county magistrate Deng Rui took out all his property and gave us houses to live in. But it is still not enough. The price of the local grain merchants is extremely high. Mr. Deng can't bear to see too many people starve to death. Let the government officials I took out all the food from the grain households and distributed it to everyone, and I wrote an IOU and promised to pay it back after I got through the difficulties."

"There was no grain merchant coming. Mr. Deng said that he delivered more than a dozen memorials to the court, but the court did not reply. The person sent to Beijing also heard nothing. Mr. Deng said, we can't completely blame the emperor. The traitor blocked the memorial, but His Majesty didn't know about it."

   "The concubine and some villagers spontaneously went to the imperial capital, hoping to bring the news to the imperial capital and to His Majesty. Only in this way can our fathers, fellow villagers, and poor people be saved!"

The woman looked at Baitang expectantly again, knelt and kowtowed: "My lord, I see that you are either rich or noble, can you help us? Thousands of ordinary people are waiting for the relief food from the court! Our lives are also Fate!"

  Baitang is very serious: "If what the lady said is true, I will make it clear that you are the Holy One, and listen to it."

  The woman hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare I talk nonsense about so many people's lives?"

  The child timidly said: "My mother is telling the truth, she is not lying, many people starved to death along the way."

  Meng Yi asked in a low voice: "Master, do you still want to go to Yunxi Village?"

  Baitang shook his head. The original plan was to go to Yunxi Village to see the local conditions and harvests. Now that he encountered such a situation, the plan would naturally have to be changed.

  Baitang: "My lady and Mr. Xiaolang, come with me. I will take you to report. Hurry up, my lady has gold under her knees."

  Women and children rejoiced. Two guards carried them back.

  After walking for about an hour, Baitang suddenly reined in his horse and stopped: "There are assassins, be careful."

   Meng Yi panicked, carefully observing the surroundings, the guards surrounded Baitang and protected him inside.

  The women and children turned pale, terrified.

  Baitang instructed: "Protect this lady and her son well."

   "Yes, son."

  Baitang has already tightly grasped the folding fan transformed by the waves.

  Meng Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent. After returning to the palace, he must be trained as a good student."

  Bai Tang smiled: "Training is at the back of the queue. The Imperial Guard Army and the Imperial Forest Army will be pulled out for training every now and then. Those who should be punished will be punished, and those who should be promoted will be promoted."

  Meng Yi knew that a storm was about to start in the Imperial Guard Army and Imperial Forest Army.

  ——————Today’s order arrived on time
