Chapter 23 How can people survive in a corrupt world?
"Master Fang is so humble."
"This person is in the innate state, it would be better to kill him directly."
Fang Chen made a suggestion, but was Chen Shouren shook his head and refused.
“No, this person is a member of Chuzhou Prefecture Yin. Chuzhou Prefecture Yin is the disciple of the tenth prince. If he can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, Chuzhou Prefecture Yin may be involved. You can cut off one of the tenth prince’s arms and kill him like this, it’s such a waste.”
"Is that so? Then you have to take precautions. If you want to escape in the innate state, don't use too many methods."
"Haha, don't worry, I will pierce his Pipa bone first, and then give him Qi San Dan. Even the Great Luo Jinxian can't escape."
Fang Chen was speechless. He always felt that adding BUFF like this was not a good thing, but he just came to help and didn't have much to say.
"Since the matter here is settled, Fang will leave first."
"Master Fang, walk slowly."
Chen Shouren took out a wad of banknotes from his sleeve.
“Here is ten thousand taels of silver notes. Although it is not much, it is still a token of my gratitude.”
“Then Fang will be disrespectful to refuse.”
Fang Chen accepted it directly without being polite to him.
Because this trip to Chuzhou, spending money is inevitable.
At the same time, outside Chuzhou City, all officials of all levels in the Chuzhou Prefecture, large and small, stood outside the city and lined up neatly.
Not long after, as a mighty team entered, everyone knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."
Hearing this voice, a very majestic figure slowly walked out of the bronze chariot at the front. , he glanced at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"Everyone loves me."
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Everyone stood up, and the Crown Prince looked at Chuzhou Prefecture Yin.
"Liu Aiqing, this martial arts conference is being held in your Chuzhou Mansion. I wonder if the Chuzhou Mansion can arrange it properly?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the Chuzhou Mansion has prepared all the arrangements for the grand event. Arrangement."
Before the prince could even say a few words of praise, the governor of Chuzhou spoke again:
"However, this year, Linyuan City and other cities in Chuzhou suffered from heavy rains, and the Qianjiang River burst its banks, drowning many people. Our Chuzhou government has exhausted the government funds to hold the martial arts conference, and is really unable to provide relief. Please ask the prince His Highness showed compassion to the people and allocated silver from the treasury to provide disaster relief."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little quiet, and a gloom flashed in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince.
But looking at the eager eyes below, he finally put on a compassionate face.
"What Ai Qing said is absolutely true. In that case, Nagu has issued an order to allocate funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs to save the people."
"Thank you, His Highness, the Prince. Your Highness is truly the best in the world for his kindness. Fu.”
"I still have some official business to do, so I'll go to the temporary palace first. All my dear friends, please step aside."
"Welcome His Royal Highness to the city!"
"Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince."
With the words of the governor of Chuzhou, everyone shouted loudly and immediately made way for the motorcade to enter the city.
In the bronze chariot, the prince's face was as gloomy as water.
"This damn old ten, he is the fattest among all the princes, and he dares to instruct the governor of Chuzhou to ask me for money. I really want to eat his flesh alive."
Sit on his side. Looking at an old man with white beard and hair, his eyes were calm and he said:
"More than that, I heard that it was precisely because he instigated the governor of Chuzhou to covet the money allocated by the court to build the river embankment that the river embankment was eventually destroyed. Collapse, floods flooded the city, and countless people died."
The prince clenched his fists.
“This damn old Shi is so despicable and shameless in order to steal food from Gu’s mouth. If one day he is caught by Gu, he will be cut into pieces.” “We have to be careful now. The money and food for disaster relief has been embezzled again by the other party. Your Highness should send a capable officer to prevent the other party from making money.”
"Let the fourth child go. When it comes to doing things for the people, he is the most reliable."
A few days later, Fang Chen immediately left Jianghai City thousands of miles away, but the strange thing was , the further east you go, the more desolate you find, even the bark of the trees has been chewed away.
Many migrating people were also found on the road, all of them skinny and half-clothed.
“Jianghai City is relatively remote. Logically speaking, the closer it is to Chuzhou Prefecture, the more prosperous it should be.”
Plop.
At this moment, a woman holding a baby fell to the ground. The little girl was so frightened that she threw herself on her mother and cried.
"Oh, oh, mother, don't scare me, wuwuwu."
The eyes of the victims walking around all showed a green light, and those who were extremely hungry were in the midst of desire. Driven by love, as long as there is something to eat, one will not care about moral principles.
"Whoever can save my mother, whoever does good deeds, please save my mother, woo woo woo, I will be a cow and a horse for him."
The girl begged and kowtowed to the surroundings. Her forehead was bruised and blood flowed all over her face.
Smelling the smell of blood in the air, several figures swallowed their saliva, with fierce eyes, and began to surround the mother and daughter. You could guess what they wanted to do with your toes.
Fang Chen thought for a moment, but chose to step forward.
“Get out!”
Just one glance frightened several people, and they were so frightened that they stepped back.
Fang Chen already had a lot of lives in his hands, and the murderous look in his eyes was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
He came to the little girl. As if grasping a life-saving straw, the little girl immediately grabbed Fang Chen's trousers and cried out:
"Brother, please, save me. Mom."
"Be quiet."
Fang Chen said calmly, and the little girl shut up quietly, not daring to make too much noise.
Fang Chen put his hand on the woman's wrist and transferred a spiritual energy to her. The woman's already weak pulse gradually regained its strength, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Fang Chen, she suddenly understood and said grace immediately.
“Thank you, uncle, for saving my life.”
“Don’t thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank your daughter.”
The woman then noticed that her daughter’s face was full of tears. He immediately picked up the girl and cried loudly.
"My son, why are you so stupid?"
"Mom, Mengmeng just wants to be with you."
Looking at the wailing mother and son, Fang Chen walked away from the He took out a few pieces of beef jerky from his bag and handed them over.
"Recover your strength."
"My benefactor, how can this be done? You saved me."
"Eat quickly, I don't have time to stay with you here."
Fang Chen threw the beef jerky over directly without leaving. As long as he left, the victims nearby could tear both mother and daughter apart. , let alone those pieces of beef jerky.
The mother and daughter kowtowed to Fang Chen to express their gratitude, then hurriedly threw the beef into their mouths and chewed it like crazy.
"Where are you from? Why do you live here?"
The woman said with a hint of tears:
"We are victims of the disaster in Linyuan City. The embankment of the Ganjiang River in the Linyuan City section collapsed, flooding the city and crops. We had no choice but to escape."
