Chapter 60 Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones!
"My husband, do you think those big players will come?"
The next morning, Chen Youwei took the spring flowers and autumn moon and accompanied Su Cheng in a carriage to the government office.
He was really worried about what happened today, and Chen Youwei asked on his own initiative.
It was rare for Su Cheng to see his wife care about him so much, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, you are not like this in normal times."
Chen Youwei was stunned, then her face turned red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look directly.
This is a person who is so impatient, why can’t I be so impatient!
Now that he has discovered it, he must have thought he had taken control of himself.
"I...I'm just afraid that the victims will not handle it properly and will affect my Shen family!"
Chen Youwei found a seemingly reasonable request for herself.
While saying that, she also raised her chest and looked as if she tried to make herself seem reasonable.
This scene made Chunhua Qiuyue, who was standing beside her, covered her mouth, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
The eldest lady is really. She obviously likes son-in-law, but she just doesn't want to admit it.
If this continues, when will the two of them have a young master in the bridal chamber?
While the two women were pondering, Su Cheng smiled and took Chen Youwei's hand: "Okay, okay, I know what you want. I will go to the county government immediately. Whether those big families will come or not will you know in a while."
While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the county government office.
The groom outside shouted, "Sir, Miss, the county government has arrived, but there are many victims here, so we can only get out of the car and go there."
When he became the county magistrate, his subordinates also changed his name for Su Cheng.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, reached out to push the curtain, and pulled Chen Youwei out of the carriage.
I saw a large group of ragged victims holding wooden sticks and broken bowls lying or sitting at the empty county government gate, occupying all the streets outside the county government.
At first glance, the victims were all thin, and even moans and crying came from afar.
At this moment, the county yamen runners also discovered Su Cheng and others, and immediately a team of yamen runners stepped forward and bowed:
"Have you met Lord Su!"
"No need to be polite, what's going on over there?" Su Cheng asked, pointing to a group of people crying around in the distance.
Yabos, look at me, look at you, don’t dare to speak.
"What, the county took office on the first day today, will the words be useless?"
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes, his aura exploded, and a sense of majesty emanated.
The leader He, who was in charge, quickly replied: "Sir Su, there... some people died over there, and their families were crying."
"A man died?"
Su Cheng's eyes turned cold: "How many have you died? Also, how long have they been here?"
"Sir, these victims have been here for four or five days, but Lord Wang has been away before, and we don't know what to do with them."
Head He smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe because he didn't eat for many days, more than a dozen people have starved to death in the past two days."
"Seven or eight more starved to death this morning."
More than twenty people starved to death in these scattered scattered parts!
This is just the victims in front of you.
If all the victims were included, there would definitely be thousands of people who starved to death this time.
Moreover, as time goes by, the number of deaths will also increase rapidly, showing a geometric multiple increase!
If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, once there are many people who die and the bodies are piled up, a plague will occur.
These days, plagues are even more terrible than droughts!
Things have reached the point where they cannot be handled without handling.
No wonder Wang Defa was in a hurry to leave, the old fox had already expected this.
Su Cheng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Are those big players coming?"
"Sir, they have arrived a long time ago, waiting for you in the side hall of the county government."
“Lead ahead!”
"Please, sir!"
There was a constable leading the way, and Su Cheng was the newly appointed county magistrate, so the victims at the scene did not know him, so they easily entered the county government.
But when passing by the victims, Su Cheng saw these people at close range.
Some people are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, while others are so thirsty that their mouths are white, their lips are cracked, and they are all lying on the ground with weakness, looking very miserable.
This scene touched Su Cheng very much.
In the past, he had no ability to help these people, and he just wanted to save his life and make himself full.
But now it’s different. He has become the county magistrate. These people are in his jurisdiction, so he cannot ignore these people!
Thinking that when he was slower to deal with this matter, more people would die, Su Cheng looked solemn and his pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
Soon, the side hall was right in front of you.
Before he entered, Su Cheng saw many figures inside, and some people even stood outside the hall because the place inside was not big enough.
"Have you met Lord Su!"
When they entered the hall, a large number of wealthy families bowed to Su Cheng and said respectfully.
Su Cheng took Shen Youwei to the main position with great strides: "You don't have to be too polite!"
Looking at the fat and big-headed and red-faced big-headed and bright-faced people in front of him, Su Cheng didn't talk nonsense and said directly:
"I believe you have seen it too. There are so many victims outside my county government."
"This drought has caused disaster victims to appear in many places around. Now they know that I have food in Liuhe County, so they all come to Liuhe County."
"If things go on, these victims will die here sooner or later."
"My idea is very simple. Each of you big families will provide some food to provide disaster relief and solve this problem together!"
As soon as these words came out, the big players on the scene were immediately exploded.
"Mr. Su, you have just taken office and you want us to give out food?"
"Yes, these foods are our own, how can we give them to these victims?"
"That's right, we can come today, all for your sake, Lord Su."
"Mr. Su, you have just become the county magistrate. We have also prepared a gift for you, but don't take action against us as soon as you take office!"
"Yes, we have food, but we also have to support our family, servants and tenants, and there is no extra food at all."
Letting these big households provide food will undoubtedly cost their lives!
Almost all the big households don’t want to produce food!
What does the disaster victims have to eat? What does it have to do with these big families?
Besides, these victims are not from Liuhe County. What are you, Lord Su, doing in this nostalgic business?
In a word, I want no food!
Su Cheng frowned when he heard this.
Although I had expected these big players to refuse, I didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply.
Looking at the pile of gifts on the table, thinking about the victims who starved to death outside the county government at this moment.
It’s really a stinky wine and meat, and I have frozen bones on the road!
For their own selfishness, these big investors will not care about the lives and deaths of the victims!
This is the world. Everyone cleanses the snow in front of their own doors, and doesn’t care about the frost on others!
But, because of this, he must take care of this matter.
Nothing else, just to die fewer people.
That's a living life!
He couldn't watch these people die before his eyes.
