Time-traveling hunk as wife

Chapter 169 Punishment 1

This matter has caused a lot of noise, and everyone knows it.

By the time Fatty Du reacted and wanted to apply pressure again, it was too late.

In Lanzhou, tens of thousands of people were outraged.

The hardest-hit areas not only have nothing to harvest this year because of the high temperature and heat.

Moreover, because of Fatty Du's suppression of the relief silver, the farmers have no good seeds to supplement.

The land is barren, the people have eaten up all their food, and have no choice but to go to the streets to beg for food, and the bark and grass roots are gone.

The people sent by Lu Ming have already brought the Wanmin letter and pleadings from Lanzhou, and successfully went to Beijing to file an imperial pleading.

Lu Ming even mobilized, escorted by hidden piles along the way, and privately asked people to write songs and stories about the tragedy of Lanzhou, and spread them all over the country.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to put pressure on the current emperor.

Let him have to deal with this matter, instead of making big things small and small things like last time, disregarding tens of thousands of lives.

However, in ancient times, the journey of chariots and horses was relatively slow. Even if the horses were fastened, it would take at least 10 days to go to the capital.

Lu Ming waited anxiously, and the whole Lanzhou was waiting anxiously.

Fearing that things might change and the innocent would be hurt, Lu Ming specially asked the bandits hiding in the county to secretly protect the petitioning family members and sufferers.

But things often go beyond everyone's expectations.

Due to the hot weather, Lu Ming couldn't sleep all night long, and only when the sky was dark and the temperature dropped, did he barely fall asleep.

That day Lu Ming had just fallen asleep, and Lin Han sat beside him, shaking a fan to dispel the heat.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Mo Wu hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Master, there are changes in Lanzhou City, do you want to wake up Lord Lu?"

Although Lin Han was distressed that Lu Ming had just fallen asleep, he also knew that the situation was critical and the situation was changing rapidly, so he called Lu Ming to get up.

Lu Ming, who was originally sleepy, heard Mo Wuhe's narration.

Eyes wide open in disbelief.His pupils shrank, and he asked: "What did you say, the Zhizhou Yamen clashed with the people who came to complain, how many died?!!!"

"Returning to the lord, the villain just got the news that Du Zhizhou sent people to suppress the people with force, and the two sides clashed. As many as 12 people died, and the bricks and stones in front of the prefect's yamen were stained red."

When Lu Ming heard this, the blood on his face faded away, he took two steps back in disbelief, and kept shaking his head.

He hates himself so much now, why didn't he send someone to Beijing to sue the imperial court sooner.

Maybe in this way, the tragedy will not happen, and dozens of people will die.

More than a dozen living families just disappeared. These are completely avoidable.

Lin Han supported Lu Ming who was staggering, supported his back with one hand, and slowly injected true energy into his body to protect his heart veins.

"Msister, don't be sad, the incident happened suddenly, no one wants this to happen."

Lu Ming couldn't help shaking his head, and smiled miserably. Now he finally understands why politics is the dirtiest thing in the world. It kills people without blood, and countless people shed their blood for it in an instant.

"Quick, secretly send people to Lanzhou City to protect the families of the victims."

Lu Ming frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Then send someone to Lanzhou Zhizhou's mansion. We must find someone and follow Fatty Du quietly. Now that the matter has been revealed, he may abscond in fear of crime."
