Who is willing to separate flesh and blood? After signing the deed of sale, he will be a slave for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will also be slaves.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to exclude those mean people who sell their children and daughters for a little money.

"Fellow villagers, please listen to what this official says." Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, lifted the internal force, and shouted loudly.

"Stop, Lord Qincha is here."

Several officials behind him shouted, pushing the teeth of the two little girls to the side.

"Don't move, Lord Qincha has something to say."

The victims looked back at Gu Chengyu and saw that it was the official who drove them to Yingnan Mansion when they were in Hangtianfu, and they couldn't help but be excited.

"Look! It was the dog official who asked us to come to Yingnanfu, saying that he wanted to properly settle us, but what happened? We are still starving, and we have nowhere to live. ”

One of the victims pointed at Gu Chengyu and said indignantly.

Seeing this, the victims on the side hurriedly stopped him. Several people used their hands and feet together to cover his mouth, so as to prevent him from speaking out again.

Gu Chengyu's action of shooting and injuring the victims in front of the gate of Hangtianfu that day is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these people still remember Gu Chengyu's ruthlessness vividly.

This person is so insulting, who knows if the official will be angry, kill this person, and take out his anger on them?

Insulting the officials of the court and ignoring the dignity of the upper and lower should have been punished.

Gu Chengyu looked at the victim, and when he saw the anger and sadness in the other party's eyes, Gu Chengyu knew that this was the real victim, and it was definitely not a spy sent by someone else.

The man was surrounded by men, women, and children, all of whom looked at him with frightened eyes.

Gu Chengyu sighed, and didn't care about this person's words of scolding him. Days like this are indeed fucked up and infuriating, and it's normal for him to be scolded twice.

He can understand the other party's distress, but he must not tolerate the other party's wanton insult to him. As an official of the imperial court, he should maintain the image and dignity of his officials.

Gu Chengyu could bear it for the time being, but Mingmo couldn't help it.

"What a wolf-hearted thing, you go from Hangtianfu to Yingnanfu, who will provide you with food and drink along the way? Have you been cut off for two days? Not to mention that the family also has a few steamed buns a day to fill their stomachs, which are all bought with the money that my family adults have managed to raise. In order to prevent you from starving, my family has racked their brains and offended many people. You eat the food sent by the adults, and you scold my family, and your conscience allows the dogs to eat it? ”

Mingmo looked excited, and her eyes were full of anger as she looked at the victims.

"The disaster relief silver issued by the imperial court is still on the way, if it weren't for my family's best efforts, you would have starved to death."

Mingmo was upset for Gu Chengyu, and her heart was aggrieved.

Since I came to Jiangnan, I haven't had a good rest. Every day, he battled wits and courage with those businessmen and officials, and had to think of ways to raise money for disaster relief.

For this reason, in just half a month, the adults in his family have lost a lot of weight.

Mingmo's accusation made the victims present instantly speechless.

What this entourage said is indeed the truth, whether it is Hangtianfu or Yingnanfu, who will take care of those officials? If it hadn't been for the arrival of this Lord Chincha, they would have been exhausted.

Gu Chengyu didn't interrupt Mingmo's words, in his opinion, if he did something good, he should say it. Otherwise, it's like a brocade at night, no one can know.

Doing good deeds without leaving a name does not exist for Gu Chengyu. He does not deny that everything he does has a purpose in mind.

But he has benefited, and he has benefited others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official knows that you don't want to come to Yingnan Mansion, but think about it, can you be properly accommodated by staying in Hangtian Mansion? There are about 30,000 victims in Changtianfu, and with so many victims, one Hangtianfu can't eat at all. Since this official has brought you to Yingnan Mansion, there is naturally a way to settle you. ”

"The disaster relief silver issued by the imperial court is still on the way, and the food you eat every day is from the official who licks his face and asks for it. Whether you are resentful or grateful to this official in your heart! Things in this world can't be as good as they should be, but the official wants to be worthy of his heart! ”

Gu Chengyu glanced around the victims, and saw that some of the victims had lowered their heads in shame, so he softened his face.

"Let's admit that Lord Qincha is a good official, but you see, my lord, we have been staying outside the city gates, not eating, drinking, not talking, not even a place to stay. My lord, our requirements are not high, we are just looking for a place to stay. If the adults let us into the city and find a place to cover ourselves, we would be grateful. One of the people in the crowd suddenly suggested.

Gu Chengyu's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly followed the direction of the voice and looked over.

It's just that the victims are crowded, and he really can't find the person for a while.

"Yes! Have mercy on us, my lord! Let us go into the city, didn't you say that there is a nursing home in Yingnan Mansion? Why can't you contain us? ”

One person started to beg for help, and the rest of the victims begged each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic again.

Gu Chengyu's eyes sharpened, "Into the city?" No way! ”

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, there was a thud, and the sword was unsheathed. Seeing this, Mingmo and the officials behind him immediately drew their swords and faced each other.

"If someone wants to break in, then ask the sword in the officer's hand. Those who break into it are regarded as rebellious thieves and should be punished by the Nine Clans. ”

Gu Chengyu's fierce eyes made the hearts of the victims who were originally about to move, and the shining silver sword body made everyone daunted.

As soon as there are many people, it is easy to be bewitched by people with ulterior motives, Gu Chengyu glanced around the crowd and did not find anyone with obvious abnormalities in their expressions.

It seems that this person's acting skills are much more superb than the one in Hang Tianfu before, so he said this, and immediately shrank in the crowd and didn't dare to show his head.

Gu Chengyu raised the sword in his hand, and his tone was a little slower than before, "Don't worry, this official wants to build a temporary shanty for you first, so that there is a place to stay." Next, Yingnan Prefecture also needed strong laborers to do river work, and the village chief of each village selected one hundred and twenty people to be registered in the prime of life. ”

After Gu Chengyu explained this, he glanced at the crowd again, then turned around and left.

When the victims heard that the government was going to recruit river workers again, they couldn't help but smile.

In a village, there are one hundred and twenty prime of life, and one family produces one, and the wages earned are used to buy food, and the whole family will not starve to death.

"If you spread your hands, my daughter will not be sold." A man was dragged back by a little girl who was taken away by a steward, and he couldn't starve to death, so what kind of girl did he sell?

"Huh? Didn't we say yes before? Why did you regret it? I have taken out all the money. ”

The steward was immediately unhappy, isn't this a reversal?

Gu Chengyu didn't care about the chaos behind him, he took Mingmo and the officials and walked towards the city.

"You have sent people to keep an eye on these victims for the past two days, and if you see any suspicious person, you will immediately report it to me."
