Chapter 500

Because he saw quite a few impurities in the water, it looked like it had been here for quite a while.

The man did not consider these details; he spoke seriously at this time.

"Then it seems you must be a young master from some wealthy family."

Ying Mo nodded after hearing this: "We are mainly writing a travelogue."

After hearing this, a look of envy appeared in the man's eyes.

After all, some people were still living for food and clothing, while some could pursue higher things.

However, the man did not think much at this time, and after thinking for a short while, he spoke.

"First of all, our Heishui County Magistrate is a cruel, heartless, and extremely brutal person."

After hearing this, Ying Mo nodded.

He knew that the other party had already started to complain bitterly.

Then the man spoke again: "Our Heishui County was actually not very peaceful before, and ever since this Magistrate took office, he has constantly exploited the people."

"He constantly bullies the local people, doing all kinds of things like forcibly robbing young women, heavy taxes, robbing cattle and sheep, robbing grain."

"And the people cannot resist; once they resist, it is a family-broken-and-dead outcome, so he is very arrogant now."

"Actually, my son and I could still save some grain every year, but every year it was collected by that Magistrate."

"This year, after they took away all the grain, we could barely have enough grain to survive, but today they took it all away."

"Isn't this letting the two of us father and son die?"

When he heard these words, his son beside him actually cried.

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he frowned instantly.

If what the other party said was all true, then this matter would be a big deal.

This meant that the local people were indeed living in all kinds of difficulties.

This Magistrate was not a human at all.

And according to the various situations Ying Mo had seen before, he could infer that what this person said was indeed very correct.

No wonder the folk customs of this Heishui County looked somewhat strange, and it was clearly prosperous, but the economy was not good.

Even not long after he entered, he saw so many family-broken-and-dead things.

However, Ying Mo thought again, if it were just relying on the Magistrate's means—

—he probably wouldn't be so powerful; after all, the grain of this whole county was not a small amount.

But the other party collected it all, and collected it many times, so it was very likely for other organizations.

Ying Mo thought slightly and directly thought of the Blood Blade Sect.

At this moment, Ying Mo was very angry and had already had another plan.

Ying Mo nodded and said: "Then I basically already know the situation here; don't worry, I will write this '097' matter into my travelogue."

"When the time comes, let the people in the world know that the Heihu County Magistrate here has such a character."

When the man heard this, a smile appeared on his face instantly.

"Then many thanks, benefactor."

"Being able to give us grain under such circumstances, you are our savior; you are truly too noble."

After saying this, he even pulled his son over to kowtow to Ying Mo.

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he felt somewhat uncomfortable for a while.

These people should not have suffered such treatment; one could tell from the local environment and the figures of this father and son.

They should all be hardworking people, but such hardworking people could not eat their fill.

Then he should indeed reflect on what the Magistrates under him were doing?

However, Ying Mo was not prepared to leave this matter entirely to himself to do.

He prepared to notify the local Prefect.

So he prepared to go outside: "This old brother, then I will take my leave first."

Ying Mo said seriously at this moment.

After hearing this, the man nodded repeatedly: "Then I am truly very grateful to you, little brother."

"But there is still half a bag of grain here; we just divided it, you take this half bag of grain away."

After hearing this, Ying Mo shook his head: "Just leave all that grain to you."

"Take care."

After Ying Mo finished speaking, he left directly.

Ying Mo did not know how this family would survive under such an environment?

Could it be that they would go to other places to borrow grain?

But other families might not have sufficient grain either.

Then how would they survive?

Rebellion was an impossible thing; in the end, they might only be able to starve to death alive.

So when Ying Mo thought of this point, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

The people here should not suffer such treatment, and the Magistrate here should not be so arrogant and domineering.

He decided to write a letter to the Prefect, asking him to come to Heihu County to solve this matter.

At night.

The Heihu County Magistrate sat in the courtyard and spoke to the Private Secretary beside him.

"Has the money been collected back completely today?"

After the Private Secretary heard this, he nodded.

When the Heihu County Magistrate saw this scene, he laughed out loud instantly.

"I knew that those stubborn commoners still hid quite a bit of grain under their hands; when they were searched last time, they actually dared to hide it."

"Fortunately, I searched it again this time."

After the Private Secretary heard this sentence, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Because the Private Secretary had always been on the scene to collect grain himself, and every time he collected grain, he had to be a villain.

Although the Private Secretary was also a ruthless person, when he saw those scenes of families broken and dead, he was still particularly uncomfortable...

Although he was not a good person, he was afraid that this matter would plant a bad seed.

When the time came, once a problem arose, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame.

So at this moment, he came to the Heihu County Magistrate and spoke seriously.

"Magistrate, I still have to mention something to you; this matter is very severe."

The Heihu County Magistrate was in a good mood at this time, and upon hearing this, he naturally said quickly: "You have made a great contribution this time; if you have anything to say, just say it to me directly."

"Say it, what merit do you want?"

After hearing this sentence, the Private Secretary spoke.

"The current situation is not very favorable for us."

"If we continue to collect like this, then the people of Heihu County will soon be drained of their last blood by us."

"When the time comes, they will have no grain to eat, and they are very likely to have a riot."

"When the time comes, a bigger crisis will appear."

1.3 The Heihu County Magistrate snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"They won't dare; don't worry, this is simply an impossible thing; they don't have the guts."

"If they had the guts, then they would probably have rebelled long ago; why wait until now?"

"It's not the first time we've collected their grain; do they want to throw away their lives for just a little bit of food?"

"I think they shouldn't go that far."

The Heihu County Magistrate said seriously, his eyes carrying full seriousness.

After hearing this, the Private Secretary beside him felt a burst of helplessness in his heart.
