Chapter 37: A Trip to Jizhou (5)

Because of a cavalry, the small Nanpei City gathered together, and Yang Tao was still completely unaware of these situations.

After resting in the city for a day, Yang Tao took his men to Nanpei County to help the victims.

Although Nanpei suffered minor disasters due to a huge lake, there were still many victims under the pressure of the government without governance and the powerful. In addition to the influx of foreign victims, the number of victims is also quite small.

At noon, Yang Tao came to a gathering point for victims, an intermediate town called Yangshao Town. Due to its developed transportation, Nanpei is located in the plain and has many rivers and lakes, it has always been famous for producing grain, so it has a large population. In the case of severe drought in Jizhou, the fields here can still be harvested, attracting many victims from nearby counties to come here. Perhaps because this is a large grain-producing county, Yang Tao saw some porridge sheds here to help victims, but there were many porridge sheds in the disaster sheds, so Yang Tao rented a store in the town and joined the ranks of the disaster sheds in the town.

But just as Yang Tao and others were helping the victims, a group of officials came from outside the town. As soon as these officials entered the town, they began to drive the victims in the town to drive them out of the town. Not only that, they also went to various stores that provide porridge to provide relief to the victims and forced the relief sites to close the relief sites, and warned everyone not to help the victims in the future. Yang Tao was also warned.

Yang Tao did not understand why the relief of the victims was banned again. After dealing with the officials, he learned that Nan Pei Order had ordered the centralized management of all victims in Nan Pei County, and the government would concentrate on relief of the victims, and civilians were not allowed to relieve the victims.

"When will the government start to care about the lives of the victims?" Yang Tao asked Di Qiu in a puzzled in the inn.

"I am not very clear about this. If the government is really willing to help the victims, it would be a good thing. But I am worried that the government may not necessarily want to help the victims, but there may be some conspiracy." Di Qiu thought for a while and said with some concern.

"In my opinion, these bird officials must not be so kind. From Xiangguo City, which official has been in charge of the life and death of the victims along the way." Changshan, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak.

Yang Tao looked at Changshan's indignation and couldn't help but think: "Even Changshan doubts the motives of the Nanpeicheng government. It seems that it is necessary to investigate the affairs of the victims."

Seeing that Yang Tao was staring at him, Changshan scratched his head and whispered in a low voice: "Lord, you look at me like this, are you saying the wrong thing again?"

"Hahaha..." Changshan's honest appearance made Yang Tao laugh for a while before saying, "Changshan, you are right. At this time, few officials in the Han Dynasty would care about the lives of the people, but this is not absolute. As for whether Nan Peiling was doing good things, you can tell by just one investigation."

Yang Tao thought for a while and continued, "In this way, we will divide the troops into two groups, and Mr. Di will lead people to Nanpei City to investigate. Can we get more information? I am taking another person to the place where the victims gather. I don't know what I have to add to this arrangement."

"The lord arranged it very well, I have no objection."

Seeing that Mr. Di agreed, Yang Tao immediately set off.

After driving all the victims out of the town, the officials in the town drove the victims to the north.

Yang Tao followed along the way to an abandoned town. There were already many victims in the town. Yang Tao could still see constant victims entering the town from afar.

Yang Tao quietly waited near the town until night. At this time, the victims in the town had gathered tens of thousands of people, but Yang Tao did not see the government helping the victims during this day. After driving the victims to the town, only a few officials were left to guard them, and the others left.

"It seems that the government is really not at ease with any kindness." Yang Tao couldn't help but think of this.

After learning about the specific situation here, Yang Tao left the abandoned town and prepared to meet with Mr. Di and discussed what to do.

When Yang Tao returned to the inn in Yangshao Town, Old Man Di was already in the inn. After Yang Tao and others sat down in the room, Yang Tao first said: "Old man, I followed the officials all the way to the settlement of the victims. After observing for a day, I found that these officials just gathered the victims in a deserted town and ignored them. I wonder if the old man had received any news from the city."

"Returning to the lord, I did not find any useful information. I just knew that collecting centralized control of disaster victims was an order issued by Nan Pei Ling himself today to gather all the victims of Nan Pei together to control them. However, I heard something in the city."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Tao asked in confusion.

"After yesterday, a team of hundreds of people entered Nanpei City, a group of horses with hundreds of people entered Nanpei City. Many people saw a group of people in gorgeous clothes. I guess they should be among some gentry and powerful people, but I don't know if these people are related to the centralized control of disaster victims."

"It's such a coincidence. It's a suspicious thing, but regardless of whether it has anything to do with these people or not, the situation is unclear. Let's observe for a day or two before deciding what to do next." Yang Tao said after thinking for a while.

"The lord's decision is very good."

After discussing the matter, Yang Tao and others went back to the guest room early to rest.

But when he returned to the room, Yang Tao couldn't sleep, so he opened the built-in forum of the game to see if there was any valuable information in the forum. Speaking of which, Yang Tao has been busy with villages and tasks these days, and hasn't visited the forum for a long time.

After randomly browsing the forum, a post called "The Mysterious Horse Team in Nanpei City" attracted Yang Tao's attention. This was a post posted by a player named I Love Carrot. The post not only included the route and pictures of the horse team, but the player also analyzed that this might be a large-scale mission. Since the horse team appeared in Nanpei City, many spies from player forces have entered Nanpei to inquire about information, but no one has discovered the existence of the mission yet.

There are many comments from people at the end of the post, and many players have seen the horse team entering the city.

Yang Tao searched in the forum and found that there were quite a few posts about the Nanpeicheng Horse Team. Most of them believed that a large-scale mission was about to appear. Since the Horse Team appeared, many people have been staring at the courtyard, and some of them found out the manor that the Horse Team entered. This manor is the manor of the Sun family, a powerful manor in Nanpei.

As Yang Tao read out more and more posts, Yang Tao always felt that the disaster victims had a lot to do with the horse team, but he couldn't think of any connection for a while.

In the next few days, while Yang Tao was investigating the incident of the victims, he also sent someone to investigate the information of the horse team. However, except for knowing that the government only gathered the victims together and did not distribute food to the victims, he could not find any valuable information. Although there were some new posts on the forum, most of them were speculations and no basis.

After a few days, players who still had no gains seemed to have lost their enthusiasm, and the forums had fewer posts about Nan Peicheng. It was only when Yang Tao saw a post that he confirmed that the horse team was indeed related to the disaster victims.

This post was also posted by the man who called me to love Luobo. In the post, he said that he saw the people in gorgeous clothes who got off the carriage a few days ago appeared in the abandoned town where the victims gathered. However, these people only brought a small number of guards and put on civilian clothes to the abandoned town. Therefore, no one noticed these people. I love Luobo and saw that they behaved strangely. After taking a random picture, I accidentally found that these people were people in the horse team. Yang Tao found the pictures of the people in the horse team in front of Sun's mansion and the people in the abandoned town. It was really these people. But Yang Tao was wondering what these people were going to do.
