252. Give me a death

Nowadays, Longcheng can be said to be an empty shell city, and all the people inside are no longer there. Because the previous city lord was killed, no one came here to control it. Who would be unable to live up to his life?

In this world, nine out of ten city lords are greedy, and one is a fool. Just like Nalan Meng, a city lord like Nalan Meng, is really stupid, but this stupid person is kind and moral, and is loved by the people. For Nalan Meng, it is understandable that she is stupid, and she is happy enough.

Nalan Meng thinks this way, but it does not mean that others think this way. Others are officials in the dynasty to be able to make money and make good money without considering it for the people.

It is precisely because of this that Nalan Meng unified Li Hugo's suggestion and opened the city to release grain when he entered the city. The two had some small disputes about releasing grain, which was not considered a dispute, but they just had different perspectives of consideration.

Because these grains were brought by Tianlang City and the quantity was limited, Nalan Meng suggested that the grain was released every three days, while Li Huguo Jian must be once every seven days. After all, he also had ten thousand Tianlang Guards, so it was impossible to give them all to the people here.

Relax and moderately, instead of just being a bad person.

With the comfort of food, the people have much better attitude towards the new city lord, especially the person who came is still a woman, a beauty, and a kind female city lord who considers the people. Many people have begun to turn against each other.

Li Huguo put a dou of food into an uncle's cloth bag. While he put it, he said, "Uncle, do you know how the senior city lord died?"

"It was killed by the thief Wang Laowu, but the thief was a good man, with a strong martial arts skills, and pleaded for the people to give all the money seized." The uncle said.

Li Hugo frowned: "Since you have allocated it to everyone, why is it still so poor here?"

"The wealth is not exposed, this is an iron rule. The bandits outside Longcheng knew that the people in Longcheng had money, so they came over to collect money. Because Longcheng had no lords, they were in and out at will, and no one dared to object to them. If they were not careful, they would either beat or scold them. Of course, that was quite light. I saw with my own eyes that a difficult family refused to take out the money, but was exposed by the thief. Now... everyone is blaming Wang Laowu." The uncle shook his head and said.

Li Hugo smiled and said, "Since you have done a good thing, why complain?"

"It's very simple. Although the original city lord was bastard, he had many soldiers under him. Although only 500 people, he was better than anything else? So when the city lord was alive, he levyed a lot of taxes on everyone, but it was considered time. For example, he would not kill people once a month. After all, as the city lord, he could not kill his own people, right? So although everyone was in pain, at least there was still a place to live. Although he was hungry every day, he would not starve to death. However, as the city lord died, the Longcheng would become a mess now." As he said, the uncle squeezed out two tears, "My beautiful daughter was captured by those robbers. Now he doesn't know whether it's dead or alive...you say..."

The uncle opened the conversation and the others around him also started to speak.

Across Li Hugo, an aunt carrying a basket said, "That's right, Wang Laowu is a bastard, a turtle! She will help you. Look, people starve to death every day. Many people sell their houses to exchange for some food for their lives. But after the food is finished, they can only go outside the city to be refugees... Some people have started to eat dirt. I saw a half-year-old child with his own eyes, with mud stuffed in his mouth. Oh, hey, I'm so pitiful..."

Another young man also said: "Wang Laowu is a scumbag! Now everyone is living so hard now, thanks to him!"

“Yes!”

"Wang Laowu must not die a good death!"

Many people also exclaimed, just like the passionate students traveling on the streets during the Republic of China, waving their fists and being filled with righteous indignation.

Of course this is different. The students of that era were protesting against the invaders, while the people here simply wanted to survive.

"It seems that there is no need for Master Li to poke out the horse, the murderer has come out." Nalan Meng said with a smile.

Li Hugo sighed: "This matter is complicated. A brainless person doesn't know how to act in a low-key manner. This is good, and it's a bad thing..."

"Every family has a difficult sutra, and there is no way to do it." Li Huguo handed the Dou to a maid, "Xiao Lu, come and share the food, one person, two Dous, I'll go out of the city."

"Yes, son-in-law." said the maid.

When Nalan Meng saw that Li Hugo was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Come back early."

Li Hugo looked back and smiled and said, "I know, what delicious food to cook at night?"

"Make your favorite crispy pork belly!" Nalan Meng wiped the flour on her hands, "I have to go back and prepare first. The recipe you gave me is also complicated and tight. Just this crispy pork belly. Although it is delicious, it must be marinated for an hour, then oily, and roasted... Tsk tsk... You will torment people!"

As he said that, Nalan Meng looked at Li Yuguo with gentle eyes, as if he was a wife from an ordinary family who went to the kitchen, and there was no such thing as a city lord.

Seeing that Nalan Meng and Li Hugo get along well, the people around them also see it. Just like in the same family, the relationship between parents and husband and wife is harmonious, and as children, they will definitely be very happy to grow up. This is the case in Longcheng. If the city lord and his wife get along happily, they will inevitably not only like it, but also like it very much.

But Li Hugo took a few steps and was suddenly stopped by Nalan Meng: "Wait a moment."

Li Hugo was so funny and laughed: "What's wrong? Little girl..."

"Give me that concubine's sword." Nalan Meng said.

Li Hugo was stunned: "You..."

"I learned it from others, but I also learned it. When I have nothing to do in the future, I will practice this love trick. Don't say you don't want to!"

"How dare you!" Li Yuguo said with a smile, and handed the concubine's sword to Nalan Meng with both hands.

In fact, Nalan Meng felt sorry for Li Yugo. She knew that if Li Yugo had no chance with the Yun sisters in the future, then this technique would not be able to be used. And she also wanted to use this to dilute Li Yugo's discomfort. Although Li Yugo didn't say it, as the person next to her, how could Nalan Meng not know? She understood that Li Yugo just didn't want to worry, but after she saw it through it, she pretended not to see it through and was a silly woman.

Li Huguo carried two swords, a love knife, and a cold sword in the clear water, and whistled at the city gate. Amid the screams of many children, the wolf king slowly rushed over, but unexpectedly, when he was about to get on his mount and leave, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop.

"General Li, I am guilty! Please give me a death!"

As soon as these words came out, all the common people around the city gate also looked at the kneeling man.
