After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 499 Mutual Accusations

"It's none of my business. They were the ones who started the trouble. I was also deceived by them."

In such a situation, you shirk responsibility and he also shirks responsibility, and no one is willing to admit that they were the leader.

There were also people blaming each other. He said it was because of your self-righteousness and wanting this and that that things turned out like this.

For a time, the victims turned into infighting.

But what most of the victims were most worried about was that the county magistrate would no longer provide porridge.

County Magistrate Yuan did indeed stop distributing porridge.

After hearing about the riots and unreasonable demands of the victims, he stopped distributing porridge and closed all the city gates.

Now, the victims regretted their actions and began to blame those who took the lead in causing trouble.

"This is all your fault! If you hadn't led the riot and even assaulted the constable, how could this have happened?"

"How can I survive without the porridge? You are destroying my livelihood. You are worse than animals."

The disaster victims who took the lead also regretted it.

They originally thought that after such a commotion, the county magistrate would comply with their demands. After all, they were victims of the disaster, and the county magistrate should agree with them.

Now, it is like this.

"What a bunch of idiots! We are disaster victims and we have to beg the county magistrate to save us." A disaster victim who saw clearly cursed.

"You really think you are nothing, daring to put yourself above the county magistrate. The county magistrate didn't kill you because he is kind-hearted."

Several disaster victims were cursing there.

"Isn't it? The county magistrate is an official, and we are refugees fleeing famine. If it weren't for the county magistrate's kindness, would we be alive today? We would have starved to death long ago."

"These guys dared to go against the county magistrate and even threaten him. It's ridiculous. Don't you think about your status?"

"It's the County Magistrate's free porridge and kindness these days that have made these idiots think they are above the County Magistrate and can do whatever they want here."

The group of disaster victims were scolded until their faces turned red, but they also came to their senses.

How could they forget that they fled here to escape famine and begged the county magistrate for porridge, and it was only because of the porridge given by the county magistrate that they were able to survive.

It was just because the county magistrate distributed more porridge for a few days, but they thought they were capable and dared to treat the county magistrate like that.

"What should we do now? Without the porridge, we can't survive."

"I'm not staying here anymore. It looks like the county magistrate won't be giving out porridge anymore. I'll quickly move to another place, maybe I can still survive."

Many victims slipped away overnight, but some were unwilling to leave.

These victims were worried that the county magistrate would start distributing porridge again after they left. They were also worried that there would be no porridge in the next town and their lives would be even harder.

Soon, there were many empty seats at the city gate which was originally crowded.

Seeing this, Sang Ye and Hua Yun exchanged glances.

Sang Ye whispered to the guards to pull the ox cart and other things to a farther place, and they would camp farther away, away from the victims.

The group set up camp again behind a few trees, which was a certain distance away from the group of victims and they could also see the city gate.

I don't know when Mu Baobao fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet.

Several guards went to cook and set up tents, several guards were patrolling and guarding around, and some guards were packing up.

Sang Ye and the others were talking in low voices.

"It seems like County Magistrate Yuan probably didn't want to distribute porridge anymore and was afraid of causing riots among the victims, so he used this as an excuse to stop distributing porridge," Hua Yun said.

Mu Pingping asked, "Then why did County Magistrate Yuan distribute porridge for so many days? And now he suddenly doesn't want to distribute porridge anymore. Why?"

Sang Ye guessed, "Maybe County Magistrate Yuan didn't achieve his goal, and he's running out of food, so he decided to stop distributing porridge."

"If that's the case, it means County Magistrate Yuan doesn't have such great ambitions, and he might be distributing porridge for some ulterior motive."

Hua Yun agreed, "I think so too."

"But no matter which one it is, let's wait until the guards have investigated it thoroughly. It's hard to make a judgment now."

Sang Ye said, "Yeah."

"Let's chat a little." Shangguan Quan opened his folding fan and fanned his junior sister. "These disaster victims are really stupid. They have a good life but do these things."

"Actually, it's quite normal," Mu Pingping said. "I came from the bottom, so I understand the feelings of these disaster victims."

"Most people at the bottom of society are like this. Once they get a little bit of profit, they become so proud that they forget their original intentions and even think they are superior to others."

For most people at the bottom of society, they live a hard life every day just to have enough food and clothing, and have never experienced a good life.

Once they experience the good days of having food and clothes provided for them, they will become complacent and feel superior to others.

This is the case for some families in the village.

He even heard that some families in other villages had made some money and were living a better life than before, that is, they could eat meat every few days, but they started to do what rich people did and took concubines!

After hearing this, Sang Ye and the others could understand. Isn't this just like those people who suddenly became rich and couldn't adjust their mindset immediately?

"Speaking of which, County Magistrate Yuan was also at fault. If he hadn't done this, this disaster wouldn't have happened."

"Based on this alone, County Magistrate Yuan is not a good one. With a magistrate like him in office, the people may seem to be living a good life, but in reality, they are suffering from many hidden dangers."

Mu Pingping didn't understand this, so he didn't participate in the topic.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zheng Xingguang was impatient with this. "Someone will take care of these things."

Sang Ye and the others did not continue the topic.

"Should we wake the baby?" Sang Ye said, "I'm afraid the baby will sleep too long now and won't be able to sleep at night."

Mu Pingping patted his sister a few times and said, "Baby, it's time to eat meat."

"I want to eat meat." Mu Baobao rubbed his eyes and slowly opened them. "Brother, I want to eat meat. You can't eat all the meat."

Several people laughed.

After Mu Baobao woke up, he yawned and sat next to his eldest brother: "Brother, don't we want to eat meat?"

Mu Pingping took the cup of water from the guard and handed it to his sister. "Baby, drink some water first. You'll have meat to eat later."

Mubaobao drank a sip of water and felt a little more alert. "It's so hot to sleep in this weather."

After Mu Pingping put down the cup of water, he took the wet handkerchief from the maid and wiped his sweaty face.

"It's very hot today. There hasn't been a drop of rain so far, and I don't know when it will rain again."

Sang Ye and the others looked up at the sky at the same time. Yes, when will it rain?

At this time, hundreds of disaster victims arrived.

"It's right here. I heard they're giving out porridge here, three meals a day."

"Why don't we see any soup kitchen? Are we late?"
