Kapitel 97: Absurd Thing

In Qingzhou City,

'Hungry... officials... Can you give us some food...'

'Even if you don't, can you at least let us die in peace...'

In the city, there is a place specially designated to detain those who profited during this famine.

At this moment, these people are already emaciated, a pitiful sight to behold.

The officials on duty nearby, however, act as if they don't see them.

Among them are members of the Bai family and some government officials.

Now they are experiencing the suffering that the common people felt before.

Up to this point, they have been starving for eight days.

If it weren't for two servings of thin porridge in between, they might have died already.

But even if they are still alive, they probably won't survive much longer.

These people are locked up outside, in the city, visible to the common people.

So, it's quite normal for the occasional stone to be thrown at them.
