Chapter 509 These beasts!

Su Muze stood up abruptly, and asked nervously, "Why are you in such a panic, what happened?" Isn't the plague under control?
I believe that the plague will disappear completely in a short time.

The officers and soldiers said in a panic, "There are too many refugees escaping from other places, and it seems that the city gate will not be able to block it!"

Su Muze frowned.

We all knew that the plague in Ningzhou was raging, and people who wanted to survive avoided Ningzhou. Now that the plague in Ningzhou has been brought under control, it is normal for more refugees to escape.

He has been busy solving the plague for a while, but he has neglected other things. The number of refugees that Ningzhou can accept is limited. Once the number of refugees exceeds the number that can be accommodated, disaster may arise.

Turning to look at the fourth prince.

"Your Highness, the city gate is blocked by refugees. If you go out now, you may be in danger."

Shen Yunyi was thoughtful.

"The plague in Ningzhou has just been brought under control, how could the news spread so quickly?"

"Approximately how many refugees are there outside the city?"

The officers and soldiers made a rough estimate.

"Probably since the day before yesterday, the number of refugees coming to Ningzhou has begun to increase. Today, thousands of people have come, and now there should be tens of thousands!"

An Wuyang frowned.

"Your Highness, for your safety, the schedule of returning to Beijing should be postponed."

Shen Yunyi narrowed her eyes.

"Let's take a look together."
-
The three of them came to the city gate with their guards, and when they looked out, they could see the crowd of refugees trying their best to push the city gate and yelling to let them in.

These refugees were sallow and emaciated, with desperation and greed in their eyes.

Shen Yunyi had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Refugees can't enter the city, but they can go to the surrounding villages. Once they have evil intentions, the villagers will suffer. It is not an option to keep them out."

An Wuyang looked sideways.

"Ningzhou has just experienced a huge plague and suffered heavy losses. It has not recovered yet. If these refugees are allowed to come in at this moment..."

Before the words were finished, everyone present understood.

Su Muze was very anxious.

"But I can't just focus on the people in the city and let the people in Ningzhou ignore it, can I?"

An Wuyang looked calm.

"You want to let them in?"

"Think about it. Once they come in, it will be difficult to drive them out. If they gather together to launch a rebellion, His Highness will also be in danger."

Su Muze was in a dilemma.

"There were originally more than 7000 people in Ningzhou City. After the plague, there were only more than 3000 people left. If it was only for the people in the city, the relief food and grass sent by the imperial court can last for two months. After these two months The common people can also slow down and restore self-sufficiency order.”

"There are tens of thousands of refugees outside. This is just the beginning. There will only be more and more people fleeing here in the future. If those refugees are accepted..."

"Food and grass won't last long."

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

A man in military uniform on a horse came from a distance, and was about to reach the gate of the city, but was pulled off his horse by the refugees.

The refugees rushed forward and covered the officers and soldiers in the blink of an eye.

It doesn't take a moment.

The refugees dispersed again. The officers and soldiers lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and all their clothes were stripped off.

Some refugees even greedily stared at the stripped officers and soldiers, staring at the meat on his body, their eyes seemed to be looking at pork, if there were not officers and soldiers staring at them...

see this scene.

Su Muze shuddered.

"These beasts!"

"That's someone from the imperial court, how dare they!"

An Wuyang looked away.

"These refugees are dehumanized by starvation and disease."

Make a quick decision in your heart.

He suggested to Shen Yunyi, "Your Highness, the best way now is to shoot and kill all the people who push the city gate, so as to deter those who have evil intentions behind."
