After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Chapter 357 You Are Too Ruthless
"Don't burn it! Don't burn it!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Water! How much water is there in the tank?"

……

The thunderbolt cannon in Jin Qiyue's hand is unusual.

This is the inspiration that Helan Linzhang got from Luo Xiyao. He found a skilled craftsman to add white phosphorus to it.

Thunderbolt artillery blasted the lifeless night, and the village where the corpse was placed fell into flames in the blink of an eye.

The sound of "clank" was endless, and the officials guarding the people drew their swords one after another, but they were ordered to prevent the people from stepping out of the fence.

How terrible the epidemic is, the common people know better than the nobles.

They have no money and no contacts, and they almost only die when they get sick.

When they had no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth, the official sent came.

The officials arrested all the sick people, but did not kill them, but locked them up and did not allow their relatives to contact them.

Every day at noon, there are doctors who cover their heads and faces, and there are cooks from the military camp to deliver meals, but more and more people die of illness.The same is true for the cook, from delivering food once a day to two days... Gradually, the village surrounded by the wooden fence gradually became devoid of living people, and the doctor and cook did not have to come again.

But here, it is not that no one is alive.

People who are not sick cannot be put into towns, let alone into cities.

On the contrary, many sick people in towns and cities were sent out one after another.

It's not that the trapped people don't want to leave.

At first, I was reluctant to part with my loved ones.

They knew that the epidemic was terrible, and as long as the officials didn't kill them and treated them, they could bear it.

Isn't it just not letting you out of the house?
There are still vegetables to eat in the vegetable field at home. Fortunately, it is not winter, the vegetables grow fast, and I can eat other things when the food is gone, and I will never starve to death.

But the food sent by the government was delayed, and some of them wanted to leave.

At this time, it is no longer a question of whether they want to, but whether they can.

The scope of activities in the village is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more people. Gradually, there are shacks on the small roads.

They are all from nearby villages.

Although I can't name many of them, I have seen them all when I went to the big fair, and they look familiar.

Some people knew it was not good and wanted to sneak away at night, and more people wanted to take another look.

The next day, they were terrified when they saw the fleeing man being hung up.

Those who believe in Buddhism recite the Buddha's name every day, and those who believe in pray to the Taoist ancestors every day, hoping that the epidemic will pass quickly and give them a way to survive.

Fortunately, when a relative dies of illness, the village head will get the news and tell the village that when the government opens the gate, they will be able to take back the relative's body for burial.

Regarding the matter of a small road, if the guards did not allow them to probe their heads, some people could see the dead village opposite through the window, and saw their relatives who carried them there with their own hands, talked and laughed together, and held hope together.

Even if their loved ones are away, they still have hope.

But what do they see now?
fire!
The temporary Yizhuang is no longer dead silent, after a few "bang bang bang", it is full of flames.

They have lost loved ones and cannot afford to lose their dead bodies.

After being buried in a sea of ​​flames, how can he be buried in the ground?

This will not work!no!

They took pots and pans filled with water and pushed the door out. The scorching flames distorted the air in front of their eyes, but they could still see the cold light of the knife in the officer's hand.

"Go back! Go back!"

"Cut the trespasser!"

"Folks, we fought with them!"

"Fight!"

When Ding Zhen heard the movement, he was surprised and said: "There are still living people?"

The thin man didn't pay attention at first, until the officers and soldiers surrounded them with torches, he heard the noise in another dead village in the darkness.

Just because he knew that when Luo Xiyao said to set fire, he would throw the thunder cannon.

Sure enough, someone made a fuss.

He had seen the corpses here, and the number of these corpses definitely exceeded the number of people in the village.

So, where did these corpses come from?

Someone inside the city walls must have reacted and brought the sick or dead people here.

As with the dead, so with the living.

People who have been in contact with sick people will definitely be placed nearby.

Chen Yongnian narrowed his eyes, and immediately ordered people to suppress the rioting people, and they must not be allowed to rush out of the second gate.

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Princess Helan, your heart is too cruel."

Luo Xiyao clasped her hands in her sleeves, raised her head slightly to look at the man on the horse, the light from the flames illuminated the emblem pattern on his light armor, she said slowly: "The governor is also a military officer of the fourth rank. What's the matter? The governor has never killed anyone, or has he never seen a dead person, so he said such incomprehensible words. People die like lights out, I just give them a relief, I really don't know what the governor is talking about? "

"What's going on?" Bai Yanwen knew that the garrison of Crescent Moon Town had stopped Luo Xiyao and his party, and immediately rushed over with them.He looked around in a daze, and seeing that everyone was covering their heads and faces, or covering their mouths and noses, he quickly lifted up and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened it and poured it into his mouth.

The smell was wrong, and Bai Yanwen suddenly realized that what Luo Xiyao set fire to was the corpses that had contracted the disease, so the people who made a fuss must be relatives of these people.He raised his finger to Luo Xiyao, and shouted: "Luo Jiuniang, you are not human!"

Luo Xiyao turned her head, glanced at him contemptuously, and said coldly: "Emperor Dongqi bestowed a marriage on me and Helan Linzhang, and announced it to the world. You are just a prince without a title, and you are still lower than me in terms of rank. Don't think that you can disregard dignity in the territory of Dongqi! I, Luo Jiuniang, am the princess of Helan Linzhang, the Seventh Prince of Mobei!"

Bai Yanwen glared at Luo Xiyao bitterly, "Publicity? You made people set fire to your body because of your humbleness? What? When you married to Mobei, you abandoned your identity in Dongqi and forgot the customs of Dongqi? The governor is right, you are too ruthless! How many family ties have been burned? How many people’s hopes have been burned? You know that they hope that their relatives can recover and return home, even if the cure is not good, they You also want to bury your loved ones who died of illness, but what did you do?"

Luo Xiyao said awe-inspiringly: "The second prince's eloquent words are useless. If you really feel sorry for the people, why would you park the corpse less than a mile away from the living? Do you know that the wind can blow the epidemic away? I am Princess Mobei, I They're also from Dongqi. I saw it, so I can't let you fool the common people like this!"

She glanced at the people who rushed out of several fences but still failed to get close and lost their water ladles and were pushed to the ground, and said: "I have seen weeds growing in many fields along the way, but I can see It can be seen that these lands have been carefully tended by people. It can be seen that the people living here are good at farming. Farmers can look at the sky when they are farming. Even if I don’t understand these things, I know that the wind and rain are coming. , the diseases here will flow out in the rain, they will flow into the soil and streams, be absorbed by the crops, eaten by livestock, and finally... people here will fall down one by one until there is no grass. This is Second Prince, how do you feel about the common people? Watching them die?"
