Chapter 765 The whole family is a rebel (49)

The departure of the crippled craftsmen and crippled beggars did not cause a single ripple in the prosperous city of Chang'an.

No one will care that they are gone.

Even the city gate guards who strictly screen out suspicious persons will frown and hold their breath after seeing their appearance clearly, and wave them away from the city with a look of disgust and impatience.

Such people who are ragged, unkempt, smelly and cannot create any value are a redundant burden to Chang'an City.

But they would not have thought that even these weak existences that they did not tolerate would erupt with power that would shake the world when they condensed.

From that day on, beggars left the city every day.

Some of them were sallow, skinny, and disease-ridden, or some were poorly clothed and mutilated. In short, everyone looked like they would not live to see tomorrow.

They are a plague, people who guard the city gates and avoid the wealthy people of Chang'an like a plague.

But now, these plagues are leaving on their own, carrying the anxiety about the future and destiny, to a holy land that only exists in legends.

They want it to be their new home.

……

Northland Palace.

Xiao Quji entered the palace. After Zhong Xing came back from an outing, he read with Jin Yan. After reading for a while, he started to feel sleepy and dozed off.

When he was about to fall asleep, he heard Jin Yan's voice, "Cousin, can you still see homeless people on the streets today?"

Zhong Xing's head suddenly cleared up.

He straightened his body, looked serious, and nodded: "It's not long. I haven't seen anyone begging on the main street for several days... I sent an informant to report. Since these days, there have been several beggars every day." Ten migrant merchants and craftsmen left."

Jin Yan asked: "With so many merchants, craftsmen and beggars leaving in such a short period of time, didn't the government take any measures?"

Zhong Xing shook his head, "There are countless people entering and leaving Chang'an City every day. The departure of a few 'ants' will naturally not cause much turmoil."

Maybe, the government is secretly rejoicing. Without these turmoils, they will no longer be punished by their superiors, and they can sit back and relax, get promoted and make a fortune.

After saying that, Zhong Xing looked at Jin Yan, "What, is there something wrong?"

Jin Yan said: "The government is the government, what about your majesty?"

Zhong Xing was stunned.

What the government wants is not what His Majesty also wants?

Do not!
Different!
Zhong Xing's expression changed greatly, "You are saying that the emperor is benevolent and does not want to see beggars appearing in Chang'an City, but he does not allow them to seek refuge elsewhere?"

Jin Yan looked at him and asked, "If it were you, would you let others know that those beggars escaped after they couldn't survive on your territory?"

Zhong Xing shook his head.

Although he is not the emperor, from the emperor's perspective, the beggar's escape is a challenge to the emperor's authority and a slap in the emperor's face.

As the emperor, how could he allow this to happen?

and so……

Zhong Xing's face darkened, he stood up and walked out.

"late."

Zhong Xing's heart sank, and he continued walking out as if he hadn't heard anything.

Looking at his back, Jin Yan picked up the book that had fallen on the ground at some point and murmured, "It's too late."

This is Chang'an.

The emperor will not leave any room for killing people.

...After Zhong Xing set out, Jin Yan immediately went to the King of the North, informed him of the matter, and sent personal guards to protect Zhong Xing's safety.

When the North King came back from arranging some things, he saw Jin Yan standing alone under the scorching sun, facing the direction of the palace, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yan'er."

The King of the North called out, but received no response.

When he got closer, he saw that Jin Yan's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat. There was no trace of blood on his face, and even his hands were cold and bone-chilling.

Just when the North King was about to carry her back to the house, Jin Yan suddenly twitched and then spit out a large mouthful of blood.

The King of the North was startled, and his eyes were about to burst.

"Somebody come!"

The King of the North shouted loudly, and after the cook and bodyguards came running, he ordered: "Go and ask the doctor quickly to get Qu Ji and Zhong Xing back to me!"

Half of the personal guards from the North were dispatched, but only an old doctor with white hair and beard was brought back.

Jin Yan had already fainted. He was watching the doctor giving Jin Yan an injection while the King of the North asked his guards outside, "Where are those two people?"

The leader said: "My subordinates sent word to the palace three times and spent a lot of money, but there was no response."

The people in the palace were so arrogant that they didn't take them seriously at all. Even if he said that his little princess suddenly fell ill and fainted, those people remained indifferent.

In the end, they pooled the money they had with them and bribed some people before someone agreed to pass the message on their behalf.

However, they waited and waited. They did not wait for the second young master, but they did wait for those people to drive him away with arrogance.

Another person said: "My subordinates took people outside the city. They only saw corpses everywhere. They couldn't find the young master, so they asked others to continue searching. I came back to resume my life."

The King of the North looked very ugly, "There are corpses everywhere?"

The personal guard nodded, "Most of them were naked and mutilated people. They all died from random arrows. Some of their bodies were still hot, and some of them were already skeletons."

Even those who had fought on the battlefield felt some uncontrollable discomfort when they saw such a tragic scene, let alone the ordinary people who found another way to pass by.

Listening to the guards' narration, the King of the North didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until the maid came and said that the doctor had prescribed the medicine that some color appeared on his face.

The old man had treated Jin Yan's brother and sister before. Knowing her physical condition, he said to the King of the North: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. This little princess's body cannot withstand the anger that attacks her heart!"

The King of Beidi already knew why Jin Yan was angry. He suppressed his anger and said to the old man: "Sir, my granddaughter fell ill because of a recurrence of an old disease. Please don't remember it wrong."

The old doctor's expression changed slightly, and then he nodded heavily, "I am confused. My old illness has relapsed and I need to rest. I will prescribe some medicine for my recovery."

After leaving the Beidi Palace, the old doctor saw a few more patients and didn't return home until sunset.

Before he could take a sip of tea and slow down, a panicked figure rushed into the house and quickly closed the doors and windows.

He is his youngest disciple.

The old doctor was about to scold him. As a doctor, how could he behave like this?
But when he saw that the disciple's face was pale, his expression was dazed, his body was not only soaked with sweat, but blood was still oozing from the torn corners of his clothes, his expression suddenly changed.

"What happened?"

The old doctor asked while checking where the disciple was injured. Finally, he took his pulse and handed him the tea after confirming that he was not injured.

The disciple took the tea, but because his body was shaking so much, all the tea was spilled that night, and even the tea leaves fell on him.

After a long time, the disciple finally spoke tremblingly.

"teacher."

"So many dead people."

"There were bodies everywhere."
