Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 668
The person captured by Dahei was pushed into the iron gate, which then slowly closed.

The people inside crowded at the door one by one, with anger or despair on their faces, they tried to rush out, but as long as anyone came forward, they would be greeted with a whip, and the head would be beaten bloody.

"Once this door is closed, this will be our tomb! Don't be afraid, everyone, rush out together, as long as you rush out, there will be a way to survive!"

"Even if we can't survive, we will disturb Shengjing's peace!"

"They don't treat us as human beings! Let's fight them!"

Seeing that the gate was about to be closed, some leaders raised their arms and shouted, and rushed out first with something to do, while the commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, who was guarding closely beside him, saw that the situation was going to be chaotic, so he came down immediately, and whoever rushed forward would be beheaded immediately .

There were three or five leaders, whose heads rolled to the ground the next moment they passed the iron gate.

Blood sprayed everywhere, and most of the people in the Shannian camp were old and weak women and children, and they backed away in fright.

Several corpses were thrown into the cremation pit again, and the fire burned even more vigorously.In the dim light of the fire, the heavy iron door was slowly closed, and there was no anger or despair in their eyes, only dead silence.

At this time, something fluttered down from the sky. I thought it was ashes, but I reached out to catch a piece, but it turned out to be snowflakes.

Looking up again, there is no bright moon hanging high, and it is replaced by billowing dark clouds.

"It's snowing." Xue Changfeng was silent for a moment and asked, "It's getting colder and colder, can they survive this winter?"

Zhou Lihuai sighed, "The disease was caused by good thoughts, but the emperor didn't give treatment to the imperial hospital or provide a prescription. Is his attitude already obvious? Death from starvation, death from freezing, or death from illness is nothing more than one of the three."

"How about a few hundred people who are alive..."

"In the eyes of the imperial court, these hundreds of people are probably worse than ants."

The iron gate was closed, as if closing the entrance to hell. When they turned around, they saw the lights of thousands of families in Shengjing, a peaceful and prosperous world.

As they walked outside, the lights became brighter as they walked, and the farther they walked away from the miserable wailing of the Shannian camp.When they walked to the long street, the Shannian Camp also disappeared from sight, as if they had really sunk into hell.

And the white snow also covered up the dirt. As long as you don't dig deep, you won't find that the bottom is dirty.

Liu Yunxiang thought of something, looked at Zhou Lihuai and asked: "The boy on the street just now suddenly foamed at the mouth, convulsed and died, is it really an epidemic?"

Zhou Lihuai tilted his head and said amusedly, "The imperial court said it was an epidemic."

"But the disease came by coincidence."

"It's like dysentery, but it occurs more often in summer and autumn, and it's rare in winter. It's not difficult to treat, but so many people need to be properly resettled, clean food, and a lot of medicinal materials. The court is overwhelmed, so it simply ignores it."

Liu Yunxiang still thought it was a coincidence, but he was only suspicious.

"If it's an epidemic, then those stationed outside, and some soldiers had contact with the people inside, but none of them got sick." Yan Mu said.

"Although dysentery is an epidemic, as long as you wash your hands frequently and eat clean food, it is not easy to be infected." Zhou Lihuai said.

Yan Mu just said it casually, and Zhou Lihuai explained it like this, so he didn't think about it any more.

As the snow fell harder and harder, Xue Changfeng hugged his shoulders and flinched, "Anyway, it's a long night, and it's no fun to go home. The wine shop in front is still open, let's go in and have a few drinks to cheer up the fun?"

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang over, warmed her somewhat cold hands, and twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "The night is long, what's the point of drinking, why don't you spend more time with my wife."

Liu Yunxiang blushed and leaned into Yan Mu's arms.

Seeing them like this, Xue Changfeng said angrily: "Who doesn't have a wife, what are you proud of!"

Yan Mu snorted, "You didn't."

"I... I don't think women are troublesome!"

"So the night is long, and you can only drink to pass the loneliness."

After finishing speaking, Yan Mu ignored Xue Changfeng who was about to jump in anger, and pulled Liu Yunxiang away first.

"With a daughter-in-law, I forget about my brothers, how disrespectful!" Xue Changfeng yelled at Yan Mu's back, then turned to look at Zhou Lihuai, "Brother Zhou, let's go, let's drink."

Zhou Lihuai smiled embarrassingly, "Brother Xue, I have to go home too, my wife is still in confinement, as a husband, I can't stay home during the day, and go back drunk at night, that's not good .”

As he said that, Zhou Lihuai saluted Xue Changfeng with his hands clasped together, then hurriedly turned around and slipped away.

Xue Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad for the heavy snow all over the sky, the empty long street, and him alone.

"I also want to marry a wife and have a family."

Regarding the matter of Xiao Shuanzi, Xue Hefeng had to let go.

In the next few days, Xue Hefeng refused to go to court or leave the house on the grounds of illness, and when Xue Changfeng came to the door, he dismissed him on the grounds that he was too ill to see guests.

Seeing that Xiao Shuanzi's case was about to be judged, and it was only a few days away, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help being anxious.

When Liu Yunxiang went to the ration shop sometime in the morning, seeing the old prince sitting inside and smiling at her thieves when she came in, she had a premonition that she was going to suffer again.

"I want a hundred shi this time." The old prince said straight to the point.

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "We have plenty of food, just prepare the money."

"I am an imposing prince, and my family is rich, so I am not short of money." As he spoke, the old man took out a very old money bag from his patched sleeve pocket and threw it on the table.

Liu Yunxiang only glanced at it, and didn't need to count, "You must have made a mistake, it's not enough."

The old prince stared wide-eyed, "You count it carefully, enough."

Liu Yunxiang put his hands up and said with a faint smile, "Not enough."

The old prince slapped his lips, "Our family can't settle accounts too cleanly. We still use the price last time, one hundred yuan per stone."

"Right now the price of food has risen to 160 yuan. Since you always said that you are a family, I have to think of the family's affection, so it is 150 yuan."

"My love is worth ten dollars?"

"No matter how much, I want to sever this relationship with you."

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, "The imperial court sealed off the Shannian camp. At least one meal was given at noon, but I only found out when I went there yesterday that the porridge was thin and clear, and the steamed buns could be rolled in a small bite. The people inside were so hungry." I screamed. I stepped forward and looked in through the square opening, and the scene inside was really... really horrible, starving one after another!"

"I just thought that even if I gave them an extra steamed bun every day, maybe a few more people could be saved."

"Nephew and granddaughter-in-law, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I still begged for this little money from a few old guys, and it's just a little bit of shame."

Liu Yunxiang was silent, and said: "You are a dignified Shunping King Qin..."

"Without money and power, there is no title."

Seeing that the old man was rubbing his hands, he still had the arrogance he had when they first met, Liu Yunxiang heaved a long sigh.

"Well, one hundred renminbi is just one hundred renminbi, but the [-] shi won't save you for a few days. If you come back in the future, the price will still be the same, but I can't always lose money."

The old prince nodded, expressing his understanding, "Then what do you want?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then please write me an IOU."
