I want to be a good minister

Chapter 106 The Refugees Who Suddenly Disappeared

"Master, the city gate of Xuanzhe County has been closed, and we cannot enter." A guard from the Guhun Kingdom came to report. People who had already surrounded the gate, merchants who wanted to enter the city, and disaster victims who had fled from other places, crowded the entire gate of the city.

And inside the city gate, there was also a crowded crowd. The guards' investigation started in the middle of the night. When the city gate was closed, the guards frantically searched along the gates.

"How is it? Did you find Wu Yi?" Cen Xi was still worried. Wu Yi was not smart enough, but with his martial arts, he shouldn't be caught. Moreover, the second prince was still conducting a large-scale search, and apparently no one was caught. .

"Not yet, there is no news about the pirates at the mouth of Jingqi Bay. Fifth sister, Wu Yi escaped with Lu Jin at the beginning, maybe he was with them." Jun Laoqi said.

Cen Xi shook his head subconsciously, no, with Wu Yi's character, he would definitely find him.

But what Cen Xi didn't know was that Wu Yi wanted to get away and come to her again, but after being chased all night, he couldn't get away at all.

"Don't worry, our people are always watching the second prince's every move. We will know if there is any news." Seeing this, Jun Laoqi comforted him.

"Boss—" At this moment, a pirate sneaked into the inn. Most of the pirates were disguised as passers-by, and they would not show up until they were summoned.

"What happened?"

"Boss, Heliande's guards captured many refugees and sent them to his yard. I'm afraid it's not a good thing." The pirate said.

Hearing this, the rest of the people were taken aback, arresting refugees?I really can't figure out what Heliande is going to do.

"It doesn't matter, let's go and have a look before we talk—" Lu Laosan couldn't sit still for a long time, and was trapped in this inn, unable to do anything.

"Well, instead of guessing here, it's better to go and have a look." Cen Xi unexpectedly agreed with Lu Laosan's opinion.

Seeing this, Kong Xiuran nodded and said that it was not too late. They quickly put on a disguise, and a group of four sneaked into the courtyard.

Sure enough, the guards of the second prince's mansion brought refugees into the mansion one after another.

Cen Xi wondered what the Second Prince was doing to arrest so many refugees at once, and within a short time, fifty or sixty refugees were arrested.

"Could it be to catch assassins?" Cen Xi frowned slightly because of the young and strong men and women, regardless of gender. The next moment, Boss Kong led the four of them along the wall to the huge rockery, hidden Among the jagged rocks.

"Hurry up—" the guard kept yelling, and some of the refugees cried out. The next moment, the whip fell on them, and no one dared to make a sound. These refugees actually went towards the secret room.

Cen Xi was startled, there are so many refugees, there is another speculation faintly, Wu Yi said that these flints are very dangerous, could it be that the second prince Heliande's purpose of arresting these refugees is related to flints?

Sure enough, Cen Xi saw that many wooden boxes had been placed around the house. These wooden boxes were different from ordinary wooden boxes. One of the opened boxes was covered with half a box of yellow sand. He came out of the secret room, carrying the flints in his arms.

"This is Huoshi?" Boss Kong frowned and asked in a low voice, and Seventh Jun nodded.

Kong Xiuran had seen Flint from military books. This thing was produced in the Northwest Warehouse. No one would dare to sell it in the black market. Once discovered, it would be a death penalty and punish the nine clans. But no country has such a powerful weapon hidden. Even if it is very dangerous, it is necessary to keep something private, which shows the importance of flint.

"Hurry up—" There was a cold shout from a distance, a refugee held a piece of flint the size of two fists in his hand, accidentally fell down, and then heard a "bang—" In front of everyone, the refugee was blown into two pieces.

"Ah—" There was a loud scream among the refugees, and the whip immediately swung towards the screaming refugees.

"I see, if you're not careful, that's the end—" the guard snorted coldly, and the refugees were surrounded by the guards, obstinately continuing to move the flint.

Immediately afterwards, there was another muffled sound, this time there was no wrestling or collision, the two men were immediately bloody and their broken limbs were scattered everywhere.

"Continue—" The guards suppressed them fiercely, and only then stopped the panic among the refugees. There were eight or ninety people, and within a moment, six or seven people had died.

Cen Xi finally knew why the guards wanted to arrest the refugees. It turned out that the flint transportation was more dangerous than what Wu Yi said.

Cen Xi counted the boxes, there were eighty or ninety, and when he thought about the flints in the secret room, there were only so many flints. It seemed that the second prince was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he urgently wanted to transfer these flints.

"Brother, if Huoshi is so dangerous, isn't Heliande afraid of accidents along the way?" Cen Xi asked puzzled.

"Look in that box." Kong Xiuran pointed to those boxes, "The yellow sand is mixed with something that can stabilize flint, but I guess, these things are not suitable for long-term storage of flint." Kong Xiuran explained in a low voice.

In about an hour, the box was almost finished, and the refugees who had been moved were driven out of the courtyard by the guards.

"Brother, where are they going to take these refugees?" Jun Laoqi suddenly asked, and Cen Xi's heart sank. These flints are secrets, even if the refugees don't know what they are...

Before Cen Xi could finish his thoughts, he heard a tragic voice, and the four people who were hiding in the high place of the rockery clearly saw the scene in front of them.

"what--"

"Ah—" The refugees who were taken out were immediately killed by the guards as soon as they left the main courtyard. The refugees who came came realized that something was wrong and wanted to flee immediately.

"Not one left—" the leader of the guards yelled, and the blackness in front of his eyes suddenly turned black, and the blood in his eyes hurt the four people on the rockery.

In just five minutes, eighty or ninety refugees turned into corpses on the ground.

"Damn—" Third Lu held the iron ax tightly in his hand, his temples throbbed, and if it hadn't been for Seventh Jun to stop him, he would have rushed down.

Cen Xi also froze on the spot, didn't react for a long time, only now did he realize deeply what kind of concept it is to kill people like grass, it's like a heart being strangled by an invisible net, with something coming out of his chest. It's normal to rush out.

Even Cen Xi, who was obviously not killed by her, felt the guilt and panic that was overwhelming his head, as if seeing this scene was a sin, and not rushing out to stop it was a heinous crime.

"Let's go—" Seeing this, Boss Kong said, "Now we can't scare the snakes. If an accident happens to this Flint, I'm afraid it will hurt more innocent people."

"Let's go—" Boss Kong said again, and Cen Xi sorted out his thoughts from the layers of guilt, anger, and collapse.

Realizing the existence of Helian Jianxiu is no longer just her task, but Beichang's hope.

Therefore, even if it's not for the task, she still has to do it. These flints must not fall into the hands of the second prince.

She, Cen Xi, must prevent such a person from becoming the lord of a country.
