Madam is right

Chapter 533 113. Outside Yangzhou City
Zhao Mo looked at the ragged people sitting on the ground messily along the road, but he didn't stop in the end, and together with Lu Feng, he rode his horse towards the city gate.

When Zhao Mo finally saw the gate of Changhe Town, he finally understood why the common people were sitting outside the gate.

I saw a high fence erected at the gate of the city, and one end of the fence was cut into a sharp shape, facing the outside of the city.The officers and soldiers guarding the city were all armed with weapons, and regarded the refugees as scourges, guarding the gate of the city and not allowing them to approach the gate of the city.

Zhao Mo and Lu Feng rode their horses to the side of the fence. Seeing that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, the city guard ordered to open a gap in the fence that only allowed the horses to pass through, allowing Lu Feng and Zhao Mo to pass.

At this time, the fence that closed the city was finally pulled away, and some young men wanted to take this opportunity to enter the city, but just one step closer, the fence was quickly pulled back by the officers and soldiers.

Zhao Mo slowed down the speed of the horse, looked back, and finally turned back expressionlessly, and continued on his way.

Zhao Mo didn't speak, and Lu Feng couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

But since Zhao Mo didn't order, Lu Feng naturally wouldn't do anything on his own.

After Zhao Mo ate something casually in Changhe Town, he continued his journey to Yangzhou City.

In the middle of the afternoon, Zhao Mo finally arrived at Yangzhou City.What he didn't expect was that the scene he saw outside the gate of Changhe Town now appeared outside Yangzhou City.

And there are even more refugees gathered outside Yangzhou.

Unlike the refugees outside Changhe Town who just sat silently on the side of the road, the refugees outside Yangzhou City, in a sense, really looked like "refugees".

Zhao Mo didn't know how many crying people he saw along the road.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, there are some elderly people, either because they are seriously ill, or because they cannot eat enough, many of them left after arriving outside the city.

The refugees had no money or materials, so they could only pile the old man's body on the weeds. Every once in a while outside the city, someone was crying softly.

Zhao Mo frowned, and continued to go to the city gate.

Although the situation of the refugees outside the city is not the same, the guards of Yangzhou City and Changhe Town are exactly the same.

When the horse arrived at the city gate, a woman whose clothes were so tattered that she could barely cover her body knelt down in front of the city guard with a child in her arms, begging bitterly: "My lord! Please! My child will die soon!" I beg you to let us in! I beg you to let me take my child to see a doctor, please!"

As she spoke, the woman kowtowed heavily in front of the city guard, and when she raised her head, there were spots of blood oozing from her forehead, so red that it hurt people's eyes.

The surrounding refugees couldn't help but look towards the city gate, but the city guard remained unmoved.

He stood at a distance in disgust and waved his hands: "Go away! The magistrate has an order! Non-Yangzhou people are not allowed to enter the city! See a doctor?! If your child gets the plague, it will not harm the people of the whole city! Go away Go away!"

"My lord! No, no, no! My child is just typhoid, not plague! Please save him!"

The city guard didn't want to waste any more words, seeing the woman kneeling outside the city gate, refusing to leave for a long time, he became impatient for a while.

He suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, pointed at the woman and said, "My knife does not recognize anyone! Hurry up! Go far away!"
