Chapter 668: The gate is sealed
The person who Dahei captured was pushed into the iron gate, and the iron gate slowly closed.
The people inside were crowded at the door, with anger or despair on their faces. They tried to rush out, but as long as someone emerged, they would be whipped and beaten to the point of blood.
"Once this door is closed, this is our grave! Don't be afraid, rush out together, as long as you rush out, there will be a way out!"
"Even if we can't live, we will still be in trouble with Shengjing!"
"They don't treat us as humans! Let's fight with them!"
Seeing that the door was about to close, the leader raised his arms and shouted, holding the guys, rushed out first, and the commander of the Beijing suburbs guarding next to him, as the situation was about to be in chaos, immediately came down, and who would rush forward and behead him immediately.
There were three or five leaders who had just crossed the iron gate and their heads rolled to the ground the next moment.
Blood was splattering everywhere, and most of the people in the Shanmeng camp were elderly, weak, women and children, who were so scared that they retreated repeatedly.
Several corpses were thrown into the burning pit again, and the fire burned even more vigorously. Under the dim light of the fire, the thick iron gate slowly closed. There was no more anger or despair in their eyes, only dead silence.
At this time, something fell from the sky. I thought it was ashes, so I reached out to take a piece of it, but it turned out to be snowflakes.
When I looked up again, there was no bright moon hanging high, and it was replaced by rolling dark clouds.
"It's snowing." Xue Changfeng asked silently, "The weather is getting colder, can they survive this winter?"
Zhou Lihuai sighed, "Good thoughts have caused an epidemic, but the emperor did not treat the Imperial Hospital or came up with a prescription. Is his attitude very obvious? He starved to death, freezing to death, and illness to death, is nothing more than one of the three."
"How many hundreds of people are alive..."
"In the eyes of the court, these hundreds of people are probably worse than ants."
The iron gate closed the door, as if it was closed to the entrance to hell. When they turned around, they saw the lights of thousands of families in Shengjing, and the peaceful and prosperous era.
They walked out, the more they walked, the brighter the lights became, and the further they walked away from the miserable wails of the Shanmeng Camp. When they walked on the long street, the Shanmeng Camp disappeared from their sight, as if they had really sunk into hell.
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 and looked at Zhou Lihuai and asked, "The boy on the street suddenly foamed at the mouth and died of convulsions. Is it really an epidemic?"
Zhou Lihuai tilted his head and said funny: "Didn't the court say it's an epidemic?"
"But this epidemic is a coincidence."
"It's like dysentery, but it's more common in summer and autumn, but it's rare in winter. It's not difficult to treat, but so many people need to be properly placed, clean food, and a lot of medicinal materials. The court was overwhelmed and simply ignored it."
Liu Yunxiang still thought it was too coincidental, but she was just suspicious.
"If it's an epidemic, then these soldiers stationed outside and there are some soldiers who have contact with people inside, but none of them are infected." Yan Mu said.
"Although dysentery is an epidemic, as long as you wash your hands frequently and eat cleanly, it will not be easily infected." Zhou Lihuai said.
Yan Mu just said casually and Zhou Lihuai explained this, so he didn't think about it anymore.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Xue Changfeng hugged his shoulders and shivered, "Anyway, the night is long, so it's boring to go home. The door of the restaurant in front is open. Let's go inside to have a few drinks to help you liven up?"
Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang over, warmed her cold hands, and tugged her lips slightly: "The long night is long, what's the point of drinking? Why should I spend more time with my wife?"
Liu Yunxiang's face turned red 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 shouted, "You don't."
"I...I don't think women are bothering!"
"So the night is long and you can only drink to get rid of your loneliness."
After saying that, Yan Mu ignored Xue Changfeng, who was so angry that he was about to jump off, pulled Liu Yunxiang away first.
"With a wife and forgetting brothers, I'm so unfaithful!" Xue Changfeng shouted at Yan Mu's back, turned to see Zhou Lihuai, "Brother Zhou, let's have a drink."
Zhou Lihuai smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Xue, I have to go home too. My wife is still in confinement. As a husband, I can't stay home in the daytime. I'll go back in a drunken voice at night. This is not good."
As he said that, Zhou Lihuai bowed to Xue Changfeng with his fists and quickly turned around and slipped away.
The sky was full of snow, the empty street, and he was alone, Xue Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad.
"I also want to marry a wife and have a family."
Xue Hefeng has to let go of Xiao Shuanzi's affairs.
In the next few days, Xue Hefeng did not go to the court or leave the house on the grounds of being sick. Xue Changfeng came to the door and sent him off on the grounds that he was seriously ill and unable to see guests.
Seeing that Xiao Shuanzi's case was about to be sentenced, it was only a few days before Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but worry.
When this diet was available, Liu Yunxiang passed by early in the morning. When she saw the old prince sitting inside and laughing at her terrifiedly when she saw her coming in, she felt that she was going to suffer another loss.
"I want another hundred stones this time." The old prince said straight to the point.
Liu Yunxiang smiled: "We have a lot of food, just prepare the silver."
"I am a dignified prince, and I am naturally worth noting to lose money." As he said that, the old man took out a very old wallet from his patched sleeve bag and threw it on the table.
Liu Yunxiang only took a look and didn't need to count. "You've counted wrongly, this is not enough."
The old prince widened his eyes and said, "You count it carefully, it's enough."
Liu Yunxiang held up her hands and smiled faintly, "Not enough."
The old prince smashed his mouth, "Our family cannot calculate the account too clearly. It's better to use one hundred coins per stone at the last price."
"The food price has risen to 160 yuan now. Since you say you are a family, I have to think about the family's affection, then 150 yuan."
"My affection is worth ten yuan?"
"No matter how many, I want to break this affection with you."
The old man's mouth twitched, "The court sealed the Shanmian Camp, and at least he gave him a meal at noon, but I only found that the porridge was so thin that it was so thin that it could be filled with steamed buns. The people inside were so hungry that they screamed. I stepped forward and looked in from that square mouth. The scene there was really... It was so terrible, and the hungry people were stacked layer by layer!"
"I just thought that even if I gave them one more steamed bun every day, I might be able to save a few more people."
"My nephew, my grandson-in-law, I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. I'm asking for the money from a few old guys. I'll just take this little bit of it if I'm willing to do it."
Liu Yunxiang silently said, "You are the King of Qin..."
"If you don't have money or power, you will have only a title."
Seeing that the old man was rubbing his hands, he was so arrogant when he first met, Liu Yunxiang sighed.
"Okay, one hundred coins are only one hundred coins, but this hundred stone will not be saved for a few days. You will be the same price when you come again in the future, but I can't always lose money."
The old prince nodded and expressed his understanding, "What do you want?"
