Chapter 568: Cant warm the hearts of the people under lockdown
"Have you attacked all the shopkeepers?"
Thinking about the word Deyuan, no one in Qilin Kingdom knows who its owner is. Not to mention the eldest son Wu, he is the hidden boss in the first place. Is Prince Min not of high rank or has lost his prestige?
What happened almost at the same time, Qi Baoer didn't know yet, but not only King Min, but also King Li, the son of the eldest princess, had become a bandit.
"Little Master, please run away, I see something is wrong with those people." Her IQ was not up to par at the moment, so it didn't feel like a normal search for a thief.
Qi Baoer did not respond to her, but sat silently in Ruyan's eyes, actually letting go of his consciousness to 'see'.
It was indeed wrong, the yamen servants were real yamen servants. She had seen these yamen servants in the past few days, but the things these people did now... were not in line with their status as yamen servants.
The division of labor is clear. Some of the government officials rush the guests to the lobby on the first floor, while others go into the unoccupied guest rooms and rummage around. If there is anything valuable, they carry small items on their bodies, while large items are brought in big cloth bags that they have obviously prepared in advance.
Pack.
If any of the guests were unwilling to leave or walked slowly, they would be beaten or kicked, and some even had a knife used.
Looking towards the lobby on the first floor, I saw that many guests had already been rushed here, crowded together with either fear or suppressed anger on their faces;
The shopkeeper and a dozen waiters were blocked inside the counter by a yamen servant with a single unsheathed knife. The shopkeeper's abdomen was injured and seemed to be in a coma. The two waiters were crying while wrapping strips of cloth around his waist and abdomen.
The other waiters also had more or less injuries on their faces or hands.
This was no longer an ordinary attack, but a knife without regard for life.
Deyuan is a serious businessman. If there is no solid evidence that he has committed a crime, the government will not be able to justify his trip.
Unless...those people are confident that their actions will not be spread.
"It's up to the third floor, it's up to the third floor." Ruyan hurriedly walked in through the wall again.
After Qi Baoer was silent for a while, he opened the window and jumped to the roof.
She was short, wrapped in a black cloak and leaning towards the chimney, so she couldn't even notice that there was anyone here until she got closer.
After coming up, I couldn't hear the screams, screams and roars of the government officials in the inn, but these sounds were still there. In the Deyuan Restaurant next to the Deyuan Inn, there were nearby businesses that had closed their doors, and there were still a lot of people in the distance.
Residential buildings in the area...
The birthday gift given to Concubine Li by the prefect was stolen??
This reason is really very strong.
She disappeared in a flash and then appeared again. She was already on the roof of a courtyard in the city.
This certain person, to be precise, is the residence of the prefect of Fengcheng.
I thought that the prefect's residence would be very lively at this moment, but I never thought that it would be eerily quiet here.
It was almost ten o'clock at this time, so it was understandable that no one was walking around in the corridor, but it was unreasonable that there was not even a night light.
His consciousness covered the entire courtyard, and he finally saw the prefect's family being injured, tied up, or thrown away in the woodshed of a small courtyard in the backyard.
The injured person was the head of the family, Comrade Qian Wenlian, the magistrate of the city. His head was wrapped in white cloth, and there was blood oozing from his forehead. He was half-conscious, leaning against the wall with his eyes narrowed and a dull look.
Those who were tied up were several adults, several of whom were leaning against each other, and lying on the floor next to several sleeping children.
The only other butler who was also injured moved closer to Magistrate Qian and said, "My lord, my lord."
Magistrate Qian did not respond, but his dull eyes rolled slightly.
Seeing this, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he wasn't stupid.
But the tone of his voice relaxed and he raised it again within a moment, "Sir, what should we do next?"
The incident happened so suddenly, almost everyone present was caught here in their sleep, without giving them any chance to react.
He and his Excellency were the only two people who were not carried directly from the bed, but they were also unaware. At that time, he was accompanying His Excellency in the office, and suddenly a group of government officials who were familiar with each other in the past rushed in.
, without saying a word, he took the rope and came to tie them up.
Under such circumstances, their natural instinct was to resist, and then, he was kicked and fainted. When he woke up, he was already in the woodshed, and the adult fell next to him with his head covered in blood.
Magistrate Qian finally turned his eyes to the housekeeper and said helplessly in a hoarse voice: "Old Ye, this time..."
Butler Ye understood and wanted to smile, but his chest hurt too much, so the smile on his face was not comforting, but rather ferocious.
"Sir, all the old slaves are here."
He was born into the Qian family and had been following the master since he was a child. When the master was about to go on a foreign assignment, the master transferred him to the young master. The young master also used him very highly and took him with him wherever he went.
This is the trust that the master and the young master have in him. As a son of a family, it is a blessing to be in such a situation.
If something happens to the young master, he should clear the way for the young master.
Qi Baoer collected his consciousness and did not bother the master and servant who were separated by life and death.
Wujin is gradually rising, but it cannot warm the hearts of the people in the closed city.
Ordinarily, the current disaster areas in the three continents in the south are just a city closure and a search, which will not cause too much panic among the people. After all, wherever there is a disaster, chaos will follow.
It's just that since the city was closed, the government has dealt with it in a very timely manner, and because the predecessor of Magistrate Qian had the foresight to dig ditches to resist flooding when the city was closed, the disaster itself was not too serious.
No, no matter how difficult it is outside the closed city and how miserable the people are, the people in the closed city have always been quite stable, so the sudden arrival of the government can scare the people in the city, and it is easy to close their homes.
, many of them have been hiding in their bedrooms since last night and dare not come out.
This is the situation in the house where Qi Kang'an and Prince Li entered.
Both of them are talented people, and you can tell if someone at home is breathing.
Prince Li pointed in the direction of the master bedroom, then pointed to a room in the east wing, and silently mouthed: 'Six people over there, three people over there.'
Qi Kang'an nodded without saying a word.
Both of them were like thieves, well, they were no different from thieves at the moment. They weighed their feet and moved silently behind the firewood pile in the corner of the courtyard.
After sitting down and hiding their bodies, they finally let out a sigh of relief, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Both of them were very embarrassed at the moment. They didn't expect that the city was so tightly defended. There were several posts and posts everywhere on the city wall, and patrols were everywhere in the city.
Fortunately, they dispersed at first, and the two of them were hiding here and there. The target was not big, so at least they were safe now.
However, this is not a long-term solution, and both of them feel a little heavy.
Qi Bao'er, who was clinging to the wall, was a little stunned. It had only been a few days, but these two people had actually made themselves so miserable!
"Shh~"
The two men, who had been so nervous all night, were so frightened by the sudden catcalls that they almost screamed.
After they saw who it was, they all let out a sigh of relief.
