Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 651: Another listener
Chapter 612 Another Listener
……
Listening to the chucking sound, Luo Qing knew that these people hadn’t eaten normally for a long time.
Changkang Town is the Youzhou granary. Qianren City is not far from Changkang. The food reserve should be one of the best in Youzhou. In the event of a famine, there is absolutely room for relief to the victims. But judging from the status quo, the government has not assumed this responsibility.
"That...big sister, thank you." Li Le suddenly bowed his head to her with a mosquito-like voice, "I shouldn't have thought of you for luggage."
"It's good if you know that you are wrong." Luo Qingqing has already understood why this person has so many traits that are not like gangsters or refugees. He has clearly received a certain degree of education. The original family must have no worries about food and clothing. If it were not for a sudden change, he should still be sitting in front of the window sill, reading the classics. And one month is not enough to erase all these qualities.
They still have a chance to get back on track.
The other children who have eaten the noodles also become active, "Big sister, where did you come from?"
"Your eyes look gray, can you really see things clearly?"
"Where's your family? How can you drive alone?"
"If the big sister wants to go to Qianren City, it is better to find a coachman to send in. It is still too dangerous to enter the city alone."
This sentence aroused Luo Qing's interest, "I was originally from Youzhou, but this time I just want to go home and have a look. What does it mean to enter the city is dangerous? Isn't it safer inside the city than outside? "
"The city is definitely safe...at least no robbers can threaten them. But..." Li Le hesitated for a long time, "but Qianren City seems to have changed a group of officials, not just not allowing people to enter the city casually. The guards guarding the gate were also replaced by armored men. These guys didn't blink their eyes when they were killed, and sometimes they would take the initiative to enter the private households outside to arrest people. For a beautiful person like you, they might make things difficult for you. , Maybe even..."
Speaking of which, he closed his mouth.
The other children nodded in sympathy.
Changed a group of rulers? Luo's thoughts turned gently. These people may not know the drastic changes that took place in the Gyeonggi court, but she did know-the crown prince took the throne as a puppet, and the six branches of the court were completely replaced by the Privy Council. The replacement of the local government may not be so direct, but It is certain that the real power falls in the hands of the alchemist.
The problem is that the Privy Council was completely defeated by Jinxia.
According to past experience, disturbances will definitely occur, but most of them happen in remote places. In a big city like Qianren, the ruler should stick to the city, either swearing to the death, or waiting for the succession of the next king with peace of mind. However, the current situation does not seem to conform to the above two types of conventions.
Because of the changes mentioned by the other party, it was obvious that they only happened after the children were in Qianrencheng.
From the perspective of time, the local Privy Council should have already completed the takeover of power in the city at this time.
"You said they don't let people enter the city casually, then who can go in?" Luo asked gently curiously, after all, there are always more opportunities to eat in the city than outside.
"The rich can do it." Li Le mumbled, "You need to pay an entrance tax of twenty taels of silver when you enter the city, and you have to pay it per capita."
"Twenty taels of silver per person?" Even Luo Qing showed a hint of surprise. In other words, an ordinary family of three would have to pay as much as 60 taels to enter the city, and they are very likely Can't make so much money in a year! This can no longer be said to be a heavy tax, it is almost no different from robbery.
"By the way, big sister, do you have so much money..." The other person looked at her up and down, "If you don't have one, don't even think about sneaking in. The armored people are very strict, and all try to hide. The people who strayed in the carriage or the cargo box were found and killed by them. The bodies are still hanging at the gate of the city."
So the dead branch I saw was a dried corpse? The faint smell at that time was actually the rancid smell from the dead?
This is ridiculous!
Luo lightly felt an anger rise in his heart.
The city gate is supposed to be a place to show the style of the city, just like the gate of a mansion, now the ruler has turned it into a torture ground to intimidate the people, and its governance methods are inferior to the Qiguo court in the past!
In terms of order, this is undoubtedly the worst order.
She thinks she has to figure out what has changed in the city’s management, which led to the situation as it is today.
"Big sister, the city gate is closed today anyway, or you can go to our house and stay for one night." Someone among the children said.
"Hey? Do you want to bring outsiders there?"
"But she gave us food, can't you be regarded as an outsider?"
"There is no hotel in this place. Do you want your benefactor to sleep in the wild?"
"Well...I agree with it."
The children whispered.
"What do you think?" Li Lepian began, "Anyway...I have no opinion."
"If that's the case, then I won't shudder." Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Trouble and lead the way."
This expression also made the children look away for a while.
Finally, at the urging of Li Le, everyone turned around and walked out of the alley.
"Where are the adults who fled here?" Walking through the residential area, Luo Qing found a new problem again, "Just chasing all the way, I saw that many of the houses were vacant. Seeing a few adults, don’t they live here?"
"The rich went to the city, and those without money were as close as possible to the city wall. Only people like us would wander around Qianren City." Li Le honestly replied, "There were indeed some inconvenient hands and feet before. The adults live here, but as there is less and less food to eat, they all ran to the southwest."
"I remember that there is no big city like Qianrencheng in the southwest." Luo said softly. To the west of Youzhou is the mountain range that separates Qi and Xu. The miasma grows in the mountains, and there is absolutely no possibility for ordinary people to climb over.
" But there are rumors that God has sent people to save the world and gathered a large number of people in the west of Youzhou~IndoMTL.com~ They have endless food and endless nectar. Just join the Salvation Church. , You don’t have to worry about being hungry anymore. Those adults ran west, just trying to defect to them."
"Salvation Church?" Luo repeated it in a low voice.
"Yes, we are actually waiting for them to come to Qianren City." Someone yelled, "Brother Li said, everyone has thin arms and thin legs. They can't beat robbers or beasts on the road, so Rather than risk finding them, it’s better to just wait for them here. If the rumors are right, the Salvation Church will sooner or later spread across ten states!"
"Does anyone believe this?"
"But I heard that not only the residents outside the city, but even the armored men are discussing when the savior will come." Li Le emphasized, "Their news will not be as blocked as everyone else? And save the world. Those who are not extraordinary people seem to have appeared in the prophecy of the Privy Council a long time ago, what do they call it?"
He showed an expression of contemplation.
"It seems to be... a listener." The boy who had been forced into the corner before answered.
"Yes, listener." Li Le slapped his palm vigorously. "Only this kind of person who can hear the voice of the heavens has the power to save everyone."
