Heavenly Dao Formula

...

Hearing the gnawing and gnawing sound, Luo Qingqing knew that these people hadn't eaten normally for a long time.

Changkang Town is the granary of Youzhou, and Qianren City is not far from Changkang. The food reserves in Youzhou should be regarded as one of the best, and there is absolutely room for relief in the event of a famine. However, 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 in a mosquito-like voice, "I shouldn't have thought about your luggage."

"It's good that you know you're wrong." Luo Qingqing already understood why this person possessed many qualities that were not similar to gangsters or refugees. He has clearly received a certain amount of education, and his original family must have no worries about food and clothing. If there were no sudden changes, he should still be sitting by the window sill, reading those classic books. And a month is not enough time to erase all these qualities.

They still have a chance to get back on track.

The other children who finished eating the bread also became active, "Big sister, where are you from?"

"Your eyes look gray, can you really see clearly?"

"Where's your family? Why are you traveling alone?"

"If big sister wants to go to Qianren City, it's best to find a coachman to take her in. It's too dangerous to enter the city alone."

This sentence aroused Luo Qingqing's interest, "I am originally from Youzhou, this time I just want to go home and have a look. What does it mean that it is dangerous to enter the city? Is it safer inside the city than outside it?"

"The city is definitely safe... at least there are no robbers who can threaten them. But..." Li Le hesitated for a long time, "But Qianren City seems to have changed a group of officials and lords, not only to prevent people from entering the city casually, but also to guard the gate. It was also replaced by armored men. This group of guys killed without blinking an eye, and sometimes they would take the initiative to enter the houses outside to arrest people. For a beautiful person like you, big sister, they might make things difficult for you in every possible way, and even possible……"

Having said that, he shut his mouth.

The other children nodded in sympathy.

A new set of rulers? Thoughts turned in Luo Qingqing's mind. These people might not know about the drastic changes that took place in the Gyeonggi court, but she did know - the crown prince ascended the throne as a puppet, the six ministries of the imperial court were completely replaced by the Privy Council, and the replacement of the local government may not be so direct, but It is certain that the real power falls in the hands of alchemists.

The problem is that the Privy Council was completely defeated by Jin Xia.

According to past experience, turmoil will definitely occur, but most of them occur in remote places. For a big city like Qianren, the ruler should stick to the city, either vowing not to surrender 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 the changes mentioned by the other party obviously happened after the children were exiled to Qianren City.

Judging from the time point, the local Privy Council should have completed the takeover of the power of the city at this time.

"You said they don't allow people to enter the city casually, so who can enter?" Luo asked curiously, after all, there are always more opportunities to make a living in the city than outside.

"Wealthy people can." Li Le muttered, "To enter the city, you need to pay a city entry tax of twenty taels of silver, and you have to pay it on a per capita basis."

"Twenty taels of silver per person?" Even Luo Qingwei showed a hint of surprise. In other words, an ordinary family of three would have to pay as much as sixty taels of silver if they wanted to enter the city, and they would probably spend a year. Can't make that much money! This is no longer a heavy tax, it is no different from robbery.

"By the way, big sister, do you have so much money..." The other party looked her up and down, "If not, you must not even think about sneaking in. People in armor are strictly checked, and anyone who tries to hide in a carriage or They found and killed all the people who passed the customs in the cargo boxes, and their bodies are still hanging at the gate of the city."

So the dead branches I saw were dried corpses? The strange smell that appeared at that time was actually the rancid smell emitted by the dead?

This is simply ridiculous!

Luo slightly felt a wave of anger rising in his heart.

The gate of the city should be a place to show the city's style, just like the gate of the mansion, but now the ruler has turned it into a execution ground to intimidate the people, and its governance methods are not as good as the Qiguo court in the past!

In terms of order, this is undoubtedly the worst order.

She felt it was necessary for her to find out what had happened to the city's management that had led to this situation.

"Big sister, anyway, the gate of the city is closed today, why don't you stay in our house for one night." Someone among the children said.

"Eh? Are you going to bring outsiders there?"

"But she gave us food, so she can't be regarded as an outsider?"

"There is no hotel in this place anymore, do you want your benefactor to sleep in the wild?"

"Okay... I agree."

the children whispered.

"What do you think?" Li Le started, "Anyway... I have no objection."

"In that case, then I won't shirk." Luo slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Please lead the way."

This expression also made the children distracted for a moment.

Finally, under the urging of Li Le, everyone turned around and walked out of the alley.

"Where's the adult who fled here?" Walking through the residential area, Luo Qingwei discovered a new problem, "Just now I followed all the way, and I saw that many houses seemed to be vacant, and I didn't see many houses. The figure of an adult, don't they live here?"

"The rich go to the city, and those who have no money try to stay as close to the city wall as possible. Only people like us will wander around the periphery of Qianren City." Li Le replied honestly, "It is true that there were some adults with handicap living in the city before. Here, but with less and less food to eat, they all ran to the southwest."

"I remember that there is no such big city as Qianren City in the southwest." Luo said lightly. To the west of Youzhou is the mountain range separating Qi and Xu. The mountains are full of miasma, and it is impossible for ordinary people to climb over them.

"But there are rumors that God has sent people to save the world, and they have gathered a large number of people in the west of Youzhou. They have inexhaustible food and inexhaustible nectar. As long as they join the Salvation Cult, they will no longer have to worry about being hungry. Stomach. Those adults ran west, just wanting to join them."

"The Church of Salvation?" Luo repeated in a low voice.

"Yes, in fact, we are also waiting for them to come to Qianren City." Someone yelled, "Brother Li said, everyone has thin arms and thin legs, no matter they encounter robbers or wild beasts on the road, they can't beat them, so instead of taking risks, go to Qianren City." If you want to find them, you might as well just wait here and wait for them to come. If the rumors are true, sooner or later the Salvationist religion will spread all over the ten states!"

"Does anyone believe this?"

"But I heard that not only the residents outside the city, but even those in armor are discussing when the savior will come." Li Le emphasized, "Their news will not be as closed as everyone else's, right? And the savior is not extraordinary , seems to have appeared in the Privy Council's prophecy long ago, what do they call it?"

He showed a pensive expression.

"It seems to be... the listener." The boy who was cornered before said.

"Yes, the listener." Li Le clapped his palms vigorously, "Only this kind of person who can hear the voice from beyond the sky has the power to save everyone."
