Chapter 21 Public Indignation
Some hunters stood up and resisted, but there was a change in them, and the servants quickly put the knife on the neck of the old man.

"If you move again, I'll kill them!"

Although the yamen servants may not necessarily be their own children, but there are only a few families in the village, and no matter whose children they use as threats, the effect will be the same.

Sure enough, the erupted Orion saw the young and old being pinned down, so he could only shed his strength and submit obediently.

And now, they finally understood why the yamen servants recruited all the old, weak, women and children from the village.

As long as the family and relatives are in the hands of the fifth prince, who will be a deserter?

However, what makes them even more sad is that when it comes to war, who is not afraid?No one wants their homes to be destroyed!
If the five princes conscripted the soldiers with emotion and reason, there would definitely be a lot of people who took the initiative to stand up and defend their homes, but the five princes chose the most extreme means.

This shows that the fifth prince doesn't trust the people in his city at all!
The news that the entire village of Orion Village was exiled went away like this.

It was not even midnight, and most of the families in the city had already packed their bags, ready to join the refugee team and go south.

Anyway, waiting here is death, it is better to go south.

However, there is a curfew in the Seven Cities of Xuanwei, and the city gates are closed at Zishi and will not be opened until Maoshi.

But for some reason, the gate of the city was opened at the time of Chou that night. Before the people in the city could go out, the refugees who surrounded the city took advantage of the chaos to rush in and loot it.

Whether it is a shop or a private house, it is patronized wherever the eye can see.

The residents who were robbed didn't stop them. They took their wives, children, and children, carrying their food, and poured into the refugee circle and followed them out of the city.

In short, three of Xuanwei's seven cities were in chaos at once.

At that time, Uncle Qiu's family happened to go hunting in the mountains, and when they came back, they watched people from a village being dragged away by officers and soldiers.

What surprised Uncle Qiu even more was that another small group of people came to the village in Zhuantou.

Although they were wearing casual clothes, Uncle Qiu had seen a few of them before, and they were also from the yamen!

As soon as they came over, they immediately searched away all the valuable and edible food in Orion Village.

That movement is as skillful as if you often do the job of copying the house.

As for whether the things they took away were filled with military pay or private pockets... it is not known.

"The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old." Qiu Da looked at the group of people who left and said bitterly.

Uncle Qiu also shook his head and sighed: "If it wasn't for helplessness, how could the untouchables enter the mountains and become bandits? It's not that the common people are happy to be bandits, but that the officials forced the people to rebel."

Uncle Qiu's family waited until the moon was in the sky to confirm that there was no more noise in the village, and then they brought the family in, packed all the useful things left by the yamen servants, and turned back to the mountain.

I can't stay here for a moment.

Uncle Qiu knew a deserted path, so he led his family to run there.

Unexpectedly, just after arriving at the foot of the mountain, he heard footsteps behind him. He thought it was chasing soldiers, but it turned out to be the three of Bai Sasha.

In this way, the first nobleman of Baiju Kingdom and the most ordinary mountain family met.

After listening to Uncle Qiu's explanation, Bai Junjun only felt that his family was really lucky.

"Thanks to the blessing of the mountain god."

Thinking of what happened to the fellow villagers, Uncle Qiu felt endlessly sad.

Seeing Uncle Qiu's sad face, Bai Lingyu sensibly changed the subject: "Uncle Qiu, where does this road go?"

Sensing the childish kindness, Old Uncle Qiu replied with frowned eyes, "This road ends at Beihe."

"Crossing the river is Biluo City?"
