Great Ye Empress

Chapter 166 Shop
Li Nanyu was trembling with anger. If he would rather starve to death, he would never do such a thing.

"The people take food as their god! It's really a Jedi... People are no longer human. As long as they can live, as long as they can stutter, they are willing to do anything!" The old steward sighed.

Xie Yunchu admitted this.

Xie Yunchu's back stiffened, he raised his head, and his dark eyes were gloomy: "Opening a restaurant, this strategy is also very vicious! People... have always chosen the easiest way to do it as long as they can survive."

"Compared to having no food at the moment... It is much simpler to be unarmed to rebel and seek a way to survive, to let the relatives die, or to die and let the relatives live."

"They intend to let the people kill each other. When everyone wears out, no one can rebel again! Even if the rebellion is small, it is easy to clean up the situation. As he spoke, his fists clenched and rattled, "In the future, these people will only report the number of people who died in this disaster relief... just a number!"

Even, those people can use the reason of suppressing the rioters to make another profit...

Li Nanyu didn't expect this level of what Xie Yunchu said. After listening to Xie Yunchu's words, he felt goosebumps on his arms.

"How can people's minds be so vicious?! Just for the money, human life is like a mustard in their hearts!" Li Nanyu stood up excitedly.

"You can say this because...you are the second son of the Li family in Longxi, and your family is huge, so you never lack these!" Xie Yunchu spoke slowly, unaware that he did not call Senior Brother Li Nanyu.

Ji Jingci lowered his eyes, raised his teacup, stared at his own reflection in the shaking tea soup and said, "Tomorrow morning... Qingfeng, you take your guard and Hu Liulang to go to the Cairen shop in the county to watch for a day."

Xie Yunchu clenched his fists, stood up and said, "Yes!"

Li Nanyu glanced at Xie Yunchu and said with Ji Jing, "Master, I'm going with Liu Lang!"

Ji Jingci nodded: "The two of you are away from home, and all actions are under Qingfeng's advice. You must not make decisions on your own to avoid danger."

"Yes!"

Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu saluted and said yes.

That night, Xie Yunchu did not sleep well.

This has not yet arrived in Qinzhou, and it is already an image of hell. The Qinzhou that Ji Jingci had been to before...I don't know what it looks like.

Early the next morning, Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu went out with Qingfeng and the brigade guards.

This time, Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu did not ride in a carriage or horseback, and went on foot.

Along the way, black, thin and hungry people walking in twos and threes are looking for food on the street before dawn...

Seeing the mighty group of Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu, they were so frightened that they dodged, for fear that they would be caught and eaten.

Qing Feng had already arranged to invite Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu into a restaurant.

The manager of the restaurant had already bought it at a very low price, and there was no one in it.

Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu were sitting by the window on the second floor.

When the window is opened, you can see the vegetable shop with lanterns hanging under the eaves behind.

This Cairen shop was opened on the most prosperous street in the county before, and it was undisguised...bright and upright.

The steward in this county has long since come, and he has also followed.

The old man stood aside and whispered to Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu: "In the beginning, when the government started to open this store to sell meat... it was very expensive, but in order to survive, there is no way... you have to buy it! People! They sold their land and houses when they couldn’t support it at first, so they used their children to come here in exchange for meat! Only later did I find out that the meat they ate... It was those refugees who escaped from the famine and failed to escape.”

Xie Yunchu clenched his fists tightly, unable to drink the tea in front of him.

"After the people knew that they were eating human flesh before, they seemed to have no bottom line... They started catching people who were single on the street, or people who were weaker than themselves to eat!" The old steward frowned.

"The refugees were caught and turned into dishonest people, so the refugees can't go to Bianjing!" Li Nanyu clenched his fists tightly, "There is no chance to file a grievance."

Xie Yunchu looked down at the tea soup in front of him...

Therefore, the people here do not have the courage to escape!
They were afraid that even if they escaped, they would be caught and eaten by others.

Start eating human flesh and break through the bottom line, then there will be no bottom line...

Capture the weak and cannibalize, is this a man or a beast?
"No! Father, please don't send your mother to Cairen's shop! Please send me to Cairen's shop! Please, father! Please..."

The anxious cry of the child could be heard downstairs.

Xie Yunchu and Li Nanyu turned their heads and looked downstairs.

I saw a ragged and hungry boy, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old knelt in front of a man and a woman and kept kowtowing to his father.

The woman was not pulled, as if willingly.

The scrawny black man stood still with tears in his eyes.

The boy hugged his father's leg: "Dad! The three-year-old nephew was sent to this shop, and the sister-in-law and sister were also sent to this shop! I can't send my mother in anymore!"

Following behind the man, the woman who was too thin and inhumane cried and hugged her child...

"Second child, this is all voluntary by mother! Good boy, your father and your elder brother are strong and able to protect you through this famine! Mother also survived this way when she was a child!"

"No! No! No! Dad! Say something!" The boy cried heart-to-heart, "I am the most useless in our family! I should be the one to go!"

"Good boy! Mother's death... It's better than our family's death! I just hope this famine can be over soon... You and your elder brother can live!" After the woman finished speaking, she pushed her son away, "His father, I entered this restaurant, please... no matter how hard it is, don't send the second child in!"

The red-eyed man nodded.

"Mother! Mother!" The child saw that his father was going to take his mother into the restaurant, and rushed forward and hugged his father's leg, "Father! I'm going! I'm going! I'll exchange meat for our family, beg Don't send your mother in!"

Li Nanyu couldn't help standing up, but was held down by Qingfeng.

Thinking of his master's advice, Li Nanyu sat back, only to see his younger junior brother's face becoming more and more gloomy.

The man grabbed the child who was as big as Xie Yunchu and was out of breath, and said hello to the distance, "Boss, take your brother home!"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked out from the corner with tears on his face. He hugged his younger brother and watched his mother turn back and give them one last look, before walking into the shop resolutely.

The boy choked and called out, "Mother..."

　The first one, ask for a monthly ticket!
