Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 450
The heavy snow covered the red lanterns, leaving only the eye-catching white.

In Yancheng, the excitement of the New Year is gone, only occasional figures will pass by in the streets and alleys.

Nanzhi took Lin's father and Lin's mother to the city lord's mansion, and no matter how much they refused, they did not agree.

The disaster has begun.

She couldn't put her parents in danger.

The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

The silent city of Yan suddenly became noisy again.

The big households in the city packed their bags and set foot on the road to the capital with their servants.

Without exception, the four major families of Yancheng lined up dozens of carriages from the street to the end of the alley, just to let the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate.

Some curious people quietly poked their heads out of the window, just wanting to see the scene outside the city clearly.

The city gate was closed for several days, and they never saw the scene outside the city again.

The servant of the He family looked at the closed city gate, rubbed his hands together, and ran towards the guard at the gate.

"This official, please open the city gate, my master is going out of the city."

As he spoke, he made a gesture to hand over the silver ingot in his hand, but was frightened by the cold face of the guard.

"The city lord has ordered that Yancheng is closed and no one is allowed to go out."

"Officer, we are the He family. My master wants to go back to the capital to visit relatives, so please be accommodating."

"I said, the city lord has an order, no one is allowed to go out."

The guard looked serious, just staring at the front, not responding.

"you--"

The servant wanted to say something more, but seeing the frost forming on their bodies, he could only swallow the words in his mouth.

"Whose servant are you?"

When Liu Jie came down from the city gate, he saw dozens of carriages lined up at the gate of the city, and then he saw the person who turned to leave, so he frowned and asked.

Hearing someone questioning, the servant was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around to greet him.

"My lord, I am a servant of the He family. My master wants to go out of the city to visit relatives in the capital. Please help me."

Liu Jie looked him up and down, and then at the chariots and horses behind him.

"Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and it's snowing heavily again. I'm afraid it's not suitable to hurry. If Mr. He wants to go back to Beijing to visit relatives, it's better to wait until the new year is over."

Liu Jie didn't directly say no, but only tactfully discouraged.

"Sir, this..."

The servant looked embarrassed and hesitated, how could his master not know these things?

But now there are rumors everywhere, such as today's catastrophe, Yancheng was squeezed out by several other big cities, if you don't escape, I'm afraid you will end up starving to death in the city.

If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the city!
These news also came from outside the city. If it was false, his master would not leave so soon. Now that he has packed his bags, it is natural that he should leave this place as soon as possible.

"I'll trouble you to go back and talk to Mr. He. If he insists on leaving, we naturally have no way to force him to stay."

Liu Jie nodded, and only asked him to go back and communicate.

"Eh."

The servant thought there was something to be done, so he ran back in a hurry.

Seeing that the gate of the city was still closed when he came back, the housekeeper of the He family was a little displeased, and only asked in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"Housekeeper, the errand said that it's snowing heavily today, so it's not suitable to travel far, let me come back and pass on..."

"Nonsense! We are not blind, how can we not know how big the snow is?"

"Then the errand said that if we insisted on leaving, they would not force us to stay, but let me come back and say something."

Hearing what he said, the He family steward's expression froze, he never thought it would be so smooth.

In the past month, there have been rumors in Yancheng. Everyone said that Yancheng was the first place to be abandoned after the palace change. Logically speaking, the city owner shouldn't let these merchants leave.

"The gatekeeper said that the city lord had an order not to let anyone leave the city, but the one who came later, he said, would not force them to stay. Steward, let's"...

The servant hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should send a message or not.

"Go and tell the errand we're going out of town."

The steward rolled up his sleeves, stared at the closed city gate and said.

Now that they can still leave Yancheng, it is natural for them to go as soon as possible, and they must not make troubles.

"Eh."

The servant nodded, and ran towards where Liu Jie was.

"Officer, I would like to trouble you for your convenience."

"Let's go then."

Liu Jie nodded towards the guard beside him, with some imperceptible sarcasm on his face.

Let's go, I just don't know if these people can make it to Kyoto alive.

He came back half a month ago with his convoy, so he naturally knew what was going on outside the city.

If these people stayed in the city, they might still be able to survive. Whether they would be devoured by those rats after going out was a question.

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, revealing the scene outside the city.

The square that was originally flat is now covered with nearly three-foot-high snow, and the lush forest has only dead branches and fallen leaves.

I have been away for a long time, but now I just look at it like this, and I can't tell which side is the road.

"please."

Liu Jie looked indifferent and motioned for them to let them go.

The He family's faces darkened when they saw the scene in front of them, but when they remembered the letter their master had received, they could only grit their teeth and drive the carriage out of the city.

"Big Brother Liu..."

The guard guarding the gate looked at Liu Jie, unavoidably a little puzzled.

The city lord clearly said that no one should be allowed to leave the city.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for the accident alone." Liu Jie patted him on the shoulder, looked at the thick frost on his brows and eyes, and sighed inwardly.

Their food is enough, but it is not enough.

Enough for the people in the city to survive this winter, but not enough for them all to survive.

They couldn't see or guess about natural disasters. What they knew was that no land in the Xia Kingdom was spared, and there was no way to grow food.

I don't know how long the heavy snow will fall, and the people in Yancheng don't know how long it will last.

If there are fewer people in the city, the chances of other people surviving will be greater.

As for those who left, whether they could survive was their own creation.

Young Master He was in a daze in the carriage, and Madam He's eyes turned red.

"My dear, why are you bothering! You have come to such a point for a woman!"

Mrs. He was angry, but she couldn't vent it on her son.

"Mother, it's the child's fault."

Young master He lost his former handsomeness, and could only lean against the car window.

"Let's go to the capital, marry whoever you like, don't do this again!"

Mrs. He's eyes were red, but she couldn't say anything else.

In the past few months, the situation of my son has always been up and down. Sometimes he would read books and talk to them when he was sober, but sometimes he seemed to have lost his soul, just staring at the sky in a daze.

Let's go to Beijing!

Even if he wants to marry that woman, he can do it!
