Heavenly Dao Formula

   Chapter 612 Another Listener

  ...

  Listening to the biting sound of khaka, Luo Qing knew that these people hadn’t eaten normally for a long time.

  Changkang Town is the Youzhou granary, and Qianrencheng is not far from Changkang. The grain reserves should be considered one of the best in Youzhou. In the event of a famine, there is absolutely room to help 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 in a mosquito-like voice, "I shouldn't have used your baggage idea."

   "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 are you from?"

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

  "Where's your family? How can you leave 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 wanted to go home and have a look. What does it mean that it is dangerous to enter the city? 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 only not allowing people to enter the city casually, but also changing guards. They became armored. 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 your big sister, they might make things difficult for them, and they might even... "

  Speaking of this, he closed his mouth.

  The other children nodded in sympathy.

  Changed a group of rulers? Luo's thoughts turned lightly. These people may not know the drastic changes that took place in the Gyeonggi court, but she did know-the prince ascended to 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 can be powerful. It is certain to fall into the hands of the alchemist.

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

  According to past experience, turmoil is bound to happen, 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 it only happened after the children were living in Qianren City.

  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 that they don't let people enter the city casually, so who can go in?" Luo asked gently curiously, after all, there are always more opportunities for mixed meals 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 it must be paid per person."

"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 likely to pay for it a year. Can't make so much money! This can't be said to be a heavy tax, and it's 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 man has been investigated strictly, and all trying to hide in the carriage or cargo The people who passed through the box were found and killed by them, and their 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 should 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 previous Qiguo court!

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

  She thinks it is necessary for her 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.

   "Huh? Do you want to bring outsiders there?"

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

   "There are no hotels in this place. Do you want your benefactor to sleep in the wild?"

   "Okay... I agree."

  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."

The expression    also made the children look away for a while.

  Finally, under Li Le's urging, 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 empty, and I didn't see a few. The figure of an adult, don't they live here?"

"The rich go to the city, and those who don't have money are as close as possible to the city wall. Only people like us will wander around the periphery of Qianren City." Li Le honestly replied, "There were indeed some adults with inconvenient hands and feet who lived before. Here, but as there is less and less food, 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 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. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com They have endless food and endless nectar. They just need to join the Salvation Church. , You don’t have to worry about being hungry anymore. Those adults ran west just to rush to them."

  "Salvation Church?" Luo repeated it in a low voice.

"Yeah, we are actually waiting for them to come to Qianren City." Someone yelled, "Brother Li said, everyone has thin arms and legs. They can't beat robbers or beasts on the road, so instead of taking the risk. Looking for them, it's better to just wait for them here. If the rumors are right, the Salvation Church will sooner or later 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? And the savior is not an extraordinary person. It seems 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 outside world has the power to save everyone."
