This is also the reason why the people in the inn want to leave—they can't go out, and they can't provide them with food, do they want to starve to death here?

Previously, they lived on the dry food stored on Zuo Nan and the guards, but when the dry food ran out, Zuo Nan and the others began to take risks, secretly ran out to buy rice and noodles at a high price, and then came to the inn to cook them, and they only lasted for several days.

After this, Sheng Changning also knew that after the epidemic began to spread, the grain merchants in the city began to sit on the ground and raise prices, and in just a few days, the price had increased more than ten times.

But every time the grain is released, it will be snatched up.

The people were so hungry that they would rather have more money than starve themselves to death in the city.

And now, although Zuo Nan is silent, Sheng Changning also knows that their silver is running out, and it is unrealistic to go out to buy rice.

None of them were sick, and the only way to solve such a predicament at the moment was to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Sheng Changning made up her mind, she needed to discuss it with Zuo Yan and them, in fact, it was much easier for the guards to get out of the city, but it was Sheng Changning and them who had no kung fu all around.

Now that the city has been sealed, Qiu Cheng must be heavily guarded, and he must think of a perfect strategy.

Bai Lu finished speaking with the guards outside, and the noisy and noisy scolding came into her ears, becoming more and more clear, she didn't know what she had glimpsed, and her hands began to tremble in panic, and she hurriedly closed the door again, blocking the sound outside.

"Princess ......"

Bai Lu came back quickly, and found that Sheng Changning was already dressed neatly, sitting in front of the table, she was grinding the ink inkstone by herself, at this time, I don't know what she wanted to write.

Bai Lu remembered what she had just seen, her face turned two points pale, her attention was scattered, even if she was next to Sheng Changning, she didn't realize that Sheng Changning was studying ink by herself.

"There's something going on out there."

Sheng Changning finally put down the inkstone in her hand, she rubbed her wrist that was a little sour, this body was still not stretched, it was too delicate and weak, and it couldn't be bitter at all.

She knew that those people outside were making trouble, but seeing Bai Lu's strange appearance, it could be seen that the outside was more and more excessive than the previous ones......

Hearing Sheng Changning ask, Bai Lu's heart shook, and his face turned a little pale, but he still said: "No, it's nothing, it's just that some people are clamoring to go out, the slave maid saw it for the first time, so it scared me......"

This is indeed the first time Bai Lu has seen this kind of situation, the first few times the inn made trouble, she was either sick or recuperating, and she had not been able to witness it with her own eyes, so it was reasonable to explain it so much.

But Sheng Changning is exquisite, where is it so easy to fool, since she asked out loud, she just noticed that things outside were not ordinary.

"Say."

Sheng Changning's head never raised, her words fell lightly, but they were as heavy as a golden pot, and they were so heavy that Bai Lu's heart was about to breathe.

Bai Lu hurriedly told the truth.

"The slave and the slave maid saw with their own eyes that the son of the wing room was holding a knife, and said that if the shopkeeper did not give him any more food, he would strip the slave...... of meat, come and eat ......"

Bai Lu stammered, but there was obvious and unconcealable panic in her tone, and when she said the back, she was about to cry: "The shopkeeper refuses to come up, that son...... It's really a knife down, and it's alive, alive, and ......."

At that time, when the boy was cutting the flesh, it happened that she was talking to the guards, and when she turned her head, she saw that the piece of flesh with the blood had fallen to the ground, and the ground was dripping with blood, and the screams of the cut slaves were still ringing in her ears......

Hearing this, Sheng Changning had already frowned, and there was no need for Bai Lu to continue, she already knew what was going on.

There was a bright stunned look in her eyes, Bai Lu saw it, thinking that Sheng Changning was frightened by her words, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Princess, don't be afraid......"

Sheng Changning's twisted long eyebrows never let go, she shook her head gently, she wasn't afraid, she just felt incredible.

Qiucheng is already a big city on the rich side, no better than Xunyang City in the Northern Wilderness, the people in the city encounter this situation, not to mention calm and self-controlled, but at least they will not wave their knives at each other!

If they can't, then what's the difference between them and the beasts who changed children and wives in the war hundreds of years ago? Not to mention that at that time, people's lives were more difficult and difficult, and now, it is just a epidemic that will spread to people, and it has driven people into such madness.

Is it the distortion of human nature of a few people, or is it that the people of Dachu are like this now, but she doesn't know?

Sheng Changning raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Lu, only to see her hanging her head, looking timid, and I didn't know if she was really frightened or thinking about something unrealistic.

"Call Zeyan up and stop the bleeding for that servant." Sheng Changning closed his eyes and ordered to go down.

Bai Lu immediately responded.

Sheng Changning closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps of the little girl, and it was not difficult to guess what Fang Cai Bai Lu was thinking.

The person who made a fuss outside just now, that ruthless move, may have frightened the servants, don't you really think that she is also such an unscrupulous master?

Sheng Changning smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After two lifetimes, if you want to talk to her and don't suspect each other, it should belong to Anan and Bei.

Obviously, she also treated Bai Lu and Lixia the way she treated them, but she couldn't find that feeling anymore.

The feeling of being both a master and a servant and a friend is gone.

The door of the wing room was gently pushed open, and it was not Bai Lu who came in, but Zuo Nan, who was called.

As soon as he came in, he first hugged Sheng Changning with his fists, Sheng Changning glanced past him, and suddenly found that this person was getting thinner and thinner.

But thinking about the situation of staying in the inn in the past few days, he understood that Sheng Changning's mind to leave became more and more determined.

These days, Zuo Yan secretly climbed the wall of the inn and went out, and used the rice and noodles bought with silver money to support a group of people, which was actually not enough.

Therefore, in order to ensure that everyone can eat food, they boiled the grain rice into porridge, but every time the soup bowl in Sheng Changning's hand was filled with porridge without any soup - they wanted her to eat more.

But these guards are all men with strong blood, how can they get if they don't eat enough day after day? Everyone was losing weight at a rate that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Thinking like this, Sheng Changning felt a little guilty.
