Chapter 121: Doubts
"It's just so normal that it's weird." Su Jing looked at Zhuo Yi and shook his head helplessly.
The streets of the city are very clean, and although there are few pedestrians, they are all neatly dressed and ruddy, and they have not been flooded at all.
Zhuo Yi slapped his head at this time, and suddenly said: "My subordinates understand, this Pingkang County is the hardest hit area, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of victims in the city, but there is not even a flower here, on the contrary, we met more victims on the way here, but what my subordinates can't figure out is that this city looks okay, these victims don't come to Pingkang City for refuge, why do they have to go all the way to Kyoto, and this disaster is so serious, Pingkang County is a county with a large population, as far as we see those people are only a small part, where did the other victims go." ”
"That's the problem, it seems that there is a problem with this Pingkang County Order." Su Jing's eyes were different, Rao was holding an ordinary face, and this look couldn't help but be intimidating: "Let's go, go to the city gate and have a look." ”
As he spoke, the two of them strode towards the city gate.
As soon as he reached the city gate, he saw a soldier guarding the gate arguing with a ragged man, who was obviously a victim of the disaster, and was accompanied by a woman with a thin yellow face who was also in tattered clothes, holding a girl of five or six years old in her arms.
"Official, please let us in, my child is sick, and if you don't see the doctor, you will die." The man begged.
"No, you can't go in, don't blame me for being rude if you don't leave." The guards at the gate had a very bad attitude and resolutely refused to let them in.
The man stood at the gate of the city and looked at the clean and tidy streets of the city, his eyes were full of envy, and then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please, let us in." ”
"If I don't leave, I'm going to do it." The soldier guarding the gate was about to pull out the official knife hanging from his waist.
"There's no reason left, why can't we go into the city, we just want a way to live."
"The county commander has an order, and the victims are not allowed to enter the city, in case you disturb Lord Qincha, a hundred lives will not be enough to compensate, so don't leave quickly."
"Master, this is what the county order of Ma did, how can they splash dirty water on you, not to mention that their attitude towards the victims is too much." Zhuo Yi said angrily with a cold face, no one dares to do this even in Kyoto, these people are really bold.
The two were about to step forward, when a skinny boy rushed out of the oblique corner, about eight or nine years old, he quickly ran to the man, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, if you want to live, don't go into the city." ”
As soon as he put down his words, he ran away, and the faces of the two soldiers guarding the door changed greatly: "Quick, catch him, don't let him run." ”
As soon as he raised his voice, a patrol of soldiers not far away soon chased after him.
The man was suddenly stupid, although he didn't know whether what the child said was true or not, but he didn't dare to enter the city, so he picked up the woman, took the child in his arms and ran away while there was a gap.
"Master, what's going on?" Zhuo Yi was dumbfounded, and before he could figure out when it happened, he heard Su Jing say coldly: "Find that child." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go." After saying that, he didn't delay, and chased in the direction where the boy disappeared.
Unlike those ordinary soldiers, he was a secret guard trained in this area, and tracking down and finding people was just a piece of cake, and the boy Zhuo Yi brought it to Su Jing in about a quarter of an hour.
"Let go of me, who are you, what are you arresting me." In the gap between the boy's struggles, a pair of eyes looked at Su Jing and Zhuo Yi vigilantly.
"Get him something to eat." Su Jing commanded.
Zhuo Yi let go of the boy's hands when he heard this, and he didn't tie him with a rope, so he didn't worry about him running away at all.
After a while, he brought a few hot buns and a water bag.
When the boy saw the fragrant buns, his eyes lit up, and he only hesitated for a moment, and then devoured them.
"Drink some water." Zhuo Yi frowned and handed over the water bag.
After eating the buns and drinking water, the boy burped loudly, and the eyes that looked at Su Jing were less hostile, but he was still a little vigilant.
"What is your name, and what do you mean by what you said to the man at the gate?" Su Jing asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Xiao Lian, I don't know what you say, I didn't say anything just now." A trace of fear crossed Xiao Lian's eyes, and he staggered back two steps back, almost falling to the ground.
"Master, don't be so fierce to children, let your subordinates do this kind of thing." Zhuo Yi said with a smile.
Su Jing glanced at him coldly, but still stepped aside.
Zhuo Yi's smile froze on his face, and he wanted to hit himself in the mouth, when did he become as mouthy and tongue-in-cheek as Jiang Yan......
"Your name is Xiao Lian, don't worry, the big brother is not a bad person, but there are two questions I want to ask you, as long as you answer well, wait for the big brother to buy you a few more meat buns that have just come out of the pot." Zhuo Yi said with a smile.
The trick of deceiving children, Su Jing hooked his lips with disdain.
"Really?" Hearing that there were meat buns, Xiao Lian couldn't help but be a little moved: "Then you ask, but you are really not bad people?" ”
"This big brother can promise you." Zhuo Yi smiled more gently.
"Okay, then you hurry up and ask, I'm going back."
"You tell the big brother why you said that to that person at the gate of the city just now, and besides, the flood here is so bad, why there is not a single refugee in the city."
Xiao Shui glanced at Zhuo Yi like a fool: "You are from out of town, right?" ”
Zhuo Yi was stunned for a moment, nodded, and casually found an excuse: "Yes, we are merchants passing by here." ”
Xiao Bolt looked at him from head to toe again: "No wonder you can come in, if you dress like that person, you can't come in." ”
"Why is that?"
"I'll tell you, but you can't say I said it."
Zhuo Yi nodded solemnly again.
"You may not know that there are many victims in this city, I heard that the Qin mission is coming here, the county commander blocked the city gate a few days ago, did not allow the victims to enter the city, and also drove all the original victims in the city to the city god temple in the west of the city and locked them up, so many people were locked together, and a little food was given every day, and many people were already starving to death." Xiao Lian said and looked more and more angry.
Su Jing's face suddenly became extremely ugly when he heard this, he only felt that something was wrong, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing that lost his conscience, and asked in a deep voice: "You escaped from inside?" ”
