Chapter 430: The Troublemaker (1)
Tang Yuan broke through the internal strength and hurried with Xiling Lan, still a little out of breath and out of breath.
"Princess, you wait here first, and the slave maid will go and see first."
There are more than 10,000 victims outside the West Gate, this encirclement, at least thousands of people are unbearable, it is not easy for Tangyuan to squeeze in, besides, the victims are dirty, the smell is big, if she comes forward to squeeze back the smell, it is not good to smoke the master.
So, the glutinous rice balls performed light exercises, stepped on the heads of the victims, and went in to see the situation.
It turned out that a victim had died, and the city defense army on duty wanted to drag the body away, burn and bury it, but the family was unwilling to burn it, so they desperately stopped it and prevented people from dragging the body away.
"Whoever wants to stop my old mother from going to the ground to make peace with her might as well kill our family...... cough, cough, cough...... We finally fled to Kyoto, and the refugees on the road said that when we arrived in Kyoto, we would be fed, and we were also responsible for using ox carts to deliver food and clothes back to our hometowns...... But my mother finally supported her here, and she didn't even drink the hot porridge, so she went! ”
"I didn't say anything when I went, I haven't heard of burning people's corpses, doesn't this make my old mother unsafe when she is buried in the ground? cough cough cough ......"
It makes people sad and crying, everyone is a disaster victim, and everyone understands this feeling.
Some onlookers chimed in, "That is, it is said that the crown princess gave an order that after a person dies, it must be burned......
"Cremation of corpses is said to be inauspicious, affecting the feng shui of future generations, without the care of ancestors, the family is not prosperous, and the men are thin......"
"But no, it's not a demon, why do you have to burn the corpse? Hey, this family is so pitiful, let the family find a piece of land to bury the old mother with peace of mind. ”
"According to what we said, we have so many disaster victims, we should send representatives to fight with their army, we are also the people of Chu Feng Country, why don't we go into the city? Only placed outside the city? It's contemptuous of us! ”
"Yes, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I have been longing for a long time, and now that we are at the gate of the city, why don't you let us go in and have a look?"
……
And when he had spoken, all the people began to relent.
The so-called lack of people's hearts snake swallows elephants in this way, at first only for food and clothing, now food and clothing have been solved, and extravagantly want to go further, this is all people's hearts, Xiling Lan can understand, these people are full all day long and have nothing to do, gather together, it seems that it is not a long-term solution, and they must forcibly return to their hometowns.
And the voice that proposed just now to send representatives of the victims to fight with the army made Xilinglan a little familiar, where had you heard it?
However, at this time, and more importantly, this new family of victims cannot stay.
Xiling Lan summoned a patrol and forcibly dispersed the onlookers quickly.
The only one of the victims on the ground was a young couple, about twenty years old, the woman was still holding a sleeping five or six-year-old filial piety in her arms, and the man was crying bitterly and holding the dead old mother to prevent the sergeant from dragging him away.
Xiao didn't sleep very peacefully, his face was pale, his lips were green, and he coughed twice from time to time.
The complexion of this family is extremely poor, accompanied by coughing, and then looking at the dead old mother, who is so thin that her skin is full of bones, and the whole person is black.
Xiling Lan secretly said that it was not good, the family didn't know where it came from, this was a symptom of the plague, and it was still more serious, and someone had already died.
