Volume 3 Chapter 152 Slaying Demons and Destroying Demons
Xinyi City is not big, but it can be regarded as a population of hundreds of thousands, how did such an important town become like this now!
Sedum has been using the trick of blinding, and no one has noticed his existence, and he slowly approaches Xinyi City, blending in with the crowd.
Most of the people around are homeless, these people have lost their land and homes, basically have nothing to rely on, most of them will naturally move towards the state capital, after all, there are many people in the city here, at least they can solve the problem of food.
The Great Jin Dynasty has been founded for thousands of years, and originally this northern land was the land of their dragons, but in the last few hundred years, there will be natural disasters and man-made disasters every once in a while, and the phenomenon of people being displaced has occurred from time to time.
Most of the displaced people around him are unkempt, and Sedum is also quite embarrassed now, he could have changed his clothes, but he didn't change his clothes in order to inquire about the situation.
"Where did you come from?" he asked a man beside him.
"I'm from Zhangquan Township, these are the ...... of our villagers!" the man pointed to the men, women and children around him.
"Why did you all come to Xinyi City?" Sedum asked.
"I can't live at home, and the land is not allowed to be planted, and many people have been taken away to work for Daxian to do coolies, and the immortal masters have said that as long as Daxian is satisfied, everyone does not have to work and farm, and everyone has meat to eat and drink......!
"Yes, yes, we will not die sooner or later if we stay at home, and those who do not obey are taken away from those who work in the fields, and the crops do not grow in the fields, even if they are watered, they will not live. Someone next to him chimed in.
Sedum was a little surprised: "Cannibalism, isn't that a monster? What kind of immortal is that?"
"Shh......hh
"Don't be so loud, we all know that the great immortal is likely to be a monster, but those immortal masters said no, who dares to say nonsense will be arrested immediately, where is this little brother?"
"Ah! I'm from Liulin Town! Our official lord there seems to believe in that great immortal, and he wants to pay tribute to the great immortal, so he sent people down to collect taxes in three days, and we can't survive anymore, so we came to Xinyi City. β
Sedum made a nonsense for a reason, Liulin Town was not far from Xinyi City, and he had seen it on the map, so he wrote it down, but his words didn't want to attract the echo of several people around him.
"Yes, yes, I'm a ...... from Xi Hao Township!
"I'm from Aoki Town, and we're ...... too!"
"In this world, the poor people are going to starve to death, and the officials and masters actually listen to the words of the immortal master and search for the people everywhere!
The surrounding crowd naturally had a bitter stomach about what happened to them, so they talked about it, and even looked a little angry.
Someone said: "Rich lords and officials don't let the people live, so they must let the court give an explanation, right?"
Someone responded: "Tell me, they all wear a pair of pants, they don't let us live, fortunately we don't let them live!"
"You're going to rebel!"
"In order to survive, you still have to take care of so much? I heard that many people have organized and become heroes of the green forest!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "It's time to send porridge! β
So everyone immediately stopped talking and began to flock to the place where the porridge was opened, this is probably the government of Xinyi City or the relief porridge field distributed by the rich and wealthy people outside the city, there are too many displaced people outside the city, they can't starve to death outside the city, right?
The number of people who can be put into the city every day is limited, and the government seems to have not even many officers and soldiers at first glance, but there are still some soldiers gathered at the city gate.
But today I still see some clues, because these soldiers seem to belong to someone's private army, not the official army, whether it is from the military armor or the form and eyes, they are far from the same.
For a person like Sedum who grew up in the barracks when he was a child, whether he is a real soldier or not, he has a feeling, and he can see it at a glance.
So where did all the local officials and soldiers go? Could it be that they didn't even care about the official government of the Great Jin Dynasty in Xinyi City? Didn't they take the slightest precaution?
Sedum walked through the city gate using a blindfold method, and the private soldiers guarding the city sensed that someone was passing, but they were dazzled, and when they looked closely, they did not see a figure.
When entering the city, you not only have to register and pay taxes, but also provide information about relatives and friends who have settled in the city.
Sedum was originally able to take out money to bribe the soldiers who defended the city, as long as the money was too much, any information about the location in the city was just an excuse.
But he still didn't want to do this, if the money was exposed, there would definitely be unnecessary trouble, so he could master the trick and enter the city easily.
After entering the city, Sedum walked around some streets at random, and found that the whole city was also a mess, the streets were depressed, the merchants were closed, and the streets were full of beggars and homeless people, and even groups of gangsters.
The wealthy family's family guards are naturally guarded inside and outside the mansion, and ordinary people may only be able to hide in their homes, and there may be flying disasters, Xinyi City is not at all like a place managed by the Great Jin government.
Sedum decided to go to the local county guard's office, but before he could go, he first went to find a pharmacy, or rather, he had to find a medical clinic first.
Baixiaomen is well connected in all directions in Dajin, and generally larger cities have strongholds, let alone the capital of a place, but with such a current situation in Xinyi City, it is really not easy to find the faΓ§ade of Baixiaomen.
After looking for a long time, I stood at the door of a Jishan pharmacy today, looking at the flag hanging on it, and the flag had the mark of Baixiaomen, confirming that I was not looking for the wrong place.
But the doors of the pharmacy are closed, apparently closed, and now the city is so chaotic that business is not good, naturally most businesses will not open.
"Bang bang ......bang!" Sedum slammed the door unceremoniously.
After a long time, a person's voice cautiously asked from inside, "Who...... Who?"
"Seek medical treatment and buy medicine!" shouted Sedum.
"I'm sorry officer, the shop has been closed for many days, and those who need to buy medicine can take the doctor's prescription to grab the medicine. β
"The sick at home have nowhere to go to the doctor, where is the doctor here, if he is here, help me to see the disease." β
"Oh, I'm sorry for you, the doctor in the small shop is also closed, if you don't grab the medicine, go to another house to try it." β
The pharmacy said that it wouldn't open the door, Sedum was a little irritable, and slammed the door again: "The spring breeze helps the willows to cause homesickness, and relatives and friends can't ask for information." Do you make any money?"
After saying this, the people inside were silent, and after waiting for a while, a whispered word came out: "The guest officer, please come to the back door, this front door is not open." β
In this case, Sedum went to the back door, turned to the back of the street, and a small door in the backyard of the pharmacy was opened, and a young man inside sneakily poked his head out to look around, and said to Sedum: "Guest officer, please come in." β
After entering the pharmacy, all the rules have not changed, Bai Xiaomen is doing news and intelligence trading, and naturally they are very concerned about all kinds of intelligence news, so they need to make this money.
This time, the Baixiaomen guy in the pharmacy was an old man, and after he saw Sedum, he was a little surprised, and stepped forward and saluted: "Deacon Baixiaomen Beisan has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. β
Sedum said, "You know me?"
The old man named Beisan shook his head and said, "I don't know Your Highness, but Your Highness has pictures and embroidered images, and our deacons in Baixiaomen have seen them, and you are our big customer." β
"I see!" Sedum thought to himself that the key was this, someone had spent a lot of money to find his whereabouts, so his appearance would definitely be drawn, this is easy to understand.
"Your name is Beisan?" he asked, looking at the old man.
"The villain has no name, because he is in charge of the business of the three northern counties, so he is called the northern three, and we who are deacons cannot have names. The old man explained.
This involves the internal rules of Baixiaomen, so it is inconvenient for Sedum to ask more.
He came to Baixiaomen because he needed to understand two questions, the first was of course the canyon where there might be a strange fire, and the other was what happened to Sinuiju? As for the price, he didn't care, since people had already regarded him as a big customer, then the big customer naturally had some preferential treatment.
Regarding the canyon in the northern part of Sinuiju, Baixiaomen has no special news, and there is nothing peculiar to explain, they have some things recorded in books, just give this to Sedum.
But for the current chaos in Sinuiju, Beisan looked at him in surprise and said: "Your Highness doesn't even know?Oh, it's no wonder, I think Your Highness just came here, at present, there are at least seven of the nine northern counties that have been in chaos......!"
"What's the reason for that?"
"It's not that the immortal masters of the Great Jin Divine Capital need to slay demons and eliminate demons!" Bei San said.
Regarding Sedum's doubts, Bei San explained to him that the immortal in the mouth of the man outside the new city was actually a monster, and he really ate people!
These monsters probably appeared a few months ago, probably from the north, thinking of a large number of snowy monsters going south, probably the appearance of these monsters has something to do with this.
But the monsters that appeared on a large scale were very peculiar, they looked like humans, and they were proficient in witchcraft, and in a short period of time, they invaded the seven county capitals of the nine northern counties!
At this time, a large number of people from the gods rushed to Dongzhou Yandi first, and at the same time, they also noticed the situation here, so they left a lot of immortal masters to deal with these monsters!
But these immortal masters originally wanted to kill demons and demons, but now they suddenly colluded with those monsters, not only respecting those monsters as immortals, but also helping them develop believers and harm the people!
What is the specific reason, the people of Baixiaomen are also investigating, but there is no result yet. οΌ
This is the main reason for the current civil unrest in Sinuiju and other places, and Sedum still feels suspicious after listening to it!
"Slay demons and eliminate demons, why does the immortal master help the monsters eat people?"
