As the situation fermented day by day, the atmosphere in Qingzhou City became more tense.
The Lin family’s theft caused even more uproar.
All the officers and soldiers in the city, the Lin family guards, and all the servants went out to search for the thieves.
After searching for a whole day, I still found nothing!
The Lin family couldn't find the culprit and could only feel helpless and furious!
at the same time.
Groups of refugees who were about to starve to death had arrived at the north gate of Qingzhou from various routes.
Su Yunhai looked around nervously at the South City Gate, but he didn't see Shen Shuli.
Seeing his daughter finally appear, he immediately went to meet her.
"Girl, something happened!"
...
...
Su Yunhai explained quickly while pulling the goose girl.
"Since we entered the city, a large number of disaster victims have been gathering outside the city. The city simply cannot accommodate so many people, so the prefect directly ordered the city gates to be closed."
"So far, there are more than 30,000 disaster victims gathered outside!"
"Those disaster victims are not ordinary victims. There is a group of bandits among them who have organized a rebellious army. They have organized most of the disaster victims outside the city and forced the prefect to open the city gates."
"I think the situation is not right, we have to leave quickly!"
Shen Shuli's face changed when she heard this, and the development of the plot was even more serious than in the original book.
Fortunately, they fled the famine early and entered the city a day earlier.
Otherwise, they would definitely be surrounded and blocked outside the city by countless refugees.
"Dad, go and inform the villagers, let's leave Qingzhou now! I think the city will be in chaos!"
A swarm of locusts just passed through the city yesterday, and the people in the city were in a panic. In addition, most of the food in the city was monopolized by the Lin family, and the people in the city had been without food for several days.
If the people outside the city riot, the people inside the city will definitely become chaotic as well!
There are more people in the city than outside the city!
Once chaos breaks out, these outsiders who still have some supplies will definitely be fat meat in the eyes of these people!
Su Yunhai's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. "I will go back to the inn and call more people. Let's split up and go to other inns to inform the villagers. Let's leave quickly before the city gate is closed!"
Shen Shuli nodded and quickly asked her father to let go of her hand.
"Dad, I won't go back. I'll go outside the city and get some food. Then I'll explain to the villagers that we've already transported the food out of the city."
If there is no food, the people of Taohua Village will also riot.
After all, once a person is extremely hungry, no one knows what he will do.
Su Yunhai quickly let go of his daughter's hand, told her to be careful, and ran towards the restaurant.
Things are moving too fast.
When Chen Shuli left the city at noon, the city seemed calm on the surface.
Unexpectedly, in just three hours, the people rioted!
I just don't know how the prefect will deal with the people outside the city.
The city wall of Qingzhou is three meters high. If the mob, who have no military equipment and are too hungry to have much strength, want to enter the city, they can only find a way to break down the city gate.
Qingzhou is an important military city and an important checkpoint, with troops stationed in the city.
No matter how you think about it, the mob has no chance of winning.
But it did not prevent Shen Shuli's family from avoiding disaster in advance.
If the people in the city also riot, they won’t be able to handle it with just these few people.
Shen Shuli found an open space in the forest beside the road a mile outside the city gate.
This place was quite spacious, so she immediately put out the poor quality food.
They took a few more carts and put the food, meat, eggs and water on them.
I also pulled a lot of vegetables and apples from the space and put them in several buckets.
The temperature was ridiculously high, and the villagers couldn't even find wild vegetables, so they couldn't get any fiber and their intestines were clogged.
Bring some fruits and vegetables to the villagers to lubricate their stomachs.
More than eighty villagers have signed indentures to the Su family, so the Su family must be responsible for everyone's food, drink, and shelter.
After eight trucks were filled with various supplies, Shen Shuli felt that it was enough.
With these eight trucks of supplies as cover, she could also secretly take some out of the space.
Worried that the situation in the city might change, Shen Shuli became extremely anxious.
On the official road.
Many villagers were hurrying on their way with their families. It seemed that these people had also sensed the crisis and were trying to avoid disaster in advance.
Shen Shuli didn't dare to go too far away from the supplies, for fear that they would be spotted and robbed by the passing villagers.
If it wasn't necessary, Shen Shuli didn't want to kill these ordinary people.
The premise is that they don't come to provoke themselves.
Waited for an hour.
Still couldn't wait for the villagers to come out.
Shen Shuli’s heart sank.
She immediately stored all eight trucks of supplies into the space and returned to check.
“Boom!”
From a distance, Shen Shuli saw the city gate slowly closing.
Her pupils suddenly shrank!
It’s over!
Something must have happened to my parents and they can’t come out!
She immediately rode forward quickly on her horse. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw someone trying to force their way in, more than a dozen of them pointed their spears at the intruder and shouted at him.
The officers and soldiers standing on the city wall were holding bows and arrows, ready to shoot any intruders at any time!
"The city gate is closing! Do not force your way in, retreat quickly or you will be shot!"
Shen Shuli quickly shouted loudly: "Please wait for me to enter the city, I am willing to give you my entire fortune!"
The city gate was only half closed and not completely closed yet.
If it is completely closed, the city gate will never be opened again without the prefect's approval!
She must seize this last chance.
Without saying a word, Shen Shuli took out a golden ingot from the space and threw it hard towards the city gate.
"If you let me in, I will give you another hundred taels of gold!"
One ingot of gold is worth ten taels, which is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver!
Ten ingots equal one thousand two taels of silver!
At the moment, the city gates have not been completely closed yet. If they can make so much money by letting one person in, they will definitely be tempted!
Where had the officers and soldiers ever seen gold?
Everyone's eyes were wide open!
The officers and soldiers who were closing the city gate stopped and stared at the gold on the ground, waiting for the captain's instructions.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers stopped scolding her, Shen Shuli quickly dismounted and ran to the officers and soldiers.
"Sir, please be flexible. The city gates are open, right? It won't hurt to let one person in."
Shen Shuli held two ingots of gold in front of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers took a deep breath.
Looking at the gold within reach, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Several officers and soldiers looked at each other, nodded imperceptibly, and reached a consensus.
The officers and soldiers separated into two sides and made way.
Shen Shuli immediately took out the agreed ten ingots of gold from the 'package' and presented them to him.
She even shook the package to show that nothing was left inside.
The officers and soldiers immediately let her go.
As soon as we entered the city, the heavy city gate closed immediately.
Before Shen Shuli could even catch her breath, she saw a familiar red flare rising into the sky.
That was the signal flare that Shen Shuli had sent to Shen Ziyi, Li Qinghe and Zhang Songbai.
Shen Yuehua also has a few in her hands.
However, the direction of the flare was clearly the direction of the inn where the Li family was staying.
Shen Shuli was a little confused, not knowing whether to look for her parents first, or go to the location of the flare for support.
If someone can use a flare, it means the situation is critical!
