Chapter 307 The Whole City Flees
"Miss Liu, something has happened. The young lady sent me to pick you up."
It's Mo Lang's voice!
Liu'er almost cried.
It was Qingqing who came to pick her up again.
But this time was different; she didn't want to implicate anyone.
They had no idea how terrifying Qin Wangchuan was.
"Mother, you take Yuanyuan and go with Mo Lang. I need to go out for a while."
"That won't do, that won't do! Where are you going by yourself?"
"I'll be back in a while, Mom. Please, I'm entrusting Yuanyuan to you."
"If, if I don't come back, and Daye gets married in the future, and you don't want to support her, then give her to Madam Wan."
Liu'er shed tears.
Qin Wangchuan is cruel and tyrannical; he has killed so many people. He will not have a good end.
Even if Yuanyuan is his daughter, she doesn't want her to acknowledge such a father.
She didn't understand before. Being pampered and kept in the inner quarters by Qin Wangchuan, she once thought she had received the most sincere love in the world.
Until she saw the guard who glanced at her a couple of times, he gouged out her eyes...
"Oh dear, what's wrong? What's wrong!" Mother Mu cried anxiously.
Mo Lang stomped the door open.
"Miss Liu, come with me quickly!"
"Mo Lang, take my mother and child with you. I'll find a place to hide for a while. If Qin Wangchuan leaves, I'll go home."
He probably doesn't know she's still alive, or how she got here, and he'll probably be gone soon.
Yes, she just needs to hide outside for a few days.
Mo Lang's gaze sharpened: "How did you know Qin Wangchuan was coming to Ming'an County?"
"He's not coming, he's already here! He just came looking for me!"
What?
A look of shock flashed across Mo Lang's indifferent eyes.
Just then, Liu'er ran out and bumped into Little Wang, who was peeking into the room.
"Let me see what's going on." Little Wang was a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, here's some money. You'd better go out and hide. Those people kill without blinking an eye. If they find out you lied to them, they'll kill your whole family!"
Liu'er rarely goes out, and when she does, she often covers her face. Not many people in the village have seen her, so there shouldn't be any problems with others.
That is, Xiao Wangshi and Qin Wangchuan had met before, which is why she was worried.
It's best to go out and hide for a while.
Liu'er gave Xiao Wangshi two taels of silver, enough for her family to live on for several months.
Little Wang was frightened by what Liu'er said and quickly ran home.
Liu'er covered her head with a headscarf, not daring to look back, afraid of leaving her daughter behind, and prepared to leave with her bundle on her back.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and immediately felt dizzy.
"What a hassle!" Mo Lang muttered.
Then, grabbing Liu'er by the back of her shirt, just like he often did with corpses, he threw her into the car.
He jumped and sat in front of the carriage.
Enraged, Mu's mother slapped his shoulder twice from behind.
"How can you be so savage, you brat? When my son comes back, I'll have him beat you up!"
Ouch, ouch, ouch... Did you hurt your arm? Did you hurt it? Ouch, ouch! My son wouldn't even lift a finger to pull you up, you good-for-nothing! No matter how handsome you are, you'll never find a wife!
Mo Lang: "..."
I can't hear you!
...
Magistrate Xu, in a desperate move, sent out all his men to warn the bandits that they were coming to rob people and grain.
Those who can escape the city should flee, and those who cannot should hide. In short, tell them that Ming'an County is in danger!
Even if he were to resign as magistrate, he would not allow Qin Wangchuan to bring disaster upon the people of this city.
The city gates were wide open, and the streets were in complete chaos.
Magistrate Xu stood in the center, his jaw clenched, like an unyielding poplar tree.
He must stand straight and steady so that the people can see him.
Don't panic, don't be flustered, you can come back, you're just escaping for a while.
A child was pushed and stumbled, and he reached out to help him.
"Sir, are there really bad guys coming? Will they kill us?"
"Really, just consider this a trip out of the city to broaden your horizons. I, the magistrate, will stay here and inform you as soon as the bad guys leave."
The child cried, "Sir, won't they kill you?"
"I don't know. If they kill me, you'll be back a little later. But you'll definitely be back."
The child was dragged away by his parents.
They had to leave the city quickly and seek refuge with relatives in other places.
Good World Hall.
The dangerous man looked at the chaos outside, a clear sneer in his eyes.
"Indeed, Xu Hengzhi is still as upright as ever, bordering on foolish."
While investigating the case, his daughter was raped and murdered.
He spoke out for the people and opposed powerful families. His son was drugged and thrown into a brothel, which twisted his mind from then on.
His wife died in despair, and he was framed and imprisoned.
Unexpectedly, even after enduring severe torture and having his skin peeled off, his spine is still so strong!
Xu Hengzhi, well done!
In the past, he would have genuinely admired and supported him.
But now, he has become a demon that he cannot even control.
He has only one goal in this life: to kill Ji Ruyan and everyone he cares about and is related to!
"Dr. Pang, why don't you run away?"
The old man chuckled as if he didn't care at all.
"At this age, I can't walk much. Besides, whether they're bandits or soldiers, everyone needs a doctor, right? I'm thinking, if they need me, it wouldn't be bad to spare my life and get me medical treatment!"
"Know the practicalities."
Dr. Pang chuckled again.
I don't know you at all!
These people are obviously no good; you can't develop that kind of gaze without killing ten or eight people.
Especially this big guy in front of me!
He didn't disinfect the area when he gave the injection; he'd better get infected and die.
He had already dismissed the shop assistants, and now he was all alone.
I do all the decocting and grinding of medicine myself.
He went to get the brewed medicine, turned his back, twitched his beard, pouted, and spat into it.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and take the medicine over!" the person following behind ordered fiercely.
"Hey, hey, this is too hot! Let me stir it!"
The medicine was served, and the man picked it up and smelled it.
"Bloodstains, frankincense, safflower, borneol... What a wonderful prescription! No wonder he's the best doctor in Ming'an County."
"Hehehe, you flatter me, you flatter me. You are a great man, you can distinguish them perfectly. Could it be that you also come from a family of doctors?"
"It's just that it's used a lot."
The man picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Dr. Pang chuckled twice more.
It's a pity there's still one ingredient we haven't identified!
The old man, over fifty years old, took a sip of the Golden Jade Liquor!
...
Some people left the city and left Ming'an County, some organized themselves and went to the mountains and forests, and some disguised their cellars and hiding places.
By evening, the noise subsided.
The city was pitch black.
Even the once bustling brothels had half of their lights turned off.
Not a single customer came again.
"Mom, are we really not going to run away?"
The experienced mother in charge said: "Run away? Running away is the worst decision you can make!"
People like us are like hot potatoes on the run; we might just be dragged to a ravine and roasted and eaten!
Staying might actually save your life. So what if you get to sleep with someone a few times? In chaotic times, you have to be shameless to survive!
Everyone, stay alert, don't anger anyone, just bear with it and it will pass..."
Across the street, in a dark alleyway filled with fireworks, the sound of windows being smashed seemed particularly abrupt.
Finally, the nailed-down window was smashed open.
A man as thin as a bamboo pole crawled out.
"Finally out... out... you man-eating demons, you ran away but wouldn't let me out..."
"Burn it all! Burn it all!"
