Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Chen Changli saw that he was having trouble breathing and was a little shaky, so he quickly came to him and patted his back to help him breathe.

Breathing in the fresh air, the shopkeeper felt much better.

He thanked Chen Changli and asked the waiter: "Where did you get the news?"

The waiter said with a pale face: "This is the news from the county magistrate. There are still police officers posting notices on the streets."

"Why did the imperial court recruit troops? The general won the battle this year." When Chen Changli heard the waiter say this, he blurted out his words with a heightened tone.

"Yes, the enemy country surrendered, and the general was recalled to the capital by His Majesty because he won the battle." The shopkeeper also felt that troops should not be recruited at this time, and couldn't help but have doubts, "Why is this court recruiting troops? Mr. It can’t be where His Majesty wants to attack, right?”

"No." The waiter said quickly, "When the police came out to post the notice, some people expressed doubts. They specifically explained that the reason why the imperial court recruited troops at this time was because the general encountered an assassination attempt on his way back to Beijing. The enemy's life and death were unknown. I thought the general was dead, so I broke the treaty with him."

"Now the enemy is clamoring at the border again. The border guards can barely resist it. However, most of the soldiers brought by the general have been sent home. The border cannot be sustained for long, so His Majesty ordered the conscription of troops to support the border."

"Conscription means conscription. Why does the court want to increase taxes?" Wan Shufang asked doubtfully.

"Fighting requires not only food and grass, but also money." Chen Changli's expression was very unclear at the moment, obviously because he felt very heavy because of the waiter's words.

Wan Shufang bit her lip and said: "There is no way for the new soldiers to go to the battlefield directly. The court can definitely recruit the veterans back."

Chen Changli's thin lips moved slightly. Although his voice sounded as light as the wind, there was a sense of sadness for no reason: "After ten years of fighting, most of the veterans have become disabled. The general felt sorry for them and sent them back. Home."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang felt mixed emotions, and she was so uncomfortable that she could not say another word.

The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly: "After all, it's the fault of those enemy people. If it weren't for them, why would we have been recruited by the imperial court."

After saying this in one breath, the shopkeeper couldn't help but have a look of complaint on his face, and his tone was not very good: "Why is such a good person like the general being assassinated? Is there someone who is unhappy that the general has returned to the capital?"

"Maybe." Chen Changli said something unclear, but his eyes fell outside.

He wanted to go see the notice and see what was inside.

After Wan Shufang heard about the veteran, she immediately thought of Chen Changli.

She was a little worried about him, so she cast her eyes on him. At this time, she caught the direction of his gaze and said immediately: "Go and find out the situation."

Chen Changli said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, I will be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he immediately went to the police to find out the details.

Wan Shufang looked at his hurried away figure, her heart lifted up but she didn't show it on her face. She just said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, where did you put the grain I asked you to transport? I'm going to let the villagers buy the grain. "

"The situation in the town is not very good recently. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, I asked people to hide the food in the mountains beside the road leading to your village. I asked people to take you there and you took the food. Just go back to the village and don’t come out again.”

As the shopkeeper said this, he began to calculate the money for the food.

After watching him calculate, Wan Shufang went to the villagers and explained the matter to them briefly, and asked them to pay according to the food they needed.

She handed the money to the shopkeeper and followed the people he sent to lead the villagers to transport food.

All the way out of the town, Wan Shufang keenly discovered that the hungry red eyes of the refugees were already staring at the townspeople.

The group of them passed by and were observed carefully.

If they hadn't been outnumbered, these refugees might have taken action against them.

After realizing this, Wan Shufang had a bad feeling and quickly called on the villagers to leave the town quickly, "We have to speed up and leave here. Those who are slower will hurry up and make sure not to be left alone."

As soon as she said this, there was a sound of shouting and killing not far away.

"These people are the rich people in the town. They have a lot of food. Let's rush in and grab it. If we are late, we will starve to death."

"You refugees are really evil-minded. Someone is coming! The refugees have forced their way into a private house to steal things."

"In order to fill your stomach, everyone rushes!"

The noisy and shrill wails came from far away, and the villagers were too frightened to look back. Each one of them left the town quickly as if there was an evil ghost behind them.

After leaving the town, many villagers with strong empathy shed tears.

Wan Shufang is no exception.

She turned around and looked back with red eyes, feeling that she had seen a crazy human tragedy.

After just one glance, she quickly looked away without daring to look again.

"Let's leave quickly, we can't let those people notice us." Wan Shufang urged quickly, and then walked eagerly back to the village.

On the way, they went to the mountains to carry food on their backs, and then they quickly returned to the village as if there was a savage beast behind them.

After returning to the village, everyone did not relax. Instead, they took the initiative to organize the young and middle-aged people in the village to guard outside the village with weapons.

Wan Shufang carried her things home and then ran outside the village to wait for Chen Changli to return.

At this time, after reading the notice, Chen Changli went to the county government office to take Chen Ping out, but was told that Chen Ping had been taken away by the Bai family.

"Why can the Bai family take Chen Ping away?" Chen Changli's voice was as cold as ice.

"The Bai family spent money, and Chen Ping didn't make any real mistakes. The county magistrate naturally released him after taking the money." The prison leader didn't think this was anything at all, and answered quickly.

Chen Changli frowned unconsciously, and then went directly to Bai's house, but saw that Bai's house was empty.

He suddenly remembered that the Bai family had decided to leave everything here and go to the capital a few days ago.

He was silent for a long time and then laughed: "Did Chen Ping be taken away by Chen Hai? Chen Hai, since you think of Chen Ping, why can't you think of the other brothers and sisters? Is it because they are of no use to you?"

His words were accompanied by a cold tone, making his calm expression full of sarcasm.

"Even if a cold-hearted person can really win the first prize, I'm afraid he won't be able to go far in the officialdom. Chen Hai, you really made a bad move."

After saying these words in a deep tone, Chen Changli felt chilled. When he turned around and left here, the momentum he showed around him was very terrifying.

The refugees who were smashing and looting on the street were also frightened by his momentum and stayed away from him.

Chen Changli noticed the mess in the town, his face couldn't help but change, and he immediately went to stop the refugees, but soon found that the whole town was in chaos.

He looked at everything in front of him blankly, confused and angry, "Why did things become like this? Where is the county magistrate, why doesn't he care?"
