After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1282 A Robbery in the Open and Honest

"Sir, my father-in-law's family is from the West District. We can't get into the West District now. There's thick smoke coming out every day. They say they're burning corpses. Waaah... After hearing the good news, my family hurriedly cooked food and sent it over to help the Wei army repel the enemy as soon as possible, so that the city can return to normal and my family can enter the West District to see how my father-in-law's family is doing."

"We haven't heard from them at all! The whole family is so worried, waaaaah!"

The things these people said were clearly directed at them.

The butcher was telling everyone that the capital city was running out of fresh food, and soon there would be no food left in the city.

If you want to live, you have to leave the city.

The man whose father-in-law lived in the west of the city was even more outspoken, saying that a plague had broken out in the western district, and that corpses were being burned every day. If they didn't leave the city, they would all die!
Yu Qianhu sneered, not interrupting them, and let them talk.

After all two hundred people had registered, Commander Yu said, "Someone, receive the food donated by Wei Min!"

"Yes." The Wei soldiers went to receive the food: "Thank you for bringing us food, folks. After we defeat the enemy, the government troops will send commendation documents to each family according to the registration list."

"Repel the enemy? But can we really repel the enemy? The enemy has hundreds of thousands of troops. They've already reached Dongfu Town. They even like to dissect us Wei people alive, calling us 'Grain Wei,' and treating us like food!"

"They're still burning corpses every day in the west of the city; it's a plague outbreak! We have to escape! If we want to survive, we have to get out of the city as soon as possible and flee to Tai Zhou Prefecture. Otherwise, once the main enemy force besieges the city, we'll be massacred like Tian Mang Prefecture! Massacred!"

"I am a centurion of the Su family in the Central District, a native of the capital city, and a student of the sage. Today, I will follow the example of the righteous man, Mr. Rong, and with my blood, open a path for the people of Wei in the capital city to escape for their lives!"

After saying this, Su Baifu drew a sharp knife hidden in his wide sleeve and slit his throat with a hiss.

The blow was swift, precise, and ruthless, splattering blood everywhere. With a thud, the body fell to the ground, convulsing and writhing.

“I am Bai Shugui from the East District. Although I am just an ordinary citizen, my father-in-law’s entire family has been infected with the rat plague and died in the West District. Today, I will use my death to tell all the people of Wei that we can no longer stay in the capital city. We must escape from the city to survive!”

After saying this, the man turned and rushed forward.

Bang-!
His head slammed into the city wall, his skull fractured, and he died on the spot.

Once that collision happened, things spiraled out of control.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The sound of Wei Min banging his head against the wall and committing suicide could not be heard incessantly.

Some would have died if they hadn't shouted, while others shouted: "We beg the Wei army, we beg the King of Ye to be merciful, open the city gates, and escort the Wei people of the capital city to flee south. We cannot let the capital city become a second Tianmang Prefecture. The Wei people are innocent, the Wei people deserve to live!"

This, this, this?
Liu Qing's wife was terrified; she never imagined that what her husband wanted her to do was so terrible.

She wanted to back down, but Old Lady Yang grabbed her and whispered, "If you don't die, Liu Qing and his two sons will definitely not survive."

Do you think you can just back down from such a huge disturbance?
To not die is to betray.

Traitors are not tolerated by anyone.

"..." Liu Qing's wife stared with teary eyes at the dagger that Old Lady Yang had stuffed into her arms.

"Let your mother-in-law go first. It's poisonous, but it won't hurt. Go quickly," Old Mrs. Yang coaxed. "After it's done, your husband and children will become confidants of important people, receive their support, and have a bright future."

Liu Qing's wife, her hands trembling, gripped the poisoned dagger tightly, squatted down, and raised the dagger...

Whoosh!
The arrow came from Yu Qianhu's hand and pierced Liu Qing's wife's arm.

Clang! The poisoned dagger fell to the ground.

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts!" Liu Qing's wife cried out.

"Capture all those who dare to rebel and die!" Commander Yu ordered. The Wei soldiers moved out and rushed towards Liu Qing's wife and the others.

However, it still couldn't save the foolish woman. Liu Qing's father, the old man who hadn't uttered a word the whole time, took advantage of being closest to Liu Qing's wife, picked up the poisoned dagger, and stabbed her with a thud, cursing her: "Useless thing, you'll only drag my children and grandchildren down with you."

Liu Qing's wife couldn't believe it, but the dagger was poisoned, and with one stab to her throat, she quickly collapsed to the ground.

With a series of thuds, Old Man Liu, having just killed someone in public, knew he was going to die. He quickly stabbed himself and Granny Liu, crying out, "Please, Wei army, have mercy and let the people of the capital city escape..."

The poison was too potent; he died before he could finish speaking.

Ma Zibai, Zhang Yuanfu, Su Wenlu, and other students from the prefectural school whose reputations were already tarnished immediately stepped forward, kneeling down with their families and pleading, "Please, sir, calm down and do not harm the people of Wei. They will risk their lives to plead for us; they are terrified!"

Just them alone wouldn't be enough to make a big enough show of things.

Therefore, Master Zheng and other powerful families, the Tong Family Escort Agency, and their privately formed alliance quickly dispatched a large number of people to 'rush over upon hearing the news'.

"what happened?"

"Ahhh, people are dead! The people from the capital city who came to deliver food to the Wei army are all dead!"

"Quickly, go and report to the three major government offices."

"Would it do any good to ask them? Now the Prince of Ye is in charge of the capital city."

"Then let's go to Wu Garden and report what happened here to His Highness Prince Ye!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly go and invite His Highness Prince Ye! So many people have died; only His Highness Prince Ye can uphold justice!"

Boom boom boom!
As the war drums sounded, the Wei soldiers shouted, "No one is to approach the corpses!"

"Commander, too many people have appeared. They're not enemy soldiers, so we can't shoot them with arrows. We can only protect the corpses and prevent them from getting into trouble," a centurion under his command reported.

Yu Qianhu remained calm, saying only, "Protecting the corpse is enough. Don't worry about the rest. Let them make a fuss."

From the moment His Majesty issued the ban on relocation, to the outbreak of war, to the mobilization of Wei people to the capital city to escape the ravages of war, to the elimination of Gu Chengyong, to the emergence of a powerful weapon, an internal strife was bound to break out in the capital city.

Since it's inevitable, let's make a scene.

Only by puncturing the abscess can the pus be squeezed out and the wound healed.

"A suicide note... There was a suicide note on Wei Min, who was hit and killed..." Ma Zibai and the others were near the body. They had snatched a body and found a suicide note inside.

The suicide note read: "Hey, we're just that straightforward and blunt, we don't even pretend."

"The suicide note said that they did not cause trouble on purpose, but only wanted to ask for a way to escape for the people of our capital city, only a way to escape, sob sob sob!" Ma Zibai and the others wept bitterly, and hurriedly begged Wei Jun: "Sir, please do not blame these people. They did not cause trouble on purpose, but they knew that the enemy was strong and did not want the people of the capital city to follow in the footsteps of the people of Tianmang Prefecture, so they died to remonstrate!"

"Ma Zibai, what are you students who have been expelled from the academy trying to do? Shut your mouths right now!" Councilor Su, who was in charge of the academy, rushed over after learning about the farce.

He was furious when he heard what Ma Zibai and the others said as soon as he arrived.

Kang Erye was also beside Councilor Su, and he pointed at Ma Zibai and scolded him: "Student Ma, the enemy is powerful, but Heaven blesses Great Wei and has sent down powerful weapons. With powerful weapons in hand, we will definitely be able to repel the enemy and defend the capital city. There is no need to flee the capital city!"

Su Wenlu said, "We have powerful weapons? These weapons don't belong to us, they belong to the Qin family. How many powerful weapons does the Qin family have? We have no idea. We don't even know if these weapons can be manufactured again, but we have witnessed the enemy's strength and ferocity."

"The fear of a massacre terrifies everyone. When the outcome is uncertain, it is only natural for the people of Wei to want to escape the city and find a way to survive."

"If we want to eliminate the fear of the people of Wei and put their minds at ease, we must show them our strength to win."

They've really stopped pretending and started openly robbing weapons.
