Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 622 The People Are Suffering

In the end, Yuchi still did not agree to let Shang Kelan go to the inn alone.

Midnight in Fengdu is not so quiet. The order here seems to be not as strict as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though the time is approaching midnight, there are still many small shops open on both sides of the street, and there are people walking on the street, but most of them are man.

It is said that the system of the Jin State is even more ignorant and feudal than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A Sheng was wearing a gray military tunic, and he followed behind Shang Kelan, only two steps away from her.

The two were silent, and neither of them spoke first.

Finally, Ah Sheng broke the silence: "Actually, the nights in the Kingdom of Jin are indeed not as peaceful as they appear on the surface, and I can understand why His Highness insisted that I take you to the inn."

As soon as the voice fell, a few men walked in front.

They were drunk, deliberately stopped in front of Shang Kelan, and looked at her lewdly, "Hey, you can meet a beautiful woman this night, let's go with brother, brother will not treat you badly! "

After finishing speaking, these people surrounded Shang Kelan and Yuchi.

Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at A Sheng in surprise, "It's a little surprising that you answered your words so quickly."

A Sheng looked indifferent, stepped forward to protect Shang Kelan, and sternly scolded these people: "You are blind! How dare you even stop my master?"

After being scolded by A Sheng like this, several people were shocked and seemed to be much more awake.

But soon, the leader came back to his senses and sneered: "I don't care who your master is, but behind us is the princess concubine. If you are sensible, you should quickly hand over this woman to me! Blame the brothers for being rude to you!"

"Princess?"

Shang Kelan's eyes were slightly dazed, and he didn't recover from this message for a while.

When did Yuchi get married?She has never heard Jin Yantang mention it!
Asheng couldn't help but sneered: "Hey, the woman His Highness the Crown Prince liked died three years ago, and the Royal Concubine Wang just found a daughter of a guilty minister from the Great Zhou Dynasty and pretended to be the Crown Princess, that's all. His Highness the Crown Prince has never paid homage to that Zhang Ruxue, what kind of Crown Princess is that Zhang Ruxue?"

The criminal minister's daughter, Zhang Ruxue...

This information is a bit strange, as far as she knows, isn't that Zhang Ruxue Li Chenxiu's wife?
Besides, she had a brief relationship with Zhang Ruxue before, and that woman didn't seem like she would condone such a criminal under her command.

For a while, Shang Kelan decided not to move. She narrowed her eyes and silently observed the people on both sides.

The few guys who surrounded them were drunk drunkards, each with fat heads and big ears, their eyes were full of evil, and they were facing fiercely.

Hearing what Yuchi said, the fat man at the head took another sip of wine, wiped his mouth at him, and said with a smile: "Boy, do you know the origin of the Crown Princess very well? You sound like you are not from the Crown Princess. "

"You don't need to know who I am, but since you are that woman's lackeys, don't blame me for taking your lives!"

After saying that, Ah Sheng's eyes sharpened, he pulled out his sword abruptly, and stabbed straight at the fat man.

So fast!

The sword energy is also very fierce!
It seems that Ah Sheng is not an ordinary guard!

Shang Kelan's eyes changed, and he took a few steps back unconsciously.

"Pounce!"

The long sword pierced into the flesh and slashed across the neck. The fat man didn't have time to react. He kept his smile just now, and fell down like this!

It was terrible, but with just one blow, the fat man's accomplices started to retreat cowardly, and they didn't stop them anymore, they scattered and fled in all directions.

"Hmph, want to run? It's too late!"

A Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he raised his sword and chased them down.

When he confronted these people, it was a unilateral slaughter!
Soon, these people fell to the ground, and after a few screams, they fell silent.

What is strange is that such a scene did not cause a sensation among the people around. The vendors still set up stalls to entertain customers, and the customers still ate noodles calmly, as if they could not see this scene, and they seemed to be numb.

Yes, numb, as if this scene is a habit.

Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, looked away from these people, turned to look at A Sheng, and couldn't help lowering her voice: "Why don't these people seem to see this scene? They seem a little numb."

Ah Sheng withdrew his sword, and the cold and frightening aura disappeared from his body.

He scanned around the diners and vendors, and then smiled at Shang Kelan: "Isn't this normal? Most of the state of Jin fell into the hands of the noble concubine Wang, and the dignitaries who supported her behind the woman naturally acted recklessly, no Restricted by the laws of the state of Jin, gradually, more and more innocent people were imprisoned, and more and more girls were insulted by hooligans."

"Later, people were beheaded every day in the vegetable market, and there were fewer and fewer girls in Fengdu. Some people have already fled outside, and those who are still left are either the children of the rich and powerful, or have nowhere to go. The common people can only be slaughtered, so why should they care about it? Over time, they will become insensitive."

In contrast, Diemenglou is more popular than the streets outside.

Following Ah Sheng's explanation, Shang Kelan carefully observed the eyes of these passers-by, diners and street vendors, but found that their eyes were deeply covered with a layer of haze, which was full of hopeless gray. little hope.

Is it the only way?

Is this the only way for the people of Jin?

In Shang Kelan's heart, an inexplicable pity rose up, and he couldn't help sighing: "Xing, the people are suffering, and death, the people are suffering."

She doesn't sympathize with the suffering of these people, she just pities those living lives who are oppressed by bullies and killed by powerful people.

They could have had a very rich life, but because the dynasty is controlled by inappropriate people, they will decay and fall with the dynasty. This is a sad and helpless thing.

As Sheng said, he glanced at Shang Kelan inadvertently, but saw her frowning slightly, with a kind of unbearable and compassion naturally showing in her brimming eyes.

He had seen this look in Yuchi's body before.

Gradually, Ah Sheng's voice stopped slowly, Shang Kelan looked away from these people, and continued to walk forward. As for the people around who fell on the ground, officers and soldiers will immediately deal with them.

She unconsciously slowed down and chatted with A Sheng.

"Now in the entire Jin Kingdom, how many cities are facing the situation of closing their capitals?"

Asheng shook his head: "I shouldn't have told you these things, after all, your identity... But my master seems to be kind to you, so I think it's okay to tell you these things."

"Actually, what you have seen now, and what I just said, are just a small part of the situation. The farther you are from the closed capital city, the worse the situation is. Maybe there are no young men in many towns now? "

why?
Almost subconsciously, as soon as this answer came to mind, Shang Kelan had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help answering: "It's Wang Guifei, have you started to arrest young men?"
