Chapter 69 Salary Don't Freeze to Death in Snow

"Does Your Majesty know about what is about to break out in the Qinghe Caves?"

After a long time, he asked Jiang Ling silently.

"As soon as the news came back, His Majesty knew that the imperial edict to move the people of Hezhou and fill the surrounding states and counties was signed by His Majesty himself."

Jiang Ling nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"I know, but he is still like this, isn't this Tianxuan his world?!"

Hearing this in silence, an angry look immediately appeared on his face.

The Qinghe Catacombs outbreak was about to happen, and when it was time to hire people, the first priority was to stabilize the morale of the army, but Emperor Xuanhe still wanted to kill Ye Ping, which made Shen Mo not feel resentful.

"Be careful what you say."

Jiang Ling looked around and shook his head at Shen Mo, indicating that the walls in the palace had ears.

Shen Mo clenched her fingers tightly, glanced at Jingshi, clenched her fingers tightly, then slowly released them, and let out a long sigh.

The current Emperor Xuanhe is no longer the enterprising and diligent Emperor Xuanhe of the past.

This change did not occur after the cave appeared.

During the rebellion in the Yueyang Grottoes, Emperor Xuanhe even thought about conquering the country himself with incomparable bravery, such as one armor for every ten households, one guard for every ten armors, and one guard for every ten guards. In the world, we guard Lin'an and slay demons; we also build academies in many states and counties, select talents, and receive resources from the Tianxuan Empire for training. It seems to us now that these extremely wise national policies were all formulated by Emperor Xuanhe at that time. of.

But as the catacombs gained momentum, the Immortal Grandmaster appeared, and the Grandmaster Association and Emperor Xuanhe ruled the world together, Emperor Xuanhe changed.

He wants to be strong and live forever!

But it is a pity that although he is the best person in the world, he does not have the first-class qualifications in the world. Even if the resources are piled up, his progress is slow and difficult.

Silence understands better that what Emperor Xuanhe wants is not immortality, but to become an immortal master. His lifespan is extremely long, comparable to the power brought by immortality!

Until then, the Grand Masters Association will stand aside and the whole world will be decided with one word!

Was Emperor Xuanhe wrong?

Don't you think that being an emperor should be like this? One person in the world, all the authority in the world, should not be left behind.

But was Emperor Xuanhe right?

At least for now, silence feels wrong.

The world is the emperor's world, but it is also the world of the people. As the emperor, the authority of the world must be unified, but he cannot ignore the life and death of the people, let alone the overall situation and only care about his own cultivation state!

After all, Emperor Xuanhe is an emperor, not a secluded cultivator who only wants to improve his own cultivation level no matter how the external situation changes!

"Go meet that little guy. The trouble he caused, I think, maybe he should have thought of countermeasures before doing this."

At this moment, Jiang Ling pondered for a while, looked at the silence, and said slowly.

"Ye Ping?"

Shen Mo glanced at Jiang Ling in surprise, wondering why Jiang Ling said this.

But after hearing the words, the same thought came to his mind.

That kid is as cunning as a ghost. Although his actions this time seem to be impulsive, is he really so reckless? Shen Mo doesn't think so.

If a doctor cares about the lives of others, he will definitely care more about his own life.

Not to mention, this kid had concealed his medical skills for so long in order to survive, which is enough to show that he cherishes his life!

"Okay, I'll go see him."

He silently nodded in agreement, and then followed Jiang Ling and left the palace.

When I walked out of the gate of the imperial city, I looked back silently. Under the cover of night, the huge imperial city looked like a crouching beast, and the gate looked like the beast's bloody mouth, as if it was about to open up in the next second. Choose people to eat!



Tonggu Alley.

This is a strange place among the people of Lin'an City.

Here, there are no young people, only old, weak, women and children; during the Spring Festival here, firecrackers are never set off, and Spring Festival couplets are never posted. On New Year's Eve, Lin'an City is bustling with activity, but here, there is total silence.

Because this is the place where the family members of the deceased night watchers of Jing'an Division live. Every family has the deceased, and every household has their souls!

The days in Tonggu Lane are always peaceful and seem to be always wrapped in sadness. Except for a few innocent children who run and play on the streets, there are few people sitting at the door even on sunny days. Bask in the sun.

People here all live in memories. Memories are like cloudy days without sunshine. Thinking about it makes you sad.

But at this moment, Tonggu Alley is busier than ever before. The doors of every house are open, and everyone, old and young, women and children, comes out and stands leaning against the door.

"Ye Ping, he killed Zhou Qian to help you get justice. Now that he is unjustly imprisoned, can we just sit back and watch?"

Shen Yueling, who was dressed in white as snow, supported by Grandma Geng, looked at the orphans, widows, old, weak, sick and disabled at the door of every house in Tonggu Lane, and said slowly word by word.

"Please, save big brother, he is a good person..."

Yingning looked at the cheeks, her eyes were red, her knees softened, and she knelt on the ground, kowtowing to every household.

"Child, get up, Tonggu Alley, don't be in the mood to kowtow and beg for help."

Suddenly, a pair of large, wrinkled hands stretched out to support Ying Ning.

When she raised her head, she saw an old man with gray hair and wrinkles standing in front of her.

The old man grinned at her, then stretched out his hand to lift her up from the ground.

"What's wrong with killing a corrupt official? It's not illegal, and he doesn't deserve to die! However, I'm afraid some people will laugh at him for being stupid for doing this, right?"

"I thought that my elder brother was stupid enough. He stupidly carried a knife to fight with the cave monster, but was swallowed by the monster in one bite. I didn't expect that there was someone even stupider than my elder brother. He fought for a group of unrelated people. A man who killed a high official and disobeyed the imperial edict?"

After the old man helped Ying Ning up, he murmured. His voice was very low at first, but as he spoke, his voice suddenly became louder.

"Now, the emperor wants him to die? What can we, the people of Tonggu Lane, do? Watch him die... Hehe... He has no relatives, and everyone has helped us. Now, can we just watch him die?"

The old man turned around, looked at the faces in Tonggu Lane, and asked.

"cannot!"

"He is a good man, he cannot die!"

"It's not him who deserves death, it's the dog official who embezzled our pension money! The one who wants to kill him is the dog official and the foolish king!"

One voice sounded, followed closely by two, three, seven or eight... the voices sounded one after another, as if the tide was rising and falling.

"The emperor wants to kill people, and Tonggu Lane wants to keep people. If you have the courage, follow me, Mr. Li, to knock on the palace door! Anyway, I am an old man. When my uncle died, he was half buried in the ground. Even after death, Okay, I can go down there and meet Dalang as soon as possible!"

Hearing this sound, the old man smiled, turned around, and walked out of Tonggu Lane.

Under the night, that thin and hunched figure looked frail, but without hesitation, he moved forward indomitably.

"Knock on the palace door!"

"Yes, let's knock on the palace door! Good people don't deserve to die!"

"Those who work for me in Tonggu Lane must not freeze to death in the wind and snow!"

One or two, five or seven, nine or ten... The number of people in Tonggu Alley following Li Laosi gradually increased. At the beginning, it was just a sparse group, but when they walked out of Tonggu Alley, But it is already a mighty black torrent!

Not only that, along Lin'an City, in various places where orphans of night watchers live, figures one after another walked out of their homes and merged into this black torrent.

They have always been silent, but today, they are no longer silent!

"Those who work for others should not freeze to death in the snow!"

Shen Yueling stared blankly at the scene in front of her, muttering in her mouth, her eyes moist and hot.

Before coming to Tonggu Lane, she thought a lot about how she could use emotion and reason to make these people cry out for Ye Ping's injustice!

But now, she realized that she didn't need to say anything. These people were silent, but there was a raging flame in their chests!

"Mommy, push me to the imperial city!"

Shen Yueling raised her hand, wiped the sore corners of her eyes, looked at Nanny Geng, and said in a deep voice.

"Miss..." Nanny Geng frowned and wanted to stop her.
