Chapter 101
"Extreme times are extraordinary means, everyone... you can't have the kindness of a woman at this time!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

The faces of the few masters present were very ugly, Zhao Yanxun was so shameless, they had nothing to do.

Under the city wall, after receiving Wang Cheng's order, although the soldiers below hesitated, they still carried out the military order honestly.

Let the stewards and servants of the various houses cry for their father and mother, the soldiers were unmoved, and directly chopped down with their sabers.

After a while of "cracking", all the crying and howling were quieted down, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Yanxun looked serious, looked at the few people in front of him and said: "Everyone, this time they killed a few servants, if there is another time... this king will take it seriously!"

Strictly pursue it...combining the previous and previous words to understand, that is to say, if they send people out secretly again, Zhao Yanxun will use a knife against these masters.

"It's good to do it yourself, don't say that you don't predict it!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun immediately turned around and walked slowly under the city wall, while the guards immediately followed.

After glancing at the elders, Wang Cheng also followed Zhao Yanxun down the city wall, and it was uncomfortable for him to stay here.

But at the same place, after hearing Zhao Yanxun's harsh words, the faces of the elders were all ugly.

It doesn't matter if a few servants die, but it's embarrassing to lose face.

Zhao Yanxun trampled on their face, and what happened today is destined to become a laughing stock in the circle.

Fortunately, Wu Yunsheng could see the situation clearly, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The situation is stronger than people, what happened today... can only be admitted!"

They had no other choice but to admit defeat. How could their little arms beat the elephant's leg of Prince Yong's Mansion.

The others have no objection at the moment, they are angry in their hearts, but at this moment they can only recognize the reality and hold back.

Hearing that Zhao Yanxun and his party rode away, Wu Yunsheng walked down the city wall. He planned to collect the corpse and take it home.

But when they went down the ladder, they found that many heads were missing.

"Wang Cheng, where are their heads?" Wu Yunsheng asked with wide-eyed anger.

Wang Cheng was a little guilty, and replied cautiously: "Several lords, the meaning of the lord... said that these more than 30 heads will be hung in various gates of Yuanyang for public display!"

Hanging it at various gates in Yuanyang to show the public, now that the city is under martial law, no one can see where it came from, it is clearly to warn them.

With a cold snort, Wu Yunsheng didn't want to look any further and left when he saw that the soldiers beside him had hung up the heads.

Everyone left, but they didn't get into the carriage immediately. The carriage not far away was waiting for them.

"Brother Wu, should this matter be forgotten?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do? Do you want to take revenge on the palace?" Wu Yunsheng asked back.

Zhao Yanxun even dared to hold Tian Jingtong hostage. In Wu Yunsheng's eyes, this young prince was surprisingly courageous and he could not be provoked.

"It's also my fault for the bad luck. Others can just carry things back, but we were discovered!"

Hearing this, everyone sighed, but they didn't say much after all.

In a sense, these people can actually see the situation clearly.

That's why they sent people out to transport supplies. Every mansion is a big family, and they all have to open their mouths to eat. They, the heads of the family, have to plan ahead.

Wu Yunsheng got into the carriage first, and then set off on the return journey.

Without the leader, even if the rest of the people wanted to make a fuss, they could only die down.

Besides, after Wu Yunsheng got into the carriage, he ordered the driver to drive towards the west city.

The accompanying confidant asked casually, "Master, where are we going?"

"The Hu family has stopped selling grain for the past two days, saying that their grain depot has bottomed out. This time, master, I will make a special trip to see it!" Wu Yunsheng said calmly.

He is a person who can afford to let go, and the matter just now has been left behind by him.

Things like face are useful or useless. For the head of a family, the survival of the family is the most important thing.

"Presumably the Hu family won't let you see the master!" Qin follower said in a low voice.

Wu Yunsheng smiled, and said calmly: "So you also think that the Hu family has stockpiled a large amount of food?"

"Small ones don't dare to speak nonsense!"

Wu Yunsheng didn't say much, the group knew what was going on after seeing it with their own eyes.

Under the martial law of closing the city, Nancheng, which was originally the busiest city, is now completely depressed.

The carriage was driving on the street, the name of the Wu family would allow Wu Yunsheng to travel unimpeded, and of course some money was also necessary.

Just as Wu Yunsheng closed his eyes and rested his mind, he heard crying outside the car window.

"Officer, let's go back right away, right away!"

"Go back? Go back where?"

"Go home..."

"Go back to the fart, go back to the prison with me, his mother...so I let you go back, isn't my trip in vain?"

Perhaps it was pushing people into a hurry, the original quarrel quickly turned into a fight, and then turned into a fight.

The carriage stopped, Wu Yunsheng raised the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master, some untouchables left home privately, were stopped by the officials and arrested, and now they have all been taken away!" The follower replied.

"Um……"

Putting down the curtain, Wu Yunsheng frowned even more.

With the closure of the city and martial law, the big families can still maintain it, but the small people can't bear it. They really can't last long if they don't work.

The poorer ones, who ate their last meal and never finished their next meal, would only do some stealthy activities.

In the early stage, the officials could still be suppressed, but more and more people will be hungry in the future, so what should we do?
In Yuanyang City, there are no more than three thousand officials and soldiers, and even if you count the servants of the major households, there are only five or six thousand at most.

But in Yuanyang City, there are [-] mouths, if they get into a fight... that would be a big deal.

"Perhaps, we can ask the governor's yamen to issue an order to open the city gate...no entry is allowed!" Wu Yunsheng said in a low voice.

These people were forced to die, as long as they opened the city gate and told them to find a way out of the city, they didn't need officials to drive them away, they would rush out by themselves.

After all, ordinary people don't know the horror outside the city.

When thinking about these things, Wu Yunsheng didn't have the slightest burden in his heart. In his eyes, the people at the bottom are pariahs who can be sacrificed.

"Master... Hujiaxiang is in front of you!" The attendant reported from outside the car.

The Hu family doesn't live here, but this is their family's granary, and it is also the largest granary in Yuanyang City.

It is said to be a granary, but it is actually a large yard. In order to guard against thieves, two walls were built in this yard, and the servants stood guard and patrolled it non-stop.

Due to the closure of the city and martial law, of course, the most important thing is to stop doing business. The door of the outer wall of the Hu family's granary is closed tightly at this moment, and there is no one outside.

Getting out of the carriage, looking at the situation outside the granary, Wu Yunsheng said in a low voice: "The show is done... But yesterday morning before dawn, the news that they brought in grain from outside the city couldn't be hidden from me!"

"Master Mingjian!"

"Knock on the door, I've come in person, they don't want to block me easily!" Wu Yunsheng said in a deep voice.

With a wave of his hand, the accompanying servants immediately stepped forward.

But when they were about to knock the door knocker, one of the servants passed through the crack of the door, but did not see the bolt that inserted the door.

"My lord, the door is closed!" the servant reported.

"What tricks are you doing!" Wu Yunsheng cursed secretly.

"Push open the door, go in and have a look, and tell me that I, Wu Yunsheng, have come in person!"

After hearing the order, the servants immediately pushed the heavy door, and there was a "creaking" sound on the spot.

The voice was harsh, and Wu Yunsheng couldn't help frowning.

The door was opened, and several servants stepped into the door, and were frightened by the situation inside.

"Ouch..."
