Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Early the next morning, Yao Shu took Wang Yuanyang and Shen Bei to the city gate to check.

Many ordinary people were gathered in front of the city gate, and they were all blocked from entering. Listening to their wailing, Yao Shu felt even more strange.

She walked forward, grabbed a woman, and asked, "Sister, why are you all gathered here?"

As soon as the woman heard this, she began to complain: "Forget it, I don't know why the county magistrate here has gone crazy, and now he is blocking us from entering. I heard that he is worried that there are too many refugees, which will affect the city's income. But we People originally either wanted to seek refuge in this county, or they wanted to pass through this county.”

Yao Shu understood her words. This county is the hub of important roads. If you go directly from the city, you can save a lot of time.

"This shouldn't be the case. How could the county refuse ordinary people to enter the city because it affects the city's income? What's more, the county is not a very wealthy place, so there is no need to be so decisive." Yao Shu inquired again.

"I also find it strange, but this is indeed what the county magistrate said, and we really have no choice. Now I heard that the county magistrate has relaxed and allows twenty people to enter every day. We are waiting here now, hoping to get in line as soon as possible Team.”

After the woman finished speaking, she waved her hands helplessly, turned around and went aside.

Twenty people can enter every day, and maybe they will get their turn soon. Although there is a waiting time, it is much faster than their detour.

There are still many people around who want to go to the city to see relatives or see a doctor. Now, they are stuck outside the city and are extremely anxious. There is no better way.

Yao Shu observed that there were even people who were residents of this county. Just because after leaving home, the county suddenly issued a policy that no outsiders were allowed to enter, so they were trapped outside.

Even in this case, even if you show your household registration, you are not allowed to enter the city.

Yao Shu felt really strange, so she prepared to return to the inn temporarily and tell everyone everything about the situation here.

After General Ling heard about this, he was furious: "How can this be unreasonable? How can there be such a reason in the world?"

Living people are trapped outside the door, unable to return even if they have a home.

Anyone who hears this will be furious.

Seeing that General Ling could not restrain his anger, he wanted to rush directly into the county town, but was stopped by Yao Shu.

"Now that we have the emperor's orders, we can enter the city easily, and they don't dare to stop us. But don't you think that their policy seems to be guilty and they want to cover up something?" Yao Shu reminded him with a word. The dreamer, everyone thought this thing was very strange.

Now that I heard her clarify, I had an even more enlightenment.

Finally, Haoshu decided to sneak into the county town with Shen Qiu to check. The two came to the bottom of the city wall and walked around, only to find that all the city walls had been urgently reinforced.

Seeing that they had no other way to enter the city, Yao Shu wanted to bribe its officials.

Thinking about it, since they can come up with such a policy, the management system is naturally not perfect enough.

Sure enough, the reason why these common people outside the city gate did not enter the city was simply because the bribe money they gave was too little.

The guard at the door looked at the appearance of the two people, looked up and down to confirm that they were ordinary people, weighed the money in his hands, and smiled with satisfaction.

He stretched out his hand to signal them to go in immediately without being discovered by others.

It was night when Yao Shu and Shen Qiu entered the city. The scene inside the city was very lively, forming a sharp contrast with the outside.

The two of them walked aimlessly in the market, not knowing where to go.

They came to the busiest tavern in the area, ordered two plates of side dishes, and began to listen to their discussion.

The tavern has always been the largest intelligence center, and as expected, they soon heard someone discussing the policy of entering the city.

"I don't know what the county magistrate is thinking about trapping so many people outside."

"Nowadays, there is a serious snowstorm in the north. I heard that the imperial officials will rush there soon. Our place is the only way to the disaster area. If officials come to the city at this time, they will naturally check something along the way."

"Is there something shameful in our city?"

"There are some things that don't need to be said. Everyone knows it well. But this will not have any impact on us. After all, the money goes to the hands of the officials. But when it comes to this, I am a little curious. If the court How will officials react when they find out about this?”

"Who knows? But for now, let's think about how to get people from outside closer to the city. My second uncle is still waiting for me outside the city."

"Looking at their attitude, I'm afraid no one will be allowed to enter the city for a while."

Several people said, raising their glasses to each other.

After clinking glasses, the topic changed again.

Yao Shu and Shen Qiu looked at each other and felt that what they said was really strange.

It has been really strange these past few years, the city has been closed at such severe times. Could it be that they wanted to handle some evidence without being discovered by court officials.

Yao Shu glanced at Shen Bei, who understood immediately, and then came to several people with wine in hand.

"Brothers, I just heard you talk about going into the city, and I really want to know. My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been waiting outside the door for a few days, but no one has been let in. Seeing that the day is getting colder and colder, their bodies are How can I withstand such a torment? Is there any way, brothers, to get people in." Shen Bei is very good at extracting words from others, and saw these people speaking.

At first, these people were very defensive and unwilling to take the initiative to speak.

But the next second, when Shen Bei took out the Shengyang wine, several people's eyes widened.

The aroma of wine overflowed, making them unable to stop.

Several people were greedy for drinks and soon drank too much, and began to discuss the recent events.

After hearing this, Shen Bei felt very shocked.

He didn't expect that there would be so many interest disputes involved.

I never expected that there would be people in this world who would dare to kidnap and sell children's breasts.

After inquiring about the news, he found Yao Shu with a bit of surprise on his face.

Seeing him like this, Yao Shu couldn't help but feel that the matter was serious.

After all, we are all people who have seen the world. How could we be so shocked and frightened like this?

Shen Bei hesitated and didn't speak for a long time. On the contrary, Yao Shu couldn't hold it back and said in a low voice: "Why did you react like this? What happened?"

"Things don't seem to be right, and they are even more complicated than we imagined. This county is actually involved in human trafficking. This is a serious crime that the court focuses on. No wonder these people are so nervous."
