But before the two of them could investigate other things, there was a riot in Shuzhong that shocked the whole court.

And after the riots, those refugees who had suffered disasters poured directly in the direction of the capital, wanting to stay at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital and seek refuge.

And for this matter, it also made the ministers feel very embarrassed, and it was even more embarrassing for the emperor.

You must know that although the capital is prosperous, in the final analysis, it is just a region, and it also has a certain land area.

There are already enough people in the capital, and now if so many refugees pour in at once, it has to be said that it is too difficult.

And these refugees who have just poured into the capital from Shuzhong have no food or water to drink along the way.

As soon as they poured into the city, they didn't care at all, just like a robber, they went directly to the shops of small merchants and vendors, and robbed the food inside, so as to fill their hungry stomachs.

With the sudden influx of these refugees, the capital city, which was in good order itself, suddenly became extremely disturbed. Not only is the population suddenly increasing, but there are many people who cannot be registered at all, and there is no way to register them.

It is even more because this group of refugees, without work, has no other way to satisfy their hunger than to rob food to satisfy their hunger. And even if some big families can't look past it, giving them porridge is just a small fight in the final analysis.

After all, even if they are wealthy businessmen, they have a certain bottom line, and after giving again and again, the number of refugees will only increase, and they will not be able to bear this kind of payment after all.

Seeing that these refugees are in trouble again, the competition between the two factions above the court has become more and more intense.

Among them, above today's court, there are two major factions.

One faction is to let other refugees from the outside world enter the city together, and then settle down together, and then send them back after the matter in Shuzhong is resolved.

The other faction, after hearing the proposal of the pro-faction, resolutely refused without the slightest hesitation.

In their opinion, this group of refugees suddenly poured into the capital like this, and the burden on the capital was too great, and the living area in the city could not accommodate so many refugees at all.

In this case, these refugees entering the city will have no effect except to bring a huge burden to the capital.

Those who support one faction can't help but sneer when they see those who oppose one faction saying these too selfish words.

"Lord Zhu is really a good calculation, so what? Is it possible to really ignore these people? Do you know how much impact it will have on Your Majesty's reputation and how much impact it will have on our group of people if all these refugees were expelled today?! ”

"If you let these refugees go out like this, do you know if they will go somewhere else and be forced to do something they have to do in order to fill their stomachs?!"

Master Zhu, who was being reprimanded, listened to his words full of annoyance, but he didn't care much about his stomach, and slowly spoke: "Do you think it's a good thing to bring this group of refugees in?!" The refugees are homeless

What if a mob gets in? How long will the treasury be able to support this group of people?! ”

The minister who was refuted, when he heard this, was immediately angry, "You! You're unreasonable! ”

Master Zhu, who was reprimanded, glared at him deadly, "Hmph! It's to see whose idea is really good for the people! ”

After saying this, Lord Zhu, who had a big belly, glanced sideways at the officials behind him.

I saw that the official nodded very slowly and lightly after seeing Lord Zhu's expression.

Seeing that the man nodded, Master Zhu, who knew that things were going on, couldn't help but have a look on his face that became a little thicker.

When the people above this court were divided into two factions to argue, they didn't know that Lord Zhu, who had refused to enter the city with these grass refugees, had already attacked these people one step in advance.

Beijing, on Chang'an Street.

"Stop! Little bunny, I'd like to see where else you can go! The bearded man who was scolding him was now shuttling through the alley, holding a full and thick stick in his hand, and was running after a dirty child.

Behind the bearded man was a woman with the same tattered clothes and a stained face, who was lying on the ground due to exhaustion.

And even though the woman is already like this, the light that bursts out of those eyes is amazingly bright, and the woman's wrinkled hands like tangerine peel are even more unwilling to give up and stretch forward.

If anyone were willing to listen at this moment, they would surely be able to hear the woman lying on the ground, muttering and pleading, "Don't ...... Leave my dogs alone, let my dogs go...... Dog ...... Come on...... Hmmm......"

The woman who was lying on the ground, before she could finish her muttering, was suddenly swung with a stick.

"Damn, this old immortal can really bear it, he hasn't died after being beaten so many sticks by Lao Tzu!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man, while saying words of disapproval, continued to wave the stick in his hand, and kept falling on the woman's body.

She is just a woman in her last years, and it is only because she wants to protect her children that she has been able to persist to this point.

Now under the beating of this stick, how can we continue to persevere?

In the end, the woman who couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes were open, and the light in them gradually dimmed, "Dog...... Dog ......"

After muttering the child's name at the end, the woman's outstretched hand also hung down completely.

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man, after seeing that the woman was completely dead, spat at her corpse, "It's really a pariah, Lao Tzu is finally dead when he beats like this!" ”

I saw him raise his foot on the woman's body again, and after kicking it a few times in succession, he walked in the direction that the bearded man had just run over.

"Lao/Hu, did the kid catch up? I've solved this old immortal, and we have to deal with other untouchables! Don't delay the adults! ”

The mustachioed man who was called came back from around the corner after the screams of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man.

However, Lao Hu, who walked back, was full of impatience on his face, "This little cub is really fast, wait for the next time I see him, see if I don't teach him a good lesson!" ”

The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, when he saw that Lao/Hu had lost his hand, immediately laughed, "Hahahaha, Lao/Hu, you haven't been doing much recently, how can you still run away for a little cub?" ”

Lao/Hu snorted impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, continue to solve other refugees." ”

The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, seeing that Lao/Hu had already walked away, hurriedly followed behind and chased after him, "Alas, alas, wait for someone, my lord has given us a task order today, if you ......"

As the voice of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man became smaller and smaller, the figures of the two gradually disappeared completely into this small alley.

Not long after the two disappeared, they saw the sky above the alley, and suddenly flew down two people dressed in black.

Seeing that the two of them didn't have any extra movements, they directly picked up the woman who was lying on the ground and had completely lost her breath, and flew away again.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still the woman's blood on the ground, which was spat out during the beating, confirming the truth of what had just happened, I am afraid that no one would have remembered what had happened here.

And with the movements of these people, the people in the city soon noticed that something was wrong.

On weekdays, as soon as they go out, they must be able to meet the refugees who are constantly pouring out, and they can be said to be unable to stop trying to avoid these people on weekdays.

But soon they found that with the passage of time, the refugees in Shuzhong in this city not only did not increase, but became fewer and fewer.

Especially compared to the beginning, the number of refugees that can be seen today can be said to be very small, and sometimes it is even possible to see a few when passing through the dirty alleys.

In fact, what the crowd in the capital didn't know was that this group of Shuzhong refugees found that there were fewer and fewer people around them, and there were many of them, who could be seen one second and suddenly disappeared without a trace in the next second.

This kind of thing quickly spread among the refugees, and as the news spread, everyone gradually became aware of it. The sudden disappearance of these people was due to the fact that someone in the city had begun to secretly assassinate them.

As long as they leave one or two alone, they will be completely wiped out by the other party.

In this extremely terrifying atmosphere, everyone also came in unscrupulously from the beginning, and when they traveled on the long street of the capital, they gradually evolved into groups, traveling cautiously, for fear that they would be killed by that group of people because they were alone.

It is precisely because of this that the people in the capital feel that the refugees in Shu are becoming fewer and fewer.

And then in this capital, these things happened at the same time.

On the outskirts of the capital, on the mass graves, during this time, they were full of ragged clothes and messy hair, and it was obvious that they looked extremely thin because they had never been full and were overly hungry.

And in the midst of this, under the situation of layers of corpses, the blood flowing from their bodies is even more terrifying.
