Seeing this situation, even if Qin He was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but frown.
Li Yang, who was sitting in front, naturally saw this scene and asked immediately.
"Brother Qin, what should we do now?"
After hearing Li Yang's words, Qin He thought for a while and finally spoke.
"We'd better go to the city first."
After hearing Qin He's words, Li Yang, who was sitting in front, gave a wry smile.
"Brother Qin, look at the current situation, how can we move forward even half a step?"
Li Yang was indeed right, because at this moment their road was completely blocked by the people surrounding them.
At this time, a roar sounded.
"You untouchables, get out of here and stay out of the way."
Along with the bursts of angry curses, Qin He also looked in the direction of the sound.
At this glance, he discovered that the people who made the angry curses were none other than the soldiers guarding the city gate.
These people are armed with spears and swords at their waists, and they give people a sinister look at first glance.
However, even under such circumstances, they still did not take the initiative to leave. On the contrary, they were all surrounding him at this moment. Near Qin He's carriage, I want to get some money, property or food.
Of course, this directly caused those soldiers to be completely angry and did not care about the lives or lives of the refugees. He took a spear and stabbed the crowd directly.
The next moment, a shrill wail came out.
Many of the refugees who were standing in front were stabbed to the ground, and soon the scene was filled with wailing.
However, this situation did not last long.
Perhaps because death seemed so insignificant in the face of hunger, many people simply ignored the actions of the soldiers guarding the city.
Not only did they not have the slightest intention of retreating, on the contrary, more and more people were surrounding them.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers who had been left behind to guard the city suddenly lost their patience when they saw this scene.
The spear in his hand was no longer wary, but he stabbed directly at the refugee gate.
This time there was a sudden burst of wailing.
Different from before, now there are even more deaths.
Seeing the current situation, Qin He's brows couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, he didn't expect the situation to develop to this point.
But he also knew that if these refugees were allowed to continue like this, it would only become more chaotic.
The necessary means are certain, but it does seem a bit excessive.
Seeing more and more people falling down, the refugees gradually regained their senses and disappeared one after another.
Qin He also contributed to this. During this period, Qin He interceded with the soldiers guarding the city more than once.
If not, there might have been more casualties.
When the refugees were almost dispersed, Qin He took a breath, looked at Li Yang who was driving ahead and said.
"Leave some food for them."
Li Yang also nodded after hearing this.
Now that they have arrived outside the capital, the dry food in the car is obviously not needed, so they simply distribute the food to the refugees.
Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the past, the refugees did not rush forward in droves this time. Instead, they hid in the distance and waited for Li Yang to distribute food.
Because the refugees had retreated, the soldiers guarding the city also returned to their respective posts. Looking at Qin He's actions, there was a look of extreme disdain on their faces.
Perhaps they have long been accustomed to seeing this scene.
Qin He and the others have long been accustomed to such behavior.
It can be said that judging from the current situation, Qin He's actions are just a drop in the bucket and will not have the slightest effect.
Of course, Qin He would not pay attention to these things. After all, he did what he could.
As for the final destination of these refugees, he had no idea.
After all, this is not something he can decide.
The carriage finally started to move forward slowly, and when it was about to reach the city gate, suddenly an old man with white hair rushed out and knelt in front of Qin He's carriage.
Seeing the old man suddenly appearing, Qin He also looked out of the car window.
Li Yang was a little embarrassed, looked back at Qin He and asked.
"Brother Qin, this..."
However, before Qin He could speak, the old man's voice came out.
"Sir, I'm not asking for food. I just want to ask you to help us with something."
Hearing this, Qin He couldn't help but become interested.
After all, this was the first time he heard someone among the refugees saying they didn't want food, so Qin He immediately asked.
"Old man, tell me, if I can help, then I will of course help, but if I can't, then there's nothing I can do."
When the old man heard this, his face showed a hint of joy, and he immediately spoke.
"My lord, I think you have also seen our current situation. I hope that your lord can hand this letter to the current saint."
When he heard the old man say this, Qin He frowned.
"Old man, I'm afraid I can't agree to this. After all, I'm just an ordinary businessman. How can I meet the current Holy Emperor?"
However, what Qin He didn't expect was what the old man said next.
"Sir, I'm afraid only you can handle this matter."
Qin He was a little confused, why was the old man in front of him so determined that he was going to meet the saint?
Then he asked out of curiosity.
"Old man, I'm very curious, why are you so sure that I can meet the current saint?"
After hearing this, the old man still knelt on the ground and said.
"I guess you are not from the capital, right?"
Qin He didn't feel strange about the old man's words. It wasn't unusual to hear that he didn't have a local accent.
"The accent I heard must be from Qinghe City. I have a relative who happens to be in Qinghe City, so I knew right away that you are not a local."
Qin He was not surprised by such an answer and did not answer the old man's words. Instead, he waited for the old man's next words.
"The person who can come to the capital from Qinghe City at this time, I think you should be the great hero who wiped out the Japanese pirates."
Qin He was quite surprised to hear this. After all, he didn't expect that what happened in Qinghe City had been spread here.
In this way, the old man in front of him really found the right person when he stopped him.
Thinking of this, Qin He asked Li Yang to hand him the thick stack of letters handed over by the old man.
When Qin He unfolded the letter and saw the words on it, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.
The five characters "Petition of the Ten Thousand People" are clearly written at the beginning of the surname.
The content of the letter tells the fact that ordinary people have been displaced.
As for the bottom of the letter, there are tens of thousands of refugees signing their names.
Seeing this, Qin He couldn't help but feel moved.
