Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

After admiring it for a long time, Lu Ce carefully put it back to avoid Jiang Qiu getting angry after finding out.

The next few days were spent in peace, coming and going from morning till night, until they had to go to the town to buy things, when things became agitated. Although Lu Ce and Jiang Qiu went into the city with the officials, they usually acted separately, and this time was no exception. After agreeing on a time, everyone split up into two groups.

Lu Ce pushed the cart while Jiang Qiu went to buy the necessary ingredients. The two worked in perfect harmony, but both felt the restlessness in the air.

The running of the bailiffs made Jiang Qiu a little panicked: "What on earth is going on?"

"I don't know, let's buy it quickly and get out!"

Lu Ce decided to delay sending the letter because something was not right here.

After hearing what Lu Cedu said, Jiang Qiu didn't hesitate at all. After buying the minimum amount of food, he decided to withdraw first.

But before they could leave, soldiers came to close the city gate. The heavy door made a dull sound when four people closed it together, which went straight into Jiang Qiu's heart. She looked at this scene in horror.

The bright sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the bluestone-paved streets, and a burst of rapid drum beats suddenly rang out.

The people stuck their heads out and saw that the city gates were closed and the guards were holding spears with serious expressions.

"Why is the city gate closed?" someone in the crowd asked puzzledly.

"We've received orders from above that there's an emergency and the city gates need to be closed temporarily." A guard responded simply, with unquestionable severity in his voice.

For a moment, the streets were filled with tension and anxiety. Vendors closed their stalls, pedestrians hurriedly changed their routes, and children looked around curiously, but were held tightly by their parents and quickly walked away.

Jiang Qiu was stunned on the spot. Lu Ce noticed that some yamen runners were running fast. He gave up the food and dragged them to the alley. Before Jiang Qiu could react, he put his arm around her waist and went to the roof to watch closely: "It seems that they are going to force conscription!"

"Recruiting soldiers! Recruiting soldiers!" the yamen runners shouted loudly, with coldness and ruthlessness revealed in their voices.

When the bad news suddenly came, everyone’s first thought was to run!

The people were in panic and fled in all directions. The cries of children and the sobs of mothers mixed together, which was extremely desolate.

Now that the border has been defeated repeatedly, this departure might be a farewell forever. Many young men did not even dare to look at the yamen runners for a second and ran for their lives.

Every look was filled with fear and despair.

An elderly man tried to escape, but was ruthlessly caught up by the yamen runners, who stabbed him in the chest with a sword, and his blood dyed the bluestone red, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!!!

The moment the old man fell down, the whole town seemed to be frozen for a moment, and then great panic broke out, and the smell of fear and death began to permeate.

The yamen runners did not stop, they continued with their tasks, and the selected men could only silently endure this cruel fate.

"Are there any able-bodied men in your family?" the armored knight asked in a cold voice, and every word he said was like a sharp blade, cutting the eardrums of the people.

Immediately afterwards, the young man was ruthlessly dragged out of his home, and the cries of women and children were extremely shrill.

The chosen man looked ashen and his eyes were filled with despair. He knew that there was no way forward.

An old woman staggered out, trying to stop the ruthless attack with her frail body, "Sir, please let my son go. He has not yet started a family, and his mother at home needs someone to take care of her!"

However, the ruthless military law did not allow for any mercy. The cavalry mercilessly trampled upon the old woman's pleas, leaving only her weak cries and intermittent pleas.

Jiang Qiu was angry and sad. She clenched her fists tightly, wanting to break this injustice. However, her strength was insignificant and she could only watch it all happen. The streets were filled with crying and she slowly shed two lines of tears. When she heard Lu Ce talk about conscription, she just listened and let it go.

I didn't expect it to be so tragic!

If this is the case in towns, what about rural areas? ! !

Jiang Qiu kept brainwashing herself, saying that helping others would harm herself, but she claimed to be hard-hearted. Seeing all these scenes, she couldn't help but cover her face and sob: "Why are they like this!"

"There is a shortage of people at the border, and the emperor needs to stay alive. Everyone knows that going to the border is a dead end, and everyone will work hard to save money to buy a life, but people are still needed. The entire town is probably a place that has been designated as an empty city." Lu Ce said.

He had heard before that one should select the people of a city as soldiers!

Only in this way can we better fill the shortage of people and take advantage of the fear in other places to make a lot of money.

"The county magistrate here is either about to leave office or has offended someone."

"So so many people have to be buried with him!" Jiang Qiu questioned, his eyes red.

No matter how many people died, if you only heard about it, it would just be a number. But when you see the purgatory on earth unfolding before your eyes, with separations of life and death constantly happening, you will realize how cruel it is.

Jiang Qiu wiped away her tears fiercely, her voice choking with sobs: "Just now, the old woman gave me a candy, and her son gave me some mung beans when he weighed the meat. A good family was forced to separate, and the only ones left are the elderly, the weak, women and children. How can they survive?"

Lu Ce was speechless.

Atrocities were still being committed below, with the whips in the hands of the yamen runners mercilessly whipping the struggling young men. The sound of torn flesh was intertwined with the wailing.

When the conscripted men saw this scene, they had no intention of resisting at all.

Jiang Qiu took a deep breath, took out a bag of silver, handed it to Lu Ce, his eyes were fierce and his tone was decisive: "Kill them!!!"

The sunlight shines through the sky and falls on Lu Ce's face. He turns his head to look at Jiang Qiu.

Last time she called him out for murder.

Save the innocent woman.

This time she yelled at him to kill someone.

Save the innocent people!

Lu Ce slowly took the bag of silver, which contained more than eighty taels. He looked down at the scene on the street, where a group of yamen runners were committing violence.

He took out the silver, and in the sunlight, the silver shone with a sacred light, and majesty was condensed between his fingers.

With a lift of his wrists, a streak of silver light mixed with sharp murderous intent burst out of the air. The silver light streaked across the sky like a meteor and pierced directly through the throat of the yamen runner.

The noisy scene suddenly became quiet!

Immediately afterwards, silver particles cut through the air at an incredibly fast speed. Before the yamen runners could react, they fell down and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Who? Come out, get out here!" The bailiffs roared, their veins bulging, but there was fear in their voices.

The people knelt down one after another and said, "Please, God, save us."

"Even the gods must have been unable to bear it, so hidden weapons fell from the sky!"

"Wuwuwu, please ask the gods to give us a way to survive."

……

The people kowtowed sincerely, and blood quickly flowed from their foreheads.

Lu Ce tightly grasped the silver in his hand and whispered to Jiang Qiu: "Don't move."

Before Jiang Qiu could react, Lu Ce changed into a red robe with fluttering hems, snatched the knife from the yamen runner, and put it on the leader's neck: "Open the city gate!"
