At this moment, Xiao Guizi behind him suddenly exclaimed.

Chen Jingwen couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Xiao Guizi with some displeasure.

"What's going on? What a fuss!"

Xiao Guizi stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed above the city gate.

"Second, second, second, Master, look..."

Chen Jingwen followed the direction of Xiao Guizi's finger and looked towards the city gate.

His expression changed slightly in an instant. He saw more than a dozen bloody human heads hanging in front of the city gate, swaying slightly in the breeze.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jingwen was also shocked.

It seems that Qingfeng Village is not just as he had thought before. It not only has the ability to control the people, but also has cruel methods!

But what puzzled him was that even though they were so cruel, why were there so few people in Yangzhou City afraid of Qingfeng Village?

The level of vigilance towards Qingfeng Village in his heart instantly rose to another level.

Then, Chen Jingwen turned around and glanced at Ada beside him.

Ah Da nodded in understanding, and quickly walked to the side, bowed to the old man who was carrying a load, and asked,

"Excuse me, old man, didn't you say Qingfeng Village wouldn't kill innocent people? What's going on here?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the head on the city gate with a look of fear on his face.

The old man carrying the load waved his hand and said,

"Oh, you guys came too late and didn't see the situation clearly."

As he said this, he spat at the heads at the city gate.

"Bah! Those people are all a hateful villain who is trying to force his way out of the city with his servants."

"If you disobey the orders of Qingfeng Village and trespass without authorization, you will be hacked to death!"

As he said this, he picked up the burden and was about to turn around.

Ah Da asked in confusion,

"Then old man, are you not leaving the city?"

The old man chuckled.

"It's okay. For someone like me who makes a living outside, it won't have much impact."

"The people in Qingfeng Village said before the lockdown that if the lockdown caused any livelihood problems, they would provide each of us with a daily subsidy of 100 yuan after verification."

"As an old man, I wish Qingfeng Village could be sealed off for ten more days!"

After saying this, the old man picked up his load, turned around, and walked tremblingly towards the opposite side of the city gate.

After getting the answer, Ah Da returned to Chen Jingwen, told him everything, and then stood behind him.

After hearing what Ada said, Chen Jingwen felt extremely complicated.

Is this still a bandit?

Is this still the bright and clear world he is in?

Why do almost all the people in Yangzhou obey the orders of Qingfengzhai?

For just a little bit of silver, no one even dared to stand up and refute Qingfeng Village's rebellious behavior?

at this time,

Xiao Guizi lowered her head and came close to Chen Jingwen and said,

"Second Master, the convoy is coming!"

Chen Jingwen quickly composed himself and turned around to look.

He ventured to the city gate this time not to watch these bandits.

Instead, he was worried that the court's salt tax this year would be withheld by Qingfeng Village, so he came to take a look.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the group of servants and salt workers from before, surrounding a man on horseback, coming towards the city gate.

Behind the man was a long convoy that seemed to have no end.

The group of servants were shouting and yelling as they walked.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way quickly! Can't you see my Second Master is leaving the city?"

"I'm talking to you! Hurry up! Get out of the way!"

"..."

Hearing the shouts of these servants, the people and carriages blocking the way ahead all made way.

Everyone looked at the young man on horseback with an expression of anticipation for a good show.

The orders from Qingfeng Village are no joke.

Those dozen or so heads hanging at the city gate are not just for decoration.

Everyone cooperated and made way for the deceased, thinking that they would not bother with the dead and that they could also enjoy a good show.

At this moment, Jia Lian, who was riding on horseback, listened to the servants like Zhao'er showing off their power and taking advantage of others' influence.
