C16 All Living Things

There were others who took advantage of the chaos to rush into a store and start snatching up the goods, then leave in big and small bags.

As long as they could return home alive and hide, for them, tonight would be a fruitful night.

And the worst part would be the shops on the main street.

Across the street, Qin Murong could also see the soaring flames of the Pavilion of Delicacy. This was definitely not a place for thieves to attack. It was the place where the robbers robbed everything. In order to get rid of the evidence of their crimes, they must kill whoever they saw and set fire to it.

This showed the benefits of the bean shop.

Although it was valuable to only sell beans and tofu, no one wanted to rob it at all.

In addition, Qin Murong had already let everyone out long ago, and even Xue Dazui had given him a holiday. Now, the entire shop was dead silent. Even if someone came, it was still quiet. It was also stealing something unimportant, no loss if there was no conflict.

"How long will this chaos last?"

Qin Murong sighed and muttered.

However, he was not only worried about the chaos. He was worried about what would happen after the chaos.

Especially if Third Prince was really assassinated and died...

Even if the thief succeeded, they must have their own motives for doing this.

If they dared to touch the crown prince, This meant that this matter must have something to do with the country.

Was it internal strife? Or was it an invasion from another race?

Qin Murong could not say for sure. The worst case scenario would be the instability of the court. The invasion of the Northern Qi had dragged the Great Liang Country into the chaos. The best way to solve this problem was to find the murderer at the first possible moment. The sooner they could give the world an explanation, the sooner they could put an end to the rebellion of the ambitious families.

Therefore, for the Wei City, there must be a great purge.

In the process of the purge, there was nothing more than overdoing it. Many innocent people would have to suffer because of it.

What worried Qin Murong the most was this. After all, the Jiang family still had a medicinal Refined Iron transaction going on. He hoped... that it would not be related to this matter. At that time, he would not get any benefits. He would be a fat son-in-law full of bad things. He would also have to suffer an undeserved calamity.

Fortunately, he had such a secret room.

Even if things really developed to an irreparable stage, the things inside would at least allow three people to live here for four to five years!

There was even a sewage system here, as well as a deep well. The water in the well was almost the same as the spring water, and it was really a little sweet. The living conditions were extremely perfect, almost perfect.

Letting out a long breath, Qin Murong could not help but think that if he trained well here for a few years, would he be able to compare to Xiao Lann's physical fitness when he went out?

He thought it was easy.

However, the entire Wei City was experiencing the darkest moment for many years.

It was as if the chaos would never stop.

It was not until the third quarter of an hour did the chaos on the street disappear. People were either dead or found a place to hide.

Qin Murong saw a mother running away with a child on the street with his own eyes. He almost couldn't resist rushing out to save her. Luckily, they succeeded. They hid in a corner and covered themselves with a basket. After the crowd passed by, they left immediately and went home as fast as they could.

There was an old man who was not so lucky. He was hit by someone who took advantage of the chaos and fell to the ground with a stick. Obviously, he could not survive.

The corners of Qin Murong's eyes twitched violently.

Although he could think of it, seeing it with his own eyes still had a huge impact on him.

Now that he had finally calmed down, he felt slightly relieved. At least he did not feel that much pressure.

From time to time, there would be soldiers and some civilians walking on the streets at the same time.

Such a combination was very strange.

Qin Murong knew they were thieves!

Silence. As expected, it meant that the matter had ended at a certain stage.

Right now, the person walking on the street was a thief. In other words... the thief had won!

However, they were nervously searching everywhere. This also meant that they might not kill Third Prince.

Maybe Third Prince had already run away.

Otherwise, they would not have stayed here. After all, the Wei City was surrounded by the army, which belonged to the Guards Legion Corps. As long as the army entered the city, they would be like turtles in a jar.

It was very strange.

Everything was a little strange.

Qin Murong decided not to waste his time on this. Coincidentally, he was still a little hungry.

He turned around to look for some food. However, there was a bang on the wall, which gave him a shock.

He hurriedly looked through the small hole and saw a few people sneaking over and squatting under the corner. One of them was about to go and get a basket. It was the mother and son pair that had used it before.

"Damn thief, how dare you be so audacious! Let's see if this king will send troops to destroy their main altar when we return!"

A young man dressed in peasant clothing whose face was painted black with mud gnashed his teeth as he spoke.

His teeth were very white, and when paired with his dark face, they were extremely obvious under the moonlight.

"Damn it! Today is a full moon!"

An old man dressed like a farmer next to them immediately whispered, "Your Highness, keep quiet. We finally managed to escape during the chaos. We must not let them find us."

Another person said, "Yes, Your Highness. Shadow has already died for you and so many soldiers. In order to protect Your Highness, they have suffered heavy casualties!"

Third Prince said angrily, "Isn't this because you are at a disadvantage?"

While they were talking, a group of people suddenly came out from the corner of the street. Third Prince turned around and hid behind the old farmer. He was shivering and his face was full of fear.

The group of people were very nervous.

However, they found that they were just a group of civilians. They ran to the side sneakily. When they saw them, they panicked and ran even faster.

Those who took advantage of the situation would also take advantage of the fire to steal. They were relatively timid.

This time, Third Prince and the others let out a sigh of relief.

The old man said, "If we rashly move now, it will be very easy to be suspected and easily discovered. Why don't we stay here and hide? They must think that we are already very far away, so it will be safer this way."

After saying that, the old man put the basket on Third Prince's head and placed him in a pile of junk. He looked very secretive.

But...

The basket was moving.

It was shaking violently.

It was like a sieve.

The old man frowned.

This... what should he do?

At this moment, two soldiers passed by. When they saw the group of people, they immediately rushed over.

However, there were either old people or middle-aged people inside. Naturally, there were no targets.

The old man's position was cleverly blocking the shaking earth basket.

The person beside him had even more excellent acting skills. He shouted loudly, "Hurry and save us! We are ordinary people and we don't know anything. We are separated from our families. Lord Official, please help us!"

The other party was obviously a thief, but this was the most correct way of putting it.

The two soldiers looked around and then looked in another direction. They did not pay attention to this place.

The old man walked over and patted that person's shoulder. When he found that the other party's back was covered in sweat, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's really hard on you."

The man smiled bitterly and said, "To help His Highness, it's naturally something that we should do."

Then the two of them laughed.

However, when they turned their heads to look at the basket, the worry on their faces could not disappear no matter what.
