After a while, Xiao Pan spoke again to comfort Chu Qingli: "It's not like you have gained nothing, have you?" At least now we will arrange the secret guards to investigate Qingtong Teahouse, there is a goal, no, we will always find out. ”

Chu Qingli was only depressed for a while, and when Xiao Pan spoke again, his emotions had already been sorted out, so he showed a smile under Xiao Pan's gaze: "I understand, I am also anxious for a while." ”

Xiao Pan looked at Chu Qingli gently, with a shallow smile on his lips: "Li'er also wants to solve the problem as soon as possible, it's nothing, I just hope you don't put so much pressure on yourself." ”

Chu Qingli nodded and responded, "I will, what are the arrangements for today?" ”

Xiao Pan thought for a while before saying, "Since Li'er is in a hurry, let's go to Wanghai Town to see how about it?" ”

Chu Qingli thought that he would be monitored wherever he was anyway, so it was better to do something, so Chu Qingli nodded: "Then listen to the prince." ”

Xiao Pan pulled Chu Qing away, and the two went out together, and Zhang Lin also came over, Xiao Pan saw Zhang Lin and ordered: "Lord Zhang, please prepare the carriage, let's go to Wanghai Town to have a look." ”

Zhang Lin lowered his head and answered, covering up a trace of strangeness that flashed in his eyes, and then turned around to order, and after a while, someone went out from the side door, this scene was seen by the secret guard, and then the secret guard went back and forth to Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli.

The two of them discussed in a low voice as they walked out: "I'm afraid this Lin is going to send news to Xiao Yuan." ”

Xiao Pan nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case, it seems that this Wanghai Town is indeed a bit interesting." ”

Before the two could say a few words, Zhang Lin had already come over, and Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan stopped talking.

Zhang Lin saw Xiao Pan and Chu Qing from a distance and seemed to be talking, and when he got close to the two, he didn't say anything, there must be something in it, Zhang Lin's eyes secretly swept over Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli, and he didn't see anything unusual, so he withdrew his gaze, anyway, the two of them have been under surveillance, and it is expected that there will be no mistakes, Zhang Lin smiled and said: "The carriage has been ready, the prince and princess please." ”

Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli got into the carriage together, Zhang Lin sat outside the door, the driver was still Zhang Lin's people, and there was a team of people riding horses behind him, saying that they were protecting Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli.

The group went out of the city smoothly, now it is early spring, although it is still cold, but the spring in the south of the Yangtze River always comes faster, whether it is the branches or the ground has begun to sprout green buds, it seems to bring a piece of vitality, but on the contrary, the entire Yangzhou City still carries a layer of depressing death, Chu Qingli always feels depressed in the city, and he feels a breath of fresh air when he leaves the city.

The carriage was running steadily, Chu Qingli looked at the scenery of Jiangnan on the side of the road all the way, thinking that it would be good to come back in March, presumably Jiangnan at that time was really full of flowers and extremely beautiful.

Chu Qingli looked at the scenery, Xiao Pan looked at Chu Qingli, and seeing that Chu Qingli finally showed a relaxed look on his face, Xiao Pan was also a little happier in his heart, it seems that if he has the opportunity, he really wants to take Li'er and Cheng'er to Jiangnan for a while.

As the carriage drove all the way, the mountains on both sides began to increase, and slowly the road became narrower, gradually deserted, Chu Qing was afraid that it was not about to arrive, and sure enough, it was just like Chu Qingli thought, and after a while, Zhang Lin's voice was remembered outside: "Lord and Princess, Wanghai Town has arrived." ”

Zhang Lin's words fell, and the carriage gradually stopped, Xiao Pan helped Chu Qingli to get out of the carriage together, and the two of them got out of the carriage and saw the dilapidated plaque, only to see the landmark standing in front of the town, made of wood, but it couldn't be dropped, as if as long as a little bit of force in the town could make the wooden block with "Wanghai Town" written on it fall.

The group walked inside, there were very few pedestrians on the road, and most of them were old people and children, they saw Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli This group of people were all afraid and hidden, almost in an instant, there was no one on the street, just the town is like this, the village under the town is not even more desolate, the more Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan go inside, the more unsightly they look, it seems that the situation in Wanghai Town seems to be more serious than what Xiao Feng said in the morning.

Zhang Lin on the side also saw that Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli's faces were not good, so he immediately said: "Lord and Princess, you see that we have also been gone for a long time, do you want to find a place to rest and rest?" ”

Xiao Pan glanced at Zhang Lin, and the cold light in this glance made Zhang Lin immediately take a step back and dare not speak again, and then Chu Qingli opened his mouth and asked: "Lord Zhang, as far as I know, Jiangnan has not reported any disasters and epidemics, and Jiangnan is rich, why is there such a dilapidated town, what is going on with Lord Zhang?" ”

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately lowered his head and replied: "It's not that the people in Wanghai Town are delicious and lazy, the princess used to be like this in Wanghai Town, this is all made by Wanghai Town's own people." ”

Chu Qingli turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Zhang Lin and continued to ask, "Oh? I would like to know how this Wanghai Town was done, and I would like to ask Master Zhang to explain. ”

"This ......" Zhang Lin was speechless for a while, looking at Chu Qingli, but Chu Qingli looked like he was still waiting for his answer.

Zhang Lin's brain was crazy, and then he replied: "The young and middle-aged people here have gone to Yangzhou City to beg for a living, and only the old and young women are left, and these people have no labor, so this Wanghai Town is becoming more and more defeated, but all the good ones in Yangzhou City have taken their families to Yangzhou City, and the rest are incapable." ”

After listening, Chu Qingli continued to ask, "Then why is there only Wanghai Town, and other towns don't?" ”

Zhang Lin was silent for a moment before replying: "Back to the princess, this Wanghai Town is near the sea, if there is no prime of life, the old people and children will not use their skills to go to the sea to make a living, and besides, there are few fields in this Wanghai Town, so the people rarely cultivate, so the people here have all gone out." ”

Chu Qingli nodded after listening and didn't continue to ask, but Xiao Pan on the side thought after listening, this is the same as what Xiao Yuan said to him, there is no new information, but is it just like that? Jiangnan geology is suitable for farming, it has always been a place of fast and rich, if a town becomes like this, if it is just the cause of natural disasters, Xiao Pan does not believe it, there must be a disaster in it, even if there is little land here, but there are still a lot of mountains, and a Jiangnan is rich in tea and silk, these two things can be fed.
