() Although it is a small county town, it has a history of hundreds of years, and from the street all the way in, at first glance it is relatively lively, but it is inevitable to see some closed shops everywhere, or ordinary people with sad faces.

Even if they are still working and living, there is an indescribable and indescribable atmosphere around them, as if they are in a white hell, and the people around them seem to be alive, but their souls seem to be dead, lifeless.

If they weren't really alive, they really had to wonder if they had seen a ghost, but just looking at this scene, Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong's hearts were already very annoyed, but if this county order had a little conscience, how could they bear the suffering of the people!

But they can't tear their faces so quickly, because there is no evidence, yes, they need to find an opportunity to ask those civilians, let them tell them the various crimes of the county order in person, and then they will punish them and save the people from suffering.

A prank came to mind, Bai Rong pointed to a small noodle restaurant and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something?" ”

Gu Ziyuan naturally followed her, nodded and sat down with her, ordered a lot of food, and the county magistrate behind him immediately stood and didn't sit when he saw this, and in the end, Gu Ziyuan thought he was in the way and asked him to sit next door.

When the shopkeeper served the food, Bai Rong asked with a smile: "This little brother, do you know ......?"

"Ahem, ahem." The county magistrate at the next table suddenly coughed like he had lung disease, and the little two in the store were so frightened that he slipped away in a panic without looking back.

Secretly glared at the county order, and the county order pretended to be unchanged: "Alas, I have an old problem, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

Okay, pretend to be sick, then let you pretend to be enough.

Next, Bai Rong pulled Gu Ziyuan and began to eat and drink, not only buying all kinds of pastries and snacks, but also visiting ready-to-wear and silk shops, in short, buying and buying, buying what he saw, and going to each store in a rainy and dewy manner.

The county order either continued to cough their throats or used their eyes to obstruct their dialogue with the people, which was really annoying.

In fact, Bai Rong also deliberately made the county order deflated, watching the two of them parade through the streets to eat, drink and have fun, but as a result, he was teased like a monkey by a county order, but he could only hold back his face and dare not speak angrily.

On the way, Bai Rong also found that in fact, the civilians here are more or less craftsmen, and they will do a lot of interesting and exquisite handicrafts.

But Bai Rong was determined not to let him continue to swagger and do evil.

Along the way, when His Royal Highness the prince took a fancy to something, the county order was probably to curry favor, or it may be that those people were afraid that those people would come into contact with the prince and what would happen halfway, so the county order had to put on a smiling face and take the initiative to pay for the prince out of his pocket.

The money went into the pockets of the people like water, and most of the people didn't dare to ask for money at first, after all, it was the money of the county order, Gu Ziyuan told his identity and ordered them to take it, so they carefully accepted it.

It's just that they still didn't dare to say anything, and a few people wanted to say something, probably to tell Gu Ziyuan something, but as soon as they saw the county order behind them staring at it, they instinctively shrank their heads and stopped talking.

Bai Rong bought a lot of things on hand, and piled them up for the county order's subordinates to carry, so she would not let go of this opportunity to send others, that is, to make them suffer more.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, they couldn't ask the real situation, and when they passed by an alley, they found a lot of sloppy and desolate people, to be precise, squatting in the dark corners, beggars.

The beggars did not beg for money and food in a whispered voice on the side of the crowded streets, like those in the big towns, but lay down in the alley or like dead bodies, as if waiting for death to come.

Yes, the beggars here are more like waiting to die, and they don't even want to sell their dignity anymore, they don't care if they can live, and they don't care if the other beggars around them will die suddenly.

Seeing that they stopped and looked at those beggars, the county commander thought that they were going to take advantage of these beggars to find trouble with him, and quickly came out with a reason in his heart to deal with it: "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation, these beggars are idle and don't do anything, which is really immoral, but we can't get rid of it." ”

He blamed the fault on the inaction of the beggars, after all, in the eyes of most people, beggars are people who don't want to work hard and just want to be lazy, not to mention where there are beggars, even in the capital.

Seeing this situation, Bai Rong couldn't bear it, even if it was a beggar, it could be regarded as a living human life, so he ordered the things he had just bought but couldn't finish eating to those beggars.

However, when the beggars saw the food, they still looked like they wanted to die without a soul, they were not excited, they didn't want to eat at all, and some of them didn't even raise their eyelids, turned over and continued to sleep.

Are they really all beggars here? It's so abnormal, the expected gobbling didn't happen, but it was terrifyingly quiet, Bai Rong felt creepy, yes, because she could see that they didn't have a little chance of survival.

They want to die, but people are afraid of dying painfully, so they choose to let their lives go away slowly, little by little.

There is no one more like these people.

At this time, a beggar in gray said: "Oh, good Samaritan, you don't have to worry about us, no one here wants to live, give us a meal, can you guarantee that we will always have food in the future?" ”

"How did you become beggars?" Bai Rong couldn't help asking, she felt that people and things here were not so simple.

"Ahem." The county order was pretending to be sick again, and Bai Rong wanted to turn around and warn him not to do this again, but this time, the beggar did not keep his mouth shut as the county order wished.

The gray-clothed beggar suddenly smiled: "Lord County Commander, you don't need to remind me, no one is afraid of my rotten life, and our people here, either they die or become ghosts to find you, will not listen to you!" ”

Gu Ziyuan's face sank: "What the hell is going on?" Please let us know. ”

"Those of us were originally county citizens here, living and working in peace and contentment, and making a living for a bite to eat." The gray-clothed beggar paused, his eyes glaring coldly at the county order.

"As a result, it is this dog county magistrate behind you, who devours our money, who occupies our fields, and pays more taxes than we have earned ourselves, what is this, this is our lives."

Someone shouted: "He is still colluding with the bandits, we don't want to give money, they rob it, if we don't hand over the food, they will beat people, this dog officer is not a human being, he is not even as good as livestock!" Phew! ”
