"She went out of town to ask for food?" Chu Xia looked at Xiao Ran inexplicably, "What case is so important, she went in some rags on a cold day?" ”

Xiao Ran replied: "My lord, it's still the missing case, I originally wanted her to pass the time, but I didn't expect her to be really serious." If Yang Qing hadn't recorded her appearance, the spies outside the city wouldn't have recognized her. ”

Chu Xia was interested, and asked curiously, "Is it really so similar?" I thought she was white and fat, and she would be robbed as soon as she got in. ”

"My lord, she is different from what we usually see, no one will dare to rob her." After Xiao Ran heard what Yang Qing said, he asked the spies to look for it, and soon passed the news back.

When he heard that he almost couldn't find anyone, he thought that Zhuang Rou would change his face and be disguised.

Xiao Ran personally went to take a look at it from a distance, this didn't need a disguise technique at all, it had already dissolved with the homeless, and it was still that kind of old oil.

I knew that she had been a homeless before, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and now looking at her posture, I'm afraid it was pretty good back then. In terms of age, it's a child's little bully.

The spy said that she almost had a conflict with someone else, but people were scared off by her, and just one sentence to eat you could not scare away a hungry man. I'm afraid I was scared off because I felt that she could really eat people.

In the year of calamity, it is not uncommon for children to be eaten, and children are the weakest, and they are naturally the first to be eaten.

Zhuang Rou, who was young at the time, was afraid that she had seen this kind of scene, and she could survive without the protection of her elders, and she must have been quite fierce enough to make adults afraid.

Xiao Ran could think of it, and he knew that Chu Xia could think of this layer even if he didn't look at it.

Chu Xia waved his hand and said, "Then let her play, let our people pay attention, stay away from her when you go out to spread rumors, don't be caught by her on the spot." Maybe after hearing so many rumors about herself, she came back angry. ”

"The subordinates have already ordered everyone to stay away from her. However, she seemed to be at the soup kitchen, and she didn't run too far, probably trying to find out who was going to find out. Xiao Ran analyzed, after all, Zhuang Rou really didn't have anything big in his hands.

If you want to investigate that kind of small case, you can check it, pretend that the homeless person is hungry for a few meals, and she will come back to eat honestly.

Chu Xia got up and shook his clothes, "Let's go, I'll go meet those local rich people who want to get support, as long as the juniors brought are not women, and they have some ability and cleverness, I will give them a chance to glorify their ancestors." ”

He hated those clan chiefs and wealthy families who had prestige in Hongzhou and spoke to the local people.

These people are flattering on the surface, but behind the scenes, they always want to work against the government he leads. Look at the officials in this state capital, most of them are related to the local clan, and they don't know what the officials do to eat, and there are rules that officials can't go back to their hometowns to become officials.

If you want the hearts of the people in Hongzhou to turn towards him, you can only replace these people, including officials.

Those who have prestige in the local area, and their children are really promising, so they can naturally find a way to find someone to help. The people who will spend so much money to buy this place are the ones who don't have these old ways, but they are trying to find opportunities.

People who dare to shoot grapes under this kind of pressure have great ambitions and ideas, and this mind is exactly what Chu Xia wants.

He went to the front with great interest, and Mingli said that he was asking those people to come and chat with the prince, but what is the use of that kind of waste, of course, it is to talk to him.

When the porridge was given outside the city, Zhuang Rou didn't go to receive it, she came out after eating in the yamen, and now she is not hungry at all.

Anyway, there will be a lot of food vendors outside the city, and the things sold are a little better than Guanyin soil, and they won't survive until they die of bloating, but they are good things when they are full.

It's been a long time since I've eaten anything like this, so it's good to try it.

The person who received the porridge and steamed buns sat next to him and drank the porridge in a big gulp. I grabbed the steamed bun with dirty hands and stuffed it into my mouth, accidentally dropped some slag to the ground, and I didn't think it was dirty and quickly picked it up and put it in my mouth.

There are more than a dozen soup soup kitchens, and it took nearly two hours to finish all of them, and the people in the back of the queue have no steamed buns, so they can only scrape the cauldron to a clattering sound, and scrape some porridge paste from above.

This Zhuang Rou knew that if he kept it skillfully, he could scrape out a thicker porridge paste from the pot, which was much thicker than the porridge beaten before.

Most of the homeless people who slept here in the middle of the night, and had finally eaten a meal all morning, were scattered. There were only a few half-grown children left, holding broken bowls that had been licked cleanly, and waiting for a while to beg for something to eat.

After waiting for a while, the group of children suddenly got up and ran into the distance.

Zhuang Rou looked up and saw that small vendors selling food appeared one after another, and the small cart that these children pounced on was pushed by Chef Liu.

"Grandma, give me a stutter!"

"Grandma, I'm hungry, my sister is dying of hunger."

"Grandma'......"

The children circled around her, holding the broken bowl in their hands, and kept calling out to their grandmother, saying that they were very pitiful.

Chef Liu seemed to be used to them, stopped the cart and said, "Don't worry, I brought bean dregs today, and everyone has a spoonful." ”

The children immediately quieted down, holding bowls around her, and watched as Chef Liu made a big spoonful of hot bean dregs for each of them. Hiding the bowl in their bosom and covering it with their own rags, the children ran to the shed.

After sending these children away, Chef Liu pushed the cart for a while, and then stopped and started selling bean dregs cakes. This is the leftover material for making tofu, which is used to feed pigs on weekdays, and now it has become a delicious food to fill the stomach.

Because it is worthless bean dregs, you can buy two large bean dregs cakes for one penny, and it is more cost-effective to buy okara cakes for those who have one or two pennies on hand.

Zhuang Rou watched Chef Liu sell cakes there from a distance, and her business was so-so, but she always looked down on those poor people, and it was common to sell three for a penny. When he met those women with babies, or those with injuries on their bodies, they gave them a cake with red eyes.

Watching her do this business, Zhuang Rou couldn't help but slander, also because Chef Liu didn't have to think about eating, and the silver she gave her was used to spend it like this, so that she could give away food so generously.

However, Zhuang Rou also saw some effects, there was a poor woman who often came to beg for food and sell it, and gossiped with Chef Liu there, but she didn't know when the woman would come.

Suddenly, there were three knocks on the steamer from Chef Liu's side, and Zhuang Rou immediately looked over. I found a woman carrying a child in front of the stall, and took a penny to buy okara cakes.

It turned out to be this ......

Zhuang Rou looked at her carefully, and wanted to impress her appearance and every move in her mind, even if she was mixed in the crowd, she had to recognize her at a glance.

Chef Liu looked up and looked around at this time, and didn't find where Zhuang Rou was at all, she wanted to knock again, but she didn't dare to knock when she thought of the previous advice.

The woman bought the bean dregs cake and hid it in her arms, and walked back with the baby on her back, Zhuang Rou also stood up, and was about to follow her when a team of people suddenly came from the other side of the city.

The group of people came on horseback, did not take the official road, frightened the homeless people on the road to dodge, and soon rushed to Zhuang Rou.

As she staggered by, she saw the face of the horseman clearly, it was the two grandsons of King An, with a group of guards and Fan Tongzhi's son. They carried bows and arrows on their backs, dressed in hunting clothes, and their bright cloaks fluttered in the wind, and the wind passed through the dust among the homeless people.

"Hunting in this season?" Zhuang Rou frowned suspiciously, but didn't pay much attention to them, withdrew her gaze and went with the woman.
