"General? Are you in the house? ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, Gao Maoxue immediately glanced at Liangbi, maybe he was sure that this person was still reliable, he followed and pushed Zhao Wanqing, and said: "I'll deal with it, you go to the black market to be careful, and remember not to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be used by the people in the court to make a fuss." ”

Zhao Wanqing nodded again and again, because the footsteps in the outer courtyard were already close, and she didn't have time to say anything else, but immediately ran in front of Liangbi and said, "Let's go." ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to fly on the roof by herself to leave, but Liangbi grabbed her arm and dragged her to the roof: "Go this way." ”

The remaining four black-clothed men rushed up, quickly put the scholar into the sack, lifted it and followed Liangbi.

During this period, the scholar also called for help, but was frightened by the man in black outside the sack, "If you make another sound, I will throw you down".

Zhao Wanqing was dragged by Liangbi and quickly left the General's Mansion, and then the group stopped in an uninhabited alley, and the scholar got out of the sack, looking like he was shaken: "I gave you all the medicine, can you go now?" ”

Zhao Wanqing shook her head: "No, you haven't told me where the black market is." ”

"Oh, there is a street in Luoyang City called 'Le'an Street' for resettlement of refugees, where is the black market, many traders are following the refugees into the city, you just go directly, and when you get to find a lame one-eyed uncle, if he is in a good mood, he will issue you a black market pass."

Zhao Wanqing felt that it would take a lot of extra time, so she pulled down a bracelet from her hand: "This is a gold and jade concentric chain, which is more expensive than the jade bracelet I gave you last time." ”

Zhao Wanqing didn't expect that she and Jiang Chengyuan went shopping once and bought a trip, and it turned out to be her portable vault, when the jewelry store owner tried to recommend this bracelet to her, she still wanted to refuse because she couldn't accept this "local tyrant aesthetic", but Jiang Chengyuan bought it all with a wave of his hand, and she simply wore it on her body.

As for her little money, it was nothing compared to the gold, silver and jewelry on her body, so she asked Gao Maoxue to help save it in case of emergency.

The scholar's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the valuable things: "Give it to me?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Wanqing nodded, and then when the scholar reached over and wanted to take it, she slammed her hand away and said, "Take me to the black market to find Bai Xuhua, and I'll give it to you." ”

The scholar thought for a moment before replying, "Okay, but you have to tell him not to beat me again!" ”

He said and pointed at Liangbi, who stood expressionlessly.

"Okay." Zhao Wanqing immediately agreed.

The boy said, "Also, we must change our clothes." ”

Zhao Wanqing thought of what Gao Maoxue said, so she agreed.

The scholar looked around, looking familiar with the terrain, and led them to turn left and right in the uninhabited alley, even if someone passed by occasionally, he would be vigilant and avoid it in time.

Walking to an alley at the back of a block, the scholar pried open the corner of the wooden door and removed three wooden boards, so that there was a gap on the door that was large enough for one person to pass.

"Get in here." The scholar said.

Zhao Wanqing then got into the door, Liangbi and the others followed, and the scholar came in last and put the wooden board back up.

Zhao Wanqing looked around the room with not very good lighting, and found that this was a cloth village, the front door was closed, the wooden door they came in was the small door at the back, there were several vents on the wall, there was light to shine in, and next to the display table with all kinds of fabrics, there were many custom-made clothes.

"This is your home?" Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise.

"I don't have a home." The scholar said, "This shopkeeper went out to buy goods, and usually came back in the afternoon, so let's just take two clothes and wear them." ”

"Huh? Isn't that stealing? Zhao Wanqing asked.

"Don't you have a lot of valuable things on you?" The scholar asked rhetorically, "If you stay here, the shopkeeper will die of laughter, and the night clothes of these big brothers are too conspicuous, and they are chased and killed by officers and soldiers, aren't they?" If we swagger and go straight to the street to buy clothes, we will definitely be found out immediately. ”

"It's also ......" Zhao Wanqing reluctantly agreed with the scholar's statement, so she looked down at her whole body, because she was going to the court, so she was still wearing the same official uniform when she went out, and the top hairpin on her head was also a single hairpin, and she couldn't put on her valuable hairpins.

Helplessly, Zhao Wanqing took off the last jade bracelet in her hand and put it on the counter of the store.

The scholar on the side looked at it and asked, "Are you a corrupt official?" Why are there so many valuable babes? ”

"I'm not!" Zhao Wanqing said righteously, "This ...... It was given to me by my future husband. ”

"Then you take all the things he gave you for your own use, aren't you afraid that he will regret his marriage?"

"Oops." Zhao Wanqing was suddenly a little embarrassed, "You care about this as a child?" We're not at the point where we're talking about marriage. ”

As she spoke, she turned around and saw that Liangbi and the others had already changed into ordinary civilian clothes, the black scarves on their faces had been removed, and their swords were wrapped in a long cloth like a stick behind their backs.

"Why are you so self-conscious?!" Zhao Wanqing was surprised.

It's someone else's shop, and she's the one who pays for it......

Liangbi threw a brown dress to her: "By the way, I got one for you." ”

"Forehead......" Zhao Wanqing looked at the aunt skirt he chose for his straight man's aesthetics, and couldn't help but say, "Do I still have to thank you?" ”

Liangbi only listened to her literal meaning, so he replied simply: "No." ”

"I ......" Zhao Wanqing was about to speak, when the scholar came over and took away the long skirt in her hand, and said, "Wear men's clothes, it is difficult for women to get a pass to the black market." ”

Zhao Wanqing chose a good-looking white robe, and then took a folding fan in her hand, and the two swords were still hanging on her side, before leaving, she felt that a jade bracelet was still a little bad for the shopkeeper, and left the only hosta on her head, and replaced it with a wooden hairpin placed on the counter.

The group left Buzhuang, and the scholar led the way, and they soon came to the "Le'an Street" where the refugees were settled.

Compared with the bustling Luoyang City neighborhood, it seems to be much more chaotic and dilapidated, as if the difference between the city's central development zone and the urban village, the whole street is old single-storey wooden houses, the refugees are dressed in tatters, some people's shoes are only left with a gang hanging on their ankles, most of their hair is scattered, like a gathering of beggars walking around the street, all of them are faltering, and they can't distinguish between men, women and children.

Looking at the streets, you can see a few places where rations are distributed, and the queue is long, and when they get there, they will be given a white flour steamed bun, and then scoop a spoonful of water so clear that they can count a total of several grains of white porridge, which is considered to be a distraction.

Zhao Wanqing glanced at the "woohoo" Le'an Street intersection and asked, "Why is it so miserable?" I don't think Daqi is very prosperous? Even in a border city like Linzi, the common people are rich in food and clothing, and there are a row of gold and jade shops, how can there be refugees entering Beijing? ”

The scholar gave Zhao Wanqing an "uninformed" look, and said: "The Great Qi State has long been not united in the same way, the seven county guards are in charge of the army, and the states have almost become vassal states that pay tribute to Luoyang. This time it was a drought in Jingzhou for months, and the peasant households who relied on their crops to eat a mouthful of food had no harvest, and most of the disaster relief funds issued by the imperial court were swallowed up by the Jingzhou county guards, and they had no way to complain, and the people who were closer to Luoyang City went to Beijing en masse to cry out for grievances, and those who entered the city yesterday were already the third batch of refugees. ”

Although Zhao Wanqing nodded from time to time, she couldn't help but ask: "Why do you know so well?" ”

The scholar said: "The people of Jingzhou know everything, only the officials are pretending to be deaf and blind. ”

"What? Nobody cares? ”

Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise, a refugee child who came over happened to fall in front of her, Zhao Wanqing hurriedly helped the person up, but the child looked at her in a panic and ran away in a hurry.

The scholar said at this time: "Who knows if the people in charge of this group of refugees are the same as the Jingzhou County Guard, anyway, the first few times, didn't they also feed the refugees a full meal, and then coaxed people back?" ”

Zhao Wanqing looked at the officers and soldiers who were still pouring white porridge spoonful by spoonful in the distance, and said, "Look at it like this, there is no full food." ”

Liangbi on the side asked impatiently, "Aren't you going to find the black market?" You've come here to observe the people's feelings? ”

"yes." Zhao Wanqing said, "Then let's go first, and come back when I go back later." ”

The scholar said: "Walking on the roof, non-refugees entering Le'an Street will be driven out by officers and soldiers. ”

Zhao Wanqing was puzzled: "Then why didn't we dress up as refugees just now?" ”

The scholar glanced at her before saying, "You and I don't know, anyway, I can't accept that my clothes are not clean, my body is sloppy, and I walk with people who smell on my body." ”

Zhao Wanqing couldn't help but say, "Your requirements are quite high. ”

"Of course, I'm ......," the scholar seemed to think of something, and his voice stopped: "Let's go, I don't like to walk with troublesome women yet." ”

"You ......" Zhao Wanqing had never seen such a difficult child as a scholar, and was about to refute, but Liangbi grabbed her back collar behind her: "The official sedan chair is here." ”

Zhao Wanqing was pulled and jumped onto the roof, perhaps because she turned her head back with curiosity, Liangbi dragged her to stay on the roof for a while, and pointed in the direction to Zhao Wanqing, who was looking around: "Right." ”

Zhao Wanqing looked to the right: "No." ”

Liangbi: "Look a little farther away. ”

Zhao Wanqing raised her eyes slightly, and saw four strong men carrying an official sedan chair coming, following the officers and soldiers in front and behind, and stopped at the entrance of Le'an Street where Zhao Wanqing and they had just stood.

"The ...... of the Six Princes"
