Wherever the carriage passed, unkempt victims gathered around like insects and ants, holding broken porcelain bowls and shaking their hands to beg for a bite to eat.

Su Bingqing couldn't bear to look at it anymore, reached out and touched a few pancakes in the carriage, and looked at You'an without saying anything.

You'an pressed her hand and shook her head lightly: "Our rations are simply not enough to distribute to so many homeless people. You've read so many books, you should always know the truth that you don't suffer from inequality, and if these outcasts get angry, we can't get out safely. ”

Su Bingqing knew that she was not alarmist, but after a moment of hesitation, the curtain on the car had been lifted by the wind, and those homeless people saw that there were two neatly dressed young women in the car, just as they were a rich lady passing by, and they refused to leave more and more, holding on to the car body, and begging incessantly.

Hungry and red-eyed, can do anything, You'an sighed softly, took out the scattered silver taels from the money bag on his body, lifted the curtain of the car and threw it far away. The silver shimmered brightly in the daylight, making a dazzling arc, and some of the homeless people pushed away their companions and chased after them, picked them up and held them in their hands, but there was no joy on their faces. They were starving all over the wilderness, and it was useless to have money, and they couldn't buy anything to eat.

The others who were slower on their hands and feet stood there sighing, and it seemed that the people in the car were only passing by, carrying money as travel expenses, but there was nothing to eat.

You'an looked out from the side of the curtain and urged the driver to leave quickly.

The official office of the Luozhou Thorn History is built in a simple and majestic manner, and there is a fierce beast carved of bluestone on each side of the door. On the side of the gate, there is also a special canopy, which is used to give porridge to the homeless. The people waiting to get the porridge formed a long, winding line, moving slowly, and everything seemed to be in order.

The car stopped opposite the Assassin's Office, and Su Bingqing was about to pay the driver out of the money, but You'an suddenly raised his hand to stop her: "Don't go in first, just find a nearby inn." ”

"My lord, let's be safe in the government office......" Su Bingqing was already frightened by the homeless people on the road, and always felt that it was not safe on the street.

You'an shook his head lightly: "That's not necessarily, the dog that bites people never shows its teeth, listen to my arrangement, let's go first." She closed her eyes lightly and leaned her head against the wall of the chamber, those homeless people knew that the porridge was being given in front of the government office, but they did not come to take it, and those who took the porridge did not look like they had been hungry for a long time, which was really abnormal.

In the area of Ningyuan Town, there were originally many inns for merchants to settle down and rest temporarily. But because of the famine, many of the shops are no longer open. You'an took Su Bingqing around a few times, and barely found a small storefront, because the owner lived here, but he just vacated two empty rooms to make a little money, so he still opened the door to welcome customers.

The old husband and wife of the shopkeeper came forward with an apologetic face: "If the two girls want to take a break, please take care of yourself, the food is really gone, and there is a little noodle soup in the pot, which we keep to continue our lives, and we don't sell it for any money......"

You'an lowered her head and thought about her own affairs, and replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, let's rest for one night and leave." ”

After the old couple withdrew, You'an tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Assassinate the Historian's Office, we still have to enter, but if we enter through the main entrance, I'm afraid we won't see what we want to see, so I plan to find another way." ”

Su Bingqing had seen how bold You'an was, and wanted to tell her to dispel the idea that it was too dangerous: "My lord, the people here are brave and brave, and there are military guards in the Assassin Historian's Office, if you climb over the wall and go in, I'm afraid you will be caught." ”

"Who said I was going over the wall," You'an smiled slightly, Su Bingqing had just put her mind at ease, and was hung up by her words behind her, "I'm going to sell myself." ”

You'an said to Su Bingqing that in the Assassin's Office, there will definitely be a need to buy slaves and maids in the next few days. Su Bingqing didn't believe it at first, but after just one day, near the back door of the assassin's office, there were really more sneaky people. Su Bingqing quietly inquired, saying that it was necessary to buy slaves and maids to serve distinguished guests in the Assassin's Office, not ordinary slaves and maids, but good looks or from good families.

The so-called "distinguished guest" is naturally Li Dan, who is about to come with rice and grain for the relief of the displaced people.

According to the law, a woman from a good family can sell herself as a slave and maid, and You'an lied to the person who selected the slave and maid in the assassin's office, saying that she was here to join her relatives, and she never thought that she would encounter a disaster year, and her relatives did not know where to go, and she was a weak woman who had nowhere to stay, and just wanted to find a stable place to beg for food. She was born beautiful and handsome, with a hearty temperament that is a little different from that of ordinary women, and she often serves by the side of the queen, and her demeanor is extraordinary at a glance. In a few words, she entered the assassin's office.

Su Bingqing was going to go with her, but You'an insisted on staying outside the official office, telling her that if she still couldn't come back after ten days, she would take the warrant of the queen of heaven and go to the assassination official office to ask for someone.

There were five or six girls who entered the assassination office together, except for You'an, the rest were genuine and had nowhere to go, You'an was just figuring out the current situation and making up the most common lie. In the official office, there is no work that really has to be handed over to them, only a half-aged with exaggerated and weird makeup, who comes to teach them to take care of their bodies every day.

By the afternoon of the third day, the usual people in the government office were gone, and only the noisy and lively sounds wafting from the front yard could be heard, mixed with the sound of moving things. You'an guessed that it should be His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, who had finally arrived.

When it was time to hold the lamp, there was a faint sound of music in the front yard, and after waiting for a while, the old woman who came every day brought a large box of bits and pieces of objects and personally applied them makeup one by one. After drawing his eyebrows and making one, he pushed out the door and asked someone to take him to the front yard to toast the distinguished guests.

You'an didn't flinch out of purpose, but she was still the last, just because she was too slender to be born. The woman applied a thick layer of powder to her face, choking her on the point of coughing, and then cut fish scales into discs and put them on her cheeks to decorate. By the time she was finally done, You'an couldn't recognize herself in the mirror.

"Alright, let's go!" She seemed to be satisfied with her workmanship, pushed You'an out, and closed the door with her hand.

On the east side of the government office, it was originally a dining room for the assassin to eat, but it was temporarily changed to a place for banquets. As soon as You'an entered the door, he saw Li Dan sitting in the center of the guest of honor, swaying slowly to the rhythm of the musicians.

Su Liangqian, the assassin of Luozhou, spoke with an obvious flattering tone: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness has extraordinary attainments in music, and these musicians can play for His Highness, which is really a blessing in three lives." ”
