Chapter 502: Walking in the Water

One morning and noon, Xia Qingyang was busy leading people around looking for food.

Anyway, the bigger the noise, the better.

In the afternoon, almost everyone in the city knew that the eldest princess's food had been stolen, and she couldn't give porridge or white noodles.

Can this be done!?

It's like falling from heaven to hell. It's not that I'm in hell, it's that I've been to heaven.

The people of Vena City feel this way now.

And the most uncomfortable thing is actually the people who didn't receive the white face yesterday-

Due to the large number of households in the city, the noodles are divided into two groups: the east and west of the city.

Yesterday, the people in the east of the city were originally scheduled to go to the west of the city today.

As a result, the noodles were stolen overnight, and the people in the west of the city must be dissatisfied.

Of course, the so-called "large number of households" is just an excuse for the outside world, and in essence, it is to create such an effect, so Xia Qingyang organized the model of two days before and after.

After all, it is an eternal truth that there is no shortage but unevenness.

Sure enough, most of the people who followed the army of officials on this day to look for food on the streets were people living in the west of the city.

"Good man, take a break. Well, we pooled our money to buy you some poria cake and sesame paste, why don't you eat some first? ”

Some people came to Xia Qingyang with snacks and snacks, Xia Qingyang thanked him busily, and then borrowed the table of the tea stall next to him to beckon everyone to sit down and eat together.

In this way, it seems that the time is almost up. Mr. Hua should take action.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xia Qingyang heard someone on the street shouting "Oh no" and running this way.

"Oh, my heart, I can't even hear the word 'bad' now." The people sitting next to Xia Qingyang covered their hearts and complained.

"Something's wrong." Xia Qingyang leaned over and stopped the person and asked.

"Good man, you are here." The man half-crouched down, pointed behind him, and said, "Go and have a look, there's a house over there that is out of water!" A lot of people went over to help, and I heard that someone saw that it was full of rice, flour and food, maybe it was the one that was stolen! ”

"What ?!!" The reaction of the people was bigger than Xia Qingyang, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”

Saying that, two people stuffed Poria cakes in their mouths, and ran away with Xia Qingyang on the left and right.

Xia Qingyang: Huh, huh——

-

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the water was walking, they saw that there were enough people who were busy fighting the fire, and these people who came with Xia Qingyang did not go up to add to the chaos.

Instead, they gathered together and talked about who the owner of the yard was, the damned grain thief.

"Anyway, this yard seems to belong to the blacksmith Lao Li's family?"

"No, Lao Li hasn't lived here for a long time. I heard that this place was requisitioned by the city lord yesterday afternoon and lived for those officials from the capital. ”

"Ah, then Zuo Cheng are all right inside, right?"

"It should be fine. I just heard from the firefighters next to me that it was the backyard wing that was on fire, and the people who lived in the front yard ran out when they found out that it was on fire. ”

"That's fine, that's fine. No, if the fire inside is really grain, it won't be the grain stolen by those officials. ”

"It's not impossible! In addition to the official who knows martial arts, do you think which of our ordinary people has the ability to knock out two good people, and transport so much food away in a few hours. ”

"That's it, those officials have a very bad temper. I heard that the night before yesterday they had beaten the hungry people at the gate of the city, saying that they should have supplied more important people with food, and that they had come into the city because there was not enough food for the march, and that they had to take food from us. ”

"Why is he so big-faced? Now who has any surplus food for him, we will eat wild vegetables ourselves. ”

"So, didn't he see the food that the eldest princess gave alms. If they didn't run away, they must have stolen it. ”

", why don't you leave people alive? Let me tell you, if Lao Tzu is dying, he will definitely want to drag these dog officials to death together, and see! ”

"Hey, look, that Xu Jiaotou is here! The lord of the castle and the eldest princess were also there. ”

"Okay, the eldest princess will definitely be able to judge everyone!"

Xia Qingyang quietly listened to the conversation of the people in suppressed volume, knowing that the past two days have not been in vain.

As for the performance effect of the second half of this scene, it depends on the next one.

The fire was finally extinguished.

People covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and walked into the backyard wings that were still smoking.

"How do I know where these things come from. If you really want to ask, you have to ask the original owner of the house, right? Xu Jiaotou was furious.

How could he not have heard the people muttering something to him.

But he really didn't know anything about it.

"Xu Jiaotou, this ...... Before the house was given to you, I personally brought the servants to see it, and I was sure that there were no such things in the wings......" Fan Xi said quieter and quieter.

Ren Yi patted Fan Xi's shoulder, as if to give the other party confidence: "Xu Jiaotou, can you give an explanation." ”

"I didn't do anything, how can I explain it." When facing Ren Yi, Xu Jiaotou's temper was still a little more restrained.

But then, the anger in his heart was stirred up by the gossip of the people-

"What, the physical evidence is still there, and it's still quibbling."

"That is, I have seen the bags of grain for the good people, just like the ones that were not burned in them."

"If it hadn't happened to go out of the water, they would have succeeded in it. After all, who would dare to come to check where the official lived. ”

"God opens his eyes."

Xu Jiaotou was about to explode.

But he couldn't find out who was talking nonsense. There were so many onlookers that everyone was looking at him with disdain and anger.

"By the way, the Yin family can prove it. You ask him, did we leave this courtyard yesterday?! ”

Xu Jiaotou turned his head and went to find Yin Zuocheng and Mrs. Zuocheng, who were sitting next to him resting-

Mrs. Zuo Cheng woke up this morning. Empress Yin came over to take a look, and then went to concentrate on concocting the medicine for the city lord's wife again.

At this time, Yin Zuocheng helped the weak Mrs. Zuocheng, lowered his eyes and said, "Before going to bed yesterday, Xu Jiaotou and several officials really didn't go out. ”

Xu Jiaotou: "Look! ”

Yin Zuocheng raised his eyelids: "But when the child is around, the old man falls asleep, and what happened from the time of the child to this morning, the old man doesn't know." ”

Xu Jiaotou: "You! ”

Xia Qingyang stood in the crowd and laughed when he heard this, thinking that Yin Zuocheng's reaction was fast enough.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she turned her head and glanced at an alleyway on the side of the street.

Next to the small courtyard that caught fire was a two-story ready-to-wear store.

More than ten seconds later, three men in black suddenly flew down from the ready-to-wear store.

In the exclamations of the people, two of the black-clothed people, one grabbed Yin Zuocheng, and the other carried Mrs. Zuocheng, and they were about to fly away.

Xu Jiaotou reacted very quickly and immediately pulled out his knife: "Someone wants to rob the prisoner!" Stop them! ”
