The ash cake is mainly baked with sorghum flour mixed with a small amount of wild vegetable powder and white flour.

This kind of grain is drought and waterlogging-resistant, so there is a saying: "sorghum is yellow and black, nine times in ten years", but in terms of nutrition and taste, it cannot be compared with wheat flour, it can only fill the stomach, so that people will not starve to death.

To put it mildly, those wealthy lords in the inner city don't use sorghum even to feed their livestock.

But even so, sorghum is a life-saving food in this year.

Its stalks can be used to make roofs, arrow shafts can be used as curtains, and sorghum ears can be used as brooms and rain protection.

And don't look at the bad taste of sorghum rice, but it is excellent for making wine, and the sorghum alcohol in the city is very famous in the state capital.

The above is Zong Xian's conclusion based on the knowledge of his previous life combined with the memory fragments of the original owner.

At this time, Zong Xian looked at the wild dogs that had been fed before, and saw that they were safe and sound, so he washed the two pieces of dried meat into the stream and then set them up to roast and heat them by the fire.

It wasn't until he finished eating the jerky and filled his stomach a little that Zong Xian called out for a little helper.

"Mysterious chance?"

As his mind moved, lines of golden letters quickly appeared.

【Mysterious Chance】

[Current Opportunity Range: 50 miles away]

[Countdown to chance analysis: 13:27:21 on the 89th]

……

Seeing this line of subtitles, Zong Xian suddenly knew it.

"Chance has been reset!"

"The parsing time has also been extended by two months!"

“……”

"But yes, the opportunities in each place are limited after all."

Regarding the changes in the small auxiliaries, he is quite acceptable.

Now that the strength of three bulls and one tiger is by his side, he has a certain amount of self-preservation.

Coupled with the money obtained from Wang Hangou and a few people, it can fully meet the expenses for a period of time in the future, at least there is no need to worry about going hungry.

At night, Donggou Creek is completely covered in fog, and even the fire under the stone bridge is shrouded in fog, making the location here hidden and safe enough, so it will become a camping place for Zongxian for nearly half a month.

Just as he was pondering whether to take advantage of the night to make a detour to other walled areas, there was a sudden noise of shouting and scolding in the distance.

Zong Xian climbed up to the stone embankment by the bridge and cave, and could only vaguely see the torches in the shantytown in the distance, and about a dozen people were shouting their names.

He didn't have to think about it, he knew that these people were searching for the murderers who killed those ruffians!

There are not 10,000 but 8,000 beggars who usually sleep in the walled area outside the city, and there are also members of the thief gang among them, which can be described as a pool of troubled waters, and no one will pay attention to the beggars' faces.

What's more, Zong Xian deliberately covered half of his face when he made his move, there is no "Tianyan Monitoring" here, and it must be difficult for those people to trace the source.

Zong Xian lay quietly on the slope of the river embankment, watching the torches and sounds in the distance fade away.

In troubled times, human life is like grass, unless the evidence of the daytime murder is conclusive or captured on the spot, it is difficult to trace, especially the cheap life in the walled area is not worth a penny, and even the officials of the county government yamen don't bother to pay attention to it.

Zong Xian, who was at peace in his heart, returned to the bridge, lay down by the fire, and prepared to sleep and enter the city early tomorrow morning!

……

"You say... Was it a small but powerful beggar who killed Wang Hangou? ”

In a shack in the Smelly Ditch Alley in the Qi'er Village District, a middle-aged man wearing an indigo gown, a headband, and a meaty face sat on a wooden chair.

His shoulders and back are as tall as pines and cypresses, his hands are thick and strong, and he has eye-catching fist calluses.

Full of blood and energy, the light of the oil lamp on the table shone brightly on his eyes.

It looks like it's hard to mess with!

This one is the hall advocate of the Sanshui Gang Shan Biao Hall!

Several corpses with broken throats were placed at his feet, covered with two black rotten straw mats, and the smell of blood on the corpses did not dissipate.

There were also a few poor people in the walled area who stood aside.

After hearing Zhang Zhenbiao's question, the poor people cried and said cautiously.

"Hall Master Zhang, we don't dare to lie to you!"

"The man covered half of his face, was no more than five feet tall, and his physique was no different from that of an ordinary little beggar on the street!"

As they spoke, they had a look of apprehension.

Zhang Zhenbiao frowned, and then stopped talking.

"This man can smash his throat neatly..."

"At least it's a martial artist who has achieved the same level of forging as me!"

“…”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhenbiao was silent for a moment and felt that something was not quite right.

"Besides..."

"How could they provoke such a strong person?"

"If what these untouchables say is true, then the man disguised himself as a beggar will have a plan..."

"That's it, finding him now is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"It's just that the gang fee was robbed, it's a great shame, tomorrow I will discuss it with the two protectors of the Xiong Gang and Tie Li Shuangdao."

Zhang Zhenbiao thought viciously, and then raised it and shouted.

"Get out of here!"

The poor people in the walled area were startled and crawled out of the shack.

A few pieces of garbage, dead and dead.

The house was clean again, and a brazier was blazing in the corner.

I saw Zhang Zhenbiao staring at the back of his boots in a daze.

Their Sanshui Gang is a gang mixed in the walled area outside the city, in the past few months, the gang leader and the Mo family in the inner city have been connected, and the strength of the gang has been greatly improved, and it has successively annexed the Shikou Gang, the Shashui Gang, and the Qingque Gang, three small gangs, and they are in the stage of gaining momentum, but they are still low-key on the surface.

However, in recent times, the situation in the city has become more and more complicated!

First of all, the Chen family, the head of the Bei'an Hao clan, had a conflict with the government, officially moved away from the county government, and went to Shimogang more than 30 miles away from here to build a fort and Tuntian, and also recruited private soldiers and cast weapons and armor, which also attracted a lot of tenants and homeless people to follow, and there was a tendency to stand on their own hills, which made the majesty of the government greatly damaged!

The iron-fisted county commander Wang Xianyou was bedridden two months ago and has not shown up for a long time.

Other wealthy families in the inner city have joined forces and privately co-opted the hundreds, thousands of households, and general soldiers who colluded with the soldiers, intending to further disintegrate the authority of the government and strengthen the family power.

The six gangs and four factions that were originally scattered in the outer city also carried out a new round of game competition, and finally merged into four major forces, namely the Iron Foot Green Gang in the Anping Wharf District in the north, the Black Wolf Gang in the south of the city, the Sky Eagle faction in the west of the city, and the Blood Killing Gang in the east of the city.

This is not counting the forces under the hands of the dart bureau, the martial arts association, and the wealthy merchants in the city.

Not only that, but the Pure Lotus Sect in several troubled states was also quietly spread in the Bei'an County Government, with great intentions to wantonly erode this place.

Under such circumstances, the situation in the county government can be described as ever-changing, and the gangs in the walled area are in danger of overturning at any time.

And the current situation in Bei'an County is just a small microcosm of the overall collapse of the Great Jin Kingdom!
