Su Yue and his party arrived at the second town where they were going to stay, called Liuhe Town.

"There's a Liuhe Inn here, let's stay there tonight, and I made an appointment with my seniors there." Xiao Han turned back to Su Yue and said.

"Don't live in the inn?"

"The princess doesn't know, the post station in Liuhe Town is notoriously poor, and the master is afraid that you won't be used to it." Xiao Yi explained.

"Huh? Is it because Liuhe Town is poor? ”

"Not really, there are many rich businessmen in Liuhe Town, but the people are poor."

"That's the officer's problem." The gap between the rich and the poor can be found everywhere. The gap between the rich and the poor in a town is so large, it must be the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the people are suffering.

"How?" Xiao Han became interested.

"The fact that there are so many rich merchants in a small town means that they have a lot of business here and can make money. So why are the people so miserable? That shows that they are the ones who make the money, and the common people are not beneficial, which can only show one point, the collusion between officials and businessmen. ”

Xiao Han thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood. Since there are so many wealthy merchants and so many businesses in Liuhe Town, there should be more opportunities for the people to make a living, how can they be so poor? It only means that they can't earn silver, or they can only earn a small amount of silver, and it may be difficult to survive.

Su Yue looked at the pedestrians on the street, most of them were in shabby clothes, many of them were patched, and all of them had sallow faces, as if they were malnourished. Even the hawkers on both sides of the hawker do not look good······ Isn't that weird?

Xiao Han naturally also noticed Su Yue's gaze, "Xiao Yi." ”

"Master."

"Go and find out who is responsible here, find out the problem, deal with it directly, and let someone from above come over to replace it."

"Yes."

Xiao glanced at Leng Feng, the other party nodded, and he left.

These days of getting along, these two have also reached a certain tacit understanding. When the cold wind leaves, Xiao Yi will take care of everything. As soon as Xiao left, the cold wind was the same.

When they arrived at the Liuhe Inn, Xiao Er was a lively person, and immediately arranged their accommodation.

"This inn looks good, but the people here are really miserable, and I haven't seen a few pedestrians with no patches on their clothes just now." Su Yu's face was not very good.

"Xiao Yi went to check, wait for him to come back."

A few people didn't have much appetite, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

Su Yue asked Xiao Er to prepare hot water, ready to sneak into the space to take a bath, and as soon as she entered the room, she found out that something was wrong, "What person, come out." ”

I saw her pull out the long sword at her waist and attack the screen. A black figure appeared like lightning, neatly blocking Su Yue's attack.

"The princess is very skilled, and she deserves to be the disciple of the old man Xuanji." An old man dressed in black and wearing a deadwood mask appeared inside the house. The black robe is also embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with gold thread, which is low-key and luxurious.

The old man's voice sounded, and a large number of people appeared in the inn, especially around Su Yue's room, which had the largest number of people.

"Who are you?"

"Hehe, just an idle old man." The old man sat down very comfortably and poured himself a cup of tea.

Before the tea reached his mouth, the sound of fighting sounded outside. Xiao Han and Su Yu came as soon as possible, and the two looked at the old man cautiously and protected Su Yue behind them.

"King Jingnan and General Su Xiao don't have to be like this, the old man has no malice." The old man is still not in a hurry.

"Whether there is malice or not is not up to you, let's say, who are you? Why are you bothering my sister? ”

"Hehe, I don't mean to embarrass the princess, I came here this time to ask for something."

The corners of Su Yue's mouth hooked slightly, "This is the attitude of asking for something?" ”

"That's the old man's, it's just that the old man is not in good health, and his relatives at home are not at ease, so he arranged for these people to follow, I hope the princess will forgive me."

"Huh, huh? But alas, I don't think I can help you. Su Yue refused directly, it doesn't matter who you are, who are you to scare in such a big battle?

"What does the princess not listen to the old man's request? Maybe for the princess, it's just a gesture. ”

"What if it's a gesture? I have to help? "Still want to kidnap her? Hehe.

The old man was still calm, "It seems that the old man's behavior has made the princess uncomfortable, and it is the old man's fault, who came." ”

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man came in, holding a brocade box in his hand, placing it on the table, and opening it.

A box full of Dongzhu, all round and shiny, and not small, not to mention the value.

Su Yue raised her eyebrows, is this going to take the money and smash it? However, the texture of this East Pearl is good, and it can be kept for a few aunts to make jewelry.

"It's a good thing, I accept this apology." Su Yue directly brought things into the space.

"Hehe," I really can't suffer," the princess said, since the princess accepted the old man's apology, can she listen to the old man's request? ”

"For Dongzhu's sake, let's talk."

"The old man wants to ask the princess for something." The old man's eyes lit up.

"What's that?"

"Snake Spirit Fruit."

Su Yue paused, and glanced at Xiao Han silently.

"How did you know I had this, who told you that?"

"This princess doesn't need to know, as long as the princess is willing to give, the old man will definitely be rewarded heavily."

"Want to take something out of my hand and not even tell the truth? Oh, old man, do you think too much of yourself or do you look down on me too much? Su Yue looked disdainful, she didn't like the old man's lofty posture very much.

The old man frowned quietly, and finally explained, "Looking at King Jingnan's current state, can you still understand?" ”

"Yes, the old man has a broken arm or a broken leg," Su Yue pretended to be puzzled and looked at it carefully, "I don't think you seem to be missing anything?" ”

"Presumptuous!" The guard beside the old man stepped forward and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the old man.

"This guard's temper is not small, the master has not spoken, which turn to get you a dog barking here?" Su Yu's face was gloomy, and his intimidating gaze stared straight at the guard, if he wanted to do something to her sister, he had to see how many catties and taels he had.

The guard's teeth creaked, but in front of his master, he didn't dare to make a move after all.

"Hehehe, it's my servant who is ignorant, and he offends a lot." Although the old man's mouth softened, his posture remained the same.

Just as Su Yue wanted to refuse, a cold and piercing voice sounded, "It is said that what kind of slave has what kind of master, slave is so dog, what kind of good thing can be a master?" But a vile and shameless villain. ”

"Khooth! Sonor! Sonor! ”······

The sound of swords drawn in unison plunged the entire inn into a deathly silence.

Su Yu and Xiao Han also made a defensive posture, protecting Su Yue behind them, and the cold wind was always vigilant.

"Hehehe, I followed the old man all the way, and I thought you lost it." The old man's eyes were slightly cold, no longer as light as just now, and there was a faint murderous intent.
