"Have she gone to beg for food outside the city?" Chu Xia looked at Xiao Ran for no reason, "What case is so important? She went in a cold day with some ragged clothes?"

Xiao Ran replied: "Sir, it's still the missing case. I originally wanted her to pass the time, but I didn't expect that she would be serious. If Yang Qing hadn't recorded her appearance, the spies outside the city would not recognize her."

Chu Xia was intrigued and asked curiously: "It really looks so much? I thought she was so white and fat, and she would be snatched up as soon as she sneaked in."

"Sir, she is different from what we usually see. No one dares to steal her." After hearing Yang Qing's words, Xiao Ran asked the spy to search for her and soon passed the news back.

When he heard that he almost couldn't find someone, he thought that Zhuang Rou had a change of appearance and had a disguise technique.

Xiao Ran went to the distance and took a look. He didn't use disguise at all. He was already integrated with the refugees, and he was still the same old man.

I know she had been an refugee before, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Now, looking at her attitude, I'm afraid she was doing well back then. In terms of age, she is a little bully.

The spy said that she almost had a conflict with others, but she was scared away by the person. Just eating you, but she could not scare the hungry man. I am afraid that it was because she felt that she really knew how to eat people.

During the disaster year, the change of children happens from time to time. Children are the weakest, so they are naturally the ones who are eaten first.

At that time, Zhuang Rou, who was young, probably had seen such a scene, could survive without the protection of her elders. She must have had quite fierce means to scare adults.

Xiao Ran could think of it, and knew that even if Chu Xia didn't go and see it, she could think of this level.

Chu Xia waved her hand and said, "Then let her play, let our people pay attention, stay away from her when they go out to spread rumors, and don't be caught by her on the spot. Maybe after hearing so many of her own rumors, she would come back in anger."

"I have already given instructions to keep everyone away from her. But she seems to be at the porridge dressing room and hasn't run too far. She probably wants to check someone." Xiao Ran analyzed. After all, there is nothing big on Zhuang Rou's hands.

If you want to investigate a small case, just check it. If you pretend to be a refugee and starve for a few meals, she will come back to have a meal honestly.

Chu Xia stood up and shook her clothes, "Let's go, I'll meet the local wealthy families who want to be promoted. As long as the juniors brought are not women and have some skills and cleverness, I will give them a chance to shine their ancestors."

He hated those clan leaders and wealthy families in Hongzhou who had prestige and spoke to the local people.

These people are flattering on the surface, but behind their backs they always want to fight against the government he led. Look at the officials in this prefecture, most of them are related to the local clans, and they don’t know what the Ministry of Personnel makes. There are rules that officials cannot return to their original hometowns to become officials.

If you want the people in Hongzhou to be on his side, you can only change all of these people, including officials.

Those who are prestigious in the local area, and their children are really promising, naturally they can find ways to find people to support them. Those who spend so much money to buy this place have no old ways but are trying to find opportunities.

People who dare to shoot grapes under such pressure have great ambitions and ideas, and this idea is exactly what Chu Xia wants.

He went to the front with great enthusiasm, and said that he was asking those people to chat with the prince, but what is the use of that kind of waste? Of course, he was talking to him.

When the porridge was served outside the city, Zhuang Rou did not go to collect it. She came out because she was eating in the yamen and was not hungry at all now.

Anyway, there will be many food vendors outside the city later. The things sold are a little better than Guanyin soil. If you eat them, you won’t be able to die of bloating, but filling your stomach is a good thing.

I haven't eaten this kind of thing for a long time, so it's nice to try it out.

The person who received the porridge and steamed buns sat next to him without feeling hot, and drank the porridge in big mouthfuls. He grabbed the steamed buns with dirty hands and stuffed them into his mouth. He accidentally dropped some slag on the ground, and he didn't bother him so dirty that he quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth.

There were more than a dozen porridge points, and it took nearly two hours to complete the whole thing. The people behind had no steamed buns, so they could only scrape the big pot and scrape some porridge from above.

Zhuang Rou knew that if you keep it right, you could scrape out thicker porridge from the pot, which was much thicker than the ones you made in front.

She slept here in the middle of the night. Most of the refugees who had been waiting for the whole morning had finally eaten a meal. Only a few and a half-old children were left, holding the broken bowl that was licked clean, waiting for a while to ask for something to eat.

After waiting for a while, the group of children suddenly got up and ran towards the distance.

Zhuang Rou looked up and saw small vendors selling food appear one after another. The small cart that these children rushed towards was pushed by Chef Liu.

"Grandma, give me some stutter!"

"Grandma, I'm hungry, my sister is almost starving to death."

"grandmother……"

The children were circling around her, holding up the broken bowl in their hands, and kept calling out grandma, speaking in great pity.

Cook Liu seemed to have gotten used to them, so she stopped the cart and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I brought bean dregs today, and each of them has a spoonful."

The children immediately calmed down and surrounded her with bowls. Seeing that Cook Liu made a large spoonful of hot bean dregs for them. She hid the bowl in her arms and covered it with her torn clothes. The children ran towards the shed.

After dismissing these children, Chef Liu pushed the cart for another time, then stopped and started selling bean dregs cakes. This is the leftover ingredients for making tofu. They are usually used to feed pigs, but now they have become delicious food to fill the stomach.

Because it is a worthless bean dregs, you can buy two large bean dregs for a penny. For those who have one or two cents on hand, it is more cost-effective to buy bean dregs for a penny.

Zhuang Rou watched Liu Chuniang sell cakes from a distance, and her business was sloppy, but she always couldn't see those poor people. It was common for her to sell three for a penny. When she met those women with children or had injuries on her body, she would give her a cake with red eyes.

Seeing her doing business like this, Zhuang Rou couldn't help but complain, because Chef Liu didn't have to consider eating, and the money she gave her was just for spending this way, so that she could deliver food so generously.

However, Zhuang Rou also saw some effects. She often came to beg for food and sold poor women, and was chatting with Cook Liu, but she didn't know when the woman would come.

Suddenly, three sounds of teasing the steamer came from the side of Liu Chu Niang, and Zhuang Rou immediately looked over and found a woman carrying a child in front of the stall, and she was holding a penny to buy bean dregs cakes.

It turns out it's this...

Zhuang Rou looked at her carefully and wanted to deeply impress her appearance and every move in her mind. Even if she was mixed in the crowd, she would recognize her at a glance.

At this time, Chu Niang Liu looked around and didn't notice where Zhuang Rou was. She wanted to knock it again, but when she thought of her previous advice, she didn't dare to knock it.

The woman bought the bean dregs cake and hid it in her arms. She walked back with her baby on her back. Zhuang Rou also stood up. Just as she was about to follow her, a group of people suddenly came from the other side of the city.

The group of people rode on horseback and did not walk on the official road, which scared the refugees on the road to dodge and soon rushed to Zhuang Rou.

As she passed by, she saw clearly the faces of the horse rider. It was the two grandsons of King An, who were carrying a group of guards and Fan Tongzhi's son. They carried bows and arrows and hunting clothes, and their bright cloaks drifted in the wind, passing through the dust from the refugees like the wind.

"Go to hunt in this season?" Zhuang Rou frowned in confusion, but didn't care about them too much, and withdrew her gaze and went with the woman.
