Xie Chen was hesitating whether to inquire about the girl about what was happening now, but the girl took action before him.

The girl naturally grabbed the reins of his horse and said to him: "Grandma, this is too messy, let's talk aside."

Her expression full of kindness made it difficult to refuse. The most important thing is that she seemed to have arranged according to her own wishes without waiting for him to respond.

Cao Ben, who was standing by, was anxiously trying to figure out the current situation in Taozhou City and where to stay here, and was about to continue walking forward with gratitude.

Unexpectedly, the girl said, "The road ahead is full of people, you can't get through it. If you really want to go through it, you have to go around the alley next to me. I know the road."

Cao Ben frowned.

The girl continued, "I will take you there and it will cost twenty cents."

Hearing this, Cao Ben breathed a sigh of relief. It was even more at ease to ask for money. There were always some children in the city who helped people to guide them to make some money.

Cao Ben said: "We are going to the yamen office."

"I guessed it," Zhao Luoyang said, "I walked from here to the closest to the yamen office. Do you need to change the road permit?" The long journey requires documents for inspection.

Cao Ben didn't say anything, and Xie Chen replied.

Zhao Luoyang seemed to have expected it, and reached out to touch the horse's back: "The sweat on the two horses is already sticky. You have to drink a sip of water and take a break, otherwise you will be exhausted, so I don't take you twenty pennies."

Zhao Luoyang said this to those who secretly monitor Xie Chen and Cao Ben. When these two Beijing officials arrived in Taozhou, the little mute man sent a secret letter early in the morning.

The Feng family would choose to cause trouble today because of these two Beijing officials, so the two adults entered the city, so naturally someone secretly followed them.

Zhao Luoyang also dressed up before leaving the village. After all, Fengxia Village is also a thorn in the eyes of those people...

In short, this arrangement is to "meet" two adults here.

So we must arrange everything carefully.

Zhao Luoyang was very skillful in leading the horse, and he walked forward with two horses and two people alone... No, in fact, Shi Jiu had four horses in his eyes, and Xie Chen and Cao Ben were no different from those two stupid horses.

Avoid the crowd and arrived at a corner where Huaiqing's people were ambushing around. Even if the Feng family came, Huaiqing would stop them.

So Zhao Luoyang can talk to the two adults with peace of mind.

Zhao Luoyang stopped, took the water bag from his body, and then fed the two horses with his hands to drink water.

"These two horses are very good, it's a pity to be exhausted," Zhao Luoyang said with a smile. "The two people who came out of the government office had to use horses to rush their way. If something went wrong, they delayed their trip."

Xie Chen had no doubts when he heard this. The girl obviously didn't know their identity. She really thought they were passing by Taozhou, otherwise she wouldn't have said that they would have to use horses to rush their way.

Xie Chen said: "What happened in the city today?"

Zhao Luoyang smiled and his expression seemed a little heavy: "There is no rice or food in the city. If this continues, the refugees and the movables will starve to death."

Cao Ben took a deep breath, so it was indeed Zhao Jingyun who failed to deal with it, which caused chaos in the people.

"However," Zhao Luoyang smiled again, "Everyone will have food to eat soon."

After Zhao Luoyang finished speaking, he looked around and gently "shhhh" at his mouth: "Someone agreed to us and we will definitely let us spend this winter well."

"Whether this can be realized depends on today's."

Xie Chen couldn't help but say, "Why do you need to look at today?"

Zhao Luoyang shook his head and did not respond to Xie Chen's words. Instead, he said: "In fact, you can't walk to the government office even if you take a detour. There are also people in the alley in front of him. I just said I wanted to lead the way, but I lied to you."

Cao Ben was surprised. Even Xie Chen couldn't help but frown. Did this girl lie to them?

Zhao Luoyang continued: "Maybe it's not a fraud. I won't take you twenty cents of money and feed your horses water."

So they still have to thank her?

After all, Cao Ben was young, and after experiencing such a thing, he couldn't help but feel angry. He was about to open his mouth and scold the girl.

But when the girl looked at him, a kind smile appeared again on her face, which was from the heart.

Shi Jiu's voice came from Zhao Luoyang's mind: "Character value +32."

It can be seen that the anxiety of the two officials turned into dissatisfaction with her.

Zhao Luoyang continued: "I was out of good intentions. Something was going to happen ahead soon. We don't want someone who is irrelevant, so we were injured."

Xie Chen found that his thoughts seemed to be led away by a girl. He no longer cared about the girl who had deceived them just now. From the girl's tone, he could guess that this girl knew a lot about what was happening right now.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Really, all the men in our village have passed away. Not only us, but all the migrants around us have left the village early in the morning."

Xie Chen understood: "You want to grab food?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Yes, we want to grab food."

Cao Ben and Xie Chen had never seen such a person before. They were so natural that they would rob, and they were full of smiles and no panic.

Just like the bandits in the mountains.

...

Not far away, Zou Guangda's people kept staring at Cao Ben and Xie Chen. The two Beijing officials entered the city, but did not go straight to the office as they thought, but were called away.

They vaguely heard the man say, "Let's lead the way for both of them."

The man took the two officials aside but stopped again. The three of them spoke for a while.

Zou Guangda's people were a little anxious, but they could not come forward to pull the two adults over, so as not to let the two adults realize that everything was arranged by the Feng family.

But the longer the delay, the more anxious they are.

"Can't wait any longer," said one of them. "Although the two Beijing officials failed to walk to the government office, it shouldn't be in trouble."

If they miss the time, their sins will be great.

Several people nodded, and then they squeezed into the crowd separately. They had to tell all the eyeliners and start provoking them and encourage everyone to take action.

"What else can a yamen do besides killing people?"

"What's the use of siege here?"

"We must be given rice and grain today."

"Yes, give us rice and grain."

"Go in, go in and look for Lord Zhao..."

"We want to get the relief grains from the court..."

"Go..."

The noise was everywhere, and the crowd immediately became boiling.

Cao Ben and Xie Chen also heard the movement. Xie Chen's expression changed drastically and they were about to get up to see it, but unexpectedly they were stopped by the girl.

Xie Chen thinks that the officials are honest and keeps asking for the people. Even now he is thinking about the safety of the people. He looks at Zhao Luoyang: "Do you know that robbing the imperial court's food and threatening the imperial court's official position violates the law of the Great Qi?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "I know."

Xie Chen said: "I know you still..."

Zhao Luoyang said, "Who said we want to steal food and threaten the imperial court's official position?"

Cao Ben had already taken a few steps, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the girl.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Mr. Zhao has long said that Taozhou does not allow anyone to sell food at a high price, but someone deliberately hides rice and grain and secretly sells it to migrants at three times the price. Today is the day when Lord. Zhao severely punishes those people."

After Zhao Luoyang finished speaking, the shouts and shouts from all directions in the crowd came to an abrupt end.

The Feng family's eyeliner was already shouting at the top of their throats, but just now they shouted two or three times. Several hands stretched out behind them, pressed their shoulders, and blocked their mouths with a cloth ball.

The besieged government office gate suddenly opened at this moment. Standing at the door was Zhao Jingyun wearing an official robe and a majestic face.
