The next day.

The bell wakes up people who are still sleeping, and a new day is about to begin.

The hard-working vendors have already occupied a prominent position in the sheep market, and the aroma of various snacks and delicacies is filling your nostrils.

The morning market is a major feature of Anyi, where wealthy people can buy any goods they want, including Wei's limited supply of bills and industrial products.

Of course, the price is also very impressive. Without absolute financial strength, most people just come to have a look and enjoy themselves.

The so-called sheep market is actually an empty street.

There are towering walls on both sides of the street. It is likely to be the mansion of a noble family or an important administrative agency. The Yangshi in the north of the city is located just to the east of Heluo College and to the west of the North Guards Station. .

Back then, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and others had trained the city guards here, but half a year later, everything had changed.

This was the first time for Zang Ba to see such a lively scene. He had also been to Luoyang before and thought it was the most prosperous place in the world. Until today, he didn't know what it meant to be lonely and ignorant.

"Brother, try this, it's so delicious."

“And this carrot cake, it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s also a must-have.”

Zang Ba raised his eyes and saw that several deputies were eating with gusto. He took a sip of the beef noodles in his hand and said, "It's delicious. Eat more of it. When you return to Xuzhou, you won't have this good taste."

Hearing this, several men lost their passion for a moment. After taking a few bites, one of the men wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and sighed: "This city of Anyi is good, but it is too far away from us. Such delicious food is really good." I want my mother to come and try it too."

Zang Ba laughed and turned to look up at the other people.

"You think so too?"

Several men looked at each other in confusion, and after hesitating for a while, they nodded one after another.

A long-faced man said: "Brother, I don't blame the brothers for being direct. When we fled from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, we thought we could live a more stable life, but those dog officials didn't regard us as human beings at all, let alone the aristocratic family. They exploited us layer by layer."

Another man blinked his eyes and flattered: "Brother, these brothers are all raising families. If we hadn't met eldest brother, we would still be clearing wasteland in the fields and filling water. How could we have such good food?" of eating.”

Zang Ba waved his hand towards this person, looked at the other people, frowned and said: "You don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing, to be honest, I also dislike those dog officials. If not, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Kill him in anger."

When several people heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a man suddenly said: "Brother, do you have anything to say to the brothers?"

Several Chinese characters were stunned. Yes, Zang Ba called them out so early. Could it be that he really wanted to eat?

Zang Ba drank the broth in the bowl slowly, without hesitation, and said bluntly: "There is something going on. What do you think of the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard?"

Several men looked at each other and recalled the banquet last night. Although they were not sitting in the front row, they all witnessed Wei Cheng's demeanor. Apart from his youth, what impressed them most was his bohemian sitting posture. .

They are not stupid, they dare to be so casual in front of old lady Xie and Tao Qian. This young man is either powerful or in a high position.

But Wei Cheng had both, he was the governor of Bingzhou and a great prince vying for hegemony.

"Wei Shijun is certainly admirable."

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen Tao Gong be so taciturn."

"I don't quite understand, but I admire him very much."

Zang Ba looked at the man who spoke last and said amusedly: "Why do you admire him?"

The man is a typical Taishan man. He took a sip of mutton soup, wiped the corners of his mouth casually with his sleeve, and responded: "Haven't you noticed that there is not a single refugee in Anyi County?"

Everyone's expressions changed, and then they instinctively looked up and looked around.

This sheep market is already a lively place. Generally, in such a place, there are the most refugees and beggars. However, after searching for a while, they really didn't see a single refugee.

What's even embarrassing is that they are the most sloppily dressed group among them.

Zang Ba's expression changed.

A man frowned and said, "Really, do you think they have driven all those refugees out of the city?"

Zang Ba immediately denied: "No, there are no refugees outside the city. When we entered the city yesterday, there were only rows of carriages parked on both sides of the city gate. Not to mention refugees, not even a ragged person was seen.

.”

"Oh, what's so confusing about this? I'll tell you if I ask someone."

A man waved to the waiter who was running back and forth.

The waiter looks young, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although he looks thin, his eyes are bright and lively.

"What else do you guys want to eat?"

The man took out a few coins and threw them to him, and said with a smile: "Let me ask you a question, this is the reward for you."

The waiter was not very excited when he took the copper coins. He cupped his hands and thanked him, as if he had already become accustomed to it.

Zang Ba put down his bowl and chopsticks, raised his head and asked, "Brother, why don't you see any refugees in this city? Have they all been driven out of the city by the Wei family?"

The waiter was startled at first, then frowned, took out the copper coins in his arms, put them on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You are here to cause trouble, right?"

Zang Ba and others looked at this scene in confusion, and a man hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, little brother, we are just curious, how come we don't see a single beggar in such a lively place."

Upon hearing this, the waiter's face softened slightly, he glanced at Zang Ba, and said in a sonorous tone: "Who said there are no refugees in the city, I am a refugee, and our shopkeeper is also a refugee, but so what?

Here, as long as we work hard, even the refugees can make a difference. The Wei family not only did not drive us away, but also gave us the opportunity to be self-reliant. I will never allow you to slander us easily!"

There was a lot of commotion here, and the waiter's speech also attracted the attention of many diners.

One of the middle-aged men bowed his hands to Zang Ba and others, and said with a smile: "I heard the accents of some of them just now, they should all be men from the foot of Mount Tai. These brothers are new here and don't know what they are doing. Not only did the Hedong Wei family not drive away the refugees,

, and also resettled nearly 200,000 refugees from various states and counties, including 20,000 in Yanzhou. This benevolent and righteous act is an example of saving the world and bringing peace to the people."

Zang Ba's expression calmed down, and he quickly stood up and clasped his fists in salute, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"

The middle-aged man glanced at his companions on the side, smiled slightly, stood up and clasped his fists in reply: "Don't dare, Dongjun Cheng Yu."

Zang Ba frowned slightly, and the deputies beside him stood up vigilantly, grabbing their weapons with their hands.

Cheng Yu smiled unhurriedly and said in a joking tone: "You are not allowed to use force in Anyi City. Are you going to attack a fellow countryman like me in this foreign land?"
