Liu Xia's convoy and the Tiger Guard set off from Qiu County in full view of the public.
Looking at the retreating figure of Liu Xia's motorcade, all the officers and soldiers stationed in Qiu County breathed a deep sigh of relief.
This young prince came to Qiu County and beheaded hundreds of people. He was a normal person. Who wouldn't be afraid to see him?
Liu Xia, who was sitting in the carriage, was not so relaxed at the moment.[
Because he was nervously planning his actions for the night.
Liu Xia came out this time and took away all the Tiger Guards. Only a dozen imperial guards were left in the station.
Naturally, the purpose of letting them stay was to guard the fake Fang Datong.
This time, Song Qingming made it clear that he wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Fang Datong and silence him. Naturally, Liu Xia also wanted to give him this opportunity.
Because this is the best opportunity to separate him and Liu Hongtao.
"I'll leave soon when we get to the suburbs. The ones sent by Song Qingming this time must be experts. So we can't let Wu Jiajun have any problems. After you leave Qiu County, slow down. In the evening,
Then go back to Qiu County with all your strength and catch him by surprise."
Liu Xia made arrangements as soon as she put on makeup.
"Do you want me to help?"
Dabao asked.
"No need. Although Song Qingming can send out experts, I don't think there will be an expert at the level of Liang Qiyuan. After all, we have left, and the person he is most worried about is me."
Liu Xia analyzed.
"Remember, when you come back, you must prepare the evidence I prepared as soon as possible. This time, I will make it difficult for Song Qingming to speak."
Liu Xia said firmly.
"Be careful yourself."
Yao Wenxin said with concern.
"knew."
Speaking of which, the convoy has already arrived at the outskirts of Qiu County. There are no people around. Even if there were people, they would have avoided such a battle long ago.
Liu Xia got off the carriage and flew into the distance. The convoy only slowed down slightly and then started to move forward.
As usual, the Tiger Guards did not guard both sides like other guards, but were divided into two groups. One group opened the way in front, and the other group followed Liu Xia's motorcade like ghosts.[
Liu Xia hid in the grass, put on a pair of tattered clothes from the Qiankun Bag, and put on a mask. Feeling that it was still exposed, Liu Xia appeared on the official road openly.
Today, he wears ragged clothes, pretends to be sallow and thin, and walks with strength. He holds a stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other. He looks like the leader of the Beggar Clan.
In less than half an hour, Liu Xia returned to Qiu County again.
Since a large army was stationed in Qiu County, several porridge restaurants were opened in Qiu County to provide relief to the people here.
When Liu Xia came, he found that almost all the villages around Qiu County were empty. Even if there were people, they were old people who could hardly move.
Most of the bankers in the world are overgrown with weeds, even around Qiu County. It is conceivable that the banditry for more than ten years has brought a painful blow to the people here.
Banditry is one of the problems. The only thing that is more despised than the bandits in the mountains is the officials.
The imperial court exempted the place from paying taxes because it was a barren place. Although it was a bit poorer, it was not a big problem for ordinary people to live and work in peace and contentment.
However, it was these officials who used clever names to increase various taxes, leaving the people here who were impoverished and even more empty-handed.
As a result, there will be banditry. When banditry comes, the business here will be greatly affected. Caravans and trading houses have to evacuate, which will make the economy here even worse.
After more than ten years, it has become this messy and dilapidated scene.
Those who had troubles all chose to leave here. After all, everyone's last right is to choose where to live with their own feet.
Most of the remaining people went to promising careers like bandits.
The people who are still lingering here today are the poor people who cannot live without it.
The idea of setting up a porridge restaurant was proposed by Dabao.
Although Dabao usually seems unreliable, he is a monk after all and still has a compassionate heart.
With these porridge shops, poor people nearby came here one after another. These days, Qiu County has become more popular than before.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guards who guarded the city saw Liu Xia's appearance and let Liu Xia in without asking any questions.
When we entered the city, it was already almost noon, which was the time when the porridge was being served.
At this time, it was still some time before dark, so Liu Xia and the crowd following the refugees headed towards the porridge market.
The porridge market is set up in the square outside the county government office. When Qiu County was in its heyday, this square was a place for holding activities during the New Year and festivals, and it was quite large.
At this moment, there are more than thirty large pots set up in the porridge market, and many poor people have already begun to queue up.[
There were officers and soldiers inside and outside the porridge to maintain order, but it looked orderly.
Most of the people who came here to receive alms were old people. Looking at their wrinkled old faces and their weathered eyes, Liu Xia felt a little hot on her face.
It is the dream of every emperor to provide for the old and provide education for the young, and to create a harmonious society.
However, in today's prosperous Tianji Dynasty, since such a scene could occur, it really made Liu Xia feel inexplicably angry.
"Get in line, get in line."
The officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order shouted loudly from the front.
At this time, Liu Xia heard a commotion in the distance and looked over curiously.
At this time, Liu Xia actually saw two officers and soldiers teasing an old man with a piece of golden rice cake.
The old man was wearing rags, and his eyes were straight as he looked at the piece of golden rice cake. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
"Old man, come and bark like a dog. This cake is yours."
At this time, a soldier said.
Liu Xia saw a wolf head symbol on the armor on his chest, indicating that he was a member of a hundred households.
The old man was so hungry that he barked like a dog. As a result, the hundred households threw the golden rice cakes to the ground. When the old man was about to reach out to pick them up, the hundred households stepped on them.
He smiled at the old man and said, "Lick my uncle's shoes first."
At that moment, the officers and soldiers behind him burst into laughter.
The old man bowed down tremblingly, his turbid old eyes full of tears, stuck out his tongue, and added more shoes to that Baihu. As a result, that Baihu actually kicked the old man away.
When Liu Xia saw this, he couldn't help but burst into anger, but for the sake of tonight's action, he had to hold it back for now.
You secretly swear in your heart that you must make life worse than death for these hundreds of households.
"Damn it, do you have eyes?"
At this time, an old "woman" standing in front of Liu Xia accidentally spilled the porridge on the ground, which happened to splash on the feet of an officer and soldier on one side.
The officer came up and kicked the old woman until she rolled on the ground.
At this time, Liu Xia hurriedly walked over and helped the old woman, but this kick made the old woman vomit blood.
Liu Xia hurriedly gave the old woman a healing pill, and then helped the old woman to the corner.
The old woman was leaning there, dying, which made Liu Xia feel sad.
However, at this time, Liu Xia also noticed that there were only a few grains of rice in the porridge in those big pots.
When Liu Xia and Dabao discussed it, each refugee was given a bowl of white porridge and a half-pound golden rice cake.
The rules of serving porridge at a porridge restaurant are that chopsticks cannot be poured into the porridge pot when inserted into it. However, in this porridge restaurant, there is no mention of porridge, and there are no golden rice cakes. Obviously, someone took a kickback in the process.
Golden rice is not considered a fine grain in Dragon Soul Continent, and its price is extremely cheap. Even so, some people dare to deduct it, which shows how rampant these officials have become.
Moreover, it is less than 500 meters away from my station.
This is simply an insult to Liu Xia's intelligence. He dared to do trouble under his nose.
Seeing this, Liu Xia couldn't help clenching her fists.
Now it seems that if we want to eliminate the banditry here, these officials may cause some trouble if they don't take measures.
Liu Xia stayed in the porridge for a long time. At nightfall, he found an inconspicuous corner and lay on the ground with these poor people to wait for dark.
If Song Qingming wanted to take action, he would definitely choose to do it at night. People were coming and going during the day, and there were officers and soldiers stationed outside the city. He knew that Liu Xia would be angered if he did it blatantly.
Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, the officers and soldiers from the porridge began to come here to disperse the people.
This place is very close to the inn, and Song Qingming didn't want to give Liu Xia any leverage.
Liu Xia fought in the crowd and was driven away from here. Afterwards, several streets around the county government office were put under martial law.
Liu Xia hurried to a dilapidated courtyard, put on night clothes, and quietly walked towards the inn.
When they arrived at the inn, the imperial guards were on duty all around. Liu Xia found a hidden place and hid.
As time passed by, the sky at this moment had completely darkened.
The dark clouds lingered in the sky, and a cold wind blew, already carrying the chill of late autumn.
Wu Jiajun, who pretended to be Fang Datong, is now being imprisoned in a house in the backyard of Ziyi Station. In the huge inn, except for the lights at a few duty stations, there is only one lonely room in the backyard with lights on.
The Royal Forest Army had already received Liu Xia's order, and when it got dark, they would go back to their rooms to rest without being on duty, lest the assassins kill them.
At this time, they all quietly withdrew from the inn. At this time, Wu Jiajun was the only one left in the inn.
Through the door, you can see Wu Jiajun's figure crouching at the table, holding a book in his hand, not knowing what he is reading.
At this moment, Liu Xia heard a rush of footsteps.
It felt like there were more than thirty people. Judging from the sound of their breathing, most of them were masters. Moreover, the breathing of two people was particularly distant. Liu Xia guessed that they should be two masters.
It seems that Song Qingming really thinks highly of Fang Datong. With more than a dozen guards and two masters to guard him, it is inevitable for him to take action.
