At this point, Chu Run would be a fool if he didn't understand. Thinking back to the way Vernal Equinox was dodging in front of him yesterday, he smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether it was helplessness or guilt. He looked at Li Yan and said lightly: "Since I want to
If you want to go to Caobang, you should leave early to avoid troublesome troubles if you come back late."
Seeing that he accepted it readily, Li Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Fourth Master."
While they were heading to Caobang, Shi Chunfen had already arrived at the shop and started drawing. Without Chu Run to interfere, she drew very smoothly this time. After finishing the drawing, she immediately called for a servant and asked him to go to the market to find workers.
Start decorating today.
While she was sitting in the shop waiting for the workers to come over, a beggar was caught by the servants as he poked his head outside the shop. Hearing them arguing, Shi Chunfen quickly put down the tea cup in his hand and went out to check the situation, "
What happened?"
"Grandma," the servant outside the door replied, "This stinky beggar has been peeking at you at the door. We are about to arrest him and take him to the official."
"No, Madam!" The beggar shouted anxiously, "It was your servant who came to bribe me and asked me to help keep an eye on the bandits in the city. I just got news and came to report to her."
"Oh?" Shi Chunfen frowned and quickly remembered this.
Before she found out the truth, she did ask Li Yan to bribe a few refugees to help, but there was no news, so she gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, now that the matter has settled, there is news.
"It's true." She raised her hand slightly, signaling the servants to let go of the beggar, then took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and gave it to the servants to pass to him, "But now we don't need the news anymore.
Thank you very much for coming here to report the news."
The beggar accepted the money with a smile. When he saw Shichun Equinox turning around to leave, he rolled his eyes and said loudly: "But this matter is of great importance. Are you sure you don't want to listen, madam?"
Shi Chunfen paused, thinking that he had nothing else to do now, and it wouldn't be much of a loss to listen, so he turned around and said, "Then come in and talk about it."
She let the beggar enter the shop. The beggar stood in front of her, nodded and bowed and said: "Madam, this matter is of great importance. If I say it, it may affect the situation of the entire Shuzhou. If you are satisfied after listening to it, can you
Again..." He rubbed his thumb and index finger together, making it clear that he still wanted money.
The Spring Equinox doesn't matter. She doesn't have much of anything now, and the most she has is money. However, the other party looks like she is being taken advantage of, which really makes her a little uncomfortable. "If this news is useful, the money will naturally be yours."
But if you are playing tricks on me and deliberately wasting my time, then I will certainly not let you go."
Hearing her warning words, the beggar shrank his neck and said with a smile: "Of course...of course!"
He glanced to the side, obviously wary of the servants around him.
Shi Chunquin thought for a while and took the initiative: "You all go to the door and guard it. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."
"Yes." The servants responded and quickly retreated outside the shop, but their eyes were still fixed on the inside of the shop to prevent the beggar from playing tricks and offending their grandmother.
After making sure that the servants could not hear their conversation, Shi Chunfen looked at the beggar and said calmly: "Are you willing to speak now?"
The beggar made a sound and said mysteriously: "The villain has discovered a huge secret that will definitely make Madam's money worth every penny spent."
Shi Chunfen raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating for him to continue.
"The current governor of Shuzhou has long been replaced by someone else, and now this Ren Shu is a fake."
"What?!" Shi Chunfen's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly, "You can't joke about this kind of thing. Is what you said true or false?"
"Of course it's true." The beggar affirmed: "And I also know where they locked up the real Shuzhou prefect."
Seeing his confident look, Shi Chunfen's heart suddenly sank. A beggar wouldn't dare to make such a big deal about such a big thing. Thinking about Ren Shu's various styles, Shi Chunfen actually believed it 70% to 80% of the time.
, she still had to find someone to confirm the remaining 20%.
"This matter is of great importance, have you told anyone else?" Shi Chunquin asked worriedly.
The beggar quickly waved his hand and said bluntly: "Now that Shuzhou City is full of the influence of that impostor, how dare you go around talking nonsense? Do you think you don't die soon enough? The reason why I told my wife is just to see you.
Someone from out of town should not have anything to do with that thief, so I'm just exchanging the information for some money."
Seeing him calling Ren Shu "dog thief", Shi Chunfen narrowed his eyes immediately, "As far as I know, the current prefect has always taken care of the refugees from Qingzhou. Even if he is a fake, it has nothing to do with you. Why do you
Hate him so much?"
"This..." The beggar was caught off guard by her question and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing him hesitating, Shi Chunfen's cheeks darkened, "You are not a refugee from Qingzhou at all, nor are you someone I bribed before. What are your intentions in coming here pretending to be a beggar to tell me this news?!"
Seeing that he was exposed on the spot, the beggar sighed and knelt down to her on the spot, "To be honest, I am an old subordinate of the former Shuzhou prefect. Ever since the prefect was replaced, I have been transforming into a beggar and lurking around.
Find out the news in the city. From the moment you entered Shuzhou City, the villain has noticed you. You are from other places, and what you eat and drink is either rich or expensive. If you are willing to help me spread this news out of Shuzhou,
Bring order to the chaos, and the villain will be grateful!"
"You targeted us as soon as we entered the city?" Shi Chunfen became increasingly vigilant, "Then you should know that we have some dealings with the current prefect, aren't you afraid that we will betray you in turn?"
"Probably not." The beggar lowered his head and said, "I know very well that you guys teamed up with the Cao Gang to blow up the prefect's mansion the day before yesterday. Although it seems that you have already reached an agreement with the prefect, you probably won't agree with what he did.
Where are you going? That’s why I dared to come to see Madam, hoping that you can help save my family’s life.”
"You are really weird." Shi Chunfen still felt that there were many doubts. "Since you can lurk in Shuzhou City for so long, it means that your actions are free. Why don't you leave Shuzhou and go to Beijing to file a complaint?"
"If the complaint was useful, the villain would have gone long ago." The beggar sighed: "Just because the old subordinate who was with my lord back then was killed and arrested, if you want to prove that this lord is a fake now, it's really hard.
It’s a bit difficult. But if my wife and Caobang jointly submit a report, I believe it will attract the attention of the court. Only then will it be possible to thoroughly investigate the matter and restore my family’s innocence.”
