Gu Mian smiled mysteriously, "Looking at the entire Yangming Town, which place do you think is more suitable for hiding?
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said: "Could it be the county government? No, isn't this exposing one's feet to be caught? Is there such a good place in Yangming Town?"
Gu Mian replied: "Of course it's not the county government office, it's the Drum Tower on this street. Most people can't enter this place. It's a good place to observe the surroundings. You can see it if you stick your head out!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that the Drum Tower was used to tell time, sound drums to warn people, and hold major events. Only with the consent of the county magistrate could one enter such an important place!
She stood up, stretched out her head and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a tall city standing there with a watchtower on the wall. This should be the Drum Tower that Gu Mian was talking about!
Is Brother Liang really here?
When Lin Xiaoyue was about to stretch her head back, she suddenly saw a few more sloppily dressed men on the road. They just found a place to sit and beg. When a few good-hearted people passed by, they would throw some food or a tael.
Money passes.
"Mr. Gu, I saw a beggar, do you think it's the Cheetah Army?" Lin Xiaoyue sat back on her seat and asked nervously.
Gu Mian also poked his head out to take a look, and immediately denied it, "No! They are refugees who have been hungry for several days, with no food or water. How could they sit so calmly as soon as they came in? And some people gave out steamed buns.
, they didn’t pick it up to eat right away, that’s for sure not the case!”
When Lin Xiaoyue saw what Gu Mian said, she stopped looking at the beggars and stared at the people going in and out under the Drum Tower, because the Cheetah Army would definitely pass the Drum Tower when entering from the city gate.
Suddenly, several more men wearing shabby clothes came in. Lin Xiaoyue immediately focused her eyes on these people, "Mr. Gu, look, there are a few more here!"
Gu Mian immediately stretched out his head and took a look. He saw these beggar-like men. When they saw the beggars sitting begging, they stepped forward to grab their steamed buns. How could the beggars on the ground give up?
In an instant, these people were all in a mess, attracting many people to watch.
Some people who dislike the excitement and are not afraid of causing trouble are still provoking people nearby.
"Goudan, you beg for food in the city every day. If you are defeated by the newcomer, how can you still hang out?"
"Hit me hard and make me happy. I will reward you with money!"
"Okay! Okay! Good fight! Keep fighting!"
…
The fight here wasn't over yet, and a few more beggars came over. They took advantage of the chaos, picked up the steamed buns on the street, and started eating the buns. "Eat quickly, it's so delicious! I'm going to starve to death!"
The shopkeeper and the waiter at Wang Laoer's steamed bun shop were watching the fun. When they found out, the few people who had just eaten had disappeared, and not a single steamed bun was left in the steamer!
"Ah! Stealing things! All the buns and buns in my store were stolen!"
People who were watching the fight between beggars on the street went to Wanglaoer Steamed Bun Shop to watch the fun. The steamed buns at this restaurant were extremely expensive. Not only that, they were also thin in skin and meat. If you have suffered a loss here, you will never come back again!
As time went by, the business of Wang Lao Er Baozi Shop became worse and worse, with almost no one patronizing it. The strange thing is that Wang Laoer Baozi Shop should have closed down because it was unable to make ends meet, but as a result, after being open for several years, there was no shortage of shopkeepers!
The people watching the excitement pointed at the shopkeeper of Wanglaoer Steamed Bun Shop, thinking that this was retribution!
"Your buns are so small, the skin is thin, and the fillings are still small. If someone steals your buns, you should all be lucky!"
"That's right! I don't even want these buns given to me for free!"
"So, you can't have a bad conscience. If you cheat people's money every day, you will be punished sooner or later!"
…
The shopkeeper of Wanglaoer Steamed Bun Shop was so scolded that he was not upset enough. There was a group of people watching the fun and scolding him at the door. Today he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
"Come here, drive these troublemakers out!" He called the waiter to drive them away together, "Get out! It's none of your business! If you don't like our buns, you don't have to buy them, no one is forcing you!"
Many of the people watching had suffered losses here. They cursed angrily: "Didn't you force us? We want our money back, why don't you refuse? The buns are small, and the steamed buns are even smaller. In order to cheat the weight, stones are stuffed inside.
, with your virtues, sooner or later someone will take revenge!"
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he would be the one to make a fool of himself while watching the fun!
He depressedly said to the waiter beside him: "Go and ask the county magistrate to arrest these unruly people!"
The onlookers were frightened after hearing this, but in the next second, crowds of people poured into the bun shop like a tide. Everyone was wearing rags, their bodies smelled bad, and the lice on their heads were visible to the naked eye!
"It's the refugees! Run!" The people watching covered their noses and ran away all at once. When they returned home, they all closed their doors and locked them, for fear that the refugees would come and rob them.
At Wang Laoer Baozi Shop, although the buns are not very good, the shopkeeper and the waiter are not bad at martial arts. They managed to drive out a few refugees with just a few hits, but there were too many refugees running in. Seeing the valuable ones
, everything that can be eaten is taken at hand, without any hesitation.
After taking the food from Wang Er's old bun shop, hundreds of refugees rushed into another rice and grain store to grab food, and then they ran to the restaurant to grab food... It can be said that there was no grass growing wherever they went!
Lin Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the second floor of the Pink Rouge Shop, watched with excitement. If Liang Jingyao and Chen Yunyun hadn't been there, she would have used space to become invisible and follow the large forces in the sweep!
"Mr. Gu, they are here! I looked at several shops that were robbed, and it seems that they were all opened here by people sent by Emperor Liang. It's so refreshing to see them!"
Gu Mian patted his thigh and said happily: "That's right! I felt so happy when I saw it! I hope the county magistrate will show up later and rob all the stores opened by Emperor Liang first!"
Lin Xiaoyue was not sure how long the county magistrate could last? Because she had just seen several people running to the county government office, probably to complain!
"I don't expect this. The county magistrate can't be too biased towards these refugees. Otherwise, once these Liang Emperor's minions return to the palace to complain, Emperor Liang will vent all his anger towards Brother Liang on the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will not be able to keep his black hat.
He’s a kid, maybe he’ll want his head!”
Gu Mian patted his head and sighed: "Oh, why didn't I think of this?"
Lin Xiaoyue listened to the noisy noises coming from the street and said worriedly: "What I'm more worried about now is whether General Hussar will come? If someone goes to report the news, the county magistrate will have to step aside!"
Gu Mian couldn't help but frowned. General Hussar was a ruthless character. If he came, the only one who could suppress him would be Emperor Liang in the palace!
No! We must not let him come! We must find a way to stop the Cavalry General!
