When I returned to the small courtyard on the 15th, I saw that the princess asked the inn clerk to place their dinner in the courtyard. Several "unscrupulous" brothers had already started. Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise, I would have had to give it to him.
There is some vegetable soup left.
"You've been wandering around the city all day, why are you still looking like a starving ghost?" Chu Yi said with some disgust, giving Shi Fifteen a place to eat.
The few secret guards who followed the prince out of the city were starving. The epidemic was rampant in Feilai Temple, and the princess had already told them that they were not allowed to eat or drink there, not even the dry food she brought.
"Don't mention it, there are indeed several restaurants and restaurants in Xunzhou City. But the prices are too scary. A meat bun is 200 yuan, a plate of dishes is 20 taels of silver, and all kinds of snacks are almost 1 tael of silver a piece...
..." Fifteen was also very upset. He only ate five meat buns the size of walnuts for lunch, which was not enough to fill his teeth.
"Is it so expensive?" Xun Yi couldn't help but frowned, "How will the people in the city live?"
"Sell your son, sell your daughter, sell your wife." Fifteen thought about what he had seen that day, "Now the cheapest thing in this city is people, but they don't need money, they have to be exchanged for food. One or two liters of rice can be exchanged for a big job.
people……"
"By doing this, the governor of Xunzhou is not afraid that the people will cause trouble?" Chu Yi felt that if the people had no food to eat, they would cause chaos.
Fifteen shook his head: "The governor's methods are very powerful. Since the city gate was closed, anyone who took the lead in making trouble or committing robbery and theft would be driven out of the city once caught. The situation outside the city is like that.
Going out is a dead end.
Previously, beggars caused trouble and were driven out of the city by the defenders, so no one else dared to do so."
Si Haochen saw that Mingruo was playing with the large and small packages he bought on the 15th. He went over and saw that they were various candies. Mingruo cut the oil paper into small pieces, and then wrapped the candies one by one.
Si Haochen knew it just by looking at it, and helped Mingruo wrap the candies together: "Why do you have to wrap the candies piece by piece?"
"It's more convenient to eat this way. Even if your hands are unclean, you can eat it without touching the candy." Mingruo decided to prepare some individually packaged candy for the secret guards. They need to travel to and from the epidemic area, so they must pay special attention to the disease.
Oral entrance'.
Si Haochen immediately guessed what his wife was going to do with the candies. He threw away the 'candy wrapper' in his hand and said, "Let them wrap it themselves..."
"..." Mingruo was a little amused, "I'm afraid that if they are clumsy and don't wrap them tightly enough, they might contract cholera if they eat them."
His Royal Highness Prince Yun also knew that now was the time to employ people, so he resignedly wrapped the candies. (Fifteen: Hey, have any of you seen the candies wrapped by the prince? Not only did some of us look at them, but some of us also ate them! The first day of the new year: You
But shut up, I’m not afraid that the master will sew your mouth shut!)
After wrapping several large bags of candies, Mingruo stretched out his hands.
"You go to the space and take a nap, I'll go out for a while." Si Haochen stood up and changed into a black outfit.
"Are you going to visit the prefect's house at night?" Mingruo immediately stood up straight and regained his energy.
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded.
"Take me with you." Mingruo doesn't have much interest in the prefect's mansion, but she has a good way to 'find' the account books!
Although the secret guard reported that the defense of the prefect's mansion was average, Si Haochen still did not want to take the risk with his wife.
Seeing that her husband was about to reject her, Mingruo hurriedly leaned into Si Haochen's ear and whispered like this.
"You, where did you get all these crazy ideas?" Si Haochen poked Mingruo's forehead.
"Hey, this is called making the best use of things." Mingruo changed into a black suit, waved her little hand, "Let's go!"
The secret guard who was ready to go was not surprised when he saw his master bringing the princess with him. After all, the strength of his princess was there.
Si Haochen made a gesture, and more than a dozen secret guards were divided into several groups and went to the rich man's house who was colluding with Governor Cheng. Only Chu Yi and Xun Yi followed their master.
Fifteen is very proud today, taking Lao Tie as the 'team leader'. He is ready to join forces with Lao Tie to do something big.
After entering the prefect's house, Chu Yi and Xun Yi went to the study to search. Si Haochen took his wife and landed on the roof of the prefect Cheng's bedroom.
Hearing the commotion below, Mingruo's eyebrows jumped - the prefect's taste is quite strong. Si Haochen couldn't help but frown, it was already late at night, why are you still not sleeping?
"Ah...please sir...ah..." Several shrill screams came from the bedroom.
Si Haochen took Mingruo and jumped to a big tree in the corner of the yard. Mingruo called out the weapon spirit and asked him to go into the house to check.
Although the whiteboard has no physical body and cannot help you 'pick up' things, you don't have to go through the door specially. You can pass through the wall.
The whiteboard floated into the room, but was disgusted by the scene inside - two young women were kneeling on the ground with their bellybands on, and Governor Cheng was holding a whip, beating them while laughing...
The woman begging for mercy and the man laughing made the whiteboard very impatient. If there was a real entity, he would just tie this big pervert a few times and throw it outside and it would quiet down.
Enduring his ears being tortured, the whiteboard walked around the room and soon discovered the dark room hidden under the bed. The whiteboard dispersed its shape in the air, regrouped, and appeared in the dark room.
Because the whiteboard is a magical tool, even if there is no light in the dark room, you can still see the room full of golden ingots and various colorful gems.
It's a pity that these are not what the master wants... (Mingruo is bright-eyed: It's not a pity, it's not a pity, I can have these too!)
Whiteboard used the same method to 'enter' the secret compartment of the darkroom. However, the secret compartment was too small, which made him feel particularly frustrated. Fortunately, three thick account books were inside.
The whiteboard disappeared from the 'hidden grid' and reunited in the house. Just as Cheng Taishou had beaten the two concubines well and was about to enter the next step, he saw a translucent light and shadow appearing in front of his eyes, and he immediately withered.
: "Ah... ghost... there is a ghost!"
Cheng Taishou's body softened and he fell under the bed. His head hit the footrest. Although there were stars in his eyes, the pain made him sober.
Cheng Taishou comforted himself that there were so many ghosts in the world, and he must have been dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the place where the ghost was just now. That's right, it was still a translucent piece floating there.
At this time, the two aunts also saw the whiteboard and screamed repeatedly. They ran out and shouted: "The ghost is coming... There is a ghost..."
Cheng Taishou was really scared at this time. If only he saw it, he might be dazzled. If others can see it, it means it is really haunted...
He had indeed killed many women in this house, and he usually didn't think anything of it. Now, when he was frightened by a ghost, he felt that everything was full of ghosts.
Taishou Cheng didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He rolled out of the yard and ran directly to the yard where his wife lived. He thought there was a Buddhist temple there, and ghosts would definitely not dare to go there!
