please make me king

Chapter 1189 A chance encounter while shopping
"Sir, did you get up so early?" The next day, before dawn, Zhao Yutou had just walked out of the room, and the yawning guard at the door hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"I'm getting old, I can't sleep anymore!" Zhao Yutou smiled without airs.

"Are you going to change shifts soon? Let them know in a while, and say that I went to the West Market to buy vegetables!"

"Hey, don't!" The guard was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly stopped him, "Wait a moment, I'll call a few people to follow you."

"This prefecture is newly occupied by a rebel army, and people's hearts are not stable. If there is an emergency, my family's general soldiers will not take my skin off?"

"Success, then you can find some people for me!" Zhao Yutou didn't take it seriously, and agreed with a smile when he heard the words.

Not long after, the guard really selected five smart and strong people to come over, and Zhao Yutou led Shi Shiran to the West Market.

The weather is fine today, and due to the purge of the rebel army, the city is already full of life.

When Zhao Yutou walked to the West Market, he saw people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Some people sell vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, radish, and mustard greens; others sell fruits such as jujubes, walnuts, and sugar cane;

Some people sell cooking cakes, sesame seed cakes, soup cakes and various pastries; others sell fresh meat such as pigs, cattle, and sheep;
Many people gathered in front of the booth to bargain and choose fruits and vegetables.

Zhao Yutou wandered around casually, and finally stopped in front of a fishmonger's stall.

"Is there any live fish?" Zhao Yutou looked at the several dead fish in front of him and frowned.

"Yes, yes, there are two big Yellow River carps weighing more than ten catties. They are kept alive and kicking in the back. If the master wants them, I will go get them right away." The fishmonger nodded and bowed.

"Lead the way ahead, I'll go and have a look!" Zhao Yutou became interested, and followed him for more than ten steps to the yard by the street.

"Look, sir, these two..." The fishmonger was about to brag about himself.

But Zhao Yutou said with a smile: "Could it be that this one was caught yesterday, but this one was caught this morning!"

"Hey, master, you are an expert!" The fishmonger said in surprise.

"To tell you the truth, these two fish were originally given to the son of King Zheng in the city to enjoy. It's just that he has something bad in the past few days, so I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy it!"

"Hearing your tone, do you still have a bit of gloating?" Zhao Yutou laughed when he heard this.

"That's right!" the fishmonger said bitterly when he heard the words.

"Tell me how much I can do as a fish buyer. Just because I set up a stall here, I have to offer him a freshly hit live carp from the Yellow River weighing ten catties every morning!"

"I have to pass the scale every time. If it is short by one or two, I will break my dog ​​legs."

"Even if it's interrupted, it's worth it, right?" Zhao Yutou spent most of his life by the river, so he didn't understand what was going on.

Since this guy offered benefits for no reason, I'm afraid he will find compensation from other places on weekdays.

"Hey, hey!" The fishmonger heard the words with an expression that you understand, "I understand everything!"

"Master, I think you are also a wealthy family. How about it, anyway, I have no place to give these two fish, so I might as well give it to you. I hope you can read me if there is any benefit in the future!"

"Forget it, forget it, I don't like it, I don't want it!" Zhao Yutou didn't know that this guy wanted to find a new "protective umbrella", so he waved his hands, turned his head and left.

"Hey? I really don't want money, don't go!" The fishmonger couldn't help being dumbfounded when he thought that he would give away the master for nothing in the world.

"Mr. went shopping all morning just to buy a live carp. Why don't you want it now?" Hearing the fishmonger's yelling behind him, the guard following Zhao Yutou couldn't help but wonder.

"This guy has too much involvement with Prince Zheng's Mansion, so it's not suitable to make friends!" Zhao Yutou shook his head and said coldly.

Meng Jin is not far from Huaiqing Mansion. It's not that he has never heard of Zheng Fan's domineering and domineering deeds.

These people will inevitably be liquidated by King Shun in the future, how can Zhao Yutou care about him?
"Master, master, please do me a favor." Zhao Yutou was talking, but he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Bold!" The guards on the left and right took a look, and couldn't help but untie the scabbard, ready to beat him.

"Hold on!" Zhao Yutou stopped quickly.

It turned out that the one who stopped Zhao Yutou was a rickety old beggar, not only exuded a stench all over his body, but also acted tremblingly, without any threat.

They are all low-level people, Zhao Yutou felt the same way, he couldn't help but handed the money to the guard beside him and said: "Go and buy some cakes for me, so that the old man can have a full meal!"

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, how can I ask for your money?" The guard hurriedly gave way when he heard the words.

"Master, I see that you are kind, can you give me some money?" While the two of them were negotiating, the old beggar saw the bright eyes of the money, and couldn't help asking even more excessively.

"Hey, you, don't push yourself too hard!" The guards on the left and right were opened-eyed, and they couldn't help threatening.

"Ah, no no, master, that's not what I meant." The beggar saw that he said something he shouldn't have said, and couldn't help but knelt down and said with a "plop".

"Just because my son was kidnapped by Prince Zheng, he just escaped last night and was seriously injured. I want to ask the old man for some money to see a doctor."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's important to save people, it's important to save people!" Hearing this, Zhao Yutou hurriedly stepped forward to help the old beggar up.

"Sir, don't listen to his nonsense, the rebel army had already entered the city the night before yesterday, so what nonsense did you say 'escaped last night'?" The guard couldn't help shouting after hearing the words.

"Wait, take a step to talk!" Zhao Yutou was stunned when he heard the words, and a chill came to his heart.

"Escaped last night"?
If this is true, doesn't it mean that there are still thieves with malicious intentions hiding in Huaiqing Prefecture now that the war is imminent?
"You, hurry up and find some more people!" Although Zhao Yutou was old, he was still clear-headed, so he instructed first.

"Others, come with me, let's go and see what the old man's child is doing now!"

"Master?" The beggar was startled when he heard the words, he was only begging for a few money, why such a big fight.

"Old man, don't be afraid!" Zhao Yutou also realized that he had overreacted, so he couldn't help comforting him.

"We're here to see your son. If the injury is serious, I'll pay you for a famous doctor to treat him."

"Okay, okay, then thank you master first!" The old beggar thanked him a lot after hearing the words.

Not long after, the crowd came to a remote alley under the guidance of the old beggar.

A hut was built at the end of the alley, which was not very big, and there was a person with half of his body exposed outside.

"My son, you have met a noble man and want to see you!" The old beggar quickly woke up the lying man.

The man crawled out with the support of the old beggar, also in rags and stench, with a rag wrapped around his thigh, and the rag was stained with dried blood.

Zhao Yutou asked a few words casually, and suddenly asked: "Where did you run out from last night, is Prince Zheng still in the city?"

"Yes, that damned one is hiding in the other courtyard behind the Martial Temple in the north of the city." Hearing this, the man couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

"This guy does all sorts of evil. He specializes in capturing men and women and selling them as slaves. Unfortunately, I was also caught by him."

"Unfortunately, he wanted to 'do something big' last night, and he was extra merciful. Not only did he untie the ropes and chains, but he also gave us weapons."

"I was afraid that something bad would happen, so I sneaked away while they were 'swearing the oath'."

"I didn't want to be discovered halfway, and I was shot by an arrow, and finally hid in a stinky ditch to escape."
