Dou An was a little angry at first, feeling embarrassed and shameless, but then he thought about it, who wants to be friends with a cold-faced person like him?Then he showed some arrogance again.Looking at the angry look again, my mood actually improved again.

The atmosphere was a little cold for a while, and Luo Wushuang came out with a smile to smooth things over: "Brother, since your president is not here, we have important matters to attend to, so we will leave first." As he spoke, he quietly tugged on Mu Junze's sleeve. .

After walking out of the Chamber of Commerce, Luo Wushuang whispered: "Your Highness, we may have to spend some time on this tent."

"How to say?"

"That girl just now should be a figure in the Chamber of Commerce." Luo Wushuang said: "I'm afraid we need to investigate carefully about the background of the Shangshan Chamber of Commerce."

"Girl?" Mu Junze was a little surprised.

"That's right, although she is disguised as a man, she clearly carries the daughter's fragrance that young girls love to use when bathing." Luo Wushuang explained while analyzing: "The president of the Shangshan Chamber of Commerce avoided seeing her, but sent a woman to pretend to be a man." No matter what the purpose is when we meet in men's clothing, it is certain that we are not sincere in our cooperation."

"No wonder!" Dou An slapped his thigh: "I'm just telling you how a grown man can be so weak!"

"I was negligent." Mu Junze frowned and quickly thought about how to remedy the situation.

Luo Wushuang suddenly felt distressed.Along the way, I watched him making plans, collecting information from all sources, and arranging various matters, without stopping for a moment.He has never been the kind of idle prince who does not care about political affairs as rumored outside. He even has to work much harder than many ordinary people just to survive.

"How about trying the stupidest way." Luo Wushuang suggested: "Send a few people to stay in Shangshan to check out the local big bamboo growers, always pay attention to the progress of tent weaving and acquisitions, and at the same time keep an eye on the Chamber of Commerce. It would be best if they fulfill their contract. If anything happens, we will know it immediately. Even if it happens, we will have to grab the things."

Mu Junze looked at Luo Wushuang and smiled again. He said with fond eyes, "Just what I want."

The Shangshan Chamber of Commerce has always been mysterious. It will take a long time to find out the details. It would be more efficient to send someone to stay guard.So, King Yan left six guards behind, and then the group went straight to Xinzi.

After passing Shangshan, we could see people fleeing the disaster from time to time along the road. They were in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and skinny muscles. Some were with their families and some were alone.At this time, Mu Junze and the others had changed into the coarse cloth clothes that the locals usually wore, and occasionally stopped a few victims to ask about Xinzi's suffering.

"The house has been washed away. I have no choice but to...have nothing to eat. I have to go to other counties to beg for food. The children have been hungry for several meals..." An old woman held a five or six-year-old child by the hand. He took a bowl with a shaky hand, stopped and answered.

"Didn't the government arrange for you?" Luo Wushuang asked again.

"Government? I'm afraid the gentlemen in the government can't protect themselves. How can they have time to take care of us? If someone had taken care of us, my son wouldn't be so lost... leaving me alone..." The old woman couldn't help but feel sad when she talked about it. Tears flowed freely.

Luo Wushuang felt sour and gave her most of the dry food and water on his body. The old woman thanked her profusely, but Luo Wushuang felt unhappy.

"There are so many refugees along the road. I don't know what the situation is in the city." Luo Wushuang originally didn't feel much about the floods here. The previous charity auction was just to let the emperor give some blood and promote his fragrance. But when she saw so many people homeless, the sourness and touch in her heart was real.Especially when she saw the helpless old people and children, and their humble figures struggling to survive, she felt that she was too weak. With so many people, could she help them?
The gate of Xinzi City was a little deserted. From time to time, two people walked out of the doorway, but the doorway in was empty, with only two gatekeepers chatting there.

Seeing Mu Junze's green sedan, the two guards squinted their eyes and exchanged glances.Magistrate Zhao asked them to pick up His Highness King Yan here. This group of people didn't look like him.A guard came up and asked, "What are you doing?"

Luo Wushuang stepped forward very respectfully and said, "Master, we are here to find a relative."

The man became even more disdainful and said: "The city is flooded, and the whole city is full of victims. People are being moved, and people are fleeing. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find your relatives now!"

"I just wanted to come and have a look. Just to think about it, please let me go!" Luo Wushuang acted like a commoner who had never seen the world.

The guard looked up and down, then looked at the two men standing next to the sedan behind him. After waiting for a moment, he said angrily: "Do you know the rules for entering?"

Luo Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the guard meant. He really didn't expect that a guard from a small county town would actually want to take advantage of those who followed the city gate at this time.

The king of hell was easy to deal with, but the kid was difficult to deal with. Luo Wushuang didn't have any money. She smiled and said "Wait a moment", then went to Mu Junze and asked for some copper coins.

Mu Junze was about to take out some broken silver from his sleeve, but was stopped by Luo Wushuang: "Your Highness, don't you have any copper coins? Send them away, they don't need so much. Don't feed their appetite!"

Mu Junze shook his head in embarrassment.

Luo Wushuang looked at Dou An again.Dou An smiled and took out a sling of copper coins and waved it in front of Mu Junze: "I have it, you can exchange it for silver!"

Luo Wushuang wordlessly snatched the coins and gave them to the guard. The guard glanced at them and saw that there were forty or fifty coins. Naturally, he was very satisfied and his attitude became better. He stopped talking nonsense and let them go directly.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they heard the rumble of carriages behind them. When they turned around, they saw that a convoy transporting grain had arrived.Mu Junze and the others stopped.

The two guards came forward to check and heard that it was a convoy delivering food. They were very surprised because they had not received any notification that food had been delivered recently.One of the guards asked: "Where are you from?"

"Huaiyang."

The two guards frowned. This was even more wrong. Xinzi County had always only purchased food from Mingguang County. How could there be food from Huaiyang?So, one person interrogated him there, and the other quickly reported it to the county government office.

The reason why these guards were so cautious was that they were once given a month's salary by the county magistrate because they mistakenly brought food from elsewhere to the city for sale.So from then on, the most stringent thing they inspected was the grain transport team. Only grain stamped with the seal of Mingguang County could enter the city.

Luo Wushuang looked at Mu Junze and asked if he wanted to explain the situation.

Mu Junze looked at the grain transport team blocked at the city gate from a distance, with suppressed anger in his eyes. He shook his head: "Let's go, let's go meet that Zhao Ziji first."
