On the wedding night, Concubine Doctor took two cute treasures and blew up the palace

Wen Si'er cursed himself in his heart, withdrew his gaze properly, and started pretending again.

"Your Majesty, please go first."

Lu Yilan snorted lightly and walked over.

Wen Si'er followed behind him, acting like a subordinate. The main street was a few steps away from the side courtyard. At this time, the morning market on the street had already become lively.

As soon as he walked in, Wen Si'er felt the gazes from all directions.

She sighed deeply. What's the point of changing clothes? She will be the focus of the crowd wherever she goes. It's too ostentatious!

But she could only comfort herself in her heart that fortunately she had changed out of that iconic red dress, so what else was there to be dissatisfied with?

It turns out that bringing along this bastard Lu Yilan would only hold him back. If this delay goes on, it might even arouse the vigilance of officials in Xuzhou City.

It is better to take action first and get rid of this trouble...

As she was thinking, a cool breath suddenly approached and a man's deep voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Thinking about how to get rid of me?"

The voice was cold and dangerous. Wen Sier came to his senses almost instantly, stood up straight, and immediately said, "No!"

She looked at Lu Yilan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, gritted her teeth secretly, but put on a flattering smile on her face: "Sir, breakfast is not ready yet, how about... go to the restaurant and sit for a while?"

After saying that, she added as if to show her affection, "My little one will treat you..."

Lu Yilan's complexion looked better. He didn't say anything, but just raised his chin, which meant he agreed.

Wen Si'er breathed a sigh of relief and led the person into a restaurant next door.

Lu Yilan can forget about sitting in the lobby in this state. As soon as he entered, Wen Si'er consciously asked the waiter for a private room. The private room was on the second floor. After going up, Wen Si'er sighed in his heart.

What news are you trying to find out while sitting in a private room?

In this case, the only source of information can only be...

Wen Si'er's eyes fell on the waiter. The waiter who came to serve looked quite smart, with a towel draped over his shoulders and two small fangs showing when he smiled.

Noticing the other party's gaze, the waiter immediately stepped forward and said, "My two guests, what would you like to order?"

As he spoke, his gaze inevitably fell on Lu Yilan several times. This young man had a noble aura and it was obvious at first glance that he was either wealthy or noble.

Just as he was thinking about it, he met Lu Yilan's half-smile gaze. There was obviously no aggression in that gaze, but it made him feel cold from head to toe in an instant. He came back to his senses abruptly and didn't dare to look at it again.

Wen Sier casually ordered a few signature dishes, and then nonchalantly placed a silver ingot on the table, looked at the waiter, and smiled gently: "To be honest, my son and I are new here. We originally wanted to do some small business in Xuzhou City with a batch of goods..."

The waiter's eyes were unconsciously attracted to the silver, but he did not pick it up immediately. He just listened attentively, understanding that the customer wanted to find out some information.

Judging from the appearance of the two young men, they cannot be running a small business but should be big businessmen.

Wen Sier continued, "After arriving in Xuzhou City, I found that entering the city is actually quite inconvenient. Not only are the layers of review strict, but there are also many restrictions on outsiders."

She showed a distressed look at the right time and said, "If the transportation is inconvenient, it will naturally affect business. I wonder if you know why this city gate... is so difficult to enter? Could something have happened in Xuzhou City recently?" This statement was reasonable and really sounded like a businessman who was worried that her business would be affected and was eager to find out information.

The waiter rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Sir, you are right. There has indeed been some unrest outside Xuzhou City these days, so the inspection at the city gate is particularly strict."

Wen Sier's eyes flashed, he pushed the silver on the table forward, and whispered: "Could you please tell me more."

This time, the waiter smiled and took the silver into his arms, and advised: "And be objective, forgive me for being so nosy, but Xuzhou City is in a troubled time right now, and it's really not worth doing business at this time."

Wen Sier was very patient, "What do you mean?"

"The gates of Xuzhou City are almost closed. There are many guards outside. It's because there was a flood in the suburbs. Many mountain villages were flooded, and large numbers of refugees went to various cities."

Lu Yilan tapped the table lightly and suddenly said, "The court has issued disaster relief money, and the law stipulates that cities cannot close their doors to disaster victims. How dare Xuzhou City do such a thing?"

Hearing the stunning young man speak, the waiter immediately spoke more excitedly.

"Speaking of this, you outsiders may not know that these refugees are all unruly people. They even eat people!"

As soon as these words fell, surprise appeared on Wen Sier's face, "Eating people?"

The waiter even rubbed his arms while speaking, and deliberately lowered his voice to bluff people: "Yes, Xuzhou City opened the gates to welcome refugees and even set up a place to give out porridge at the gate, but those unruly people didn't know how to be grateful at all!"

The waiter said with deep sorrow: "The porridge and water were limited to begin with, and we just had to make sure they wouldn't starve to death. These refugees had nowhere to go for a while, and gradually they became restless, wanting to move into Xuzhou City, and finally even wanted to revolt!"

"Later, they were suppressed by the county magistrate. These refugees took to the mountains and became bandits. No one knew where they were hiding. They appeared and disappeared all day long. Some careless people who went up the mountain were left with only skeletons the next day!"

The waiter was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he continued, "That's the group of vicious people who ate the man! And they threw him at the city gate to show off their power!"

Listening to the waiter's vivid description, Wen Si'er was horrified.

She murmured in a low voice: "No wonder..."

She had thought before that if so many refugees suddenly disappeared, it would arouse suspicion from others. Now she understood that it was a drama staged in Xuzhou City.

By portraying those refugees as ghostly monsters who are invisible but extremely vicious, they could find a reason to semi-block the city of Xuzhou and make it difficult for the news to be passed on. They could also clear themselves of the charges and put a big hat on the refugees, making the people of Xuzhou hate them deeply...

Wen Sier couldn't help but feel a little nauseous. This kind of cooking completely blocked those people's retreat! Even if there were some who could escape by chance, there would be almost no way to survive outside.

Thinking of this, she felt complicated for a moment.

The waiter didn't notice anything was wrong with her. He threw the towel over his shoulder and said, "It's not peaceful outside Xuzhou City. You two guests should be more careful if you leave. The mountainous area outside the city is complex and changeable. You may encounter man-eating monsters..."

Wen Si'er smiled politely and said thank you to the waiter for his instructions. The waiter smiled and went downstairs to serve the dishes.

When the private room became quiet, Wen Si'er looked up at Lu Yilan with a puzzled expression and asked the question that had never been paid attention to by her.

"Zhang Wenju who went to the capital to file a complaint..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yilan knew what she wanted to ask. After thinking for a moment, he opened his thin lips slightly.

"It is beyond recognition." (End of this chapter)
