Chapter 13 Missing Refugees
Yan Xiang, the chief registrant, came out and said,
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Now that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu have not surrendered, it is not appropriate for our army to make any more enemies for the time being."

"Although Huaiyin County Magistrate Zhu Ting is neutral, since His Majesty intends to make good friends, he will not dare to disobey."

"In this way, we only need to use a little trick to let Zhu Ting escort a bunch of mobs over without spending a single soldier."

Yuan Shu trusted Yan Xiangsu and said,

"Well, let's follow your plan. Chen Lan, you are guilty and must follow the plan of Master Yan and cooperate with him to arrest the mob."

"If the mob resists, shoot them without mercy."

. . .

Huaiyin County.

The abandoned houses have been cleaned up by the refugees.

The refugees have settled down individually.

Liu Xuan rested for a long time.
Nothing to do,

I was just about to go out for a walk on the street.

I went out and realized something was wrong.

Since Liu Xuan distributed white rice yesterday,

The refugees no longer need to go to Magistrate Zhu to receive relief.

At this moment, the elderly and children among the refugees are all here.
But several men and three young women did not come back.

Among the three young women,
Liu Xuan only remembered that the name of the person he rescued from the food protection team was Sun Waner.

She is the most beautiful woman among this group of people second only to Zhao Liniang.

Sun Wan'er was captured by two soldier leaders that night.

I was almost humiliated again,
Almost terrified.

After being rescued, she has been following Zhao Liniang and Liu Xuan.
It took several days to return to normal.

Naturally, he has great trust in Liu Xuan.

Although I have entered the city now,
Sun Waner can also find some work on her own.
But he would never leave without saying a word.

Liu Xuan turned to Zhao Liniang and said,
"Liniang, where have Sun Waner and Zhao Ming gone?"

"Brother Zhao and the others went out yesterday morning, saying they were going to the county magistrate's office to find work."

"Presumably, they are already working for the county magistrate."

Zhao Liniang frowned slightly as she spoke, as if she felt something was wrong.
"But even if they find work, they should always come back. Their clothes are still here."

"What about Sun Wan'er?"

"Wan'er didn't tell me where she was going. There were so many things going on yesterday that I didn't notice."

Zhao Liniang also vaguely felt that something was wrong at this time, and looked at Liu Xuan worriedly.

"My Lord, nothing will happen to them, right?"

"There are many homeless people in Huaiyin City, and it is inevitable that there will be mobs with evil intentions."

At this time a little girl came up,

"Brother, I know where sister Wan'er has gone."

"Sister Wan'er went with us to get gruel yesterday. Someone from an official family came up and said that the county's garment factory was looking for female workers."

"He saw Sister Wan'er's skill and asked her if she wanted to work in a garment factory. She could earn more than 200 yuan a month. Sister Wan'er just let him go."

The more Liu Xuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Nowadays, there are many refugees in Huaiyin city.
A job worth more than 200 yuan a month,

There should be a lot of people rushing to do it.
Where do you need people to take the initiative to recruit workers?

And those guys like Zhao Ming,
They are all honest farmers,
The most important thing is friendship, even if you have to go to work,
I will definitely come back and explain.

Something is wrong.

"Liniang, come with me, let's go take a look."

Liu Xuan made a quick decision and called Liniang to prepare to go out.
Then he said to the old people and children left in the room,
"You don't need to go anywhere until we come back. If Sun Waner and Zhao Ming come back, let them wait for me at home."

[Notepad opens.]

[In 197 AD, in Huaiyin County, six refugees, including Sun Waner and Zhao Ming, went out to work but did not come back. Feeling something strange, you decided to go out to investigate. 】

[Trigger random mission: missing refugees]

[Mission details: Find the 6 missing refugees. 】

[Task reward: entry*2]

Sure enough, the task was triggered, and Liu Xuan knew that this matter was definitely not simple.After giving instructions to the other refugees, Liu Xuan took Zhao Liniang out of the house.

According to what the little girl said, Sun Waner met a job recruiter at a soup kitchen.

Liu Xuan took Zhao Liniang to the soup kitchen.

It's time to serve porridge in the afternoon.
There is already a long queue at the soup kitchen.
People in official uniforms are organizing soup kitchens.
There are some soldiers on the side to maintain order.

Nothing seemed wrong.

"Come on, let's go queue up too."

The two found two broken bowls.

Falling into the ranks of refugees,
Although Zhao Liniang is still dressed in coarse cloth,
But she is naturally beautiful,
Especially following Liu Xuan these days,

I gained a lot more knowledge,

She exudes a touch of elegance,
It is unique among the refugees.

Liu Xuan believed that if someone really singled out young and beautiful women like Sun Wan'er,
Then it was impossible for them not to notice Zhao Liniang.

Liu Xuan stood behind Zhao Liniang,
With the blessing of keen eagle eyes,
All people coming and going on the street are under his surveillance.
Unfortunately,
The two of them queued for half an hour.
Until I finished receiving the porridge,
Still no movement.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Liu Xuan frowned and thought,

Just listen to Zhao Liniang whisper,

"Lord, this method may still have some flaws. Let's change the place."

With that said, he gently pulled Liu Xuan out of the team,

Walk to another soup kitchen.

The two came to an alley near the soup kitchen and hid.
"Lord, let me queue up alone later."

When Liu Xuan heard this, he immediately understood what the problem was.
He and Zhao Liniang appeared together,

The two of them were lining up and chatting.
You can tell at a glance that they are together.

If someone really wants to attack Zhao Liniang,
Liu Xuan is their inevitable obstacle.

Then take care of the obstacles for them.

Liu Xuan nodded,
"Be careful. Just find out the information. Don't act recklessly."

"Well, Liniang knows."

After Zhao Liniang finished speaking, she walked out of the alley alone.

I purposely did not walk with other refugees.
Instead, he walked into the queue alone.

Don't talk to anyone else either,

As if he were alone.

Liu Xuan leaned behind a pillar next to the alley not far away.
His eyes scanned the people near the soup kitchen.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour,

From the yard behind the soup kitchen,

A well-dressed woman came out,
The woman came out of the yard,
After observing the line for a while,
Then he walked straight towards Zhao Liniang,

Smiling and chatting with Zhao Liniang,
"Where did this girl come from?"

Zhao Liniang pretended to be timid and shrank her neck.
"Auntie, I'm from Huaibei. There's a drought at home, so I came to Huaiyin to ask for some food."

After hearing this, the woman sighed,
"Oh, what an evil act of God. There are so many people coming to Huainan to give birth this year. Girl, are you here with your family?"

Zhao Liniang shook her head,

"My family members are all gone. I came with my neighbors from the village and got separated on the road. I am here alone with no friends and no connections. I haven't found a job yet, so I can only get some gruel to survive."

Zhao Liniang said, her eyes a little moist, looking pitiful.

After hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up and she randomly put on a look of pity.
He reached out and patted Zhao Liniang's arm,

"Oh, you are so pitiful, girl. I think you are quite well-behaved and smart. If you are not tired, why not come to the cloth shop in the county to help?"

"My man is in charge of things in Buzhuang. He told me a few days ago that Buzhuang is short of manpower."

"The salary is more than 200 a month. Auntie wants you to be well-behaved and capable. If you want someone else, I'm not willing to introduce you."

When Zhao Liniang heard this, she was very happy.

"Really, Auntie? Thank you so much. I'm just worried about finding something to do."

The woman also had a happy face, took Zhao Liniang's hand,
"Come on, Auntie will take you there right now. You don't have to queue up to get the porridge. Buzhuang is in charge of the food."
