Chapter 930 The Young Beggar
Going west along the official road near Bailu Village, the three of them finally reached the boundary of Yunzhou.

In order not to let Yue'er suffer from the long-distance fatigue, Li Qingmu bought a carriage specially for the three of them to travel around, but they encountered three or four groups of bandits one after another on the road.

These bandits were dressed in tattered clothes, they were thin and out of shape, they didn't look like the rumored bandits at all, Li Qingmu didn't make it difficult for them because they were all refugees with no way out.

"Well, it is said that the government is forcing the people to rebel, and these bandits have no other way out, so they fall into the bandits." Qi Jingyu was deeply moved, and the encounters along the way far exceeded the notes presented to him by the ministers.

In the memorial, they always preached that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and they flattered a few more along the way, saying that his literary and martial virtues are unprecedented.

But it was only when he really entered the society that he realized how outrageously wrong he was.

Obscure Moon also felt helpless for these refugees, if it wasn't for the loss of land, the family would have been forced to ruin by the country gentry, who would want to commit murder and robbery outside.

Seeing that there were still teenage children among the bandits, with hungry chests sticking to their backs, he asked Li Qingmu to share the 50 taels of silver notes he had received from Zhao Wanqing with them.

The reason why they don't give too much at a time is because they are afraid that they will have internal strife and cause cannibalism.

When a person is starved of food, any moral bottom line can be broken, let alone kill a few people.

Fortunately, the situation in Yunzhou City is better. There are guards at the city gate and guards patrolling the city, so the security conditions are much better.

Looking at the street vendors who set up stalls to sell goods, Ozuki couldn't help but miss the days when she started from nothing. At that time, she relied on her own efforts to subsidize her family.

Li Qingmu looked at her lingering look, and joked with a smile: "Touching the scene and falling in love?"

"A little bit, I remembered when we were poor in the past." Ozuki picked up a paper windmill on the booth and blew it a few times, with a childlike smile on her face.

"If you like, let's buy a house here and come and live here for a while every year." Li Qingmu suggested.

Ozuki put down the windmill with a smile: "Let's forget it, I don't want to live a hard life anymore."

"Haha, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal." Li Qingmu shook his head dumbfounded.

Thinking of the impoverished days in Qingshui Village, Li Qingmu was also very emotional. If it hadn't been for the accidental accident that he married Obscure Moon, he might also be a bachelor with no family. How could he still have a good life today.

Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Qi Jingyu became sour again, and his Gao Mingyue didn't know where he was. Another purpose of coming out for this private visit was to find her.

But the other party has been hiding from him, and has always refused to show his face. Although he is the king of a country, there is nothing he can do about it.

Although Uncle Huang promised to use the people from Yulongtai to help him find it, but there is no news so far, which makes him very anxious.

"Oh, Mingyue, Mingyue, where are you?"

Lifting his head and sighing, he rubbed his belly and suggested, "Uncle Huang, we've been driving for a day, so why don't we find a place to fill our stomachs?"

"Okay, it happens that Yue'er is also hungry, so let's go to the restaurant in front."

"Yu Xian Lou?" Obscure Moon looked up at the signboard, feeling that the environment of this store is not bad.

When the waiter saw the business, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "The three guests are welcome, what do you want to eat?"

"Get one of your signature dishes!" Li Qingmu didn't bother to look at the menu.

Xiaoer was happy when he heard that, and hurriedly greeted: "The private room on the second floor, the three of you, be careful of the slippery stairs."

Look at the clothes and dresses of these three people, they look like rich people, and they will eat desserts for a while, maybe they can earn some rewards.

Going up the stairs, there are other guys helping to wipe the table and pour water, Ozuki walked to the side of the railing, looking at the passers-by walking slowly downstairs, as well as the trees in the distance and the green moss on the green tiles.

Overall, the scenery is not bad.

The back kitchen was very fast, and the three of them started serving dishes one after another after they were seated. They were chatting about what they had seen on the road when suddenly a sloppy beggar came up from the stairs.

"Little Er! Serve me wine!"

This person looked very young, but the clothes on his body were torn and torn, exuding a pungent stench.

Unkempt, unable to see the real face, but with a good sword on his waist.

When the waiter heard the greeting, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately put a jar of wine in front of him, and placed a few rough porcelain bowls.

"Guest officer, this is the daughter red wine you want, please use it slowly."

Judging by the humble and disgusted look of the waiter in the shop, this beggar should be a regular customer.

But in such an elegant restaurant, how could a smelly beggar be allowed in to eat?
Ozuki quietly covered her nose, her appetite was greatly affected.

Seeing this, Li Qingmu stood up displeased and was about to chase the beggar away, but Miyue hurriedly stopped him: "Forget it, let's finish eating early and leave early."

The young beggar used his thumb to pick out the seal mud, filled three big bowls, drank it all in one gulp, and then recited the poem proudly: "Ten years of cold windows are unsatisfactory, where can I hide in the quagmire of troubled times? ...Who is confused and who is clear?"

This poem is not bad, Qi Jingyu nodded secretly, probably knowing why the young beggar got drunk here.

Presumably, Kong has a whole body of abilities, but he has nowhere to display them. He would rather be depressed and drunk than join the ranks of others, right?
Thinking of this, he smiled and praised: "Does this friend really want to be an official?"

"What kind of a fart, those moths will swallow up the Great Zhou Dynasty sooner or later, what kind of official should I be?"

"Then why did you write this poem?" Qi Jingyu asked puzzled.

"It's not that dog emperor, who is greedy for pleasure all day long, has three thousand beauties in the harem, plays and sings day and night, and ignores the government, causing the people to be displaced, turning grass into bandits, and the people are not living! The people are not living!"

Qi Jingyu smiled, not angry, and asked him again: "Have you seen the emperor? Do you know that he enjoys himself in the harem every day?"

"Hehe, since ancient times, which dynasty and generation have been different. The founding emperor conquered the country, and the descendants were not as good as the next generation. In the end, they were overthrown by others and a new dynasty was re-established. How could the Great Zhou Dynasty be spared?"

Seeing that the beggar was interesting, Li Qingmu also became interested, and asked him: "Then in your opinion, how can we change the status quo?"

"I don't care which dynasty he is in, the Jinshi was cut off by me, and he was cut off by that dog emperor..."

The young beggar lay on the table, laughed at himself, and then snored again.

Obscure moon and Li Qingmu both turned their attention to Qi Jingyu, the meaning was obvious, did you do it?

Qi Jingyu quickly waved his hands: "It's not me, I don't even know what happened, it must be the ministers who did it!"

Scholars with unsatisfactory lives are everywhere, but there are not many like the one in front of him who got drunk and cursed at the current emperor, because it is easy to get killed.

Qi Jingyu decided to ask him what was going on after he sobered up.
