The world is enchanting, the handsome man is so enchanting

Chapter 423 Pretend to be a beggar and find out the news

Bai Xiaoyue nodded and cupped her hands in thanks, "That's it, thank you both!" Once again, they set foot in the capital of Yufeng Kingdom, and the lifeless capital surprised Bai Xiaoyue and Yu Qingyan.The bustling and noisy market is now desolate and empty, only the fallen leaves swirl with the wind, rise and fall, and float alone into the distance.

After walking for a while, they saw only three people in total.And these three people, two of them were officials in official uniforms, carrying a corpse wrapped in a white cloth one after the other, and an old man who staggered and coughed slowly behind the officials.

"I didn't expect that the capital would be so desolate..."

Yu Qingyan looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.She hadn't seen her for a long time, and the capital had changed so much overnight, she suddenly had the illusion of falling from heaven to hell.

"It seems that the epidemic is more serious than we thought!"

If you really don’t know it, if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, how can you believe that the epidemic is so serious that it has completely reduced a city that was originally prosperous and prosperous to a dead city.

"Yue, look, there's a man over there!"

This could be regarded as the fourth living person they saw today!It's just that this man's complexion is livid, his expression is dull, his eyes are red, his steps are slow, his legs are stiff, and he walks like a walking dead, which makes people feel fearful.

"Qingyan, don't go there!"

Bai Xiaoyue looked at this strange man, and held Yu Qingyan's wrist, preventing her from getting any closer to this man.

Yu Qingyan looked up at Bai Xiaoyue, hesitatingly said: "Yue, he looks...something wrong..."

"Very wrong!"

Back this time, everything in the capital is not right!
"Qingyan, let's go to Third Young Master Qian's residence!"

"Ok!"

Qian Sanshao's mansion was the place where he and Feng Yuli had agreed to meet.Because in the capital, only Qian Sanshao's mansion is the safest place where idlers are not allowed to enter.Although he did not dare to confirm whether Feng Yuli and the others were in Sanshao Qian's residence at the moment, he believed that through Sanshao Qian, he would be able to contact Feng Yuli and the others.

The Qian Mansion's courtyard was still as simple as usual, the gate was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard inside the gate.Yu Qingyan and Bai Xiaoyue stood in front of the gate of the house, hesitating, Yu Qingyan asked Bai Xiaoyue, "Yue, do you want to knock on the door?"

"Um……"

Bai Xiaoyue responded, but before she could answer, there was suddenly the sound of slow and heavy footsteps behind her.The two looked back and saw an old man with white hair and thin bones walking behind them, covering his lips and coughing from time to time, coughing up mouthfuls of thick silky black blood.

The two looked at each other, Yu Qingyan looked up at the high brick wall of the house, and asked Bai Xiaoyue, "Yue, how about climbing over the wall and entering?"

"Break over the wall?"

Bai Xiaoyue frowned, subconsciously thinking of Lan Lingyu.

Every time this brat enters Third Young Master Qian's mansion, he climbs over the wall, and even gets acquainted with the hidden guards guarding the gate of Qian's mansion. It's really... quite speechless!
"Could it be that there is no main entrance to go through, and you have to climb over the wall to enter,..."

Bai Xiaoyue asked herself that she hadn't done anything shady, so they wouldn't need to be so sneaky.

Yu Qingyan tapped her lips with her index finger, and said hesitantly, "Then... let's knock on the door..."

Bai Xiaoyue touched her chin and smiled mysteriously, "Or, I have a better idea!"

"Ok?"

Yu Qingyan tilted her head with a look of confusion.

"Qingyan, come with me!"

……

A moment later, two unkempt beggars, covered in mud and hair covered in grass clippings, staggered and sat down at the gate of Qian's Mansion.You look at me, I look at you, and then the two curled up in an inconspicuous corner by the door of the Qian Mansion, with their hands folded and their bodies shrunk, they sat directly on the ground, retracted their proud feathers, and stared at the world with all their might. His imposing manner, drooping his head is really no different from a beggar.

"Yue, what the hell are you doing?"

"Qingyan, watch quietly, listen quietly, don't talk too much, I want to see what's going on in the capital."

"But, even if you want to get information, why do you have to pretend to be a beggar..."

"Qingyan, the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, and has the best news. Do you know why..."

"Because they live in the market, hang out in the dirtiest and darkest corners, deal with all kinds of people, and it is easy to sniff out all kinds of information,..."

"Today, let's be beggars for once!"

Since Bai Xiaoyue insisted on this, Yu Qingyan could only sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.They tried their best to turn themselves into poor people who nested under the eaves of other people's houses to shelter from the wind and rain and beg for food.

Not far away, two officials passed by, cursing,
"Bah! It's a hell of a bad luck for eight lifetimes! The corpses are collected every day! I have goosebumps all over my body! Who knows if I will be infected!"

"It's okay! Didn't the sixth prince say that we won't be infected if we drink the medicine?"

"Bah! If the medicine is really so effective, why are so many ordinary people still infected!"

"Hush—keep your voice down! According to the Sixth Prince, it's because the amount of this medicine is too small, not enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. It can only be eaten by a small number of people. Therefore, it cannot be spread... "

"Is that medicine really so effective?"

"Hey! Who knows! But you and my brother have carried the corpses for so many days, and there is not a single ailment or pain. This proves that the medicine is still useful, isn't it?"

"Indeed!"

"Don't talk too much! Hurry up and work! There are still more than a dozen corpses in the temple to be carried!"

"Bah! What a bad luck! Quiet died early!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

……

The voices of the two officials went away.

Yu Qingyan looked sideways at Bai Xiaoyue, lowered her voice and whispered in his ear: "Yue, you really hit the spot! You can really hear useful information here!"

"Feng Wushang..." Bai Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "I guessed it a long time ago..."

This matter is indeed related to Feng Wushang!
Yu Qingyan asked in a low voice: "Yue, do you suspect that this plague is caused by Feng Wushang?"

Bai Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but before answering, two young men in brocade clothes came not far away, with anxious expressions and hurrying.I only heard one of them say to the other: "Hey, did you hear what happened last night?"

Another man in the same group asked, "What is it?"

"It's the neighbor Zhang Datu..."

"You mean that Zhang Datu suddenly went berserk and hacked his wife and daughter to death, and then ate them into his stomach?"

The man shuddered, feeling sorry for him, "It's too bloody and terrifying, it's really chilling and frightening!"

"I heard that after Zhang Datu ate a living person, he suddenly became so powerful that a dozen big men couldn't stop him. He also chopped up a few people and blew off a person's ears and nose,... ..."

"Yes! That scene is simply too horrible to look at!"

"It is said that Zhang Datu was later taken away by the officials..."

"I don't know where he was taken? Such a horrible and perverted person, I really hope to solve it as soon as possible!"

"yes……"

……

"moon!"

Yu Qingyan looked at Bai Xiaoyue and signaled with her eyes.Bai Xiaoyue pondered, full of doubts.It seems that this matter is much more complicated than he imagined!What happened to this sudden man-eating incident? !
"Moon, carriage!"

While he was thinking, the sound of the wheels of the carriage rumbled from afar.Bai Xiaoyue nudged Yu Qingyan's arm lightly with her elbow, and hinted in a deep voice, "I don't know who is coming, so stay safe!"

Yu Qingyan nodded, listened to Bai Xiaoyue's words and settled down obediently, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, pretending to be dozing off, but in fact she woke up fully and listened to the situation around her.

The gradually approaching carriage stopped at the gate of Qian Mansion, Yu Qingyan peeked through the gap beside her arm, and saw the curtain of the carriage parted, and the chubby figure of Third Young Master Qian came down from the carriage.

Qian Sanshao? !It turned out to be Qian Sanshao? !

Yu Qingyan felt inexplicably joyful, and impulsively wanted to get up to say hello, but was firmly pressed down by Bai Xiaoyue's strong arms.

Bai Xiaoyue gave Yu Qingyan a warning look, signaling to Yu Qingyan to be safe and not to worry.

Third Young Master Qian walked slowly towards the gate of the Qian Mansion, just as he stepped up the white jade steps with his right foot, his eyes fell on Bai Xiaoyue and Yu Qingyan who were curled up in the corner.The eyes were dim, and a sharp light flashed across them. Yu Qingyan and Bai Xiaoyue suddenly felt as if they had been pierced by a sharp weapon, and were bitingly cold.

"what happened?"

Hearing the sound, the gatekeeper who ran out looked around blankly, trembling under Qian Sanshao's gaze, and hurried forward to drive Yu Qingyan and Bai Xiaoyue away.

"Go, go, go, go! Qian Mansion is a place for you to run wild! Get out of here! Those who want porridge or steamed buns can come back tomorrow when the porridge is served!"

Porridge?Are they really beggars? !

Bai Xiaoyue sat there blankly, without any response.Yu Qingyan snuggled up to Bai Xiaoyue's side, grabbed Bai Xiaoyue's clothes tightly, and said tremblingly, "It's so cold...so hungry...I can't walk...I can't walk..."

The little servant put his hands on his hips and threatened, "Presumptuous! How can the Qian family allow you to act wildly here! If you don't get lost, be careful that I will break your legs!"

"Don't...don't...I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."

Yu Qingyan tightly grabbed Bai Xiaoyue's clothes, flinched and begged.Bai Xiaoyue crawled a few steps, grabbed the hem of Qian Sanshao's clothes, and pleaded in a hoarse old voice, "Master, please show us a bowl of rice porridge! Our husband and wife have not eaten rice for three days and three nights." I'm asking for help, just do me a favor...good people will be rewarded!"

The boy was impersonal, and chased people away without changing his face, "Go, go, go! Donate porridge until tomorrow! Today is gone!"

Bai Xiaoyue tightly grabbed Qian Sanshao's clothes, relentlessly, "Master, please...a bowl of rice porridge is enough..."

"Get out! Don't get out! Be careful, I will beat you with a stick!"

After all, the boy picked up the wooden stick and knocked hard on Bai Xiaoyue's back.

It was too late, but soon, Pei Yekai flashed out from the room, his strong arm firmly grasped the wooden stick raised by the servant Lun, and he sternly reprimanded: "Put it down! Dogs rely on others! Use the strong to bully the weak!"

After finishing speaking, he snatched the boy's wooden stick and threw it aside viciously.

Ye Kai...

Yu Qingyan was secretly happy.

Pei Yekai was here, he was safe and sound, and she felt a lot more at ease in her heart!

Bai Xiaoyue nodded secretly.It seems that his guess is not wrong, Pei Yekai and the others really live in Qiansan Shao's residence.

"Little man..."

The boy trembled, his tongue was tied, and even his voice trembled.He shrunk his neck, afraid to look up at Pei Yekai in fear, Wei Wei nodded desperately, "The little man knows his mistake! The little man knows his mistake!"
