Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 226 Chasing the Wrong Way (1)

On the way chasing Pei Yuzhang all the way to Yun County, all Zhuo Han saw were dead trees, dry and cracked fields, and under the scorching sun, all the clothes of the group were drenched in sweat.

"Head, it stands to reason that the princess doesn't have horses, so he wouldn't be able to walk so fast. A few hours' journey will be the most affluent county in Yun County." Zhuo Han's guard wiped his forehead. Sweat, puzzled.

"The princess can escape from under our noses, she will definitely not go according to common sense. At this moment, I don't know if the princess has gone to Yun County, but no matter what, we have to go. If the princess doesn't go, We will immediately turn back and go to Nanman, I hope the princess will not show up in Yunjun."

Zhuo Han thought for a moment, then replied in a deep voice.

When I arrived in Yi County, the streets were very lively, and there were long queues in front of every rice shop.

Zhang Han slowed down, pulled the horse and walked slowly along the street, while looking at the people queuing up, among them were rich, dignitaries, and common people. From the chapped lips of the people, it can be seen that the drought in Yun County is indeed serious. very serious.

He originally thought that the disaster near Yujing was considered serious, but now it seems that it is just that the people can use less water on weekdays, at least the larger rivers have not dried up, but Yun County does not even have water for eating and drinking .

After watching for a while, he stopped, and made a look at a guard behind him. The guard immediately understood, pulled a commoner and asked, "Old man, do you know which county the imperial envoy is in now?"

"I'm still in Qixian County. I was going to come to our Yixian County, but I heard from them that the adults will stay there to solve the fire at the prime minister's house in Qixian County. You see, it's not good for the merchants in Yixian County. Selling the surplus grain in Jiang’s treasury, I’m afraid that once the imperial envoys bring people here, they will let them help the people for free!”

While speaking, the old man took two steps forward with the team, always staring at the dwindling amount of rice in the big vat.

Seeing this, Zhuo Han walked up to the old man, frowned and said, "If you don't buy their rice, they won't be able to sell it. When the imperial envoy arrives, wouldn't you still want to use it to help the people?"

"Young man, you don't know something. If we don't buy it, these wealthy businessmen will buy it all. You see, I came to line up before dawn, and I don't know if I can buy rice. Although there is grain distributed above, you can How can I survive this year with that little food!" The old man choked up when he said this, rolled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears.

At this time, the crowd became commotion, and a group of servants came, shouting "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" and walked straight to the front of the team.

Seeing this, the old man was immediately discouraged, shook his head and sighed, and walked out of the team. The people in front of him also looked angry and dared not speak up, and dispersed in all directions.

Zhuo Han didn't know why they dispersed, he immediately grabbed the old man and asked, "Old man, it's your turn soon, why did you leave?"

The old man pointed to the servants, "Look at their clothes. They are servants of a big family in Yi County. They are either rich or expensive. There was a young man the day before yesterday. A group of thugs beat them to death, and his mother was also starved to death because of this. We ordinary people have no power and power, how can we beat them, we have to get up early tomorrow, and come back in line."
