As the two were talking, the town finally came into everyone's field of vision.

The remote town is naturally not as prosperous as the county seat, so it looks extremely desolate, the dilapidated houses, and the barren paths, there are not many people, even the people who pass by occasionally are in a hurry, and they look like they are yellow and thin.

It is just a mountain away from Xizhou Mansion, and it is completely different from it!

And the most shocking thing is that in such a poor town, there are homeless people with their families begging along the streets.

Thinking of what Zhang Yinwu and Li Yao had said when they were at the inn before, Murong Qin asked suspiciously

, "Where did these homeless people come from? Could it be that the imperial court just let it go?"

Zhang Yinwu glanced at her meaningfully and said, "I think Murong Gongzi and Old Man Rong know this question better. "

Such important matters of people's livelihood have always been in the hands of the imperial court, and the excerpts in various places will be reviewed by Murong Qingyang, so this kind of thing naturally can't escape the eyes and ears of him and Rong Shilang.

"It's a villager near Yongzhou and Luozhou.

Murong Qingyang sighed, looking at these homeless people in twos and threes, a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Qin'er may not know that last year there was a locust plague in Yongzhou and Luozhou, resulting in no harvest of crops in the field, so the state government's excerpts were reported to the imperial court several times, and in just a few months, the imperial court has allocated five million taels of silver and nearly two million stone of grain, and King Ning Xinshan, who is adjacent to Luozhou, has also allocated almost 300,000 stone of grain from the domain to the two states. Therefore

, on the day of the accident, the palace said that there was an urgent matter to summon him into the palace, and he thought that something had happened to the disaster relief in Luozhou, so he would be defenseless.

"So much?" A

look of thought appeared in Murong Qin's eyes, which really added up to a lot, but at the moment the situation was not quite right, she frowned and

said, "It is said that their state capital also has a lot of surplus grain in previous years, plus the food for disaster relief, it shouldn't be in this situation, right?"

Murong Qingyang nodded and said,

"Not bad! At that time, my father also felt that things were different, so your Uncle Nan invited himself to leave Beijing and took the secret guard to Luozhou and Yongzhou to secretly investigate. "

Fortunately, he is gone, otherwise I am afraid that this exile will implicate him.

However, thinking that Mr. Nan was also here now, a wry smile welled up on Murong Qingyang's face.

After all, it's not much different from implicating him now.

So that's the case!

Murong Qin's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity.

To

be honest, although she had never seen King Ning and his person, judging from King Ning's layout, she really didn't believe that he would be so generous.

After all, Yongzhou, the capital of Luozhou, is close to Ningzhou, and if he takes the lead in subjugating here, it will be more beneficial to plan with him.

Murong Qin fell into deep thought, and although Murong Qingyang said that he had lost his position as the crown prince and no longer managed the government, he was also depressed because he saw these people displaced.

Silence all the way.

There were few residents in the town, but the arrival of Murong Qin and his party made these homeless people pay attention.

Although they are not uncommon to escort exile teams, if they had seen these officials with knives in the past, they would have hid as far as they could.

But now is different from the past, the state capital has been hit by a disaster, everyone is in danger, and in the case of starvation all day, they can no longer take care of much, so they can only focus on them.

For these outsiders' wagons must have food on them.

If you have food, you can live!

How can everyone not feel such naked eyes?

Zhang Yinwu and the other officials immediately became alert, and at the sound of an order, everyone drew their sabers and came out.

Looking at these bright big knives, there was some scruple in the eyes of the homeless, and they still didn't dare to step forward.

"Head, it seems that the situation is more serious than last time!" Li Yao said in a low voice after looking around the crowd.

The last time they came to this place, they had just been hit by a disaster, and although there were also displaced people, no one dared to fight the idea of official errands after all, but this time it was obviously different.

"Well, be careful. Zhang Yinwu's face crossed a solemn look.

I knew that it was not peaceful here, but now it seems that the situation is even worse than I thought before, the food on their car is almost exhausted because of the delay on the mountain for a few days, and they still wanted to come here to replenish supplies, but now it seems that it is very bad!

The group found an inn to settle under the eyes of everyone, perhaps because the inn has some background, seeing their group enter the inn, those homeless people finally slowly retreated, but some still do not give up, waiting for an opportunity in the potential corner.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the inn, Murong Qin noticed it.

A small inn, in which there are nearly six or seven powerful men, all armed with weapons, all of them seem to be practicing families.

The shopkeeper, who seemed to be aware of everyone's eyes and was greeting everyone, smiled at Zhang Yinwu

, "Official, you have also seen that an inconspicuous town is now in this situation, so our owner can only send some people to the town, otherwise, I am afraid that we will be eaten by them a long time ago!

This is also understandable, if it weren't for some strength, it is estimated that this place should have been robbed by those hungry homeless people a long time ago.

Although this inn is not large on the outside, there are many rooms inside, and the first floor is surrounded by large shops, and the second floor is a single room.

Fortunately, because of the disaster in Luozhou Mansion now, ordinary people will not come here at all, except for people who must be in a hurry like them, no one stays in the inn.

But it's just right, it's convenient for their 200 or so people, and this one lives in, and the eight shops are counted as firewood houses, which is just enough for the exiles.

The single rooms on the second floor were occupied by the officials, and Murong Qin also booked a few rooms, and the men and women lived separately, although it was not one room per person, but it was enough.

Because there are homeless people eyeing him, just in case, Zhang Yinwu also specially ordered two officials to go to the backyard to guard the carriage and the only remaining grain on it, after all, these are the foundation of their group's life, and there is no room for mistakes.

After two days of driving, everyone was already tired, washed away the mud all over their bodies, and Murong Qin took the Rong family to the inn hall.

Dinner was very simple, each person had a bowl of gruel with only a few grains of rice and a mixed noodle steamed bun that could not be seen, and this was the best thing they could eat.

Li Yao said with some concern, "Head, there is not much food on the car, I'm afraid we won't be able to last two days if we continue like this, why don't I go out with Chen Shan to have a look?"
