Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 173 This Person Is So Similar To Prince Zhuang?

The next day, Li Hongxiong took several soldiers to inspect Qingshui County.

Generally speaking, the county is relatively stable. Except for the slightly higher prices, there is nothing wrong with it.

Not even a few refugees were seen.

However, he didn't believe that Zhou Zhi managed Qingshui County so well. After all, after so many years of getting along with him, he knew Zhou Zhi to some extent. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was still of some use now, he would have found a way to punish him long ago to avoid harming himself.

"Go and have a look outside the city."

Immediately, Li Hongxiong looked at the soldiers driving and gave instructions.

Soon, the soldiers took Li Hongxiong to the south gate of the county.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Hongxiong suddenly shouted, and the soldier hurriedly stopped the car.

At this time, Li Hongxiong got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of the city wall, followed closely by the soldiers.

"Have you heard? There was an incident at the ruined temple yesterday. It seems that the group of refugees beat up the officials, and many people died."

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. I saw the county master's brother-in-law in the hospital today. His hands and feet were crippled. It was so miserable."

"Let me tell you! There is no other way. If you can have a full meal, who would be willing to fight with the officials?"

"Well, we seem to have done some business and still have money to buy food, but these farmers are in a miserable situation. They don't have much money, so they can only gnaw tree bark."

"I hope this disaster will pass soon. Now the price of food in the city has increased by 10%. If this continues, we may not be able to afford food."

"I have to say that this leader is really brave. Most people wouldn't dare to do this."

Near the city gate, many businessmen or young men from aristocratic families gathered together. They all looked at the wanted notices on the city wall and started talking in low voices.

"Give way, give way!"

"Who!"

A loud voice suddenly came from behind, and everyone shouted impatiently, but when they turned around and saw a group of soldiers in official uniforms coming over, their original bad mood immediately disappeared, and then they retreated to both sides. , making way for the road.

The leading guard walked up to Li Hongxiong, lowered his head and said, "Sir, you can come over."

Li Hongxiong walked straight into the crowd, walked towards the wanted notice posted on the city wall, and then looked at the man on the wanted notice in the middle. Looking at the appearance of the man on the notice, his shrewd eyes narrowed subconsciously, and he was surprised: "This man is somewhat similar to Prince Zhuang?!"

Although he knew that Prince Zhuang would never come to Huzhou, he was still a little shocked when he saw someone so similar to him.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Hongxiong turned away from the crowd, returned to the carriage, and then said to the soldiers below: "Now go and help me investigate the temple destruction yesterday. It is best to kill all the criminals on the notice." Investigate clearly."

"yes."

After the soldiers left, Li Hongxiong ordered his men to drive to the ruined temple where porridge was being given, intending to go there to see if Zhou Zhi had followed his instructions.

However, he was a little curious about the man who looked very similar to Prince Zhuang on the notice, and even wanted to meet him on the spot.

If the other party is good in all aspects, he can consider taking the other party back to Kyoto.

....

Tanjiang Village.

Liu Yun walked into the room and whispered: "Sir, Qingshui County has issued a notice and is sending people to arrest us."

Gu Chen had already guessed this. After all, many government officials did die yesterday. Then he nodded and asked, "Is there any other news?"

Liu Yundao: "Qingshui County has set up three more soup kitchens today in the east, west and north. The attitude is much gentler than before. Many refugees will now go there to beg for rice."

Gu Chen frowned.

The magistrate of Qingshui County should not be so kind. He only cares about whether his own pocket is big enough, but not about the life and death of the refugees.

It was probably the idea of ​​the person in charge of the household department to set up porridge points now.

However, Li Hongxiong probably wouldn't be able to carry this rice for long, and they would probably get a share of this batch of food.

Gu Chen said: "Liu Yun, go and investigate how many grain stores there are in Qingshui County now, and write down the locations of these grain stores."

"Well, I'll take someone to do it right now."

After Liu Yun left, Gu Chen also got up and left the room.

His plan was simple.

Now all the grain shops in Qingshui County make almost all money from dirty money, and most of them are shipped by the Qingshui County magistrate and some officials from other places, so there must be a lot of food.

Rather than letting these guys make a fortune out of the country, it would be better to cut off their own money.

"Brother, brother, my grandpa asked me to come over and tell you to go to dinner!"

At this moment, a sweet sound like a copper bell came. I turned around and saw a little girl running towards Gu Chen. She refused to stop until she was in front of him. She raised her head panting. "Brother, it's time to eat. I'll come with you."

Gu Chen smiled gently, nodded and said, "Okay."

The girl is none other than Gouzi, the granddaughter of the old village chief.

On the way back to the village chief's house, Xiaozizi looked up at the tall Gu Chen beside him and asked curiously: "Brother, are you from the city?"

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who told you?"

Coyotito smiled confidently and said, "I guessed it myself! Your clothes are so beautiful. I only saw other people wearing them in the county. My grandfather told me that clothes like yours can be changed." Over a hundred eggs.”

Gu Chen was amused by the other person and couldn't help but wipe the other person's little head. "How about I take you to buy some beautiful new clothes when you are free some other time?"

"real?"

Coyotito blinked and his eyes lit up instantly.

Gu Chen nodded, "Of course."

But at this time, the original joy on Xiaozizi's face disappeared, and he slowly shook his head, "Brother, I still don't want it. My grandpa said that beautiful clothes are expensive, and I will definitely get them stained by me. , I can’t spend my brother’s money carelessly.”

Gu Chen smiled and did not answer her question.

A person's cognition has a great relationship with the environment in which she lives.

Just like Zhang Yuanyuan, the daughter of Kaishanshan, the prefect of Kyoto, she is probably about the same age as Coyotito. Although her character is also very innocent, she has a certain understanding of clothes, jewelry, ritual music, and money. The things she has seen are not comparable to Coyotito. of.

Xiaoxiaozi has been growing up in a small place like Tanjiang Village. Apart from knowing some common sense things about farm tools, livestock, and rice fields, he probably doesn't know much about other aspects. Moreover, women from rural families do not have the opportunity to attend private schools, and their educational level is also limited.

The reason why she doesn't want to buy bright clothes is not because she doesn't like them, but because her environment since childhood told her that such clothes are not suitable for her.
