Chapter 23: People begging along the street

are not far away.

There were two people hiding in the grass.

Their eyes kept rolling.

"We won't be discovered, will we?" A little boy about ten years old pulled away the grass in front of him and took a look outside. Then he carefully turned around and huddled up, asking the person in front of him in a very low voice.

According to Nanxia's rules, anyone who deliberately damages other people's property will be stripped naked and whipped in public.

If it is really handled according to the laws of Nanxia, ​​who can bear it?

Thinking of this, the little boy couldn't help but wince in his eyes.

The man in front of him turned around and glared at him, "What are you afraid of? You'll find it when you find it. If you want to live a good life in the future, you have to do this."

He squinted his eyes slightly to pay attention to He Chaoci's movement, and looked at it a few more times . Then he silently withdrew his gaze.

He smiled with satisfaction and touched the arm of the little boy next to him. "Go back and report to them that you are safe. It looks like they won't be able to find us here for a while."

The little boy sniffed and wiped it. Face, "But he just said that he knew it was us."

The tall man clicked his tongue impatiently. He raised his hand and gave the little boy a shudder, "What are we and yours? The people in Hancheng are so... If you don't tell me, no one will know you did it, idiot!"

He clapped his hands and crawled forward. After he found a place to hide, he stood up and patted his clothes.

Just after the two left, Shi Yi stared sharply in the direction they left.

"Your Majesty." He glanced at He Chaoci.

He Chaoci's eyes were dark, he raised his left hand slightly and turned slightly sideways, "Go and check."

After the two left the farmland, they followed the path to a thatched house.

The man's face lit up with joy, and he took the little boy's hand and rushed forward quickly.

In the thatched house, a group of people stood or stood, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

In this room, there are people of all ages, including men, women, and children. If you look carefully, you can see that most of them are old people and children.

As soon as the man entered the room, the eyes of the people in the back room invariably focused on him.

The old man was wearing a large outer robe, covering his whole body tightly.

"How's it going?"

"You haven't been discovered, have you?"

The man picked up the broken bowl on the table and took a sip of water. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth and said carelessly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine, even if you are really caught. I found out, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

"Hu, what are you talking about?" After saying this, an old woman couldn't help but stepped forward and poked him with the stick in her hand, "The idea is for everyone. We took it together, how can I let you do it alone? "

What is incompatible with everyone is that there is an old man standing in the corner at this moment. The old man's beard has turned gray and his back is rickety, just holding the hand in his hand. Zhan, standing against the wall.

His whole body seemed to be shaking.

For a long time, he didn't know which words from other people touched his nerves.

He turned around suddenly and banged the support on the ground with both hands. For a moment, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at him.

"Your Majesty came to Hancheng on behalf of the Emperor. Aren't you afraid of chilling their hearts by doing this?" The old man kept shaking his head, his face full of disappointment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others started to make a fuss.

"Why didn't you say anything when you made up your mind?"

"What do you mean by coming out now?"

"Don't think that because you are the oldest here, you can accuse us from the moral high ground. No one is better than anyone else. Where are you going?"

Hu Sanbao hurried forward and calmed everyone with a naive smile. "Don't get excited. Just listen to what I say."

He walked slowly to the old man and knelt down with a bang.

Others wanted to reach out to help, but Hu Sanbao waved his hand directly.

He looked at the person in front of him intently, "Mr. Li, you just said that he was sent by the imperial court to congratulate Chao Ci, and he represents the royal family. They are used to being pampered. Do you think they will really stand by us?" Are you thinking about us?"

He took a deep breath, exhaling white air every time he spoke, "On the surface, it seems that they are thinking about us, and they are distributing food and building houses. But how long can this last?"

Li Guanghai didn't want to look at him at all, and tilted his head to the side, "You are making excuses!"

"Hu, get up, don't talk to him anymore, he is just a stubborn person." He knows the benefits of doing this."

Hu Sanbao was pulled up.

He turned sideways and glanced at himself, who was still standing, couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head slightly.

That’s all.

The group of people pulled Hu Sanbao to the middle and put some distance between themselves and Li Guanghai.

"I heard that the prince has issued an order to let us live in the county government office?"

"Yes, that's right. They say they should keep an eye on the elderly and children first, but aren't they just keeping a close eye on us as a group?" "You will

still have to stay in the county government office." I’ve never been to the county government office, and I don’t know what it looks like inside, but it’s definitely better than here.” The speaker glanced around.

Suddenly everyone burst out laughing.

Li Guanghai in the corner raised his head and sighed, what a sin!

Not everyone in Hancheng City is a refugee, there are also people who are already living a good life.

They often have a little money in their hands and a surplus of food at home. For example, some families whose houses have been shaky and dilapidated for many years have collapsed this year.

As a result, some people have no shelter or food to eat.

They had no choice but to beg on the streets. They had accidentally learned that going to the capital was the best way to beg.

But after going there, I discovered that they were all the same, and they were sent back a few days later.

And they are the ones who have to beg on the streets.

As long as He Chaoci's work is hindered, he can stay here forever. In this way, they will not have to worry about food, drink and clothing.

An hour later.

He Chaoci tapped his fingers on the table, seeming to be thinking about something.

At this moment.

"Your Majesty, the county government has made arrangements, and everyone can move in at any time." Feng Dasheng trotted in and reported loudly.

He Chaoci opened his mouth slightly and stood up, "Let's go."

Outside the county government office.

There were already two lines of people voluntarily lining up on both sides of the county government office.

"Get out of the way! Your Majesty, this one really can't stand the cold weather. Let's go in and take shelter first." Hu Sanbao's face was red, he kept rubbing his hands, and he was always paying attention to the people around him. .

What he didn't notice was that less than one meter away from him, Shi Yizheng walked out with an ugly expression.

He quickly walked over to He Chaoci and whispered something in his ear.

He Chaoci couldn't help but look up at him, and Shi Yi nodded heavily with a resolute face.
