Chapter 990 Blending into the Crowd
Shen Qingqian had been fed by famous chefs from Chenzhou for the past few meals, and her attention was completely focused on the food. When she suddenly received the news, she was a little reluctant to go.
"Who would want to go if they don't even offer a meal?" Shen Qingqian muttered softly.
Sheng Ze was really at a loss for words. Thinking about it, she didn't have to go, so he said, "Then you and Ling Yun should stay in the house."
Ling Yun pointed at himself in astonishment. He had to stay anyway.
Sheng Ze's eyes swept over him, and Ling Yun understood instantly. Well, the master really values the safety of the Sixth Miss. He is not even at ease with her in the Shadow Guard Division's territory and insists that he stay to protect her.
Shen Qingqian blinked and shook her head, "No need, let Lingyun go with you, I'll just wait here."
Who knows if King Zhao will detain them? One more person means more strength.
As for her, she did have some other things to do.
Sheng Ze heard this and hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Then you wait here for us to come back, and don't go out casually."
Shen Qingqian nodded quickly. He only said not to go out "casually", but she didn't go out casually. She had a mission.
After Sheng Ze and the others left, Shen Qingqian strolled around the house, and then told the guard at the back door that she wanted to buy some things for girls. The guard blushed and let her out.
Shen Qingqian was wrapped in a fur cloak, a bearskin hat on her head, and her face was wrapped several times with a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Before going out, she was worried that she would attract attention. After all, she was wrapped too tightly and people who didn't know her might think she was doing something.
But when she walked onto the street, she found that her worries were unnecessary, because in such a big city like Chenzhou, there were hardly any people on the street.
This situation is very similar to that in northern Hubei City more than a month ago, except that the situation in Chenzhou is much more serious than that in Ezhou.
Shen Qingqian walked around several streets, but apart from a few grocery stores, he didn't see a single restaurant or hotel where he could eat.
It's not that there is no door, but that the door is not open.
Shen Qingqian walked all the way to the big square outside the Chenzhou government office.
Prince Zhao's residence in Chenzhou was no longer behind the government office. Instead, he rebuilt the palace near the most prosperous street in Chenzhou.
After the crappy system came back, in addition to the daily routine sign-in, it issued a fixed-point sign-in task with a time limit of ten days. Today is the seventh day.
"How can I get in?" Shen Qingqian muttered to herself in confusion.
The task required her to stand in the lobby of the Chenzhou government office to sign in, but no one would let her in for no reason.
The lobby of the government office was where cases were heard. Even if she asked for help, she would be taken to other places in the government office.
Shen Qingqian paced back and forth in the square outside the government office to avoid frostbite from being in the low temperature for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind her.
"How can the Prince of Zhao go back on his word? We can sue him!"
"That's right! He's not an official, so we don't even need a nail board to sue him. Don't be scared, everyone, rush into the government office with me!"
"What kind of prince is this? Bah! He clearly promised to provide warm things for us people in northern Hubei, but we've waited for so many days and got nothing. Who is he trying to fool?"
"That's right, and the food we were given was all coarse grain mixed with stones."
As the noise got closer, Shen Qingqian finally heard clearly what this group of people were doing.
The group was so excited that they didn't notice there was another person outside the government office. They ran straight in and beat the drum to protest their grievances.
Shen Qingqian quickly took off his cloak and hat, and ruffled and pulled his hair, making himself look very embarrassed. Then he put two small hot cigarettes in his pocket and blended into the crowd while no one was paying attention.
