Chapter 85 Victims under the city wall

Because she was going out to play, Fan'er helped her young lady change into clothes that were convenient for her to move around. In order to avoid being too ostentatious, her makeup was also light and elegant.

When we reached the lobby on the first floor, other people had already sat in the lobby one after another and waited.

Among them, Li Ange and Wei Jue were the most excited, the light in their eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

Although Li Qian and Xiao Deyin were in a good mood, compared with the two extremely excited people, they seemed to be quite calm.

As for Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan, they stood side by side, one looked at everyone with a light smile, and the other looked at the other with a light smile.

Ziya obediently stood behind Ruan Youqing with Fan'er, although there was a hint of joy in her eyes, but because of her own status, the little girl suppressed her nature and wanted to make herself look more stable.

Erlong, as always, stood behind Gu Changan with no expression on his face, but after getting along with him for the past few days, Ruan Youqing could tell with a single look that he was at this time...maybe where did his mind wander.

Gu Changan saw that everyone had arrived, so he waved his hand to signal to start.

When I touched Shen when I went out, the sun was no longer dazzling, and there were a few warm breezes in the air.

There is a stream flowing around the city outside Wuyun City, and there is another river flowing down from the highest point in the city to the south gate of Wuyun City.

Therefore, Wuyun City is a bit more graceful and beautiful than the capital city.

There are painted boats slowly passing by on the river, and the blue waves drawn by the oars are rippling layer by layer. Weeping willows on both sides of the river gently fall on the water surface, undulating with the ripples.

On the wide road beside the river, there are all kinds of traffickers and passers-by. The wide streets and narrow alleys and stone bridges intersect each other. Looking up, there are laughter and wine shops. It makes people feel that this is a peaceful and prosperous age.

Ruan Youqing and the others gradually merged into this atmosphere. It wasn't until they came out of the Flower Goddess Temple and came to the southern part of the city by accident that the expressions of everyone changed slightly.

Under the high city wall, people in ragged clothes squatted, sat or lay crowded together.

"This is...?" Li Ange frowned slightly.

Ruan Youqing on the side looked solemn, and slowly replied: "This should be the refugees who escaped from Jingbian who were put into the city a few days ago."

"These refugees are just like this... hiding under the city wall? In Wuyun City, is there no corresponding countermeasure or place to accept refugees?" Li Qian also frowned, his tone was no longer as warm and refreshing as before, but uncharacteristically , low and somewhat gloomy.

Gu Changan had already walked over at this time, and stopped in front of a young man who seemed to be in good spirits. After a pause, he spoke slowly:

"You guys, when did you come to Wuyun City?"

The boy raised his dirty face defensively, squeezed his lips a few times, and then whispered back: "I've been here for half a month."

「What about the earliest one?」

"There is an uncle over there, who has been here for a month."

Gu Changan frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "Have you been staying here since you came here?"

Hearing this, the young man began to look a little aggrieved: "Otherwise? The most prosperous place in the city won't let us stay, so we can only come to this place."

Ruan Youqing couldn't help but asked softly at this time: "Then... have you had enough food since you came here?"

Perhaps Ruan Youqing is too gentle, she always makes people let down their guard easily. Therefore, at this time, the boy finally stopped speaking so hostilely: "It is impossible to have enough food... we can only say that we can barely survive."

At this moment, Ruan Youqing finally saw a worn-out bowl in front of the boy and the others.

"this is.."

"Every day at noon, the kind people in this city will spontaneously come over and bring us some porridge or steamed buns."

「Only people with kind hearts...Then...others...haven't you been here?」

"No."

However, as soon as they finished speaking, a group of people came over carrying something.

But when the other party saw Gu Changan and the others, they just... ran away in a flash.

"this is.."

Ruan Youqing, who has excellent eyesight, naturally saw something pushed by the other party.

It was a big bucket, and in the bucket... was cooked rice porridge.

It’s just why they are biased and they are going to run away...

Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan sneered together, and when they realized that the other was also laughing, they looked at each other in unison, and then they both saw a trace of cold sarcasm in the other's eyes.

They already knew what was going on in their hearts.

The other party Xu suddenly remembered that there were still a group of refugees in the city, and it seemed unreasonable to do nothing at all...so...then they sent someone over to deliver some meals.

In the end...I met Ruan Youqing and his party who came here.

Even ran away with a guilty conscience.

"It seems that we need to find some people." Gu Changan narrowed his eyes and looked at a certain group of people who were gradually disappearing, and opened his mouth slowly.

At this time, Li Qian also understood the trickiness, and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, since we are here to provide disaster relief, we cannot ignore this situation."

Everyone no longer had the joy they had just now, and they all nodded in agreement with gloomy faces.

Even Wei Jue did not refute Gu Changan's words.

..

Wu Yun Inspector Liao An was sitting in his mansion at this time, holding his most beloved concubine in his arms.

The young and beautiful concubine was feeding Liao An one bite at a time. There were only two people eating, but the table was full.

Just as the two were talking about each other, a servant suddenly ran in and said timidly, "Master Liao! A group of people came from outside the house!"

Liao An frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you so noisy, who can make you so timid?"

"The other party said...it was the imperial envoy..."

"What!" Liao An slammed the concubine in his arms away, ignoring the concubine's coquettish complaints, and immediately got up and walked towards the door.

"They...how come here!" Liao An asked very anxiously at this time.

「Small... I don’t even know the small...」

"Could it be... because of the disaster victims in the south of the city? Didn't they already arrange people to go there? What's the situation over there?"

「It seems that...he came back without doing anything.」

"Incompetent bungler!"

After cursing all the way, Liao An finally reached the gate of the mansion, and saw a group of people waiting at the gate at a glance.

Look at that momentum...

Liao An didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately rushed over at a trot.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness Princess Puyang, Prince Wei's son, Lord Chief Assistant..." As he spoke, Liao An was trembling and wanted to kneel down.

He shouldn't have listened to Zong Ming's words and ignored these people. Just standing there... these people are so majestic!

Gu Changan lifted his foot and took a step forward, smiling and said:

"Master Inspector knows our identities."
