The sick and charming prince is also acting affectionately today

Qin Hua walked out of the governor's mansion, walked slowly to the street, went around several places before reaching a restaurant, climbed over the wall and went out through the back door, and came to a small courtyard.

It was Huo Li who opened the door. The courtyard is not big, so you can forget it at a glance.

Qin Hua asked Huo Li to stay outside from the moment he entered Nanzhou, so that he could respond and move more conveniently.

After closing the door and entering, Qin Hua asked, "How's the situation?"

Huo Li: "There is no big movement at the moment. I met Mr. Xiao Su yesterday. He said that someone wanted to pour dirty water on the Yan family, but there was insufficient evidence, and there is nothing they can do now. It is the border gate. There was another battle the day before yesterday. The enemy It will be Arahhan, the number one warrior of the Red Army, and Lord Yan Xiaohou narrowly won, with many injuries on his body, he will not be able to go to the battlefield for the time being."

"Second Brother Qin from Heilongguan sent a letter saying that the situation is serious and that there might be a war. He wanted to come and pick us up, but he couldn't leave."

Qin Hua hasn't come back for three years, but she is no stranger to the battlefield, no matter how severe the situation is, she has encountered it before, and the current situation is also normal.

The soldiers stationed at the border are not afraid of death, but what threatens them this year is not the enemy, but the inferior materials.

These corrupt officials are really damned, they only think about money, and they don't care about the life and death of soldiers.

If the soldiers can't hold it, the enemy army rushes into the gate of the country, and the rivers and mountains of blood flow into rivers, can they escape?

"Old Lord Hou should have sent the booklet up, and sent back the battle report from the Ministry of War. It depends on what the court does."

Whether it can be guarded or not is a matter for the Yan family, at least the Qin family can't interfere on the surface.

"By the way, you write a letter to the second brother and ask him to find a group of people who are good at water. He needs a hundred people. If he can't leave, ask Brother Xuan to bring them here. Hurry up."

Huo Li nodded: "Okay, I'll write right away."

Qin Hua changed her clothes and went to see the old beggar from yesterday. The old man not only brought the news himself, but also brought another old beggar.

Seeing Qin Hao looking at him in surprise, the old beggar was very embarrassed: "Young man, this is my old buddy, and he knows a lot of news. We will tell you everything we know. If you think it's worth it, give it more." A meal, if it's not worth it, forget it, do you think it's okay?"

Qin Hua smiled heartily: "The old man speaks openly, and the boy has no reason to refuse. I don't know how to call the two old men?"

The old beggar first replied: "My name is Zhang Liang, and his name is Wang San. We are both from Shanggan Village outside the city. His two sons went to serve as soldiers and died in the sea. He was a widow. Later, he was forced to sell the house and hand it over to him." Tax, just come and beg for food with me."

Wang San answered angrily: "Originally, military households can be exempted from taxes, but they are forced to pay taxes, and the pension from the imperial court has never been seen. If they were not beggars, they would have been forced to death."

Qin Hua didn't answer for a while, the battlefield was tense, the army's salary dropped sharply, and the living soldiers were not treated normally, how could the dead soldiers be remembered?

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Liang quickly changed the subject: "Young man, the matter you asked me to inquire about has come to fruition. Two brothers from the north of the city said that on the night of the middle of every month, there will always be a team escorting things out of the city, one by one. You have to cover it up, it looks very heavy, and there are still water marks on the road after walking, I don’t know if it has something to do with that.”

Wang San took over the conversation: "I don't know anything about the north of the city, but I heard about a strange incident some time ago. Someone saw a silver ingot on the road, but the officers and soldiers judged that he stole it, so they arrested him and put him in jail. I haven’t heard of it being released yet.”

Zhang Liang: "The son of the Supervising Censor Zhao Shuang went to Hongyu Tower to redeem the body of an oiran some time ago, and it was a full 1000 taels of silver."

Wang San: "I heard that there was a water ghost in Chen's house before, and several maidservants were scared to death."

Zhang Liang: "The dead Governor Li kept an outhouse, on the other side of Jiuqu Lane, where Mrs. Li went to make a fuss half a year ago, and nearly beat her to death.

Zhang San: "Lord Liu, her wife had an affair with Governor Li's nephew..."

The two of you said something to each other, the content was irrelevant, but the amount of information was not usually large.

Sure enough, don't underestimate anyone.

The content was too much and too complicated, Qin Hua felt that she was running out of brains, but the two of them had their brains hollowed out, they said everything they could say, and they were afraid that Qin Hua would not be satisfied.

Qin Hua didn't say good or bad, but he made wine, cut up the meat, and gave each person a share, and gave each person a full five hundred cash, which is a lot of money for ordinary people, let alone beggars.

"Thank you both."

Get it here today.

The two got what they wanted and devoted themselves to it, not even knowing when Qin Yu left.

The two had a drink, and drank half of the jar of wine, but they were reluctant to drink the rest, and kept it in a tacit understanding.

Zhang Liang said with emotion: "This is better than eating during the Chinese New Year. I don't know when I will be able to eat next time."

Wang San kicked him angrily: "Don't hurry up, I'm still thinking about the next time, be careful and die."

That five hundred Wen is a lot of money, but if someone follows Gao Mi to go to the government, I'm afraid it will become life money.

It was only after the two of them left together that Qin Wei came out from the dark.

Although he is a beggar, the elders are wise. At the age of Zhang Liang and Wang San, even if they have no skills, they can see through the world and understand a lot.

Zhang Liang is good at seizing opportunities, while Wang San is more cautious. It is good that the two support each other.

It's a pity that she is getting older. If she was ten years younger, Qin Hao might still find a way to earn it.

The blade in her hand turned slowly, she didn't want to kill today, but she couldn't let the two old people die because of her.

The figure turned into a dark alley, and left after a while without making a sound.
-
Qin Hua changed her clothes and came out on the street. The smell of rice cakes began to waft everywhere, and the merchants and vendors began to prepare for the New Year.

Chinese New Year.

Although I was in the capital of God before, but with Sister Man Yue and Xue Ling, it is also very warm to celebrate the New Year every year.

It's also fortunate that the queen doesn't like her, so she doesn't need to go to the palace to guard.

It's hard to say this year, I'm afraid I have to celebrate the New Year in Nanzhou.

"I heard that there is another war on Mount Yao, and many people died."

"Joke, where is there an undead in a war?"

"I mean more dead than last year, too many corpses to be buried, thanks to the severe winter, hey..."

"Two of the three boys from the family next door to me died, and the only one left was saved, but both hands were broken, so it's useless."

"Hey, there are wars every year, people die every year, when will it be the end?"

……

"Young master, your pastry."

The child handed over the wrapped pastry, Qin Hua took it, and walked away slowly.

Passing by a teahouse, Qin Wei saw a white figure, and recognized Su Ziyu with just a glance.

The curtain covered half of his body, but he obviously also saw her, raised his glass to her slightly, Qin Hao smiled, turned and walked to the other side.
