The Emperor's Favorite Fenghua: Master Guoshi is a magic stick

Chapter 142 Situation in the City
And when many forces began to search for news about spirit beasts and immortals.

At this time, Zuo Qiuyao had already wandered around Yuzhou City with the invisible Linglu.

A dozen or so refugees have dispersed and returned to their homes.

They were looking forward to the heavy rain that Zuoqiu said in two days' time.

"You're being followed."

At this time, the Ice Deer Beast said in the air with a voice that only two people could hear.

Zuo Qiuyao naturally noticed that not long after entering the city, someone had been following her behind.

Zuo Qiuyao sneered, "Just let them follow."

It's hot.

Zuo Qiuyao wandered into the city for a while, and found that there were not many vendors setting up stalls on the street.Most of the relatively large restaurants are still open, but there are very few people going in and out, and some of them are used by rich people.

And on the street, there are some beggars from time to time.

They don't wear tattered clothes, but because of the drought, even if they were barely able to make ends meet, now their supplies are soaring, they can't afford to eat.

Zuo Qiuyao frowned slightly: "I'm afraid even if it rains, it won't be a temporary solution. The main thing is that the court has appropriated so much silver, but I don't know who has it in their pockets at this time."

"Then what should we do? This matter is under your control now?" Ice Deer Beast couldn't help asking.

Hearing Zuo Qiuyao's words, it always felt that her status should be very high among human beings.Coupled with her strength, it should be said that there is no enemy in this Huangling Continent.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would shoulder so many responsibilities?This is simply like the existence of the Protoss in the spirit world.Although the status is lofty, the responsibility is equally huge.

This woman has the responsibility of the gods.

"When the roots are rotten, it's not just watering. There are some things that should be pulled out... Heh, they still need to be pulled out." Zuoqiu Yao narrowed his eyes and said.

"Oops, my invisibility time limit is coming soon, and I need water now." Suddenly, the voice of the ice deer came.

Zuo Qiuyao remembered, "That tank of water just now was so full of eyes that I couldn't fit into my space. And they, a group of old and weak women and children, couldn't carry that big tank with bare hands. I forgot that you needed water for a while.

How about this, anyway, no one can see you now, how about you go out of the city to use water? "Zuo Qiuyao patted his head and said with an idea.

Ice Deer Beast thinks this plan is feasible, "Then you wait for me in the city first."

In the next second, Zuo Qiuyao felt a slight fluctuation in the air, and then the aura of Linglu disappeared.

it's gone.

But Zuo Qiuyao randomly walked into a teahouse that opened the door.

The two guards following Zuo Qiuyao looked at each other, and then stood guard at the door of the teahouse.

This woman must be crazy, she may not know the current situation, the teahouses, restaurants and restaurants in Yuzhou are completely deceitful.

That is to say, ordinary rich people may not be able to afford the things inside.

They felt that Zuo Qiuyao might be coaxed out in a short time.

After Zuo Qiuyao entered the teahouse, he looked around casually.

The waiter in the teahouse is not very enthusiastic.

It's just that he walked in front of Zuo Qiuyao helplessly and said, "Excuse me, what do you want to order, guest officer?"

"There is wine and tea. But for wine, it costs 100 taels of silver for a cup. For tea, it costs 50 taels." The shop waiter said.

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Key looked up at some of the restaurants, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Although it's a drought period, you can't just raise the price like this. 50 taels for a cup of tea? This is not even for rich people. You must bear it!"

As if he knew Zuo Qiuyao would have an opinion.

The waiter in the shop said indifferently: "If you want to drink, you can drink it, and if you don't drink it, it's fine. The poor are not entertained here. Now that the drought is so severe, do you think our water can be transported so easily? Can you afford the travel and labor costs?"

"I can understand that it's more expensive, but it's such an outrageous price. With the current situation in Yuzhou and the time when our Emperor of Dongwu Kingdom has been worrying about disaster relief, aren't you afraid of uneasy conscience when you do this?" Zuo Qiuyao sneer.

Hearing these words, the shopkeeper who was flipping the abacus at the front desk finally raised his head.He looked at Zuo Qiuyao, and then said impatiently: "I think you are here to find fault! How to set the price for this transaction is my business. I didn't force the transaction, so I need you to dictate here?
Moreover, don’t call us bad, the restaurants on this whole street are like this.Besides, do you think we want to set such a sky-high price?Do you know how much money the government has plundered from us?Huh, if you can, go to the Yamen. "

After a wave of spiritual power, the Ice Deer Beast has returned.

It looked at Zuo Qiuyao who seemed to be making trouble at this time, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." Zuo Qiuyao had already stood up at this time, she looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter and his party, and then said in a flat voice: "You are right, I really should go to the government."

As he spoke, he turned around and left the restaurant.

The shopkeeper froze, looked at Zuo Qiuyao's leaving back and remembered what she said just now, couldn't help shaking his head: "Cut, madman."

The government will not pay attention to these shabby things.

Zhou Tai is the biggest official in Yuzhou City.

But in this drought, when the whole city is chaotic, the front of his government office is clear and cold, and there is not a single commoner who goes to the government office to make trouble.

This is mainly due to the fact that a few burly yamen servants in front of the government yamen are blocking the entrance of the government yamen. They are holding law enforcement sticks and guarding them with fierce faces and cold faces.

As soon as Zuo Qiuyao approached the government office, he received unified attention.

"What are you doing?" the leading yamen servant glanced up and down at Zuo Qiuyao indifferently and asked.

Zuo Qiuyao was alone, with a slender figure, wearing a veil, and looked as intimidating as the boudoir lady.It's just that it doesn't look like finding fault, so it's something to appeal.

During the drought period, Mr. Zhou has long ignored the troubles of these refugees.There is a lot of chaos in the city every day, Mr. Zhou let himself mediate his own difficulties, how can their government manage to sort out so many messy things?

Zuo Qiuyao said, "I have something to ask Mr. Zhou for."

"Your Majesty Zhou doesn't see any guests, so go back!" The yamen servants directly refused.

Zuo Qiuyao said again: "Even if the common people have appeals, Master Zhou will not see them?"

"Nowadays there are so many people like you who make demands every day, if Mr. Zhou sees them all, what will happen to the government office?" the yamen servant sneered.

Zuoqiu Keyao's eyes flashed a bit clear, and then he asked: "A while ago, the imperial court allocated a large amount of silver and supplies, and I haven't seen any disaster relief sites in this city, can I ask Mr. Zhou about begging in the street?" There are so many people here, why don't you manage them?"
