I deliver food to Wanjie

Chapter 427 443. Help from colleagues 21
As soon as Huang Wanfu saw the people in front of him, he kept guessing their identities. The tall man looked like someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He had seen generals marching from afar before, and they looked like this.

He did not dare to look at the female guests for too long, but the young man, although dressed simply, had delicate facial features and the confidence he revealed when he raised his hands, which was something that an ordinary small family could not afford.

He didn't know when such a person came to the capital, but he was sure that he was not a small person like him who could be offended.

"We are businessmen. We are new to your precious land and are not very familiar with this place. We just want to learn more about it."

Zhang Yaowen ignored the other party's subtle gaze and found an excuse to ask.

When Huang Wanfu heard that he was a traveling merchant, he did not believe it. He had seen many different kinds of merchants, but those people did not have such momentum and temperament.

He guessed that this must be one of those gentlemen who came here incognito. He didn't know what had happened. Thinking of this, he replied cautiously and respectfully, "What do you want to know?"

"Waiter, can you tell me what interesting things have happened recently? No matter who is traveling from north to south, as long as the news is interesting, I will reward you." Yun Tutu looked like a dandy boy, and now the only thing missing was a fan in his hand, otherwise he could be more casual.

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know." Huang Wanfu thought for a moment and said immediately, "A big thing has happened recently. I heard that many people in Peking are fleeing. There has been a drought there for a long time, and many people have begun to leave their homes. It may not be long before they reach us.

Our shopkeeper has been worried these days. If those refugees come, given the character of the prefect, he might have to set up a porridge stall outside the city, and all the merchants here would have to follow.

But now the purchase of food is under control, and we are afraid that our restaurant will not be able to sustain itself and will have to close down.

If these people who are fleeing from famine come here, will the prefect allow them to enter the city?"

Huang Wanfu immediately felt that the latter question was a little inappropriate, and quickly added, "Everyone, if you are a merchant, don't go to Peking. It's better to go south, otherwise you will meet those refugees, which will be unsafe."

Unexpectedly, this waiter was so kind-hearted. Zhang Yaowen nodded at him and then asked, "Since there is a disaster, the court doesn't care."

Huang Wanfu glanced at the people in front of him cautiously. This question was a bit sensitive. How could a common person like him discuss it?

"I don't know about that. I'm just a waiter. I can listen to folk gossip, but I guess only the prefect has the right to discuss matters in the court."

This was said in a somewhat tactful way, and Zhang Yaowen did not blame him. Instead, he personally poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "So what sects are there now?"

"Thank you for the reward, sir." Huang Wanfu carefully took the tea and took a sip. "As for the sect you mentioned, I have never heard of it. But wasn't the White Lotus Sect wiped out? Could there be another sect that I don't know about?"

"White Lotus Sect?" Yun Tutu and the others felt that the name sounded familiar, as if it had existed in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

It can’t be such a coincidence that we have returned to history again, right?
As soon as this question came into Yuntutu's mind, Songsong refuted it, "It's enough to make a mistake once. I don't want another accident like the one that almost wiped out Daqin to happen again.

Don't worry, this is not the plane of your history, you can treat it as a parallel space."

"Then tell me, what kind of ghost is this, or is it a martial arts hero, or is it..."

It was rare for Songsong to speak, so Yuntutu quickly asked, if he was not unwilling to provide more information, why would they be here arguing with the waiter?
... "My dear gentlemen, please try not to mention the White Lotus Sect in the future. The arrest warrant was just withdrawn some time ago, and we have finally restored some peace. We dare not continue to get involved with them.

The prefect said that if you get involved with these people, all three clans will be implicated.

As for what sects there are, at least we haven’t heard of them yet. Even if there are small sects, they may have to hide themselves at this time.”

"Does the sect have any powerful martial arts?" Yuntu looked like a young man who was not very experienced in the world and was curious about everything. "Have you ever seen something flying?"

Huang Wanfu didn't quite understand what the nobleman was talking about, "Can anyone fly around?"

If he really had such ability, he would not be working as a waiter here. He would just pack his bags and go to learn from a master. Wouldn't he be successful in the future?

"Children are young and like to think out of their imaginations," Zhang Yaowen said, smiling and avoiding the topic. "I wonder if there is any new and interesting news."

Huang Wanfu also talked about some cases handled by the government, which made them more certain that the prefect was a good official, but apart from these, there was nothing else.

But they seemed to have some understanding of this plane, and now it looked like a normal ancient feudal society.

He provided several pieces of information, but seeing that the distinguished guests in front of him were not very satisfied, Huang Wanfu became a little anxious. He was still thinking about waiting for the reward from the distinguished guests.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "There is one thing that is very strange, and I don't know if it is a rumor."

Yun Tutu instantly perked up, "If you think it's weird, just tell me. I like to hear weird things."

"Someone seems to have been saying recently that there is a murderer who is very cruel. He not only kills people, but also takes revenge. I heard that the government has been investigating for a long time, but there is no news at all."

"You live in the city, don't you know? How can such a big case be just a rumor?"

"It didn't happen here. It seems to be in the city next door. We also heard about it from merchants. There are even rumors that monsters came out to eat people. I heard that everyone closed their doors and windows at night and no one dared to walk on the road."

After Huang Wanfu finished telling this story, he felt a little regretful. This young man was so curious that he would not sneak over there quietly. If he really encountered danger, he would be committing a great sin.

"But this is just a rumor. How can there be monsters in the world? If there really are monsters, I would have heard of them before."

Zhang Yaowen was wondering about the credibility of this story. "Which city is it? How far is it from here?"

Huang Wanfu, "My dear friends, I just said it casually, you can't take it seriously, and even if it is true, you can't risk your life."

"No, we're just curious, and we know places we can avoid."

Zhang Yaowen noticed the nervousness on Huang Wanfu's face, and took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it directly to him, "Go on."
