Chapter 409 Double Water Town

Shuangshui Town is not big, but in this entire area, it is already the largest and most prosperous.

Huang Zhenzhen was walking on the streets of Shuangshui Town, looking at the passers-by, feeling depressed.

The common people who came and went in the town were not well dressed, most of them were in rough linen clothes with patches one after another, so patched that the color of the clothes could hardly be seen.

The vendors were beating their stalls silently, all of them listless and not yelling.

Occasionally, a few nobles in brocade clothes and servants walked by, but Shuangshui Town seemed to be unique.

If anyone has the most people in the town, it is beggars.

Many beggars hugged each other in groups to keep warm, and painful coughing came from the group of beggars from time to time.

The town looked lifeless at first glance, if it wasn't for the many people on the street, she almost thought she had entered a ghost town.

Walking in the town, many people looked at her clothes curiously.

Huang Zhenzhen looked down at his clothes.

Although the fabric is not exquisite, it is still considered first-class.

It's just that in the state of Chu, these clothes are nothing at all.

Walking in the crowd, it will not attract any attention.

"Cough cough..."

A few bare-chested beggars surrounded her and surrounded her, all pleading and weeping.

"Sister, let's have a meal. We haven't eaten for many days, and many brothers and sisters in the family have starved to death."

"Sister, please give me something to eat. My mother is almost dying of hunger. If there is no more food, my mother will definitely starve to death again."

"Sister, my younger sister is seriously ill, please do me a favor and give me a few official documents to help my younger sister see a doctor and get her medicine."

"..."

Someone came around, and soon another group of beggars came around.

Huang Zhenzhen had three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by layers of layers, and in front of him were beggars begging with sobs.

They were like drowning people grasping at the last straw, waiting for Huang Zhenzhen to rescue them.

The whole city is almost full of beggars.

How dare Huang Zhenzhen give them alms, once the alms is given, all the beggars in the city will gather around.

What's more, she is penniless now, and her own food and accommodation have become problems.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any money or food, so I can't help you, you should go to the government."

"Girl, please do me a favor. All my sons and daughters have starved to death, and five of my grandchildren have also starved to death. Now there are only two grandchildren left. If I starve to death again... I... I will also starve to death." I can't live anymore."

"Mother... Mother, wake up, woo woo... Who will save my mother, sister, please take pity on us, please give me something to eat, and save my mother's life."

Huang Zhenzhen stretched out his mouth and covered his heart.

His mother was obviously starving to death, even if she was given food, she would not be able to survive.

The dense crowd of beggars knelt down towards her one after another.

There were even a lot of people rushing over.

Huang Zhen really wanted to leave, but he had no other choice. In the end, he could only use light work to leave these beggar groups and enter a pawn shop.

Huang Zhenzhen closed the door of the pawn shop behind his back, for fear that those beggars would rush in.

Fortunately, the beggar was just blocking the door, and had no intention of rushing in at all.

"Girl, are you here to pawn or buy something?"

The shopkeeper is about 50 years old, and he is well dressed, but the fabric is also very ordinary.

I don't know if it's been too long since I haven't done business. The shopkeeper saw her with a bright smile on his face.

Huang Zhenzhen stretched out his hand and took a jade hairpin from his head.

"How much can this hairpin be worth?"

The shopkeeper fondled the fiery red jade hairpin, and said, "The tentacles are warm and moist, the luster is surging, crystal clear, and the workmanship is exquisite. It is a good piece of jade and a good hairpin."

Huang Zhenzhen smiled slightly.

For he has vision.

This is from Gu Yuzhe, can it be worthless?

For this jade hairpin, Gu Yuzhe almost went all out with her.

In the end, Xiaochen took this jade hairpin and gave it to her, so Gu Yuzhe gave up.

She never cared about these things.

I like this jade hairpin because I see that this jade hairpin is very similar to the fairy red jade hairpin.

"How much can you give?"

The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers.

Huang Zhenzhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "5 taels?"

The shopkeeper was startled, and quickly shook his head, "Not that much."

"5000 taels?" This is too little.

At least 5 taels is still within a reasonable range.

The shopkeeper shook his head again.

"500 taels?" Huang Zhenzhen's face was extremely ugly.

This is clearly robbery.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head again.

Huang Zhenzhen gritted his teeth, "50 taels?"

"wrong."

"You won't tell me it's five taels of silver, will you?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and explained, "I can only give you five taels of silver at most."

Huang Zhenzhen snatched Yuchai back, turned around and wanted to leave.

The shopkeeper stopped her, and said helplessly, "Girl, don't be angry. The girl is from another place, she doesn't know. Now that the court is corrupt, natural disasters and man-made disasters, people all over the country can't eat. Who cares about Yuchai?" How good it is, what the common people think about is food and clothing, your jade hairpin, if you put it a few years ago, it would be no problem to be 5 taels, but now... the times are different."

"That can't be so different."

"To be honest, in Shuangshui Town, our pawn shop is considered the most reliable. No matter which pawn shop you go to, it is impossible to pawn five taels of silver."

The shopkeeper looked sad, and no longer stopped Huang Zhenzhen, but sighed hard.

"I'm a jade lover. The girl's jade can be accepted with five taels of silver. I have mustered up all my courage. Now rice is more expensive than jade."

Through the gap in the window, Huang Zhenzhen could vaguely see beggars in ragged clothes all over the street, and then looked at the annoyed expression on the shopkeeper's face, and the unhappy expression on his face was a little less.

That's right, you don't have to eat. Who cares if it's a good piece of jade, after all, you can't eat jade.

"A few years ago, didn't the people of Tianfeng Kingdom live quite well? Why can't everyone have enough food now?" She clearly saw that the people were rich and had no worries about food and clothing during the last time travelling.

The shopkeeper cleaned the table weakly, and said dully, "Hey, it's hard to say. Since that incident, the imperial court has arrested people related to them everywhere, causing panic all over the world. The government will slander whoever doesn't like you. They're a gang."

"They? Are you referring to the Yang family?"

The shopkeeper was startled, and hastily opened the door. Seeing that there was no one eavesdropping outside, he felt a little relieved and closed the door again.

"Girl, you can't say these two words. Once you say it, you will lose your head at least, or your whole family will be executed at worst."

"If people's lives are ignored like this, the court doesn't care?"

"This is the emperor's acquiescence. Who dares to control the officials in the court. But the emperor would rather kill anyone who has anything to do with them than to let them go. Over the years, the blood has gathered several rivers. "
