    Yuan Zhu flicked around and stopped in front of Ning Wanwan, raised her hand and grabbed the old woman's neck and twisted it, "Bang dang -" With a sound, the old woman's begging bowl fell to the ground, and the little girl following her scared Gotta cry.

    "Yuanzhu, stop!" Ning Wanwan snorted softly.

    The old woman looked like a beggar begging for food, Yuanzhu was too nervous.

    Yuan Zhu put down the old woman according to the words, the old woman coughed twice, then picked up the bowl and hugged the little girl and ran back. Ning Wanwan followed the old lady's line of sight, and saw that the alley was actually full of people's heads, and the alley was full of beggars. It is normal to have a few beggars on the street on weekdays, but it is not normal to see so many beggars all of a sudden.

    Si Zhan frowned, turned his head slightly and instructed Yuanbi beside him, "Go, find out what's going on?"

    Yuanbi led the way, and Si Zhan held Ning Wanwan and continued to walk forward slowly.

    After a while, Yuanbi came back and said in a low voice, "Those people are not beggars, they are all local people. It is only because the local famine is in trouble and the government does not release food, so they went to the streets to beg. The prefect of Ning'an City learned that the masters wanted Come, worried that they would disturb Prince Yi's Mansion, so he rushed all the refugees who were three miles away from Prince Yi's Mansion to other alleys." Yuanbi glanced at the other place calmly, and continued, "It is only under the subordinates. I've seen it when I came here, and there are indeed secret posts three miles away from Prince Yi's mansion to keep an eye on these beggars."

    "When did the people suffer from famine?" Si Zhan asked.

    "About half a year ago."

    Si Zhan nodded and said nothing.

    A few people strolled around the street for a while, and found that there were several restaurants and brothels on the street. The business was very prosperous.

    The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the road has frozen bones. It is said that this is the situation.

    After returning to the mansion, Si Zhan asked Yuanbi to go to the official mansion with his token, and there were two things: placing food and handing over taxes.

    The prefect has long heard that Si Zhan is a precious short-lived ghost. He will not live for long. After coming to Qiannan, he will never return to Biandu. He will have no future in the future. .

    Yuanbi went to Yuanbi, and he was naturally rejected by him on the grounds that he was an official of the imperial court, and everything was done according to the will of the imperial court. .

    Qiannan is the fief of Si Zhan, not a food town. The food town is a virtual seal, and the imperial court allocates a relatively equal amount of materials and money to farmers.

    The fiefs, on the other hand, have the real power to collect rents and grants, and the power is so great that they can even enact laws and dismiss and transfer local officials. Previously, because Si Zhan was in Biandu and did not reach the crown, Si Shuo took this as an excuse to take charge of Qiannan, so now the officials in Qiannan are actually people of Si Shuo, and naturally they will not obey Si Zhan.

    Si Zhan didn't seem to be disappointed at all, but ordered someone from Yuanbi to buy a lot of lime. Five days later, a banquet was held in the mansion, and officials from the prefect and the local famous gentry were invited to come to the banquet.     It's one thing to disapprove of Si Zhan, but he still needs to work on his face. After all, Si Zhan's identity is there, so after these people received the invitation, they all came.     After they came, they discovered that after they entered the gate, dozens of people in total did not even have a table or chair, not to mention tea, all of them were standing outside the second door. What kind of medicine does Zhan Hulu sell?     It was not until the last person entered Prince Yi's Mansion that the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion closed with a bang. Everyone was startled and looked at each other in dismay. At this time, the second door opened with a heavy "squeak" sound, but no one came to greet it.     Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, thinking that King Yi probably wanted them to invite them, so some people tried to go in, and others followed. After passing through the hall and going down the stairs, everyone saw that only the middle door of the five main halls on the opposite side was open, and there was a carved huanghuali wood throne inside the threshold.
