Chapter 454

All morning and noon, Xia Qingyang was busy leading people around looking for food.

Anyway, the louder the noise, the better.

By the afternoon, almost everyone in the city knew that the eldest princess's food had been stolen, and she could no longer make porridge or flour.

This is possible! ?
It's like falling from heaven to hell.The sad thing is not being in hell, but being in heaven.

This is how the people of Luoshu City feel now.

And the most uncomfortable thing is actually those people who haven't received white noodles yesterday——

Due to the large number of households in the city, the noodles are divided into two groups: the east of the city and the west of the city.

Yesterday, people in the east of the city were sent to people in the west of the city.

As a result, the noodles were stolen overnight, and the people in the west of the city must be dissatisfied.

Of course, the so-called "large number of households" was just an excuse to the outside world. In essence, it was to create such an effect that Xia Qingyang organized a two-day meeting.

After all, don't worry about scarcity but inequality, this is the same truth through the ages.

Sure enough, most of the people who followed the yamen team to look for food in the streets that day were people living in the west of the city.

"Good man, you should take a rest too. Well, we chipped in and bought you some Poria cocos pancakes and sesame paste. Would you like to eat some before looking?"

Some people came to Xia Qingyang with snacks. Xia Qingyang quickly thanked them, and then borrowed the table from the nearby tea stand to invite everyone to sit down and eat together.

That being said, the time seems to be running out.President Hua should take action.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xia Qingyang heard someone on the street yelling "It's not good" while running this way.

"Oh, my heart, I can't even hear the word 'bad' now." The common people sitting beside Xia Qingyang complained while holding their hearts.

"What happened?" Xia Qingyang leaned forward to stop the person from asking.

"Good man, you are here." The man squatted down, pointed behind and said, "Go and have a look, there is a house flooded over there! Many people have gone to help, and I heard that someone saw it inside. It's full of rice, flour and food, maybe it's the ones that were stolen!"

"What?!" The people's reaction was even greater than Xia Qingyang's, "Let's go and have a look."

As they said that, two commoners stuffed the Poria cocos cake in their mouths, picked up Xia Qingyang from left to right, and ran away.

Xia Qingyang: Hey hey——
-
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the water was running, they saw that there were enough people busy fighting the fire, and the people who came with Xia Qingyang did not go up to make trouble.

Instead, they got together and talked about the owner of the yard—who is that damn grain thief.

"By the way, this yard seems to belong to the blacksmith old Li's house?"

"No, Lao Li hasn't lived here for a long time. I heard that this place was requisitioned by the city lord yesterday afternoon, for those officials from the capital to live in."

"Ah, then Zuo Cheng and the others are alright inside?"

"It should be fine. I just heard from the people fighting the fire next to me that the fire was in the backyard wing. The people who lived in the front yard ran out when they found out about the fire."

"That's okay, that's okay. No, if it's really food that's on fire inside, it can't be the food stolen by those officials."

"It's not impossible! Except for officials who are good at martial arts, do you think any of us ordinary people have the ability to knock out two good people and transport so much food in a few hours?"

"That's right, those officials have a bad temper. I heard that they beat the hungry people at the gate of the city the night before yesterday. They said that food should be provided to more important people, and they said they came into the city. It is because there is not enough food for the march, and we have to take food away from us."

"Why does he have such a big face? Now who has leftover food for him, we all eat wild vegetables ourselves."

"So, didn't he spot the food donated by the eldest princess? If he didn't run away, they must have stolen it."

"Fuck, why don't you leave a way for people to survive? Let me tell you, if I'm about to die, I'm sure I'll find a way to drag these dog officials to die together. Just watch!"

"Hey, look, that coach Xu is here! The city lord and the eldest princess are also here."

"Okay, the eldest princess will definitely be able to comment for everyone!"

Xia Qingyang quietly listened to the people's conversations with suppressed volume, knowing that the past two days were not in vain.

As for the performance effect of the second half of this scene, it depends on the next one.

The fire was finally extinguished.

People covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, walked into the backyard wing room that was still smoking, and took a look, these unburned, what is it if it is not food? !

"How do I know where these things come from? If I really want to ask, I have to ask the original owner of the house, right?" Teacher Xu was furious.

How could he not hear these people muttering about him.

But he really didn't know anything about it.

"Master Xu, this...before the house was given to you, I personally took the yamen guards to see it, and made sure that there are no such things in the wing..." Fan Xiyue said in a lower voice.

Ren Yi patted Fan Xi on the shoulder, as if to give him confidence: "Coach Xu, can you give me an explanation?"

"I didn't do anything, how can I explain it." When facing Ren Yi, Coach Xu still restrained his temper a little bit.

But immediately, the anger in his heart was stirred up by the people's gossip——

"What, the physical evidence is still there, and you are still quibbling."

"That's right, I've seen the food bags of good people, which are exactly the same as the unburned ones inside."

"If it hadn't just happened to be out of water, they would have succeeded. After all, who would dare to check where the official lives?"

"God open your eyes."

Coach Xu was about to explode.

But he couldn't find who was talking nonsense at all.There were too many people watching, and everyone was looking at him with contempt and anger.

"By the way, the Yin family can prove it. You ask him, did we leave this courtyard yesterday?!"

Coach Xu turned his head and went to find Yin Zuocheng and Mrs. Zuocheng who were resting beside them——

Mrs. Zuo Cheng woke up this morning.Empress Yin came over to take a look, and then concentrated on preparing the medicine for the mayor's wife.

At this moment, Yin Zuocheng supported the weak Mrs. Zuocheng, lowered his eyes and said: "Before going to bed last night, Coach Xu and the officials did not go out."

Coach Xu: "Look!"

Yin Zuocheng raised his eyelids: "But around midnight, the old man fell asleep. I don't know what happened from midnight to this morning."

Coach Xu: "You!"

Standing in the crowd, Xia Qingyang smiled when he heard this, thinking that Yin Zuocheng's reaction was fast enough.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she turned her head and winked at an alley on the side of the street.

Next to the burning courtyard is a two-story ready-to-wear store.

Ten seconds later, three men in black suddenly flew down from the clothing store.

Amidst the people's exclamation, two men in black, one grabbed Yin Zuocheng and the other picked up Zuocheng's wife, and they were about to fly away.

Instructor Xu reacted very quickly and immediately drew out his knife: "Someone wants to rob prisoners! Stop them!"
