After the discussion, everyone left the inn and wandered the streets to see if they could find any clues.

The tragic situation during the drug outbreak in the capital some time ago made Shen Qingxu think that was the suffering of the world.

But when she actually walked on the streets of Baishui County, she realized that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Now I truly experience the sufferings of the world. Outside the bustling inn, there are countless refugees.

They were pale and skinny.

Seeing that Shen Qingxu and the others were dressed neatly, they crawled, ran, and all surrounded them, begging desperately.

"Okay, give me something to eat!"

"Good man, please give us something to eat! We haven't eaten for a long time!"

"Please, kind-hearted man, give me something to eat! If there is no more food, my husband will eat my daughter in exchange for someone else's child! My little girl is only two years old! Please, kind-hearted man!"

"Please, kind-hearted man, save us!"

Shen Qingxu looked down and saw that the woman was indeed holding a baby about two years old in her arms.

But the child's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and there were even a few blue spots on his face.

Although Shen Qingxu had rarely seen dead people, she knew clearly what the green spots were.

Libido.

"Crazy woman, your daughter has been dead for a long time. If it were you, I would give her to everyone so that they can have a good meal! This would also be considered as doing a good deed for your daughter!"

Seeing that Shen Qingxu did not move, some of the beggars turned their attention to the child in the woman's arms.

When the woman heard that these people wanted to eat her child, she immediately lowered her head, ran away from the crowd in a panic, and returned to her pile of straw. She held the child tightly and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that someone would come to snatch the child from her!

Shen Qingxu felt upset, but there was nothing she could do.

The food she could give was just a drop in the bucket for this group of people. If she took out the food now, it would definitely cause a scramble among them.

How many people will die by then?

Although Shen Qingxu had been begging with the old beggar since he was a child, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Although Liangcheng is not a very wealthy town, at least no one will starve to death due to lack of food!

"You are a ghost! You are also a ghost! You are all ghosts!"

"Hahahahaha, turns out you are all ghosts!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I didn't see anything, I don't know anything!"

"Hahahaha, you are all ghosts!"

Suddenly, Shen Qingxu's attention was attracted by a crazy man at the entrance of the alley.

She squeezed through the crowd with a puzzled look on her face and looked at him intently.

This is the tall man who buried the body last night.

How could he become like this?

Could it be that she was scared because she dressed up as a ghost last night?

This shouldn't have happened. They were fine when they ran away.

And listening to his crazy talk, it seemed as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, which is why he became like this.

Shen Qingxu looked around and decided that this was not a good place to ask questions.

She grabbed the man's arm and lifted him onto her shoulder.

She was now very grateful that she had this extraordinary strength, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to get the person to the inn!

Shen Qingxu threw the tall man into the carriage in the backyard of the inn where the buried man was imprisoned.

As soon as the two men met, the tall man let out a startling scream!

"Ah! Ghost!"

Fortunately, Shen Qingxu had the foresight to cover her ears in advance, otherwise she might really have been deafened by these two people!

On the way back to the inn, she asked the secret guard to send a message to Xu Xingyi, Mu Yunzhou and Lin Shuyao, believing that the three of them would be back soon.

"Oh, you're so stupid, and you still know who he is? It's really not easy!" Shen Qingxu looked at the tall man who was so scared that he peed his pants calmly.

She had some doubts when she was outside just now.

This guy is pretending to be crazy.

Sure enough, she guessed right.

"Ghost ghost ghost, you you you you..." The tall man pointed at Shen Qingxu with trembling fingers, unable to speak for a long time.

Isn't Mo Dazhuang already dead? Why is he still here?

Or he buried it with his own hands last night!

And this 13 or 14-year-old girl in front of him, who is she? How did she guess that he was pretending to be crazy?!

"Tell me, what did you see that forced you to pretend to be crazy to save your life." Shen Qingxu crossed her arms and waited for the man to speak.

Maybe we can learn the truth from this person.

"Hahahaha, what are you talking about!"

"Hahahaha, the weather is so nice today! I'm going to play hide and seek!"

"Yes, I'm going to play hide and seek! Let's play hide and seek!"

The tall man instantly returned to his idiotic state, jumped off the carriage and ran out happily.

"Hahahaha, hide-and-seek is fun, but you can't trust me... you can't trust me, come find me!"

Shen Qingxu chased out and stopped the man who was about to run out!

"I am the current queen's biological sister, Princess Ningde. You may consider telling me!"

Shen Qingxu's words made the tall man tremble all over, and then he crawled back to Shen Qingxu, no longer pretending to be crazy.

The man in the carriage was also shocked and immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

He just fainted and heard nothing!

The tall man had no doubt that Shen Qingxu was telling the truth when she said she was a princess.

After all, the entire Daliang knows how much the current Queen cares about her younger sister!

Whoever is not afraid of death and dares to pretend to be Princess Ningde is really courting his own death!

"Your Highness, You have to help me! They want to kill me!" The tall man knelt on the ground, kowtowing with tears and snot.

"Tell me the truth in detail. If you tell even a single lie, I will chop off your head on the spot!" Shen Qingxu threatened with the power of a powerful person.

Fortunately, she thought quickly and realized that what the man said was unreliable. Who was unreliable and what did he want to convey?

She thought about it and told the man her identity, using the title of princess to scare the tall man, otherwise he would not be able to get anything out of him.

She also didn't expect that her status as a princess would be so useful!

"Your Highness, you know about the ghost story in Baishui County, right?"

"But there are no ghosts in Baishui County! It's all that rice merchant Wande who's playing tricks!"

"The purpose is to prevent the people of Baishui County from leaving Baishui County, so that he can use this opportunity to raise the price of rice!"

"I buried a person yesterday and got a tael of silver. I was thinking of buying some rice and going home to make some rice soup for my wife and children. But who would have thought that I would overhear the secret conversation between Wan De and that crazy woman! I just found out everything now!"

"In order to convince the people of Baishui County, they killed many strong laborers. That crazy woman mixed in with the crowd, finding out who wanted to get out, and then informed Wande of the news, and Wande hired someone to assassinate them!"

"Crazy woman!?"

Shen Qingxu suddenly thought of what she had seen today. The crazy woman the tall man mentioned should be the woman Shen Qingxu had just met, the one holding the dead body of her child.
