Walking along the road, there were more voices soon. It should be entering the downtown.

There are many shops on the left and right sides, such as oil rice shop, ready-made clothes shop, blacksmith shop, North-South grocery

Sniff

Looking for a sweet smell, Shen Hao found a roadside stall selling oil tea. Shen Hao likes it. He can't walk as long as he smells it.

The stall owner was busy, but when he saw Shen Hao's black robe with gluttonous patterns on his chest and wild goose ridge knife at his waist, he couldn't help shaking. The smile on his face collapsed and became uneasy.

"What would you like, sir?"

Xuanqingwei's prestige is not spoken of. It has a very high deterrent to local officials and ordinary people. Even many times, this deterrent will spontaneously become a habitual fear, such as the owner of the oil tea stall.

"A bowl of oil tea is crispy and spicy." Shen Hao was used to the frightened look of the other party, so he found a small table beside the stall and sat down directly waiting to eat.

The noble old man ran to the roadside stall to eat? That's strange!

So although I was scared to death, several guests who ate oil tea at this stall didn't leave. Great stood up with a bowl and took a curious peek at the master of xuanqingwei while eating.

I have eaten with master Xuanqing Wei. This cowhide can blow for a month without getting tired!

Soon a large bowl of fragrant Camellia was brought to Shen Hao.

"Woo!"

Shen Hao's eyes lit up a bit after he took a breath.

"Yes, very authentic!"

"Hey, hey, you can eat comfortably. If it's not enough, I'll adjust another bowl for you."

Hearing Shen Hao boast that his oil tea is delicious, the boss's courage is a little bigger. Originally, Xuanqing guards generally don't deal with ordinary people. They have heard of awe or fear. Maybe this adult is very talkative?

"No, you can't eat too many good things at one go. It's best to eat with a heart."

"Yes, you have a point."

After a bowl of Camellia oleifera was eaten, Shen Hao paid the money and was about to leave, but stopped. He saw several ragged figures shrinking in the street corner not far away, looking longingly at the food on the Camellia oleifera stand.

"Beggar?"

The boss trembled and received the money that Shen Hao had forced him. When he heard the question, he glanced down and replied, "well, a bunch of slackers."

"Rascals? Are there many such people in the city? Nobody cares?" Shen Hao heard the name "rascals" for the first time, but he can understand what it means, which is similar to that of tramps and beggars.

"There are a lot of them. One or two are like local dogs. They don't look for work. They just hang around in the street. They won't starve to death by relying on the relief of the Yamen. It's very annoying."

Earth dog? Annoying?

Nodded and Shen haoruo thought.

After leaving the oil tea stall, Shen Hao didn't continue to wander, but walked straight to the rascals at the corner of the street.

As the owner of the oil tea stall said, those rascals were no different from local dogs. Seeing Shen Hao coming, they immediately retreated back into the alley and didn't know where to jump.

"I can't run." Shen Hao followed his perception like a stroll, and his feet seemed leisurely, but he was very fast.

A moment later, the two ragged guys were blocked in a dead end by Shen Hao.

"Don't be afraid. I'll ask you something."

"... big man, what's up?"

Even a bastard knows the origin of the black brocade robe and wild goose ridge knife. He was so scared that quails almost peed out.

Facing two pairs of frightened and helpless eyes, Shen Hao smiled and said, "what's your name?"

"Small, Zhao dog."

"My name is Li Wu."

Shen Hao: "Zhao Gou, Li Wu? Well, let me ask you, how long have you been in Wuyang city?"

"One year."

"Me, me too."

Shen Hao: "are there many tramps like you in that city? Do you know them all?"

"Many, at least 80 or 90 people?"

"Most of them know each other, but they may not be able to call their names."

Shen Hao: "so many people? Can you see them every day?"

"It's basically visible. Because of the curfew in the city at night, we don't dare to run around, lest we be killed by the Marquis of night patrol. Therefore, we basically spend the night in the Ci'an Hall of Yamen lane, so we can see it from time to time."

"Yes, sir, who are you looking for?"

Shen Hao said with a smile, "are there many elderly people in your group?"

"Old people? Sixty? That's not much. I remember only three or two?"

"It doesn't seem to be much."

Shen Hao: "not much? Who can find it?"

While talking, Shen Hao raised a ingot of loose silver in Yang's hand and said, "if I find someone, I'll give you a ingot of this. Do you want to do it?"

......

I went to Ci'an hall first.

"Sir, this is the Ci'an hall. It's run by the Yamen. There may be some smell in it..."

Licheng also has a Ci'an hall, which is similar to a public shelter. The environment inside is not so bad or so bad, but after there are more tramps inside, the smell is really not acceptable to ordinary people.

It's time for lunch. There are a lot of people inside. Maybe fifty or sixty people.

Glancing at the food, it is basically oil-free. It's only brown rice with some rotten vegetable leaves. You can eat half full. If you want to satisfy your craving, you're thinking too much.

The arrival of Shen Hao naturally attracted the attention of ci'antang officers, but Shen Hao didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to come up to say hello, but they were scared and waiting far away.

Before long, Li Wu and Zhao Gou came over with two old men in their sixties.

"My Lord, I found two. Hey, hey."

Shen Hao flicked his finger and two pieces of silver fell into their hands as agreed. Then he said, "just the two of them?"

"No, not only, but also, it seems that I didn't come back. Sir, you wait for me to find it now!"

I didn't expect to see silver. It was like beating chicken blood, which made Li Wu and Zhao Gou's eyes red. With silver, you can not only change food, but also go to the kiln for the night!

However, it was not only Li Wu and Zhao Gou who were anxious. The two old men who were pulled over by them were also anxious. They were still nervous and at a loss before. They could see that silver understood after hearing the dialogue.

"My Lord, who are you looking for? I've been in Wuyang city for five years. I'm familiar!"

"My Lord, I'm familiar with you. I've been in Wuyang city for more than seven years!"

Hearing the speech, Shen Hao said with a smile, "Oh? Then tell me how many tramps in Wuyang city are about your age?"

They looked at each other and thought for a while before they said, "there are only four people about our age."

"No! It's three. One didn't know what he ate last month. He took off the water and died."

Shen Hao narrowed his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "that means there is another tramp in Wuyang city who is about your age. Where is he?"
