On the other hand, after leaving the Tang Mansion, Xiao Yuan also wandered around the city.

Although it is already a cold winter now, with the prosperity of Qinzhou, there are still many pedestrians in the streets, shops and business in various places are also relatively prosperous.

"Buns, freshly baked buns~~~~"

There are hawkers selling on the street, and under the cage, the heat is steaming and the fragrance is coming.

Xiao Yuan's appetite was greatly boosted and he greeted Xu Hu, and couldn't help but walk to the stall.

When the customer came to the door, the vendor immediately smiled and said, "Oh, two guests, let's see what they want, they are just released, they are hot."

"Give me a vegetable and another meat filling." Xiao Yuan pointed.

"I want ten meat stuffings." Xu Hu said immediately, looking at the steaming buns, he couldn't help swallowing.

"Haole, wait a moment." The vendor responded and began to work hard.

Soon after, the buns were packed, he also smiled and said, "Two guests, a total of twelve cents."

"Give it." Xu Hu took the bun with one hand and took out a piece of silver from his arms with the other.

"Oh, so much, please wait, I'll ask you for money."

When the vendor took the broken silver with both hands and looked for money, Xiao Yuan asked: "Boss, you vendors are trying to make a living in Qinzhou, what difficulties and injustice are there?"

"Young Master is saying..." The vendor was puzzled and asked tentatively.

"For example, are there any bullies who forcefully demand gold and silver or something?"

Hearing this, the vendor handed Xu Huqin coins and replied: "This one, it was found many years ago, but it has been gone long ago."

As he said that, he pointed at the top and said seriously: "I, Qin Fa, is the stern, who dares to be presumptuous under the rule of the king?"

"Haha, it's pretty good." Xiao Yuan smiled, and after saying that, he also took a bite of the bun, "Yeah, it tastes good."

The two left here and walked around casually. Xiao Yuan also took this opportunity to chat with all kinds of pedestrians and people as an ordinary person.

He talked about many people, including vendors, shopkeepers, and people who bought things. Overall, Qinzhou was still relatively prosperous and stable.

When he met an amiable aunt again, Xiao Yuan started chatting with him again.

The aunt was holding a basket in her hand and carrying some farm items. As she chatted, she also talked about the Qinghe River in the city.

"We are a big river in Qinzhou. In the past few years, it has nurtured many people, but now, it's just a stinky ditch. Not to mention anything else, we women just want to find a place to do laundry, but there is no place. Fortunately, it's winter now and we can't smell it. If it's summer, it's smelly!"

The aunt looked like she shook her head and sighed. The Qing River in her mouth was the river that runs through the entire city. There were many arch bridges. On both sides of the river, countless households lived, and many families were also washing clothes nearby.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but say, "Oh? I remember that city is not very clear?"

"Oh, my husband doesn't know that it was Qinghe before, and it was fine last year. But this year, it suddenly became dirty. At the beginning, I could still wash clothes. Now, the water is useless and it smells stench!" said the aunt.

"That's it..." Xiao Yuan frowned, then smiled and bowed: "Thank you, aunt, you are busy, don't bother me."

"What's the matter? You young men are so polite." The aunt replied with a smile and walked away with the basket.

After he left, Xu Hu was still stuffing a bun in his mouth and said vaguely: "Young Master, are you going to have a look?"

"Of course." Xiao Yuan glanced at him, and saw his eating habits, and couldn't help but laugh: "Can you finish eating so many buns?"

"This is not enough, it would be even better if there was wine."

With only a few buns, he could think of wine. Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Your habit of being addicted to alcohol must be corrected."

"If there is no wine, what fun is there?" Xu Hu said depressedly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but glared at him, "All men only know how to drink, and they have been drunk and causing trouble many times."

The latter shrank his neck, secretly looked at Xiao Yuan's face, and muttered: "Then, it's better to kill the villain if he doesn't let the villain drink."

Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly again.

Xu Hu is addicted to alcohol, which is his fault, but in the same way, he is also the most loyal and capable general under Xiao Yuan's command.

After a while, the two of them had arrived by the river in the city, and Xiao Yuan also climbed the arch bridge and looked down slightly.

Although it is winter, the river is not stagnant, but flows slowly, so it has not frozen.

Looking from the bridge to both sides, there are some houses and houses, and there are many laundry places by the river.

I remember when I first arrived in Qinzhou, I could see girls washing silk and washing clothes with women everywhere by the river, but now it is empty.

The river water is no longer as clear as before, and it has even turned a little darker.

Due to climate problems, Xiao Yuan did not smell the stench, but when he saw the dirty black water and the messy things in the water, he could imagine what summer would look like.

Just this, let alone washing clothes, it is estimated that when it is hot, the smell will be emitted, and few people will walk around the entire river.

In the past, wherever there was an arch bridge, it was extremely lively. Women were washing clothes under the bridge and pedestrians were walking on the bridge.

Now that I saw each other again, Xiao Yuan frowned suddenly.

"The aunt didn't lie to me. If so, how did Qinzhou City look like?"

He said, and looked up at the environment for a week. "This river extends the entire Qinzhou City, and the water that nourishes the people has turned into sewage. Such a major event has not been dealt with by the Qinzhou government, let alone reported it. It is a crime of inaccuracy!"

"Go and call Qinzhou Eng and Ye Cheng over."

"No!" Xu Hu responded first, then looked around, looking embarrassed: "But young master..."

Xiao Yuan understood what he meant. This time he came out, he only brought Xu Hu and had no other followers, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for them here, you can go and go back quickly."

"This is!" Xu Hu had no choice but to take the order and then quickly left.

This place is not too far from Wuwei Mansion, so Xu Hu went to Ye Cheng's place first.

At this time, Ye Cheng was checking the sect as usual. A soldier ran in panic, "Sir, Hu Hou is here."

"What!?" Hearing this, Ye Cheng was startled, and quickly got up and greeted him in person.

Xu Hu and Ye Cheng are both the oldest generals under Xiao Yuan's command and are very familiar with each other.

After meeting, before Ye Cheng politely greeted him, Xu Hu had already said straight to the point: "Brother Ye, the king is urgently summoning him."

"Ah!?" Ye Cheng was stunned at first, then hurriedly said: "Hurry, hurry."

"In addition, you send another soldier to inform Qinzhou to work in Lord Gong, and the king will see him."
