The bodyguard was surprised.

Along the way, they passed many counties. The fees for entering the city are usually a few Wen. Why do they need ten liang of silver when they get to Gangu County?

These days, two liang of silver is enough for a family of three to eat and drink for more than half a year. The Yamen asked for ten liang of silver when he opened his mouth. It's just deceiving people!

The bodyguard didn't know whether to give the money or not, so he had to look back at the prince.

Luo Qing said coldly, "give him the money."

There were eleven of them, and they gave 110 liang of silver at once.

The Yamen servant took the silver note and confirmed that the number was correct. Then he opened the gate again and urged them to come in quickly.

When the refugees saw the city gate open, they all approached this side and wanted to follow the carriage into the city.

The Yamen guards had long expected this to happen. They rushed out with knives, guns and sticks and beat several leading refugees. Others dared not approach again, but watched the city gate close again.

The city looks much cleaner than outside, and the shops on the street are neat.

They chose a nice looking inn to stay in.

Nie Changping can't sit still. He wants to go out and ask the prince if he wants to go with him?

Luo QingHan thought and nodded.

Since the prince is going, Xiao Xi, as his leg pendant, will naturally follow.

Nie Changping called the inn clerk and asked if there were any interesting places in the city?

The man kuha said, "what fun can we have in a small county like us? In the past, we could catch a fair on the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month. Now the city gate is blocked, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. Naturally, there is no market."

Nie Changping asked curiously, "Why are you blocking the city gate here?"

There was no business in the inn. The waiter was idle and bored, so he said a few more words to them.

"It wasn't the drought that caused a lot of victims to rush into the city to beg. There were several smashes and robberies, which made the people in the city panic. At the right time, the crown prince was coming to Gangu County. County magistrate Yang was afraid that too many victims would gather in the city, so he asked people to drive all the victims out of the city and lock the gate."

Hearing the words of the prince, Luo QingHan turned his eyes.

He asked, "do you all know that the prince is coming?"

The waiter leaned: "no, county magistrate Yang has long been informed that the prince is coming to stay here for a few days. In order to please the prince, he searched everywhere for delicacies and asked people to build a palace in the city. Many men in the city were caught as coolies, which made the city full of complaints."

Although the man didn't say it clearly, it can be seen from his look that he should be very dissatisfied with the coming prince.

Their life was already very sad. What else did the crown prince run out and meddle in? Isn't it messy enough?!

Luo QingHan asked, "where is the palace built?"

The man said, "it's in the east of the city. You can see it when you go out and turn left and go straight ahead."

They left the inn, walked in the direction the waiter said, and soon saw the palace.

The palace has not been built yet, but it has begun to take shape. The scale is unexpectedly large, accounting for almost a quarter of the area of Gangu County.

Countless people are sweating and carrying stones. There are many yamen guards patrolling around the palace. They should not only monitor the work of the people, but also prevent people from approaching the palace.

Luo QingHan stood not far away and quietly looked at the large-scale palace in front of him with deep eyes.

If he didn't hide his identity and sneak to Gangu County, I'm afraid he would never know what the people under him did behind his back.
