After traveling for days with all the drama, finally Han Wang Yue and Xing'er and the troupe almost arrived at the Qingnan border.
Before they entered Qingnan city, Han Wang Yue strategized by dividing the remaining soldiers into two groups. The first group was assigned to hide in the woods around Qingnan to ensure that help from the palace reached Qingnan and the second group was deployed to the city to keep an eye out for suspicious things.
Suan Ni and Yu Mu were assigned to secretly search the food storage barn. Meanwhile Xing'er and Han Wang Yue would enter Qingnan city and directly meet Qing Tian Lei who was the mayor of Qingnan city.
After getting the direction from the crown prince, they nodded in understanding without waiting for the second command all disbanded to carry out their respective duties.
"Xing'er," Han Wang Yue called her girl who was about to walk first.
The girl twisted her body and looked at Wang Yue, waiting for the man to say something to her.
"Remember, don't make any fuss," Han Wang Yue said giving a warning.
"I'm not a three-year-old you should always remind me of" Xing'er said.
"Alright, I won't remind you anymore .. let's go inside," Han Wang Yue led her head towards the Qingnan city gate while holding a fan in her hand.
Once they entered the city gate they were immediately greeted by a large number of traders who offered a variety of merchandise, from food to knickknacks they rent to everyone who came.
Gee.
Xing'er exclaimed with sparkling beads of eyes, she went to one by one the merchants and looked at the sales they offered.
Seeing Xing'er running around with a happy face, Han Wang Yue simply smiled as she shook her head slowly.
"Wang Yue, look at this so funny." Xing'er showed Wang Yue a small tiger-shaped wooden doll and then went elsewhere and was lured to a tanghulu sweet that looked different from where she came from.
"Uncle give me one," he asked the seller.
The seller gave Xing'er a red tanghulu. "Eh, miss you haven't paid."
"Here, just take the change," Wang Yue said giving a small silver stone.
"Thank you boss" said the merchant then shouted back to offer his merchandise.
"Everything looks fine, even they can sell various kinds of good quality food here" Wang Yue muttered inwardly.
"Wang Yue!" call Xing'er, the girl moved her palm asking that the man come before her.
"What's wrong?"
"It's good, can you buy me one?" point Xing'er at a butterfly-shaped kite.
Han Wang Yue tapped her fan on Xing'er's head.
"We're here to handle cases, not to play .. let's go."
Xing'er pursed her lips and walked beside Han Wang Yue while holding the sobbing sweet that she still had no time to eat because she was lured to the scene she had just seen.
"How do we handle fraud cases?" xing'er asked looking puzzled as Han Wang Yue had been just taking a leisurely walk since.
"You remember a few days ago I once said that the people of Qingnan admitted that they had a hard time getting food, even they never get any help from the palace but can you see the merchants here can sell a lot of food with good quality and the price is so cheap, though in this difficult season should all prices are rising," said Han Wang Yue circulating his gaze to each seller.
"You mean, this is just engineering?"
"You can say that, hey you bought sweets why not eat them?"
Xing'er raised both of her eyebrows and glanced at her mouth-watering fruit sweets, then she started eating them.
Chees.
Han Wang Yue was surprised by Xing'er's attitude which suddenly melted her food.
Han Wang Yue took the sweets and tasted them. As well as Xing'er's reaction to the sweets, she looked closely at the fruit. Damaged fruit that is deliberately given excess dye and given sugar to disguise its taste and appearance so that buyers are interested and do not feel suspicious.
"This sweet is not delicious, how can those people eat it so greedily," xing'er said remembering some people he met while on the street there who were enjoying the tanghulu sweets with a blushing face.
"Just like this sweet, the outside looks interesting but inside is rotten fruit as well as those people."
"You mean those guys are acting?"
Han Wang Yue nodded, then she pulled Xing'er's hand and took her to one of the shops selling rice.
Xing'er watched Han Wang Yue who was checking the state of the rice, and frowned her eyebrows together as Han Wang Yue looked at her with a look of astonishment.
"Boss, do you have more rice stock?" han Wang Yue asked the seller.
"Of course you have, how much do you want to buy?" ask the seller with a happy smile.
"My wife and I are newcomers here, I need some rice quintets for our stock for a year," Han Wang Yue replied embracing Xing'er's shoulder making the girl smile triumphantly.
"Well, sir, you know that in our town, despite the drought, we never ran out of rice stocks. Qingnan City is a prosperous city, so you'll never find a beggar here" the seller chuckled.
Han Wang Yue and Xing'er smiled, she gave a bag of money to the seller and then they went from there to look for two men who met him the other day.
"The rice doesn't seem to be new rice, I just had a chance to smell the smell of the rice already smelled a bit," Xing'er said.
"You're right, like the one just removed from the warehouse," Han Wang Yue replied casually.
"Oh yes, the seller said that if he had a lot of rice stock then why did the two people say if they suffered?"
Han Wang Yue sighed, she again smacked Xing'er's head slowly with her fan.
"Let's come with me." Han Wang Yue walked ahead of Xing'er.
"Wait for me," Xing'er shouted in pursuit, she was a little troubled as she chased after Han Wang Yue due to carrying a large backpack.
"I told you, you're troublesome," Han Wang Yue's lips stopped her footsteps to wait for Xing'er.
"Just look if my things are useful later, you should bend your knees at my feet" said Xing'er, who now led the way first.
Han Wang Yue again smiled faintly and continued her footsteps, but before they walked any further. Han Wang Yue told Xing'er to stop, Wang Yue who had a premonition that two people as well as the rest of the population had been exiled, re-think the idea by dirtying their clothes and faces using the ground so that their appearance now looks like a beggar.
In addition Han Wang Yue also called one of his men to guard Xing'er's bag and told Xing'er to act like a starving beggar.
"It's disgusting" Xing'er lamented with a look on her face wanting to cry.
"But you look beautiful like this," the seduced Wang Yue chuckled.
Xing'er hit Han Wang Yue's arm and followed all the directions given by the crown prince.
