After returning to the mansion, the prefect of Fuzhou and several officials, the servants hurriedly brought up the dinner.After a while, big fish and meat, delicacies from mountains and seas were placed on the table.

"Hahahaha..." As soon as he was seated, an official laughed wantonly, "Master Zhifu, don't worry this time, His Royal Highness is nothing to be afraid of."

"Haha, what I didn't expect was that His Royal Highness is still a broken sleeve." An official said with a bit of wretchedness on his face, "He looks at Yong'an Hou-tsk tsk..."

Although the prefect of Fuzhou believed [-]% of the time, he still felt a little strange and reminded his colleagues on the same boat, "Be careful when sailing for thousands of years, don't be careless."

"Your Excellency said so." Another official agreed very much, "Tomorrow, His Highness the Crown Prince will only let Marquis Yong'an go with us to distribute the supplies, will it be fraudulent?"

An official said, "What's the problem? If your lord still doesn't believe the prince, just keep sending people to watch him before leaving tomorrow."

"En." The prefect of Fuzhou nodded, and then asked, "Is everything ready for tomorrow?"

The official who arranged the matter said, "The preparations have been made long ago. Those untouchables will not dare to come if they are intimidated a little, not to mention that the ordinary people who come will replace our people."

The prefect of Fuzhou once again ordered, "Don't let the fish slip through the net, let Shen Qingzhi see what it is!"

"Don't worry, my lord." The official said confidently, "Even if there are untouchables who dare to come, I will let them go without returning!"

"I sent someone to check it out. The supplies this time are much more than before." An official seemed to be filling his own pockets, with a greedy look in his eyes.

When he said this, the other officials, including the Fuzhou prefect, all had self-evident smiles on their faces.

The magistrate of Fuzhou touched his proud chin, "As long as we get through this hurdle, the benefits of all the adults here will naturally be indispensable."

"My lord, I would like to offer you a glass." An official immediately poured his wine and stood up, flattering the prefect of Fuzhou, and said, "It is my good fortune to be able to follow your lord."

Other officials followed suit and raised their glasses to stand up, "Your Excellency, I also offer a toast."

The prefect of Fuzhou raised his wine glass, "Come on, wish us success this time!"

……

On the second day, Shen Qingzhi couldn't wait to distribute supplies with the prefect of Fuzhou who came to the inn to meet them.

An Shaoyun naturally sent most of the guards to follow, and he invited the brothel girl again, so that the guards who had pretended to be him before continued to dress up like him.Then he changed into plain clothes and sneaked out of the inn from the eaves with a few guards.

Standing on the roof, you can see everything below, and even saw a few sneaky people hiding in the corner outside the inn and staring.

An Shaoyun smiled coldly, the prefect of Fuzhou was really suspicious, and he couldn't be trusted.

At this time, the doors and houses on the street were closed, and it seemed very depressed. I don't know if it was notified to go to the place where the supplies were distributed.

"His Royal Highness, look!" After running on the eaves for nearly half an hour, he didn't find any ordinary people, and finally saw a thin old man by a well, shaking his back tremblingly to the water.

"Go down and have a look."

"Yes!"

An Shaoyun jumped down, and when he was about to approach the old man, the other party seemed to hear the voice, and turned around to see them showing terrified expressions, leaving behind the muddy water that had just been shaken, turning around and about to run away.

The guards quickly stepped forward to stop them.

The old man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, it's because Caomin's daughter-in-law needs this water after giving birth, so Caomin can't ask for some!"

After hearing what he said, An Shaoyun knew there must be something inside, and stepped forward to help the old man, "Get up."

"Ah?" The old man was inconceivable that he wasn't arrested, but he had an outstanding appearance and an extraordinary bearing between his brows, not like an ordinary person.

An Shaoyun asked, "If you need water, why are you so worried? What's more, the water is so turbid, how can it be used for production?"

The old man understood that these people were not arresting him, and the accent might be passing outsiders, and he might not be able to help himself, so he sighed heavily, and turned back to shake the water again.

"I'm asking you something!" Seeing that he didn't answer, the guard raised his sword to his neck.

"Stop!" An Shaoyun snapped, "Don't hurt anyone!"

"Yes!" The guards quickly withdrew their swords.

Seeing that he would not hurt himself, the old man kindly persuaded him, "If your lord is just passing by, don't be curious and meddle in your own business! It's better to leave as soon as possible!"

An Shaoyun saw his difficulty and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, old man, just tell me what happened?"

"This..." The old man still hesitated, as if he was afraid to speak because he was threatened.

"Old man." An Shaoyun had no choice but to bring up the topic first, "As far as I know, the government distributed relief supplies today, why didn't you go to collect them?"

"Where is it our turn? Every time we look forward to it, we get nothing but disappointment." The old man shook his head and smiled wryly, finally letting go.

"What do you mean?" An Shaoyun faintly guessed that it was consistent with his own judgment, hoping to get the answer to confirm.

Seeing the lord's repeated questioning, the old man couldn't help asking, "My lord...can you help me?"

An Shaoyun promised, "As long as you have nothing to hide, tell me everything."

"This is not a place to talk." The old man's heart was moved, he looked around very carefully, and then led the way, "My lord, please follow me."
