Zhao Luoyang had several guesses as to how the fire in Huangjiazhuang started.

Zhao Luoyang said: "The fire was either deliberately set by the people who were in Zhuangzi that day, or it was accidentally set on fire."

It's nothing more than these two situations.

Shi Jiu said: "If you set a fire deliberately, it might be to burn people to death, or to burn away some clues so that no one would come to check."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Ah Shu escaped. When I saw Ah Shu, I didn't find any obvious burns."

Shi Jiu said: "Maybe there is someone else who wants to be burned?"

The two of them thought about it carefully and thought of another situation almost at the same time.

Zhao Luoyang said: "If the clothes on the Huangjiazhuangzi belong to Ah Shu, then Ah Shu has been to the Huangjiazhuangzi. How did she run from the Zhuangzi to the village?"

Shi Jiu said: "Could the fire be set to attract attention? If Zhuangzi suddenly catches fire, there will definitely be chaos. Maybe we can take advantage of the chaos."

Zhao Luoyang thought it was very possible, and it could at least explain why Ah Shu was able to escape to the village with injuries.

But these are just guesses.

"The Liu family is following." Shi Jiu's reminding voice came.

Zhao Luoyang also looked around from time to time, but he didn't notice it, so Shi Jiu was much sharper than her in this aspect.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Do you think the Liu family is here for the ermine skin, or do they want to get information from us?"

"All of them!" Shi Jiu said, "The people from the Liu family who can follow Miss Bai family should be the most capable people around Uncle Liu. What you just deliberately reminded Miss Bai family must have made him suspicious, or maybe the Liu family is getting help

When I learned that Ah Shu's body was found in Fengxia Village, I made a plan to find out the news from the people in the village."

Zhao Luoyang finally gave the Liu family several reasons to follow them.

It won't be certain who will ask whom for information at that time.

After the two people finished talking, Zhao Luoyang took another look at her charm points. She talked to her three younger brothers in the morning and gained a wave of charm points. Later, Shi Ping came and gave her 4 points of charm points.

These are commonplace.

What makes Zhao Luoyang happy is that she once again saw the charm value of the character card increase in the charm value details.

After Zhao Jingyun completed her mission, Zhao Jingyun and Ding Rong no longer doubled her charm points.

Now that new tasks are unlocked, the charm value of the character card is back.

[Character card charm value +4]

This charm value comes from Bai Yuwei.

Zhao Luoyang stayed on the charm value details page for a long time.

Shi Jiu asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "There are hundreds of people in the village, right? Are they all related to the character card?"

It turned out that this was what she was thinking.

Shi Jiu said: "You can try it slowly."

That being said, the sooner you go to the village, the better.

"Bai Yuwei just said that the village will ask Liu's shop to sell a lot of sheepskins. I never thought before that the Xibo people who came to Taozhou should be proficient in raising livestock, otherwise they would not live in such a remote place."

Zhao Luoyang felt that the skills she learned from Mr. Zheng might be useful.

In addition, there are also those veterinary medicines in the exchange area. Once they are done, they will be useful again.

The donkey cart moves forward slowly.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Let's see if I can exchange my charm points for some information."

Shi Jiu knew what Zhao Luoyang wanted. Since he mentioned silver rat skin, he would try to expand the wealth value exchange area through charm value exchange.

Finally, the two of them found a book called "Records of Experiences" and saw that the introduction was written by a scholar. It recorded experiences near the northwest. He was walking around with a hunter, and most of the book contained descriptions of wild animals in the mountains.

Including the county records that Zhao Luoyang wanted to exchange before, a total of 35 charm points were spent.

Zhao Luoyang doesn't need to look at the price now, since the charm is enough to be useful.

There was no need to do anything else on the donkey cart. Zhao Luoyang read the "Record of Experiences" first. In fact, she didn't care whether there was ermine skin in the exchange area.

She has the final say on what she has in her hands.

After reading "The Record of Experiences", there was indeed movement in the wealth value exchange area.

New redemption items are listed there.

Rabbit skin: 7 yuan/piece or 1 health point

Rat skin: 90 yuan/piece or 6 health points

Deerskin: 800 yuan/piece or 28 health points

Mink skin (random): 680 yuan/piece or 21 health points

Cowhide consumption: 400 yuan/piece or 17 health points

Toad (dried): 140 yuan/2 taels or 9 health points

Viper (dry): 175 yuan/2 taels or 10 health points

Kingfisher feather (imitation): 130 yuan/50 pieces or 9 health points

The quantities of these new items are all marked with the remaining 999 items.

There are a lot of things, but there really is no ermine.

However, there is always a kind of fur that is suitable for sale in Liu's shop. After she inquires about the price, she will decide what to sell it in exchange for. In exchange for the money, she can buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

"Enter the city."

Zhao Xuejing's voice came, Zhao Luoyang raised his head and looked forward, and sure enough he saw the city gate not far away.

"There are no more refugees," Zhao Xuejing said. "When we entered the city before, there were still many people begging here."

Needless to say, Mr. Zhao must have arranged for those people after he returned to the government office.

"Let's go to the West Market," Zhao Xuejing said, "there are many shops there."

Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji looked around curiously, and they sat in the car and muttered.

"There seem to be more people than in Min County."

"However, the surrounding houses don't seem to be as good as Minxian."

"Sister, look over there, what are so many people doing?"

Zhao Luoyang followed Zhao Yuanrang's gaze and looked over: There were several sheds in front of the crowd, and someone squeezed over from the shed, holding a broken bowl in his hand. There was heat wafting from the bowl.

Zhao Luoyang said: "It should be a porridge shed set up by the imperial court for the refugees."

Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji thought of the twists and turns along the way. They had also eaten the rice grains distributed by the court in Didian, but now they have a village to stay in, their own house, and enough to eat every day, which is worse than these refugees.

much better.

Zhao Yuanji said: "What will they do next?"

"They may be allowed to return to their place of origin, or find a place to settle down," Zhao Xuejing pulled the donkey cart, "but refugees are different from emigrants. I heard that they are allocated very little land, and they may not be able to become farmers."

Taozhou must first resettle the relocated people and then take care of these refugees. In such cold weather, many people will definitely not be able to survive the winter.

"The city wall in Taozhou is taller," Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said, "Is it because there are always wars? But there are indeed more people coming and going in the city than in Min County."

When the donkey cart stopped, Zhao Xuejing drove the cart to the livestock shed, gave the steward 10 pieces of silver, and took the three siblings all the way to the West Market.

Zhao Luoyang held the bamboo basket in his arms and walked in front.

"Sister," Zhao Yuanrang didn't know what was in her bamboo basket, "do you really have something to sell?"

Zhao Luoyang shook his head: "Let's see and then talk."

It seems that it really exists.

"When people asked," Zhao Luoyang said, "they said they were Nai's old clothes. Nai was afraid that we would be cold, so she brought them specially for them."

Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji nodded seriously.

Little did they know that as soon as they left, Mrs. Yang rummaged through the boxes and cabinets looking for her patched-up clothes. Where did that piece of clothes go?

There are obviously more people in the West Market.

Zhao Luoyang happened to see a pen and ink shop, and was about to call his third uncle to take a look when he saw someone rushing out of the pen and ink shop.

The man held a book in his hand and shouted: "How dare you sell a book written by Zhang Yuan?"

The shopkeeper and the waiter in the shop chased him out.

The man was still shouting: "If you dare to sell these things written by Zhang Yuan again, be careful that the people in the village will demolish the shop."

When people around heard the commotion, they came forward to watch the fun.

The man noticed that there were more people, and his voice became louder: "Don't believe it? Just a few days ago, a female family member disappeared in the village. She was the adopted daughter of the village director. Later, the body of the female family member was found in Fengxia Village. These days, the Yamen

The department is looking for the murderer, but guess what? The results were released today, and Zhang Yuan was admitted to the Fu Xue. People from the Fu Xue went to the Zhang family to announce the good news, but no matter how hard they knocked on the door, no one answered."

"Everyone has no choice but to go in and take a look. This is an incredible sight. We find that Zhang Yuan's house is filled with portraits of the woman and her clothes. People from the government office are still at Zhang's house. If you want to watch the fun, go there now.

Take a look."
