In Anzhou, the boundaries of Zhao County are different from other places. It lives alone in the mountains.

In other words, there are no neighboring counties around it.

Even starting from Zhao County to the nearest Anzhou, it would take a full hour by carriage.

Once the gate of Zhao County is closed, it is basically isolated from the outside world. The adults behind them chose Zhao County not only because Jia An is easy to handle, but also because of the hermeticity of Zhao County.

"Has no one noticed this state of Zhao County?" Dongzhu followed the young master, a little puzzled.

In her eyes, the little master knows a lot.

Chu Zhaozhao thought for a while, "There is such a thing in the history books, it is said that a plague broke out in a place, and the officials in that place fled for their lives early. They did not even dare to report it, for fear that the emperor would kill them.

As a result of this delay, nine out of ten people died of illness, and no one in the court heard about it."

"What happened next?" Dongzhu was shocked.

"Later, when the imperial court sent people to collect taxes and grain, they discovered that this place was almost an empty city." Chu Zhaozhao said with a wry smile.

Da Shengguo is not big or small, but it is not very eye-catching among the surrounding countries.

What she was talking about was what happened in the Great Yuan Kingdom on this land before the founding of the Great Sheng Kingdom.

This thing is outrageous, but it is indeed recorded word for word in the history books.

"Isn't this just like the time of the late emperor, when many refugees arrived in the capital, and everyone knew that there was a flood in that place..." Dongzhu said softly.

Chu Zhaozhao nodded.

Although she has never experienced what Dongzhu said, she knows the whole story.

A small county below Qingzhou happened to be surrounded by a river dam. Since there had been no floods for many years, local officials pocketed the money allocated by the court to repair the dam.

But it just so happened that in the same year when the money was embezzled, there was a great flood.

At that time, the statistics in history books alone recorded that thousands of people died and countless people were displaced...

The local officials were so frightened that they did not dare to report the incident. They thought they would quietly provide disaster relief, but they did not expect that the local people almost rebelled.

Someone came to the capital along the official road, and then someone quickly reported it to the late emperor.

The late emperor was furious at that time. In just half a month, more than a dozen officials from top to bottom lost their heads.

"Zhao County knows something, at least he knows how to appease the people with a goddess, and he also knows how to win people's hearts with money." Chu Zhaozhao said expressionlessly.

Not long after Princess Leshu went out, she hurried back with a few women.

After they entered the door, they caressed their chests and gasped!

"Hey, be good, there are suddenly many people from the yamen on the street, and some people in black, so cruel!" A fair and fat woman was very frightened.

Chu Zhaozhao was also on the first floor at the moment, and she thought about going outside to take a look.

After taking a few steps, a fat hand pulled her back.

"Hey, little girl, you must not go out. The group of people outside will make gestures at a portrait when they see someone. If they don't obey, they will be killed directly." A woman next to her quickly threatened her.

"Kill?" Chu Zhaozhao seemed shocked for a moment.

Princess Leshu hurried over, held Xiao Zhaozhao in her arms, and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is my daughter."

"Then you have to keep an eye on her. We don't know what is going on outside..." The woman continued to ramble.

Chu Zhaozhao winked at Dongzhu, and Dongzhu turned and left.

The old shopkeeper of Shuizhuolou came over specially and wanted to close the door, but when the door was halfway closed, it was blocked by a booted foot that reached in hastily.

"Wait!" the man's scolding voice came in.

Xu Zhengbai was not here at the moment, so the shopkeeper subconsciously looked at Chu Zhaozhao next to him. He even felt that this little girl's words should have more weight.

Chu Zhaozhao signaled him to wait, and then looked at Princess Leshu, "Mom, go and call grandpa over."

Grandfather?

Princess Leshu was only confused for a little bit, and she immediately woke up.

My grandfather is an old man, so the only one who deserves the word "old" here is Master Zhaozhao!

"Okay." Princess Leshu responded and ran towards the backyard.

At this moment, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore. Chu Zhaozhao stepped forward and put his hand on the door, "You go to the back first."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then Chu Zhaozhao stretched out his hand and pushed him aside.

The moment the door was opened, a heavy slap came with the wind, but it was in vain.

"You are deaf or blind, you didn't hear us..." the leading officer said angrily.

His slap was empty, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

When I looked down, I saw a little girl with a fleshy face.

The leading officer didn't even think about it, he just raised his foot and came towards Chu Zhaozhao.

Chu Zhaozhao's fake smile froze on his face, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hands to hug his feet.

Chu Zhaozhao gave him a split in one of his seemingly insensitive "actions".

"Ah!" A scream rang out from the mouth of the leading yamen servant.

Chu Zhaozhao glanced in the direction of the backyard from the corner of his eye, then carefully stepped back a few steps, showing a helpless look, and burst into tears.

Lord Wu Shen wanted to walk slowly, but Princess Kekeshu didn't let go at all.

She grabbed one of Wu Shen Gong's fingers and forced it in. As soon as she came in from the back, she heard the loud cry of her little apprentice.

And... several government officials covered their ears in pain.

"You're such a big kid, and you still use this trick." Wu Shengong plucked his ears. He quickly stepped forward and closed his little apprentice's mouth.

Chu Zhaozhao almost bit his tongue!

"Grandpa, they are going to beat me!" Chu Zhaozhao hugged his arm and whispered, "Give Master a chance to act. If Master behaves well these days, I will plead with my mother-in-law."

Wu Shengong's hand that he wanted to raise fell down so naturally.

"Keep your word." Wu Shengong whispered.

After getting the approval from his little apprentice, he put his hands behind his back and stepped forward, not forgetting to step hard on the hand of the person lying on the bed.

There was another scream.

Duke Wu Shen turned a deaf ear. He picked up a stool and sat down.

"Come on, come on, tell me, who did something to my little apprentice just now?"

Chu Zhaozhao's face shrank and she was about to cry. She ran over in small steps and grabbed the person on the ground by the ear.

The little girl said confidently, "Master, that's him, that's him. He doesn't think the little girl is cute at all!"

A little girl, he can actually move his feet!

Give him two big arms!
