Chapter 480

The pocket in the woman's waist contains not rice in the general sense, but refined rice that has been specially improved and has strict requirements for the growth environment. This refined rice can slightly enhance people's physical quality after cooking due to long-term exposure to aura. Of course, the increase is very slight.

But even so, refined rice can be regarded as a treasure. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. Only rich families can take refined rice as their staple food every day.

But this woman can't be a rich man.

Yang Xuan's eyes swept from the middle-aged yamen, and finally fell on the woman. He asked, "what's going on?"

The two children noticed the arrival of Yang Xuan, slowly stopped crying and looked at Yang Xuan curiously with big eyes open.

Seeing this, the woman quickly let go of the child, knelt down in front of Yang Xuan and cried, "please be the master. The people's women are just changing some rations in the market. There is absolutely no evil intention!"

"Change rations?" Yang Xuan pulled Yu Qingcheng who wanted to come forward and asked, "what do you use for rations?"

The woman was stunned when she heard Yang Xuan's question, and the expression on her face hesitated.

Seeing this, the Yamen on one side took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense. This is a..."

"My Lord, civilian women just want to exchange this for rations." Forced by the yamen, the woman clenched her teeth, took down the pocket at her waist, untied the mouth of the bag and revealed the white rice.

Sure enough, it's pure rice!

Yang Xuan quietly looked at the milled rice in his pocket and asked, "where did you get these milled rice?"

"This, this, yes, it was picked up by the civilian woman." The woman's tone was a little flustered.

"She lied! It's clear that these refined rice were collected and scraped from the dead!" The Yamen servant suddenly jumped out and stared at the woman with disgust on his face.

The words of the Yamen seemed to stimulate the woman. The woman was a little excited, and her voice became sharp: "I'm not, I don't have, I found these refined rice!"

"Oh? Found it?" The Yamen servant stared into the woman's eyes, smiled coldly, pointed to the bag and said, "don't lie, I've seen the blood on the grain of rice."

"No way! I checked it carefully!" The woman instinctively denied it, but then she reacted and fell to the ground.

"Please learn from your excellency!" The Yamen servant ignored the woman, arched his hand at Yang Xuan, and then stopped talking.

Yang Xuan looked at the woman sitting on the ground and knew that it would be impossible to ask any information from the woman population for a moment and a half. He shook his head, looked at the middle-aged Yamen and asked, "what's your name!"

"Villain Xu San."

"Xu San? Judging from your attitude, you seem to know the origin of the rice in this woman's hand!"

"Villains encountered similar incidents when they served in the greedy wolf army." The Yamen serviceman suddenly lifted his coat, exposed his scarred upper body, pointed to the extremely conspicuous wound on his abdomen, glanced at his wife with disgust and said, "this kind of person stabbed the wound on his abdomen!"

"The food on this beast's hand was picked from the soldiers on the battlefield!"

Boom~

The voice of the Yamen servant fell, like dropping a heavy bomb into the crowd. The crowd of onlookers stepped back a few steps, and their eyes at the woman had changed from sympathy to disgust.

Yang Xuan's face was also a little ugly.

Xuanmen pass is the front line of the battle between Terrans and barbarians. Large and small battles often break out. Generally speaking, both sides will clean the battlefield after the battle. On the one hand, they search and rescue the survivors, on the other hand, they don't let the soldiers expose their bodies in the wilderness to avoid plague, but some sudden small-scale encounters can't clean the battlefield in time.

Some special groups pay attention to this.

Before the arrival of the officers and soldiers, search the battlefield and take away some convenient property. If that's all, what's more, these collectors usually carry murder weapons. When they meet soldiers with breath, they will not hesitate to make up a knife.

No one can tolerate such behavior, especially the soldiers who sacrifice their lives on the front line.

No wonder Xu San is so excited.

"Why did you do that?" Yang Xuan's voice said with a faint chill: "as far as I know, his Majesty's policy is open-minded and taxes are extremely light. As an important place in the front line, Xuanmen pass has a special person to be responsible for people's livelihood in order to maintain stability. General Zhou fengmiao also runs the army very strictly..."

"Even if there are any difficulties, in this special period, as long as you report, the Yamen will arrange a living for you. Why do you do this?"

"No, I'm not. Civilian women don't." The woman is already a little incoherent. "These, these are not from the soldiers at the entrance. They are mountain bandits!"

"Mountain thief?" Yang Xuan laughed a little. Xuanmen pass is in a critical period of decisive battle with barbarians. Various armies and horses are frequently mobilized, and friars can be seen everywhere. All mountain bandits have been swept away long before the war. Where can there be any mountain bandits.

The woman didn't know what Yang Xuan thought and argued, "yes! It's a mountain thief!"

"Hiding in the mountains all day, I'm mysterious and occasionally appear with a fierce face, forcing us to change some rice and salt. What's not a mountain thief?"

"Wait, you said these refined rice were obtained from a group of mysterious people hiding in the mountains?" Yang Xuan's eyes lit up and asked in a hurry.

After a series of questioning, Yang Xuan finally got the truth.

About three months ago, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared in the deep mountain not far from the women's village. These mysterious people were powerful and easily controlled the whole village, threatening the villagers to provide them with necessary living materials.

This state lasted for three months, but the day before yesterday, when the materials were routinely handed over, the villagers found that the mysterious man was missing. The brave villagers went into the mountain to check the situation, but only found the bodies of the mysterious man everywhere.

The refined rice on the woman was found in the mysterious man's camp.

In this special period, who will hide in the mountains?

Mysterious ghost repair? Or a barbarian spy?

Whatever it is, this is an extremely important clue.

Yang Xuan decided to see it himself.

"Xu San, I'll give you a task." Yang Xuan took out his token, shook it and said, "I'm Yang Xuan, Hou of Luodu. Go to the army to find general Zhou fengmiao, report my name, and then tell him everything that happened here."

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan thought for a while and added, "when you come back, find someone to take you to my camp and let the giant family snow heavily. They come to me."

Xu San took the task and left with an excited face.

Yang Xuan hesitated and looked at the girl who had been following him: "Qingcheng, this time may be very dangerous, you..."

Yu Qingcheng held Yang Xuan's hand and smiled gently.

Yang Xuan hesitated.
