Shi Lidie and Chen Shuting heard the voice, looked at each other, and walked over with serious expressions.

There was no other reason. It was because it was too strange that a beggar appeared in the fiefdom.

Since the number of jobs in the fiefdom increased and orphanages and nursing homes were set up, there are no so-called beggars on the roadside anymore. The beggars of the past have been classified and now have their own places to go.

Moreover, in Shi Lidie's fiefdom, as long as one's hands and feet were intact, there was no need to worry about not having work to do, and there was no need to beg at all.

Therefore, this beggar who suddenly appeared was very suspicious.

Could he have come from a nearby city? But that shouldn't be the case. A beggar doesn't have a pass. Even if he came from somewhere else, how did he get into the city? And even on such a busy street.

"There is a problem. I'm afraid it's not the remnants of the Ye Kingdom who are still determined to do evil and have sent someone to do bad things?" Chen Shuting walked around the crowd, looked at the beggar inside, and whispered to Shi Lidie.

"Let's wait and see." Shi Lidie was also worried about this, so she decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

The beggar was caught by five girls from the patrol team. Three of them stood at the outermost edge, standing in a defensive posture to prevent any accomplices in the crowd.

The other two girls divided the work. One of them tied the beggar's hands and made him lie on the ground. She put one foot on the beggar's back, while the other girl was in charge of interrogating him:

"Tell me, who are you? How did you get into the city?"

The beggar heard this and raised his head slightly. His face was dirty, but one could see that he had a pair of beautiful eyes. He replied:

"I followed that carriage in! I grabbed the bottom of the carriage and let them bring me in!"

"I didn't know beggars weren't allowed in here. Sorry, I'll leave now!"

After saying this, the beggar struggled to get up. At this time, Shi Lidie saw that there seemed to be something under the beggar. Although he was lying down, the movements of his arms seemed to be protecting that thing.

"Be quiet and don't move!" The girl in charge of the detention stepped on his back again.

"I really didn't mean it! I came all the way from the south, and there were beggars everywhere, including in the city. Who knew you wouldn't allow beggars into the city!" The beggar cried, "I just didn't know the situation and sneaked into the city. Am I committing a crime? I'm more wronged than Dou E!"

After hearing this, Shi Lidie's heart trembled.

The beggar said that he was more wronged than Dou E.

But "The Injustice of Dou E" is from the world she lives in, a zaju created by Yuan Dynasty playwright Guan Hanqing. In this ancient world, there is no such work as "The Injustice of Dou E?", and naturally there is no story more unjust than Dou E.

So, could it be that the person who could say the two words "Dou E" was from the same era as her?

Besides her, are there other travelers in this world?

If this is true, Shi Lidie feels that she needs to find out.

After all, if there are other time travelers, when they see so many things that are out of date in the fiefdom, they will definitely think of another time traveler.

But not every time traveler is good, Shi Lidie must find out the background of this person.

"Juanjuan." Shi Lidie spoke and called the name of the girl in charge of the interrogation.

The girl turned around and saw Shi Lidie, and she immediately became excited:

"Princess, you are here too! I am sorry to have let this beggar disturb your pleasure. I will have him taken away right away!"

"Send him to the princess's residence." Shi Lidie said, "Today is the Qiqiao Festival, there are many people on the street, and we still need you to patrol. I will let someone else do the interrogation."

"Okay!" Juanjuan agreed immediately.

The people in the fiefdom trusted Shi Lidie very much, because she was the one who led everyone to live a good life, so no matter what she said, the people below would not have any objections.

Soon, some bailiffs came and grabbed the beggar and sent him to the princess's mansion.

At this time, Shi Lidie saw clearly what the beggar had pressed down on him.

It turned out to be a black backpack. The bag was very dirty and covered with mud, but there was a very obvious logo on the upper left corner of the bag. It was a very well-known sports brand in the world she lived in.

Shi Lidie swallowed her saliva, but in these years in ancient times, she also learned to remain calm, and turned to ask Chen Shuting:

"I'm going to go back and see who this beggar is. What about you?"

"I have to go find my brother. I have an appointment with him tonight. I also have to tell him everything you told me to say." Chen Shuting said, "It's just an interrogation of a beggar. You are enough."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Shi Lidie said with a smile.

Indeed, there is no need for the princess to personally interrogate a beggar, but if the beggar's origin is questionable, and he is suspected to be a remnant of the Ye State, who bears a grudge against Shi Lidie and wants to cause damage in her fiefdom, then the matter would be serious.

After Shi Lidie separated from Chen Shuting, she immediately returned to the princess's mansion.

At this time, Wen Tan came in to report that the beggar had been sent there. She immediately ordered:

"Take him to wash up, change into clean clothes and bring him to me."

"Yes, this beggar smells too bad. I don't know how long it has been since he took a bath. If we bring him here rashly, I'm afraid the princess will be stung by the stink." Wen Tan said, and quickly asked someone to take the beggar to wash.

This wash took half an hour in total.

After the beggar came out, Wen Tan was a little stunned. She didn't expect that the dirty and smelly beggar would look so good after washing.

His handsome face is no less than that of Lord Chen Zhao, and Chen Zhao is already a famous handsome man in the capital.

However, this beggar looks a little weird. His hair is very short and he can’t tie it up at all. I don’t know what he is thinking. Our hair is given by our parents, so why would anyone cut his hair so short?

"Let's go, the princess wants to see you." Wen Tan said, and was about to reach out to take the beggar's backpack.

The beggar dodged and said with a smile:

"Don't bother me, young lady. I'll get it myself."

Soon, Wen Tan brought the beggar to Shi Lidie.

The place where Shi Lidie met him was in a remote courtyard in the princess's mansion. There was no one around. She ordered Wen Tan to guard outside the courtyard and not allow anyone to approach.

Suddenly, Shi Lidie and the beggar were the only two people left in the yard.

Shi Lidie was not in a hurry to recognize her fellow countryman, she just said:

"I don't know if you have ever heard of the phrase 'be polite before using force'. Your identity was in doubt and you were caught by the patrol. I brought you back, gave you a bath, and prepared food for you."

"If you are willing to tell me all about your background, and I confirm that there is nothing wrong with you, I will let you go. If you conceal anything in your confession, don't blame me for being rude."

As Shi Lidie spoke, she pointed at the food on the table.

The table was full and the aroma was fragrant. She could hear the beggar swallowing and his stomach growling.
