Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

What's going on? After entering the city, something seems to be wrong. Her husband and brother suddenly seem to be more respectful to the adults. Li Hui feels a little strange.

Wu Xiancheng patted her hand and whispered, "I'll tell you when I get back."

Since that was the case, Li Hui didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that her brother looked like he was eager to serve the adults, she knew it was a good thing.

"Young master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Li Dashan took out a roasted sweet potato from somewhere.

Sheng Changan was a little helpless: "Just shut up now."

Li Dashan lowered his head in frustration.

Sheng Changan rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry, I will keep my word. You must work hard when you go back. But, now, shut up."

Li Dashan nodded immediately. He was a little afraid that he was dreaming in broad daylight, so he wanted to get a definite answer.

"We can only find a place to stay with the common people now," Sheng Chang'an said with a gloomy face. Although he had one or two taels of silver, it was still troublesome to find a place to stay.

There are so many people, and we don’t know how long they will stay. It has cost a lot of money to store the donkey carts. Money must not be wasted now. Staying in people’s homes will also make it convenient for them to inquire.

After being rejected again and again, Sheng Changan simply signaled Li Dashan to block the door and said, "We are just asking for a place to stay. We won't do anything. We will pay you."

But the old man still stood firmly at the door and refused to let them in, with an expression that said, "If you go in, I will kill me." Sheng Changan couldn't really do anything, so he had to give up.

"Do you want to stay overnight?"

Sheng Changan turned her head. This was the first time she saw a middle-aged man around 30 years old. She almost thought this was a village for the elderly.

Although the man's clothes were worn out, they were clean and the patches on his clothes were neatly stitched. It was conceivable that he must have a woman at home. "Yes, is it convenient for you? We can pay you."

He swept his eyes over the crowd, pausing for a moment on Sheng Changan and Li Hui. He didn't ask how much money he wanted, but simply said, "Come in!"

"I'll go ahead," Li Dashan walked in first.

The other five people consciously protected Sheng Chang'an without any orders and did not dare to relax.

Sheng Changan didn't care. This person didn't mention the accommodation fee at all, so he must have something to ask of them. After all, judging from the way they were dressed, they didn't look like rich people, so he couldn't ask for a huge amount of money.

Sheng Changan sat down, with County Magistrate Wu and several others standing behind her. Zhang Tie watched the scene without saying a word, but placed a glass of water in front of Sheng Changan. "You guys are not from here, are you?"

Although the house was bare, it was kept very clean. Two copies of everything needed were prepared. Sheng Changan smiled and said, "We are indeed not from here."

Zhang Tie seemed to be relieved and wiped his sweaty hands on his body. "Where are you from?"

Sheng Changan paused his gaze on his hands and said, "We are from Guangping." Before he could come to his senses, he asked, "Why doesn't your wife come out?"

Zhang Tie's eyes widened in surprise, and he became visibly nervous. "What wife? I, I don't have a wife."

Sheng Changan pointed at his things and said, "Almost everything in your house is in duplicate, and your clothes are so neatly stitched, it's impossible for a man to have made them."

Zhang Tie took a few steps back and said, "I sewed this myself."

"Husband, you don't have to hide it." A woman came out from behind the door with a slightly bulging belly.

Zhang Tie stood in front of her, feeling somewhat regretful. The woman pushed his hand away and saluted, "This is my husband, Zhang Tie. My name is Li Niang."

It was her idea to ask Zhang Tie to leave and invite them in. There were women and children in this group, and she had to stand up for her unborn child.

Li Niang touched her belly and said, "You guys came from Guangping. I heard that Guangping was robbed not long ago and there is almost no food left."

Seeing Li Niang's belly, Sheng Changan knew why Zhang Tie took the initiative to invite them in. "Yes, but I'm pregnant now."

Li Niang was silent for a long while. She knew she was at a disadvantage since she came out. But when she was hiding inside, she could feel that two people had discovered her, but they just kept silent. Only when Sheng Changan exposed her directly did she come out and ask, "Does Guangping accept vagrants?"

"Are you going to give up your current Lanyang residency?" Becoming a vagrant was incredibly risky. And if Guangping were discovered as a resident, Lanyang County would undoubtedly target him.

"Yes, I've only been pregnant for a short time, so it's convenient for me to hide. If I were to give birth and it were discovered, my child would be snatched away and sacrificed. I can't bear to do that. Even if there's a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up." As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Tie and knelt down.

"I beg you to help us, anywhere is fine, as long as there is a place willing to take us in."

"Then what reward can you give me?" Sheng Changan asked with an unclear look.

"From now on, I will be at your disposal, sir. I will do whatever you say." Zhang Tie held Li Niang's hand. They had no way out.

"You don't have to wait until later, you can do it now." Now we have someone who can find out the news.

County Magistrate Wu stepped forward and helped the two men up. "Get up! Our young master doesn't like to kneel down."

Zhang Tie and the other man looked at each other, both of them a little bit unbelieving. "Master, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I can help you, and I will also ask Guangping County to take you in, but I have a few questions. Have you ever eaten human beings?" Sheng Changan's expression was indifferent. If they had eaten human beings, she would not be able to take these two people in.

The two men hurriedly shook it. Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, "We're afraid it's too late. Those of you who are not from here may not know that we are essentially being kept in captivity by them. If anyone has a child, it will be immediately offered up. Here, only the elderly dare to go out."

"Besides, I heard that there are people up there who specialize in raising women who give birth to children. That's why I'm scared." He didn't expect that his wife would get pregnant even though she had already taken the sterilization medicine.

That's why she saw that most of the people setting up stalls were elderly. "Then do you know where the exiled people live?"

Zhang Tie's expression changed. "I don't know what the master wants to talk to them about. I'm not sure about this, but I can go and ask."

"Are you sure you don't know?"

Looking at Sheng Changan's slightly threatening eyes, Zhang Tie was a little nervous but still insisted that he didn't know.

Wu Xiancheng took a step forward and said, "We have no ill intentions. If you know them, just tell them that Wu You is here."

Zhang Tie and the other man remained silent. Sheng Changan stood up and said, "We're not in a hurry. Just tell them this. It's getting late. I wonder where we can rest?"
