Chapter 1728: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1728: An Anomaly
Without waiting for Granny Fang to decline, Shu Yu left the kitchen first.
When she returned to the main hall of Mi's Clinic, she found that Meng Qi was concerned about her going out alone and decided to accompany her.
Shu Yu felt a bit helpless. What was there to worry about? She wasn't a three-year-old child.
But since Meng Qi insisted, Shu Yu found it difficult to refuse.
The two of them left Mi's Clinic together. It was still early, so there were very few people on the street, and those passing by were in a hurry, creating a quiet atmosphere.
Shu Yu had changed into inconspicuous clothes, looking just like any other passerby with her head down.
Meng Qi told her, "There's a grain store nearby. Most of the grain stores in the county are open, although prices might have gone up a bit. But the County magistrate issued an order, so the fluctuations aren't significant."
Although the County magistrate wasn't a good person, he still needed to maintain appearances.
At least in the hearts of the people of Chenggu County, he was considered a magistrate who cared for the people.
Thinking about this, Meng Qi felt nauseated.
He was about to lead Shu Yu to the grain store, but she suddenly said in a low voice, "Let's not go there. Are there any grain stores on the streets behind?"
Meng Qi pondered for a moment, "Yes, there are, but why would you want to go there?"
"I want to see the situation at the city gate."
Meng Qi suddenly understood and immediately led her to take a turn and head towards the back streets.
After walking for a while, Meng Qi was quite curious about what had happened in the black market. How was Jiang Kuanyu doing? Did he really torture his father to this extent?
But seeing Shu Yu focused on walking and considering that they were outside, it wasn't convenient to talk, so he suppressed his doubts and concentrated on leading the way.
The two of them soon found a grain store. Meng Qi went inside to buy grain, while Shu Yu continued walking ahead and stopped at the entrance of an alley to observe the situation at the city gate from a distance.
The guards at the city gate were the same as before, and there were quite a few of them.
Shu Yu quickly estimated and narrowed her eyes. Something was off; there seemed to be more people.
During their entrance into the city the other day, she had checked from the sidelines. There were roughly thirty people, but today there were more than fifty.
Why were there suddenly so many more people?
Chenggu County had two city gates in total. If there were fifty people here, did the north gate have just as many?
With more guards at the city gate, there would be fewer patrolling the streets.
But this wouldn't be good for them. Their plan was to pick them off one by one, first dealing with the scattered patrol soldiers, then concentrating on taking both city gates and the county office.
If there were more guards at the city gate, their task would become more difficult.
"Sister Shu Yu, I'm done buying," Meng Qi's voice came from behind.
Shu Yu shifted her gaze and turned around to see Meng Qi carrying two large cloth bags.
She took one of the bags from him and nodded. "Let's go back."
Seeing her expression, Meng Qi asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there an issue at the city gate?"
"Yes, there are more people than before. But it's not a big deal. I'll inform the others when we're back."
As they walked back, even though they were taking a smaller route, they didn't encounter any patrolling soldiers.
It seemed that the number of patrols had indeed decreased.
Upon returning to Doctor Mi's Clinic, Granny Fang had already started cooking porridge. Shu Yu seized the opportunity to start steaming buns and making pancakes.
Granny Fang was surprised by her skilled techniques. "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be this good, young lady."
She had thought that if the young lady asked for her help, it would be at most for washing vegetables.
