Chapter 191: Entering Huangshan Town

At first, the Qishan Five Tigers still wanted to open their mouths to explain.

But that big man clearly did not give the Qishan Five Tigers a chance to speak.

As the rest of the people joined the battle, the Qishan Five Tigers were also provoked into a rage.

Simply giving up on the thought of explaining, they fought directly with the crowd.

Meanwhile, Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of this opportunity to silently return to his room.

He was merely a child, and with so many people fighting, no one would notice him.

As Zhu Gaoxu returned to the room, he did not delay in the slightest.

He closed the door and opened the window.

Without a hint of hesitation, Zhu Gaoxu jumped straight down.

With two leaps, Zhu Gaoxu stood steadily.

At this moment, he had already arrived in the courtyard outside the inn.

It was exceptionally lively inside, with everyone fighting for their lives.

Zhu Gaoxu found a horse outside, untied the rope, mounted it, whipped it, and rode away directly.

This place was very close to Huangshan Town.

Zhu Gaoxu whipped his horse the entire way, galloping toward the direction of Huangshan Town.

Along this journey, Zhu Gaoxu had followed the Qishan Five Tigers and witnessed quite a bit of the situation regarding the disaster victims in the North.

Although there were many porridge stalls opened by the government along the way, it was clearly a drop in the bucket.

What they could achieve was merely barely keeping the disaster victims from starving to death.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had also arrived at his destination, and he had completely shaken off the Qishan Five Tigers.

Now it was time to attend to serious business.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu also arrived at Huangshan Town.

Fortunately, there was no curfew in Huangshan Town at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu was able to enter late at night.

He walked into Huangshan Town.

Zhu Gaoxu discovered that the roads on both sides were filled with disaster victims.

What was even more extreme was that some disaster victims even had corpses lying beside them.

Although most of the disaster victims were already asleep at this time.

There were also some disaster victims who heard the movement and opened their eyes.

When these disaster victims saw Zhu Gaoxu, their expressions were incomparably numb, and they were too lazy to even move.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned deeply, but he did not say much, only secretly urging the horse beneath him to run faster.

Arriving at the center of the town, Zhu Gaoxu found the location of the Huangshan Town government office.

It was already late at night, and the government office was clearly not open.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu found a large tree at the entrance of the government office.

Arriving under the large tree, Zhu Gaoxu dismounted and tied the horse under the tree.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu hugged the tree with both hands and climbed upward.

Before long, Zhu Gaoxu climbed onto the tree.

The large tree was a full four or five meters high, already taller than the perimeter wall of the government office.

Using the large tree, Zhu Gaoxu jumped into the government office in one go.

With Internal Energy to rely on, a height of several meters would not be enough to injure him.

It was just that he had never learned Lightness Skill, so although he could gather his Qi to jump higher than an ordinary person, that was the extent of the difference.

However, jumping down a few meters was not difficult for him.

As Zhu Gaoxu arrived inside the government office, he looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhu Gaoxu walked toward the backyard.

Logically speaking, there should be yamen runners patrolling inside the government office at night.

But for some reason at this moment, there was not a single yamen runner outside.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the backyard of the government office in such a brazen manner.

The backyard was the residence of the county magistrate.

This Huangshan Town county magistrate should be living in the backyard at this time.

As Zhu Gaoxu walked into the backyard, he followed the layout and found the kitchen of the backyard.

That's right, Zhu Gaoxu had gone through all this trouble just to see what was inside this county magistrate's kitchen.

If there were big fish and meat, it naturally went without saying.

He was definitely a corrupt official.

Even if not, he probably had nothing to do with being an upright official.

At that time, he would continue to consider and find a pretext.

Arriving at the kitchen, Zhu Gaoxu opened the door and walked inside.

Borrowing the moonlight, Zhu Gaoxu examined the interior of the kitchen.

Regardless of anything else, the kitchen was still considered clean.

He checked the rice jar.

There was still one-third of the rice inside.

Afterwards, he found some white flour from another jar.

It looked to be about ten or more catties.

Afterwards, he wandered around and saw some green vegetables, but Zhu Gaoxu did not see a single bit of meat.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, feeling that he had a grasp of the situation.

He turned to go out and closed the door securely.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced in the direction of the magistrate's bedroom, then returned directly the way he came.

Exiting the county government office, Zhu Gaoxu arrived under the large tree where the horses were tethered.

But at this moment, where could Zhu Gaoxu's horse possibly be seen?

It had already vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu gave a wry smile.

He shook his head and decided to find a place to stay first.

Huangshan Town, near the location of the yamen runners, was considered the most prosperous area of the entire county town.

Zhu Gaoxu did not have to exert much effort to find an inn.

The conditions of inns within the town were much better than those outside the city.

Although it could not reach its peak state due to the disaster.

Yet both the accommodation environment and the food were far better than the inns outside the city.

Of course, the price was naturally much more expensive as well.

But Zhu Gaoxu did not care about this at all.

With tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hands, he did not even take this small amount of money into account.

Walking into the inn, facing the suspicious gaze of the waiter, Zhu Gaoxu took out a one-hundred-tael silver note.

The waiter immediately revealed a fawning smile.

Subsequently, Zhu Gaoxu smoothly moved into the best room in the inn.

Incidentally, the waiter also very perceptively fetched a bucket of bathwater for Zhu Gaoxu.
