Governor Peng shook his head:
"I don't have any impression of this person, but I can call someone who has managed him."
Soon, a stout man arrived. He looked like a military attaché. He had a strong body and a military air in his movements.
When this person came, he saw Hyun's dark face, paused for a moment, cupped his hands and said:
"Master Zhuo, Lord Peng, my subordinate Wang Shi."
Governor Peng asked:
"Tell me what you know about wealth."
Wang Shi thought for a while and said:
"Fugui seems to be quite honest. He doesn't talk much and always has a silly smile on his face. He doesn't really look like someone who would cause trouble."
Hyun heard Wang Shi's accent and asked casually:
"Where are you from?"
Wang Shi looked at Hyun and said seriously:
"Master Zhuo, although I am a member of the Di tribe, I do not bully others."
Hyun was stunned for a moment. She just asked casually and had no other meaning. However, remembering that all ethnic groups were in turmoil and that the Han people did not get along harmoniously with other ethnic groups, she understood Wang Shi's reaction.
He said a little embarrassed:
"Well, I'm really just asking casually," he coughed, and then asked, "How is the situation with the troops stationed in the east now?"
Wang Shi replied:
"General Shi will come to guard it in person, no problem."
Hyun quickly asked:
"Which General Shi?"
"Shi Cen, General Shi."
Hyun and Yang spoke to the team members, and both of them had smiles in their eyes.
After resting for a night, Xuan led his troops southward early the next morning.
I met a lot of people on the road who were dragging their families to avoid the war. They were all frowning and emaciated. Even if they passed by the army, there was no reaction. For the people, the most concerned thing is when they can return to the army.
Return home.
Hyun said to Yang Yanyang:
"Master Sheeptongue, look, with so many people, can the city behind us take care of them?"
Yang Yanyang glanced at the endless queue of refugees and shook his head:
"This cannot be taken care of by one city. Unless multiple cities join forces, these refugees may still be able to get help."
Hyun frowned and thought for a while:
"There can be no more chaos now. If these refugees cannot be resettled properly, I'm afraid it will be even more turbulent. Let's do what Mr. Yang Tongue said and unite multiple cities."
He turned around and shouted:
"Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Yan Xiaomao."
The two drove the horse forward, and Hyun climbed on the horse's butt, writing a letter and saying to them:
"Take the letter and go to the towns behind to ask them to rescue the refugees. Who dares to neglect you at this time? Don't blame me, Mr. Zhuo, for turning against me."
As the three of them were talking, someone among the refugees shouted:
"Look! It's Master Zhuo!"
The refugees, who had been quiet just now, suddenly became active:
"It's Mr. Zhuo!"
"That's the one on the horse's butt!"
"Master Zhuo is here, we have hope!"
Hyun touched his face, which was painted black and gray, and considered whether to change the color.
Stand up straight and greet the people:
"You go to the towns behind. I have arranged for people to resettle you. You will suffer the injustice for the time being. After we calm down the mob, you can go back."
The people were excited, with smiles on every face and full of hope for life.
Seeing their hope rising, Hyun felt soft in her heart:
As an official, being able to see the well-being of the people is the greatest achievement.
Yan Xiaomao and Hou Mo and Chen Chong took Xun's letter and hurriedly sent it to the towns behind, asking them to prepare in advance, while Xun and the others continued to walk south.
Governor Peng felt bitter after receiving Zhuo's letter. However, in these extraordinary times, if refugees riot again because of his negligence, he might be the next Bing Bu. There are many rumors about Master Zhuo, some of which he has verified with his own eyes.
I definitely don’t dare to procrastinate at this time.
No matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to arrange for people and horses to be provided to towns where refugees were concentrated.
As Xun and the others walked south, they asked the refugees to go to the following towns where refugees were arranged. After Ning Yan got Xun's letter, he also sent people to collect supplies from the surrounding areas. Now, stabilizing people's hearts is the most important thing.
The further south you go, the worse the situation becomes. Traces of the battle can be seen everywhere, and Hyun's face becomes more and more ugly.
On the other side, Fugui and Yang Nai have joined together. The total number of troops on both sides is as many as 20,000 to 30,000. They have also captured some places, and many people are gathering towards them.
Yang Nai raised his head happily and drank a bowl of wine:
"Brother Fugui, if we make such a big fuss, there must be some reaction from the Song State, right?"
Fugui drank wine with an indifferent expression and said calmly:
"Shi Cen is personally stationed at the border between Kunyu State and Song State. It will be difficult for us to cross unless Song State attacks the border."
Yang Nai picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. His shiny mouth made a loud squeaking sound:
"Isn't this simple? Let's cooperate with the Song Dynasty inside and outside. There are so many of us, why are we afraid of Shi Cen?"
Fugui didn't answer, and drank and ate quietly. Yang Nai glanced at him, snorted secretly, and said no more.
After eating, Fugui returned to his room and looked at the information sent by his subordinates a few days ago:
Master Zhuo is coming.
When Hui went to Qinzhou to collect information, Fugui once met him on the street. He felt that Mr. Zhuo was very purposeful in doing things and would never waste time on other things. Rumors said that Mr. Zhuo had many talents. It's unreliable, but Fugui doesn't think so.
Putting down the information, putting his hands behind his head, he thought about the figure flashing by like the wind:
It is said that after Master Zhuo withdrew from Wuzhangyuan, there was no news. In fact, I was still a little afraid of Master Zhuo coming.
Put down your hands and rub your face:
I am really afraid of what will happen!
Looking out the door, even though it is autumn, the sun is still shining brightly, and the warm air floats into the house with the air current, which also brings the mood of wealth to that autumn.
It was around the time when Hyun and Bing Bu were fighting that Fu Gui worked under Wang Shi. He worked as a small policeman and lived a leisurely life. He occasionally went out to drink with his brothers and listened to their bragging. When he returned home, his wife and children were all in love with each other. , ordinary life.
As far as the border is concerned, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There will always be some things that are slacked off by the officials here, or simply ignored, and there are also corruption, corruption and other phenomena. It really conforms to the old Chinese saying: It is beyond the reach of the whip.
About four or five days' journey from Qinzhou, there is a village called Gejiacun. The surname Ge is the common surname in the village. Almost every family is related, so naturally they all vent their breath through the same nostril.
There are three families in this village, one with the surname Yan, one with the surname Niu, and one with the surname Fu. All three families fled here and rented land in the village to make a living.
The family surnamed Yan is more lively. Not long after arriving, they have a good relationship with the village chief and can talk to the villagers. They are also the better family among the three. Later, their daughter married into the village chief’s uncle’s family. His son can be considered half a Gejia villager.
The Fu family is not as lively as the Yan family, but it is still okay. Living under the influence of others always requires patience. The family plans to save some money and go to Qinzhou to work or something. It is better than looking at the whole village like this. People have strong eyes.
The Niu family really lives up to their surname, especially the head of the family, Father Niu, who is just like a stubborn cow. No matter how many cows he wants to do, he can't get him back. Under his influence, the eldest son Niu Dan also has the same temperament as him. , who quarreled and fought with the villagers. Of course, they didn't get along as well as the first two families.
The Yan family lived a prosperous life here, the Fu family lived a humble life, and the Niu family lived a life full of obstacles. In this way, the three families lived here for almost four years.
The village chief wanted to increase the rent for the Niu family, but of course the Niu family refused. Niu's father took his son to reason with the village chief, but Niu's mother pulled the two of them and refused to let him go:
"We are the only three families in this village who live like this. Why don't you reflect on yourself? You can't learn from the Yan family, even if you are like the Fu family."
Father Niu waved her away with a wave of his arm:
"Let me be like the Yan family and try to curry favor with the village chief. I can't do it! What's so good about the Fu family?! Those who swallow their anger will live a miserable life!"
Mother Niu rushed forward and hugged his waist:
"This is not our Niu Village. We are now dependent on others and have to bow our heads. You can't apply the same tactics as Niu Village here!"
Dad Niu twisted his body hard, trying to shake Momma Niu away, but Mommy Niu seemed to be stuck to him and couldn't get away no matter what.
Niu's mother said while competing with Niu's father:
"If you feel uncomfortable living here, let's make do with it for a few months and then go look elsewhere."
Father Niu continued to twist his body:
"Okay! But, I still have to tell the guy surnamed Yan about this today, because he wouldn't do this!"
Niu Dan, who had been waiting outside the door impatiently, came back to help Father Niu pull Aunt Niu:
"Mom, let go!"
Aunt Niu saw that Niu Dan also joined in, knowing that she could not defeat the two father and son, she scolded Niu Dan:
"You bastard! You only know how to fight! You fought when you were in Niu Village, and you still fight here! Why can't you use your brain to think!"
Niudan took Aunt Niu's hand and said:
"Think? What's there to think about! If you don't accept it, just beat them into submission!"
As he spoke, he opened Aunt Niu's hand, and Niu Dan couldn't wait to pull Father Niu away.
Aunt Niu, who fell to the ground, slapped her legs and cried:
"Ouch - this life is unbearable! You two just want us to beg for food -"
After crying for a long time, when no one paid attention to her, she wiped her tears and got up again, entered the house and took her second son Niu Shitou out:
"You have your wits about you. Go keep an eye on your father and your brother. Don't let these two do anything dangerous."
Niu Shitou thrust his hands into his sleeves, hunched his shoulders and prepared to leave. A young woman rushed out of the house, grabbed Niu Shitou, and said to Aunt Niu:
"Mom, why does this always happen to my Shi Shi? It's not like you don't know that my dad and brother are being stubborn, but my Shi Shi can pull them back? Don't just look at my Shi Shi and keep bullying him because he doesn't like to talk.
"
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Niudan's room. The door, which had a crack, was immediately closed tightly. The second daughter-in-law snorted angrily.
Aunt Niu looked at this scene, sighed, shook her hands, and went to chase Dad Niu and Niu Dan. Niu Shitou was pushed back into the house by her daughter-in-law.
The rent increase this time was due to the grievances between the Niu family and Gecun over the years. Yan heard her husband-in-law complain about it, so she told Father Yan. Father Yan thought about it and felt that although his daughter had married into
In the village, she gave birth to a daughter in the past few years.
In rural areas, there is a strong preference for sons over daughters. Therefore, Father Yan always hoped that his daughter would give birth to a boy so that he could settle down in the village. Finally, he became pregnant with his second child. Father Yan quietly asked the doctor to see him, but the doctor said it was a daughter again.
