As the search time became longer and longer, Nie Shuang's heart sank.
Along the way, he saw some relocated people being escorted away by officers and soldiers of the government office. He asked people to inquire and found out that these people were preparing to escape halfway. The governor of Taozhou ordered to arrest these people. After these people are caught, they will be recruited into the army.
household.
Once you become a military household, you will have to serve as a soldier for generations. It will be extremely difficult to get rid of your military status in the future.
Nie Shuang was thinking in his mind, wouldn't those people do something stupid like running away? In addition, he also felt that there was something fishy about this matter. The relocated people were all going to Taozhou, how could they be here?
When is the time to escape?
The sixteen households had the officials following them, so such mistakes would not happen.
"Sir," the subordinate stepped forward and whispered, "I heard that people who died of illness on the road were sent to the mountains for burial. Should we go there and take a look?"
This is what Nie Shuang fears the most.
Lord Huaiguang asked him to protect Miss Zhao, and he would naturally protect her to the death, but he was afraid that something would go wrong before others arrived.
"No," Nie Shuang said, "there are so many people, it's not like everything will happen at once."
Moreover, on the way to Minzhou, he also found an inn and knew that they had stayed there. When they stayed at the inn, they were still a household of sixteen. They had only been away for a long time, and something big happened.
Where else can I find it?
There are no small inns, and those big inns will not accommodate relocated people.
Is it possible that they didn't arrive in Minzhou?
Nie Shuang looked around anxiously, his eyes passing over one figure after another. When he was about to leave with someone, suddenly a familiar face broke into his sight.
It was like a light suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Nie Shuang stepped forward and grabbed the man.
The men from sixteen families finished their work at the racecourse. The steward of the racecourse immediately gave them the money for the day and asked them to come over early tomorrow morning.
Zhao Xueli was about to send Mr. Zheng Yi back, so Ding Maosheng took the rest of the people back to the restaurant. Everyone walked back while talking, and halfway there, Ding Maosheng was suddenly pulled by his arm.
Ding Maosheng was about to struggle subconsciously, but when he turned around, he met a pair of eyes.
This is……
Ding Maosheng changed from surprise to joy: "Nie..."
The word "Sir" was not uttered because Nie Shuang made a "shh" gesture.
Ding Maosheng almost covered his mouth. He really didn't expect to see Nie Shuang here again. They came here to save Zhao Jingyun. Now is the time when no one can rely on them. If Lord Nie Shuang comes, they will at least
There is someone who can discuss it.
Didn't Mr. Song say that? Mr. Nie knows Mr. Zhao, and originally Mr. Nie also wanted to ask Mr. Zhao to take care of them.
Ding Maosheng suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and listened to Nie Shuang talking to him.
Naturally, Nie Shuang's first question was to ask Zhao Luoyang: "Where is the Zhao family girl? How is she?"
Ding Maosheng was startled. He never expected Master Nie to say this at the beginning.
"Are you asking Sister Luo?" Ding Maosheng was a little suspicious and quietly looked at Nie Shuang. This Lord Nie looked like he was in his mid-twenties. I wonder if he was married? Or why he suddenly missed their Luo Shuang?
Sister?
Nie Shuang was only thinking about Zhao Luoyang and didn't care about Ding Maosheng's expression.
Ding Maosheng cleared his throat and then said: "Sister Luo is here too. She is very good. Please worry about me."
Only then did a stone on Nie Shuang's chest fall to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a lot.
Ding Maosheng felt more and more strange that Mr. Nie was really too concerned about Sister Luo. He had to tell Mrs. Yang about this matter after he returned home so that the Zhao family would know better.
As for Mr. Nie... he is a bit older, but he is a member of the Armed Guards and seems to have an official position. It makes sense to think so.
It would be unthinkable for farmers like them to find such a marriage, but... Along the way, Ding Maosheng felt more and more that Sister Luo was powerful, smart and the disciple of Mr. Song, which was ordinary.
Can girls compare?
Besides, those are the Zhao family’s eyes, and I don’t know if Old Mrs. Yang will agree to it.
Nie Shuang then asked: "Where do you live?"
After hearing the news about Zhao Luoyang, Nie Shuang looked around and saw that they were all men from sixteen families, but he had never spoken to these people and was not as familiar with Ding Maosheng.
Ding Maosheng smiled and said: "We all live in Didian in the city."
"Di's store?" Nie Shuang was a little surprised. He really didn't guess at the Di's store. These places cost a lot of money to get in and out. How could sixteen households have so much money?
Ding Maosheng nodded.
Nie Shuang said: "Did you spend money to get in?"
Ding Maosheng responded: "It's all thanks to Sister Luo that we moved in, and it didn't cost much, about one tael of silver!"
Nie Shuang couldn't believe that one tael of silver entered the Di shop, but...he had seen the intelligence of the Zhao family girls, and now that Master Huaiguang had given him some advice, he felt that the Zhao family girls were even more extraordinary.
Since people are not ordinary, it is not unusual to do such a thing.
Nie Shuang persuaded herself and said in a low voice: "Let's go, you take me to Di shop together."
After all, it was inconvenient to talk here. Lord Huaiguang told him not to reveal to anyone about his trip to protect the Zhao family girl this time.
He could only hide the matter first, and first inquire about the current situation from the 16th household.
Maybe he was too nervous before and always felt that this errand was not easy to do. Maybe it was not that dangerous. These were just relocating people. How much trouble could it cause?
Without saying anything else, everyone returned to the restaurant.
Ding Maosheng pushed open the door of his shop, and Nie Shuang saw Old Mrs. Yang standing in the yard with the women doing needlework.
Everyone looked relaxed, working and talking at the same time.
This situation made Nie Shuang feel even more relaxed. It seemed like nothing had happened.
"Lord Nie."
Mrs. Yang discovered Nie Shuang and immediately had people help her step forward.
Nie Shuang nodded and whispered: "How are you doing, old lady, after we said goodbye last time?"
"Okay, okay!" Old Mrs. Yang said with a smile, "Not only did they have a smooth journey to Minzhou, not only did they live here and have food and drink, they also found a job at the racecourse in the city and they could earn some money.
.”
Nie Shuang looked around. Someone pushed open the door and came out to take a look. However, it was blocked by people from sixteen households and could not see what was going on here.
To say that these sixteen households are relaxed is not the case. Each of them is also very vigilant, otherwise they would not deliberately cover up.
Could it be that you have experienced too much on the road and that is why you are like this?
Mrs. Yang invited Nie Shuang in.
Zhao Xuejing, Zhao Xueyi and others entered the room to talk together.
Nie Shuang looked at the faces in the room and couldn't help but said: "Why don't you see...the second Zhao family..."
Thinking that the girl from the Zhao family might be related to his young prince, Nie Shuang felt that it was inappropriate to call Zhao Xueli "brother" again.
But calling him "Second Uncle" rashly would be too strange.
Nie Shuang coughed, and the atmosphere in the room almost became weird.
