Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai have been waiting for news in the house for a long time. People like Bai Yuwei and Bai Yuying are still standing outside.
When Bai Yuwei saw Cha Shuo, she immediately stepped forward and said, "How are you doing? Are Ayang and the others okay?"
Cha Shuo shook his head: "I'll report it to the clan leader first."
As Cha Shuo walked forward, he heard people talking behind him.
"Why go to such trouble? What if Cha Shuo brings back the news? Why don't we go out together and don't have to worry about other things, as long as the relocated residents of Fengxia Village are fine."
"Yes, if we are afraid of being criticized by the government office, we won't go out with too many people. Twenty or so will be enough."
"I'm really anxious to wait for news here."
"If something happens, we will be late."
At first glance, everyone knew that they had already prepared. Some even carried sticks. As long as the clan leader agreed, they would leave with their feet up.
When Cha Shuo heard this, he sighed. He was also worried about this, but the patriarch ordered them not to leave the village, so they had no choice but to obey.
These days, immigrants always come over, and everyone gathers together, just like their own family. Now that they are in trouble, they don't reach out to help, and they feel unspeakably suffocated.
If A Yang hadn't always winked at him, he might have followed Uncle Zhao and the others to Ding's house.
Cha Shuo entered the house and immediately closed the door. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Cha Shuo told everything he saw.
Bai said: "So they are still helping in the city?"
Cha Shuo nodded: "I also thought that after transporting the food into the city, Uncle Zhao and the others would be able to go back, but none of them left, and they continued to help Mr. Zhao."
"The chaos in the city is really quite big. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with it just with the limited manpower of the government office."
This is what Cha Shuo saw.
Mrs. Bai never spoke. Cha Shuo looked at Mr. Bai anxiously: "Chief, should we go and help?"
Bai said: "Isn't it good now? We arrested those people and found evidence..."
Cha Shuo said: "We have been in Taozhou for so many years, and we know more or less some news. Those people are not easy to deal with. Even if the government office captures Wang Hu in advance, there is no one else except Wang Hu."
Are you asking for help? What if something hard comes?"
Isn't this what happened to the village back then? Cha Shuo heard it more than once. The clan leader also said that as long as you have enough soldiers and horses in your hands, you can turn right and wrong.
Bai looked at Cha Shuo: "We all know this, but you must also understand that Zhaizi cannot come forward until the last moment. It is best not to have anything to do with Zhaizi. It is not that Zhaizi is afraid of being implicated, but that Zhaizi is afraid of being implicated.
Seizing the opportunity to cause trouble will be detrimental to the emigrants."
"Our village has too many people, and many eyes are watching from outside, always looking for opportunities to accuse us..."
"Isn't this a matter of time?" Cha Shuo said, "Even if we keep hiding, I'm afraid the people who want to deal with the village won't let us go."
Bai's expression sank, and what Cha Shuo said was absolutely correct: "Yes, but when to take action, you have to wait for the opportunity. I know that everyone gets along well with the Sixteenth Household. If something happens to the Sixteenth Household, how can we ignore it?
But if not done properly, it will bring disaster to them."
Cha Shuo vaguely understood what the patriarch meant.
Cha Shuo said: "What should we do now?"
Mrs. Bai said: "Master Zhao has made arrangements in advance and must have thought of the current situation."
After saying this, Mrs. Bai stopped. She looked at Zha Shuo for a long time and said, "I won't hide it from you. Two days ago, Mr. Zhao asked A Yang to send us a letter. It said that when something happens in the city, we just need to close our doors tightly."
Gate, don’t go out to help.”
Cha Shuo didn't expect such a thing.
Mrs. Bai said: "In the years since we have been in Taozhou, we have met many government officials who have told us to protect ourselves to avoid being plotted against. This is the first one."
Mrs. Bai heard a lot about Zhao Jingyun from A Yang, and coupled with this letter, she now really feels that Zhao Jingyun is different from those officials in the past.
She also thought carefully about it, maybe because Zhao Jingyun was from King Yu.
Bai Shi also nodded: "Since Mr. Zhao has made such an arrangement, we will first pay attention to the situation in the city."
Cha Shuo understood everything.
Mrs. Bai continued: "You choose four or five people to go out of the village with you. If something really changes, someone will come back to deliver the message. You can also help Ayang and the others."
If too many people go there, others will notice it. Besides, for such a big event, more than a dozen people are useless. If it really gets big, you will have to bring more people there.
Cha Shuo nodded.
Cha Shuo responded and retreated. Bai looked at Mrs. Bai and said, "The soldiers and horses in Zhao Jingyun's hands are hard to compete with those of the Feng family."
Mrs. Bai naturally knows.
Bai continued: "I wonder if the officials from Beijing will reach out to help after seeing this?"
Those who came were from the Tai Tu's party. This old lady Bai had already inquired about the news in advance, and Zhao Jingyun's letter to her also made it very clear.
The Taifu's party supports the emperor, which seems to be much better than the Feng family. In recent years, in addition to the Feng family, there are also people from the Taifu who have tried to open the gate of the village, but Bai and Mrs. Bai ignored them.
Mrs. Bai said, "I just happened to take a closer look this time."
"Actually, you already know the result," Bai said. "It's not like you haven't seen the Tutors before. Their words are always nicer than their actions. Such people are sometimes worse than the Feng family."
Giving you hope, but stabbing you in the back, this is something Bai and Mrs. Bai have personally experienced, so now they will not trust others easily.
Mrs. Bai didn't respond.
Bai continued: "It seems that you really like those people in Ah Yang, otherwise you wouldn't be so worried about them. You are afraid that Zhao Jingyun will not be reliable at the critical moment, and they will lose their lives."
Mrs. Bai picked up the tea and took a sip. Her eyes were far away: "The one who can be relied on is not Zhao Jingyun."
Bai's face showed some confusion.
Mrs. Bai said: "It's the person behind Zhao Jingyun."
For example, King Yu.
Zhao Jingyun told her the news that officials from Beijing were coming to Taozhou, and also explained the identities of the two officials. Not only did they want to send her a letter, but they also hinted that the people behind Zhao Jingyun were still there.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Jingyun know this?
As long as we think of this possibility and go back a bit, we can understand why Sun Jihui was arrested. King Yu might not be dead, but was hiding in the dark.
…
Old Mrs. Yang looked at the women brought out from the Ding family. Although the clothes they wore were pretty good, a closer look revealed that they were all covered in injuries, similar to those who had been rescued from the bandits. Their faces were full of fear and they had left their hometowns.
, coupled with being locked up and tortured, my spirit was almost broken.
"Oh, they are all beasts in human skin."
Xie Chen didn't know what to say. This place is close to Xifan, so there must be people doing shady things. Now that I see these people with my own eyes, I just feel cold in my heart.
Xie Chen was looking at the situation of the Ding family and didn't realize that someone was squeezing through the crowd and getting closer to him.
