Old man Qi took two old men and an old lady to his yard to chat and chat about Beijing, a place they had only heard of in their lives.
But before the buttocks of the old man and old lady got hot, Qi Baoer had already hurried over.
It's not that the people around her are so capable and can find out things clearly by just squinting for a while, but because of Piaozai.
Qi Bao'er didn't bring Piaozai with him to the capital this time. He was quite resistant to the capital. When he heard that he was going to the capital, his head shook like an ethereal rattle.
After Piaozai had Qi Bao'er put a mark of Hades on him, he now doesn't have to worry about being bullied by other Piao wherever he goes. Instead, other Piao are afraid of the aura he carries.
I guess it was because I had to be trapped in Sanhe Town for too long before. This girl has been such a wanderer since arriving in Qijia Village. I can't see his ghost at all on weekdays.
It just so happened that Bao'er was not at home and no one could take care of him. With his childish nature, he would join in wherever there was excitement.
He knew that Qi Yushan was getting married and had followed her throughout the process.
On the night of New Year's Eve, he heard that there were dragon and lion dances in Jiuchang Town, which were very lively. How could he be without Piaozai when there was such excitement? He was so happy that he went away.
After arriving in Jiuchang Town, he remembered again that there was a girl here who had married from Qijia Village.
At that time, the dragon and lion dances had not yet started, so Piao Zai decided to go to Feng Mansion to see Qi Yushan. After all, she was from the same village as her master.
Well, he just wanted to see how old the old man Qi Yushan married was whom the villagers often talked about.
Then he saw that Qi Yushan, who was celebrating the New Year, was locked in the woodshed with injuries all over her body.
He didn't have much sympathy, and he didn't want to vent his anger on others. Qi Yushan was not popular in the village, and Piao Zai didn't like her either.
Just out of curiosity.
Why?
Didn’t he spend a hundred taels of silver to marry her?
Piao Zai no longer even went to watch the dragon and lion dances, but listened everywhere in Feng's house.
How should I put it, after the whole incident, the most pitiful and innocent person was Qi Yushan, who was once the most disgusted by the villagers.
Feng Yuanwai had a special hobby when it came to matters between men and women. Before he married his wife, Mrs. Wei, he had already tortured several of his first-in-law girls to death.
There is a world of difference between the Feng family and the Wei family, and the Wei family is a shrewd woman, so after marrying the Wei family, Feng Yuanwai did not dare to be dishonest, not only did he not dare to indulge himself, he did not even dare to accept a concubine.
Until Feng Yuanwai was already in his early fifties, Wei died of illness.
After being suppressed for most of his life, no one can finally control him anymore. It's like a volcano erupting.
In just six months, there were seven people in the Feng Mansion who were known to be concubines.
It's nonsense to ask whether the richest man in Jiuchang Town cares about it. Here in this world, it's as normal for men to have concubines as it is to eat. The men of the Wei family all have their own wives and concubines. How can I blame Yuan Feng?
?
What's more, Feng Yuanwai respected his legitimate wife enough, but Wei only gave birth to a daughter for Feng Yuanwai, and the daughter was still a fool. In this case, Feng Yuanwai had already waited until Wei's death before he started taking concubines, and that was just concubinage.
It's not a continuation, it's enough to give the Wei family dignity.
What they didn't know was that Yuan Feng had more than just the concubines he openly accepted. Every three days, the back door of the house would be opened, and corpses that had been tortured to the point of being transformed into human beings would be taken out.
"There have been droughts in the north and floods in the south for three years. There are countless victims in both the north and the south. The number of people that can be accommodated in each place is limited. There are also many refugees who are unable to leave their homeland. Although they have fled due to the disaster, they are not willing to settle in other places."
Qi Baoer knew this, as Judge Lu Tong had chatted with her, and it was still a big problem for the court.
For the common people, their hometown has a status comparable to any other place. As long as conditions permit, they prefer to live in the place where they were born and raised.
Familiar neighbors, familiar environment, and shared language.
It is not difficult to understand that not all refugees who have fled their hometowns have the luck of Qijia Village and can form a village of their own.
The vast majority of people, even if they fled from one village or even several villages together, had to be separated and sent to different villages if they wanted to settle down in a place that could accommodate them.
At that time, you will be a migrant, and you will not understand the language with the villagers. You will not be able to do anything good in the village, and there will be no one to help you when you are bullied, etc.
This is because the villagers in the village where I settled are all kind-hearted. If I encounter such unscrupulous people, I may escape safely, but my bones will be torn apart after I settle in.
Therefore, many refugees who had to flee due to disasters will return to their hometowns after the disaster has passed.
Since they are going back in the future, naturally they cannot be allowed to settle down.
But the court couldn't let them wander around as refugees.
Therefore, each major city has a department called the Reception Department, which specializes in taking in these refugees, and houses will be built in the city to house these victims.
However, the imperial court will not support them in vain. It will unite with wealthy businessmen in the city to find jobs for them, so that they can support themselves with the wages, and many of them can also earn money for their travel expenses.
Piaozai: "Those girls who were harmed by Feng Yuanwai were all disaster victims that Feng Yuanwai bought from the shelter department."
Some people are diligent and some are lazy, some are good and some are bad, some are kind and some are excellent.
Whenever the shelter department is activated, there will be a lot of people taking out food from there.
Some people really can't survive and are selling their own way of survival.
Some favored boys over girls and sold female babies to raise male babies.
Some of them are purely because other people offer high prices and they are attracted by the money.
As for those people whose household registrations are still in place and are being sold, if they are sold to people with conscience and they go to the government to change their household registrations in a serious manner, their life and death will be guaranteed.
But if it was just a private transaction between the two parties, no one would even know about it.
There are many dangers on the way to escape, and it is normal for people to disappear halfway.
Because of this, no one knew anything about Yuanwai Feng.
Qi Yushan is purely an accident caused by Feng’s ignorance.
Perhaps because he had done too many evil things, Feng Yuanwai believed very much in the theory of ghosts and gods.
Half a year ago, a traveling monk passed by Jiuchang Town. He happened to meet Feng Yuanwai on the street. As soon as he met, he said that he was haunted by an evil spirit, so his son was in trouble. His only daughter was also retaliated by an evil spirit. You will become a fool.
Member Feng thought about it, oh, it's really possible.
He always feels cold on his body, even in the dog days of summer, he has to wear autumn clothes.
Although Mrs. Wei only gave birth to a daughter for him, she had been pregnant with several children, but she was always aborted unexpectedly.
My daughter was also very cute when she was little. The reason why she was so stupid was that she fell down and hit her head for no reason, and she became stupid just by touching someone.
The more Feng Yuanwai thought about it, the more frightened he became. After all, not only had he killed many girls because of his hobby, he was also no better to the servants and tenant farmers in the village, and he had thrown several mass graves.
Was one of those people hiding him and seeking revenge?
He was afraid that he would be harmed by Piao, and he was also afraid that he would have no future.
