Both father and daughter sat up straight and serious, as if they wanted to listen carefully.
However, the old man Qi was silent for a while before he let out a long sigh. This breath was like all the energy he had held up had been released from his sigh, and his whole body slumped.
"Ever since I received the imperial edict last night, I have been thinking about why the emperor wants to make you a general, and why is it our turn to be responsible for the earthquake disaster?"
"Later, I thought about it and understood that the Emperor really cares about us being good.
Our family's family background is too low. We were born in a peasant family, and for generations we have never had a single person with great potential.
It’s true that Guaiguai has the ability to be made the princess, but the more this happens, the more our family will hinder Guaiguai, or at least become a reason for others to criticize Guaiguai.
During the few days in Beijing, I heard a lot of things about Guaiguai's family background. I think some of these words should have reached the ears of the emperor.
So the emperor is trying to think of ways to improve our family's status. Boss, you are an obedient father, so you are the most suitable one."
Find a reason to be a fifth-grade general first. The first task you take is to escort earthquake disaster food and escort refugees in parallel. This is said to be one task, but it is actually two tasks. Once completed, the tasks will be two achievements.
Especially now that the disaster situation in the south is serious, and countless victims are constantly pouring into the capital. Whoever can handle the earthquake disaster well at this time will not only be a great achievement, but also have a higher reputation among the people.
"As for the matter of me obediently becoming the earthquake disaster official, I guess it is the result of the officials in the DPRK and China trying to pass each other off."
Qi Kang'an and Qi Bao'er both looked at Old Qi suspiciously, not that they didn't understand what he meant by these words, but they were surprised that Old Qi could guess this.
They think so too, and know better.
"The plague is rampant in the south due to flooding. Even ordinary people like us are aware of this matter. It is impossible for the officials in the DPRK to be unaware of it."
It is true that everyone is afraid of death. The bigger the official position, the more afraid of death. Everyone will definitely find a way to avoid going to the south to be an earthquake disaster messenger.
The father and daughter watched as the old man Qi was about to guess the truth and falsehood by guessing, and they immediately nodded with a learned 'hmm' without any discussion.
Old man Qi saw that the two fathers and daughters had the same expressions of "You're right", and what he was about to say was choked back in his stomach.
He is such a worry-taker. These two are teasing him as if he were a child. It is obvious that they are hiding something from him.
Roll, roll, roll, roll, you bastard.
-
No matter how worried or unhappy the rest of the Qi family is, it's time for father and daughter Qi Kang'an and Qi Bao'er to set off.
She has become the youngest earthquake disaster survivor since the founding of the Qilin Kingdom. She has attracted so much attention that any ordinary people passing by on the road will give her admiration and pity. Qi Baoer does not care about the more arrogant one.
Back on the road, I rode Yinzai and set off openly.
Because of the majestic Yinzi, the gazes cast on Qi Baoer himself decreased a lot, and they all looked at Yinzai curiously, who was now taller than the horse.
It is estimated that the rich and powerful in the capital keep many exotic gadgets, and the common people have seen them a lot, so Qi Baoer riding a silver wolf did not cause unnecessary turmoil, and everyone just stayed away from the silver wolf.
This is not obvious yet. The large team transporting earthquake disaster food was full of well-armed soldiers, and the common people would have stayed away from them.
The earthquake disaster food had been transported outside the city the night before, and two hundred carts of food were lined up in a row as far as the eye could see.
But she couldn't leave right now, as her father took Fang Qi and the others to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to detain the refugees.
It's not bright yet, barely past five o'clock. Today, because there are refugees leaving the city, the city gate will open at five o'clock. At this time, the left and right sides of the city gate are already full of people, waiting eagerly.
.
These are relatives or friends who came to see the refugees off.
Qi Bao'er didn't come close, only watched from a distance.
The accompanying Deputy Earthquake Prince Li Jun was riding a tall horse beside him. When he saw Qi Baoer looking at the people on the left and right outside the city, he thought she didn't understand some of the hidden rules of exile. [Well, she just didn't understand.
], and leaned closer to talk to her about science in a low voice.
If someone commits a crime and is sent to prison, even his hair will be checked as soon as he enters. Not to mention hiding money on his body, and those with a strong temper can hit a pillar on the spot.
In the Qilin Kingdom, being a jailer is a low-level profession, and you will be discriminated against. No one is willing to do it unless you can't survive.
The jailer's monthly salary is also low, so he can barely talk nonsense.
Naturally, they will fish it from everywhere.
Those who can become refugees are basically those whose family members have committed serious crimes and were implicated, and their homes were ransacked together.
Things like home confiscation are basically sudden. These people who will be sent to prison have a lot of oil and water on them. Those who go to ransack their homes will first pick up the accessories they bring, but some families have already made preparations.
Yes, there were a lot of banknotes hidden in the clothes and hair. These were the jailers' earnings.
Once the guards finished scraping the prisoners, every prisoner would have nothing left, and even their pants would be stripped off in exchange for money.
As a result, wouldn't the government officials who escorted them earn nothing at all?
Hence the scene of sending off the bride at the city gate.
It not only showed benevolence and righteousness, but also brought benefits to the government officials who escorted the refugees on their way forward.
Relatives and friends will come to see the refugees off. Except for those who really have a lot of hatred and are full of food, they will come to see the fun. Basically, they have real feelings and send their relatives and friends one last time. I hope they can live a better life on the road, or at least be able to
Arrive at your destination safely.
You may not know the hidden rules in the prison, but you may know the hidden rules on the road to exile. Even if you didn't know before that your relatives and friends are about to be exiled, you will still find out.
Some people will send food and property directly to the government officials to take care of things first.
After hearing this, Qi Baoer nodded and said nothing. She would not stupidly ask why there were such dark existences in the Qilin Kingdom, which looked at the bright and bright world.
The world is like this, there are black, white and gray. Where can we find a pure white world?
The emperor is quite kind, and there is no need to show much sympathy to these people who can be exiled.
Don't talk about being implicated. When one member of a family rises, the rise of the whole family will be accompanied by the rise of the whole family. Just like the Qi clan, she didn't bother to pull it out. As long as she is from the Qi clan, the Qi clan will rise.
Everything the clan does will be much smoother than without her.
After taking advantage of the benefits, you will naturally have to bear the disadvantages if something goes wrong.
There is nothing in the world as beautiful as just taking advantage.
After waiting for about an hour, people came out one after another on horseback from the city gate.
The first one is her silly dad. Not to mention, the silly dad in general uniform looks like that, especially when he is tall and burly, with his iconic flat-headed knife on his waist.
He just looks like he's not to be trifled with.
Behind the silly dad were six Qi soldiers, including Fang Qi. Behind them were three fully loaded carriages, all driven by government officials wearing official uniforms.
Then there were the refugees who were wearing prison clothes and tied around their waists with ropes.
