Here they are looking for someone in full swing, but over there Yun Miaomiao has begun to count the time. In one hour, this beginning will be over.
Pang Huzi, a person who only knows how to run rampant, couldn't imagine that they would be hiding here even if he tried hard.
Liu Ergou was covered in mud but couldn't find anyone. "They were clearly heading here, why didn't they see anyone?"
The younger brothers were also surprised, "Did they really be rescued by Grandpa Ghost?"
Liu Ergou glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense, where else can they hide except in this swamp?"
"Brother Ergou, I see there is a river next to it. Do you think they are hiding in the water?" The younger brother pointed to the underground river beside him.
"We are not willing to go down to this smelly ditch. How can they go down?" Liu Ergou cast a sidelong glance at the black and smelly ditch and mocked.
The younger brother scratched his head and said, "Now we are about to go down the mountain when we look up. We haven't found anyone yet. How should we explain to the elder brother?"
Liu Ergou pursed his lips. This damn person named Zhao was hiding so deeply.
"If I look again, I won't believe it. I can't find anyone." Liu Ergou started to search back and forth with his stick, trying not to miss any clues.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
Yun Miaomiao was dozing off when she was suddenly shocked by the sound of the bell ringing, "The exam is over!"
Magistrate Zhao's eyes were slightly moist. When the flood came, he focused on saving people. Later, when the burden of food taxes came on him, he thought about how to find ways to pay the food taxes. Now for the future of thousands of students, he truly understands
What is a heavy burden on the shoulders?
He can work hard to save people, and he can find ways to solve the food tax, but he cannot put himself in danger. There are thousands of people behind him waiting for him to shoulder this important task.
The bell rang, and people from all directions heard it. Among them, Pang Huzi and Liu Ergou both heard the sound, and their expressions darkened.
"Damn it, I have to kill the people named Zhao. Find them for me and kill them for me."
Pang Beard was so angry that he sent people searching frantically in the swamp. As soon as he saw people, they disappeared.
Qingyang and the others also woke up. Yun Miaomiao thought for a while, got up and rushed to the city gate and shouted.
"Open the door, open the door quickly. They have finished their exams and it's time to let us in. Open the door quickly."
"Open the door quickly and let us in!"
County Magistrate Zhao didn't know what Yun Miaomiao was going to do, but he shouted along with him. Seeing this, other attendants also followed suit and slapped the city gate.
Others woke up from a dream and thought that the reason why the city gate was closed was because there were many students in the city who had to take exams. Most of these people were the hope of several generations. If there was an eventuality, no one could afford this responsibility.
"Yes, Magistrate Zhao said that we can enter after the students in the city have finished their exams."
"Open the door quickly. The county magistrate promised to open the door."
With Yun Miaomiao's start, more and more people began to shout, each one with such amazing momentum that the guards in the city were startled.
Guard Wang frowned, "There are so many people outside. Even if we open the city gate, there will be no place to stay when we come in."
Others also nodded, "We haven't received any news about the county magistrate's safety, so we can't open this city gate rashly."
Just as they were struggling, a shout came from behind.
"Guard Wang, open the door."
Guard Wang and others turned around, it was Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao has changed into plain clothes and the headdress on her head has been replaced by a wooden hairpin. She looks a bit more heroic.
"Madam, why are you here?" Guard Wang walked over and saluted her, "It's not safe here. If something happens to Madam, how can we explain it to the county magistrate?"
Mrs. Zhao's sharp eyes fell on him, "My husband is the local county magistrate, and I am his married wife. Now that he is in trouble, I can't risk the future of thousands of students in the city. Now the students in the city have finished their exams.
Provincial Examination, I want you to open the city gate. It is not unreasonable. Most of the people outside are refugees with orphans and widowed mothers, and the real kidnapper of my husband is five miles outside the city. You let the outsiders in, and then open the city gate.
It’s not too late to close it.”
Guard Wang looked embarrassed, "Madam, you don't know. The people who captured you last night have dispersed. There is a ghost outside and they don't know which gods they offended. The real arrester now is Pang Huzi, who is also in the southeast corner.
In the swamp, I heard that you just entered the swamp and never came out again."
"In this case, there is no problem. I believe that God will protect my husband and nothing will happen to him. You should open the door while they are looking for someone. I will bear all the consequences."
Seeing Mrs. Zhao's insistence, Guard Wang glanced at the other guards. The other guards' faces were shaken, and they were obviously thinking of letting some people in first. If they all starved to death, they would feel even more guilty.
"Okay, I'll open the city gate. Madam, please go back as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many people watching later, and I'm afraid I'll disturb Madam." Wang Guard warned worriedly.
Mrs. Zhao went but shook her head, "No need, I remember that the Liu family had a horse farm that had been abandoned for a while. There were many houses in it. Although it was simple, it was not uninhabitable. Take all the people there.
, then I asked the servants in the mansion to send all the tents in the Yamen over there. As for food, I have already found the shopkeepers of various restaurants. They will prepare porridge and send it over. I will wait for two days until everyone is ready.
After you feel settled, you can think of other options."
It turned out that Mrs. Zhao had already made preparations, and Wang Guard's only worry was now solved, and he was instantly relieved.
Yun Miaomiao shouted so hard that her voice became hoarse. No one in the city had moved at all. She frowned. Could it be that she had to find another way?
"Squeak~"
Just when she was racking her brains to think of a better way to find the capital, the city gate opened.
"It's open, the city gate is open!"
Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. They stood at the front and naturally saw the heavily guarded guards in front of them, each holding a sword in their hand and pointing at them.
Guard Wang glanced at the people outside the city gate, with a cold expression on his face, "Don't get excited, everyone, just listen to what I have to say."
Everyone who was shouting happily just now became quiet and looked at him.
"The county magistrate has an order. After the students in the city have finished their exams, you will be released to settle in the capital. Now that the exams have been completed, you will naturally be let in. I have already prepared a place for you to stay. The conditions are natural.
It’s not that great, but it’s still good to lie down on the roadside and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so you can make a living slowly in the future, which is not bad either.”
"Now, if you have family members, please register as a family to enter the city from my right side. If you have no family members and are alone, go to the left side to register. When everyone is registered, someone will take you to the place where you will stay. Listen.
understand?"
Yun Miaomiao looked at Guard Wang, lowered her head and said to Magistrate Zhao, "This man is flexible and methodical. He is a good young man."
County Magistrate Zhao followed her gaze and noted down this person's appearance so that he could train him well in the future.
Although there were a lot of people at the city gate, there were also a lot of guards, and they were very organized. In a short time, they were all registered, and Wang Guard also closed the city gate again.
Seeing that everyone was scared and confused, Guard Wang also explained, "You must have heard that County Magistrate Zhao was arrested by the most vicious gangsters outside. If they hadn't arrested him first, you wouldn't have to stay outside the city like that.
For many days, the safety of the county magistrate is still uncertain, and we cannot take the risk of letting them come in and harm people."
"Then Magistrate Zhao is still outside, what should we do?" someone started to ask.
"The county magistrate Jiren has his own destiny, and he will definitely return safely. Those people will be punished sooner or later." After Wang Guard said this, he asked people to take the refugees to the racecourse to settle down.
Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao looked at each other and followed to the racecourse in an extremely low-key manner without disturbing anyone.
The person behind it has not yet been found out. Both Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao want to see who it is that would do such a cruel thing, not only to kill a person, but also to ruin his reputation. Their thoughts are not evil.
