Chapter 51

The victims traveled long distances and finally came to Yuchang Mansion in Zhongzhou from the northwest.

After hearing the yamen's words, the victims were stunned for a while, and asked one after another, "Dear brothers, did you make a mistake? We didn't make trouble, and we didn't do anything to harm the nearby farmers, why did you drive us away? ?"

"That's right, big brother, we honestly stayed in the ruined temple, didn't steal or rob the nearby people, and even bought things from the farmers nearby with our own money, we didn't make any mistakes, why are we going to drive us away? Walk?"

"We fled the desert all the way, and many people died. We finally came to Yuchang Mansion. Now the weather has turned cold. If we leave Yuchang Mansion again, we will freeze to death on the road!"

Although Yuchang Mansion was devastated, they still had water to drink and food to eat. They no longer had to run for a sip of water and food. These few days in Yuchang Mansion were the best time for them to escape from the famine. I thought about leaving.

There are still many victims who want to settle in Yuchang Mansion.

They were looking forward to their days, but these yamen came to chase people away.

The yamen didn't care about their lives. Seeing that they kept asking questions, they immediately pulled out their sabres from their waists and pointed at the victims: "Shut up, whoever dares to make trouble, I will kill him!"

The class leader of this group of yamen servants was named Gao. Seeing that the victims were unwilling to leave, the class leader took out the handwritten letter given by the prefect, and raised the handwriting to the victims and said, "See clearly, this is the official seal of the prefect. The handwritten letter, written clearly on it, ordered you to leave the Yuchang Mansion before tonight, if you don't leave, it will not be us who will chase you, but the officers and soldiers stationed there."

Over the past few days, the prefect has been so anxious about the disaster victims that he was so anxious that he felt very unlucky. The six palaces in Zhongzhou, these damn victims didn't go anywhere, why did they come to his Yuchang residence?

With so many victims staying in Yuchang Mansion, they have to eat and drink every day. When the weather is cold, people will freeze to death. If too many people freeze to death under their own control, it will affect their political performance.

The prefect's master even reminded the prefect that there are too many disaster victims pouring into Yuchang Mansion. Even if the city gate is closed and the disaster victims are not allowed to enter, the number of disaster victims is too large, and they will rebel if they are not kept together.

This is a big matter of beheading. In any case, they cannot have the victims of rebellion in Yuchang Mansion.

Whether these victims are murdering and setting fires, or starting an uprising, in short, these things cannot happen in Yuchang Mansion, and the victims must be driven away as soon as possible.

If you want to die or rebel, go to other prefectures, don't stay in the boundaries of their Yuchang mansion.

When the prefect heard the words of the master, he was so frightened that he lost all three souls, and hurriedly ordered that all three classes of yamen should be dispatched to the outskirts of Yuchang Mansion to chase people away.

Gao Bantou and the others received a death order, and they must drive these victims away. If there are victims who don't leave, don't be polite, find an excuse and directly chop them to death.After hacking a few to death, the other victims were also afraid.

Some literate people among the disaster victims saw Gao Bantou take out the handwritten book, and then took a few steps forward, cupped his hands to Gao Bantou, and begged: "This poor gentleman, can you let me look at the contents of the handwriting. "

Gao Ban looked at the disaster victim who was talking, and saw that he was about twenty years old. Although his clothes were tattered, it was a scholar's long gown.

The victim took the handwriting and looked at it word by word. Tears welled up before he finished reading it. He knelt down and cried bitterly, "Master prefect is not giving us a way to live."

boom!

When Gao Bantou heard his words, he grabbed the handwriting in his hand, kicked him over again, and scolded: "You are courting death, the prefect can also arrange it randomly? Come on, drag him. Go aside."

"Yes." Two yamen immediately supported the victim, dragged him out of the ruined temple, and threw him to the side of the road.

Gao Bantou raised his hand and said: "I heard it, the handwriting is true, stop relying on it and leave, get out. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the officers and soldiers stationed in the suburbs tomorrow morning will come to the suburbs to search, if you don't leave , when the time comes, it will be a swordsman robbery."

Knife robbery!

When the victims heard this, their legs were so frightened that they were going to dispatch officers and soldiers to kill them.

"My God, how can this make us live?"

The victims cried bitterly, but the yamen did not care whether they lived or died. After the order was passed, Gao Pan took dozens of yamen to guard outside the ruined temple, waiting for them to leave.

The third grandmother grabbed the third grandfather's arm and asked with a sad face: "Old man, are we really going?"

The third grandfather sighed, "You can't go if you don't go."

The yamen has already come to chase people, and the class leader also said that if they don't leave tonight, the officers and soldiers will be dispatched tomorrow morning.They have seen the officers and soldiers of Yongtai Mansion kill people, and now they are very afraid of the officers and soldiers.

Gu Jinli held the other hand of the third grandmother and comforted her: "third grandma, let's go, this Yuchang mansion has also been affected, the river has stopped flowing, and there is still water in the deep well. After a while, if If it doesn't rain, and the water in the deep well can't be pumped out, the people here will have to flee the famine."

Yuchang Mansion is not suitable for settling down, so it is better for them to leave as soon as possible.

Old Qin also said: "Let's go, the prefect didn't let us enter the city from the beginning, he didn't give us a registered household registration, and he didn't give us a place to settle down. Find a place to settle down.”

Several families listened to the words of the third grandfather and Qin Lao, and then looked at the yamen guarding the ruined temple with knives. They knew that they had to leave. After a while, they began to pack their things.

Fortunately, they bought a lot of things from nearby farmers, including clothing to keep out the cold, coarse grains, water, and salt, so they can feel better when they go on the road.

As for the third grandmother and Lao Yan, their illnesses have already recovered, so they don't need to worry about them anymore, they can go all out.

After Gu Jinli's family packed up their things, they didn't leave immediately. Mr. Qin said, "The first one to leave is too much. We have a lot of things. We are not afraid of [-], but just in case, we can't provoke the eyes of these yamen."

There are still a few half-year-old girls here, all of them are quite handsome, if they are attracted by those yamen, it will be over.

After listening to Qin Lao's words, several families nodded in agreement and hid in the grass hut with their belongings and waited until some victims began to leave. They picked up their belongings, took the elderly and children, and left the ruined temple among the victims. .

During the period, Gu Jinxiu also took the ashes of the fire and touched his face, making himself so sloppy that he couldn't see clearly.After being almost sold by Lao Gu's family, she is paying attention to these things now and doesn't want to cause trouble to everyone because of herself.

Gu Jinli pulled Gu Jinxiu and followed behind Mrs Cui, walking with her head lowered.

Gu Jinan hid a hatchet in his clothes, followed behind their sisters and protected them.

This hatchet was bought after Gu Jinli broke Wu Da's tendons and hamstrings. Gu Jinan asked Gu Dashan to buy silver coins from a nearby farmer. Gu Jinan said, "If I encounter such a thing that needs to be seen in the future, I will take care of it. Brother is here."

Gu Dashan felt very guilty about this, took eight taels of silver, and followed Gu Jinan to buy two hatchet knives and two kitchen knives.The hatchet was given to himself and Gu Jinan, and the kitchen knife was given to Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu, so that they could keep their own defense.
