Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 250 Married Daughter
"I just said that this gang of Ming soldiers is not easy to mess with. If you don't listen to me, you just don't listen to me. It's okay now, and you lost your life.

In my opinion, it is reasonable to run for your life as soon as possible. If you are caught up by this group of people, you will definitely die. "The bearded man looked at the fleeing thieves, grabbed a knife, and fled to the distance with a few cronies.

Baihu looked at the fleeing thieves, and did not let anyone chase them. After all, escorting refugees was the real business.

When Zhou Laoqi brought more than 100 soldiers to meet him, this hundred households were only less than [-] miles away from Pingyang Mansion.

I didn't encounter any special situation in the last fifty miles, and it was relatively stable on the whole.

When this group of people returned to Pingyang Mansion, the more than 1 refugees were arranged outside Pingyang Mansion by Zhou Laoliu.

Now the entire Pingyang Mansion is full of refugees, and they can only be arranged outside.

However, with the increasing number of refugees, there are more security problems in Pingyang Mansion.

Gao Pingyang, the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture, was lying on a reclining chair under the shade of a tree in the backyard of the Yamen, holding a cattail fan in his hand, listening to his concubine singing a ditty.

His little concubine was bought by the Qinhuai River when he was an official in Jinling. Because he is proficient in pen and ink and can sing ditties, no matter where he is an official, he will always bring this little concubine with him.

Gao Pingyang listened to the little song sung by the concubine, shaking his head non-stop, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Just when he was listening most happily, a middle-aged man in a green official uniform rushed in.

This person is a subordinate official of the magistrate of Pingyang Prefecture, Guo Zhengran, an official of the eighth rank, the experience department of Pingyang Prefecture.

Guo Zhengran looked at Gao Pingyang, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, looking leisurely and leisurely, and said anxiously: "My good lord, now we have an influx of refugees in Pingyang Mansion, and the public security issues in the mansion are all serious." I don’t know what has become, it’s all because of that army, my lord, don’t you care?”

Gao Pingyang lay on the recliner, glanced at Guo Zhengran lightly, and said jokingly: "Oh, don't care? Why don't you? Don't you look at who is behind them? Are the people behind them that we can fight against? Don't you want to I still want to live, let me tell you, you'd better not interfere in this matter, otherwise, your death will definitely be extremely ugly."

"My lord, I know Xuanzhen is behind this army, but this is not his Xuanzhen, this is Pingyang Mansion, is it possible that we still have to let them go?

It is a capital offense to mobilize the army for no reason. As long as we write a letter to impeach them, His Majesty will definitely be on our side when the time comes.What's more, the general of Xuanzhen is just a military officer, but my lord is a civil servant. "

Guo Zhengran was still a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, to write a letter to impeach them? You have a good idea. You are an official of the eighth grade sesame and mung bean. What qualifications do you have to write a letter to His Majesty?
Besides, although the chief soldier of Xuanzhen is a military officer, is this military officer an ordinary military officer?Not to mention anything else, just because he broke the siege of the capital, even if ten of us are tied together, there is no way to impeach him.

Besides, I still want to live for a few more years, I don’t want to care about these things. It’s not like you didn’t know when the Shanxi merchants were destroyed. This group of people is not easy to get along with. I advise you to cancel it. Think about it. "Gao Pingyang stood up from the reclining chair, picked up the teacup on the table next to him, took a sip, then hugged the concubine who was standing next to him singing a ditty, and walked towards the back.

Guo Zhengran looked at Gao Pingyang who was going later, and hurriedly said: "My lord, now the entire Pingyang mansion has been occupied by refugees, and many gentry in the city are very dissatisfied with this. I think your lord should make a plan earlier."

Gao Pingyang stopped, looked at Guo Zhengran, and sneered, "Gentleman? Gentleman is nothing, it's not like this group of people has never killed a gentleman. I'm trying to persuade you one last time, you'd better leave this matter alone, otherwise, Your head is not enough to cut off."

After Gao Pingyang finished speaking, he hugged his concubine and walked towards the back, never talking to Guo Zhengran again.

Guo Zhengran stood alone, looked at Gao Pingyang who was leaving, heaved a long sigh, then shook his head, and walked outside.

When he returned to his home, a few gentlemen in T-shirts and world peace crowns sat outside the hall of his home, looked at Guo Zhengran who walked in from outside, and asked slowly: "What's the matter?" ? The magistrate doesn’t care about this matter now?”

Guo Zhengran shook his head and said helplessly, "The magistrate doesn't want to get involved in this matter, and he advised me not to care about these matters. He told me that the army stationed in our Pingyang mansion is simply not something we can deal with."

A middle-aged gentry over fifty years old looked at the helpless Guo Zhengran, and said slowly: "Master Zhifu really said that? But now this Pingyang Prefecture has almost become a world of refugees. These refugees, what do you think?" They are pitiful, they are pitiful, but there are some ruffians among them.

The food and vegetables my family grows outside the city are almost destroyed by these people.The rogues among these refugees are simply too useless. The vegetables grown in my house are about to mature, so they were pulled out by these dogs. "

"You're okay, it's just that some crops have been lost. My family is miserable. A few days ago, my daughter took a few servant girls to go shopping on the street, but they met some local ruffians. They coveted my daughter's She is beautiful, so she went up to tease her, my daughter is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she has been crying at home for the past few days, how will she get married after this?"

"You guys are pretty good. Last night in the middle of the night, thieves broke into my house and turned my front yard upside down. If the servants hadn't gone out in time, I'm afraid I would have lost a lot of things."

Everyone in the hall accused each other of the crimes of the rogues among the refugees.

Although these refugees are basically honest peasants, there are also some green-skinned hooligans among them.

After these people entered Pingyang Mansion, it was like a fish swimming in water, causing chaos in the entire Pingyang Mansion.

Guo Zhengran looked at these people and said helplessly: "I can understand what you said, but the magistrate doesn't listen to us at all. If it wasn't for the troops in the city, how could there be so many refugees in Pingyang Prefecture? Speaking of which, it's all the fault of these troops, if it wasn't for them, how could this kind of thing happen to our Pingyang Mansion?"

"My lord, what do you think we should do? Now that even the magistrate doesn't care, I'm afraid the few of us are even more useless?"

"Yes, yes, the magistrates are afraid of them. It seems that we have nothing to do."

For a moment, the sound of moans and sighs resounded throughout the hall.

"I think, why don't we go to them directly, we must ask them for an explanation."

"Yes, you are right. I think it is better for us to go together and go directly to their camp. I still don't believe it. These soldiers dare to kill us."

Under the leadership of someone, the gentry and common people in the hall shouted that they would go to Zhou Lao Liu for an explanation.

Guo Zhengran looked at the people in the hall, heaved a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Since you have all decided to go to ask for an explanation, then I can't just let it go, so I decided to go with you."

Under the leadership of Guo Zhengran, this group of people headed for Zhou Laoliu's residence in a mighty way.

At this time, Zhou Laoliu was staying at the back of the station, dealing with some matters, when suddenly a soldier rushed in from outside.

"My lord, it's not good. There are many people outside our garrison, and they are clamoring for us to give an explanation." The soldier looked at Zhou Lao Liu and said anxiously.

Zhou Laoliu was taken aback, and then asked: "What are these people doing, and what do you want to say?"

"They wanted to tell the grown-ups themselves, so they didn't tell the villains what they wanted to say."

Zhou Laoliu frowned, and then headed outside with a few guards.

When Zhou Lao Liu came outside the station, dozens of people had already surrounded the whole station, most of these people were gentry outsiders in green shirts. They looked at Zhou Lao Liu who walked out, and fell silent for an instant.

Guo Zhengran looked at Zhou Laoliu who came out, adjusted his official uniform, and then walked towards Zhou Laoliu.

"My lord, it's a good thing for you to gather refugees. We also support them with both hands and feet, but can you take care of these refugees?" Guo Zhengran looked at Zhou Lao Liu and said melancholy.

Zhou Laoliu looked at Guo Zhengran, and asked with some doubts: "What did you say? Why didn't I understand?"

Zhou Laoliu usually focused on how to collect and transport refugees, and he didn't pay attention to what the scum among these refugees was doing.

Therefore, Zhou Laoliu was not very clear about what these hooligans among the refugees were doing.

Guo Zhengran looked at the bewildered Zhou Laoliu, heaved a sigh of relief, and explained slowly.

After a while, Zhou Laoliu suddenly realized: "You talk about this matter, I can guarantee you this matter, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.

In a few days, we will send a batch of these refugees away from the city, and we will send all these refugees away one after another in the future, "

"Is what you said true? Are you kidding me?" Guo Zhengran looked at Zhou Laoliu with hesitation.

This person is really easy to talk to, and the promise is too simple, there should be no fraud in it, right?
On the way here, Guo Zhengran was already prepared to fail, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so talkative.

Zhou Laoliu looked at Guo Zhengran with a look of disbelief, patted his chest and said, "My Zhou Laoliu said that one is one and two is two, and spitting is nails. What do you not believe?"

"If that's the case, then I won't bother this lord." Guo Zhengran cupped his hands at Zhou Laoliu, then turned and left. When he left, he also took those gentry away.

In fact, since Zhou Laoliu entered Pingyang Mansion, Zhou Laoliu has rarely dealt with these gentry.

Although Zhou Lao Liu and the people brought by Zhou Lao Liu looked fierce and hard to talk, in fact, they were very easy to talk to.

As long as what you say is reasonable, you will still listen.After all, Zhou Laoliu now represents Zhao Wen, so we must always pay attention to the influence.

Another one is that the number of people in the hands of Zhou Laoliu is too small, and the places that can be managed on weekdays are really limited, so it is not surprising that this kind of thing happens.

After Guo Zhengran led the gentry away completely, Zhou Laoliu looked at the direction in which they disappeared, shook his head slightly, and headed towards the station again.

"Brother Zhou!"

At this moment, Liu Changfu's uncle Liu Wenqing came hurriedly in a sedan chair.

When he saw Zhou Laoliu who was about to turn around and go back as soon as he got off the sedan chair, he hurriedly called out.

Zhou Lao Liu turned his head and saw that it was Liu Wenqing, so he stopped immediately.

"How come Yuanwai Liu has time to come to my place today?" Zhou Laoliu looked at Liu Wenqing and asked with a smile on his face.

Liu Wenqing's help to Zhou Laoliu is not small, and the camp where they are stationed now is still the land of Liu Wenqing's family.

And every once in a while, some rice, noodles, wine and meat would be brought over, so Zhou Lao Liu had a good impression of Liu Wenqing.

Liu Wenqing walked up to Zhou Laoliu, cupped his hands at Zhou Laoliu, and said, "I heard that some gentry who don't have long eyes came to trouble your lord, why didn't I see it?"

"It's not a trouble, just some people came to me to ask some things." Zhou Laoliu looked at Liu Wenqing with a puzzled face, and couldn't help saying: "You are quite well-informed? How long has it been, you will know ?”

Liu Wenqing sighed and said: "Oh, what is the psychic or not, it's just that they notified me before and wanted to invite me to go with them, saying that they would come to trouble you.

I originally wanted to persuade them, but I was delayed by some things, so I came late and didn't catch up.

If I catch up, I will definitely scold them.What adults do is a great thing for the country and the people, how can these people be allowed to slander it? "

Zhou Lao Liu waved his hand and said slowly: "Why don't you put a high hat on me, do you have anything else to do with me? If not, I'll go back first?"

Liu Wenqing looked at Zhou Lao Liu who was about to go back, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I really have something to do with you, but it's not a big deal."

"Speak up if you have something to say." Zhou Laoliu said impatiently.

Liu Wenqing cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I just want to ask, is Brother Zhou still married?"

When Zhou Lao Liu heard this, his face turned red in an instant. Zhou Lao Liu is only 27 or [-] now. Before that, his family was poor and no one wanted to marry him.

Now he is a thousand households under Zhao Wen, and his own conditions are higher, so he has a higher opinion of others. He looked down on him before, and now he looks down on him, so that he is still a bachelor.

Liu Wenqing is a fine person, when he saw Zhou Lao Liu's expression, why couldn't he see clearly?

Liu Wenqing cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I have a daughter, who is the daughter of the first wife, and now Fang is sixteen, which is the age of Dou Kou. I don't know if Brother Zhou is still willing?"

"I said Liu Liu Liu Yuanwai, what are you doing? How can you protect me as a matchmaker?" Zhou Laoliu pointed at Liu Wenqing, his face flushed, and he stammered.
