Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 173 Sudden Escalation
When Sun Ji happened in Taozhou, the government office was in chaos, not only to deal with the military chaos caused by Sun Ji, but also to resettle the civilians who were forced into military households.

On weekdays, if a corpse is found, it may be investigated immediately, but now the government office can't take care of it for the time being, so it can only ask Zhao Xueli and Li Zheng to make a clerk first, and will come to inquire again if there is something to do in the future.

Seeing that the clerks in the government office were about to leave, Zhao Luoyang followed Zhao Xueli and sent them out.

"My lord," Zhao Luoyang said, "The clothes on the corpse are not the same as ours. I heard from the villagers that they are from the village?"

This was originally said by Mrs. Song, but Zhao Luoyang didn't want to reveal too much. When there was a murder case, the former villagers of Fengxia Village would inevitably discuss it, and it was not uncommon to mention these things.

The clerk nodded: "Yes, there is a stockade thirty miles to the northwest from here. I will send someone to the stockade tomorrow to see if anyone is lost."

Mentioning this, the civil official went on to say: "If someone in the village hears about it and comes to ask you, all you have to do is say that the government office has come to check, and if there is anything to ask them to go to the government office to ask, the people in the village are tough, don't Conflict with them."

Zhao Luoyang hurriedly handed over the water bag in his hand: "It's still a long way from here to the government office, take this water bag, sir!"

The clerk looked at the little girl with crooked eyes smiling, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not easy for you to settle down. You should keep these things for yourself. I often come and go here. If there is something to do, I still go to the yamen to look for me. If you're not here, go find Huang Yasi."

This clerk is Wang Yasi, and there is also a Huang Yasi in the yamen, who takes care of these trivial matters on weekdays.

Zhao Luoyang remembered.

At least if people come to the village, she can tell them that Wang Yasi has come to see it.

As soon as Wang Yasi left, Gao Lizheng led his people to the East Village. Before leaving, he turned his head to see that the village on the west side was filled with cooking smoke.

So fast, the firewood has been found and cooking has started.

"That group of people are quite capable," said the villager next to them. "Just picked up water a dozen times, and they didn't stop once."

Gao Lizheng nodded: "That's good, don't catch the disease on the road and spread it to the village, tell them tomorrow, you can only come to fetch water in the late afternoon, and don't come to the east on weekdays."

……

Luo Zhenniang and Ge Shi tidied up a house in the courtyard where the Zhao family stayed. They simply built a stove with stones and clods, and lit a fire.

Zhao Yuanbao leaned against the fire to warm his hands.

Geshi instructed: "Be careful, don't set your clothes on fire."

Zhao Yuanbao nodded, his hair and clothes smelled a bit toasted, but he was still reluctant to leave, it was really too cold outside, it was very comfortable to stay here.

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Yang were still busy in the house. There was no kang in the house, so they pressed the straw they brought on the ground and spread some mattresses.

Mrs. Yang put her precious mattress on top and spread it around, she felt that her mattress was the warmest.

Song Taiye and Song Er lived in the same yard with the Zhao family first, in the next room, which was also convenient for them to take care of.

"Fourth, why haven't they come back?" Mrs. Yang looked out at the darkening sky.

Those who fetched water and those who went to the yamen came back, and only Zhao Xueyi and those who went to find logs and firewood were missing.

Luo Zhenniang brought hot water to Old Madam Yang: "Xueli and Xuejing are out to meet you, it should be soon."

It's really not good without wood to seal the windows, and the wind is constantly pouring in.

After taking a sip of water, Mrs. Yang felt warmer: "Wait a little longer, maybe you can't find any wood around, so you have to go far."

While talking, I heard footsteps outside.

Zhao Yuanrang in the yard said: "Father and the others are back, Fourth Uncle seems to be injured."

When Mrs. Yang and the others heard this, their expressions changed, and they went out together to see the situation.

Zhao Xueyi walked in with the help of Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhao Xueyi said hurriedly, "It's just that I sprained my foot at the foot of the mountain."

Hearing this, the Zhao family was relieved.

Who knows that Shi Ping next to him said: "Where is the sprained foot, the fourth uncle almost fell from the middle of the mountain to chop down trees."

"Ah?" Ge Shi's face changed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Zhao Xueyi, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to go too far, why did you go up the mountain?"

Zhao Xueyi was supported to sit on the meadow, and his frown was loosened a little. The injury on his foot was really painful. Thanks to him taking the two and a half sons of the Niu family and the Shi family with him, otherwise he would not know what to do. will come.

Zhao Xueyi said: "I couldn't find any logs nearby, so I went all the way up the mountain."

Zhao Luoyang squatted down to look at Fourth Uncle's legs, his legs were covered in bruises, it was obvious that he had fallen hard, but luckily no bones were injured.

Hearing that the bones were fine, Ge Shi was a little relieved, and went to fetch water for Zhao Xueyi to clean up.

Shi Ping said: "Don't say there is no wood, there is no firewood either. It seems that we were all chopped down before we arrived."

Feng Laosan also said: "It should be that they knew that there were immigrants coming, so they collected all the usable things around in advance. I think the piles of firewood in the East Village are very high."

"You can't blame others. Who told others to come first? Anyone else might do the same. You have to take care of yourself first."

Zhao Xueyi said: "It's okay, when the sun rises, I'll take the two boys to go further away. Such a big place can't be taken away. At most, we can go farther away."

Shi Ping said: "It's also thanks to Uncle Zhao, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get such a long piece of wood. Dividing that piece of wood into pieces can cover many windows."

Zhao Xueyi showed a naive smile: "It's dark, it's inconvenient, if I'm not in a hurry, I can't get hurt."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xueyi looked at Feng Laosan: "Go and pack up the wood and send it to each family, so that everyone can spend the night."

No matter how many things you bring back, such a point will not be enough.Zhao Xueli said: "I'll go and have a look. If it doesn't work, I'll save you a few rooms, and squeeze a few more people into each room."

Feng Laosan was also quick in his work, so he fixed the windows of Zhao's house and Mr. Song's first.

The windows didn't leak air, and the room became warm immediately.

Zhao Yuanbao lay on the mattress with a strand of burnt hair on his back, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Finally at this moment, everyone can take a rest.

"The first day is definitely not easy," Zhao Xuejing said. "It will get better and better in the future. Tomorrow, I will go to the city with my eldest brother to see if we can buy some bricks. Even if we can't buy blue bricks, there should be earth bricks. Get some stones, strengthen the house, and put up the wall."

Mr. Song was also invited into the room to speak.

Hearing what Zhao Xuejing said, he nodded: "Not to mention anything else, the house and the walls have to be repaired earlier, and I have some money here, let Song Er follow you into the city tomorrow."

Zhao Luoyang looked at Mr. Song in surprise.

Mr. Song's eyes widened immediately after being stared at by the little fox. What's wrong?Is it strange for him to come out with money?
Silver can't be used for practical purposes?He had seen the experience of the ancestors of the Song family more than once. If they hadn't spent too much money, the Song family would not have been so defeated.

"Sir," Zhao Luoyang said with a smile, "I have some money in my hand, and I still have some left over to buy eggs and polished rice for you. You don't have to ask Second Master Song to buy them tomorrow, I will buy them for you."

Eggs and polished rice again.Why did Grandpa Song feel that the little fox's filial piety came with bad intentions?
Is this preventing him from buying, or preventing him from buying from the market?
The old and the young bicker when they have nothing to do, and everyone doesn't care if they watch too much, and let them have fun.

While speaking, everyone smelled a fragrant smell.

Luo Zhenniang and Tao Shi came in with cooked meals.

Mr. Song shrugged his nose, then glanced at Zhao Luoyang, the little fox stuffed it with meat!
"How much jerky is this?" Mrs. Yang said first, "You can smell it from ten miles away."

Luo Zhenniang smiled and said: "Sister Luo let it go, and finally went to the place, so I don't have to eat something good, besides, we are so close to the city, we can buy everything we need."

She agrees with Sister Luo on this point, and she saw that Sister Luo also sent some dried meat to the sixteen households. Although there are not many, it can always be a taste.

Although Mrs. Yang felt distressed, she also felt that what the second daughter-in-law said made sense.If you are full and sleep well, you will be able to continue to be busy tomorrow, and there are still many things to do.

Everyone ate together, hot water was boiled in the kitchen, and everyone washed their faces vigorously. There is not much water at the moment, so they can't take a bath. They can only wait until tomorrow to buy something to hold the water and get enough firewood. The family will clean up again.

After such a busy day, it was night.

The female relatives all rested, and Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing took a few people to wander outside.

There is no fence, so you can't just rest without doing anything, and it will be bad if someone comes in.There are still animals tied up outside, and if there are wolves or something, it will be a disaster for the animals.

The men from the sixteen households took turns to watch the night, so that they could feel more at ease.

Zhao Luoyang lay down, and discussed with Shi Jiu what to exchange: "Exchange [-] catties of rice, I am optimistic about it, first hide it in the next room, my grandma asked, and said it was given by Mrs. Song, and there are compressed biscuits Foods such as dried meat, cheese, and so on, now have a place to hide, and they need to be replaced. The medicinal materials in the system also need to be replaced, and some of the anesthesia injections and veterinary medicines must be brought in."

Zhao Luoyang thought it over. If there is something in the system, you have to prepare something that can be exchanged, especially medicine and food.

After hiding these things tomorrow, she can upgrade the system.

By the way, I have to read the local chronicles.

After thinking about this, Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu: I'm going to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

He fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to Zhao Luoyang's breathing, Shi Jiu knew that she was asleep. She had thought so much and prepared so many things, so she didn't ask him if he didn't know about the system upgrade, is he still there?
ungrateful.

It is not as good as the previous Xiaojiao.

Shi Jiu wanted to immerse himself in the system and help Zhao Luoyang read the books in the charm value exchange area.

When Shi Jiu was reading a book, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the system, and everything around him blurred like watermarks, and then he saw the charm value.

[Charm value +4]

[Charm value +4]

……

In the middle of the night, the charm value suddenly increased.

He was about to wake up Zhao Luoyang, when his eyes suddenly blurred, and when he came back to his senses, the charm value had reached 1000 points.
