Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 158 Gu county magistrate

"If you still need any tools, you can tell us and we will find a way to help borrow them." The young master agreed.

"Yes, this is my son. If I'm not here, everyone can ask him for help. We are obliged to help if we can." County Magistrate Lu nodded.

Hearing this, the villagers could not be satisfied. They all knelt down gratefully and thanked him endlessly.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Mr. Qingtian."

"Thank you sir."

Throughout the whole process, Tao Qiqi did not participate in any distribution or command. She quietly observed every move of Magistrate Qi and his son.

After watching what the county magistrate and his son did, Tao Qiqi could only sigh: people are more angry than people.

It is true that what kind of father can teach what kind of son there is.

Comparing Magistrate Tu and Magistrate Qi, they are as good as heaven and earth.

Their sons are even more incomparable.

"If our Na Tu County Magistrate had half the same heart as the Qi County Magistrate for our people, we wouldn't be in this situation now." Someone in the crowd suddenly sighed.

When Mr. Lu heard this, he asked curiously: "By the way, is your County Magistrate Tu still in Jinxiang County? Hasn't he escaped?"

When this question was asked, it was only then that someone got involved with Tao Qiqi.

"We don't know whether Magistrate Tu escaped. We were led by a young master to escape. For the sake of the villagers near Jinxiang County, the young master left his people there waiting to go. Save everyone."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Qiu immediately asked, "Then this young master is here with me."

"Here they are, just a few of them."

The refugees all pointed in the same direction, pointing to Tao Qiqi and the others.

Magistrate Lu and Mr. Lu followed the direction everyone pointed to and saw Tao Qiqi and his party.

There was only one man in this group, and the rest were women. Judging by their appearance, and there were so many people around them, the county magistrate Gu immediately guessed that this person's identity must be unusual.

"Dad, do you think Magistrate Tu didn't come? Could it be that this young master took care of him?" Young Master Qi, who also noticed something unusual, whispered in his father's ear.

"That's not certain. Otherwise, Magistrate Tu's character would make it impossible for him not to run away. Otherwise, he has already run away with his whole family."

"No, look at the two people sitting between those two girls. Are they Mrs. Tu and her daughter-in-law?"

Hearing what his son said, Magistrate Gu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "It's true. It seems that Magistrate Tu should have been disposed of."

"To be able to execute a county magistrate casually, this person may have been sent from above. But if he was sent from above, there shouldn't be women and girls, and judging from their dressing, it is obvious that their identities are different.

Two of them are ladies, and the other two standing behind are mammies.Sitting on the left and right is a young lady and a maid.Dad, do you think they are the people who were around King Pingyang before? "

"It's possible. Let's go and say hello first."

As he spoke, Luchi and his son Luchang came forward to salute Tao Qiqi, and then asked, "This is Mr. Tao."

Hearing Guchi's question, Tao Qiqi stood up and raised the corners of her mouth and replied: "It's right here."

It seems that this county magistrate is indeed unusual. At present, it seems that this county magistrate is still a good county magistrate, and he is also very smart.

Unlike the family surnamed Tu, they have no eyesight at all.

Of course, it's also to blame that Tu's nature is like that.Later, Tao Qiqi revealed her identity and didn't see him showing off, so she restrained herself.

Seeing that Tao Qiqi didn't deny her identity, Guchi and his son Guchang bowed even lower as they saluted.

Because he didn't know who was the mother of King Pingyang, Luchi could only lower his head and whispered: "I don't know that all distinguished guests are here. I am sorry that I am not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

Tao Qiqi smiled: "The county magistrate Gu has done a good job, he settled these refugees in the first place, and didn't even treat them differently because they are not ordinary people in the county.

We have seen everything done by Magistrate Lu and Young Master Lu just now. It is a blessing for the people of Changdao County to have a magistrate like you. "

Guchi lowered his head and replied: "Where, where, these are what a subordinate official should do. It's not easy for these ordinary people who are suffering. It's winter again. It's just that the subordinate officials have limited ability, and there are only so many they can help." gone."

Tao Qiqi: "You have done a good job. Nowadays, there are floods in many places in the south. Although the situation in Changdao County is better, it is not much better. The county magistrate is still generous, and it is enough to provide everyone with a hot porridge. Very good."

"By the way, I need the Magistrate Gu's help with something next time." Tao Qiqi finished speaking and looked at Gu Chi waiting for his reply.

When Luchi heard this, he raised his head and looked at Tao Qiqi and replied: "Young Master Tao, I will try my best to do whatever I can, Mr. Tao."

Tao Qiqi raised her hand: "It's not a difficult matter, but I need to borrow the county government's prison cell."

Hearing this, Yuchi looked at Mrs. Tu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between Fang Yu and Lixia.

Seems to know what this is going to do.

So he nodded: "Young Master Tao is joking, let alone the county government prison cell, even the entire county government office, Master Tao is always ready for your orders if necessary."

Tao Qiqi: "Okay, then we will go back to the county office with Magistrate Qi."

"Yes." Luchi responded with a salute.

Gu Chang on the side hurriedly said: "Then I'll go back first and arrange a few guest rooms for the distinguished guests. If the distinguished guests don't dislike them during this period, they can temporarily live in the county government office, so that they can take care of anything."

Tao Qiqi nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

"Don't bother, don't bother, then I'll go to the county government to make arrangements first." After finishing speaking, Gu Chang hurriedly turned around and rushed to the county government.

Tao Qiqi and the others waited for Magistrate Qi to make arrangements for the refugees before returning to the county office together.

At this time, people were being arranged to go up the mountain to cut down trees, while the refugees who stayed in the mud house began to plan how to build a shed.

After planning, we started digging the pit.

Even though it was drizzling in the sky, everyone did not hide and be lazy.Because only by quickly erecting the shed can everyone have a place to rest.

After Tao Qiqi returned to the county government, she put Mrs. Tu and Mrs. Tu county magistrate directly into the prison.

No matter how loud Mrs. Tu screamed, no one paid any attention to her.

It wasn't until Tao Qiqi took everyone to wash up and put on clean clothes that Tao Qiqi took her mother to the cell.

"Go and bring that old woman over." Tao Qiqi motioned to the Yamen servant to pick her up.

She and her mother sat and waited for her in a special area where prisoners were interrogated.

As soon as Mrs. Tu was brought over, Tao Qiqi said directly: "You brought an acquaintance here, let's see if you still remember."

After saying that, Tao Qiqi pulled her mother to Mrs. Tu.

Only then did Mrs. Tu look at Qi Mei seriously.

After looking at it for a long time, the more I looked, the more I felt that the person in front of me looked familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"What? Does it look familiar?" Tao Qiqi asked again.
