Chapter 18 Blocked

The heads of households affected by the disaster hurriedly prepared their household registration papers.

The officers from the Capital Command and Envoys Division escorted the officials from the Chief Envoys Division to the victims, and checked household registrations one by one.

When it was Qin Xiaomi's turn, the smell of rotten eggs hit his face. The handsome clerk in the lead almost vomited. He took a quick look at the household registration, checked the number of people, and ran away immediately. He was so angry that he turned around and shouted. : "Find some water and wash it off, your house is the smelliest!"

It was impossible to wash, because Qin Xiaomi and the others did it deliberately... There were many evil people on the road, and Aunt Qin was pretty, so they didn't dare to close their eyes and sleep without making their bodies stink.

In order not to offend the officials, Grandpa Qin responded respectfully: "Yes, don't worry, sir, we will find water to wash away the stink."

The clerk snorted coldly and took people to check the next house. They waited until the afternoon before they were done.

Officials from the Chief Envoy climbed up and shouted: "Fan Qianhu and the others have left. From now on, you are the people of Dongming Mansion in Northeast Prefecture, and you must obey our arrangements!"

"We will plant flags later to divide the counties. You have to go to whichever county you are assigned to. If you dare to cause trouble, you will be beheaded, or your whole family will be killed!"

The officers and soldiers in the command department repeated these words three times.

“Plant flags to divide counties!”

After giving the order, the soldiers came over carrying flags and placed the flags embroidered with the names of the counties in front of the victims.

Qin Xiaomi and the others were assigned to Baofu County.

"I am Gong Zongqi from the Baofu County Military Post. Make sure you recognize my face and the flag of Baofu County. Gather to the sound of drums tomorrow morning and follow us back to Baofu County!" Gong Zongqi said without saying much. After a few words, the victims were asked to go back to their tents to rest.

But Mrs. Qin Liu disliked Mr. Gong Qi: "There are too few words. I didn't say clearly where Baofu County is... It can't be a poor ravine, right? If it were a rich county, he would have to brag about it!"

Qin Laoliu nodded after hearing this: "The old woman is right, Baofu County is so poor that even the locals are embarrassed to say it."

He hurriedly said to Jiang Dalang: "Hurry up and take Erjun and Sanjun out to find out where Baofu County is? If it is too poor, let Fifth Brother go to the adults and ask them to change us to a rich county." "

"You are really good at ordering people." Qin Xiaomi said with a bad look on his face: "The adults have said that you can go wherever you are assigned. You can't make a fuss, otherwise you will be beheaded... Besides, is my grandfather a high-ranking official? He will go If you ask, can adults change it? Why don’t you ask yourself?!"

Of course Qin Laoliu is afraid of death.

Qin Liupo put on a smile and said, "Girl Xiaomi, why are you still angry? Your sixth grandfather is also doing it for our own good."

However, Jiang Dalang said to Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, I'm going to go out and inquire. I'll know more about Baofu County, so that we can deal with it better."

Qin Xiaomi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Dalang smiled and took the second and third horses out.

The three of them went out and wandered around until dark, only inquiring about general things.

Jiang Dalang: "It is a large county not far from the capital. It is protected by Tianmang Mountain. I heard that it is a huge mountain range. If you encounter a disaster, you can go to the mountain to escape. There are also gambling houses and silver buildings in the county. , my grandpa said, a county with these two recreational areas can’t be much worse.”

In a place that is too poor, it is impossible to have silver houses and gambling houses.

"Hey, we are really lucky to be assigned to such a wealthy place!" Qin Liupo was happy and happily went to make dinner with Grandma Qin.

Qin Xiaomi took the opportunity to call Jiang Dalang to a secluded place and opened the bag Fan Qianhu gave them: "Let's divide the things into half, half for each person."

There weren't many things inside, but the most valuable ones were the famous invitations and letters of recommendation from Fan Qianhu and Dr. Shen.If you encounter difficulties, you can take these two things to the Yamen and go directly to the county magistrate for help.

However, unless King Wuxing ascends the throne, they will always be useless paper.

There are two more books.

A medical book was given to Qin Xiaomi by Dr. Shen, asking her to continue studying medicine.

A book on weapons and equipment was given to Jiang Dalang by Fan Qianhu.The rest is oil, salt, a bag of seeds, and ten taels of silver... Don't think it's too little, this is Fan Qianhu's military salary for half a year!
Jiang Dalang only took the weapons and military equipment, and smiled at her: "Xiaomi will keep the rest."

Qin Xiaomi looked at him and asked, "You really don't want it?"

Jiang Dalang shook his head: "No."

Qin Xiaomi put away the bag and left: "You don't want it, so don't blame me."

Look, she is not gentle and virtuous at all, then hate her quickly and break off the engagement with her!

But Sheng Ting felt that she was very lively and cute with such a free will... In her previous life, due to the disputes between the previous dynasty and the death of her twins in the womb, she had become sluggish and had completely lost the freshness of her teenage years. The anger of clothes and horses.

Thinking of the last life, Sheng Ting's heart hurt like a knife.

Fortunately, God showed mercy and gave them a chance to be reborn, so that he was no longer the emperor, no longer bound, and could make up for her wholeheartedly.

……

Boom boom boom!
The next day, before dawn, drums started beating, and soldiers from various counties waved flags and shouted to assemble.

The soldiers and horses of General Gong's banner were also shouting: "Baofu County people, Baofu County people, come out and gather quickly, we are about to set off!"

Grandpa Qin hurriedly took everyone out to gather. After a period of chaos, they were finally able to set off.

"Hurry up and get to Baofu County as soon as possible so that you can open up wasteland and plant food as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you miss the farming season, you will suffer from famine again!" Along the way, General Gong Qi shouted from time to time to drive the victims away.

Northeastern Prefecture is a vast territory. After traveling for half a month, they finally arrived in Baofu County in early March.

Unable to enter the county seat, we had to camp outside the county.

General Gong Qi said: "Tomorrow the county government will come and divide the villages for you. You can just follow the government officials, and I won't go with you!"

The next day, people from the county government came to divide the villages into villages. Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family were assigned to Kaihe Village in Taifeng Town.

The head of the yamen team shouted: "Come and gather with us from Taifeng Town. When you get to the town, the village chief will take you to the village. After you are settled, the village chief will take you to the county yamen to change your household registration!"

The victims hurried to gather. More than a quarter of an hour later, they followed the yamen team leader and rushed to Taifeng Town... They walked on foot and arrived at Taifeng Town in the middle of the afternoon.

But no village chief came to take them back to the village, and the people in the town still stared at them warily.

"Team leader Zhou, why didn't the village chiefs come to pick me up?" Chen Xiaoqi from the Division of Soldiers asked.

Team leader Zhou said: "How do I know this?"

"You are from Taifeng Town, the village chief of the Zhou family, or your uncle. How could you not know what is going on here?" Chen Xiaoqi was a real person and said this directly.

Team Leader Zhou's expression was ugly and he said, "Since Chen Xiaoqi doubts me, I will personally lead you to the village to have a look."

Chen Xiaoqi didn't play tricks with him and said directly: "Let's go now!"

Team leader Zhou was very angry, but he had already said the words, so he could only suppress his anger and rush to the village with the victims.

It wasn't until dark that we reached the main road of several villages and saw a large field of torch light in the distance.

Chen Xiaoqi said happily: "The places with the fire are Kaihe Village, Zhoujia Village, Niutoupo Village, and Shiliu Village. I guess the villagers knew you were coming and came here to pick you up!"

However, Chen Xiaoqi was too happy too early. The villagers from the four villages did not come to pick up the victims. Instead, they united to block the road and prevent the victims from entering the village.

Hundreds of men, women, and children blocked the intersection of the four villages. There were villagers kneeling at the intersection wearing sackcloth and mourning. There were even old people lying in coffins and shouting: "As long as a disaster victim enters our four villages, the young people in the village will be buried alive immediately." We have so many old people dying all at once, let’s see how the county government will explain to the government government!”
