The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land
Chapter 20: Escape
Bai Zhao stepped over the threshold and the door of the bank slammed shut with a clang behind him.
The current situation is not optimistic.
This bank is spread all over Dazhuang Dynasty, so they must be well-informed.
Is there any change again?
Bai Zhao was carrying an empty box and was distracted, and was almost bumped by someone.
"Minghui, be careful!" Zhou Wen blocked the pedestrian and he ran away angrily.
"..."
Bai Zhao was reminded and realized that the man was a thief.
The box is empty, so it's no big deal if it's stolen.
"Brother-in-law, how about we go check out the oxcart first?"
When fleeing from famine, you always have to leave something on the table. Horses are more expensive than cows, so it is cheaper to use an ox cart.
If there is a real chaos, prices will surely soar, so it is better to be frugal now.
"Okay, I have the same idea. Let's go buy food after we buy the ox cart."
Zhou Wen's family has an ox cart. If he follows the Bai family, one ox cart is definitely not enough, so adding another one will provide space for everyone to sit.
Before coming to Ping County, Bai Meidong prepared silver and money for him.
In addition to getting medicine, he also had to buy cattle and grain.
The Bai family doesn’t have enough food as this year’s harvest is poor.
The two hit it off immediately and rushed to the livestock market in Nanshi together.
After some bargaining, the two men bought the two cows for thirty-five taels, and the merchant also gave them two wooden carts.
Bai Zhao didn't know whether the price was expensive or not, as Zhou Wen did all the bargaining.
Zhou Wen looks simple and honest, but he is actually very decisive when it comes to bargaining.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Wen was a little confused by Bai Zhao's blank gaze.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so good at bargaining." Bai Zhao praised him generously. He had never bargained before. In modern times, his family had no worries about money.
"Ah, every time we hunt good hides, the merchants from the north come to buy them. If we don't haggle, we won't get a good price."
Zhou Wenjia is a hunter. He often deals with those people and has developed his eloquence.
The two went to the grain store and bought a cart of grain each. The grain store owner muttered to himself:
"Why are there so many people buying food these past two days? No, we need to send people to Lingzhou City to get more food. There won't be enough for tomorrow!"
After buying everything, Bai Zhao and Zhou Wen each drove an ox cart towards the city gate.
They agreed to meet there.
"Minghui, if you don't accept the money, your sister will be angry!"
Except for the money Zhou Wen paid for his mother's medicine, the rest was paid by Bai Zhao.
"I don't have much money. Never mind. My brother-in-law has given me a lot of good leather."
Bai Zhao refused resolutely.
The original body had previously given Zhou Wen money to build a house, but it was only a few dozen taels.
Later, Zhou Wen repaid much more than this amount.
Zhou Wen gave all the good skins he hunted to his original owner.
Bai Zhao got angry just thinking about it. That bastard actually gave all the money to the bad woman, and his family didn't get any advantage at all.
A piece of good leather costs hundreds or even thousands of taels. This bastard is really...
"Hey, why are there so many people gathered at the city gate?"
There was a bit of traffic at the city gate, so Zhou Wen simply parked the car aside and asked Bai Zhao to look after it. Relying on his height and physique, he easily squeezed into the crowd.
Zhou Wen's face turned pale when he saw the notice above.
Zhou Wen hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Minghui, we have to escape quickly."
"What's on top?" Bai Zhao sensed his nervousness and had already anticipated that it was not a good thing.
Zhou Wen leaned close to Bai Zhao's ear and whispered:
"It's a wanted order! It's about my sister-in-law's family. The portraits are all from the Wei family."
When Bai Zhao heard the news, he threw the reins into Zhou Wen's arms and said, "Wait for me!"
He casually smeared a little dust on the right side of his cheek, leaving a birthmark the size of a fingernail.
When he got closer to the notice, he was shocked by its contents.
In addition to the portraits of Wei Hongmian, Wei Liu and his son, Wei Hongmian's nephews and nieces, there was also his portrait, and there were a few other people he didn't recognize.
The portrait is lifelike, with the technique of modern figure painting.
Bai Zhao saw the contents clearly and left in embarrassment.
"Brother-in-law, I have to go back quickly, you wait for my brother and the others first!"
After Bai Zhao finished explaining, he hurriedly drove away on the ox cart.
......
"What bad luck!" Bai Laoer picked up the bag on the ground. His goose yellow clothes were covered with mud, and he patted them hard.
Just now, he was grabbed by the clothes by a beggar-like child. Just as he was about to scold him, the little beggar was taken away.
A large piece of his clothes was torn and there was a mud mark on it.
"Okay, that kid didn't do it on purpose. He's about the same height as your Lingzhi. Don't bother with a kid.
Let’s go to the city gate to meet them first and go back as soon as possible.
Didn’t you buy a new dress for Lingzhi? Why don’t you leave now!”
Boss Bai said a few words to comfort her casually, then drove away on the cart.
The Bai family members all thought of the same thing, and each family bought an ox cart.
The moment they turned around, the little beggar's tears washed away the mud on his face, and his eyes were filled with horror as he watched the Bai family walking away.
"This one is pretty. If she gets to the prince, she might be favored by him."
A wealthy woman lifted the little beggar's chin with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"By the way, have you found the person on the wanted list?"
The wealthy woman picked up the wanted poster from the table and waved it in front of her men.
"No, the Bai family's house was sold ten days ago, and now it's empty.
When we went to Jingkanzi Village to explore the route today, we didn't hear that the Wei family had returned.
I came across such a top-quality product and quickly brought it back to you."
The man with shifty eyes hunched over and showed off in front of the wealthy woman, being extremely fawning.
"Let's retreat now. Fortunately, we have collected a group of beautiful girls. It doesn't matter if we can't catch these people."
The wealthy woman then threw the wanted poster on the table and kicked the little beggar. "Be honest and don't think about running away. When you get to the prince, you are a village girl, like a sparrow climbing up a high branch. You will have a good life ahead of you."
The wealthy woman and the shifty-eyed man left, and the little beggar looked unwilling.
"Just be quiet, you can't run away."
Someone nearby was already mocking him, "Bai Lingzhi, you don't want all the wealth and fame, you are useless!"
The little beggar looked up suddenly, "Do you know me?"
"He's a relative of the Lingzhou governor. How could I not know him?" The girl in beggar's clothes in the corner answered with a look of contempt.
Bai Lingzhi gritted his teeth and retorted, "Who are they related to?"
If it weren't for Bai Jingzhi, how could she have sneaked out in anger? She was caught by a man and a woman, and she didn't know what they fed her to stop her from making a sound.
The woman also changed her into this beggar's clothes. When she saw her father just now, her father didn't recognize her and she couldn't speak.
When she got here, the fat woman gave her a pill and she returned to normal.
What prince? She doesn’t want to be the old man’s concubine.
Bai Lingzhi became angrier the more he thought about it. He leaned on a stool with his arm before standing up with difficulty.
When she saw what was on the paper, she was ecstatic.
