The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Jiang Lan mingled among them, and his two servants followed him all the time to protect his safety.

Wei Li also changed into a set of tattered clothes and stood in front of Jiang Lan.

Someone asked, "Brother Jiang, what are we going to do? We are being denied a chance to live! Everyone says that the King of Li is a benevolent and righteous man who loves his people like his own children. If we are not allowed to enter, how are we going to survive?"

The man who spoke had a weathered and bitter look on his face.

This large group of them came from the south.

Last year, the emperor reduced the power of the princes, and the prince and his family came to Beijing.

The local officials were newly sent by the imperial court and lacked experience in handling affairs. All the tree bark in their area had been eaten up, and the relief grain allocated by the imperial court had disappeared.

The people there really had no other choice but to move their entire families from south to north just to survive.

King Li had a good reputation, and all those who had fled here to escape famine were resettled and had their household registration re-registered here.

It was the group of people who came later than them. Prince Li’s people clearly said that they could stay here.

Among these refugees, a large number of young and strong people disappeared.

Those people haven't returned yet, and now King Li is coming to chase them away. They are getting anxious.

If Prince Li drives them away again, where can they go?

Only after coming here did I realize how good Lingzhou is. Unfortunately, something has happened in Lingzhou now and it has become chaotic.

The refugee had a depressed look on his face and his eyes were empty and confused.

Jiang Lan didn't say anything for a while. Now was not the right time.

He was somewhat famous among the refugees, and it was his idea to surround the city gate last time.

That time he incited the emotions of the refugees and framed King Li, and only then did these people gain King Li's scant sympathy.

From that day on, Lianzhou City had some porridge every day, which was enough for them to survive.

Jiang Lan is gentle and polite, which makes these people trust him.

When everyone saw him in the crowd, it seemed as if they had found a backbone, and more and more people gathered around him.

When Jiang Lan was still trying to stir up trouble, a group of people came from outside, riding their horses at a very fast speed.

These refugees were those who suffered from disasters in the south. In order to survive, they moved to the north with their families.

Prince Li loved to build his reputation, and his image of being kind and loving to the people spread far and wide.

Lianzhou City sent soldiers to separate them, and the team was able to enter the city.

Jiang Lan looked at the group of people and said, "They are from the imperial court."

Wei Li looked back at him and leaned close to Jiang Lan's ear, "Prince, why don't I go in and take a look? The people from the imperial court are here, and I don't know what they are going to do."

"Quietly, be careful."

Lianzhou City allowed small vendors to enter and exit, and Wei Li left quietly. His previous position was replaced by the person who came from Prince Yan's Mansion this time.

......

Bai Jingzhi did not sleep well that night, as she was still worried about the affairs of Prince Li's Mansion.

The Wei family was executed along with all nine clans because of them, so before leaving, they had to give them a big gift.

"Sister Yue'e, if I follow you into Prince Li's mansion, can you escape unscathed?"

Bai Jingzhi thought about it all night and weighed the pros and cons before coming up with this idea.

Prince Li's Mansion is not an iron barrel. If we start from him...

Bai Jingzhi always felt that it was feasible.

At daybreak, when everyone was still asleep, she poked Zhou Yue'e on the shoulder and put forward her idea.

Zhou Yue'e did not refuse. "It won't attract attention during the day. I asked around yesterday and found out that they are all vendors coming into the city to sell things. We can sneak in."

These were all what Wei Dayong found out yesterday. She followed him and naturally knew about it as well.

They entered the city yesterday as merchants. I heard that today is the last day of the plan to drive out the refugees, so the defense will be stricter.

"Is the entry and exit of the city strictly checked?"

"Yesterday it was not strict and no passes were checked."

Bai Jingzhi nodded and winked at Zhou Yue'e, "Sister Yue'e, go push a wheelbarrow and load some pork jerky and mountain products on it. Let's go to Lianzhou City."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Yue'e confirmed again, "It's just the two of us. We won't alert them?"

"Well, I want to go to Prince Li's Mansion. If they knew, they would definitely not agree."

Bai Jingzhi wanted to go to Prince Li's Mansion to take a look in person. Today, the defense of Prince Li's Mansion was definitely not as strict as before.

The news Zhou Yue'e brought back yesterday was that today was the last day to expel the refugees. In order to prevent the refugees from causing unrest, most of the staff of Prince Li's Mansion were transferred to the city gate to maintain order. If there was anything, they would be able to suppress it immediately.

The two cousins ​​left here secretly.

Bai Jingzhi also left a note, "Go into the city, don't worry."

This note is just to explain the destination.

Zhou Yue'e is a martial artist and is very fast.

The two sisters disguised themselves on the road, but still attracted attention.

They were dressed cleanly and when they arrived at the city gate, they looked a little out of place with the others.

The two were still dressed in women's clothes. Zhou Yue'e pushed the cart and Bai Jingzhi followed beside her, attracting several glances from the guards at the city gate.

"You sisters are the only ones entering the city?"

"Yes, my father and brother suddenly caught a cold, so today my sister and I will deliver mountain products to Prince Li's mansion."

Zhou Yue'e's voice was steady, without any abnormality, and the refugees on the other side did not affect them.

There were a few pieces of pork jerky on their car, and the refugees' eyes lit up and they kept drooling.

"Brother, here are a few pieces for you to try. We need to send them to Prince Li's Palace as soon as possible."

The guards took advantage of the situation and let them in without making any trouble.

When we arrived at the back door of Prince Li’s Mansion, there were already many vendors queuing up to deliver goods.

This time, Prince Li's mansion was short of staff, so they were allowed to unload the things directly into the kitchen.

In the past, these people would just unload through the back door, and servants would naturally come inside to move them.

Today was different from the past. Since she had the opportunity to enter with a legitimate reason, Zhou Yue'e did not take Bai Jingzhi through the dog hole.

In broad daylight, Zhou Yue'e did not dare to climb over the wall with Bai Jingzhi.

If Zhou Yue'e had not seen from a distance that they could enter Prince Li's Mansion, she would have taken Bai Jingzhi to the remote courtyard.

The dog hole is right there, but it is covered by weeds and cannot be found without careful inspection.

If it weren't for that man yesterday, she would have been able to escape through the dog hole.

The two sisters followed the person in front of them to the kitchen, put the things there, and then slipped away quietly.

At this moment, Prince Li's mansion was not as crowded with servants as it was last night.

At this moment, it is quiet here.

"Sister Jingzhi, where do you want to go?"

"study."

Although Zhou Yue'e was surprised, she did not ask any more questions.

The two were lucky not to meet anyone on the road.

Zhou Yue'e brought Bai Jingzhi to the rooftop with ease. Her movements were so light, like falling leaves, that they did not attract anyone's attention.

Bai Jingzhi just gave Zhou Yue'e a thumbs up and didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, these should be posted at the city gates, and in all counties in Lianzhou. It should be posted with a big fanfare to spread the news of the Wei family."

Zhou Yue'e quietly lifted a tile and saw the words "commuted to exile".

A scolding voice came from the study, "Where are you running to, little thief!"

The two sisters were stunned. Bai Jingzhi held Zhou Yue'e's arm and shook his head.
