Shock! The abandoned concubine cheated on the god of war and only wanted to farm
Chapter 50 Trapped in Ai County
The villagers in the cliff cave had an uncertain future and tossed and turned all night. Everyone in the cave whispered about their endless worries and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
Only the wind painted a dreamless night and I slept well.
It was not until the next morning, when Qingling was quietly preparing a meal, that she slowly woke up, stretched her legs, and carelessly applied the medicine on her face.
"How's the weather today?"
Qing Ling was spreading an egg pancake, glancing back at her master, and replied:
"The weather is good. I think it will be sunny. Unlike the day when Master Cang and his companions came down the mountain, there were thunder and lightning and heavy rain."
Feng Ranhua leaned on the pillow and said quietly, "Qingling, do you think that Cangxuan bastard will look for us if we go to Yizhou this time?"
A strange look flashed across her eyes, which seemed to be melancholy, but more complicated.
Qing Ling was speechless. She shouldn't have mentioned Master Cang. "Miss, how about you leave a letter in the cave?"
Feng Ranhua sneered, "Leave a shit, that bastard didn't even leave a correspondence address. Scholars have always been fickle-hearted. The ancients were not lying to me."
Xu Qing, who was about to come in from outside the cave, sighed and returned to the stream.
After an angry breakfast, Feng Ranhua waved his hand, put all the things in the cave into the small tattered book, put his hands on his waist, and walked slowly to the stream.
When Feng Ranhua and his servant arrived at the stream with heavy hearts, the old lady and the women had prepared several large pots of dry food and were loading them into the truck.
The team ready to go is quite spectacular.
The thieves robbed the thieves, and after defeating Wang Bazi once and General Fu once, the thing that the cliff cave was least worried about was horses.
After the spring, Si Zhou sold more than 20 horses and received more than 600 taels of silver. In fact, Si Zhou transferred the horses away.
There were seventeen horses left, four carriages with eight horses each, and nine horses left.
There are sixteen villagers in total, ten men, seven young and middle-aged people, and the rest are elderly people and women.
The remaining horses were just enough for one person.
As soon as they got onto the official road, they met a group of refugees. They had gray heads and black faces, and their clothes were tattered. Everyone looked at them with envy.
Perhaps because they saw that they had knives and looked very imposing, a group of people followed them spontaneously.
"Miss Feng, I heard from the refugees following us that except for the seven counties near the capital, the rest of the counties in Wuzhou have been forced to collect food and grass three times and recruit soldiers three times. They are just like us at the beginning. They have to wait and see, and they don't know if they can survive, so they fled."
Song Jiang rode on a horse beside Feng Ran's painted carriage and reported anxiously.
Feng Ranhua frowned slightly in the carriage, "Damn it, King Tang, is he in a hurry to reincarnate? He has lost the support of the people again and again. A farmer's family has been plundered three times, and there are still male descendants left?"
Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "In many families, only seven or eight-year-old males are left. Anyone over ten years old has been recruited."
How should a ten-year-old kid respond to the challenge?
Go to die alive.
Influenced by the sad atmosphere of the refugees behind them, the villagers in the cliff cave moved forward in silence.
When they reached a village, they rested for a night.
On the second day, they all disguised themselves as escorts and took a small road to the county town.
Fortunately, they happened to pass by General Fu, who was on his way to the cliff cave to catch them.
When the villagers from the cliff cave arrived at the city gate in the morning, they stuffed enough silver and handed in the escort documents that had been prepared earlier, and finally entered the city smoothly.
After entering the city, under the leadership of Xu Qing, they settled down in an empty house.
I thought that after a night's rest, I could leave the city smoothly the next day, but the city was closed before I could even sit down!
Feng Ranhua sat on a chair in the main hall with a murderous look on his face. Damn it, he became a lamb to be slaughtered.
In less than an hour, among the people who went to inquire about the news, Song Jiang was the first to return.
He stood in the hall, sweating profusely, not even having time to drink water, panting and saying:
"Miss Feng, Wuzhou has sent a new county magistrate. The reason for the city lockdown is that tomorrow we will go door to door to collect money, food, etc."
What you fear will come true. I have been talking about King Tang’s shameless behavior all the time. I hope it will not happen in Ai County.
Feng Ranhua's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "The brain-dead King Tang, your eating habits are too ugly. He has only taken over for a few days, and he is already in a hurry to close the door and rob silver and food. Such a person with no morals and no ethics still dreams of becoming the ninth king."
“Let’s go and find out what the people of Ai County mean. After all, we can’t raise a Korean scumbag, and he’s also a coward.
Feng Fubao was quite clever and volunteered, "Everyone, stay at home. I come to the county town often. I'll go around the houses and see if there's any movement."
"I'll go with you." Bai Qi said with a frown.
After the two of them went out.
Xu Qing happened to come back. She looked around and saw that everyone was squatting in the hall and under the eaves. She walked straight up to Feng Ranhua and said,
“The situation is dire.”
"Today, the county government has gone to the wealthy families in the county to collect money. Many gentry resisted. In the chaos, more than 20 servants have died under the swords of the county government."
Feng Ranhua sneered disdainfully, and was furious: "If they want to rob money, it's not the wealthy merchants and gentry who are the main targets of exploitation. Who the hell gave this idea? Or has the situation in Yandu changed?"
"Someone died?" Aunt Feng's face changed drastically with fright.
"Kill just like that?"
"Is this unjust?"
Everyone was discussing quietly.
Feng Ranhua looked at the dejected crowd, knocked on the table and said:
"Everyone is like eggplants hit by frost. Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. Those who are resting should rest quickly, and those who are ready for lunch should also get moving."
When everyone heard this, they dispersed immediately. Miss Feng was their reassurance.
Qingling noticed that the young lady didn't look well, so she helped her into a room.
"Miss, your body cannot bear the bumpy journey. Otherwise, we can hide our identities and stay in the city first. We will leave after you give birth to the little masters." Qingling suggested.
Feng Ranhua sighed softly and looked at her with a frown: "If I leave, those neighbors will be eaten up without leaving any bones."
She also thought cruelly that with Xu Qing and Bai Qi around, they would be able to protect her until she gave birth to the baby.
...Miss is kind-hearted.
Qingling let out a long sigh, and after seeing the young lady lying down to rest, she walked out of the room and made some ginseng soup for the young lady to replenish her qi and blood.
At this time, there was no civilian on the main road in the county town except for the patrolling officers and soldiers.
Every household closed its doors, but bad news was heard one after another. From time to time, a few people were seen running around in the alleys, exchanging news with each other.
There were cries of grief, howling and screaming everywhere.
At this time, in Mei'ai Mountain, General Fu led his troops to surround the cliff caves. When everyone broke into the caves, they found that the caves were empty.
General Fu looked at his empty sleeve and roared violently to the sky: "Chase! Capture them to me no matter where they are!"
More than a hundred people swooped down the mountain in a mighty force.
At 3 p.m. in the afternoon, a notice was posted at the gate of the Ai County government office. Several people who were hiding and following saw the content of the notice for the first time.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The collection of silver and grain was several times more stringent than the rumors during the day. Was this to force them to death? ! !
Now it is spring, and the time for planting is coming. The silver and grain have been confiscated. What will they eat? What will they plant?
