Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun immediately bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, sir."

Then he saluted to Hu San solemnly and said, "Please take good care of me in the future, Mr. Hu San."

"It's easy to talk about."

Hu Laosan accepted Ye Qingyun's gift with a smile on his face.

The thin cat took the opportunity to stuff a silver ingot into Hu Laosan's pocket and said, "Mr. Hu San, please accept it."

Hu Laosan looked at the thin cat and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a friend of Miss Ye and the others."

"I will try to raise money to exempt them from hard labor. Please take good care of them, Mr. Hu."

Hu Laosan was even more surprised.

He looked at the bailiff who had not left yet.

The bailiff nodded, confirming what Skinny Cat said.

"It's really strange that someone would care about becoming a friend of a fugitive."

Hu Laosan's expression was a bit complicated: "Since you are willing to pay, I am willing to help you."

"But the amount of money exempted from the draft is not small, you have to be mentally prepared."

The thin cat nodded: "I know, I will do it as soon as possible."

Seeing that the yamen runner was about to leave, the thin cat quickly asked again: "What is the name of this official?"

"They all call me Wu Heizi."

After the bailiff finished speaking, he went back to report without even looking at Skinny Cat's reaction.

Hu Laosan patted Shoumao's shoulder and said, "You can just call him Heiye from now on."

Lord Black...

It's quite dark indeed.

Ye Fei complained in her heart.

"Since you were personally instructed by Hei Ye, I guess there must be something special about it."

"I won't ask any more questions. I will now introduce you to the specific situation of Ling Village."

"Ling Village is divided into four major factions: the Hu family, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Li family. I am from the Hu family."

"The Hu and Liu families are the old-school exiled families, while the Wang and Li families are the new-school exiled families."

"In general, the old school and the new school do not interfere with each other, but they do have disputes with each other."

"Although there are four major families, we are still an exiled family after all. The one who actually manages Ling Village is Zheng Nantian."

"He is the nephew of Zheng Xian, the county magistrate, and the current head of Ling Village."

"If you want to be exempted from hard labor by paying money, you must get Zheng Nantian's written consent before you can go to the county government to file it."

“Although Lingcun is a village, it covers a wide area because it is sparsely populated.”

"The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. You must not underestimate Zheng Nantian."

The first thing Hu Laosan said was the key news of Ling Village.

But it left Ye Feilei speechless.

Exile has also brought out the distinction between high and low, and there is also the distinction between old-school exile forces and new-school exile forces.

However, Shou Gou was more concerned about the specific amount: "I wonder if Mr. Hu San can reveal the standard amount of money that needs to be paid to be exempted from hard labor, so that I can be mentally prepared."

Hu Laosan actually counted on his fingers: "According to the regulations, each person needs 20,000 taels of silver to be exempted from hard labor."

"The four of you will have to pay a total of 80,000 taels."

"But in addition to the 80,000 taels, you still have to take care of everything, especially Zheng Nantian."

"So, it's best to prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver."

"One hundred thousand taels?" The thin cat's voice was trembling.

This is all I want just to be exempted from hard labor.

Although they had gold, silver and jewelry brought out from the secret room, one hundred thousand taels was still an astronomical figure for him.

"I know this is not a small amount, go back and prepare well."

"Next time you come, just tell me your name and someone will bring you to see me."

Hu Laosan comforted the thin cat with understanding.

The thin cat turned around and looked at Ye Fei's family: "Girl, don't worry."

"The money issue will be handled by the dog and I."

"You guys better take care of yourselves."

Ye Fei rarely showed a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After Thin Cat left, Hu Laosan did not take Ye Fei's family to see the village chief Zheng Nantian, but took them directly to their residence in Ling Village:

"Since you haven't prepared the money yet, I won't take you to see Zheng Nantian. It won't be too late to take you there after you are ready."

"This can actually reduce unnecessary trouble."

"If you have any problems, you can come to me directly. I live in the house with the word "Hu" and "Three" on the east side."

As Hu Lao San left, he reminded them again: "It's best not to let others know that you plan to pay silver to avoid hard labor."

"If you encounter unreasonable people in Ling Village, just fight them back."

"Although I told you not to cause trouble, I also don't mean you should be afraid of trouble."

"In Ling Village, to some extent, whoever has the stronger fist is the one who is right."

"Sometimes the more you fear, the more trouble you'll encounter."

After Hu Laosan gave instructions on these key points, he left.

Ye Fei and Ye Qingyun are both smart people, so they naturally know what Hu Laosan means.

As newcomers in exile, they are likely to be targeted.

To be precise, their family is likely to be given a slap in the face, which is what we call bullying in modern times.

And their attitude in handling things is related to their family's future status in Ling Village.

"A place like this... How can people live in a place like this?"

Lin Xue'e was about to cry when she saw the messy, dilapidated and small house:

"The environment here is not as good as when we were sleeping outdoors, but at least it is cleaner than here."

Ye Qingyun patted Lin Xue'e's hand distressedly and comforted her, "It's okay, you three take a rest first, I'll sort it out."

Ye Fei felt that the place they were assigned to must have been used as a garbage dump?

It's really dirty and smelly...

"Master, do you really want to live in such a shabby place?"

"There are still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the space. I will be generous and give you some to redeem you."

The space spirit, which had been silent for a long time, spoke in a stuttering manner, looking like it really deserved a beating.

Ye Fei actually did so.

Her consciousness instantly entered the space, and she raised her hand and slapped the weapon spirit on the butt.

The spirit of the weapon was caught off guard.

After he realized what was happening, his face turned red with embarrassment.

The chubby little hands covered her butt tightly: "Master, Master, you are so annoying, how can you spank someone else's butt?"

Ye Fei ignored him.

She was wondering whether she should find a chance to go shopping now or tomorrow.

Because it’s getting late today.

People who were working outside started to come back one after another.

Ye Fei’s family’s new neighbor also came back.

"Are you new here?"

"Why is there no movement today?"

"In the past, when exiles came here, it would cause quite a stir."

A middle-aged woman put down the farm tools in her hands and ran up to Ye Fei's family to chat.

Lin Xue'e looked at her, not knowing how to respond.

Although Lin Xue'e is the daughter-in-law of the Ye family's side branch, the people she deals with are not ordinary people.

Suddenly seeing such a woman behaving like this, she didn't know how to deal with her for a moment.

Ye Fei took the initiative to answer: "Hello, Auntie."

"We just came here today."

"I wonder what task Auntie assigned me?"

"Is there anything else to do in Ling Village besides farming?"
