The whole family wears it! Roll it up together! The envy of all the rich in Beijing

The food used for cooking was, of course, the food they had just bought from Donggu Town last night.

As a result, as soon as they opened the grain bag, they found that the rice and flour inside had turned into stones!

"Boss, there's dirt in this bag of grain!"

"what?"

When the leader heard the report from his younger brother, he was peeing and didn't even have time to pull up his pants when he came over to take a look. Sure enough, it was a bag of soil.

"What about the others? Open them all and take a look!"

I opened several bags in succession and found that they were full of stones and dirt.

"Boss, I have rocks in this."

"Boss, what I have here is rocks and soil."

"Boss, there's dirt inside here."

The leader ordered all the bags to be opened, and without exception, they were filled with either stones, soil, or a mixture of the two.

"Ah - you bastard! How dare you bluff us!

Go back and settle accounts with them!"

The leader felt that he was being robbed by other villains.

He immediately packed his bags again and returned to Donggu Town.

We must seek an explanation from the Magistrate of Donggu County. Is this a case of bringing trouble upon them?

Do you think they will swallow this loss?

No, absolutely not!

Just want to make it known to everyone.

By then, the Donggu County Magistrate's collusion with our side would be tantamount to treason. Let's see how they end up.

Anyway, he didn't bring back a single grain of rice, and he couldn't report to his superiors, so it would be better for everyone to perish together!

The same scene happened not only in Donggu Town. As long as Bai Jintong passed by villages, towns and counties, those who refused to let the refugees in, those who had county magistrates who were capable of watching them die without helping, and those who colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country to sell grain, all ended up being visited after their homes were searched.

As a result, those county magistrates whose homes had been confiscated did not know how to issue arrest warrants, and they also had to face the risk of being exposed for treason.

Bai Jintong doesn't care about these anymore.

Along the way, she hardly opened her eyes during the day and was always sleeping.

Of course, many refugees who were about to starve to death on the road also got a chance to survive.

Most of the food collected along the way was given to the refugees, but a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were found in the space.

Bai Jintong was also preparing to return to Beijing, so he asked his parents to take those things and buy food to help the people in need.

Two days before arriving in Beijing, Bai Jintong finally reversed the time difference between day and night.

Although there were refugees in the capital, they were not like those encountered on the road before. They were all pale and thin, with either two big eye sockets on their faces, or refugees who had starved to the point of having big heads or big bellies.

After all, the towns under the jurisdiction of the capital are under the feet of the emperor. Even if the county magistrates and prefects in charge do not want to provide relief, they will not do anything so embarrassing.

Those who need to be taken care of will still be taken care of. There are soup kitchens on the roadside or in the open spaces outside the city gates, providing free porridge to the refugees. At least each person can have one or two bowls a day so that they will not starve to death.

Even the bodies of refugees who died on the road were no longer seen everywhere as before, which meant that these people had escaped the disaster of having their homes confiscated.

But this is all we can do for now, there is nothing more.

After all, Longguo is a country that is poor in food.

Bai Jintong felt that the planting technology should be widely spread in advance.

But this matter still requires the support of the emperor.

It's not something she or her family can accomplish.

Apart from anything else, what she had seen along the way was definitely just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, no one knew to what extent those corrupt officials were doing evil behind the scenes.

If the Bai family said they wanted to spread the planting technology widely, the corrupt officials would be the first to disagree and would definitely do something bad in secret.

Because she spread the planting technology, there were fewer hungry farmers and they could be self-sufficient, and the pockets of those officials who lined their own pockets would be deflated, which they certainly would not want.

Therefore, this matter needs to be led by the emperor and supervised by him.

The emperor really should go on a private visit himself.

The purge was not thorough enough!

When she returned to Beijing, Prince Qi's Mansion and the Bai family knew about it at the first moment.

The first to know about it was Prince Qi's Mansion, because Nan Mingyu told Han Zhong about it after he came back. Han Zhong had been sending people to keep an eye on it and wait at the city gates every day. When he saw the big carriage of the Prince Qi's Mansion and the yellow bird driving the carriage, he immediately reported to his master.

Han Zhong was considerate enough to send someone to tell the Bai family about it.

Hong Tianqiao has been staying at home these days because it is the second day of the first round of the Autumn Examination.

Bai Jin'an and Hong Wenyuan from the family both took part in the autumn examination, as well as their future nephew-in-law Kang Yuanchun.

It means there are three candidates in the family.

Hong Tianqiao had been cooking delicious food for her children at home for a few days. After two days of research, she finally developed instant noodles. The weather was hot, and she wanted the children to have convenient and delicious food at the test site. Instant noodles were the most suitable choice. She also paired it with a lot of dried meat and vegetables, which was considered a high-end version.

In order to improve the taste for children, Hong Tianqiao has been researching new flavors of instant noodles these days.

I've been eating instant noodles every day and I'm about to vomit.

Now let’s eat some fruit for a change of taste. The fruit will be brought back by the escort agency tomorrow.

Tomorrow the Escort Agency has been doing fruit business with Hong Tianyu, and every time the Escort Agency will bring a lot of fruit to the Bai family.

When Hong Tianqiao heard the servant from Prince Qi's mansion come to report that her daughter had returned, she threw the unfinished banana in her hand directly on the table and ran to the door.

"Aunt, please slow down!"

Hong Wenchu ​​hurriedly followed Hong Tianqiao, she also missed her cousin very much.

When they arrived at the door, Bai Jintong and Wang Shi just got off the carriage.

"mother--"

Hong Tianqiao realized that her sister-in-law had also arrived, and she felt that this lady looked a little familiar. Just as she was about to hug her daughter, she heard her niece calling her mother. She immediately reacted and freed up one hand to embrace Wang as well.

“My sister-in-law is here too, that’s great!

Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Fortunately, she didn't ask who was responsible for this, otherwise she would have been exposed.

"younger sister!"

Wang saw that her daughter had gained weight and looked rosy-cheeked, and was more beautiful and graceful than before her. She was sincerely grateful to her sister-in-law and her family.

My sister-in-law looks a lot healthier and younger than before, that’s great!

This time, the sister-in-law didn't mind that she was tired from the journey, and hugged her, and her eyes were red with emotion.

"Let's all go inside first. Mother, my aunt and I need to wash up first, and then make us something delicious."

Bai Jintong didn't feel anything when she was on the road, but as soon as she came back, she wanted to eat all kinds of things.

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare it for you right away!"

Bai Jintong and the others came out after washing up, and Hong Tianqiao had already filled the table with food, but it was just a little bit, as any extra would be wasted if they couldn't finish it.

Huangque and Wanwan also went downstairs to clean themselves up.

Bai Jintong and Wang were eating and chatting with Hong Tianqiao and Hong Wenchu, only then did they realize that the Autumn Examination had already begun.

"That's perfect. Let's go pick up my brother and cousin and brother-in-law from the examination room tomorrow."

Bai Mengshang came back in the evening, and Nan Mingyu came with him. He had to see Bai Jintong with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.

The family had a good meal together to welcome the guests.

After Nan Mingyu left, Wang Hongwenchu ​​and her daughter also went to rest. Bai Jintong told her parents in detail what she had seen along the way and her plans.
