Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

After hearing this, everyone immediately took action and quickly gathered around the official from the government office who was speaking.

When everyone was gathered, the officer raised his voice and shouted:

"The four members of the Zhao family have been assigned to Lianjia Village. Come over here and stand!"

His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the open space. Then he shouted:

"The nine members of the Wu family have been assigned to Caojiagou. Quickly gather here in the middle!"

"The seven members of the Liu family have been assigned to Lijiawan. Stand on the right side."

Just as the official was about to continue reading about the Shen family, a man dressed as a civil servant suddenly trotted up to him and hurriedly interrupted what he was about to say.

The civil servant whispered a few words into the official's ear. The official nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Alright, the three families that have been assigned to specific areas, please follow the village chiefs of your respective villages and leave here.

As for the Shen family, please stay here for now. We will rearrange the distribution later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chiefs of those villages came quickly towards the crowd with one or two strong men from the village.

Among them, the village chief of Lijiawan was the most conspicuous. He was pulling a rather sturdy ox cart in his hand. The cart was covered with a thick layer of hay. It looked very comfortable. It must be used to carry people or goods.

The village chiefs of the other two families also looked honest and sincere, and overall they were very good.

At this time, the people from the Wu and Zhao families had no time to care about the situation on the Shen family's side.

The only thing on their minds was to get to the assigned village as soon as possible, so that they might have enough time to choose a more satisfactory house.

Therefore, after a hasty and brief farewell, they followed the village chief's footsteps and left the place quickly.

Only the Liu family showed a caring look and walked towards the direction of the Shen family.

In fact, they knew nothing about the relationship between Shen Qingge and Xiao Heng.

It was only seen that Shen Qingge was summoned by the prince many times to be "reprimanded", and it seemed that she was even forced to participate in some dangerous things.

Based on this, they concluded that Shen Qingge must have angered the King of Lingnan for some reason, so that he was about to face the fate of being exiled to a more remote and desolate place.

Especially Old Madam Liu, she stepped forward quickly with a worried look on her face, grabbed Shen Qingge's slightly slender hands, and said earnestly:

"Nizi, after the village was divided today, it will be difficult for us to see each other again in the future!

And judging from the situation today, I'm afraid your Shen family will be assigned to a more remote corner.

However, you have always been a good and sensible child. Once you get there, you must be extra careful and take good care of your grandmother and sisters-in-law.

Oh...it's so heartbreaking!"

As she spoke, Old Madam Liu couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the corners of her eyes, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.

Liu Ping, the head of the Liu family, also hurried over. He looked solemn, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

After coming to Shen Qingge, he carefully took out an inconspicuous small cloth bag, gently stuffed it into Shen Qingge's hand, and said in a low voice:

"Hey... Nizi, I have become a pariah now, and I really don't have the ability to help your Shen family overcome this difficult time.

There are five taels of silver in this bag. Although it is not much, it is a small gift from my uncle. I hope it can help you solve your urgent needs.

You must use it sparingly! In the future, if there is a chance, I hope everyone can make a comeback.

But... hey... if you meet the King of Lingnan again, remember not to offend him! Otherwise, you will suffer!"

After hearing Liu Ping's words, Shen Qingge felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

The next moment, she resolutely handed the small cloth bag back to Liu Ping and said sincerely:

"Uncle Ping, your niece appreciates your kindness. But I cannot accept this money no matter what!

During this period of exile, you have spent a lot of money. As winter approaches, life is becoming increasingly difficult, and the lack of food and clothing at home must be getting worse.

So, you should keep this money and take good care of your family! As for me, don't worry, I have my own plan and will never let my family suffer. "

After saying that, Shen Qingge smiled and comforted Liu Ping, while reaching into the bag on her back to find two or three thick cotton coats.

Then, she skillfully and carefully wrapped the bulging bag of money into her cotton coat, and when Liu Ping wasn't paying attention, she quickly stuffed it into his hand, leaving him no chance to refuse.

Turning around, she said to Old Madam Liu, "Grandma Liu, when I'm settled down here, I'll definitely come to Lijiawan to see you if I have the chance!"

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop chatting! If we keep dawdling like this, we won't be able to reach the village by dark!"

The village chief of Lijiawan, who was standing nearby, urged everyone on with a slightly anxious look.

Hearing this, the two families who were originally chatting enthusiastically stopped talking, with reluctance in their eyes, but they also understood that time was running out and they could not delay any longer.

They said several sweet words to each other before they prepared to go their separate ways.

At this moment, while no one else was paying attention, Shen Qingge quickly threw two large heavy bags onto the village chief's ox cart.

Then, she lowered her voice and said to the village chief:

"Village chief, please keep these two bags of rice. Please distribute one to the villagers, and leave the other bag for the Liu family.

After all, they just came here from the capital, they are unfamiliar with the place and may not be used to many things. So I hope you can take good care of them! "

The village chief looked at the rice bag and listened to her sincere words. His face was filled with a simple and honest smile, and his face was full of wrinkles:

"Of course, of course! This is the first time that our small village has welcomed dignitaries from the capital.

Even though he is down and out now, he is still much better off than ordinary people like us!

And when the villagers knew they were coming, they were very nervous, fearing that they would not take good care of them and cause them to suffer.

Don't worry, Nizi, we will definitely not treat them unfairly!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge was deeply moved by the simple and kind folk customs.

However, separation was inevitable, and she could only slowly walk the Zhao family a few steps away and wave goodbye to them.

Seeing that everyone had left, the official immediately changed his expression, approached the Shen family and said:

"My lords, please follow me!"
