Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... these constables' pockets are really full." Li Dongyang sighed, "Back when I was an official, I only had a little over 100 coins on me every day. I can't even compare to them!"

Master Bai laughed and said, "You're a henpecked husband. Who in Bianjing doesn't know that you're henpecked?"

"Hehehe... Don't talk nonsense. I was just respecting my wife." In addition to his wife, Li Dongyang also has a concubine.

However, this concubine looked very ordinary, just to be able to carry on the family line.

Poor families basically cannot afford to keep concubines, but Master Bai does not have any concubines, and no one knows why.

Lin Wanwan was lying on the bed, thinking about all sorts of things. In ancient times, men who were rich and powerful would have three wives and four concubines, which she could not accept.

The worst that could happen was that she could earn more money. Anyway, she didn't want to share a man with other women.

She is a mysophobia, and also has feelings.

Naitang and his men brought in a large pile of purses, and Mrs. Bai, Zhao Qiaoniang, Mulan, and Cui Ya began to take out all the useful things from the purses.

Zhao Lei quickly dealt with the bodies. They used to do this kind of thing when they were in the army.

Their military discipline is very strict, but this kind of thing is also tolerated.

Master Bai took out some copper coins and let Huangmao go. He looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said:

"For those below us, we must punish them appropriately. We don't need to be too harsh on them, but we also can't be too easy on them.

I think we can strike a middle ground in our attitude towards them.”

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded thoughtfully. Master Bai and Madam Bai were teaching her how to manage the large mansion and how to deal with interpersonal relationships.

This is something that ordinary people cannot learn. At night, they packed their bags and prepared to set off.

Originally, Master Bai thought that he could rest here for a while, but things happened to him and things have developed to this point.

It would be bad if any more complications arose. Just as they were about to go out, they saw a dozen officers surrounding them.

Master Bai's heart tightened. What was going on?

The leader was none other than Cao Zhubu. He dismounted from his horse and asked, "Why do you all look so unfamiliar? Where is your village chief?"

Huang Mao looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Cao, the village chief has gone on a long trip. He said he was visiting relatives."

"Relatives? What about the village chief's wife? I need to talk to her about something."

"The village chief's wife is feeling unwell now. She has been ill for several days. I heard it might be an epidemic."

Cao Zhubu showed displeasure:

"How could something like this happen at this critical moment?

Now you are responsible for this mess, right?"

Huang Mao nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I am responsible."

The man threw a bag of silver over and said:

"In a few days, some distinguished guests will come and find me dozens of young and beautiful girls.

Remember, it must be extra clean. This is the deposit. Once this is done, you will stay with me from now on."

Huang Mao was very surprised: "Thank you very much, Master Cao. I will treat you as my real father from now on."

"Well, that's good. Do your job well." Cao Zhubu left directly.

Huangmao immediately handed the money to Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai opened the box and saw that there were five ten-liang silver ingots inside.

"Ha! These people are really rich. Let's go quickly." Master Bai fled with a group of people overnight.

The whole village was suddenly deserted. Lin Wanwan lay on the bed looking at the starry sky. The ancient moon was so beautiful!

The road ahead should be very smooth, right?

Master Bai unfolded a sheepskin map and said, "In two months, we will be able to reach Bianjing."

Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "That depends on whether the journey is smooth. These days, things are very chaotic."

Lin Fugui said softly, "It's not that chaotic, is it?"

"Hey... that's hard to say." Master Bai looked at them and said, "You think the road behind is easier to travel than the road ahead, right? I don't think so."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Zhao Qiaoniang was a little confused.

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Just wait and see! The higher we go, the more corrupt officials we'll encounter. I'm afraid we'll... be unable to move forward."

"But don't we have water here? The higher we go, the more food and clothing we have. How could it become more difficult?" Cui Ya didn't understand.

Master Bai sighed and said, "The lower class has its own sufferings, and the upper class has its own worries. Let's see what happens as we go. Perhaps I'm overthinking this."

All their things were placed on the carriage. During these two days, the young carpenter was very busy. He led a group of people to make a lot of crossbeams, which were deeply embedded in both sides of the carriage as the main load-bearing support.

A thick elm board is placed on top of the crossbeam. In order to prevent the goods from slipping during transportation, a one-meter-high fence is erected around it.

These fences are made of bamboo poles as thick as arms arranged closely together, and then cross-tied and fixed with tough hemp ropes to form a stable cargo space.

Inside the car, bags of grain were neatly stacked in the front. The burlap bags were bulging and the openings were carefully tied with thin hemp ropes to prevent the grain from leaking out.

This time, a lot of food was found in the village, especially in the village chief's house, where the warehouse was full of food.

This couple is quite shady. They are involved in all kinds of business. After asking them, I found out that they bought all the grain at a low price. Not only grain, but they also have a lot of cotton at home.

There were also all kinds of daily necessities, which they all brought onto the carriage this time.

There are more than 2000 of them now, so ordinary people don't dare to approach them easily.

The first two days went smoothly. Lin Wanwan lay in the carriage, and Cheese pulled them forward slowly, though the road was a little bumpy.

But her crib was padded with cotton all around, so this little bump was nothing to her.

They set out before dawn in the morning. Not long after they started walking, they heard crying in front of them: "Wuwuwu... What should we do? Hurry and find someone to save the child!"

"At this time, the doctors are all asleep. It's so remote out here, where can I find a doctor for you?"

"My darling! What do you want me to do? Am I supposed to watch her die?" The woman cried even louder.

The man shouted loudly:

"Why are you crying? She's just a cheap girl, if she dies, she dies! What's the point of being so heartless?

It's totally incomprehensible. Are you going to let me sleep or not?"

A woman next to him whispered:

"Sister, please don't cry. It's just a child. If she dies, she dies. Besides, she's a girl. What's there to be sad about?

If you make your husband angry, he will just leave you here. It would be bad if you were eaten by a big beast.

"In the final analysis, it's because you're not pregnant. If you could give birth to a son, your family would look up to you."
