Farming and reading family

Chapter 931 Refugees

The smoother other things go, the less tolerant Deng Yu is of unpleasant things.

For example, the Chen family who has always been against him.

Now half of the honeycomb coal in Qinzhou City belongs to the Chen family, and the remaining half is not selling well.

Despite such huge benefits, the Chen family is unmoved. Why are they pretending to be so noble?

It was heard that Xu Boyan and Prince Qing had a falling out, so the court asked him to buy pearls and go on a diplomatic mission to Shuoxi.

If he never comes back this time, the coal mine in Jiming Mountain will have to change its name.

When the coal mine is gone, he will see how the Chen family sells honeycomb coal.

He was not in a hurry to think about these things, because he would slaughter the sheep once they were fat.

However, the things he was transporting had just left Qinzhou City when he encountered a group of refugees. When the refugees passed by the people transporting the things, they suddenly attacked and robbed the things.

Gao E actually knew the leader, Hua Jianxing, who was beaten unconscious by Gao E in He County.

Hua Jianxing had been having bad luck in recent years and finally fell into the position of a hanger-on, so when the slave rebellion started, he relied on his eloquence to win over a group of rebellious tenants.

Afterwards, he led the tenants and refugees to burn and kill everywhere. If they couldn't win, they would run away, and they actually reached the territory of Qinzhou.

This reminded him of the time when he was beaten up with a club in He County. He felt that his life had been getting worse and worse since that time. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he planned to occupy He County.

The one who killed all the outsiders who went to He County must be one of them.

As for robbing this group of people, it was a sudden impulse for them. Who knew that they were such a fat sheep?

After the robbery and distribution of the items, everyone looked excited, thinking that Qinzhou was their blessed land and they would surely be able to make great success here.

They even thought about being crowned kings and appointed prime ministers after conquering cities and plundering territories.

"We can't capture Qinzhou City now. I know there is a He County not far from Qinzhou City. The people there are very rich." Hua Jianxing persuaded.

"We will first occupy He County and recuperate. When the world situation becomes established, we will follow the trend and will surely be able to make unstoppable progress." Hua Jianxing said excitedly.

These people used to be tenants and slaves, treated like dogs by their bosses and masters. Now that they have killed people and robbed things, they think that it is nothing and they deserve to be the best of the world.

Coupled with Hua Jianxing's instigation, these people became more excited than each other.

They did not enter Qinzhou City but went directly to He County.

It was already dark when Deng Yu learned the news. After being shocked, he immediately went to find Lord Yan to discuss the matter of the bandits attacking Qinzhou City.

As a result, after preparing for the whole night, I didn’t see anyone at all.

Ji Wuyang arranged a sentry post not far from Qinzhou City. When the refugees turned onto the official road of He County, the sentry would ride back to report.

Ji Wuyang received the news at dawn, and immediately sent a carrier pigeon to Batou Village and began to arrange the affairs of Jiming Village.

Jiming Village is a new village and very remote. Unless you know it well, no one will rush here first.

Gao E's heart skipped a beat when she received the carrier pigeon. Things happened faster than she expected.

She quickly packed up and went to find her elder brother, and asked Lu Qingluo to notify the academy and Cao Geng.

"Is it really coming?" Chen Qing looked solemn.

Although they made a lot of preparations, they still felt a little unsure in the end.

They are all honest farmers. They are satisfied with having a few acres of land to feed themselves and have no intention of opposing anyone.

"Yeah." Gao E nodded.

She had never encountered such a thing, but she knew that there had been countless such things in history, and she just happened to encounter them.

"I'll go talk to Uncle Zheng." Chen Qing's mind was in a mess.

Gao E also returned home and saw a pigeon in her yard.

She tilted her head and looked, and saw a letter box on her foot, which was not the one Ji Wuyang put back.

She took some food and asked the pigeon to come over, and then took off the mailbox from the pigeon.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Gao E wanted to curse.

Zhu Mo went to deliver the exchanged silver to her, but he encountered the tenants who were rebellious, so he had to take the silver and return to the capital.

In order to ensure the safety of the silver, Xu Boyan had no choice but to not give it to her for the time being.

She was still thinking about this income, but now she doesn't have to think about it anymore.

Now that the slave rebellion is breaking out everywhere, Xu Boyan’s mission to Shuoxi will not go smoothly.

She thought about going straight to Wei Kai.

"Come with me to He County to buy some things." Gao E said directly.

She is very angry now, because that is one hundred thousand taels of silver.

The two men went to buy all the sulfur and saltpeter in He County. Wei Kai knew what the boss wanted to do.

"I have recently developed some new mechanisms." Wei Kai rubbed his hands.

"Okay, let's try them all." Gao E thought that if those people dared to provoke her, she would let them know what it meant to be blown up.

When they came out of He County, barricades had been set up at the gate of He County, and there were straw huts around to accommodate the refugees.

"Sister." Lu Hao was about to go to Baotou Village when he met Gao E at the city gate.

Gao E turned her head and looked at Lu Hao.

"Is it..." Lu Hao asked tentatively.

"Yes, let Lu Erniang and the others go into the city." Gao E nodded.

"Okay." Lu Hao immediately went to find Lu Er Niang.

He County has posted a city lockdown notice, and only relatives with He County household registration can enter the city.

When Mrs. Wu saw that something was wrong, she immediately closed the door and took her family to seek refuge with her elder sister-in-law.

As soon as Gao E walked in, she followed.

"You were doing fine in the city, why did you come to me?" Gao E did not inform Wu and the others because she thought they would be fine in the city.

"I feel uneasy when I'm not with my elder sister." Mrs. Wu clutched her chest. "I've been hearing about slave rebellions and large armies lately. Could it be that the world is about to fall into chaos?"

"It's a bit messy indeed. I'm here now." Gao E said helplessly, "I'll arrange for you to stay first."

Just as we had arranged for Wu and the others, Chen Tao also arrived. As soon as he arrived at the door, he asked someone to take all the things out of the car.

"What are you doing?" Gao E looked at the big boxes.

"This is my wealth." Chen Tao said seriously.

"Even if something really happens, you should stay in the city." Gao E had to say it so that they would understand.

"Master, this is definitely the safest place." Chen Tao said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'll live in the kindergarten with Zhengyan and the others." Gao E felt that being trusted was also a burden.

"Those things of mine..." Chen Tao looked at his master.

"I'll keep it for you." Gao E said helplessly.

Chen Jie and his family came back in the afternoon. Gao E was worried that Lu Hao's family would come as well. Fortunately, they didn't come until dark, so they probably didn't come.

Those refugees came here on foot, and it would take them one or two days to reach He County.

These two days are enough for them to make a lot of preparations.

The last time Hua Jianxing came to He County, he was riding in a carriage with a beautiful woman by his side.

This time he brought a group of rebels.

No, he is also a traitor now.

He had already thought it through. When the time came, they would split into three waves. They would first enter the city as refugees, and then find a dark and windy night to launch a surprise attack.
