The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Xinyang Mansion is the capital city of Xinyang Prefecture. The city walls are majestic and towering, and the city gates are wide and thick. Accordingly, the inspection of people coming and going is also stricter.

Tens of thousands of refugees have gathered outside the city wall, and everyone is waiting for officials from Xinyang Prefecture to settle in for them.

As long as they can register in Xinyang Prefecture, they will no longer be refugees fleeing famine, and they can also be allocated houses and fields with the help of the government.

At the gate of the city, several officials in official uniforms had set up tables and chairs to sit down, and dozens of soldiers stood on both sides to maintain order at the scene.

A middle-aged man in a green official uniform shouted loudly to the people queuing up: "Everyone, line up, the Marquis has given an order. As long as the people who have escaped from the north will arrange settlement for you. Don't Don’t fight if you jump in line, we won’t leave any of you behind.”

Many people cried with joy after hearing the officials' words.

Some people praised Yongdinghou for loving his people like a son.

Some people are grateful that they can survive safely after months of fleeing.

Some people are beginning to look forward to a new life after settling down.

After Jiang Ci and Yan Fugui chatted, Yan Fugui returned to the front of the team in Xinghua Village.

When Jiang Ci walked back to the carriage, Yan Shu opened the curtain and jumped out.

"What did the village chief say to you?"

Jiang Cidao: "The villagers hope that people from several villages can be assigned to one place when they settle down."

"It would be the best if we can be divided together. Does the village chief want us to ask Liu Hanyue for help?"

Jiang Ci nodded: "You don't necessarily have to find him. Liu Yunzhao's brother-in-law Pei Chengye is the head of the Xinyang Palace. As long as he is willing to come forward, other officials will give him some favors."

A problem that Pei Chengye could solve, he didn't want to go to Liu Hanyue for help, let alone let the little fox go to him.

Yan Shu thought to himself that Pei Chengye was an official of Xinyang Mansion, and Jiang Ci was kind to the Liu family, so it was only appropriate to ask him for help.

"Then go find Pei Chengye."

Jiang Ci nodded: "I'll go there now."

Yan Shu said: "I will go with you."

Jiang Ci responded, and the two of them walked towards the Liu family's motorcade behind the team.

the other side

When Nanzhi saw Jiang Ci and Yan Shu heading towards the Liu family's team, she immediately walked to the carriage to report to her master.

"Master, I just saw Miss Yan and Mr. Jiang going to the Liu family's team."

In the car, Liu Hanyue lay lazily on the couch, and slowly opened her eyes after hearing Nanzhi's words.

"Go and see."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu came to the Liu family's team. Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Liu Yunzhao, Pei Chengye and the three girls from the Liu family all got off the carriage and came to greet them.

"Good nephew, Miss Yan."

"Sister Yan." Liu Yuanxin ran straight to Yan Shu and took her arm enthusiastically.

"Sister Yan, you came just in time. My mother and sisters just made some pastries. Come and try them."

Mrs. Liu explained: "Tens of thousands of people are waiting to enter the city ahead. We don't know when it will be our turn. We were bored and made some snacks to pass the time. Xin'er just clamored to deliver some to you personally. , by chance you guys are here.”

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Mrs. Liu and several girls made it by themselves, so I want to have a taste."

Liu Yuanxin excitedly took Yan Shu's hand and walked towards the tent not far ahead.

"Let's take a walk and let the men chat. Let's go eat some snacks. I have some xiangyinzi left over. It's the best way to go with the snacks."

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci: "Then you guys talk first. I'll accompany Mrs. Liu and the three girls to sit there for a while."

Jiang Ci nodded: "Okay."

After Yan Shu followed Mrs. Liu, Liu Yuanxin and others to leave, Liu Yunzhao was the first to speak.

"Brother Mubai, do you have anything to say to us?"

Jiang Ci looked at Pei Chengye: "I have something to ask Lord Pei for help."

Pei Chengye hurriedly bowed and said, "You're welcome, Master Jiang. You have been a life-saving grace to our family. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Pei Chengye knew that Jiang Ci was definitely not a thing in the pool, and it would be a good thing for him if he could accept his kindness.

Jiang Ci expressed the villagers' idea of ​​settling together, and Pei Chengye smiled and said: "I still think it is an important matter. Those officials are familiar with me. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, leave this matter to me."

Jiang Ci bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Lord Pei."

After inquiring about the news, Nanzhi returned to the carriage and told Liu Hanyue that Jiang Ci asked Pei Chengye to help settle the villagers.

Liu Hanyue was silent for a while, and snorted in her heart. The matter of registering was just a word to him, but she actually went far away to find Pei Chengye for help?

It was probably Jiang Ci's idea again.

Although he felt a little unhappy, he had promised at that time that he would help the Xinghua Village Escape Team arrange their settlement. Since he had agreed, he could not make a mistake.

"You go and notify Chen Taidao and ask him to settle the fleeing team as soon as possible and try to arrange it as close to Xinyang Mansion as possible."

"Yes."

At the same time, Pei Chengye went to the city gate in person.

"Master Chen, please follow me."

The two officials who were busy sitting at the table raised their heads.

When they saw Pei Chengye, whom they hadn't seen for several months, the two of them stood up and came forward to greet him.

"Master Pei, you haven't seen me for more than three months. Are you okay?"

"I heard that you took leave and went to Nanwei Mansion. Is Mrs. Pei brought back safely now?"

Pei Chengye smiled hurriedly and exchanged greetings with the two of them: "My wife and her family are waiting in the queue over there to enter the city. We just came back today and saw a few adults working here, so we came to say hello."

Chen Taidao said with a busy smile: "Don't be polite to the rest of us. We haven't seen each other for several months. After we are done with the settlement of these refugees, we will have a good get-together."

"I'm going to get together, and I'll be hosting a banquet for you all. Please remember to show your respect."

"That's for sure!"

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Pei Chengye casually stated the purpose of coming here.

Master Sui asked: "How many people are there in the escape team you mentioned?"

"More than two thousand people."

Chen Taidao stroked his goatee: "The counties near Xinyang Prefecture are the most prosperous. Compared with the remote counties, the population is much larger. There is really no village that can accommodate more than 2,000 refugees at once."

Mr. Sui's eyes suddenly lit up: "I thought of a place. There was a mudslide in Banpo Village two years ago. The entire village was buried. Many villagers died at that time. The surviving villagers later moved to other villages. Yes, but it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the village is still built on the mountainside. The next trip to the mountain will take three or four hours to walk, but it is not too far from Xinyang Mansion."

Mr. Chen nodded: "It seems that among the nearby counties, only Banpo Village in Pei County can accommodate more than 2,000 people, and there are a lot of mountainous areas there. Although the houses are damaged, they have a large number of people and they need to repair them." They can just live there for now, and then they can buy two more houses after the new year when they have money in their hands."

Pei Chengye also has some impressions of this Banpo Village.

"Do similar disasters often happen over there?"

"That's not true. According to the records in Peixian County, that happened only once in hundreds of years. That year, the entire Xinyang Prefecture had more rain than in previous years. In particular, Peixian County became the hardest hit area because of the continuous rain there. After more than ten days of heavy rain, the mountains were washed away by rainwater and the soil became soft, which is why the disaster occurred."
