My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

"It's time to finish work! Everyone, go to the stream to wash your hands first, and then go to the camp to line up for meals. I emphasize that if your hands are not clean, you will not be given meals!" When the meal time came, the supervisors shouted loudly.

Just yesterday, the employed villagers were afraid that they would be late and not have food to eat. Many people just wiped their dirty hands on their bodies a few times and hurriedly queued up to receive food.

After being discovered by Su Yunwan, he strictly ordered them to wash themselves before eating, so as not to cause trouble if they had a bad stomach.

The day laborers laughed loudly and talked to others who didn't know what was going on. They talked about the embarrassing incident yesterday of waiting in line without washing their hands and not receiving the meal. Everyone was talking and laughing before washing their hands before waiting in line.

The staple food of this meal is large, round and fragrant steamed buns with mixed noodles. There are three men, two women and one child.

Although it is said to be a mixed-noodle steamed bun, [-]% of it is actually made of white flour. Although the color is not very pretty, it still tastes delicious.

In addition to steamed buns, each person comes with a pickle, and there is also unlimited supply of ginger soup.

It was like a dream for those who came to work for the first time today to receive meals.

They have lived for decades and have never eaten such delicious steamed buns and distributed so many at once!

Many people wolfed down the food but were reluctant to finish it all, leaving one or two behind to take home to their families.

Mr. Dongfang saw all this with his eyes, the smile on his lips was a little more sincere, and he had a deeper understanding of the current head of the Qin family.

Qin Junyi hosted a banquet in honor of Mr. Dongfang. Two soldiers stood on the left and right behind Mr. Dongfang.

"Both of you, please sit down together." Qin Junyi said to the two soldiers after letting his side's Shi Yi and Shen Hou sit down.

Mr. Dongfang turned his head slightly, and the two burly men said "Thank you, General Qin", and then sat on the left and right sides.

During the banquet, there were staggered toasts and chips, which was very lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Dongfang showed his intention to solicit, but Qin Junyi rejected him: "I finally managed to make a way out of my life. I just want to live in a corner and live out my remaining days."

Mr. Dongfang sighed: "Sooner or later the court will regret losing General Qin."

Qin Junyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly but said nothing.

Mr. Dongfang's voice changed: "I heard that the Zhenbei Army has been disbanded. I wonder if those soldiers have been properly placed?"

Qin Junyi: "They come from all over the country and will be sent back to their hometowns according to regulations."

"The Zhenbei Army is actually the Qin Family Army. If the master moves, they won't follow him?"

This question is really sharp. Shen Hou and Shidu on the side suddenly darkened their faces, but Qin Junyi said calmly: "To tell you the truth, there is indeed a small group of loyal soldiers who will escort my people to Youzhou. As for the others, I am powerless. To raise troops, we can only order them to disarm and return to their fields."

"I don't know how many soldiers there are in this group. Master Zhou Mu should be mentally prepared to prevent disciples from misunderstanding and intercepting them outside the pass."

"I haven't received news from the northwest for a long time, so I don't know. However, I plan to let everyone open up wasteland and farm in Beiling Village and retreat to the countryside."

“What if Beiling Village doesn’t have enough farmland?”

"Then go to the back mountain and live on the mountain. I will restrain my clansmen and subordinates, and I will not use force to break the rules and disrupt the order of Ji County."

"General Qin is convinced of his words." Mr. Dongfang toasted with a glass.

Qin Junyi drank tea instead of wine, and then said: "However, although my family is in decline, my past living habits cannot be changed for a while, so I may recruit some refugees as servants or tenants to avoid doing everything myself. "

Mr. Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "It's understandable, as long as they follow the government order and settle in Beiling Village."

As for the troops coming from the northwest, Mr. Dongfang wisely did not mention the matter of settling down.

Seeing Qin Junyi nod, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Qin Junyi: "This is the land deed of the Qin family. I brought it to you."

After picking it up and taking it, Qin Junyi waved his hand and motioned for him to put it away without looking at it.

This piece of land deed no longer means much to him.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Li was going to Fucheng to go through the land deed procedures. When he came back, he said that he could not find the master register. When he went back a few days later, Qin Junyi knew Zhou Mu's aloof attitude.

If you want to gain a foothold in Beiling Village, you can't just show weakness.

Therefore, Qin Junyi stopped hiding his clumsiness and spoke directly with his strength.

The two soldiers sitting on Mr. Dongfang's left and right could not help but tense up and darken their faces when they saw Qin Junyi's contempt for the land lease.

Mr. Dongfang pretended not to see it, and added: "Speaking of refugees, a large number of refugees are coming now. They set off from Jizhou City and will arrive at Youzhou in a few days."

Qin Junyi's heart moved: "Jizhou? When we passed near Jizhou on the way down, the city of Jizhou was being besieged by refugees. Are they the same group of people?"

"Yes, but those refugees did not expect that the epidemic in Jizhou City had already been serious. After they captured it, they discovered that it was a huge plague field."

Qin Junyi's face changed slightly when he thought of those family members who had lost news, and then he covered it up with a serious injury and coughing.

Mr. Dongfang stood up and said: "General Qin is not feeling well, so I won't disturb you. When you arrive in Fucheng another day, I will sweep the couch to wait for you."

Qin Junyi weakly stayed with him for a few words, and then sent Mr. Dongfang to the gate of the courtyard. Zhao Lizheng, who had been serving as the backdrop, continued to see them out of the village.

Seeing them walking away, Shiyi whispered: "Master, Mr. Dongfang has been under the sight of the accompanying soldiers at all times since he stepped into the territory of Beiling Village. He seems to be under surveillance."

Qin Junyi nodded slightly: "Don't take the initiative to contact him in the future, so as not to expose him."

"Yes." Shiyi accepted the order.

Shen Hou frowned and said, "Master, do you think Mr. Dongfang is already a member of Zhou Mu?"

Qin Junyi asked, "He is Zhou Mu's staff. What's wrong with standing on the other side's side?"

"He's not..." Shen Hou hesitated.

One night half a month ago, by chance, he rescued Shiyi from Chang Shi's secret guard. Unexpectedly, he was one of his own.

Afterwards, the injured Shiyi asked him to help investigate the people on the list, thereby learning Dongfang Liang's other identity.

Decades later, only three people on the list are still alive.

Chang Shi was clearly rebellious and did many forbidden things to plunder the people's wealth and anointing.

Mr. Dongfang maintains his integrity, but his position is unclear because the old master has passed away and the new master does not know him.

Only General Xiao, who joined the military camp, remained loyal to the Qin family, and Sun Baihu from Beiling Village was the one he transferred.

Qin Junyi knew Shen Hou's unfinished words, but what Mr. Dongfang revealed about Jizhou had already occupied all his heartstrings: "Go and see if Madam has finished her meal, and then ask Doctor Hua to come over."
