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

"Wanwan, the Yue family has been sent to the Yanyun County government office. Chu Yi sent someone to ask how to arrange it."

In the evening, Qin Junyi strode back to his house and said to Su Yunwan, who was lying on his back.

"What's going on?" Su Yunwan sat up with his help, stroking Xianhuai's belly and asked doubtfully.

"My father-in-law found out about the impunity in Yanyun County and handed over a large amount of money to bribe the government."

"Where's Zhou Mu? He won't be kept as a hostage anymore?"

"This matter is too strange. I have asked Qingxuan to lead people to investigate secretly. Now dozens of people from the Yue family are stuck in the county government office. I think we should simply let them settle in the south of the inner city."

They were dispatched to the southernmost village, trying to create as much distance as possible.

Su Yunwan lowered her eyelashes and said indifferently: "Okay, let's do it. Let Chu Yi just be treated as an ordinary prisoner and there is no need to give any preferential treatment."

"It's all up to you."

In just a few words, the situation of the Su family was decided.

A few hours ago, Su's father had been waiting for a long time in the government office, but he was waiting for news that he would be dispatched to Yanyun County.

The Ouchi guard who was the leader of the mission called Su's father aside and told him about the Qin family's affairs in Yanyun County. He also said that he had paid a large price for him to bribe the government office and hoped that he would complete his mission as soon as possible and return to the court. Hall.

After saying that, he led the messenger and left the city in a hurry. He didn't even eat lunch before heading home.

Su's father looked at the back of the hurriedly leaving figure and fell into deep thought. It was not until two government servants came over to urge the departure that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"May I ask Master Chai, how far is this place from the county government?" The Qin family's vehicles have already left, and the Su family can only walk to Yanyun County.

"About thirty miles, hurry up, walk faster, don't delay our return to the city."

The Su family's journey to exile was first carried by a prison car, and then by a carriage called by Uncle Qin. They did not suffer the pain of walking. Who would have thought that they would have to walk a long way to reach Youzhou.

Under the urging of the government servants, everyone in the Su family, who usually traveled in sedan chairs or carriages, became exhausted after walking for a long time.

By the time they reached the county government office, they were sore and exhausted.

Su's father, who had just arrived, thought that the imperial guard had arranged everything. He didn't know that there was a Qin family member in the government office, so he just waited for the arrangements.

By the time they reached the southern village, the sky had completely darkened.

The centurion looked at the sudden arrival of the Su family. After listening to the Yamen's explanation of their origin, he pointed to the dilapidated thatched hut in the distance: "You stay there first, and I will arrange a responsible military field for you tomorrow morning. When you get here, I don't get it." Without permission, you are not allowed to leave the village!"

Su's father inquired: "Centurion, are the Qin family here too?"

"Which Qin family?" The centurion asked, his heart pounding.

"It's Qin Junyi's family who came to Youzhou at the end of last year."

The centurion immediately looked at the Yamen servant. The two took a few steps away and exchanged a few words with their heads lowered.

After returning, the centurion said: "This village is full of exiled prisoners. The Qin family you mentioned moved far away and is not here."

"Then where are they? Are they far away?" Su's father asked nervously, with a bad omen in his mind.

The centurion said impatiently: "There is so much nonsense, just stay here peacefully!"

After saying that, he went back to the house.

Su's father also wanted to inquire with the yamen servant, but the yamen servant quickly left because it was dark.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take his family to stay in a thatched house temporarily.

At the same time, the Qin Mansion study room in Beiling Village.

Several men of the Qin family gathered in a room to listen to Uncle Qin's talk about the situation in the northwest.

After learning that Beidi was testing frequently, everyone felt as if there was a thousand-pound stone in their hearts, and they were so depressed that they could hardly breathe.

Qin Junyi, who was sitting in the main seat, said in a deep voice: "Do the people in Liangzhou City know?"

"Before we left, we informed all the people of this serious situation, but it's hard to leave our homeland, alas!" Second Uncle Qin, who was at the head of the crowd, sighed.

Even if General Meng is a rare general who can be seen in a century, it is difficult for him to reach the sky with his own strength.

Those recruited recruits couldn't resist Beidi's iron hoof.

He had a hunch that Beidi would launch a massive attack soon, and Liangzhou City would be breached sooner or later.

"We have tried our best." Qin Junluo on the side comforted his father feebly.

Qin Junxian: "We finally managed to find a way to survive and transferred all the forces here. It is impossible to turn around and go back to support the new northwest army."

Qin Mu: "If we really want to go back, the Dog Emperor will be in a hurry again."

Qin Junyi nodded: "The top priority is to strengthen our own strength. In the future, our focus will be on expanding our military strength and strengthening military training."

"We need to save more food and grass." Second Uncle Qin reminded him.

"Wanwan has access to food and grass. We only need to ask her to exchange money for food. A few days ago, I surveyed several mineral veins in Yanshan, including a gold mine, which is enough for the next few years."

Speaking of which, the iron ore discovered by Qin Junyi is right behind the cast iron villa built in winter.

This made him have to suspect that Wanwan already knew the location of the iron mine.

And since she has discovered the location of coal and iron mines, she probably already knows about other mineral veins.

Qin Junyi did not do anything to help, but worked hard and after many days of geological survey, he finally found a gold mine.

After that, he sent his soldiers to take turns mining, refining gold bricks, gold bars, gold leaves, etc., and gave half of it to Su Yunwan as the cost of purchasing grain.

Now that the Qin family's military pay and food problems have been solved, Qin Junyi decided to start strengthening his troops.

After that day, the Qin family began to quietly send people to the disaster area to recruit refugees, and then traveled over the mountains and ridges to avoid the eyes and ears of the state pastor. The strong men joined the army and their families farmed. The power of the Qin family's army quietly grew.

It was a cold spring, and everyone in the Su family managed to survive the night. Shortly after dawn, they were called out again. The centurion scolded: "What time has it been? You still think you are rich and noble! Go to work in the fields!" "

"Sir, I am Qin Junyi's father-in-law. Please be accommodating and give us one day to meet our daughter whom we have not seen for a long time."

When Su's father saw that neither the yamen nor the centurion wanted to mention the Qin family, he decided that the Qin family had a unique position in Yanyun County, so he immediately revealed his identity and was eager to see his eldest daughter.

The centurion was startled, "Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true." Su's father nodded.

The centurion was in trouble for a moment, recalling in his mind the whisper of the Yamen servant yesterday: treat the Su family as ordinary prisoners in exile.

It can be seen that the head of the Qin family does not want to see the Yue family, so he is not afraid of revenge.

With a decision made in his heart, the centurion said: "Now is the plowing season. You should go plowing the land first and wait until you are busy for a while."

Su's father asked his son to give him some silver, but the centurion had already received the order. No matter how hot-tempered he was, he did not dare to be accommodating, so he had to reprimand: "Go away, don't buy me with silver. You must give them all to me today!"

The centurion arranged more than 100 acres of wasteland for the Su family based on the number of people, and took everyone to the farm tool house: "All the children carried baskets on their backs to collect grass and feed the cows. The adults sent two people to drive the cows to plow the field, and the remaining people took Big rakes loosen the soil and intensive cultivation.”

Driven by the centurion's whip, everyone in the Su family had to pick up farm tools and act passively.
