Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

What's the problem in Pingjiang Mansion?

Who among the people I met along the way was not busy making excuses to make money? The blatant charge for entering the city scares off the refugees, but among the wealthy people with substantial wealth, who wouldn’t obediently have their skin scraped off to find peace?

Now, how can people not be suspicious if they don’t even need money?

Xu Huaiyi asked thoughtfully, "What do the Li family and the Zhao family think?"

Mr. Liao understood what he meant, and explained with a wry smile, "They didn't decide to go to the city rashly. I asked someone to find out about the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture. His official reputation is very good, and there is no news of bullying the people. , and thought that since this place is close to the capital, no one would dare to cause trouble anymore, so I went in with peace of mind."

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he wasn't too surprised. It seemed that his recent travels had been smooth and the two families had gradually lost their vigilance. The news that they had found out through asking someone must be true? Who doesn’t know how to pretend? Being close to the capital means it must be honest and reliable? There are people committing crimes under the emperor's feet, not to mention that in Pingjiang Mansion, hundreds of miles away, it is normal to make some passing money.

It's not normal to act incorruptible.

It always feels like a dog was tricked into killing it.

This idea is a bit dangerous. Xu Huaiyi shook his head and said sternly, "If we don't go into the city, we should be more vigilant when we stay in the wild. It's not what some people want. I'm afraid they will have other plans, especially Mr. Liao." , We, the victims of the disaster, don’t have much wealth, and the other party may not necessarily take a fancy to you, but you are different."

Hearing this, Mr. Liao's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly said, "Brother Huaiyi, you see we are destined to be together. We have been together for so many days. We have advanced and retreated together to deal with bandits. From now on, we must also deal with other things." It’s best to work together in the same boat. Don’t worry, anyone who helps our Liao family will never treat him badly..."

Xu Huaiyi laughed and laughed, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, maybe I'm unfounded."

It's impossible to be unfounded. We just don't know what dirty tricks the other party will use.

After Mr. Liao left worriedly, he went to find Village Chief Xu and talked about these things. The success also made Village Chief Xu nervous and worried.

"Huaiyi, how do you think we should respond?"

"I don't have any good ideas right now. Let everyone be careful and keep their eyes open first, just in case the other party is looking for trouble."

Village Chief Xu nodded hurriedly in agreement, "I'm going to tell you right away. The people patrolling tonight don't dare to relax. If something is really wrong, we can make plans in advance."

"That's the reason."

Village Chief Xu went door-to-door to notify people. For a moment, some people were panicked. Compared to known disasters, unknown dangers were more disturbing.

Many villagers were too scared to sleep.

Even if the patrol team was there, it couldn't give them much sense of security this time.

They were even more looking forward to Xu Huaiyi's reaction.

Xu Huaiyi avoided people, took out his binoculars and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual. After he returned to the carriage, he whispered to his wife, "Tell me, what are the Pingjiang officials doing?" What's the idea? The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong..."

Gu Huanxi said thoughtfully, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

Xu Huaiyi frowned and said, "But where is this monster? There is nothing wrong with the city gate. It is said that it is just like before the famine. Anyone can enter, even the refugees who are begging for food are not stopped. This is simply unbelievable. The government Aren't you afraid that they might cause trouble and cause chaos in the city?"

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "Unless they can be sure that they have the ability to suppress the refugees and ensure that they will not cause trouble and pose no threat."

Xu Huaiyi's complexion changed, "They couldn't have... tricked people in to deal with them, right? This way they wouldn't even need disaster relief and resettlement, it would be all over."

"When you say disposal, you don't mean to kill them all, right?" Gu Huanxi pondered, "Probably not. That would be too big of a movement to hide. I guess there should be a more comprehensive place to go."

"for example?"

"Are there any coal or iron mines near here?"

Xu Huaiyi's heart moved, "You mean, they are likely to be secretly sent to the mine?"

Gu Huanxi nodded and said, "Otherwise, I really can't think of any use for them in luring the refugees in. Killing them is the last resort. They shouldn't be so crazy."

"What do you think of those wealthy households? What will happen to them?"

"Most of the property can't be saved. Staying in an inn and just calling him a thief is enough, but his life should be fine."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly and said, "For those merchants, robbing their property is more painful than taking their lives. I escaped the bandits before, who would have thought that they would stumble here. Speaking of which, Mr. Liao Being keen, I didn't go to the city to stay, so I escaped a disaster..."

He paused for a moment before sighing and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe there will be disaster if we stay outside. I just don't know what name they will use to make money."

Gu Huanxi said, "If you can't think of it, don't think about it. It's just such nonsense."

"Then we can't sit still and wait for death." Xu Huaiyi scratched his hair, feeling a little worried, "It's not easy to deal with people from the Yamen. Anyone who is gentle or serious will be in trouble."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be at a loss to come up with countermeasures.

Gu Huanxi said, "Why don't you ask me?"

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Do you have any idea?"

Gu Huanxi smiled and asked, "Can't I have it?"

Xu Huaiyi's eyes lit up and he hugged her shoulders excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, my wife is the smartest and has unparalleled strategies. Hey, what kind of tricks do you have, please tell your husband..."

"Keep your voice down." Gu Huanxi pinched him angrily, which made her skin crawl.

"It's okay, the children are all asleep." He said this, but Xu Huaiyi still listened. He lowered his voice and did not dare to move any more. He just kept urging, "Daughter-in-law, please hurry up." Tell me, it makes me anxious..."

Gu Huanxi whispered something into his ear.

Xu Huaiyi's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this. If he wasn't afraid of waking up the child, he would have wanted to hold his hands and laugh, "This method is good, this method is wonderful, my wife is like the living daughter Zhuge..."

Gu Huanxi interrupted unbearably, "Okay, close your eyes and sleep for a while so that you can have enough energy to act tomorrow."

Xu Huaiyi responded with "Yeah, yeah". With the countermeasures in place, he was finally able to sleep peacefully.

However, he didn't dare to sleep for too long. After all, he still had to sing a big play. Before dawn, he got up and went to Village Chief Xu and others to discuss how to sing the play.

Of course, he did not leave Master Liao alone.

Mr. Liao is also an indispensable part of this play. The more characters appear, the more exciting and realistic the play will be.
