After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Whether voluntary or not, County Magistrate Zhu is responsible for the lives of hundreds of people in Lijia Village.

"The princess has sent people to monitor the Zhu family. If Miss Bai needs anything, she can be there at any time!"

Bai Qingyun looked at the people who were happily playing with the fire in front of it. After traveling for a while, those who were afraid of the fire at first can now face it calmly.

"No need. Leave one person to know the whereabouts of the Zhu family. Someone will come to seek revenge on them in the future!"

Bai Qingyun himself had suffered a lot, and he knew very well that the only way to achieve happiness was to avenge one's own revenge with one's own hands.

Xiao Yan will grow up, and even if I have to rely on resources alone, I will make her a talent.

He should avenge Lijia Village himself.

As for Zhu Yu and his sister, I don’t know what role they play in this.

To be honest, Zhu Yu is indeed a good business partner. He knows etiquette and knows his limits. Bai Qingyun finds it very worry-free to do business with him.

But business is business after all, and it is not yet time for us to be close friends. If I let the Zhu family go because of business friendship, then I would be a truly cruel person.

"Is there any trace of the imperial edict?"

Wei Xi grew up in the palace and had lived a life of walking on thin ice for many years. He would not easily hand over the edict of succession to a village he did not know. Even if he did, he would send people to guard the village. It was not something that could be easily solved by a few bandits.

Bai Qingyun also unraveled the story behind the destruction of Lijia Village and discovered that Lijia Village was probably just a cover used by Wei Xi to confuse the other party, otherwise those bandits were buried in Lijia Village that night.

But the imperial edict is not in Lijia Village, so where is it?

Under normal circumstances, Bai Qingyun would not care about these things. Only after witnessing the tragic situation in Lijia Village with his own eyes did he start to care about preventing the fire from burning himself and his family.

"It's about the imperial edict, Twelve doesn't know anything about it. The princess only told Twelve to tell Miss Bai that the world will soon be stable!"

"I understand!"

It seems that this game will come to an end soon.

However, too many people have sacrificed their lives and too many families have been broken up. Dayang Village is just a small pawn in this game.

Fortunately, Bai Qingyun brought them to the edge of the chess game and safely left this deadly game.

Although the mountainside at night was not as lively as during the day, the noise still lasted for a long time.

The fishermen returned reluctantly only when it got dark.

There was joy on their faces, and it seemed that the harvest was good.

The branches of the trees are hung with dried salted fish, and at night when the cold wind blows you can smell the strong fishy smell.

The people in Dayang Village fell asleep in the fishy smell. They were not bothered by the taste, but felt at ease. With these fish, they would have food supply for the next few days.

Not only that, everyone has a few carps in their buckets. The carps are not big, but they can be sold at a good price.

The next morning, everyone was happy. The salted fish were taken down from the branches, the camping tents were taken down, and their bags were packed before they set off.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather has warmed up and the roads are easier to walk on, or because everyone is in a good mood and has a purpose in life, but the two-day walking journey was shortened a lot.

On the first day, everyone completely left the territory of Bingzhou Prefecture and entered the territory of Pingcheng Prefecture.

It was also on that night that everyone had a rare good night's sleep without having to worry about the pursuers from Bingzhou, and completely escaped the fate of being conscripted.

I had some money saved from selling potatoes, and I also caught a few carp last night. With money in hand, my life started to get better.

At noon the next morning, everyone saw the city wall of Sishui County.

"Miss Bai, Miss Twelve, after we enter the city today, can we go shopping?"

Yang Dashan hurriedly stepped forward to inquire. Before, when they were in Bingzhou Prefecture, they would go around towns and counties as everyone had been saving money for a long time.

Bai Qingyun chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, Uncle Yang, we'll have a good time this time. We'll find an inn in Sishui County this afternoon and set off early tomorrow morning!"

Not to mention others, even Bai Qingyun herself had been suppressing her desire to shop for a long time. She had been thinking about a carriage for a long time.

"Twelve, why don't you go and see what's going on at the city gate first?"

Bai Qingyun had sharp eyes and he saw from a distance that in addition to the soldiers guarding the city gate of Sishui County, there were also many civilians gathered.

When Bai Qingyun and the others approached, Twelve immediately informed them of the news he had found out: "These people are all refugees from Bingzhou."

After hearing this, Yang Dashan immediately asked, "Since they are civilians, why did the soldiers stop them from entering?"

"Too many people have fled recently. For the sake of public security in Sishui County, you need a deed of residence to enter the city!"

The household registration deed is everyone’s identity card. When the government recruits soldiers, the people’s household registration deeds will be handed over for easier management.

These people probably tried their best to escape after the government recruited soldiers.

But the documents of the people's deeds in Dayang Village were intact, which was why Twelve was not panicked. He just waited quietly for everyone to come to the city gate to take out the deeds.

It is not surprising that the Sishui County government did this. This method is always effective in capturing fugitives or runaway slaves.

Amid the envious gazes of the crowd, the villagers of Dayang Village entered the city.

I haven't seen such a lively scene for more than a month. It always feels novel to see the hustle and bustle in Sishui County.

Sishui County has a smaller population than Qujiang County due to its barren location. However, due to its vast land and sparse population, the streets in the county seat are much wider than those in Qujiang County.

Everyone first went to the largest inn in the county town. The rooms in the inn were divided into common beds and upper rooms. The common beds were in the backyard on the first floor, and thirty people were squeezed into one room. There were only two common beds in the inn, one for men and one for women.

It only costs 20 cents per person per night, and only accommodation is provided, not food.

When people from Dayang Village arrived, they directly rented two large bunk beds.

We have been eating and living together during this period of time, so it’s not a big deal. It’s just that we have been outdoors for a long time and we are just looking forward to having a good rest in bed tonight.

The Bai family did not save much, but instead asked for a few upper rooms.

The cheapest room for one night costs 150 wen, and the most expensive room costs nearly one tael of silver.

But the living environment is much better than that of a dormitory room, with a separate bathtub and free hot water.

Bai Qingyun and Xiao Yan live in a separate room. For some reason, the little girl is particularly clinging to Bai Qingyun today.

After washing up, the Bai family also planned to go shopping in Sishui County together.

The crowd split into two groups, one group followed the villagers to sell carp, and the other group followed Bai Qingyun to buy some daily necessities, and most importantly, horses!

To the people here, horses are like their own beloved cars. They are extremely fond of them when they see them. When the three brothers of the Bai family knew that they were buying horses today, they even clamored to come along.
