Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

"You don't have to be afraid, we are not bad people, we just passed by here and wanted to inquire about something." Yun Yun explained.

It was fine if he didn't speak, but when he spoke, the woman seemed to go crazy, she closed her eyes, picked up the scissors and made wild gestures.Cheng Mu took out half a cake from his bag, "Sister, we have something to eat here, if the child is hungry, hurry up and feed it."

As soon as she heard the food, the woman opened her eyes and dared not move her hands, "I won't eat it, it's poisonous."

Cheng Mu broke off a piece and ate it in his mouth, "It's not poisonous, it's what we eat, no one would poison themselves."

The aroma of the pancake gradually diffused into the air, and Xiao Bao gulped, the woman put down the scissors and took the pancake, and soon started to gobble it up.

Wait until they are full before explaining the situation here.

"It wasn't like this before. The people lived very well. But last year, a group of people came from somewhere. They occupied the county government and made us all pay three times the tax. When the harvest was good, everyone thought This is temporary, who knows that this year the food has just been harvested, let us hand it over, if the county magistrate personally brings the officers and soldiers to grab it, everyone is now out of food, and it will be difficult to survive."

Yun Yun asked, "Then do you know what that group of people do?"

"I don't know, and no one knows, but the county magistrate is with them. It is said that the county magistrate left two months ago, but those people are still there, occupying Baiyang all the time, and no one dares to provoke them. You guys Are you going to Baiyang?"

"Yes, we have something to do there."

The old woman looked terrified, "Don't go there, what if something happens."

"Elder Sister, if you don't go, I won't go. No one cares about this matter. It's almost autumn. Does it mean that the people are starving to death?"

"But just the two of you, what's the use of going there, those people are said to be very fierce."

Cheng Mu comforted, "You all have rumors that they are fierce, but who has actually seen them? You just said that officers and soldiers come to collect food. They may be three or five people, but you are so scared."

The woman didn't think too much about it, "But it's too dangerous to go here. I see that you are dressed expensively, so you must be from rich families, let alone take this risk."

"We really have to go, people can't survive now, and we still care about what to do."

The woman sighed and said, "You guys rest here for one night and leave tomorrow, just treat it as a gift for us to eat."

At night Cheng Mu slept outside the bed, feigning sleep and awake, while Yun Yun fell asleep inside.

Cheng Mu pretended not to hear the sound of children crying and scolding in the next room in the middle of the night.After a while, the crying of the children disappeared, but the footsteps were moving in their direction.

When the footsteps came to their side, Cheng Mu didn't move, he was afraid that the family would start killing people to grab food.After waiting for a long time, the woman only heard a sigh and went back.

After the woman went back, Cheng Mu quietly got up and went to the yard, where the woman was sitting.

"Accidentally woke you up just now?"

Cheng Mu sat next to her and asked, "What are you doing in the house?"

"Xiaobao insists on going to Baiyang County with you. As a mother, I don't know what to do. I really thought about grabbing your food when I entered the house just now, but it was only for a while. When the things you brought are finished eating , we're still going to starve to death."

This person was still kind in his heart, Cheng Mu let down his vigilance towards them, "We have something important to go to Baiyang County, if you want, you can come with us."

"I'm a widow with a child. It's not easy. Now I'm starving to death here. It's my choice to be with you. You can call me Mrs. Meng. After my husband died of a serious illness two years ago, Just me and Xiaobao depend on each other for life."

"Sister-in-law Meng, if you really want to go, you must not have another heart."

"Don't worry, I'm not that cruel, or I would have done it just now."

When Yun Yun woke up the next morning, Cheng Mu told him what happened yesterday, and Yun Yun was shocked, "Is it useful for you to take them?"

Cheng Mu packed his luggage and said, "If you become a county magistrate, there must be someone to serve you in the county government. Xiaobao is just in his teens and can take care of you by his side. Sister-in-law Meng can also cook. If they are trustworthy, It’s better than looking for it again when the time comes.”

"You think so far. It seems that we have to take three steps now."

Sister-in-law Meng also packed the simple luggage and waited for them in the yard with Xiao Bao. After Yun Yun came out, she saluted and stood beside her.Cheng Mu had explained all the points to pay attention to on the road, and the four of them set off for Baiyang County.

When we approached the county seat, we finally had a taste of prosperity, but this prosperity was based on the poor people.

It happened to be in the evening when we arrived in Baiyang County, and Cheng Mu went to ask for two guest rooms, planning to go to the county office after a day's rest.After two or three days of getting along, Mrs. Meng also knew about the relationship between Cheng Mu and Yun Yun, but fortunately she accepted it calmly, without any strangeness.

I can't tell Mrs. Meng about going to the county government for the time being, Cheng Mu let them stay in the restaurant first.The county government is afraid that it will still be controlled by that group of robbers, so they can only outwit and not fight openly.

After wandering around the county office for a few days, Cheng Mu had a clear idea of ​​the situation in the county office.Now there is no county magistrate inside, but the officers and soldiers are there. If you want to catch those people in one go, you must let these officers and soldiers use their strength.

I don't know where I got the blueprint of the county government. Yun Yun studied the blueprint for a long time, and finally felt that the strength of the two of them was too weak, and it was impossible to break in directly.

"We've got to plan it out, and it'll be easy if there's a rescuer."

Cheng Mu drew several locations of the county government, "Look, these are places with weak guards, and it's easy to get in."

"Could it be that you want to break in directly?"

"We can go in directly and find the leaders of those thieves. The two of us together are more than enough to deal with two or three people, but we can't alarm the others."

Yun Yun agreed with this method, "You can go in and inquire first, and then act next time."

"Okay, let's make it like this first." Cheng Mu put away the drawings, "Sister Meng and the others must help us. We are inside, and there must be someone outside to meet us, otherwise it will be a problem to come out."

"Should we buy a ladder first, otherwise we really can't get in." Yun Yun joked.

"Indeed, you reminded me that the moon will be full in a few days, so it's more appropriate for us to go in that day."

"Cheng Mu, what if there are a lot of them, we will be chopped into meatloaf."

"I don't think so. If a large number of people really formed a powerful force, the last county magistrate could indulge them like this, and he would have reported to the state capital long ago."
