"General Lin, look, can you send troops here to urge you?"

General Lin frowned, turned to look at Xu Liang with a serious face.

Xu Liang rubbed his hands vigorously, and said flatteringly: "The further you hit the bottom, the easier it is to die. There are only a few hundred people on my mountain. If they die like this, even things of this quality will be dug up." not coming out"

"With so many people dying, we need to replace them with more people"

"Otherwise, I'll die all of a sudden, and there will be no one to do the work on the mountain. General Lin, do you think it makes sense?"

Xu Liang's purpose is not only that, there is not much food on the mountain, and there is not much water, more people can also prepare one more.

It's just these words, he won't be so stupid to say them.

"Okay, I'll send 200 people to Wu County to urge you today"

General Lin thought about it for a while, and felt that going on like this was really not an option. The higher-ups were in a hurry. If there was only such a small amount every time they delivered goods, and it was still a defective product, the higher-ups might be blamed, so he agreed to Xu Liang immediately. request.

Having achieved their goal, Xu Liang and the others did not stay any longer, and drove back to the mountain again.

As long as people who entered the mountain were not allowed to come down again, even if they were officials, they were no exception.

The soldiers at the foot of the mountain are not only guarding the people digging on the mountain, but also the officials guarding the people. Those who can come to Tushan, if they are not doing well in the yamen and want to find a way out, or they are offended human.

"General, do we really want to send someone to Wu County?"

"Go, there are only 200 people, nothing will happen"

General Lin looked at the backs of Xu Liang and others leaving, and shook his head.

A total of 1 of them are stationed here, and 200 is just a drop in the ocean. It would be ridiculous for Xu Liang to think that this would reduce their strength.

If Xu Liang were here, he would probably cry for injustice, because he really wanted to arrest someone to fill the upcoming vacancy.

Two hundred soldiers were ready to go, and set off before dawn, heading towards Wu County. They jogged at small steps, and none of them had horses.

On the other end, Bai Xia galloped on horseback and quickly caught up with the refugee team.

"Miss Bai is back, Miss Bai is back"

The people walking in the back were the first to notice Bai Xia's return, and couldn't help shouting excitedly. When they saw the two full carts behind Bai Xia, they shouted even louder, passing forward one after another.

Bai Xia drove the horse past, and soon reached the front of the team.

"White Summer"

"Miss"

Li Xiuyuan and others came up to meet him, Bai Xia took a look, Li San'er's wife was sitting on a cart with several older people, and some were holding babies.

She was a little fortunate that there were no babies under one year old in this group of refugees.

"Aunt Lin, fry these soybeans and change the food for the horses"

Bai Xia dismounted, and pointed to the bag containing the beans.

Then let Li Xiuyuan arrange for the team to stop and rest, and distribute the food to everyone.

This time was no different from the previous times. Each family still sent a person out to take away the food and money. Everyone also saved the new food they got, for fear that they would finish it all at once.

But I have to hurry every day, and I dare not stop eating.

"Many refugees followed behind"

"I don't know if the government has issued an order, but there are a lot more than before."

"I saw that many people pulled the carts, and there was some food in the carts"

"I haven't seen the official messenger, I don't know what the official plan is"

Bai Xia changed the food this time, besides getting food for everyone, he also wanted to inquire about the news. Logically speaking, the three of Li San'er ran away, and she hurt the later officials. Those officials should come after him soon. yes.

I didn't expect that after such a long time, no one came, which is unreasonable.

"Perhaps there are no horses in the yamen."

At this moment, Li San'er who rushed over interrupted.

Since that day, he brought his family to join Bai Xia and the others. He was going to find Li Xiuyuan after he settled down, but he didn't expect to encounter Bai Xia's kidnapping, so he didn't have time. When he came here today, he heard Bai Xia's doubts .

Yu Dashui is also here, along with Shuan Zi and Yu Dahai.

They are also the backbone members of the current refugee team.

Li San'er saw with his own eyes that Bai Xia went out with two carts of rags, but brought back two carts of real grain. He believed in what Li Xiuyuan said when he persuaded them that he had a reliable and stable source of grain. .

He has already escaped, so naturally he wants to find a way to surrender.

Seeing Bai Xia and the others looking at him, he took a few steps forward, asked Li Xiuyuan for instructions, and then sat down on the ground beside them.

"From here to Wu County, it will take four or five hours sooner. The county government stables only raise more than fifty horses. As far as I know, apart from our team riding ten horses at the beginning, we went to Ganzhou. There are also ten officials from the four directions of Fu, Chen County, Yun County, and Luo County on horseback."

"Are you also staring at refugees?"

Their team was sent by Wu County to watch them leave the country. Could it be that those are also there?

"I don't know about that. The county magistrate has never explained to us." Li San'er shook his head, and the officials in the yamen didn't know everything.

"But I'm sure they went in these four directions. The chief arrester, Li Cheng, is the direction of Ganzhou Prefecture where they took people."

"Li Cheng?" Bai Xia looked at Li San'er suspiciously, and a figure appeared in his mind. The middle-aged official who went to Lijia Village to count the grain tax receivables of each family was also the one who beheaded the refugees at the gate of Wu County. official errand.

"good"

"Chief arrester Li Cheng is the confidant of the magistrate of the county. If there is any important matter, the magistrate will assign him to handle it. And Ganzhou Mansion is where the Governor's Mansion of Ganzhou is located. What do you think the magistrate has to do?" The matter needs to be reported to Lord Inspector, so I sent someone to Ganzhou Mansion," Li San'er guessed.

He is just one of these head arresters in Wu County.

"What was your mission back then?"

Bai Xia was very curious about how the county magistrate arranged for Li San'er and his group.

Li San'er was silent for a while, seeing Bai Xia and the others looked at him curiously, moved back a little silently, and then said: "The magistrate ordered us to keep an eye on this refugee team. Until you leave the territory of Ganzhou and enter Tushan."

"Walking sixty miles every day, if someone violates the order and does not go sixty miles, he will be killed without mercy"

Yu Dashui and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Although they knew about this order from the government, but when it was said from Li San'er's mouth, especially with his murderous face, it was even colder from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

"Wait, why is it Tushan, not Quanzhou?" Yu Dahai felt something was wrong, he clearly remembered that the county magistrate's order was to let them go to Quanzhou, but the order to the official was just to watch them enter Tushan.

Is Tushan the Quanzhou border?
He looked at Li San'er in confusion, waiting for Li San'er to clarify.

It's a pity that Li San'er didn't know, so he just shook his head: "I don't know, but the order of the county magistrate is indeed only to watch you enter Tushan."
