After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 13 Taizhou Mansion and King Wuxing

……

As soon as they arrived at the camp the next day, Qin Liupo took Qin Xiaomi and ran into the forest. After the victims finished digging the tree roots, she asked Qin Xiaomi to jump into the tree pit and look at the soil.

After finding the cicada nymphs, they noted the location. After the victims had almost left the forest, Grandpa Qin and the others went into the forest to dig for cicada nymphs.

Although I didn't get anything every day, after searching for a month, I had accumulated nearly a hundred kilograms of dried cicada nymphs when I was approaching Taizhou Mansion.

Qin Liupo was very pleased with herself, but in order to deceive others, she would drag the victims to cry every day, saying that they were about to run out of food, regretted following Grandpa Qin's group, and wanted to go back to Qin Laojiu's group.

But when Qin Jiupo agreed that her family could go back, she made excuses and ran away.

After returning to the resting place, he said to Qin Xiaomi and the others: "Bah, they are reduced to sending their daughters to sleep with people in exchange for food. They still want my mother and her family to go back. What are they daydreaming about?"

Qin Laojiu's group became even more shameless. They gave Qin Erchun and several girls from the village to Liu Lichang's family. After taking the opportunity to get in touch with Liu Lichang, he led his clan members to join Liu Lichang and pawned half of their money to the Liu family. slave.

Qin Dashi's daughter-in-law, He, hugged her daughter Ertao tightly and said fearfully: "It's a good thing that we followed the fifth uncle. If we had followed their group, our girls would have been given away by them."

Qin Dashi and the others cursed: "They will suffer retribution if they disgrace their ancestors so much."

Qin Laoliu was the most thoughtful and said: "We have separated the clans and cut off all ties, so let them die."

Qin Liupo nodded again and again, and talked about Qin Zheng's family: "Qin Huiwen's daughter-in-law is incredible. She got married to Liu Lichang's third brother, the widower. She said that she would marry him when she arrived at Taizhou Mansion, and even threw her child to him. Qin Dashi led him and said that this is the Qin family's seed and must be raised by the Qin family."

Qin Dashi failed to sleep with Qin Zheng, and ended up raising a son for Qin Zheng and Qin Huiwen, completely becoming a laughing stock.

"Qin Dashi deserves it. This is the retribution for his family to help Qin Huiwen's family do evil!" Qin Cunquan said bitterly.

But Grandpa Qin still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when his former sect members were living in such a bad way now.

Seeing that he was sad, Qin Xiaomi changed the topic: "Grandpa, we will arrive at Taizhou Mansion in a few days. We have to run faster from tomorrow on. The victims of the eight prefectures in Zhongyuan Prefecture are fleeing famine. There are too many people. We will be late. I'm afraid. We can’t receive relief supplies.”

Grandpa Qin was excited when he heard this: "Xiaomi is right. From tomorrow on, we will have to travel half an hour longer to get relief supplies."

The next day, Grandpa Qin and the others walked much faster. They traveled half an hour longer than other victims every day, and they only stopped to rest in the evening.

The closer we got to Taizhou Prefecture, the more victims there were. The villages and towns along the way were very afraid of the victims causing trouble, so they organized a large number of young people and set up wooden barriers to block the roads, preventing the victims from approaching the intersections of villages and towns.

The people in the county are even more vicious.

The third squad of government officers, soldiers from the military station, and manpower hired by wealthy families all drove the victims away, not to mention staying near the county road. They were not even allowed to stay or camp.

"Get away, everyone. This is our Qinghu County's territory. Everything belongs to our Qinghu County. If you dare to dig into the mountains and forests, the county government will arrest you and make you a mining slave!"

The victims were despised and driven away all the way, and were worse than beggars. Fortunately, it was only three days to go to Taizhou Mansion. I heard that disaster relief was being provided there, and the victims had hope, so they did not cause trouble and just hurried on.

……

Three days later, the accompanying capital Taizhou Mansion was guarded by [-] northwest troops a hundred miles outside the city. Checkpoints were set up to prevent the victims from advancing even half a step further.

More than a dozen messengers shouted at the checkpoint: "By order of King Wuxing, all victims will line up where they are and wait for resettlement. Anyone who dares to break through the checkpoint will be shot on the spot!"

The Northwest Army is a frontier army that fights foreign enemies all year round. It really dares to kill people.

The reason why the Northwest Army came to Taizhou Mansion was because of King Wuxing... King Wuxing was the younger brother of the current Emperor Ningkang. He was framed and murdered by Emperor Ningkang 20 years ago. As a result, King Wuxing's wife and mother clan were exterminated. Wuxing The king was even thrown to the Rong Kingdom, where he worked as a slave for three years and suffered inhumane hardships.

But King Wuxing was a ruthless man. Not only did he survive in the Rong Kingdom, he also raised a large army on the border between the two countries. In the past few years, he even subdued the Northwest Army. At the beginning of this year, taking advantage of the frequent disasters, he used the evil of the emperor to lead On the grounds of natural disaster, he issued a petition to the emperor and led 20 troops to the capital, vowing to destroy Emperor Ningkang.This is the reason why Zhongyuan Prefecture has been affected by the disaster for so long, but the imperial court has not provided relief... The throne is more important than disaster relief.

However, even if King Wuxing captured the capital and took the throne, it would still be the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, after discussing with Marquis Wenchang of Taizhou Mansion, King Wuxing decided to join forces to provide disaster relief.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"All newly arrived victims should take their household registration papers and queue up under the black flag to register and receive a wooden sign. After receiving the wooden sign, they can go to receive relief supplies. Do not run around. Anyone who runs around and causes trouble will be killed on the spot! "

Groups of soldiers from the Northwest Army were shouting as they shuttled among the victims.

Grandpa Qin called to the big guys: "Quickly line up, don't run around...keep the girl and baby in the middle, hold hands, don't get separated."

Several families hurriedly followed the instructions, protecting the women and children in the middle, and slowly moved forward with the victims in front.

But there were so many victims that it took a full two hours before Grandpa Qin and the others arrived.

"Stop!" Four soldiers wearing armor and holding knives, full of bloody evil spirit, stopped them. They stared at them with arrow-like eyes. After a while, they were released and shouted to the registration desk behind them: "My eyes and skin are all damaged." It’s normal, I haven’t eaten red meat, so I can register.”

Grandpa Qin led the whole family to the registration desk, took out the thickly wrapped household registration paper, and solemnly handed it to the registration clerk: "Please take a look, sir."

The clerk stared at Grandpa Qin with a serious look and asked: "Where are you from, how many people are in your family, what you did for a living in the past, who you escaped from famine with, and is there a mutual sponsor with a different surname to prove your identity?!"

People with the same surname are in a group, and they are afraid of collectively lying, so they require different surnames for mutual protection.

Grandpa Qin confessed everything and took out a mutual guarantee letter jointly signed by Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family.

After reading it, the scribe asked Grandpa Qin to call all the family members forward. After asking if there was any difference, he printed the official seal on the household registration paper, pointed to the side and said: "Go and get the wooden sign. Only with the wooden sign can you get supplies."

"Thank you, sir." Grandpa Qin thanked him repeatedly. After taking his family to receive the wooden plaque, he went to the side to wait for Jiang Dalang and the others.

The waiting time was uneasy, as some victims with unusual eyes and skin were arrested: "They had eaten red meat, were taken away, and sent to the battlefield to be used as arrow targets!"

The captured victims wanted to escape, but the Northwest Army did not give them a chance. They directly killed them and took away those who were still alive.

Grandma Qin covered the eyes of Qin Xiaomi and the others and comforted them: "It doesn't matter whether you are afraid or not. It has nothing to do with us. They deserve it for their crimes."

Qin Xiaomi was not afraid at all, but the way Grandma Qin covered her eyes to comfort her touched her very much.

"Xiaomi, we got the wooden sign." After Jiang Dalang and the others received the wooden sign, they came over to gather with them.

"Let's go get the supplies." Grandpa Qin took several family members and ran to the place where the supplies were distributed.

There were more victims lining up here, and it wasn't until it got completely dark that several families received supplies.

But the supplies were pitiful: "Each household was given only one quilt and one pound of grain for ten days."

Dangdang Dangdang!
The gong sounded again, and the soldiers of a small group of five people shouted: "Everyone who has received the supplies gather here and follow us to the camp for resettlement!"

Grandpa Qin and others hurried to gather, and after gathering a hundred households, the soldiers took them away, and they walked for half an hour before reaching the camp.

"Every family has a flag. When you see an open space, put it up. That will be your family's residence for the next ten days. Don't take down the flag and occupy the land randomly. Anyone who violates it will be beheaded in public." After the soldiers finished explaining, they left.

Grandpa Qin and others hurriedly planted flags to occupy the open space.

By the time they were completely settled, it was already midnight. They were tired and hungry. One of them grabbed a handful of roasted cicada nymphs to satisfy their hunger. After arranging the vigil, the men and women separated, wrapped in the tattered quilts they received, and fell asleep.
