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

Chapter 21 Settlement and Help

Chen Xiaoqi was agitated when he heard this. He was afraid that something might happen to Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family. He suppressed his childhood fear and called his soldiers: "Come on, follow me to the west of the village."

But after a while, Grandpa Qin and the others arrived.

According to Qin Xiaomi's instructions, Grandpa Qin yawned and rolled his eyelids to explain: "Chen Xiaoqi, I'm sorry, we listened to wild cats meowing all night last night and were very sleepy, so we came late."

Xiaomi said that if he wanted the girls in his family to sleep peacefully at night, he had to take the initiative to spread the rumor that the west side of the village was haunted.

"Is there a wild cat meowing? Why didn't we hear it?!"

"Is it a real wild cat? You won't meet that thing, right?"

The victims were scared to death and hurriedly bowed around them.

Chen Xiaoqi was also scared and asked quickly: "Is there really a wild cat meowing all night?"

"Yes." Grandpa Qin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Chen Xiaoqi. We will go find the wild cat nest today and kill them. It will be quiet at night."

The victims hurriedly said: "You must not provoke them. If they are like that, they will take revenge on the whole village!"

If you want to die, don't hurt us.

The victims who failed to grab a good house yesterday began to ridicule: "Who told you to covet the good houses in the west of the village? Now you are entangled. Move quickly, otherwise your life will be gone."

Grandpa Qin said with a dark face: "It's just a few wild cats, what's there to be afraid of... The west side of the village is not haunted!"

"Hahaha, old man Qin, just be stubborn. You will regret it when your lives are taken."

The goal has been achieved. Grandpa Qin ignored them and asked Chen Xiaoqi: "Chen Xiaoqi called us here today, but what big thing do you want to talk about?"

Chen Xiaoqi nodded: "You were originally assigned to the fourth village, but now you have settled in the deserted village, so you, the head of the household, must follow me to the county government office, explain clearly the villagers in the fourth village blocking the road, and then go to the household house to register and officially settle in the deserted village. .”

Naturally, the victims had no objection.

However, Jiang Dalang said: "Chen Xiaoqi, the villagers in the four villages are very cruel. What if they come into the village to bully people while you are away? We are disaster victims and have no identity, so we can't stop them."

Sheng Ting didn't want Susu to be troubled by those unruly people while he was away.

Chen Xiaoqi: "You're right to remind me... Ahu, you lead five brothers to guard the entrance of the village. If the Zhou family dares to break into the village and cause trouble, they will move my uncle from Fucheng out."

"Yes!" Fang Hu patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Xiao Qi, we will definitely get this job done."

"Heads of each household, set off for the county government office!" Chen Xiaoqi immediately took the victims' household heads out of the village. When they reached the three-way intersection, they met Team Leader Zhou.

Team leader Zhou looked at him and smiled: "Chen Xiaoqi, you really dare to place all the victims in a ghost village. If the county magistrate knew about this, he would praise you for your ability."

Chen Xiaoqi fired back: "Team leader Zhou, you should take care of yourself first. If your Zhou family wants to turn the victims into slaves, I will definitely report it to the county captain!"

"Oh, idiot." Team leader Zhou didn't care about this kind of raw melon and egg, and led the government servants to the county town in a mule cart.

Chen Xiaoqi was afraid that Team Leader Zhou would take the lead. After arriving in the town, he spent money to rent three donkey carts: "The county is too far away. Let's go by car so that we can get to the county government office early."

With such a stupid person and a lot of money, the head of the household who had a daughter looked at Chen Xiaoqi and his eyes changed.

Especially Village Chief Huang, who insisted on squeezing into a donkey cart with Chen Xiaoqi, and was greeted with greetings and greetings on the way, which annoyed Chen Xiaoqi very much.

The donkey cart was very fast, and they arrived at the county seat before mid-afternoon.

Because there were not many heads of households affected by the disaster, Chen Xiaoqi was able to bring them into the county by relying on his relationship with his old uncle in Fucheng.

But the victims failed to enter the county government office and were stopped outside.

"You guys wait here while I go find the County Lieutenant." Chen Xiaoqi entered the county government office and saw the County Lieutenant Empress Yang. He told Team Leader Zhou and the villagers from the four villages to block the road and told them that they wanted to turn the disaster victims into slaves.

"Lord County Lieutenant, the Zhou family has gone too far this time, and must be killed. Don't encourage their cruel behavior!" Chicheng's heart for justice is unparalleled.

Lieutenant Yang, however, grimaced: "Even if the Zhou family goes too far, you can't take all the victims to deserted villages for resettlement!"

Chen Xiaoqi was puzzled: "The deserted village has been vacant for many years, and the villagers in the four villages dislike the victims. It is the best way to resettle the victims in the deserted village."

Why is the county captain still angry?
If he hadn't been worried about his old uncle in Fucheng, County Lieutenant Yang would have killed him right now: "Do you know why the adults want to distribute the victims to various villages?"

Chen Xiaoqi shook his head: "I don't know my humble position, please help me clarify my doubts."

County Lieutenant Yang: "We are afraid that the victims will be difficult to control, so we have to place them separately. It's better for you to put them into a village. If one day they work together to cause trouble, our entire Baofu County government will suffer." fall!"

You think that placing the victims together is a good thing to save time and effort, but you don't know that this is laying the root of the disaster, which is what adults least want to see.

This is why Team Leader Zhou is so confident that he dares to laugh at Chen Xiaoqi's stupidity.

"My lord, please forgive me. I didn't think of this in my humble position." Chen Xiaoqi was startled and asked cautiously: "My lord, what should I do now? The heads of households affected by the disaster are still waiting outside."

County Lieutenant Yang frowned: "Take them back and settle down in whatever village they are assigned to."

Chen Xiaoqi: "But the villagers in the fourth village said that they need to sign a ten-year living contract before they can settle down in the village."

Bang, County Lieutenant Yang slammed the table angrily: "They are disaster victims to begin with, and they are lucky enough to survive. You don't care whether they are citizens or slaves!"

This?
Chen Xiaoqi was shocked. He didn't expect Lieutenant Yang to say such words.

"Take them back to the fourth village quickly, otherwise you won't be able to explain to the county magistrate." County Lieutenant Yang didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, so he asked his soldiers to drive Chen Xiaoqi out of the office yard.

Chen Xiaoqi was very frustrated and didn't know how to face the victims.

Secretary Guan saw him passing by and called him: "Chen Xiaoqi, why are you standing here in a daze?"

"Uncle Guan." Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Chen Xiaoqi told the matter.

Secretary Guan frowned when he heard this: "The Zhou family has indeed gone too far... But the world is in chaos now, and you are just a small flag. You have to protect yourself first, and then you can help them when you are able."

After Guan Shuli comforted Chen Xiaoqi, he said: "Let's go, I will accompany you to tell the victims that they can understand."

"Thank you, Uncle Guan." Chen Xiaoqi followed Secretary Guan out of the county office.

"Chen Xiaoqi, you finally came out. Can we go in and register and settle down?" The victims surrounded him and asked happily.

Chen Xiaoqi lowered his head and was silent for a while, unable to say anything.

The official Guan Shuli said for him: "For safety reasons, you have to go back to the village you were assigned before, and then the village chief will bring it to the county government to verify your identity before you can register and settle down."

This can be regarded as a kind of mutual protection, and it can also be regarded as a means of co-operation. Once the victims commit crimes, they will be held accountable by the village chief. In order to protect themselves, the village chief will keep a close eye on the victims and strictly prevent them from committing crimes.

"What do you mean, sir? Do you want us to go back to the fourth village? But the people in the fourth village want us to sign a living contract and become slaves!" Grandpa Qin, who had always been calm, was also a little excited.

They came through many difficulties and dangers all the way, and finally settled in, but they were stumped by the matter of settling in.

"Old man, please don't get excited..." Secretary Guan paused, his eyes fell on the armor plate held in Grandpa Qin's hand, and then he changed the topic and asked, "Old man, can you show me your household registration?"

Grandpa Qin was stunned and quickly handed him the household registration.

The official took away the household registration paper and the armor plate.

Guan Annong touched the soldier's armor with his fingertips for a while, and after confirming that it was genuine, he looked at Grandpa Qin with a weathered face, struggled for a moment, and said: "You guys wait, I will go find the county magistrate."

He originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when his family's former subordinates were having such a hard time, and he encountered them, he had to help, otherwise his conscience would be uneasy.
