Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

"Those villagers blocked the official road and said they were begging. They were a bit forceful. It may not have been their plan to push out an elderly man."

Ke Muqing said, "It is impossible to give. If there is any sign of compromise, all of us will have to walk out naked."

With so many villagers, one household was given away, so how could the remaining empty-handed people agree?
If you give them all, it won’t be enough to give them all their wealth.

And if they give it all, what will they do in the future?
"Sister is right to be worried. We can't open this door. If we let them get this benefit, everyone who passes by this village and this intersection in the future will have to leave naked."

Ke Xuelian nodded in agreement, "These villagers are indeed not good people. Sister, you were not here just now and you don't know what is going on here."

"What just happened?" Ke Muqing asked hurriedly.

"We were waiting here while the road ahead was blocked by villagers. A woman from the village came to us with her children. Seeing us eating steamed buns, a group of women gathered around us with their children. The woman said They held our adults' hands to beg for it, and those children took advantage of us adults being entangled and tried to grab the steamed buns from the children's hands." Zhang Lingyi responded.

"Is this happening?" Even Yin Tang didn't know about this.

"Who says it wasn't? Thanks to the large number of us, we drove them away. But after the women left with their children, it didn't take long for men to come close and poke their heads around, not knowing what they were looking at." Lin Shufu was a little worried, "Do you think those villagers are targeting us?"

"It's bad." Yin Tang said hurriedly, "Hurry up and call the children back to the car. I'll discuss it with the boss. It seems we can only force our way in."

If these villagers wanted to commit the evil acts of mountain bandits, they would have no choice but to risk their lives and just break in.

After Yin Tang warned him, he turned around and ran forward. Ke Muqing thought for a while and called Yang Yi and others, "You all bring your swords. If you really want to break through later, you must not be merciful."

Villagers who beg can be called refugees, but villagers who commit crimes are considered bandits.

Being soft-hearted to the bandits means you are risking your own life.

Before setting off from Wangshan Town, Ke Muqing had given swords to all ten Yang people. Except for Yang Sanqing's master and apprentice, they had also been given swords. The remaining adults, Ke Muqing, had all been given daggers.

For people who don't know how to use martial arts, a dagger can protect themselves better than a long sword.

Several children who were playing around immediately returned to the car obediently.

Yang Shuangshuang and his children huddled in the carriage and didn't even dare to lift the curtain. Although they didn't know what was going to happen, the adults' nervousness still affected them.

When Ke Muqing returned to the carriage, several children gathered around him, leaning their heads on Ke Muqing's knees in fear.

"Don't worry, Yang Yi and the others will protect us." Ke Muqing touched the heads of several children, "No matter what happens, grandma is still here, and grandma will protect you."

Ke Muqing was comforting several children when Yang Wenxiao ran over and said, "Mom, Mr. Zhuang wants to see you."

"Call him over and talk." Ke Muqing didn't expect Zhuang Tiannan to come over so quickly.

"Grandma is going to meet someone. Let's talk outside. She'll be back soon." Ke Muqing said to the children. She opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage when she saw Zhuang Tiannan and his servants driving over.

"Are you Mr. Zhuang?" Ke Muqing asked with a smile, "Have you met my old acquaintance?"

Zhuang Tiannan also got off the carriage, "Have you noticed it?" "You can tell from the style of the oxcart that his family's style of packing things." Ke Muqing answered, then made a guess, and asked, "Lang Jun His surname is Zhuang, he is so young, and he looks like a scholar, could he be Magistrate Zhuang from Yun County?"

"I heard in the morning that King Yan expelled Magistrate Zhuang from Yan County. Counting the time, if Magistrate Zhuang drives faster on the road, he can almost catch up with us by this time." Ke Muqing explained.

The prisoners were exiled on foot, so Ke Muqing's speed was relatively slow.

If Zhuang Tiannan had been traveling at a fast pace since leaving Yun County, he would indeed have caught up by now.

"I made my aunt laugh." Zhuang Tiannan didn't expect that he was so famous, "Thanks to my aunt's friend for this gift..."

Ke Muqing interrupted him, "He doesn't have the temperament to give something to you for no reason. He must be exchanging things with you."

"I understand his temper, but no one can take advantage of him. Whatever he gives you, it must be that in his opinion, what you exchanged with him is worth the things, so what did he give you? Just accept it with confidence."

Ke Muqing's words blocked all the gratitude Zhuang Tiannan had to say.

Zhuang Tiannan then also laughed, "My aunt has the same temperament as your good friend, she is very free and easy."

"I hit it off with him and we have the same temperament." Ke Muqing said, "But he is unpredictable and doesn't like people to know his whereabouts. He does things as he pleases. Don't tell anyone about his affairs."

Zhuang Tiannan responded, and Ke Muqing told him about the conflict between the villagers and the government officials, and everyone's guesses, asking Zhuang Tiannan to walk this journey with them.

"Then I'm going to bother everyone." Zhuang Tiannan accepted the kindness and thanked him, then asked Ke Muqing to find someone to help him carry the water tank to the carriage.

Zhuang Tiannan only had two people, Shutong, so he only planned to keep the carriage. An extra ox-cart was really redundant for his master and servant.

It's just that the water tank is too heavy, and he and the book boy alone can't lift it.

So I came here not only to ask this lady to help express my gratitude, but also to find someone to help carry the big water tank to the carriage.

After carrying the water tank, the ox cart became empty. Zhuang Tiannan asked Ke Muqing and others if they needed an extra ox cart. Seeing that Ke Muqing and others said no, Zhuang Tiannan drove the ox cart to the front and gave it to him. Wang Jianzhong.

After exchanging greetings with Zhuang Tiannan, Ke Muqing returned to the carriage, and Zheng Hui rode over as soon as he was seated.

"Auntie, the boss asked me to tell everyone, be prepared, we are about to break in!"

"The people we sent out stared at the villagers and found that some of them had moved all the farm tools out of the village. After listening to the discussion of the villagers who returned to the village to move things, their clan leader made up his mind and decided to snatch our things by force."

The government officials in the city don't care about the affairs here, which also gives these villagers some courage.

Ke Xiucai also trotted over and said, "Change all the children into the carriage. The carriage goes very fast. After rushing out, the villagers will not be able to catch up."

Zheng Hui nodded, "Our yamen servants will be faster on horseback. The boss has already made arrangements. A few people will take the lead and rush out of an empty space first. Our ox cart will be the first to rush out, and then you can follow our ox cart. Madam You guys discuss your order here, I’ll go back first.”
