Not long after setting out on the road that day, Ji Changying noticed that there were more pedestrians than usual on the official road.

Carts, oxcarts, and mule carts were all piled high, and people were dragging their families with them.

When I saw them, there was no expression of curiosity on their faces. Instead, they passed by in a hurry with expressions of caution.

Not only did she notice the situation, but others did too.

"What are they doing?"

"Who knows... maybe it's a relative."

"Does your family go to visit relatives to bring big and small bags of things?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said. Zhang Ziwei told Wang Lin: "Go and ask these people what they are doing."

"Yes!"

After answering, Wang Lin casually stopped a person on the roadside. Unexpectedly, before he could get closer, the man ran faster than a rabbit.

After stopping several people in a row to no avail, Zhang Zi personally stopped the family with his people in order to stop the team.

"What are you holding in your hand? What are you doing?" Zhang Ziwei led his people to surround the family. A group of government servants all put their hands on their shoulder knives, intending to take down the people if the situation went wrong.

"Official...Official...Official...Official, we are all ordinary people, absolutely good citizens!" The man in charge looked frightened and stammered when he spoke.

Zhang Ziwei frowned: "Bring out the household registration documents!"

"Okay...Okay." The man tremblingly reached out and touched his arms, then took out the crumpled household registration document.

Wang Lin reached out and took it, looked at it carefully and made sure there was no problem before handing it to Zhang Ziwei.

After confirming that these people were ordinary people, Zhang Ziwei relaxed his brows and then asked them what they did.

Only then did they explain the matter nervously.

It rained heavily for several days recently, and the river in Yong'an County——

The dam has burst.

The local county magistrate not only concealed the case, but also killed some people who went to the county government for help. He also had people block the city gate and only allowed entry but not exit.

It stayed like this for two days, and instead of getting better, things got even worse. The people from the county government planned to block the city gate and prevent entry and exit.

These people all had connections and knew the news in advance and escaped with their belongings!

The government officials who heard this all looked at Zhang Ziwei in shock.

He waved his hand to let people go, his face as dark as water.

"Boss, what should we do now? Are we going to Yong'an County yet?"

Wang Lin felt bad when he heard the situation over there.

At this time, they were sent to the door. Who knows if the county magistrate went crazy and even killed them, the official officials in Beijing.

Before Zhang Ziwei could make up his mind, Sun Fan came over impatiently: "Are you very free? What a waste of time to chat here if you're not in a hurry!"

Wang Lin explained what he had just asked about, and the expression on Sun Fan's face was not very good.

He said with a sullen face: "Let's go on our way first. I remember there is a post station twenty miles away from here. Let's get there first today!"

Zhang Ziwei thought, this is also a solution.

"Let's go on the road first and talk about it when we get to the inn."

A group of officials came back with sullen expressions, and the look on their faces did not bode well.

Ji Fengyi approached the clan leader thoughtfully: "The officer just stopped a few people to ask about the situation, and his expression turned bad. I'm afraid the situation is bad."

The patriarch's worried hair turned a few grayer: "I think they think of the scene of fleeing from famine more than ten years ago. That's really a sin!"

He shook his head and sighed.

Although the people in their village survived, many people died.

It was not until people who fled the famine settled in Lianhua Village that it slowly regained its popularity.

"These are such unscrupulous things! They took the money and left nothing for anyone, nor a way for them to survive!"

The clan elders burst into tears.

I heard that the people around me were not in a good mood.

Some people want to break the pot and fall down day by day.

Just after noon, they arrived at the inn.

"Let's rest here today! You can move around freely within a three-mile radius. Only one person in a family can go out at a time!" Zhang Ziwei ordered in a deep voice.

Sun Fan didn't say any nonsense this time.

The situation is not optimistic now. If these people are not allowed to find something to eat, will they all starve to death?

That's not okay.

Leaving ten guards behind, the others all went into the post station to rest.

The exiled people rested in the open space next to the inn.

There were only three people guarding the entire inn. After Zhang Ziwei took out the official documents, he was taken to arrange rooms for them.

Sun Fan went to his room and quietly touched the backyard while everyone was resting in the room.

Finding the man who was cleaning the yard, he took out a token.

"Where's the carrier pigeon?" Sun Fan stretched out his hand towards the man.

"Wait." Soon the man brought a carrier pigeon and handed it to him.

Sun Fan looked around and saw that no one was around, put the carrier pigeon in his arms and went back.

The two of them didn't say a word of nonsense the whole time.

As soon as Sun Fan reached the door, he saw Zhang Ziwei looking at him.

His heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhang Ziwei with evil eyes: "Why are you sneaking around at the door of my room?"

Zhang Ziwei twitched his lips: "I'm standing here upright, why am I so sneaky?"

Sun Fan felt guilty and spoke even more harshly: "If you're not tired, I'm still tired. Why don't you take a good rest?"

"Do you want to report this matter? Don't you know someone? Is it up to you?"

"Mind your own business. I'll pay you back if you want." Sun Fan waved his hand impatiently and ducked into the room. He was now secretly watching Zhang Ziwei's movements through the window.

Seeing him snort and leave, Sun Fan wiped away the non-existent sweat.

I picked up a pen and wrote a letter and tied it to the pigeon's foot. I felt relieved after watching it fly away.

Zhang Ziwei returned to his residence with a sullen face.

Just now Sun Fan looked at him with a guilty conscience, and there was something wrong with him at first glance.

He called Wang Lin: "Keep an eye on Sun Fan's movements these days."

Wang Lin looked excited: "Did this kid do something?"

"Not sure, just keep staring."

Wang Lin chuckled: "I'm afraid this kid won't make any move! Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on him, and I have to catch his tail this time."

After getting along with each other for this period of time, the relationship between the Ji family in Lianhua Village and several families headed by Ji Chenyan is quite good.

Just as he was about to rest, the old patriarch called Ji Hu and asked him to take the men in the family to hunt.

Ji Hu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, chief. During the few days we stayed in that village, I consulted the hunters there a lot and learned a lot. I will definitely not come back empty-handed again."

The patriarch was very satisfied: "You did a good job, then you should work harder."

Ji Hu took the people to work in the forest.

The clan leader arranged to wait for them to come back. Ji Changying took the women in the village to dig for vegetables, whatever they were, and brought back everything they could eat.

He also arranged for several aunts and sisters-in-law who were famous for their skill in the clan to lead people to sew and mend, and hurriedly made some straw sandals and thick clothes.

He even asked Ji Fengyi and Ji Xiuren not to be idle and continue to teach a group of children in the clan.

He himself stood in the crowd and spoke loudly: "I am old, so I will say something that people don't like to hear."

Seeing everyone looking up at him, he continued with satisfaction.
