Chapter 123: Honor in Troubled Times 91

When Xiao Ling and Xiao Ying landed at Gusukou, Xiao Bai chased after them.

At this time, Gusu has entered winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder day by day.

When the group went ashore, they quickly changed their jackets into cotton clothes, and when Xiao Bai chased after them, his frozen hands were about to crack.

When Xiao Ying saw Xiao Bai, she asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Bai followed Xiao Ying and Xiao Ling to the house they rented, and he took out the pendant he was carrying and handed it to Xiao Ying: "This is what my mother asked me to give you, and my mother also said ......"

Xiao Bai had a good memory, and he repeated all the words An Ning said.

Xiao Ling looked at the pendant and asked Xiao Bai, "How did this pendant come from?"

Xiao Bai is not a big person, but he pretended to be old and sighed, how Xiao Jin was placed in the outer room, how An Ning and Wyeth came to the door, how to see the abnormality of Bai Mei, and then took it home and asked about it: "This pendant was given by Bai Mei, and she said that she had a good brother who worked in the Zhang family." ”

Xiao Ying understood that An Ning was asking them to take the pendant to find that Lan Sheng, so that Lan Sheng could help them and make their actions go more smoothly.

"Okay, I see. ”

Xiao Ying put away the pendant and got together with Xiao Ling and Xiao Bai to discuss how to act.

The three of them discussed letting Xiao Ying go to find Zhou Lansheng, Xiao Bai took people to spread rumors on the Zhang family's Zhuangzi, and then encouraged the people who worked for the Zhang family to leave, and Xiao Ling led the fleet to gather at the port and wait, waiting for those Zhuang households to get on the ship and transport them away.

The three of them divided the work and immediately went into action.

The Zhang family didn't know anything there.

The Zhang family pays attention to their own family, their ancestral house and some shops or something, and they don't care too much about the Zhuang households in Zhuangzi.

In their opinion, those poor people have no other way to live except to work for their families, except for the time when they collect rent, the rest of the time they do not answer.

But in the place where they never noticed, Xiao Ying and Xiao Bai had already quietly acted.

Xiao Ying found Zhou Lansheng.

He showed the pendant to Zhou Lansheng and whispered, "It's Yinya who asked me to find you." ”

Zhou Lansheng became excited: "She, where is she? How is she now? Don't hurt her, I will cooperate with whatever you want." ”

Xiao Yingxin said that this Zhou Lansheng is really in love with Yinya.

He smiled: "Don't worry, she is at my house, my mother is quite good to her, she told my mother that she and you are happy, and my mother also wants to fulfill you, no, let me take the pendant to find you, Zhou Lansheng, do you want to see Yinya, do you want to be bullied by no one in the future? Do you want to live like a dignified person?"

A few questions in a row made Zhou Lansheng more and more excited.

"As long as she's okay, you can do whatever I want. ”

He smiled bitterly: "I don't live long, anyway, it's a bad life, I just want to ......"

"How can you live for so long?"

Xiao Ying frowned.

Zhou Lansheng said: "You don't know, the Zhang family has used poison for us in order to control us, if we want to live, we need an antidote......"

Xiao Ying didn't worry when she heard this: "You just say that you don't want to live in a dignified manner, you don't care about the poison, as long as you get to our Nanyi, someone will give you the antidote." ”

Zhou Lansheng was even less afraid: "You say how to do it." ”

Xiao Ying whispered to him how to ask him to help, Zhou Lansheng listened very carefully, and in the next few days, he contacted several people who were very good with him and worked in the Zhang family.

Zhou Lansheng and these people are all in charge of Zhuangzi, each of them is in charge of a Zhuangzi, they are very familiar with many things in the Zhang family, and with their help, Xiao Bai's actions have also gone a lot smoother.

He quickly planted people to the Zhang family's village to brainwash those villagers.

Many of the households in Zhangjia Zhuangzi are called hidden households in Gusu, that is, people who do not have household registration.

These people have no household registration in the government at all, they can't go anywhere, they can't do business, they can't do scientific research, they can only rely on the Zhang family's Zhuangzi to live, and their ancestors have lived here for generations, not only themselves, but also their children and grandchildren will be oppressed.

They do heavy work day after day, year after year, and spend most of the year in the fields, but most of the harvested grain has to be handed over to the Zhang family, and they can only keep a small part, and the food left behind is simply not enough to eat.

It can be said that these people are not well clothed and fed, and they have to be beaten and abused for many years, and there is almost no hope of living.

And the people who Xiao Bai planted told these people, talking about how good Nanyi's life was, and said that Nanyi was particularly powerful, there was no hidden household at all, and there were some hidden households who fled to the mountains and forests before, but since the third master took charge of Nanyi, he let these hidden households register with the government, have a household registration, and become an upright Nanyi person, and the treatment of ordinary people is the same, the same field, the same can walk in a righteous and bright way, no one dares to oppress.

They also said that the agricultural tax in Nanyi is much lower than that here, and the grain output is extremely high, saying that every household in Nanyi is full of grain, and the family is also fed chickens and ducks, and some people are fed sheep, and they can eat a meal of meat in ten days and a half months, anyway, life is better than here, I don't know how many times.

When the Zhang family's dealer heard this, he felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

They can't imagine that they can have such a good life, they can eat and dress warmly, and they are so free, this is not life in heaven.

A lot of people were moved.

Xiao Bai also assured those people that after arriving in Nanyi, they would be able to get the fields, as well as the grain and the silver of the family, and it would be better if they had special skills.

At this time, I happened to meet a steward of the Zhang family who came to Zhuangzi to inspect and took a fancy to the little daughter-in-law of the family, but the little daughter-in-law was unwilling, so he bullied others, snatched the little daughter-in-law, and beat the husbands and in-laws of other people to half their lives.

This incident made many dealers feel unbearable, not to mention those who have no household registration, even those who have a household registration sporadically want to follow to Nanyi.

After all, farming on the Zhang family's side, even these farmers with household registration are living a very poor life, and they also want to live a good life.

What's more, Nanyi is now equivalent to independence, and is not under the control of Daqi at all, and if they go to Nanyi, they can re-register their household registration, so whether they have a household registration in Gusu is the same for them.

So, after nearly a month of activities by Xiao Ying and Xiao Bai, most of the Zhuang households in the Zhang family packed up their things and decided to follow Xiao Ying to Nanyi.

Xiao Ying sent a letter to Xiao Ling, and soon the fleet gathered in the port.

That night, Xiao Ying and Xiao Bai led people to escort those villagers away.

They went away at night, and by the end of the night they had gone far away.

Xiao Ying asked Xiao Bai to take the people first, and he returned with his men and burned all the empty Zhuangzi where many people in the Zhang family had gone.

The head of the village and the villagers are all gone, and no one cares about the water on the Zhang family's Zhuangzi, and the stewards and masters of the Zhang family are drunk and dreaming of death at this time.

They walked for two days, day and night, and soon arrived at the port, and then everyone went to the village, and when the Zhang family reacted and looked for the head and the villager, Nanyi's fleet had already left the port and sailed on the vast sea.

Xiao Yuan got the letter, and when he went home, he smiled and said to An Ning: "It turns out that you actually gave the Zhang family a trick, you are really ruthless this time, and you directly hit the foundation of the Zhang family." ”

An Ning smiled: "It's still seven inches to fight the snake, I don't take action to deal with him, as soon as I shoot, I will fight directly to death." ”
