Chapter 93: Trapped back to the official road to Beijing
Probably because the atmosphere was too wrong, several people in the carriage looked at each other a little. Shen Junluo couldn't help but want to lift the curtain and look out for a while, but before her hand stretched out to the curtain, everyone's eyes looked over, Shen Junluo felt that her hand was about to be stared at by this β‘β‘ naked gaze, and she suddenly hesitated a little where her hand was stretched out, and it was not moving. Fortunately, Shen Junqian, who was next to her, pulled her sleeve for a moment, and she withdrew her hand.
The people in the carriage felt as if they had been coming for a long time, but in fact, it was only a moment before they heard the footsteps of someone running by the side of the carriage.
It's just that in such an environment, someone ran over, and several people in the carriage were also a little surprised, but fortunately, the people outside approached the carriage, and the voice came in first, "Sixth girl, it's me, how are you, someone was injured just now?"
Shen Junqian listened carefully, turned around and said to the sisters in the carriage: "It's Mama Wu by my mother's side." β
Mama Wu is the proud person of the Xiao family, several sisters of the Shen family have seen it, and her voice has naturally been heard, listening to Shen Junqian's words, Shen Junying nodded first, "It is indeed Mama Wu." After speaking, he didn't wait for others to stop him, and carefully lifted the corner of the curtain.
"Everyone was just startled and nothing happened, what happened to Mama Wu just now?
Mama Wu has now stood next to the carriage, listened to Shen Junying's words, and replied very respectfully: "There is a stream of displaced people on the road for some reason, and now the road back to Beijing is blocked in front, and the carriage of the ladies in front of them has had some conflicts with them and is now negotiating, and Madame is not worried about letting me bring more people to protect the carriage that the girls are sitting in." I don't know where these homeless people came from, but I'm afraid that the family members who went out today are a little not enough to see, and the girls still don't get off the carriage for the time being. β
In the border of this suburb of Beijing, there are homeless people so close to the imperial city, Shen Junqian thought of this when he arrived, but the others were the same as the other girls of the Shen family, and they didn't know that their eyes were dark.
Probably knowing that the person who came over was a slave at home, the expressions of the little girls in the carriage were also relaxed.
"Mama, I don't know what arrangements the second aunt has for our sisters now? Do we just need to sit in the carriage and wait? According to today's steps, I wonder if we can rush back to Laizhou before dark?"
"For the time being, we only need a few girls to stay in the carriage, and now Madame and the others are interviewing and communicating with the group of homeless people in the hope that they will make way, if it goes well, we should be able to continue the journey back soon. β
Listening to Mama Wu, everyone only needs to stay in the carriage at present, and there are also families guarding the carriage, it seems that there is nothing wrong except for the sudden stop at the beginning that makes everyone a little wolf.
The sisters in the carriage secretly exchanged a look, as if they had reached a consensus, and Shen Junqian, as a representative, continued to ask Mama Wu about the situation.
"Mama, are my mother and third aunt okay in front of them?"
Hearing that it was Shen Junqian's voice, Mama Wu replied with a somewhat familiar smile, "Several girls are relieved, although the carriage of the lady and the third lady and the eldest aunt and grandmother is in front, there is nothing to do, the girls just rest in the carriage for a while, and they will take care of these things." β
Shen Junqian still wanted to ask again, listening to Mama Wu's tone, she always felt that she still had something unfinished, but unfortunately, Shen Junqian looked at the cousins in the carriage, and when it came to her mouth, she still didn't ask after all.
Mama Wu answered the questions of the girls a little, and then ordered the people outside the carriage to surround the carriage and protect them.
Looking forward from the carriage of the Shen Junqian sisters towards the official road, they could only see from a distance that the carriages of the Xiao family and others were indeed parked not far away, and there were many shadows around, and there were many people surrounding those cars, which were a little far away, and the specific situation was so clear that it was not very clear.
Mama Wu arranged the people she brought, and she stood outside the carriage and was always vigilant. Although she tried her best to tell a few girls that it was not a big deal. But I'm afraid that I don't believe those words very much, and she doesn't know what the situation is on Xiao's side now, but when she first came over, she didn't see a good situation, and the people on both sides were a little tense. Xiao secretly asked himself to bring some people to guard a few girls, no need for Xiao Shi to say it, Mama Wu also knew Xiao Shi's unfinished intentions, but I was afraid that if the situation was not right, she would immediately rush out with a few girls.
*******
Unlike the calm on Shen Junqian's side, the situation on Xiao's side is indeed not very optimistic.
Xiao Shi and De'an never imagined that someone would be so bold now, and they could meet such a bold and reckless person on the necessary passage to Beijing in the suburbs, and intercept them directly on the road.
If they were just asking for some money, according to Xiao's ideas, what could be solved with money would not be a big deal for a family like them. It's just that judging from the situation of several negotiations, I'm afraid it's not that simple, but behind it is her daughter and the girls and cousins of the Shen family, and nothing can happen anyway.
But what Xiao didn't know was that these people who were confronting them now were also terrified, and they didn't want to make a big deal.
Wang Tietou is now frowning and looking at the situation in front of him, and now this group of people recognized his words, he was completely chasing ducks to the shelves and was inexplicably put in this position. He never thought that the always prosperous Jiangnan would be hit by a flood like this, and he had already saved a dozen taels of silver before the flood, but after this year he would be able to build a brick house and marry a daughter-in-law, but all these were destroyed by a flood.
"Head, what are we going to do now, it seems that these people are not simple, if we really do it, will something happen?" asked a short man with a bald head.
Wang Tietou is tall and strong, and he is full of strength, and now these people are people who have suffered the same disaster as him, and everyone is slowly getting together, the reason why everyone recognizes him as the head is just because he has good strength. This group of them went all the way to Shangjing, and the things they brought with them had already been eaten, and they basically relied on a few young and strong people in the team to survive all the way, and they barely survived until today by hunting and fishing.
They thought that when they arrived in Shangjing, they would always be able to eat no matter what, but they didn't expect that they couldn't enter the β‘β‘ door, and they were hiding in the mountains and forests nearby, but fortunately, now that the weather is getting warmer, they can find a cave where they can live, and the situation is not too bad.
Wang Tietou grabbed the bald man's clothes and shouted: "I fucking know what to do, I tell you that you can't stop it directly, now it's okay, looking at the posture really stopped someone, we are afraid that there will not be enough people to cut it!"
After yelling, Wang Tietou threw him aside and didn't care anymore, the bald head didn't care much, got up and patted the ash on his buttocks, and came over again, "We know it's wrong, but now that you see that it's stopped, you can't let the big guy just withdraw, and it's not a way to stay in the mountains like this." β
Wang Tietou roared in an angry muffled voice, "What's the hurry, don't you see that I'm trying to figure out a way, his grandmother's, now that you're being messed with like this, I don't know how to end up." β
In fact, it's no wonder that they, they have been hiding in the mountains for nearly half a month, according to their original thoughts, now they can all go to Beijing The best thing is to sue the emperor, but if they can't always find one or two Qing officials to shout a grievance, or rent a field near the capital to plant, no matter how bad it is, they can always sell themselves as slaves to feed themselves. As a result, they hid for so long, but they couldn't even enter the city gate.
They couldn't just hide in the mountains all the time, so they thought of a way together, originally thinking of finding a few people to be representatives to sneak into the city first, and then find a way to bring the others in. As a result, there was a disagreement about who would enter the city, and a group of people couldn't talk about it, so they had to use their brains to get everyone into the city together.
They are all a group of farmers who can't read a single word, and if they can come up with any good way, it is best to discuss it for a long time before they come up with a way that is not a way, that is, intercept a small group of people on the official road closest to them and bring them in.
I have to say that the idea is naΓ―ve.
However, what is even more unexpected is that Wang Tietou did not agree with this approach, and repeatedly warned that he must be cautious when stopping people, and do not stop everyone. As a result, no one took his words to heart at all, and when Xiao and the others rushed home, they stopped them.
When Wang Tietou knew what was really going on, it was too late, not only did he stop him, but also the group of people rose up to fight.
But Wang Tietou has some knowledge, looking at the delicate process of the carriage now, and then looking at the feeling of those slaves, he knows that he is afraid that they will be β‘β‘ troubled.
These nobles in the capital are not arrogant, and now they are holding them back, even if they retreat now, I am afraid they will not be let go.
Anxious and sweating profusely, seeing that the situation on both sides is getting more and more tense, if there are some moths at that time, I am afraid that now they are all in a catastrophe.
The place where the two sides faced each other was already faintly restless, and Wang Tietou walked around anxiously.
The bald head still wanted to come up, but was immediately kicked away by Wang Tietou, "Go aside." β
After leaving, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "There's a way!"
This De'an is also regretting that he brought too few guards when he went out today.
De'an is a person with the name of the county lord, so she has always been accompanied by guards, but she has never liked guards to follow her since she was a child, and she didn't bring anyone with her when she went out this time, who knows, she will encounter such a thing. Now, she has the same mentality as Xiao's, and her daughter can't have an accident. A noble family
