Since that heavy snowfall, there have been a few light snowfalls here and there in Linhuai. On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xie Fuzi was called out in the morning, and when he came back, his face was gloomy, and the bluffing Xie Xiang didn't dare to ask if it was about the Lantern Festival.

It was only after eating at noon that when the Xie family was in the main hall, Mr. Xie opened his mouth to tell the cause and effect. Sure enough, this year's Lantern Festival is gone.

"The Lantern Festival was suspended, but the reason for this is how not to be angry. Last year's snowstorm caused a large number of displaced people. Countless people gathered around the county seat, and this time the officials not only did not think of appeasement, but expelled the prison army when they passed by. For his own selfish desires, put the people on the ground! ”

Xie Fuzi looked excited, and he was very disdainful of the behavior of Linhuai officials in his words.

Everyone was a little silent after hearing this, and then Qin Bo asked with some doubts: "Does holding the Lantern Festival have anything to do with the expulsion of displaced people?" ”

Xie Fuzi smiled bitterly and said: "It is reported that the prison army will go to Linhuai tomorrow, and the officers and soldiers are already being expelled today. A relevant card has been set up at the entrance of the county, and the entry and exit of displaced people have been prohibited. If the Lantern Festival is held today, the number of people coming and going is huge, and it is not easy to check. And to hold a lantern festival, it is inevitable to allocate some manpower to take care of it, and now that most of the officers and soldiers are expelling the homeless, there are still manpower available! ”

When Uncle Qin heard this, he also fell silent. After a while, he muttered, "Just shoot ...... Arouse the anger of the people......"

When Xie Fuzi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly again, the expulsion of the displaced people has been going on for a long time, and it was good before Linhuai County. In some places, no matter what the season, as long as they are homeless, all the people will be expelled, and the local officials are afraid that they will tarnish their political achievements and delay their promotion.

Thinking of this, he remembered that when he was discussing matters in the clan, the official from the county government replied. The petty official, who didn't even have a grade, sat beside the patriarch with his head held high and pointed at his feet.

At that time, someone also raised the fear of causing dissatisfaction, and the person said nonchalantly: "What, it's just a few ordinary people, as for being so nervous?" This is something that the county lord personally takes care of to do well, and you are thinking about it yourself. If the errand is not done, the time will ...... Hum. ”

The more Xie Fuzi thought about it, the more he could only shake his head and sigh, the lackey eagle dog, but that's it. But what can he do? Half a life of running, luck is like flowing water, and now, it is not easy to be able to eat all day long and protect the safety of the family. The world is bleak, and the fate is unfair.

Xie Xiashi saw that Xie Fuzi's face was sometimes indignant, sometimes sentimental. roughly guessed that the suspension of the Lantern Festival and the expulsion of the displaced people would definitely make Xie Fuzi's heart of worrying about the country and the people uncomfortable.

Her own officials have an upright temperament, and they take the people's plans very seriously, so she is not easy to be relieved. I could only silently clean up the dinner table, and prepare to make a cup of tea for him later, so as not to cause him to get angry and hurt himself. For her, although she also sympathizes with the displaced people, in the final analysis, it is her own family that is more important.

Xia Xueyi saw that the adults were all serious, and he didn't seem to understand the expulsion of the displaced people, and he didn't understand it very well. However, this did not prevent him from knowing that he could not step forward and cause trouble at this time.

He sat at the table where he had just finished eating, looked at Xie Xiashi who was cleaning up his things, and then looked at Xie Xiang who was in a daze, thought about it, and waited until Xie Xiashi walked to his side and whispered, "Auntie, is it okay for me to go out with my brother?" ”

Xie Xia frowned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway. Although it's a bit chaotic outside, I've heard that the government has also dispatched people to the surrounding villages.
