On the Cangzhou Road, there were seven or eight people escorting a carriage against the cold wind of late winter and advancing in the snow, and the target was Chaijiazhuang.

This pedestrian is dusty, all of them are embarrassed and haggard.

The mule pulling the cart was also skinny and skinny, and only under the ruthless drive of the old man who set up the cart had to move his weak limbs to pull the cart forward, and it seemed that the slow pace, godless eyes, and dying breath seemed to lie down and die at any time.

Seeing that everyone couldn't walk anymore, the man at the head beat the tired spirit and said, "It's almost here, everyone will work harder at the end." ”

Although he tried his best to raise his voice and boost morale, it still sounded weak. When everyone listened, their spirits did not improve much. One of the older ones asked: "Owner, we are just rough martial arts, we don't have much ability, we are nameless, in fact, we are croppers, and there are many people like this, and it costs a lot to eat." The Chai officials are recruiting heroes and heroes in the world, can they take us in? ”

The owner of the village was none other than Zhao Yuanwai of Qibao Village near Wenshu Monastery on Wutai Mountain.

At the beginning, Luda served as the governor of Jingluo Prefecture in Weizhou, and killed Zheng Tu in Guanxi, the town of Guanxi, who sold meat under the Zhuangyuan Bridge, with three punches, saved Jin Er and Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, provoked a life lawsuit and fled from the Weizhou Army.

Jin Er and Jin Cuilian's father and daughter were lucky to get out of the predicament of evil hands and escape from Weizhou, but they were lucky again.

Jin Cuilian married Renyi Zhao Yuanwai as his wife. The father and daughter no longer have to live the difficult days of being homeless and displaced.

In recent years, Jin Cuilian and her husband have been harmonious and happy. gave birth to a pair of children, and had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, the good days suddenly came to an end.

Cai Jing'er's strategy of encompassing fields and immigrating to fill the coastal vacant land created opportunities for corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various places to scrape the land and make a windfall. Qibao Village also suffered last year. In a few days, Zhao Yuanwai changed from a leisurely landlord to a homeless wanderer.

Fortunately, he is alert, flexible, and popular, and he resolutely abandoned his home and fled when he heard the news as soon as possible. only to avoid being tormented by the government, and the end of a family being ruined.

He was a landlord, his family had some money, he was benevolent, and he also had loyal stewards and dozens of villagers to follow and protect.

It's just that I fled my home in a hurry, and I can't stay in my hometown, but where can I go to settle down again?

For the northerners of the Great Song Dynasty, once they are in trouble and want to continue to survive as a shunmin choice, the first thing they can think of must be Cangzhou.

You're a good guy who has committed a lawsuit. If you don't want to fall into the grass and become a robber, you can go to Chaijiazhuang to get away with it.

You are an ordinary person, and you can also find a way to survive in Cangzhou, where the powerful Cangzhao family sits in to ensure a safe and prosperous place.

Zhao Yuanwai's final choice is also Cangzhou.

It's just that now the world is not quiet, thieves, robbers, black shops, thieves emerge in endlessly, extortion and extortion filthy officials are strong and scoundrels everywhere, from Wutai Mountain to Cangzhou The road is far away and sinister, they do not know the danger and are optimistic, but they fight hard all the way through the same wits and strength, and most of the money and accompanying dealers are lost. The rest of the people exhausted everything before they were lucky enough to finally enter the Cangzhou realm.

At present, I am penniless, the weather is cold, there is no food and lodging, and the adults are faint with hunger. Zhao Yuanwai's two children were starving to death, and they really couldn't afford to suffer anymore, so they just wanted to get help from Chai Daguan. Only by slowly passing the most desperate threshold can we have the heart to try to survive again.

Zhao Yuanwai was questioned by the housekeeper. Seeing everyone's anxious eyes looking at him, he had no bottom in his heart. But in order to encourage the will to survive, he can only beat his spirit and say optimistically: "I think that Chai Daguan is known as the contemporary Meng Weijun, and the name of heroic benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world, I will not bear to see so many of us begging to come to the door, no matter how we will die outside Chaijiazhuang and watch coldly." ”

Although this comfort is illusory, it also boosts everyone's strength.

Hope is not far ahead.

Everyone cheered up, but whoever had a little strength went to push the wagon and helped the mule to go more easily and faster.

What made them extremely relieved was that as soon as they went to the gate of Chaijiazhuang City and told the guard Zhuang Ding what they wanted, they immediately got help.

Eating the free hot tea and meals warmly entertained by the shopkeeper in the restaurant not far from the Zhuangmen, at this moment, Zhao Yuanwai and his wife, who had been sharpened to a strong and iron-blooded life, cried. The subordinates were all crying silently. The two young children, who were eating sweetly, also cried.

In times of crisis, we can see the warmth and coldness of people.

The main business of this shop is to receive the refugees who come to seek refuge and are starving to death. Seeing more of this situation, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "When you arrive at our Chaijiazhuang, you don't have to worry about your life." Just don't get too excited and sad, lest the injury hurt your body. ”

The tortured dying Jin Laohan was lucky enough to survive the difficulties and survive until now, at this time, the hot food belly has some physical strength and spirit, and when he heard the shopkeeper say this, he knelt down with a plop, slapped the ground and cried even more, and chanted: "Good man." Chai Daguan is a good person of the Bodhisattva, and you are all good people of the Buddha like Lu Tisha. My two grandsons can finally live, and I want to repay them as cattle and horses......"

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help Jin Laohan and comforted: "They are all ordinary people, and it is not easy to live. If you can, you can help. There is no need to mention the Bodhisattva Buddha's. The conscience of man is only. ”

"Well said."

Zhao Yuanwai praised with tears, remembered what happened to his family, and hated and scolded: "It's only hateful that the Great Song Dynasty is now difficult to see an official with a conscience." ”

The shopkeeper's secret identity is an intelligence officer, and the members of this shop are responsible for preliminary reconnaissance and judgment of the details of those who come to take refuge.

He listened attentively to the information revealed in the various emotional words of the group, and had determined the general situation based on experience.

This group of people was originally ordinary landlords and good citizens, but they were persecuted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they were cornered, so they could be collected.

Now, the old housekeeper of Chai Mansion is older, his hair is white, his energy is not good, and he usually only takes care of his master Chai Jin, and takes care of the general affairs of the village on behalf of Chai Jin, and he doesn't care much about specific things. The supervisors in charge of the busy work are Ding Fu and his wife.

This Ding Fu was originally a native of Beijing's famous mansion, a poor grass people, who used to make a living as a hawker, and was blessed to marry a beautiful and virtuous wife.

He is even more blessed that he has a younger brother named Ding Xiang also known as Ding Jiulang, who was also a hawker at the beginning, but he was not a business material, what to do and what to lose, but he is familiar with the prodigal son Yan Qing, and usually has Yan Qing's care and trust.

Ding Jiulang is not familiar with business but is suitable for being a spy, and now he has already become a capable intelligence agent under Yan Qing, being a spy is like a fish in water, doing things as a civilian in Beijing, no one would have thought that this honest ordinary person would be a shrewd spy, and his small life is full of taste.

It is with this relationship that Ding Fu and his wife, who are down-to-earth but not lacking in intelligence and ability, went to Zhaozhuang for training, and changed from a struggling hawker to the second housekeeper of Chai Mansion.

Ding Fu listened to the report of the shopkeeper, noticed the three words Lu Ti Zhi mentioned by Jin Laohan, and combined with the origin and surname of this group of people, he couldn't help but guess that they were related to General Luda?

After finding out again, it was indeed Luda's family who helped him and lost his official position to become a monk.

Zhao Yuanwai is a benevolent and reliable person. Then this family is your own person.

Yes, how to arrange this family has an eyebrow.

Zhao Yuanwai is a martial artist, and he has also sharpened his iron blood, and he is just arranged to be General Lu's logistics officer. When old acquaintances of kindness and righteousness get together, they will be able to complement each other, and they will all be happy. The accompanying men were able to arrive here alive, and they were all armed and happened to enlist in the army.

Zhao Yuanwai and Jin Laohan's family have changed from refugees who are about to starve to death to become VIPs of Chai Province, and when they recover their health, they will arrange to go to Jeju Island.

The scene of the hotel fell in the eyes of Song Jiang, who happened to be drinking and recreational here.

Seeing the sorrows and joys of this family, Song Jiang was greatly touched, and only thought: the traitors of the court are in charge, and local corrupt officials are rampant. I, Song Jiangkong, have a lot of talent and ambition to serve the country, but I don't have the opportunity. Looking at what happened to this family, it seems that it is impossible to take the right path and show the ambition of a husband. Murder and arson are the only way to be recruited.
