Kiosk on the 174th county boundary

And Yang Pei's wife is surnamed Wei, and her father was also born in Hedong Wei, however, his father's status in the Wei family is not high, and he belongs to the concubine of the Shu branch, and he traveled to Zuo Fengyi when he was young and settled here. Later, his father became friends with Yang Pei's father, and the two families settled on a relationship.

Yang Wei knew that Cai Wenji used to be the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, but Cai Wenji did not know Yang Wei. Therefore, she and now Cai Wenji can only be regarded as relatives in the past.

It is no wonder that Yang Weishi was more excited than others when he heard that Cai Wenji had actually married the lord whose family was going to defect.

As soon as Cai Yong and Cai Wenji were mentioned, the group did not continue to talk.

……

Yang Pei still obeyed the words of the captain guarding the pass, bypassed Longxian County, and entered Luoyang County from the northerly Chengji County.

When they left Tongguan, they rarely saw corpses lying in the snow on the road from a distance, which showed that the Ma family had a good governance of Sanfu and Hanyang County.

But when they arrived in Chengji County, the group found a strange phenomenon.

When they first entered Chengji County, the heavy snow had stopped, but in the world covered with ice and snow all over the mountains, they actually saw many ragged adults with their wives and children struggling to march south.

"Dude, although the snow has stopped, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and the weather is so cold. Why don't you stay at home, your brother is fine, but your wife and children are frozen? Sima Qing walked up to a house and asked the man who was holding the child tightly in his arms.

"Alas! It's not that this ghost weather is making trouble, Hanyang County is wickedly cold this winter. In the autumn, there were several heavy rains in succession, and it snowed heavily in the winter, anyway, it is difficult to find dry firewood around Chengji County, no, in the autumn, I heard a relative who was in Luoyang County say that this year Luoyang County came to a very capable small county order, he not only provided a new house for free to hundreds of thousands of people, and my relative also said that it was very warm to live in this new house.

Alas! I can't stay at home anymore. Therefore, the villain can only take his family to Luoyang County to join relatives to see if the small county commander can take us in. This official, can you give this kid a sip of wine to drink? The child is really cold! After the big man finished speaking, he looked pitifully at the wine gourd on Sima Qing's waist and pleaded.

"Hehe, don't think about the wine, the hot water can give your family some to drink." Sima Qing smiled and waved his hand behind him, and his subordinates immediately took out six pottery bowls with hot water from their carriage and handed them to the family, as well as the other family who was also watching them.

"In that case, why don't you go in the fall, but only at this time?" Sima Qing waited for the man to finish drinking the hot water and asked suspiciously.

After the man drank the water, he didn't immediately return the pottery bowl to Sima Qing's subordinates, he didn't want to be greedy for this bowl, but the temperature on the bowl remained, he wanted to take the opportunity to warm his hand and said: "Alas, the villain didn't hear that the small county order snatched all the grain stored by all the people in Luoyang County, alas, if the villain didn't covet that little food, the old lady in the family would not have frozen to death." ”

As he spoke, the man actually cried.

When Yang Pei heard this, he secretly said in his heart, there is good governance and bad governance, it seems that the reputation of this little Taishou of Wudu County among the people is polarized. However, whether it is good governance or bad governance, the words of the foreigner are not accurate, and only when he personally goes to Luoyang County will he see the truth.

In such weather, at such temperatures, the elderly cannot move outdoors, and if there is not enough dry wood or cold protection at home, they can only wait for death. On the contrary, only the prime of life has the physical strength to withstand the cold. Unfortunately, there was no cotton in the Han Dynasty, and the people were all dressed in linen.

Therefore, the closer Yang Pei and his party got to Luoyang County, the more people they saw on the snow, and the direction they were all in the direction of Lucia.

Yang Pei and his party only had two carriages and two stoves, and they could only do their best to provide a cup of hot water for the people they met, nothing more. Moreover, the carriage that Sima Qing and the others rode in was imitated by Sima Yi to the craftsmen of Hedong County, modeled after the carriage that Jin Jue provided to Yang Pei, and the cold-proof, weight, and efficiency of the stove were naturally much worse than the original.

On the road, there were also several strongmen with many brothers in the family who were ready to rob Sima Qing and Yang Pei's carriage, but before Sima Qing could make a move, he was surrounded by the people who had been following them in these two carriages.

Later, Sima Qing stepped forward to reveal his identity, and the people on both sides immediately fell silent.

If there is anyone who is more afraid of Sanfu and the people of Liangzhou than Li Yu and Guo Yan, at present, there is only one person in the whole world, and he is Lu Bu. Don't look at it, Lu Bu was driven out of Sanfu by Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, but his reputation is spread all over the world, who can not be afraid?

When he entered the county boundary of Luoyang County, Sima Qing suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! Xiao Taishou actually sent someone here to lure the people. ”

Since there were many people around, Yang Pei's family had not opened the carriage of their family. At this time, as soon as he heard Sima Qing's words, Yang Pei immediately drilled out and looked forward, while Yang Qian'er poked her little head and hid behind her father, also watching curiously.

Sure enough, not far from the county border, a new, tall, sturdy pavilion that seemed to be made of bricks and tiles stood there.

The so-called 'pavilion' is the most grass-roots office below the county level in the Han Dynasty, and its chief official is the pavilion chief, which is equivalent to the director of the township police station in later generations. Han Gaozu Liu Bang started from a small pavilion chief.

A thick black smoke was rising from a chimney at the top of the pavilion, and no snow was visible on the tiles on the top of the pavilion and in the surrounding area, apparently melted by the temperature emitted by the pavilion.

The door of the pavilion was open, and inside a young man dressed as a twenty-year-old was directing a dozen of his men, going in and out, busily, handing a large white mist to every passer-by.

"Dad, is that giving soup to the people?" Yang Qian'er saw this scene and asked curiously.

"No!" Yang Pei shook his head and replied: "It must not be, since Luoyang County has been supplied with food from the people of Mingqiang, it will definitely not be porridge here." This is at the junction of the two counties, what if there is food stored in the pavilion and people rob it? ”
