Then the men deliberated carefully and decided to start digging the tunnel and underground storage room the next night. Dig the Zheng family first, and then dig the Zhang family. The main thing is to hide food and supplies, and of course they will hide a little bit of silver, because they don't have that much silver to hide.

As soon as this project started, the two families were busy, and they couldn't ask anyone for help, so they had to do it themselves. Fortunately, the backyards of both houses are against the back mountain, and it is easy to dig, at least not to dig in the wrong direction, as long as you pay attention to safety precautions.

The entrance is located under the courtyard wall in the backyard, and you can see it by taking out a few bricks, and there are fruit trees in front of it, and they moved the firewood shed here, if you don't have a heart, you can't find it anyway, and the exit is in the jungle in the back mountain, and it's not easy to find.

Even the excavation belt was sorted out, and Chrysanthemum and Liu Yunlan came out, and everyone went into battle together, and they were busy for a month before digging the storage rooms and tunnels of the two families, which is still not a big storage room, and the tunnels are not long, otherwise one month will definitely not be enough. Chrysanthemum and Aoki originally thought that even if the new Li County Commander was a corrupt official, he would not go too far at the beginning, and even if he scraped the land, he would start scraping from the nearby Qinghui County, like the remote countryside of Xiatangji, it is estimated that the tax will be raised when the summer tax is collected.

Who knew that when planting seedlings, Li Changyu hurried back and brought a shocking news. The emperor of Yasukuni was critically ill, several princes were ready to move, and the officials each supported a prince for the future, waiting for an opportunity to seize the throne, and the government was in chaos.

Originally, such a high-level struggle had nothing to do with the common people - whoever became the emperor, they still farmed the same land. Even if the new emperor formulates different policies on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it must give them something to eat, and they can't force the people to die, so he, the emperor, will become a loner.

However, those Beijing officials and local officials jumped up and down, each with their own means, and struggled for a meritorious service, including many dirty transactions, and this Li County Decree was ordered by the capital to collect a group of beauties in the south and give them to the four princes.

"This doesn't have to be a court draft - the draft has a certain charter, and they are purely robbing the people's daughters. I'm afraid that the means of fixing marriage are not enough to stop them, and they have to marry someone to make them rest their minds - after all, if you are married, you are not a virgin. ”

Li Changyu said worriedly, even his brother's mentor Ding Xuezheng couldn't stop this, what could he do? The only thing I could do was to send a message to the village.

At this time, he sat in the courtyard of the Zheng family, and told Aoki and Zhang Huai about what happened in the court and the character and official reputation of the Li County Order. As soon as the two of them climbed up from the seedling field, the mud on their legs was pulled back by Li Changyu before they could be washed off.

Aoki's face changed dramatically when he heard his words - he was still happy that the scar on Chrysanthemum's face had faded some time ago, but now this good thing has become a bad thing, and if he wants not to be chosen, he must marry Huaizi immediately.

Zhang Huai didn't feel much - chrysanthemums would definitely not be taken - and asked Li Changyu: "Then you came back for Jin Xiang?" There are also many girls in the village, and they should also be reminded of their family. ”

Li Changyu sighed and said, "This matter can't be said on the surface, you help secretly dial them down." If that dog official knows that I have come to ventilate the news, I am afraid that it will affect the family. Zhang Huai asked worriedly: "Then if many girls in our village are married these days, will the dog official be suspicious?" Didn't he think of you when he doubted it? ”

Li Changyu said angrily: "As long as there is no obvious handle, he will not do anything to me - anyway, my brother is also a person, my brother's mentor is also a third-grade official, and there are people in the capital, besides, they can only win over everyone at this time, but I still don't want to talk about it in the village with great fanfare." Aoki asked in a deep voice, "It's said that it's a beauty pageant, what kind of beauty is it?"

Also, at that age, the girl can naturally find someone to marry, some girls are still young and definitely can't get married, so will they also be taken away, and they will grow up after two years? Zhang Huai also listened attentively, there are not too many marriageable girls in the village, but there are too many girls who are ** years old and teenage years old.

Li Changyu looked at Aoki and wanted to make a joke with him, but this topic was really not suitable as a joke, so he swallowed the words back again, and said to him with a somewhat complicated expression: "Anyway, it's right for you to hide your daughter-in-law tightly, who knows if they will lose their conscience and forcibly take their wives when they see their sister-in-law's appearance?" Little girl?

Ay!

If you look good, you can't escape. In fact, the one who can be sent must be a very good woman, and we don't have to worry too much about this standard, but those people will definitely take this opportunity to search for girls, and the result is hard to say! ”

He smiled bitterly helplessly. Aoki changed color again, and stood up with 'Huo' - sister and daughter-in-law, now these two people have become his fatal wounds, Zhang Huai was also shocked, and asked: "These people... Do these people still have a royal law? Li Changyu smiled bitterly: "Wang Fa? Now I don't wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, I want to be stable.

After thinking about it, he said: "This kind of thing does not necessarily happen in troubled times, there are often officials who collect young girls in the people under various names, train them, and give them to those high-ranking officials as playthings." The better ones can be mixed with maids and concubines, and the worse ones are just sent around, and in the end, there are no bones." Aoki and Zhang Huai, who said this, were silent, only clenching their fists tightly. After Li Changyu said this, he hurriedly said goodbye, saying that he was going back to prepare for Jin Xiang's marriage.

After Li Changyu left, Zhang Huai just wanted to speak to Aoki, but he heard Aoki throw out a sentence: "You go back and prepare, hurry up and marry Chrysanthemum." Zhang Huai was stunned for a moment - will chrysanthemums be noticed by them? She said she didn't want to get married right now. Seeing his stunned look, Aoki said unhappily: "Those people are not things at all, do you know what tricks they will play?" What if they like to see chrysanthemums with face towels? It's better to be safe than to be blind. ”

Zhang Huai's face immediately changed when he heard this, and his heart rose to his throat, and he choked for a long time before he said angrily: "Is this still alive?" Of course he doesn't want to get married, but if he does, won't he have a baby? Look, less than two months after Aoki got married, Liu Yunlan was pregnant, but how can Chrysanthemum give birth to a baby now?

No matter how worried he was, it was certain that he would get married immediately, because not only did Aoki tell him so, but even after hearing the news, Chrysanthemum immediately told him that he wanted to get married immediately, and the Yang family and Zheng Changhe didn't want to delay for a moment, and nervously discussed with Zhang Dazhuan and the He family, eager to let Chrysanthemum marry Huaizi tonight.

Zhang Dazhuan and Zheng Changhe were also called back from the field - they were planting seedlings, and they were helping Zhang's family plant them today. As a result, first Huaizi and Aoki were called away by Li Changyu, and then Yang came to call them both home. They still wondered, it's still early for lunch, why did they come to shout?

A few people sat in Zhangjiatang's house and talked about it, Zhang Dazhuan and his family were because Chrysanthemum was an ugly girl, so they were not as anxious as Zheng Changhe and his wife, and they were still thinking about Chrysanthemum, saying something like Chrysanthemum's weak body and not growing well. Yang sat on the small bench, stood up in a hurry, rushed to He Shi and pulled her arm and cried: "Huaizi Niang, my chrysanthemum face has grown well!" Now there is no leprosy. What if they snatch this away? ”

As he spoke, he poured out the skin on Chrysanthemum's face. Zhang Dazhuan and his family were dumbfounded! He didn't care to ask why Chrysanthemum still had leprosy skin on her face that year, or she thought it fell after that, or she didn't think about anything, just looked at what was in front of her, she asked in a trembling voice: "Chrysanthemum's face has grown?" Don't you even have a scar? ”

It's obviously a happy thing, but she is a little scared - she knows what the chrysanthemum looks like, if there is nothing on her face, it will not be worse than her sister-in-law, isn't it a disaster to put it on the hurdle in front of her? Yang kept wiping his tears and said: "After the clip on the face fell off, there was also a scar from the boss, so I always made a mask." After a few years, the scar faded.

I was still happy before, saying that I was about to disappear..." He didn't ask what the mask was at all, grabbed Yang's hand and only asked, "What can I do?" How can this be done? Zhang Dazhuan heard that Chrysanthemum's face was better, he was stunned for a while, got together with Zheng Changhe, and discussed in a low voice, Zheng Changhe just said a few words, and heard He Shi muttering and asking what to do, and couldn't help but raise his head and said anxiously: "What else can I do?" Isn't it just to get them married! He said worriedly: "You don't know, those people don't care about this, if they are really good-looking, they don't care whether they are married or not." When I was a child, there was a girl in the village who was taken away, saying that she was going to enjoy happiness, but who knows where she took it? After all these years, I haven't seen anyone alive or dead, and I haven't seen a corpse..."

Yang listened to her words, became even more desperate, suddenly remembered something, calmed down again, and said to He: "No matter, let them marry first." My chrysanthemum is still a leper girl, and people outside don't know that she has grown up, and the leper girl is a leper girl, how can you say that it is good..." She let out a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Chrysanthemum had been wearing a face scarf, so she whispered something to the other three, and then, the two families didn't care about the work in the field, and became busy like a whirlwind. Just after planting the seedlings, a message quietly spread in Qingnan Village, and suddenly, all the families with daughters panicked, and those who were married quickly got married, and those who didn't get married hurriedly found someone to marry.

They don't know what a beauty is, in short, marry the girl first, even if the girl is not good-looking, you have to marry - if those black-hearted guys rob her to be a maid? Liu Sanshun only got married to Xiao Xiu at the end of last year, and now he hurriedly married back, Laixi also took Liu Xiaomei into the door, Jin Xiang married to the Xiatangji family that night, Li Changxing is still grinding with Uncle Lao Cheng, and wants to marry his family's bamboo, and there is no need to grind at this time, Lao Cheng ordered him to take the bamboo into the door within two days, Lao Cheng's other little daughter, Lin Zi, was also told by him and Li Gengtian in a few words, married Li Changyun, Zhou Xiaozi married Xiaoxiu to Liu Sanshun, but there is also a little girl Xiaocui, who is also inferior to her young, I want to marry Liu Sishun. Liu Sishun was still studying and didn't want to marry, so his eyes were on fire for a while.

Zhang Dazhuan and his family were busy with Huaizi and Chrysanthemum's family affairs, but they ushered in Li Changxing's second uncle and second aunt, who came for Xiaoyan. Zhang Dazhuan and He couldn't help but be stunned when they heard that he wanted to marry Xiao Yan, but it was their youngest son Zhang Yang who was begging.
