Seeing that it was approaching Kyoto, that is, the scene would arrive in three or five days, Madame Chiang ordered to go down and let the team speed up the journey again.

"What's going on?" But even with the order, the convoy stopped, and Madame Chiang sat in the carriage and asked outside.

Shi Jin, together with Fang's mother, also sat in the carriage with two little girls, and when she felt the carriage stop, she looked out with Fang's mother.

The Jiang family's team was arranged, and Fang's mother's carriage was in front, so Shi Jin and Fang's mother both saw the situation in front.

In addition to the Jiang family's convoy, there were other teams blocking in front, but obviously, that team also stopped because of obstacles.

The subordinate in charge of running errands went to the front to inquire about the news, Shi Jin retracted his gaze and looked at Fang's mother, "Auntie, I'll go and see it too." ”

"Then be careful." The errand runner was to inquire about Mrs. Jiang's news, and if Fang's mother and the others wanted to know, they had to inquire by themselves.

Shi Jin is willing to take a look, that's the best, Mother Fang won't stop it.

Getting off the carriage, Shi Jin walked towards the front, she was willing to inquire, and she was also thoughtful.

Even if you can get the news from others, many times, the news comes and goes, and it is easy to change the taste, so it is most reliable to inquire yourself.

The convoy was very long, Shi Jin walked for a while, but she didn't see the end, she estimated that she continued to walk, I am afraid that she may not be able to see it.

So she paused in the shade of the tree to look around her, and when she saw a woman with a kind face, she went toward her.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what's going on here?" While asking, Shi Jin didn't forget to take out the snacks he carried with him and send them to the woman, "I made my own snacks, I hope you don't dislike them." ”

Looking at the snacks handed over, the woman looked at Shi Jin, saw that she was dressed quite well, and turned her head to look behind.

"I'm the cook of the convoy behind, no, the convoy stopped and didn't leave, I listened to the steward's orders, and came down to inquire." Shi Jin stretched out his hand and pointed back, and said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome." Looking at the woman's dress, it was probably an ordinary person's, she should have suffered a lot, she accepted the things handed over by Shi Jin, tasted it herself, and then received it in her arms.

"You're going to Kyoto, aren't you? Then you'll have to wait. "The woman knows something.

"Right now, there are disasters everywhere, and many people are going to Kyoto, but what is Kyoto? That's at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where can this person be squeezed? ”

"I've heard that there is a barricade in front of you, and you have to pay to get through. Or it's the official family, no, it's all waiting. The woman told Shi Jin everything she knew.

"That'...... What if you don't have money or ordinary people? Shi Jin frowned.

There are many people in the Jiang family's convoy, and they don't know how much they have to pay, if there is a fixed number, it's okay, I'm afraid there isn't.

Shi Jin recalled the content of the book, and she didn't remember such a paragraph.

"If you don't have money, don't even think about going through the checkpoint to get it, either you just find a place to put down roots around here, or you can go somewhere else." The woman sighed and shook her head.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how much money you need to get through? Is it by team or something else? If you are a dependent, will you not have to spend money? ”

At first, Shi Jin was really worried, but she suddenly thought of the relationship between Mrs. Jiang and Meng Chang.

Meng Chang is the little marquis, although he is not in the team at the moment, he thinks that he will come back soon, at that time...... You should be able to use his face to go to Kyoto together, right?

"Officials and dependents also have to spend money, but that money is nothing to the official family. I don't know how much money we need, and we wait here, but we don't know if we'll be able to get there. ”

Speaking of this, the woman sighed again, "This disaster just doesn't want ordinary people to live!" ”

After the woman finished speaking, she nodded at Shi Jin to say goodbye, and her family was waiting for her in the shade of the tree on the other side.

Shi Jin stood there, looking at the family leaning together under the shade of the tree, that family was also considered to have a large population, there were many girls, and there were only two boys, and the snacks that the woman brought back were divided among the two boys.

It looked like the two boys still had some flesh on their cheeks, and the girls were already very thin.

If the disaster continues, sooner or later they will be sacrificed because of the boys.

Retracting his gaze, Shi Jin glanced ahead a few times, then turned around and went back to find Fang's mother.

"I really didn't expect that if I want to go to Kyoto now, I will have to pass such a level." In the carriage, Fang's mother couldn't help frowning after hearing Shi Jin's words.

"If that's the case, even if we pass here, I'm afraid we won't all be able to enter Kyoto."

Fang's mother is from Kyoto, and she has heard some things from her elders in the past, so she knows something.

When she said this, Shi Jin inevitably had to ask a few more questions, and Fang's mother didn't hide it and told her about it.

At that time, Fang's mother had not yet been born, and one year there was a disaster in a county town not far from Kyoto, which soon spread to the surrounding towns.

At that time, as now, many wealthy families wanted to go to Kyoto, after all, it was Kyoto, and no matter how much disaster occurred, they would not be unable to survive.

But Kyoto couldn't bear it, so some officials presented it and set up checkpoints everywhere.

Even if you pass through the checkpoint, you won't be able to enter for one reason or another when you get outside of Kyoto.

"With so many people outside of Kyoto, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Listening to Fang's mother, Shi Jin asked.

"Naturally, I was worried, so during that time, both the people inside and outside Kyoto were panicking."

"Fortunately, there is no endless road, the disaster comes and goes quickly, and with heavy guards, some of them were sent out of the checkpoint before, and they slowly recovered."

Fang's mother hadn't seen the situation at that time, but when she heard about it, she felt a cold sweat.

If the disaster is not alleviated, those people will gather outside Kyoto, fearing that sooner or later, Kyoto will run out of food and grass.

If the people outside hold a grudge and refuse to let the grain and grass in and out, it is also possible for people to eat people.

"I don't know if this disaster can be the same as before, I'm worried now, we have passed the checkpoint and will be stopped outside Kyoto when we turn back."

"Madame, they can get in, but we ......."

Fang's mother's worries are not unreasonable, with Meng Chang and Mrs. Jiang here, it will definitely be no problem to pass through the checkpoint and arrive in Kyoto, and it will not be a big problem for them to enter Beijing.

It's these people who are hard.

Even though Kyoto is the capital of the Son of Heaven and everyone can come and go, but it is normal, and under special circumstances, no one knows what will happen.

Shi Jin frowned, and looked at the eldest girl and the second girl, her plan in advance was fine.

After many things before, even if the Jiang family's team was allowed to enter Kyoto, they might be an exception, and it was always right to leave some leeway......
