It's almost time to get to the county seat.

Originally, according to their footsteps, the two-day journey took the grandfather three days. As soon as they came, the three of them had a weak physique, and they had never experienced such a difficult long journey, resting while walking, resting and walking, which can be said to be grinding all the way. Thanks to the three boys' temporary intentions, they ordered the clay pot and bamboo mat, otherwise, just looking for water to drink would be a troublesome matter. Fortunately, it is now the golden autumn of August, and you can also find some wild fruits along the way to satisfy your hunger, otherwise, relying on a can of rice by the way, the third man is hungry and faints early, where can he go to the county seat.

Second, after all, it is a fugitive identity, and when you encounter people, you must try to avoid and try not to contact the crowd.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, I saw that the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the city wall of the county town could be seen from afar. The straw sandals had long since broken down, and now the three of them had bark or wood chips tied to their feet. The redness and swelling on Liu Ju's face have completely disappeared, but he has been darkened by the sun, and he is like the original Pianpian Jia Gongzi, just the body shape and footwork, and the faint breath of the superior, no way, years of cultivation have become an unconscious habit, and he stuffed a wooden branch in the so-called shoe. There was pain under his feet, but his face had to remain calm.

As the county seat approached and the number of pedestrians increased, the father and son could no longer dodge, Bao'er's mouth was stuffed again, and Harazi began to flow again. At the gate of the city, several of the same notices were posted, and what we saw earlier, under each notice, there was a group of people gathered, there was a special public office in the yamen, reading the contents of the notices loudly over and over again, and the crowd of onlookers made bursts of exclamations from time to time, immediately opened their eyes wide, patrolled left and right, hoping that the pie falling from the sky could be smashed on their heads, of course, there is no pie in this era, in the face of such a big thing, who cares what era!

Why did the emperor rebel with one son, how good it would be to have a few more sons to rebel! At this time, more than a dozen people ran out of the city gate, including soldiers, officials, and catchers, and dispersed the onlookers at the city gate, and then a large group of people of all kinds, dozens of people were driven out by the officials behind them, and a civilian-like official shouted: "All of them, come and get people", and seven or eight people walked out from the side and stood in front of the crowd

"Coming from Oyanagi Village"

"From the village of the lower estuary, this way"...

With the shouting, from time to time someone in the crowd came out and gathered in different places. One after another, everyone was almost gone, and there were still seven or eight people looking at each other, at a loss. The soldiers in the back came up and drove these people back, and what was puzzling was that the rest of the people did not shout, nor did anyone cry out for grievances, and they were quiet. This kind of scene was staged two or three times when Liu Yi and them came, there were twenty or thirty people, and there were more than ten people, and the scale was not as large as the first time. Except for one person, they were all taken away by the village Lizheng.

"Those who have entered the city can enter the city now. After entering the city, go to each pavilion to sign the detain, and those who do not sign are caught, and they will be dealt with as suspects! and those who did not enter the city were brought back by their own miles, and those who were not taken away were taken away. ”

Liu Ju's father and son are now completely blinded, and there is a wooden sign in the spring dove, but they don't dare to go, and they can't go. As long as you go to Lizheng to report there, you will immediately reveal your original form and have nothing to hide. Fortunately, they didn't know each other, they didn't know Lizheng, and Lizheng didn't know them. Now what? Run? Where to run? Can you run away? As long as you run, you will immediately become the focus, what if you don't run, what if you don't run? Just when Liu Ju was anxious, two officials came over. The only thing Liu Ji was glad in his heart was that there were not only their grandfathers left, but also four, two of them seemed to be businessmen, a slave and a businessman, and a literati.

Of course they are grandfathers. Beggar's look! The two of them looked like businessmen, and when they saw the officials coming, they immediately turned out the wooden sign in the shape of a road guide from their sleeves, and handed it over with a smile on their faces. The official glanced at it, but did not answer.

"Go inside and wait" pointed to the city gate.

Entering the door, near the city wall, there is the same grass hut, and next to the grass hut is also posted a sketch portrait of the prince and his old man, and the same text is written in the blank space of the portrait, the same person is in the grass hut, and the other is outside the grass hut, circling around a person.

The difference is that the one in the hut is not napping, but kneeling on the side of the desk, asking questions and writing on a piece of wood. Seeing almost the same scene, the crown prince Liu Ju's mood calmed down a lot, not as flustered as when he was in Shili Pavilion, and he also helped Xiao Budian tidy up his scattered hair and pick up the invisible dead grass leaves in his hair.

"Name?"

"Mountain"

"Where are the people"

"Xin'an County"

"Where did it come from?"

"Xin'an County"

"When?"

"Yesterday"

"What are you doing?"

"Walk relatives"。。。。。。 The scribe asked slowly, and wrote slowly.

The two soldiers next to him circled around while comparing the portraits, one measuring the height of the man with a wooden stick used as a distance. After about a cup of tea, he motioned to another soldier and let him go.

Next.

Those who are about the same height stay; The skin is white, and he remains; The thick eyebrows remained; Detail left; Short beard, left. Of course, our crown prince was also left behind, although he was now not white-skinned, nor had thick eyebrows, nor was he barely bearded. However, the height has not changed, and the details have not changed. Although the wanted notice didn't say that he had two children, it didn't say that he didn't have children. In this way, the grandfather was classified into the team of suspects, and there were already five people in front of this team, of course, not including this grandfather. There was actually a half-lame one among the five, just because he was also thick-eyed.

Little by little, the sky slowly darkened. Their team increased from eight to fifteen. After closing the city gates, they were taken to the county office, and fifteen of them were placed in an empty square, which was supposed to be a school ground. There is a row of straw huts in the school yard, there are more than 10 rooms, it seems that they are newly built, there are already forty or fifty people, everyone is quietly sitting, standing, or lying in their own straw huts. Liu and the other two were placed in a grass hut. In the grass hut next door, Liu Ju actually found an acquaintance---- the literati scholar who was taken away together at the city gate today, wasn't he let go at that time? Why are you back? The scholar also saw him, and their grandfather was also quite conspicuous at that time, old and young beggars, beggars.

Although there are many beggars in this era, beggars with two children are still rare, under normal circumstances, beggar fathers will sell their children, in case they are sold to a good family, maybe they can still have food and clothing, and it is better to starve to death with two children. It's good to be able to feed yourself by asking for food, and you can also feed your family, who has so much leftover food to feed you. The scholar glanced at them lightly, and did not pay much attention to what the three beggars were worthy of attention, except for a moment of surprise.

Liu Ji saw that the two children were lying on the thatch and fell asleep, yes, the toss along the way was enough for their brothers, after all, they were all children, and they were pampered before, how could they have suffered this kind of sin. Seeing the contempt and disgust on the scholar's face, he was no longer in the mood to talk to him. People have hierarchies, and people who are not of one rank should never try to get into the circle of another class, because they have different ideas, different practices, and different perspectives. If you are like a beggar now, you must be a beggar, and you must see the world through the eyes of a beggar.

"All Rise Up and Eat"

One of the officials carried a stack of earthen bowls in front, one of the officials carried a bucket and put several bowls in front of each straw shed, and the officials in the back poured a spoonful of black gruel into each bowl.

The grandfather was holding an earthen bowl and drinking black porridge with a snort, not uncomfortable at all. In half a month, in just half a month, they completed the perfect transition from brocade clothes and jade food to coarse tea and light rice, which cannot but be said to be a miracle. It is said that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury, which also depends on the specific situation, compared with life, everything is not worth mentioning.

"I'll give you this bowl too" The scholar next door saw that their grandfather was still unsatisfied, and finally showed pity, and handed over his bowl of porridge from the gap in the fence, of course, the main thing is that he can't eat it at all, this black is also called rice?

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xiao San looked at each other's eyes and asked seriously.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat," the scholar replied simply.

"Then thank you" Xiao San was not polite, he directly took the bowl, gave some to his father and brother, and drank the rest in one go.

I don't know why, I have been hungry during this time, and the amount of food seems to be bigger than that of my father and brother, "Maybe I'm going to grow up" This is the reason Liu Chang found for himself.

"Aren't you already gone? Why are you back? When Liu Chang handed the bowl back to the scholar, he asked by the way.

"Hey" the scholar sighed and did not answer. Mercy is mercy, and talking to these inferior people, it is still not possible.

Liu Chang is also very interesting, just asked casually, the grace of a meal, there is no need to return it immediately, I didn't expect him to answer. After eating, the sky was completely dark, and there were still soldiers around the grass hut, and on both sides of the school gate, two dead wind lamps were hung, emitting a dim light in the dark night.
