Chapter 265: Secretly Probing
Under the leadership of the refugee leader, when they went back to work in the afternoon, the refugees' motivation was obviously much worse.
The work is slow and mistakes are always made.
After checking the account books, the chief bookkeeper of the Ministry of Agriculture leaned against the back of the account room, locked the door and drank a little wine, not knowing the situation of the refugees at all, and never imagining that the refugees had already begun to escape.
Lin Bin, who came and went without a trace, never left the construction site, and was silently observing the situation of refugees and officers and soldiers in the dark.
A refugee carrying a log put down the wood and sat on the ground, glaring fiercely at the refugee who was moving stones next to him.
"What are you doing, what are you doing so hard! Didn't you listen to what the chief said at noon?"
The reprimanded refugee looked unconvinced:
"I'm not afraid of being seen......
"What can you see? What can they do to you?"
The refugee slowly lowered the stone, looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one noticed them, he whispered:
"Before the leader figured out how to escape, it would be better for us to be careful!"
With that, the refugees picked up the rocks again......
Escape......
This kind of word was captured by Lin Bin in the dark, and he immediately approached it quietly......
"you, those stinky officials are lying to us doing their jobs! Then they're going to kill us or drive us away! You're going to be the one who is wronged?"
"You make a little noise!!
The two refugees pushed and shoved, and their voices became more and more blurred, but Lin Bin, who was standing in the dark, heard it clearly.
How could they think that?
Lin Bin, who had doubts in his heart, did not rush up to ask, but decided to go back first and tell Ye Hao everything he heard.
"Killed? Chase away?!"
Ye Hao listened to Lin Bin's description and immediately got up from the stool.
"How could they think like that? It's really a big deal, I gave out the money, the people, reclaimed the wasteland to build houses for them, and they actually wanted to escape, thinking that I was going to harm them...... What the hell is going on......
Ye Hao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lin Bin stood next to him and said nothing, he had already reported everything he could say.
"Is there anything unusual in the master book? Could the refugees' misunderstanding have something to do with him?"
Lin Bin shook his head slightly.
"I don't see anything unusual in the main book."
After speaking, Lin Bin paused and added:
"It's that there's nothing abnormal in what I see, and it's possible that something is wrong with what I didn't see, because ......."
Ye Hao stared at Lin Bin suspiciously.
"Because of what?"
"Because I look at the way the master speaks and does things, I feel very uncomfortable, I don't feel like a good person, but there is no problem in doing things, and even ...... That's a good job."
Lin Bin's expression was a little contradictory.
He wasn't sure if the master had done anything in the short time he'd been away and back in.
After listening to Lin Bin's explanation, Ye Hao couldn't help but think of Xie Yunshu's reminder again.
They seem to mean the same thing.
Is there really something wrong with this master book?
"I'd like to see it for myself."
Ye Hao said with serious eyes.
Lin Bin hesitated for a moment, wanting to persuade her not to go, but he knew that he couldn't persuade her.
What she wants to do, no one can persuade her.
"If you go like this, you can only end up with what I saw, and if you want to see the real situation, you need to infiltrate the refugees."
Lin Bin solemnly helped her analyze.
Ye Hao raised her eyebrows, and she had an idea in her heart.
"I've got a way."
"What ......?"
Before Lin Bin's words could be asked, at this time, Steward Yue came.
"Ma'am."
Steward Yue smiled, looking like he had come with good news.
"What's the good thing?"
Ye Hao put down her thoughts and smiled at Steward Yue.
"Lin Gongzi is also here, it's a good thing, the old wasteland was built for the girls...... The dormitories are all built, just waiting for you to come and have a look!"
"Covered? So fast!"
Ye Hao's mood also improved, and she wanted to check the fruits of her labor in advance!
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Ye Hao happily beckoned to Lin Bin and called him to go to the old wasteland to see the new dormitory.
Lin Bin's gaze fell on Ye Hao's back, against the light, but it looked better than the sun.
The newly built dormitory was even better than she imagined, and Ye Hao was very satisfied with the careful inspection inside and out, and there was no problem at all.
"That's good, that's good! Let's go to the new wasteland again."
As soon as Ye Hao said that she was going to the new wasteland, someone around her immediately went to inform the master of the Ministry of Agriculture.
"What? Madame herself is here to make the rounds?"
The master bookkeeper threw down the wine glass and immediately ran outside, found a basin of water, and washed his face vigorously, but he couldn't wash away the smell of wine on his body and the blush on his face.
hurriedly changed his clothes, and while fastening his belt, the master bookkeeper hurried to greet Ye Hao, who had arrived at the construction site.
"I don't know that Mrs. is here, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive her sins."
The master book leaned down and bowed to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao squinted at him and said quietly:
"No need to be polite, the dormitory over there has been built, I just went to see it, it's good, and then I'll just stop by you to have a look, don't be nervous."
"Yes, yes."
The main bookkeeper should straighten up.
Ye Hao saw the flush on his face and a slight smell of wine.
Ye Hao and Lin Bin glanced at each other.
Ye Hao was puzzled: What's going on?
Lin Bin Innocent: I don't know, when I watched it, he didn't drink.
When Ye Hao retracted her gaze, she muttered in her heart.
I'm not sure if the idea of the refugees trying to run away has something to do with the master bookkeeper, but it depends on the situation......
Her instincts told her that eight or nine should not be separated from ten.
Subsequently, the master book took Ye Hao to look around.
The construction of the house, the selection of timber, and the temporary shelter and food for the refugees......
Read them all.
Indeed, as Lin Bin said, the master book knows the details here very well, and there is no problem at all.
Ye Hao took two steps, stopped in front of an unfinished house, bowed slightly, and said politely.
"Lord Bookkeeper, it seems that everything is going well here, I am a woman, and the number of times I come out on weekdays is relatively small, I don't know if you have any difficulties in building a house, if you have, you can tell me, if I can help you solve it, I will do my best to help."
As soon as he heard this, the master immediately shook his head again and again.
"No, no, like you said, everything is going well here, everyone is working very hard, and it won't take long to build all the houses in this area, and soon everyone can live in them."
"That's right, then, I'll take a casual look and go back."
Ye Hao deliberately said this, wanting the other party to relax his vigilance.
Sure enough, the smile of the master bookkeeper was piled up on his face again, and he patted her ass while opening the way for her.
"Madame, you are well aware of the righteousness, erudite and talented, draw drawings for us, and work hard to personally supervise the work, and care about our duties, if there is any problem and always trouble you, it is a dereliction of duty of the lower officials!"
The main book's words are earnest, and his eyes look quite sincere.
I drank too much wine, but I was not ambiguous at all.
Deeply aware of righteousness, erudite and talented...... This sycophant shot almost made her believe herself.
Ye Hao didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, yes
Later, he secretly gave Lin Bin a look.
Lin Bin understood, and then turned his gaze into the distance, pointed to the carriage in the distance, and said to the master:
"It looks like there's new timber coming in there, so you always check the new timber yourself, right?"
Before the master book could answer, Ye Hao immediately took over the conversation:
"Since that's the case, then I won't bother the master bookkeeper, you go quickly, I'll take a look at it myself, and I'll go back later."
"Uh......"
The main book's eyes were chaotic, and before his brain could turn around, he was pulled away by Lin Bin.
Under Lin Bin's eyes, a group of people who followed the master also left in a huff.
Ye Hao was left alone.
She avoided crowded places, found a secluded corner, and took off her outer clothes, revealing the tattered clothes inside, similar to those of the refugee women.
This is what she had just sent someone from the New Wastelands to find her.
I've heard that the women there are starting to change into clean clothes, and it's really hard to find this kind of dirty.
After changing her clothes, Ye Hao grabbed her hair again, wiped a handful of dust on the ground and patted her face, making herself look like a refugee......
After taking care of the water in the tank next to her and tidying up her "appearance", Ye Hao quietly blended into the refugee group.
Sure enough, she slowly noticed that something was wrong.
The more we go to places where there are many refugees and few officers and soldiers, the slower the progress of the construction of houses will be.
The refugees were lying down and resting, and the phenomenon of several people standing together talking and chatting without doing work was getting worse, and even the elderly refugees who were overseeing the work were lazy.
Are these people looking for an opportunity to escape?
I haven't made any moves yet, is it because I haven't figured out how to run yet?
But why exactly......
When Ye Hao thought of this, she made up her mind to figure out the situation!
More importantly, she wanted to know if these misunderstandings had something to do with the master bookkeeper she had found!
She found the open-air kitchenette that the master had just taken her to, where she cooked for the refugees.
I just found out that there are more women here, and the women who cook seem to be very kind, so they should be very communicative.
Ye Hao sneaked into the open-air kitchen, pretended to sneak in front of the earthen stove, and then reached out and took a steamed bun.
"What are you doing?"
The woman who was cooking drank softly, and Ye Hao pretended to be frightened and put the steamed bun back.
"Who are you? I haven't seen you ......."
The woman glanced at Ye Hao, and then paused with an embarrassed expression.
Ye Hao smiled innocently.
"I just entered the city yesterday, and I heard that there is work and food here, so I came here...... Eldest sister, see if you can ......."
"Oh, let's eat."
The woman smiled awkwardly and brought her the steamed bun.
Ye Hao took two steamed buns and began to gnaw them, and she was overjoyed, this woman was really kind and talkative.
After nibbling on a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, she began to inquire about the news.
"Eldest sister, I just came here yesterday, I don't know anything, how are you here? Is it really taking in refugees? Can you find a job to do, can you have something to eat, can you settle down for a long time?"
The woman's eyes were downcast, her face was embarrassed, and she glanced at Ye Hao again.
"I...... I also just came here and I don't know, anyway...... Looks ok, I didn't ...... No comments."...
Listening to the woman's answer, Ye Hao's eyes were slightly disappointed.
I couldn't even ask.
The woman looked at her, saw that she was silent, and continued to do her work, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
This noble lady is really, a good day is just to pretend to be a refugee.
I also want to find out the wind.
When they are all blind and blind, will they not be able to recognize it?
These noble ladies are just like the official, and they want to put it
They are called as slaves, and none of them have a good thing!
