Early the next morning, Sun Shangxiang bid farewell to the kind-hearted widow's family of three and embarked on the journey north again.

However, when she set off again, Sun Shangxiang had already left her strong outfit to the master's family, changed into the clothes of the master's deceased husband, and tried her best to dress herself like a man.

Not only did the clothes change, but the hairstyle was also changed to a man's hairstyle, and he spoke in a low voice as much as possible, and his little face was smeared with a little grass ash, which didn't look so white, and at first glance, he really couldn't tell that it was a girl.

The host also kindly taught Sun Shangxiang some words about the stay, in short, don't be so blunt, ask for others, be quiet, and don't entangle if people don't agree.

The most important thing is that it is better to find a market and sell her horse, otherwise it will be too conspicuous to lead a horse out of the house these days.

The other Sun Shangxiang listened to it, but she was really reluctant to sell horses.

This is her favorite horse of all her horses, black and without a single stray hair, but beautiful.

And he saved her twice.

After setting off again, in addition to changing her clothes, Sun Shangxiang's kind host also gave her a few pieces of bran cake as dry food.

Originally, Sun Shangxiang didn't want to accept it, although she only lived for two days and one night, she also knew how hard it was for a widow to take care of two children in this host's house.

I saved the chaff cake at home, and then gave it to her, how can this work?

But the host said that the strong outfit left by Sun Shangxiang was sold enough for their mothers to last until the autumn harvest, so these chaff cakes can be regarded as a return gift to Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang reluctantly accepted it and continued to hurry.

Continue all the way to the north, according to the teachings of the village woman, try to pretend to be a man along the way, and when you meet someone who is staying overnight, you don't have to sleep in a house, a barn or an abandoned house, just have a shelter from the wind and rain.

There were also some bumps along the way, such as someone took a fancy to Xiaohong and wanted to rob halfway, or they really didn't find the village, so they could only rely on Xiaohong to rest in the wild. It was twists and turns all the way to the ferry of the Yangtze River.

Sure enough, Sun Shangxiang did not have a place, and the officers and soldiers guarding the ferry did not let Sun Shangxiang pass through, so Sun Shangxiang had to retreat and look for other ways.

The best way, of course, is to mix in with the ranks of displaced people and smuggle across the Yangtze River.

There were so many displaced people in these years that the officers and soldiers couldn't manage it at all, so they basically turned a blind eye.

It is simple for Sun Shangxiang to blend into the ranks of the homeless, but her Xiaohong is too conspicuous, and the water thieves who are responsible for organizing smuggling have taken a fancy to it at a glance, and she has to use Xiaohong as a fare for crossing the river.

Sun Shangxiang was reluctant to let Xiaohong go, but the water thief obviously wanted to rob it, and in the end Sun Shangxiang had to fight off the water thief with a long sword again, and then quickly escaped on Xiaohong.

Unable to cross the river in this vicinity, Sun Shangxiang continued to walk upstream of the Yangtze River, and continued to blend in with the ranks of displaced people, thinking that he would always find a place to cross the river.

But gradually, Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed.

No matter which side of the water thief, as long as Sun Shangxiang takes Xiaohong, without exception, they all ask to use Xiaohong as the fare of the ship, and the value of a horse is too great.

Sun Shangxiang had to reconsider the question of Xiaohong's stay and stay.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has eaten her bran cake.

Going out alone, Sun Shangxiang didn't dare to sell the long sword, which needed to be used for self-defense.

And now the money is gone, and the chaff is gone. Sun Shangxiang had to think about selling Xiaohong for money.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang was still a little reluctant, so she decided to go to a larger county town and find a good family for Xiaohong, which would not be a disadvantage to Xiaohong.

Then, Sun Shangxiang followed the tide of displaced people all the way to Xiapheasant County, selling horses on the street.

At this time, Zhang Xi was in the county office, dealing with the paperwork for the resettlement of displaced people.

The spring ploughing has ended, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei saw that the two counties of Xia Pheasant and Qi Chun had settled down, and they didn't plan to stay in Jiangxia longer, so the two of them took Lei Xu together and went back to Wuling.

Zhang Xi could actually leave Xiayan County and go back to Xiakou to continue to be his county leader, but no one expected that after the spring ploughing, there were still many homeless people, dragging their families all the way, coming from all directions.

Zhao Lei really didn't dare to let Zhang Xi go like this, there were so many homeless people, he really couldn't settle down.

There is no vacant land in Xiazhi and Qichun counties, but there are still a large number of homeless people rushing to Jiangxia, Zhao Lei is only the county commander of Xiaxia County, he really can't control so many homeless people.

Without Zhang Xi's overall planning, these displaced people would not have been able to arrange to be resettled in other counties.

Therefore, Zhao Lei dragged Zhang Xi and did not let him leave, otherwise the two counties, which had finally settled down, might face a riot of displaced people at any time.

Zhang Xi is also helpless, how did Cao Cao and Sun Quan do it, are there so many displaced people among the people under your rule? !

In fact, this is really not to blame on the two families of Sun Cao, it is a certain second force who has to settle the displaced people in the land, which has led to this series of consequences.

Sun Cao's family both belonged to Tuntian, but in these years, the displaced people also hoped to have a piece of land of their own.

Comparing the two sides, of course, the homeless people are willing to come to Jiangxia to try their luck, in case they get a few acres of their own land, isn't it earned?

And now the local officials of Sun Cao and Cao have also noticed the abnormal flow of displaced people, and they have also begun to take jurisdiction, but the mobility of displaced people in these years is too strong, and the control has not played a role for a while.

In this way, in the month after the spring ploughing, nearly 1,000 displaced people came to Xiapheasant County, and Zhao Lei had to leave Zhang Xi behind and settle these displaced people.

Because the opening for the resettlement of displaced people has been opened, it is difficult for Zhang Xi, a displaced person who comes again, to turn them away, so he can only find a way to move to the three counties in the north of Jiangxia, which is not something that Zhao Lei can decide, and it must be the county of Zhangxi that issues a relocation document.

Zhang Xi has been busy with this matter this month.

As for Zhao Lei, he worked even harder than Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi just sat in the county government and corrected the documents, but Zhao Lei had to go to the displaced villages at this time, guide the displaced people to farm, adjust the relationship between the villages, and coordinate the contradictions between the foreign population and the local population. It's very tiring to be a pro-people official these days.

Zhao Lei is not staying in the county office, Zhang Xi is sitting in the county office, naturally, if there is a dispute case, this matter must be decided by Zhang Xi.

In fact, in the past few years, there are village elders in the village, and there are city officials in the city, and ordinary dispute cases really can't be dealt with in front of Zhang Xi, unless there is a major criminal case, Zhang Xi can ignore it.

But now there is a dispute case, but Zhang Xi can't ignore it.

Because one of the parties to the dispute is Wen Ping's son, Wen Dai.

The cause of the incident is very simple, that is, when Wen Dai passed by the market today, he saw someone selling horses, Wen Dai was curious, went over to take a look, and took a fancy to it at a glance.

The horse is a really good horse, black and shiny, without a single stray hair.

But the master's family doesn't know how to raise it, and the skinny ones who feed it have wasted good horses in vain.

Wen Dai was born as a military general, but he couldn't see this kind of person who didn't cherish horses, so he naturally stepped forward to reprimand the owner of the horse, and wanted to pay for it and buy the horse.

But Wen Dai went out on patrol to inspect the place and maintain law and order, so he didn't bring much money.

Therefore, Wen Dai instructed the boy who sold the horse to let him go to the county government to get the money, and he took the horse away first.

Then the boy who sold the horse pulled out his sword directly.

Wen Dai originally looked at this kid unpleasantly, but when he saw this kid draw his sword, where could he still get used to this, and immediately pulled out his matching sword.

One thing to say, it's just a misunderstanding.

Wen Dai's practice is a common practice for high-ranking officials and nobles today, if you don't have enough money, you can say a place and let the seller get the money, naturally not a penny will be lost.

After all, it's a matter of reputation, Wen Dai has been in Xia Pheasant County for a long time, there are always some people who know that he is the son of Wen Ping, and Wen Dai will not ruin his reputation and his father's reputation for such a small amount of money.

After all, there are a few shameless people in these years.

But the boy who sells horses, that is, Sun Shangxiang, definitely doesn't believe it.

She doesn't know Wen Dai, and this guy wants to take away her Xiaohong without paying a penny, and she doesn't know what the conditions at home are, whether she will be good to Xiaohong, how can she just hand over Xiaohong to him? !

Although Wen Dai said that he would go to the county government to get the money, Sun Shangxiang didn't believe it.

First, a county government, in the eyes of Sun Shangxiang, does not have much credibility.

No matter how unlucky she is, she is still the little princess of Jiangdong subconsciously after all, not to mention the county government, it is the county order, and she is not a trustworthy person in her eyes.

Along the way, Sun Shangxiang saw a lot of good things, but in the end he just wanted to deceive himself and steal Xiaohong's bastard, how could he trust people so easily.

Sun Shangxiang was in a hurry, so he treated Wen Dai like those bandits and bandits, and directly drew his sword and threatened.

And Wen Dai, after all, is the son of an official eunuch in this era, and he is a military general, the other party draws a sword, so how can he show weakness, naturally he also draws his sword.

By the time the city officials arrived at the scene of the incident, the two had already started a fight.

And the city official is in a hurry. Forget about the boy who sells horses, Wen Dai really can't afford to offend.

And what is even more offended is Zhao Lei, the county magistrate of this county, and Cheng Zhangxi of Jiangxia County.

The two have just issued an order document, in order to make the displaced people live a stable life, the city officials must ensure that the market is prosperous and enforce the law fairly. Now this posture, how can I get it?

Gathering crowds to fight in the downtown area, violating market control, no matter who is right or wrong, it is necessary to hit the board first and then judge the case.

How dare the city officials hit Wen Dai's board, they don't want to live, right?!

But if you don't beat Wen Dai's board, then the city official will be beaten by Zhang Xi, this county official really won't give face at all, and several colleagues have already been beaten.

The city official, who was torn between the dilemmas, struggled for a while, and finally came up with a good idea.

I don't dare to fight, so report it.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the market guards to step forward, surrounded the two of them, and then sent the two people and a horse to Zhang Xi.

And as soon as Zhang Xi heard about this, he looked at Wen Dai and felt a little headache.

It's not a big deal to hit Wendai's board, but the question is, what will be the reaction of Wendai after beating Wendai.

Wen Dai led the troops to come to the pheasant, and Wen Ping asked him to come to the platform, if Wen Dai was punished, it would cause Wen Ping's misunderstanding and disgust, what should I do.

If you don't support yourself, there will be more and more such behaviors in the future, who will live and do business in Jiangxia with peace of mind.

As for the other one.

"Who is the one standing in the hall?!"

"Wen Dai."

"Sun Ren."

Well. Well?!!

Sun Ren?!!!!

Zhang Xi almost stared out his eyes.
