The carriage was full of women, and Zhou Qi's carriage was slow, and it was already after noon when he arrived in Qizhou City.

Several people had already discussed it, and it was not too late to go to the mansion after reading the list first.

Now they are crowded in the crowd with their heads held high, exactly the same as when the county tried to release the list that day.

It's just that the road in Qizhou is much wider than that in Jinfeng County, and the government office is also a large vacant land.

Even so, there are still many people who hide their faces on the ground and cry, scold, dance, and tear......

Su Ling clenched his hands into small fists and put them on his chest, his feet kept pacing small steps, and said, "Lang Jun, don't be nervous, you must be on the list!" ”

After saying that, he looked up at the list......

Zhou Qi looked at her in his eyes, but she was really cute.

As for the list, he doesn't have much interest, and according to his performance in the exam, it shouldn't be a big problem to mix up a show.

In view of the experience of the last county exam, this time the women started from the top of the list and looked down.

From the beginning of the full expectation, the more I looked back, the cooler my heart became, until I watched all the sixty shows, and I didn't see the name of my man......

And Zhou Qi has already swept the list at a glance, saying that it is a little lost.

Why is this really so difficult in the ancient imperial examination!?

What are these sixty chosen ones?

Su Ling was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he still didn't forget to comfort his own Lang Jun, hooked his little hand on Zhou Qi's elbow, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun, it's okay, if we don't do well in the exam this time, we will make persistent efforts next time!" ”

Wu Zhitao, who was also watching the list, also flattened her mouth, and Zhao Cuihua wiped away her tears.

"Alright, let's look at the new house." Zhou Qi smiled.

This is the first time in his life that he is in a bad mood because of the exam, and he can suddenly understand why those poor students threw knife-like eyes at him every time he went to school in his previous life.

To know who the sixty shows on this list are, he may be able to hate them now.

Fortunately, I didn't have the intention to take the imperial examination, so I didn't get in......

"Yes, yes, look at the house, you have to clean up when you get to the new house, but you have to be busy!"

Zhao Cuihua pulled Wu Zhitao into the carriage, Su Ling and Zhou Qi followed, and when they came, several women were giggling and making noise, but now the carriage was very quiet, and no one made a sound.

Even if there is occasional small talk, it is all inconsequential, and no one mentions the imperial examination again.

Ziheng Street is located in the west city of Qizhou.

Although it is a market, there are basically no shops, no vendors, and no pedestrians.

The people of Qizhou City are more accustomed to doing business on the main street, and the further south they go, the more prosperous they become, and the east and west sides can basically be located in the suburbs.

Zhou Qi's baronial mansion was located on Ziheng Street to the west, near the end.

It's a mansion anyway, and I saw two mighty male and female stone lions standing in front of the door, the one on the left is missing a horn on its head, and the one on the right is also missing a foot, sloping to the ground......

There are three or two steps at the door, which is what the ancients often said about the threshold, the more steps, the higher the threshold.

The two red lacquered doors have fallen a little bit of patent leather, and the copper rings on them have long been rusted, and the carved top edge of the door is not half good......

But despite this, the old mother Zhao Cuihua still sighed with glowing eyes: "It's so big!" ”

Walking inside, the empty courtyard was overgrown with weeds, but someone should have walked around and trampled out of the road.

At this time, Zhou Qi remembered what Liu Sichen said, there are often homeless people and robbers.

But it's too late......

At this moment, in the corner outside the main hall, there is no human figure to be seen.

The moment they opened the door, a pair of hungry eyes looked at them in unison!

The women also noticed those figures, and instantly let out an exclamation.

"Ahh ……”

Now, all the displaced people rushed up......

Zhou Qi's first reaction was to protect them behind him, and then a dagger was thrown out from his sleeve at a very fast speed, and Wu Zhitao also touched the brocade shoes in a panic......

The displaced people have arrived, and roughly estimates that there are more than a dozen.

Zhou Qi is thinking about whether to break them one by one or go first.

He still has a little confidence in dealing with these homeless robbers who can't get enough to eat, but after all, there are three women behind him, an old pregnant woman and a yellow flower girl, if he really fights, he will only care about the left and right! ……

Seeing this group of people, they are about to rush up......

At this moment, Su Ling behind him suddenly said: "Wait! ……”

After finishing speaking, she quickly unloaded the package on her back, and threw it forward with all her might, and in an instant the homeless people surrounded her, and there was a scramble for the package on the ground, and she picked up the food inside and stuffed it wildly.

Instead, the gold and silver beads that wrapped it were left aside.

At this time, Zhou Qi reacted, there should be no robbers here.

The reason why the displaced people are called displaced people is actually a group of peasants who are running around and have no place to live.

This kind of group is generally caused by war or disaster, and most of them are hungry and poor.

In the face of more than a dozen people, instead of fighting with them, it is better to throw away the rich food in your hands.

"The lady is so smart."

"In the past, my father also helped the displaced people in Jinfeng County, they are not bad, Lang Jun, you see ......"

Su Ling said, pointing to the left side of the courtyard.

I saw that a small piece of land came out of it, and there were a few green wild vegetables growing on it.

However, before the two finished speaking, the food in the package had already been snatched up, and the homeless people who did not rush turned their heads to look at them even more fiercely......

At this time, several people didn't care about money, and Zhao Cuihua and Wu Zhitao threw away the package one after another......

Half an hour later, Zhou Qi was already sitting in the main hall, behind him were several women, and below were the homeless people who had eaten and drunk enough, and at this time they knelt on the ground and introduced themselves one by one.

"I am a resident of Huangyun Village, Pei County, the chief is a heartless person, robbed my daughter-in-law and kicked me out, I finally came to Qizhou City, I wanted to find an errand to do, but no one asked me to ...... at all"

"I came along the road from the north, and a few years ago, my home was ...... by a natural disaster."

"I ......"

They had already heard that a baron was going to come and live in this house, and the big guys were talking about waiting for the baron to come, and then they would work together to drive them out!

But I never expected that this baron would actually give him food, and he said that he could give some more if he was honest.

Is it important to live or to eat?

They chose the latter, sleeping on the street or under the bridge.

Anyway, you can't live without food, otherwise you'll really die!

As for those few wild vegetables, they can't fill their stomachs at all, and besides, as long as they receive food that can fill their stomachs, where can they be planted?

But there was still a childish voice that spoke: "Big brother, can you not drive us away, we have no place to live when you come." ”

In the corner, a woman was holding a little girl, about six or seven years old, with no two pieces of flesh on her dirty face, which was almost the same as skin and bones, and her hair was very scarce, and she looked very malnourished.

An old man kneeling in front of him looked at them and said, "This is the daughter-in-law of the third child of my family. ”

After Zhou Qi listened, his heart was a little sour, but he was not a person with a good heart, and there was a doubt in his heart that was very puzzled, so he only asked, "How did you occupy this mansion?" ”

As far as he knew, because of the rebellion and natural disasters in the early years, there were many homeless bandits.

These people have always had the habit of occupying territory to develop.

Although this mansion is a little old, I can't stand it!

According to their description, they are all helpless peasants, how did they survive other desperate bandits and officers and soldiers who went around arresting homeless people, and settled here?

When this question came out, no one spoke for a long time.

Soon after, the old man, who was still kneeling in front of him, spoke, and said, "When we saw that there was no one living in this courtyard, we moved in." ”

He was telling the truth.

When Zhou Qi asked that question, they were all stunned.

Isn't it just a house?

Is there such a thing as occupying or not occupying?

And Zhou Qi is a little sensitive and suspicious now, but he still glanced at them suspiciously, expressing his disbelief.

"If we were to change the previous one, we would definitely not be able to live in such a good land, but then there is a new prefect, as long as we don't make trouble, they won't care about us!" The one kneeling behind seemed to have figured it out and explained.

"What about the robbers?" Zhou Qi asked.

A few people stared at each other again, and finally the old man in front of them said, "You mean Songzi and their gang, right?" They are not in the city, they are all gathered on the other side of the mountain, where there are many merchants from the Xiju Kingdom who have come to Qizhou to do business, and they are there to block the road and rob ......"

"If there are more merchants, won't there be more to the south of the hills?"

"How dare you, the south leads to the capital, and there are many officers and soldiers! Besides, wasn't there a war a while ago? How dare you go that way......"

……
