For those who see food appear out of thin air, it is really shocking, even if the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, there is still a difference between imagining and seeing with their own eyes, it is really shocking.

Everyone was first taken aback, then excited, and then began to kowtow to their ancestors' tablets!

Ugly and ugly is super speechless, okay, I did a good deed, and the credit was given to your ancestors.

Forget it, it doesn't rely on merit to cultivate anyway, and it doesn't make any difference to it if there is no gratitude from anyone, so it won't be entangled.

Qian Yan suddenly remembered Liuyuan County's side, and said to Chouchou: "Since you have seen those bandits in the windy space before, they are not pretended to be by officers and soldiers, and the treasures hidden over there should be those bandits."

As the saying goes, there are three caves of cunning rabbits, and those yards are probably the dens of those bandits, by the way, can you be sure that it is the yard of the bandits? It can't be a small treasury of some big family, right? ”

Ugly: "No, there are weapons in there, and there are some boxes with blood stains wiped clean, and they don't look normal." ”

Qian Yan nodded, "That's good, let's just collect those things, and when the time comes, we will buy some food and distribute it to the people affected by the disaster, and it will be regarded as atonement for those bandits." ”

Ugly: "It's okay, those things are gold and silver and some jewelry ornaments, most of them are high-quality products, and everything else should be disposed of, and then the gold and silver will be exchanged for food."

It's not convenient for us to buy it ourselves, so I collect it directly from the shops in the towns that haven't been affected by the disaster, and give them the equivalent amount of gold and silver, so they won't suffer, and we will save trouble. ”

Qian Yan thought about it and felt that it was okay, and there should be no shortage of food in those places that were not affected.

However, he still reminded: "You take a few more shops, at least half of them are left for others, the weather is not good, in case there are problems in those places later." ”

Ugly: "Okay, I know, I definitely won't be able to take it."

By the way, Wangkou Town is going to make trouble again, I glanced over there yesterday, and the mayor of the town took in a lot of victims of the disaster, but he only accepted young and middle-aged people, and I think he didn't hold back his fart.

Otherwise, he would have been killed directly, and his younger brother of the county order, the two brothers were embarrassed, and it would be a disaster to keep them. ”

Qian Yan nodded, she also felt so, although the other party couldn't hinder her in the future, who let someone rob them before, this is also a feud, and the other party is indeed a bad person, so it should be taken as a harm for the people.

"Then you do it cleanly, as long as there are innocent lives in your hands, you can deal with it, don't leave trouble, you can't be a bad person in the whole mansion, there are always a few who can continue to be the abbot of the overall situation."

Ugly nodded, "I know, after I fused the windy space, my divine sense is stronger now, and now I can see the side of Qinian Village, and it is not a problem to deal with a few people." ”

After saying that, Chou Chou went back to the space, it wants to go inside to do this, and the consciousness is stronger in the space, as for how to operate it, it doesn't matter if it is dumped.

She poked out her sense and observed the surroundings, there were woods and villages on the side of the road, and the official road was easier to identify, so it was okay if the ugliness was not there.

Fortunately, although the village is on the side of the road, there is no movement outside because of the heavy snow, otherwise she would have to go outside to catch a car.

I looked at an archway in front of me, there are some meritorious people in this village, otherwise this kind of archway would not be built.

There are three words written in the middle of the archway about Xuejia Village, what a coincidence, I met the same surname, this village will not all be surnamed Xue, right? I don't know if it's the same family as her family.

She took a look at the village, which was on a high ground and next to the official road, which was obviously much better than other villages, and there were a few shops on the main street.

If it weren't for the Xue family village written on the archway, I wouldn't know it and think it was a small town.

The further you go to the east, the fewer caves there are, the more adobe houses and thatched houses, and the town is mostly brick or stone tile houses, but this village is a mixture of adobe tile houses, that is, the walls are adobe tiles.

There are also two courtyards made of bricks, which should be the best in the village.

Qian Yan probably glanced at those people, they were all cooking in the house, they were in a good state of mind, and it seemed that the food was sufficient.

They are now more than 20 miles away, and they are only more than 20 miles away from Liquan County, and the snow here is obviously lighter, and the snow is not so thick.

It should go to the calf of the person, and the big bear doesn't have to work so hard to walk in front.

Qian Yan thought about it, opened the car door and came out, took out some grass and a piece of rock candy from the storage bag, and prepared to add some heat to the big bear.

There happened to be a large vacant lot outside Xuejia Village, and I didn't know what it was for, so now it was just right for them to dock.

It's not that I have to rest and cook or anything, but the main thing is that the horses have been gone for almost a day, and they have to be fed with fodder and water.

She didn't need to say hello, and the people behind saw that she turned into the left and stopped, and they all turned the car around.

Everyone didn't need to command, they parked the cars one by one in an orderly manner, and then started to do their own thing.

Some feed the animals first like Tilt Yan, and some light a fire on the ground to boil water for cooking, after all, they don't have a charcoal stove in the car, so they can't drink hot water.

There are also people who talk to each other, ask about the situation and routes they don't know, and even go to the village to buy things.

They were busy with their own things, when they saw a group of people coming out behind Hula who had just gone in to buy something.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what the situation was.

Qian Yan observed the other party's expression, and saw that there was no hostility or malice, so she relaxed slightly.

I just thought it was a few people who went in to get into trouble.

I only heard an uncle who had just gone in say, "Don't be afraid, they heard us pass by and came out to buy things with us." ”

Although everyone relaxed a little, they did not relax completely, and they looked at each other, and finally the representative of the caravan leader stepped forward.

"What do you want to buy? I don't know if we have what you need. ”

These people, except for a few carriages that travel by themselves, the fleet is all for business, and the cars are full of goods, and it is not impossible to sell some on the road, as long as the price is profitable, anyway, it is to make money.

A representative was also selected over there, and I saw a middle-aged man take a few steps forward and hugged his fist and said: "In Xia Xue Jinshui, it is the village chief of this Xuejia Village, because of this snow, no one has gone out for almost half a month."

As you must have seen, there are shops in our village that sell some of our produce to passing merchants, and exchange it for what we can use here. ”

The leader of the caravan also clasped his fists and saluted back, "Village Chief Xue is polite, in Xia Han Yunqi, he is the shopkeeper of Yunqi Commercial Bank, these are the goods of our commercial bank, but I don't know what you need, what is the output here, we can communicate with each other." ”

Xue Jinshui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this, it seems that there is a door.

"We produce red dates, walnuts and thick wine here, all of which are grown and brewed by our own family, you can taste them, and the taste is guaranteed to be better than those elsewhere.

There are also sheep and cattle, mutton and sheepskin, and there are also marinated ones, which can be eaten directly on the road. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came up with a basket and a pot of wine, and it seemed that they had already prepared.

Han Yunqi and a few others who were also interested stepped forward and tasted them one by one, only Han Yunqi drank a glass of wine, and the others sniffed it and took a sip.

It is estimated that he is afraid of drinking and making mistakes, or falling into the way, after all, it is indispensable to go out to defend against people.

Qian Yan waited for them all to taste before she stepped forward, picked up the jujube and walnuts and tasted them, and tasted the braised mutton, she was not interested in the wine.

Well, this jujube is very sweet, the flesh is thick and the kernel is small, and the walnuts are also very fragrant, but the skin is a little thick, not the kind of paper walnuts in later generations, the meat is also good, very fragrant, not at all.

Xue Jinshui saw that they all showed satisfied expressions, so he spoke again: "We want to exchange some fabric, cotton and grain, and what else you have, we also want to use it." ”

Hey, don't say it, they really have that.

An ox convoy pulls all grain, coarse grains, fine grains, and miscellaneous grains.

Han Yunqi's caravan had cloth and cotton, but not much, they came to the northwest this time mainly to collect fur, and they brought some cloth and cotton.

This Qianyan also has it, or crossed the Ming Road, before buying a lot of cloth and cotton, the Fang family father and son thought she was going to make quilts, but she had been in a hurry and didn't have time to do it, in fact, let the store do it a long time ago.

Fortunately, the fabric is expensive, and the people in Xuejia Village did not change too much, just to make cotton clothes for children.

So Qian Yan exchanged five catties of cotton, two pieces of cloth, and some needles and threads, which she was rich in, and others brought them for their own use at most.

Neither side used the money, but it was bartered, and the price was well known, but there was no dispute.

After the exchange of things, the people of Xuejia Village went back, they should have done this thing often, and they didn't drag their feet at all.

Qian Yan also knew the purpose of this vacant land, and it was probably used to barter with passing merchants.

They didn't stay long, they rested a little, ate a little and went on their way again for the sake of their livestock.

There are still more than 20 miles to go, and if you stick to it, you should be able to arrive before ten o'clock in the evening.

It's seven o'clock, it's already dark, and there's a short mountain road ahead, plus snow, so the speed can't be fast, maybe slower than walking.

On the road again, it was still Tilt Yan to take the lead, and everyone also found out that Tilt Yan did not miss it, and she was always on the official road.

The few carriages that followed behind before walked to the front, and the back was a convoy, and the Han family's caravan had a dart master, so it came to the end, which could be regarded as protecting everyone.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they all thanked each other.

Everyone lit the torches in advance, and they couldn't see the road when it was completely dark for a while, of course they didn't all light it, like Tilt Yan lit it, and Chen Shijin and the Fang family's father and son's car didn't need to be used later, just follow her light.

It's not good in the back, the snow is much smaller than usual, and it's easy to lose it if you can't see the road.

Then there was a torch to light in three cars, and the same was true for the convoy.

Their line was quite long, and it was quite spectacular from a distance.

Fortunately, the road was just difficult to walk along the way, and there were no accidents, and we arrived at the gate of Liquan County at 9:45.

Then they found that they could not enter, and the gates of the city were closed.

Tilt Yan frowned, there is also a curfew here? It can't be the same as that plain county, it's also a problem, right?

Everyone didn't expect this situation, because when they arrived at the county seat, they could live in an inn to rest, but they didn't expect to be blocked outside when they arrived in a hurry.

Fang Zhengyi frowned and said aloud to everyone, "Have any of us ever been to this Liquan County?" Was there a curfew before this? ”

Han Yunqi walked out, also frowning and said: "I often come and go to this route, and when I came here, I stayed in Liquan County, there was no curfew at that time, and there were still people staying in the inn where we stayed in the middle of the night, and it is said that they entered the city at night."

Why don't we go to the garrison and ask if something happened before the city gate is closed. ”

Everyone also agrees that since there is a question, it must be asked, and it can't just wait stupidly.

In the end, Fang Zhengyi and Han Yunqi went to ask, and the people who went were afraid that the sergeants would think that they were gathering to make trouble.

The distance was a little far, and they were all talking here, so that Qian Yan couldn't hear what they were saying when she looked at the past with her divine sense.

I only vaguely heard that the destruction of the gate, martial law and the like, should be the reason for the closure of the city gate.

When the two came back, without waiting for them to ask questions, the two directly explained to everyone: "The city gate was closed this afternoon, and the sergeant guarding the gate said that the Guan family, the richest man in the city, was destroyed last night, and a large family of more than 30 people, including slaves and livestock, were not spared.

It was discovered by the man who went to their house in the morning to deliver firewood, and it is said that the corner door where he often entered and exited was not closed, although there was no one, but he was already very familiar with it, so he thought it was a door left for him, and as a result, he found a corpse in one place.

After the man reported to the official, the county magistrate ordered the city gate to be temporarily blocked, first check if there was a murderer in the city, and then open it to the public, so as not to take advantage of the chaos. ”

Qian Yan said speechlessly: "Didn't he think that the murderer had already run away last night?" Who will kill people and stay in the city waiting to be caught. ”

Everyone else nodded approvingly.

"Yes, it's been half a night, people must have run away early, they are looking for it in the city, doesn't it give the murderer more time to escape."

"That is to say, this county magistrate also seems to be a confused official."

"You keep quiet, say anything, beware of being heard and taken to jail."

"You are too bold, I didn't say it to the county order, and the officials said that they could speak freely, where did he come from such a big official ...... a county order."

"Okay, okay, you shut up, it's getting worse and worse, the officials dare to say it......"

Qian Yan sighed, this topic is crooked.

Fang Zhengyi cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Everyone be quiet first, listen to me, and no matter what the situation is inside, we will definitely not be able to enter tonight, the top priority is how we spend the night?" ”
