After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

After returning from Xu Laogen's house, Pei Ji's mood has been very low.

He hugged Zhu Jiangjiang and lay on the bed.

In less than a stick of incense, Zhu Jiangjiang heard him sigh countless times, and vaguely heard his sniffing in the middle, I don't know if it was her illusion?

She didn't dare to ask, but just accompanied him silently, waiting for him to adjust his emotions.

Shouldn't she have told him this?In other words, she should have discovered the clues of this long ago.

He remembered that when she married into Xiaohuang Village, it was Xu Laogen who exchanged a cow with Song Gu for her. At that time, the whole village in Xiaohuang Village couldn't eat, and everyone was pale and emaciated.

But at that time, the village could afford a cow to replace her.

Looking back now, in fact, the clues had already appeared at that time.

"Sanggong, Manager Wen will be back one day. It's not too late for you to go and see the portrait. You should get a good sleep now and don't think too much about it."

After Pei Ji sighed again, Zhu Jiangjiang finally couldn't help but speak.

Her words did not make Pei Ji feel relieved, "Lady, tomorrow I'm going to lead the way to the Yamen and go to see the mountains. Let's talk about the portrait."

He is running away.

Knowing that Wen Wushuang will be back to work soon, but he dare not look at the portrait.

I want to use the excuse of going to see the mountains to escape this fact.

Didn't he accept this at Xu Laogen's house just now?

Now it was Zhu Jiangjiang's turn to sigh, and she patted his head with her backhand, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"no!"

Pei Ji's voice immediately gained strength, "It's cold outside and the road is slippery. If you go, what if you encounter danger along the way, you can't go!"

"...But I want to see what the cottage looks like." Zhu Jiangjiang pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

She was really curious about what the ancient bandit cottages looked like. Is it the same as it was shown on TV, with the houses full of human bones?

"Miss!"

Pei Ji had nothing to do with her, she always had this strange curiosity.

That bandit's cottage is not a good place, what is she going to do with a girl, not to mention she is pregnant, how dangerous it is to go up and down the mountain.

"Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go."

If it weren't for his bad mood, Zhu Jiangjiang wouldn't give in.

"Then will you come back after taking the road? Are you going to drop by the border again?"

Pei Ji didn't answer her question right away. When he came back, he had to face Wen Chengru. If he didn't come back, he would be reluctant to wish Jiangjiang.

"Back." He still chose to come back.

"My lady, don't tell her about Xiaoyu, I'm afraid of her..." Pei Ji suddenly choked up.

Although Pei Xiaoyu was not by her side from birth to growing up, he still loves and loves this little sister very much.

Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that they were originally a family related by blood.

"I know, she will never know this secret in her life."

Since this secret can be kept from the whole Xiaohuang Village, how difficult is it to keep it from Pei Xiaoyu?

……

The next day.

After a whole night, Pei Ji still didn't figure it out. According to what he said last night, he went to the city, took the people from the yamen, his chariots and horses, and headed towards Guanshan together.

"General Pei, thank you for your generosity and assistance, I am very grateful."

Zhou Liang heard that there were bandits hoarding food in Guanshan to solve his immediate needs, so he immediately transferred someone and went to Guanshan with Pei Ji himself.

Because Pei Ji didn't have a good rest last night, he was absent-minded all the way, and he didn't listen to what Zhou Liang said.

Seeing this, Zhou Liang shrugged and didn't care.

This great general never liked people to get close to him, he was used to it long ago.

After Pei Ji and Zhou Liang went to Guanshan, something happened in Jiangnan Town.

"Sister Zhu, it's not good, it's burning, oh no, it's fighting..." Shen Min hurried into the courtyard of Pei's house, muttering loudly.

Zhu Jiangjiang is obediently carrying out Pei Ji's instructions, staying at home and not going out to blow the wind.

But who knows, Pei Ji just left yesterday, and Shen Min brought her bad news today.

"What's burning up and fighting again? Tell me well."

At the moment, Zhu Jiangjiang is still immersed in calligraphy and painting, and doesn't take it seriously.

Zhou Liang's matter of asking for food was settled, and she also told Pei Ji's secret. She didn't hide anything in her heart, so she naturally calmed down a lot.

Seeing her like this, Shen Min stomped her feet anxiously.

She snatched the pen from Zhu Jiangjiang's hand, and the ink stained Zhu Jiangjiang's hand, "Sister Zhu, I went to the city to take over the work today, and saw that something big happened at the gate of the city."

"I heard from people in the city that a group of refugees who escaped from the famine were messing around outside the North City Gate this morning. They not only beat people, but also burned the fence of the North City Gate to keep warm. Right now, everything is in chaos inside and outside the city! "

"You asked the people in the city to find the yamen for this matter, why are you looking for me?"

Zhu Jiangjiang stopped wiping his hands suddenly, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou seems to have gone to see the mountains with the general, doesn't he?"

"That's not right! Now there is only one master in the yamen, how can he manage things?"

Thinking of that cowardly person who only knows how to deal with the common people, saying that everything will be discussed after Mr. Zhou comes back, Shen Min became very angry.

This master didn't take responsibility, he hid in the yamen and didn't dare to come out to solve the matter.

At this moment, the people who stopped the refugees at the gate of the city were the nursing homes of the wealthy families in the city.

"Sister Zhu, the North City Gate was blocked today, and the refugees found that the North City Gate could not enter. Tomorrow, they will make a half-circle around the town to the South City Gate. At that time, we are afraid that we will suffer."

In fact, what Shen Min was worried about was not that the refugees would enter the city, but that the refugees would not be able to enter the city and would be transferred to a small deserted village.

Xiaohuang Village is not a closed city, and the front and back of the official road can pass freely. If refugees arrive here, there will be chaos in Xiaohuang Village.

Zhu Jiangjiang also thought of this question.

In terms of resisting the refugees, they are not helpless. When the time comes, the doors of the Phoenix villas, restaurants, and homestays will all be closed, and the refugees will not be able to enter.

If you are afraid, you will be afraid, the refugees will stay here and will not leave, and spend time with them.

"How many refugees are there and where do they come from? Have you found out clearly?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked solemnly.

"I took a look inside the city gate. There were about 300 people. I heard from the guardians of the city that they seemed to come from the Guanshan side." Shen Min said her guess.

It's Guanshan again!

Zhu Jiangjiang has been hearing these two words in his ears for the past few days. Why are there so many things happening in Guanshan?

"Then you go to the city and tell the guards and the refugees that Mr. Zhou from Jiangnan Town has gone to Guanshan to support him, and he will distribute food immediately. Let them go back to get food for the winter."

Fortunately, the bandit's stronghold was in Guanshan, and the area that Zhou Liang was in charge of supporting was also in Guanshan.

These coincidences, on the contrary, helped the people of Guanshan, and contained the symptoms before the outbreak of refugees.
