Chapter 71 This team is really difficult to lead
Gaojia Village, on the east edge of the village.
The exile team of people and horses settled here with the consent of Zhenghe clan elders in the village.
Gao Shusheng, who was born in Li Zheng, led some villagers to help set up the camp. Basically, they did not need to do anything themselves. They were just the escorting men who pointed out the suitable places.
There is a stretch of deserted houses in the eastern suburbs. Most of them are leaky and dilapidated, but they are not uninhabitable. There are also some thatched shacks, which can block a lot of cold wind and keep warm when sleeping at night.
The escorted officials definitely don’t have to live here, but there are so many prisoners. It’s definitely not possible for so many people to rest in the villagers’ homes. The village is already taking a big risk to welcome them into the village. .
No one knows what crimes the prisoners have committed.
The Min family caravan entered the village in advance and had already finished helping Xiong Jiushan and the other officials, so there was no need for them to pay any more.
The officers and soldiers under Xiong Jiushan were very happy, and Xiong Jiushan did not refuse. In order to prevent the prisoners from causing trouble in the village, centralized detention was adopted, and a dozen or dozens of people were divided into piles. Placed in different houses.
Those who cannot be accommodated are placed outside. The detainees have a good place to sleep tonight and are in a good mood. They don’t mind temporarily giving the tents to the prisoners.
A few people were pulled out of the big tent and people were stuffed inside. The people on duty outside took over when the time came.
People who rebel against discipline on the road are easier to deal with. Afraid that they might cause trouble in the middle of the night, there are also a lot of shackles and shackles on them. They are all put on their bodies and they are all taken to an abandoned house and locked up.
The attitude towards their custody is much stricter than that of others. No matter what, as long as one person inside makes trouble, they all sit together. After a few lessons, there is no need for officials from outside to come in and clean up the wolf inside. Hubao himself first gave his roommate a good beating.
The prisoners in the east of the village, who had been noisy for most of the day, gradually became quiet after a simple dinner.
Thanks to the villagers, the prisoners had an extra mouthful of hot water to drink tonight. They were all contented to lie down in the surrounding houses and tents sheltered from the wind and soon fell asleep.
The main officials headed by Xiong Jiushan naturally do not have to live with their prisoners here.
As soon as we set up camp, we were taken to the village by Manager Min and the villagers early, and rested in a private house arranged in advance.
When outsiders enter the village late at night, the people in the village are already awake.
Some of them got up and yawned and waited for a while. They heard people coming back from watching the excitement outside saying that they were not allowed to touch each other tonight, so they turned around and went back to sleep with their blankets covered.
We’ll talk about it tomorrow after I’ve had enough sleep. What’s the rush?
But there were also some people, knowing that there was a shortage of help in the village, so they got up to change their clothes and went to find Li Zheng.
With the caravan in front, the accommodation conditions for Xiong Jiushan and others were immediately improved. Four dishes, one soup, white rice and steamed buns were all available. Two pots of soju were placed on the dining table, and the dinner was delicious. It smells good. Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. The fatigue of the day will disappear.
After these days, I feel comfortable tonight.
Xiong Jiushan was very satisfied, and his attitude towards Gao Lizheng was much kinder, "Thank you."
Gao Lizheng said with a smile: "Adults, take a good rest, as a villain should."
Xiong Jiushan nodded, "There are a lot of prisoners, and many of them are extremely vicious, but Li Zheng and the villagers don't have to worry, those people will be strictly guarded by the officials, and they will never be allowed to enter the village to disturb the villagers. , please rest assured. But tonight is special, I hope Li Zheng can also tell others not to go near the camp of the prisoners, so as to avoid any accidents that will be difficult to deal with."
Gao Li Zheng and others nodded. "I know, I know, don't worry, sir! I will warn others when I get back."
"Well, that's good. We need to prepare some things on the way out of the customs. Lao Gaoli will be helping everyone tomorrow morning. "Yes." Xiong Jiushan said directly.
When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces.
With the words "Guardian in Charge", what else don't you understand?
Xiong Jiushan's meaning is clear, don't worry about anything, not tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow.
After Gao Lizheng and others exited, the adjutant beside Xiong Jiushan went to close the door and turned around to wait for Xiong Jiushan to rest.
"Sir, why do I feel that the villagers in Gaojia Village are too enthusiastic? They don't have any ideas, right?"
Xiong Jiushan stretched his feet in the hot water and supported them with both hands. The edge of the bed, looking at the ground.
"It's indeed a bit abnormal." Another officer next to him who was still enjoying a drink at the dinner table said: "Maybe it's because the people in the caravan are more generous and they came here first."
< br>
Before, these escorting officials did not particularly like the people of the Min family caravan, so they followed their exile team.
After all, there are many people and many things to do, and it is easy to cause trouble.
But tonight everyone enjoyed a good life without spending any money. Many people showed a lot of goodwill to the Min family, and many prison officers also chatted with the people in the caravan privately. .
Somehow, Xiong Jiushan can always think of the Xie family.
Probably in Songjiang Town, he saw with his own eyes how Xie Yuchuan prayed to gods. While waiting outside the village entrance, when thunder and lightning suddenly appeared above his head, his first reaction was to glance at Xie Yuchuan's location.
Really...
Xiong Jiushan felt that the idea in his heart was wrong. He could not associate any unexpected things with their Xie family.
But it is true that the people in Gaojiacun are somewhat enthusiastic.
According to common sense, people in ordinary villages are very resistant to such a large group of prisoners and would like to let them cross the border quickly, but Gaojia Village does not.
And he didn't seem to feel much rejection on the faces of Gao Lizheng and other villagers.
Occasionally, a look of fear flashed across his face, which was normal, but he found that Gao Lizheng's eyes were often looking eastward.
What is there in the east worth his frequent peeks?
Convict?
Convicts pass by every year, and they have become accustomed to it.
With officers and soldiers in custody, as long as no major problems occur, there is no need to worry about anything.
Xiong Jiushan thinks a lot, and his natural intuition always makes him inadvertently think of Xie Yuchuan.
Before falling asleep, he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, it was really hard to lead this bad team.
Exile camp in the eastern suburbs.
The Xie family was lucky to be accommodated in a civil house tonight.
Although the house has been abandoned for a long time and is a bit shabby inside, it is much better than other houses. It is not ventilated.
A family from the Dongbohou Mansion also stayed overnight in the courtyard of this house.
Zhang Hanlin's mother and son had been in and out of the Xie family for a long time. When the three families got together, they looked at each other and said hello to each other.
Zhang Dayi stroked his beard, sat on the wooden board and leaned against the wall, watching the young and old of Dong Bohou's Chai family coming in and out to settle down. When he finally left on official business, he saw with his own eyes Chai Jin stuffing the other party with benefits.
The old gentleman's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Xie Yuchuan, who was not far away.
He mouthed something.
"Looking at it like this, tonight is a coincidence arranged by the Chai family."
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and glanced at the Chai family, his face remained calm and he just nodded lightly.
The Chai family came prepared.
I felt bored until late at night (covering my eyes), so I updated the routine first!
