Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

I'm afraid this is not the kindness of the county magistrate, but an oppression of the people. If he really cared about the good of the people, he would not let people into the city without restraint.

With so many refugees pouring in at once, one can imagine what kind of chaos Linxi Town would become.

Yao Shu and the village chief had the same view on this matter. Neither of them planned to stay in Linxi Town. They only planned to pass by by passing by. Now they haven't had time to talk to everyone.

Seeing how excited everyone was, the village chief felt his head hurt even more.

"Everyone is so happy for nothing."

"At least I can pass through the city safely and continue to the north. I can also buy some things in the city. It's not a bad thing after all."

Compared to the village chief, who was having a lot of headaches, Yao Shu was much more open-minded. She went to the city early to have a look, so we didn't have any hope for Linxi Town.

The world will be in chaos, and it will be difficult to find stable towns.

Everyone in Dahe Village was happily thinking about the good days after entering the city. Some people had even thought about renting a few acres of land. Wang Chengzhi looked embarrassed when he heard their plans for the future.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? We're going to the city soon, aren't you happy?"

Wang Chengjin asked very puzzledly.

When he thought about not having to flee in the future, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. He could finally live a peaceful life. By then, the two brothers would definitely be able to live a prosperous life.

"Going to the city is not necessarily a good thing. Things are not as simple as you think. I'll go find Aunt Yao."

Wang Chengzhi glanced at everyone worriedly. He had to go to Yao Shu to discuss it quickly. If it was a little later, maybe someone would enter the city.

It was no wonder that he was so worried. In his opinion, no matter how smart Yao Shu was, she was just an ordinary woman. She didn't understand the intrigues in the officialdom. He was afraid that she would be fooled by the appearance, so he had to remind her quickly.

The Wang brothers came from a high background. They were also children of officials in the past, but their family fortunes fell into decline. In the end, they were the only two brothers left. Wang Chengzhi was still a scholar and was more aware of the twists and turns in the officialdom.

He had already guessed the Linxi Town magistrate's plan, he was simply a beast.

I saw him hurriedly rushing to Yao Shu.

"Aunt Yao, I have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing that Yao Shu still had guests to entertain, the village chief stood up and left with a face. Anyway, his matter had been taken care of. In order to reassure Yao Shu, he even took the initiative to say.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to do some work first. Don't worry, I'll tell you all, and we'll let you all go into the city together."

What he means is that everyone will go to and from the city together and will not stop in Linxi Town. There is no need for them to spend a lot of money here.

Wang Chengzhi, who was already anxious, couldn't help misunderstanding after hearing this, and quickly stopped the village chief.

"Please also ask the village chief to stay, this matter is related to everyone's safety."

He was worried that it would be troublesome if the village chief informed everyone to settle in the city.

After entering the city, everyone saw the grandeur in front of them, and they were even more reluctant to leave. It would be too late to try to convince everyone.

Wang Chengzhi looked like the sky was about to fall, but the village chief and Yao Shu were so frightened that they thought something fatal had happened, and their faces became very ugly.

Even Yao Shu found it difficult to maintain her composure. She didn't know which god they had offended, and they couldn't live a comfortable life.

Finally got a chance to enter the city, but in the blink of an eye something happened again.

"What's going on here?"

"Auntie, we must not go into the city!"

In the current situation, the two people were thinking about completely different things. Although they were not completely opposite, there was a misunderstanding. Yao Shu couldn't figure out why he couldn't even enter the city.

"Why?"

"The county magistrate suddenly changed his mind and allowed refugees to enter the city. There must be something fishy in this. I am afraid that the local officials are trying to make money and will abandon the city and flee after getting the money."

Wang Chengzhi hurriedly expressed his guess. If this was not the case, the county magistrate of Linxi Town would not be able to let the refugees enter the city so easily. This was completely regardless of what would happen to Linxi Town in the future.

Even though Yao Shu had already made some guesses, she was still frightened and angry when she heard that the local parents had such sinister intentions. This really treated human life as nothing.

"What a dog officer!"

She had no respect for the so-called imperial officials, so she immediately cursed him.

Even though the village chief didn't say anything, looking at the angry look on his face, I'm afraid he's already scolded him several times in his heart. This corrupt official didn't even let go of the last bit of life-saving money that the homeless people had. It's really abominable. .

"Sister-in-law, are we still going to the city?"

The village chief couldn't help but be a little worried, fearing that it would be unsafe to enter the city, and he didn't want to spend his money to give the dog officer a free advantage.

"Come in, of course we have to go into the city. As we said before, we can ask the village chief to make peace."

"I'll go right away."

The village chief turned around and left again. This time Wang Chengzhi did not stop him. Seeing the look of disapproval in his eyes, Yao Shu explained patiently.

"We always have to leave Linxi Town and continue going north. It's much safer to pass through the city. You can still afford the entrance fee."

It must be thanks to Yao Shu that she made a fortune in Weihu Village, otherwise the entry fee for these hundreds of people would be really hard to say, it would cost more than ten taels of silver. Before that, everyone would have been extremely poor. .

Seeing that Yao Shu and the village chief had come to an agreement, Wang Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. That was good, and he had nothing to worry about. He admired Yao Shu even more.

In his opinion, Aunt Yao is really a very knowledgeable person, and she can even see clearly what happened today.

Yao Shu didn't even know that her image in the eyes of others had improved. She looked at the direction of the city gate and felt quite uncomfortable when she saw the crowds of people at the city gate.

Did these refugees ever know that the life-saving straw in their eyes was actually a deeper abyss?

Even though there is a decree to allow people to enter the city, there are very few refugees who can actually enter the city. The refugees have fled all the way here and are living in the open air outside the city. How can they afford the cost of entering the city.

In the end, only one or two out of ten were able to enter the city.

Those refugees who don't have enough money often have to think of other ideas.

Just when Yao Shu was stunned, a stranger came and interrupted her thoughts.

"Old madam, do you want a maid? Look, my daughter is capable of a lot of work. Whether she is a servant or a foot-warmer, she can do it for only one hundred cents."

A man with a slovenly beard pushed the girl next to him and brought her to Yao Shu. The man's face was full of hope.
