The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 103 The smoke of gunpowder is spreading
In September, various crops mature one after another, indicating that the time for autumn harvest is coming!
Yu Jiuer suppressed the various emotions and worries in her heart and focused on directing everyone to harvest.
Only when her granary is full and her pockets are bulging can she feel a little at ease.
Since it is unavoidable, she can only deal with it as it comes and finish the current task first!
When the family members first arrived in Yinshan County, Yu Jiuer did not immediately arrange for them to work in the factory.
Since they had to rush the harvest, she simply concentrated all the manpower and asked the prisoners and their families to help complete the autumn harvest as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.
This decision was supported by everyone.
The prisoners and their families had been separated for many years and finally got together with great difficulty. They had endless things to say and endless hardships to share. They were grateful to the county magistrate for having the opportunity to work together!
Therefore, this year's autumn harvest fields in Yinshan County saw a different scene from previous years. From time to time, bursts of hearty and satisfied laughter could be heard from the fields.
The prisoners and their families were in high spirits and did not feel tired at the work. Yu Jiuer had originally planned to harvest all the wheat in more than ten days, but she finished it in less than seven days.
This made her sigh in her heart: It turns out that working together as a man and a woman makes the work less tiring!
Even the local Yinshan people were infected with their joy and became excited, their hands moving at an incredibly fast speed.
There was even a scene where local people and the prisoners' families competed with each other.
The fields are filled with laughter and are bustling all day long!
Faced with these selfless and hardworking prisoners and their families, the people were no longer afraid or worried. Within half a month, everyone had become close as brothers.
Yu Jiuer did not tell them about her worries.
There are more hardships than joys in this world!
Why did she cruelly destroy the people's moments of happiness?
As for her inner speculation, she only told the people in the county government and the cavalry who were bringing her family back.
He warned them: "You must always be alert to anything unusual happening in the county."
In response, the second uncle disagreed and said, "Don't worry about it and disrupt your plans! The prince may just be going to deal with some ordinary affairs!"
Yu Jiuer was not as open-minded as he was. When it came to the lives of ordinary people, she would rather believe it than not!
These hardworking and kind-hearted people support her so much. If she cannot protect them, is she worthy of their worship and following?
As the cavalry continued to bring their families into Yinshan County, the county suddenly became lively and the streets were suddenly crowded with people.
Since the number of prisoners and their families increased, the farm's canteen could no longer cope with the workload and could not prepare meals for so many people.
Therefore, Yu Jiuer simply cancelled the previous big pot meal system on the farm.
Grain, oil, rice and flour were distributed to everyone, including the families of new prisoners.
Let those who have homes go home to eat, and only those who don’t have homes can eat in the dining hall.
In the past, in addition to working on the farm to earn money, the hardworking local people also took time to pick up some land in the surrounding area to grow vegetables.
This time I'll just take it out and sell it to the prisoner's family.
Not all of these families were impoverished. Some of the officials' families or those who were doing well after their homes were ransacked still had quite a bit of money in their pockets.
As a result, the market day that used to be held every three days appeared again on the streets of Yinshan County.
The noisy environment made Yu Jiuer worried, but seeing the people enjoying themselves, she couldn't bear to stop it.
After all, those dangers were all her speculations. It would be cruel to use them to scare the people and make them live in fear all day long.
However, the danger would not disappear automatically if she did not mention it.
On this day, a cavalryman arrived with his family. When counting the people, he suddenly asked, "Where are the other two?"
This made Yu Jiuer, who was already on edge, jump up and ask hurriedly, "What do you mean there are two more people? Are there two less from the family you brought with you?"
"Yes, there were two people, named Wang Xi and Wang Xiao, brothers in their twenties, who came to seek refuge with the prisoner Wang Dali. But how come they disappeared after entering Yinshan County?"
These words made Yu Jiuer's heart sink.
The smoke of gunpowder really spread, and Jun Mo’s opponent attacked Yinshan County!
Yu Jiuer asked others to receive the new family members.
Then he hurried back to the county government office and called Wang Dali to ask about his family situation: "Besides your two sons, do you have any other relatives?"
After Wang Dali understood the whole story, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees, crying, "My wife is still at home!"
The cavalryman shook his head and said, "No, at the station, Wang Xi and Wang Xiao said that their mother passed away last year, and they are the only two brothers in the family!"
"How could this be? We were exchanging letters a few months ago!" Wang Dali's eyes widened in fear.
Yu Jiuer suddenly thought of a very serious problem: Could it be that someone has already sneaked in by pretending to be a prisoner's family member?
After all, some of the prisoners had young children when they left home, and they have been at the Great Wall for more than ten or twenty years. How can they recognize whether the people are really their family members?
Yu Jiuer asked hurriedly: "Wang Dali, how long have you been in Yinshan? Can you still recognize your son?"
Wang Dali said honestly: "I have been here for five years. When I left, my two sons were already adults, so they naturally recognized each other!"
The cavalryman described the physical features of the two people he had picked up based on his memory.
Wang Dali cried, "No, no, my eldest son Wang Xi has a big head, so he is called the Big Head Son; my second son Wang Xiao has small eyes, which narrow into a line when he smiles. They don't match the two people you are talking about at all!"
Yu Jiuer felt even more uneasy after hearing this. She ordered the cavalry: "Ask one more person to accompany you to Wang Dali's hometown to see if his family is still alive!"
After the cavalrymen took the order and left, Yu Jiuer said to her second uncle with a serious face: "We are in trouble!"
After thinking for a while, Yu Jiuer called Cheng An and said, "Call all the prisoners to the county government office for a meeting immediately! Tell them that I want to arrange their future work! Remember, only call the prisoners, and no family members are allowed to come with them, so as not to alert the enemy!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The autumn harvest has only been going on for a month!" asked my second uncle.
Yu Jiuer patiently explained: "Those prisoners who have been serving sentences in the border areas for more than ten or twenty years may have long forgotten what their own children look like. If the visitors can briefly describe the family situation, even if there is no mother or wife at home, the prisoners will believe that they are their relatives! They all believe that no one will pretend to be someone else's children or grandchildren for no reason, so they will accept it."
"So, let's start catching bugs!" Yu Jiuer sighed.
At this point, the second uncle finally came to his senses: "Do you think the prince's political enemies have sent people to infiltrate?"
"It's not a guess, it's a certainty. Aren't the two people who just disappeared obvious enough? They have obviously hidden in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike!" Yu Jiuer was anxious and immediately ordered the yamen runners,
"Send someone to guard the city gate. From now on, if any prisoner's family members come, they must be personally identified before they can be released! As for how the prisoners are to identify themselves, I will explain it to them in detail at the meeting later."
At this time, Jian Er suddenly visited and handed Yu Jiuer a letter: "A letter from the prince!"
Yu Jiuer opened it and quickly skimmed through it. After reading it, she sighed, "This letter is a little late after all."
"What did the prince say in the letter?" asked the second uncle.
"The prince reminded us to be careful of someone using the prisoners' families to sneak in! He also sent letters to the cavalry at various stations. Unfortunately, the cavalry that arrived first did not receive the message on the way, and eventually brought the enemy in!"
After Yu Jiuer finished speaking, she leaned close to Jian Er's ear and whispered, "Aren't you going to tell me why the prince went to the capital? His pigeon took so long to arrive, where else could he be if not far away in the capital?"
Jian Er was silent for a moment, then said frankly, "The prince told me before he left that I don't need to reveal too much to you! It will save you from unnecessary worry!"
"Now that enemies have sneaked in, how can I not worry about it?" Yu Jiuer raised her voice and clenched her fists, wanting to punch this idiot on the spot!
