Chapter 540: The Skinny Refugees
The few of them walked very quickly, and it was not until they were on their way back that Lu Qingqing opened the two boxes in the carriage.
Looking at the various small items thrown around randomly in the box, Lu Qingqing felt a little nervous.
My goodness, isn’t that the telescope she saw in the Yining store, priced at two thousand taels of silver!
Pressed underneath the telescope is an exquisitely crafted mirror.
Below that is an emerald green frog glass ornament.
And there’s that cup with a built-in straw that she loves!
And under the cup are two big watermelons.
Looking at the objects being lifted up from time to time as the carriage shook, Lu Qingqing's heart trembled violently.
Wow, this is all money!
She would feel sad if one of them broke.
For a moment, I didn't care about anything else and quickly sorted the things inside.
Fortunately, the people sent to Prince Huai’s palace were sent in two carriages.
Now, there were only her and Qin Lang in the carriage.
She turned the box over and put all the fragile items into the space.
When everything was packed up, Lu Qingqing made a silent decision while looking at the various small items placed on the shelves in the space.
After returning home, prepare some food with space water for Zhu Youhua.
Zhu Youhua likes spicy food, so you can give him more of the spicy diced rabbit meat prepared in the space.
In addition, you can also prepare some of the dried pork with plum blossoms and pickled vegetables pickled with space water.
As for the life-saving pills, prepare more and let the driver take them back when the time comes.
The group did not arrive in Yining County until the morning of the next day.
At this time, at the gate of Yining County, teams of soldiers were on guard with swords in hand.
Next to the soldiers was a long line of refugees.
Since Lu Qingqing came to King Huai's fiefdom, she hasn't seen anyone so thin for a long time.
The refugees lined up in the queue looked shriveled and skinny, as if all their energy had been sucked out.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is shocking that these people can stand.
Lu Qingqing looked at the huge crowd at the city gate, stood on the shaft of the cart and looked inside, hoping to see Aunt Zhang and the others.
Unfortunately, there were too many people at the city gate, and the queue was more than ten rows long.
Seeing this, Master Yan divided the team into two teams to look for people.
Normally, the soldiers here don't allow people to wander around in the ranks.
But as soon as the carriage stopped, the soldiers saw the big word "Huai" on the carriage flag.
Therefore, when Lu Qingqing and others were looking for people in the crowd, they did not drive them away.
Lu Qingqing walked through the crowd and came to the front, wanting to find Xu Wenshan.
At this time, Xu Wenshan was busy recording the name of the refugee in front of him.
Listening to the man's vague words, Xu Wenshan shouted to confirm several times before writing down the three words "Qu Laowu".
At this moment, the situation under the shed was like a steamer. He finished memorizing a person's information and just took a sip of water when he saw Lu Qingqing coming over.
He had met Lu Qingqing when he went to Baoshan Town for a drink before, and now he hurriedly greeted her:
"Miss Lu...Miss Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Qingqing told him about the situation of Aunt Zhang and the others, wanting him to help investigate.
After hearing this, Xu Wenshan hurriedly called over a soldier leader nearby and whispered a few words in the man's ear.
As soon as the soldier leader left, Xu Wenshan asked her to sit down.
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Li to go ask, and I think we'll get the news soon.
Miss Lu, please sit down and rest for a while. It's too hot today!"
Lu Qingqing sat down on the stool next to her and watched Xu Wenshan continue to register.
Soon, the leader of the soldiers came running over.
"found it!
The people you're asking about just entered the city this morning and are probably at the gate of the county government office now!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing thanked the two of them.
Xu Wenshan was worried that she would need help after entering, and was afraid that she didn't know who to ask, so he specifically told her that she could find Lord Qi from the county government.
After Lu Qingqing said goodbye to the two, she called out to Qin Lang and her master and mistress in the crowd and quickly drove the carriage into the city.
Under the shed, Lao Li watched the people walk away, then approached Xu Wenshan and said:
"Lao Xu, you can do it!
Now even the people in Prince Huai’s Palace know him!
If you become rich in the future, don’t forget me, Old Li!”
Xu Wenshan was a little confused when he heard this.
Lu Tianming was clearly working for Prince Huai's Mansion, but this little girl named Lu something, whose name he couldn't remember, was also involved with Prince Huai's Mansion?
Old Li saw the confusion on his face and said in surprise:
"You don't know, the little girl just got off the carriage from Prince Huai's palace.
I can see the big word "Huai" clearly!"
Xu Wenshan hurriedly stood on the table, stretched his head to look outside, and sure enough, he saw the carriage of Prince Huai's mansion driving away.
He ignored Lao Li's teasing and tried to digest the matter secretly.
After a while, he stroked his beard with some pride.
Xu Wenshan really has a good eye. He said there are capable people in this team, and there really are!
Fortunately, he got in touch with them.
In the future, he has to maintain this relationship.
Alas, I'm just too busy today and can't leave.
Otherwise, he should go in and help find someone.
On the other side, after Lu Qingqing and his group entered the city, they went straight to the county government office.
At this time, there was also a long queue in front of the county government office.
The procedures for household registration are much more complicated than registering at the city gate.
Even though everyone in the county government office came out to help, there were still many refugees gathered in front of the office gate.
Seeing the crowd at the door, Lu Qingqing asked the driver to wait outside the alley while she, Qin Lang, her master and his wife went in to look for someone.
It was very hot at the moment, and the officer in charge of maintaining order at the gate of the county government office was carrying a large bucket of water out.
Seeing this, the refugees in the queue wanted to move forward, but before they could take two steps, they were yelled at and scolded by the officers beside them.
The weather was already hot, and there were many people crowded here.
Even people with good tempers can become extremely irritated.
The police officers who were maintaining order patrolled with their swords in hand, shouting impatiently as they went around:
"Don't move, there's enough water here!
Anyone who dares to rush forward to grab it will have to queue up at the end!"
Next to them, Lu Qingqing and a few others rushed into the group of refugees, enduring the foul smell inside to look for someone.
