"Let's go, Dad, Mom, and brother. Let's go to Tan County. As long as there are people providing disaster relief there, even if it's just porridge, we can survive. It's better than staying in Wuzhou and being killed by the officials above." Li Xiaoyun gritted his teeth and directly dismantled the wooden sticks on both sides of the straw hut. He didn't leave them with the Qian family. He made simple boards and dragged Li's father away from Wuzhou and rushed to Tan County.

Most of those who followed the Li family were desperate refugees who had nowhere else to go. In the snow, you could see some refugees falling down, while others kept moving forward.

Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San rode on horses, dragging Chen Lin, and ran for about half an hour before they caught up with the departing large group.

Li Hezhen and Wang Meng led the team in front.

When they heard the sound of horses, everyone turned around in fear at first. Seeing that there was only one horse, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Until they saw that it was Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San, everyone became happy.

Zhou Jiaojiao asked Chu San to go back and see Baoer first.

She stayed in front of the village chief, took out the medicine, and woke Shen Lin up.

"Hmm..." Chen Lin was still speechless. She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Jiaojiao glaring at her angrily.

Zhou Jiaojiao ignored her emotions and said directly: "Hurry up and take out everyone's carts."

Shen Lin wanted to refuse, but all the strong men in the village surrounded her, looking at her with clenched fists. The meaning was very clear: if she didn't give it to her, they would just beat her up.

Chen Lin was so angry that she could only choose to protect herself. She took out the cart and other things, as well as some horses, which were stolen from the provincial capital. After all, the families of Yang Zhizhou and the co-zhi in Wuzhou had a lot of livestock, especially the horses in the provincial capital's horse farm, which were precious things. If she was not afraid of alarming the Wuzhou garrison, Zhou Jiaojiao would have wanted to directly move out the horses in the garrison. At that time, not only would she solve the problem of not being caught up, but she would also have more means of transportation to escape.

After the things were taken out, Zhou Jiaojiao's carriage was also there. She directly called Chu San and the others to come over, caught the carriage and left quickly.

Just as Zhou Jiaojiao was about to get on the carriage, Shen Lin suddenly moved in front of her, her eyes wide open, a little shocked and a little resentful.

"What are you doing?" Chu San hugged Zhou Jiaojiao and moved to a place not far away, looking at her with a frown.

Shen Lin put her hanging hands to her neck, meaning that she was about to speak.

Zhou Jiaojiao thought for a moment and fed her the antidote. "What's the matter?"

"The jade in the box you gave me is fake. It's fake jade." Shen Lin's voice was hoarse and gloomy.

Zhou Jiaojiao wasn't surprised to see her discover it. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "How would I know the jade is fake? Besides, don't you have the silver? Could it be that you only want the jade and not the silver?"

Shen Lin was about to question her, but when she heard this, her brows jumped instantly, and she subconsciously said: "No, I want the silver too."

She was afraid that Zhou Jiaojiao would discover her secret.

"Yes, in that case, if I give you the money, it won't be considered as cheating you. It's so much, I don't know how many people can earn it in their entire lives, and you are still not satisfied?" Zhou Jiaojiao asked back.

Shen Lin felt very aggrieved, especially because she had something to say: "But your jade is indeed fake."

"But I don't know if it's fake, and I don't have the time to tell the real thing. You're really weird. You actually care about jade... Although jade is good, gold and silver are not bad in troubled times. Jade has to be sold to turn into silver, so it's not as useful as gold and silver... You can't be..." Zhou Jiaojiao looked at her with suspicion.

Shen Lin didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of being exposed, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay, this is the reward for this time!"

Zhou Jiaojiao asked Chu San to feed her a mute potion, then she got on the carriage and started to leave.

Chen Lin didn't notice that the conversation between the two was heard by the villagers. Naturally, the news could not be concealed. In an instant, many people knew that she had a lot of silver on her.

Although people had suspected it before, Shen Lin had always denied it and only said that she had food. In addition, it was always taken out and consumed, so everyone's attention was not focused on the huge amount of silver she had.

But this time Shen Lin herself revealed that there was a box!

A box of silver.

How much money would that cost? Some people couldn't help but look at Shen Lin from time to time, trying to figure it out, and the gazes of the Zhao family were the most obvious.

After getting the carriage, Zhou Jiaojiao felt warm all over. She fed Baoer and coaxed him to sleep. While sitting in the carriage, she took out a pair of hand-warming gloves and gave them to the coachman Chu San.

There is also frostbite ointment, which was made when we successfully left Wuzhou.

"The garrison of Yuzhou is ahead."

On the morning of the second day, everyone arrived at the junction of the two provincial capitals, and everyone lined up waiting for Li Hezhen in front to talk with the Yuzhou garrison.

"These are our travel passes, and they are for traveling to Youzhou." Li Hezhen handed the travel passes to the soldier on duty. After the other party checked them, he asked where they came from, as well as the procedures for stamping along the way to other prefectures.

"Okay, you can go ahead." The garrison in Yuzhou did not make it too difficult.

Even Li Hezhen was a little surprised.

As if sensing Li Hezhen's expression, the soldier on duty snorted coldly, "Do you think Yuzhou is going to exploit you fleeing refugees like other provinces?"

Li Hezhen didn't say anything. No matter what he said at this time, it would be wrong.

The soldier on duty narrowed his eyes and said, "Our state capital is different from Wuzhou. In short, you just have to follow the rules. If you act recklessly in the city, even if you are of good status, you will be arrested."

He was obviously talking to Li Hezhen. Although he had been kicked out of the family, the news had not spread and the information could still be seen from the household registration.

Li Hezhen bowed and said, "Thank you very much, brother."

"Okay, let's go."

Li Hezhen nodded when he heard this, turned around and waved to the team behind him, and soon the large team entered the territory of Yuzhou.

At this time, the Wuzhou government office was in chaos. When Yang Zhizhou and Tongzhi were weakly pulled out of bed by their subordinates, they learned that all the food in the granary was gone, and even the horse-drawn carriages loaded with food had disappeared.

"What? Disappeared?" Yang Zhizhou's face instantly turned red with anger, and he looked like he was having a epileptic seizure. He almost fainted from anger. It was only after the housekeeper next to him quickly fed him a heart pill that he recovered.

When Yang Zhizhou and his deputy magistrate arrived at the granary and saw the situation clearly, the deputy magistrate almost fainted from tears: "It's over, Master Yang, we are finished. My family's grain and gold and silver have been stolen by someone unknown... Now there is no food in the granary. We have suffered a great loss..."

When Yang Zhizhou learned that his house had also been robbed, he fainted.
