The county magistrate is dead.
The next most important thing is to rescue the women and children who have been trafficked.
Unexpectedly, most of the people abducted were from the city. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. This county magistrate is really shameless.
"I have a map of the entire county governor's mansion when it was built. There is a tunnel next door leading to the outside. The women and children who were abducted are in the basement of the next courtyard."
Butler Su looked at Su Mibao.
In such a short time, Butler Su was able to figure out so many things. It seems that his disabled son-in-law has really worked hard and done a lot of work over the years.
"Butler Su, Qiu Shu will take you to find those children first. We will be there soon."
Steward Su nodded, "Qiu Leng is here too. I met her outside the County Magistrate's Mansion. Ever since Young Master Feng and Qiu Shu disappeared, Qiu Leng has been looking for them. After asking around, she learned that it might be related to the County Magistrate's Mansion. She has been wandering around outside the County Magistrate's Mansion these past two days, but she just can't get in."
Butler Su looked at Qiu Shu,
"I brought Qiu Leng into the County Magistrate's Mansion through the tunnel. She went to the next courtyard to check on you. I came to this courtyard to kill the County Magistrate. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Su Mibao was very happy when he heard Qiu Leng had also come in.
Qiu Leng and Butler Su are both good at martial arts, and they are familiar with the tunnel, so she doesn't have to worry for the time being.
Butler Su took Qiu Shu away and went next door.
Su Mibao patted Su Jiu with her little hand, "Come on, Jiu, let's go to Zero Yuan Shopping."
The county governor is the left prime minister's man, so there must be a lot of good things in this mansion. Besides, the things in her space are disposable now, and the less they are used, the less they are. To bring so many people to live in the northern border, Su Mibao will not miss any opportunity to buy for free.
Half an hour later, after Su Mibao and Su Jiu had completed the entire County Magistrate's Mansion, they followed Butler Su out of the tunnel.
Several people watched the rescued women and children leave, and they had to leave the yard quickly.
After all, the county magistrate was killed, and the truth would spread within a day and a half. By then, the whole city would have to be under martial law.
The right thing to do is to leave the city as soon as possible.
Su Mibao didn't expect that housekeeper Su's son-in-law was the owner of this courtyard. He had a disfigured face, one blind eye, and a lame leg.
"Dad, you should follow the master. In my condition, no one would think that the death of the county governor would be related to a disabled person like me. Besides, Ah Xiang and the child, as well as my parents, have been dead for so many years. I have lived a lot of life in these years."
Butler Su's son-in-law is called Lu Dashan, and he refuses to leave with Butler Su no matter what.
Lu Dashan, [No matter how much my father-in-law is valued by the master, he is still just a servant. Or an exiled prisoner. If a disabled person like me follows him, not only can I not fulfill my filial piety, but I can only be a burden.]
"Dashan, you have to follow Dad. Dad can't leave you here to die alone."
Butler Su became anxious, and this old man who never showed his emotions actually shed tears.
"Dad, my legs and feet are not good. The road to the northern border is long, so I won't go."
As he said this, Lu Dashan felt uncomfortable. [Now the world is in disaster, and every family is fleeing. I am a useless person. How can I take food from my father-in-law?]
Su Mibao felt sad.
She had long regarded Butler Su as a relative.
"Follow, go."
Sumibao's baby tone.
"Well, Dashan, if the young lady asks you to follow me, then you should follow me. If you don't go, how can I go alone? You are the only relative I have left in this world."
Father-in-law's tears.
Especially the last sentence of my father-in-law.
Lu Dashan shed tears and nodded. Yes, he would follow the Su family to the northern border. As long as he still had his hands and could do carpentry work, he could earn food and take care of his father-in-law until his death.
The group left the courtyard, and Qiu Leng went to find her father and Nanny Lu. Steward Su asked Lu Dashan to take Qiu Shu and others out of the city quickly.
When they got to a quiet place nearby, Su Mibao took out food, clothes, bedding, etc. from the space. The two of them guarded the things while Butler Su went to find Su Chengyi.
After a while, Butler Su and Su Chengyi came over pulling a carriage.
Su Chengyi bought a large carriage and everyone loaded their things into it.
Su Chengyi took over holding Su Mibao, while Su Jiu and Butler Su pulled the carriage and headed out of the city.
Everyone had horses, so they decided to buy carriages to assemble into a carriage when they went into the city. But they still didn't dare to lead the horses directly into the city.
Those horses were fat and strong, too eye-catching. I was afraid they would be snatched away by someone with ulterior motives.
Everyone went into the city to buy a carriage, bought some things, put them in, and the two of them pulled it back.
After all, the people who come here are young and energetic, and they don’t buy much.
The carriage bought by Su Mibao's family is large, and it holds the most and heaviest things. But when Su Jiu pulls it, it is as easy as pulling a small toy car.
The group reunited, some bought what they wanted as agreed, and some didn't.
Although everyone had thought about natural disasters and price increases in advance, they did not expect that prices in Yudong County would be so high. The silver everyone collected could not buy the things they originally thought of. They could only buy two-thirds of the amount.
"Hurry up, let's get out of the city."
Wang Changling was a little worried.
There were many women in his family, and the further north they went, the colder it got. They didn't bring any thick clothes.
After experiencing the robbery by the bandits in Taohua Village, although under the protection of Wang Xiaoxiao and her daughter, their family members survived except for the woman from the second room who was robbed, but all their money was robbed.
Especially Wang Yi, the jewelry she brought out from the palace.
She took them out to save people at that time.
Not only were Wang Yanyu's belongings stolen, but even the car itself was taken away.
The women in the Wang family had all been in jail and had their bodies searched.
After all, there isn't much you can hide on your body.
This time when they went into the city, the whole family took out all the jewelry and money they had hidden and gave them to Wang Changling.
Wang Changling first went to the pawn shop to sell his jewelry. He had never done this before and was cheated by the pawnshop owner. He only got 120 taels of silver in total.
Well, you can't say the shopkeeper doesn't know the value of things. It was also a disaster year, many people pawned their things, and the things were not valuable.
If we use this money to buy food, we won't be able to buy thick clothes for each woman in the family, let alone a carriage.
He was hesitating whether to buy the broken cart pulled by the firewood vendor nearby.
The firewood vendor asked for ten taels of silver for a broken cart, not a cent less.
Suddenly, there was a drumbeat in the distance.
"Why are you beating the drums in broad daylight? What happened?"
The common people ran towards the yamen, all wanting to watch the excitement.
Steward Su and Su Jiu looked at each other and said, "Let's get out of the city quickly."
Butler Su waved his hand and told everyone to leave quickly.
Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, they all knew their identities. They were exiled prisoners. Something was happening in the city at this time, which would not be friendly to them, so the best thing to do was to leave quickly.
