The whole family had lost hope, but they didn't expect this sudden surprise.
"Really? We don't have to do hard labor?" Ji Fengshou couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted a little excitedly.
"What? No need to do hard labor?" No one would be unexcited when hearing this.
"What does 'good harvest' mean?" The person next to him couldn't suppress the joy on his face, took a deep breath and asked calmly.
Seeing everyone in the clan looking at their family, Ji Changying stood up and said, "Didn't I help the government office in Tongzhou before? The governor asked someone to take care of me. I just asked, and we should be resettled in the village, not assigned to do hard labor."
"Goddess of Heaven! May our ancestors bless us! May our ancestors bless us!"
Grandma Wang clasped her hands together and kowtowed fourteen times.
The patriarch burst into tears: "Feng Yi! Hurry and put your parents here. We will pay our respects to them."
Ji Fengyi: “...there is really no need to do this..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up, hurry up!" It was the first time that the patriarch said such "unpleasant" words to Ji Fengyi, and he kept urging him.
When Ji Fengshou saw this, he was like, "Oh! What else can I say?"
Let them worship if they like!
He placed his parents in the position indicated by the clan leader. The clan leader led Ji Shi to bow as if holding incense, muttering to himself: "Your family is now successful. You are both civil and martial, and can lead the clan members to a good life. It is all thanks to you watching from below..."
Ji Changying's whole family looked at them with complicated expressions.
The days of waiting are always particularly difficult to endure.
By the afternoon of the next day, all the formalities were completed, and Zhang Ziwei came to say goodbye with a group of yamen runners.
"Brother Ji, we are going back to Beijing soon. I have already handed over your household registration to the people here."
Zhang Ziwei looked around and whispered, "You guys are really lucky. You weren't made slaves, nor were you sent to build city walls or canals. It seems like you were assigned to the village."
Ji Fengshou was ecstatic: "Are you sure?"
"What do you think? We all saw it during the handover just now. I hope we can meet again in the future. I believe that everything will get better and better for you."
Before leaving, Zhang Ziwei felt that Ji Shi might be able to rise again in the future! He suddenly gained more confidence.
"Thank you for your kind words! Let's get together again when there's a chance!"
Ji Fengshou waved goodbye to them across the fence with a look of reluctance on his face.
Not long after Zhang Ziwei left, the household officer came over to call the roll.
After confirming the number of people, the household registration officer closed the booklet and said, "You're lucky to be assigned to Gan County. There's plenty of land there. Take your household registration there and someone will naturally arrange for you to settle down. It's getting late, so hurry up and set off!"
According to Si Hu, the journey to Gan County can be completed in one day if one walks fast.
Considering that it was getting late, the patriarch begged to stay in prison for one more night and continue his journey tomorrow.
The next day, when they were released from the cell, they found that all the bandit horses and carts they had seized from the mine were gone.
Fortunately, the food and cloth were returned.
The Ji clan members looked at each other in bewilderment, and the clan leader gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
The current result is already pretty good. Do I really have to go up and argue with them?
Ji Fengshou didn't move when he saw the things placed in front of him.
There were so many things in the mule cart, but only half of them were left.
The family's mule cart, mules, and the black horse, all the big items were also confiscated.
Those items were not only the most valuable assets in the family so far, but also the starting point for him to reach the peak of his life.
Now it's all gone.
Reason told Ji Fengshou that it was time to leave, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground. He stared at the bundle thrown out of the mule cart on the ground without moving.
Ji Changying and Ji Fengshou, father and daughter, stared at the things on the ground without moving. The others sighed and picked up the things on the ground.
Zhou just looked around and asked, "Where's our car?"
Ji Changying pointed in a direction: "Over there."
Mrs. Hu's expression changed: "Stop talking nonsense! We should leave."
After she finished speaking, she pushed Ji Fengshou, signaling him to be more sensible and not mess around with the child.
result……
"Mother! I'll go ride the horse and you take the mule, and we'll get our things back!"
For the first time, Ji Changying ignored Hu's words.
"Okay, let's go!" After hearing this, Zhou went in the direction Ji Changying pointed without hesitation.
Mrs. Hu stamped her feet in anger: "Come back quickly! What if you two start a fight?"
Ji Changying said without even turning her head: "Just don't hold us back, get out of here as quickly as possible and walk as far as possible, we will catch up with you later."
Ji Fengshou was ecstatic: "Did you hear that? Don't hold us back, let's go first!"
He quickly took the things on Zhou's back, said a word, and ran out with the clan leader and others.
Mrs. Hu looked in front and then here: "What kind of parents do you think you are?"
Not reliable at all!
Ji Fengyi said seriously: "My lady, let's take this opportunity to leave quickly. If someone catches up with us later, we won't be able to defeat them."
Mrs. Hu angrily carried her things and walked out the door: "Alright! You can do whatever you want!"
Ji Changying walked very slowly with Zhou, and only took action after seeing that all of Ji's people had left.
At this moment, the black horse was in the stable in the backyard of the government office, and a group of people were drooling over it.
"I never thought I could get such a good horse. I'm so lucky!"
"Yes, it looks a bit unusual. I heard it was obtained from the exiles. It's strange, how could such a good horse be in their hands!"
"Strange things happen every year! The higher-ups even specifically told us to take good care of them! All their belongings have been returned, otherwise there would be more than just these horses..."
According to convention, everything is theirs once they get here, so there is no reason to take it back!
It's a pity that this horse is a bit fierce. You can only look at it but not touch it. It wants to kick you if you get close to it.
"The mule cart is over there, do you see it?" Ji Changying glanced at the people over there whose attention was all on the black horse, pointed at the mule and asked Zhou quietly.
"Yeah!" Zhou couldn't help but answer in a low voice when she heard her lower her voice.
"Go and get the mule now. Once you've got it, just keep walking. I'll be right behind you on my black horse. Run fast and don't look back, okay?"
After getting Zhou's affirmative answer, Ji Changying put on a malicious smile.
The mental power silently untied the reins of all the horses in the backyard and the training ground.
Seeing Zhou reaching the mule cart, she swaggered towards the black horse.
A group of people were gathered in front of Ma Peng to comment on the dark horse, when they suddenly felt someone push them away.
Turning around and seeing it was a little girl, the groom had a puzzled expression on his face: "Who are you? Little girl, this is not the place for you to play."
Ji Changying rolled her eyes, pushed them aside and walked straight towards the black horse.
"Hey, hey, hey! I can't go! This horse kicks people!"
