Ji Fengshou said modestly, "It's nothing. I was just lucky enough to make friends with Prince Ping and his son. You've also met Princess Ping, haven't you? She's the one Yue Niang was carrying on her back the day she came back for dinner."
Zhou Yidao took a deep breath: "You only said it was Yue Niang's superior, but you didn't say it was the princess!"
Ji Fengshou waved his hand nonchalantly: "What does it matter? The princess is nothing special. She is just like us, with two eyes and one mouth."
There's nothing wrong with this...
After thinking about it, Zhou's uncles accepted it instantly.
That’s it!
No difference!
At the city gate, household registration and vehicle checks began in an orderly manner.
All the people in the shelter timidly gathered around the carriage, which soon attracted the attention of the garrison.
The person on duty today is still an acquaintance, Zheng Qijin.
Ji Changying was the first to jump off the carriage: "Uncle Zheng!"
Zheng Qijin looked at her in surprise: "So it's you? Are you the one who brought these people with you?"
Ji Fengshou lifted the car curtain and said, "Isn't this Brother Zheng? Are you on duty again today?"
Zheng Qijin smiled when he saw the people: "Where have you two been? Why did you bring back so many people?"
Ji Changying handed him the badge in her hand and said, "I just went out to do some work and rescued some people. I was just about to go to the county government office to explain the situation to you!"
Zheng Qijin's expression immediately turned solemn and respectful when he saw the badge: "Please come in, both of you!"
Then he shouted to the guards at the city gate: "Let them pass!"
Ji Fengshou said with a smile, "I'll come back to drink with you in a couple of days. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Zheng Qijin only felt like joking when he saw Ji Changying retract her badge: "Don't, you're such a busy man, you still have to deliver goods! Our child's charcoal pencils are running low. Can you send some more when you have time?"
Ji Fengshou clapped his hands and said, "No problem! I'll get someone to deliver it to you when I get back!"
Zheng Qijin bowed and said, "Thank you very much."
"Hey~ Brothers, why are you being so polite when we're not talking about this?"
As they were talking, people had already entered the city one after another. Seeing this, Ji Fengshou stopped chatting, said hello to Zheng Qijin, and followed them into the city.
Zheng Qijin's police officer came over and nodded at Ji Changying and the others with his chin: "Boss, what are these people doing? They brought so many people into the city without any inspection?"
Zheng Qijin snorted, "Keep your eyes peeled! This father and daughter are no ordinary couple. They're holding the royal palace badge! Forget about Gan County, even if they were running around in Liangzhou, who would dare to stop them?"
The police officer shrank his neck and said, "I've made a note of that."
——
The people in the shelter were nervous and anxious about entering the city. Once they entered, they felt like their eyes were not enough to see.
"Oh my god! I never thought I'd be able to go to the city in my lifetime!"
"The city is really lively. What's that over there? It's really beautiful!"
"Wow, wow, wow... I can actually enter the city openly..."
After entering the city, the group of people were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins. They kept talking to each other, looking around curiously, and touching things here and there.
The vendors on both sides were greeting me warmly, but when they heard I had no money to buy, their faces immediately changed: "Country bumpkin! Why are you touching me when you have no money?! Get out of my way!"
In a short while, the whole street became chaotic.
Ji Changying's forehead was bulging with veins: "Whoever dares to run around or move around again, get out of here!"
She stood on the carriage, pointing an iron rod at them with a cold expression on her face. Only then did the people in the Shelter Village remember that the person in front of them was a female evil star!
Zhou Yidao also looked at them with a sullen face: "Whoever doesn't obey will no longer be allowed to follow."
As soon as these words were spoken, he immediately became honest.
Ji Changying snorted before turning around and getting into the car.
I asked my second uncle to speed up and we arrived at the county government office soon.
Seeing that Damen Zhou Yidao's eyes were wandering, he felt inexplicably guilty when he saw government officials ever since he had been a bandit.
Ji Changying got out of the car and walked inside as if he knew the way, and he had no obstructions all the way with his badge.
The Zhou family's uncles were very surprised. The Ji family was exiled here, so how come they looked more comfortable than in Qingzhou?
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it if I couldn't figure it out.
Ji Fengshou was also very familiar with the place and greeted everyone along the way from the gate as he entered.
Ji Changying glanced at the county government office and went straight to the hall where Wang Ziru worked.
The household official was holding the account book with a gloomy face. "Sir, the price of grain seeds has increased several times this year. The county government has almost no stock left, and the prices at other grain stores are still high. If this continues, the people will not be able to plant anything this year, and our tax revenue will be disastrous!"
Wang Ziru frowned and asked, "What are the prices of grain seeds in other places?"
Si Hu shook his head. "Because of last year's flood, the price of grain has almost doubled this year. Some grain stores have a lot of stock, but merchants are profit-driven and are waiting for a higher price. I'm afraid it's difficult to negotiate the price."
Wang Ziru was thinking about countermeasures when the guards outside came to report: "Mr. Ji's niece wants to discuss something with you, sir. Would you like to see her?"
Wang Ziru was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Mr. Ji’s niece? That’s Ji Changying!
"See you!" Wang Ziru responded decisively.
The guards outside turned around and walked out of the yard, inviting Ji Changying and the others in.
As soon as he entered the room, Ji Changying looked at Wang Ziru enthusiastically: "Long time no see, Lord Wang! How is your wife doing recently? Is you busy with work?"
Wang Ziru's mouth twitched: "Madam is doing well, I'm not busy."
Ji Fengshou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I didn't expect that Lord Sihu would be here too! Oh, isn't this a coincidence!"
When Si Hu heard the polite words between the father and daughter, he had a bad feeling in his heart: "What are you doing...?"
He glanced at the Zhou family members behind Ji Changying and asked hesitantly.
After all, they were not strangers, and Ji Changying brought everyone with him without hiding anything, so he told them what had happened.
"Those two survivors have already been taken to the government office by Xie Siheng, but I think these people should be brought back for your inspection, sir."
Wang Ziru glanced at the Zhou family in surprise: "Escaped and lost your household registration?"
Zhou Yidao's face darkened as he recalled what happened before: "To be precise, our luggage and household registration were robbed. If my daughter hadn't been here, we wouldn't know where to go."
The Registrar of Households seemed to be lost in thought. "The flood in Qingzhou has been reported to the imperial court. As far as I know, reconstruction is already underway there. If you return to your original place of origin, the government will take care of your resettlement. You only need to complete your household registration. Why do you stay here?"
Zhou Yidao sighed, "My Zhou family originally fled to Qingzhou to escape famine. We relied on our pig-killing skills to gain a foothold there. For me, home is where my children are. If they can stay here, that's the best. If they can't... we can only return."
Ji Changying frowned at Lord Wang and said, "Just tell me if this can be done!"
