"Xiaotang, it's better for you to stay here. ￠￡,” Qi Younian disagreed when he heard Ji Xiaotang say he wanted to go to the county government with him. Although the official army he led had occupied Qingyuan, the safest place in Qingyuan County was the Ji family. As for other places, especially the county government, Qi Younian was worried that there would be thieves who would not clean up.

Moreover, the war has just ended, and the scene outside is obviously not very good. Qi Younian does not want Ji Xiaotang to see those bloody things.

However, Ji Xiaotang made up his mind.

"Ayou, I must go with you. I want to see the uncle of the Xie family." As far as she knows, County Magistrate Xie had put Mrs. Xie Huaijin under house arrest together. Now Xie Ziqian and Xie Huaijin have both died here, and Ji Xiaotang is worried about Mrs. Xie.

When he heard Ji Xiaotang say he was going to see Mrs. Xie, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er sighed.

"Ayou, Mr. Xie must not know about this. I know, maybe this will be a little embarrassed, but can you not implicate Mrs. Xie?" Mrs. Ji Er said tentatively.

Treason was a serious crime of raiding a family and extermination. Mrs. Ji Er didn't know that it was. However, she still couldn't help but plead with Qi Younian.

"I will continue to give you some kindness to Mrs. Xie." Qi Younian was very respectful to Mrs. Ji Er.

"Okay, that's good." Mrs. Ji Er nodded. She knew that this was the limit that Qi Younian could achieve within the power. As for Mrs. Xie's future, Mrs. Ji Er sighed deeply. "Xiaotang, when you see your uncle, please ask me. We all care about her. Tell her that Master Xie's actions have nothing to do with her, and I don't blame her."

"Okay, mom, I will definitely bring the words." Ji Xiaotang agreed.

Master Ji Er didn't say anything, but just looked at Ji Xiaotang deeply. He didn't believe that Ji Xiaotang was going to the county government now just to see Mrs. Xie. If he was worried about Mrs. Xie, he just wanted to ask Qi Younian.

When Ji Xiaotang went to the county government, there must be other important things. What is this important thing? Master Ji Er turned his head and looked at him lying next to him. Xie Huaijin, who had already used the best wound medicine to stop the blood, vaguely guessed it.

"You go." Master Ji Er said only three words to Ji Xiaotang.

"Dad, I'm a good person." Ji Xiaotang said softly, then turned around and walked out with Qi Younian.

...

The streets were a little chaotic. The officers who maintained order and cleaned up ruins and corpses could be seen everywhere. Before they arrived at the county government office, a group of people hurried over, for Ji Xiaotang knew all the people who were young and strong in the city.

When Zhang Ming saw Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang, he stood in the ceremony from afar. Then he led Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's personal soldiers to the front of Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang looked at Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming was in a very embarrassed body, and his arms and ribs were obviously injured.

"Kowtow to the third girl, the young man was ashamed of Master Ji Er. He was entangled by the thief and was unable to rush to rescue the Ji Mansion. The third girl was fine, and the villain was very happy. I don't know how the second master and the other people in the third girl's family were doing." Zhang Ming burst into tears as he said. This was because he felt guilty about the Ji family. They had promised Master Ji Er that once a thief attacked the Ji family, they would arrive immediately and swear to protect the Ji family to the death.

A man who was seven feet tall burst into tears in public, and this scene was touching.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stretched out his hand and asked Zhang Ming to get up. He didn't resent Zhang Ming and others. Who could care about the situation last night?∏∈,

"My family is all fine. There are many traitors, and we didn't expect that we would blame you." Ji Xiaotang said, and asked Zhang Ming. "Why didn't you see Wang Ding? Where is the old Shen family now? How are they all safe? What are the casualties of the victims?"

When Ji Xiaotang asked this, Zhang Ming almost burst into tears. He was a man with a strong temperament. Otherwise, he would not have been elected as the leader among the victims. He also fled all the way and had seen a lot of life and death. But like last night, he faced the bloody death directly, which was the first time in his life.

After hearing what Zhang Ming said with sobs, Ji Xiaotang also became silent.

The reason why Wang Ding was not with Zhang Ming was because Wang Ding died in the melee last night. Although the Shen family was mainly protected by the victims, Shen's youngest son and daughter-in-law did not escape the disaster last night. Shen's youngest grandson, Chen Yao and Shen Qi's younger brothers were also killed.

Mr. Shen was injured and was being treated, but he had no worries about his life.

As for the other victims, the situation was also very bad. Last night, while the Ji family was in chaos, the victims' shantytowns were also attacked inside and outside. It turned out that among the victims, in addition to those idle and unrighteous, they were automatically bandits, some were encouraged by interests.

Some of these people went to the Ji family, while the other part stayed in the shanty towns, working with the thieves outside, causing heavy damage to the victims. The shanty towns had been burned down by a fire, and 30 to 40% of the victims died, most of them were old and weak.

If Qi Younian and others had not restrained the elite thieves of the large number of thieves and beat Xie Ziqian several times, so that the large number of thieves could not get close to Qingyuan, I was afraid that the shanty towns and the entire Qingyuan would look different now.

"...They want us to rebel with them, saying that we are glorious and wealth..."

It turned out that the reason why Xie Ziqian controlled and attacked the victims was, on the one hand, to prevent them from rescuing the Ji family, and on the other hand, he wanted to take all these young and strong men under his command and be cannon fodder for their rebellion.

The victims of Shen, who were always helped by the Ji family, were grateful to the Ji family and did not have much resentment towards the court. They were not willing to bet on their own lives to rebel.

"Where are you going?" Ji Xiaotang sighed in his heart and asked Zhang Ming.

"The little one is about to go to the girl's mansion and kowtow to the second master." Zhang Ming wiped his tears and replied. He wanted to see Mr. Ji's family safe with his own eyes, and to come to the door to apologize.

"This matter is not urgent. You should go back first and lead everyone to settle all the villagers......I will send you the food, clothing, medicine, etc. later." Ji Xiaotang said.

Zhang Ming knelt down again with a plop, and even the people behind him knelt down.

"I deeply feel the great kindness of the girl and the Ji family! But the girl's family has also suffered. At this time, I really can't make the girl's family so embarrassed."

The Ji family experienced a loot last night, and after the disaster, they must have damaged their vitality. Now the family is afraid that before they can breathe a sigh of relief, they think about helping them again, and they think so thoughtful. Zhang Ming and others cannot help but be moved.

"Now there will naturally be many inconveniences, and we just do our best." Ji Xiaotang said.

"The government will deal with the settlement of these two natural disaster victims." Qi Younian said, and arranged a small team of people to follow Zhang Ming to settle the settlement in the shanty town.

After that, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian continued to move forward and soon arrived at the county government office.

There were official guards at the county yamen. When a hundred households in the leading position saw that Qi Younian had arrived, they hurriedly came up to salute and reported to Qi Younian about the situation in the county yamen.∮, all the bandits in the county yamen had been wiped out. As for other county yamen, and those who served in the back yamen, they were all detained.

"Madam Xie..." Ji Xiaotang was worried about Madam Xie in his heart, so he spoke and reminded him.

"Where is Mrs. Xie?" Qi Younian asked the hundred households.

"Just about to report this to the commander, my subordinates are incompetent..." Baihu saw that Qi Younian asked about Mrs. Xie and looked solemn, he was a little frightened. "Mrs. Xie committed suicide. When his subordinates brought their people to arrive, Mrs. Xie committed suicide."

"What?" Ji Xiaotang exclaimed.

"I know that Mrs. Xie's identity is important, so I have arranged for the treatment of the military doctor. But... Mrs. Xie is seriously injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive." The hundred households were also smart. Without waiting for Qi Younian to ask more details, they quickly told them all.

"Lead ahead and take us to see Mrs. Xie." Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang, and it was difficult to hold Ji Xiaotang's hand in front of the soldiers. He could only use his eyes to convey his comfort. While letting the hundred households lead the way in person, he took Ji Xiaotang directly into the Houya and came to the house where Mrs. Xie was temporarily placed.

Mrs. Xie was actually placed in the small Buddhist temple in the Houya. Not only was the place narrow and the lighting was not good, and there was only a brazier inside for heating.

Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, and Qi Younian frowned as well.

"Report to the commander, when his subordinates brought people here, Mrs. Xie was in this Buddhist temple. Mrs. Xie was seriously injured and could not move."

Qi Younian nodded. In this case, we cannot blame these Baihu and the soldiers.

"Get another basin of fire," Qi Younian ordered.

Baihu agreed and went on to make arrangements in person. At this time, Ji Xiaotang had already stepped into the Buddhist temple and headed straight to the low couch next to the small window. Mrs. Xie was lying on the low couch, her head was loose and her body was covered with a quilt.

Qi Younian hurriedly followed Ji Xiaotang into the Buddhist temple.

There was a doctor guarding the bed in front of the short couch. Seeing this, he hurriedly avoided Ji Xiaotang and saluted Qi Younian while saluting him.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Xie?" Qi Younian asked in a low voice.

The doctor shook his head.

"If you have something to ask Mrs. Xie, please ask now."

Ji Xiaotang had arrived at Mrs. Xie's bed at this moment, and she naturally heard the doctor's words.

"Uncle, I'm here to see you." Ji Xiaotang covered the sadness on his face, stepped forward and held one of Mrs. Xie's hand, and called gently.

Mrs. Xie opened her eyes quickly and saw Ji Xiaotang. Mrs. Xie showed a surprise expression on her face, as if she was about to sit up. Ji Xiaotang hurriedly pressed Mrs. Xie gently to prevent her from getting up. She had heard that Mrs. Xie's injuries were on the abdomen, and because she did not stab the center, she could support her until now.

"Xiaotang, it's you, it's you." Mrs. Xie's tone was no longer as clear as before, but to Ji Xiaotang, she was still as warm as a relative.

"It's me, aunt." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"You can still come to see me..." Mrs. Xie said guiltily.

"Uncle, my mother can't take off for the time being, so let me send a message to you. We and I are still the same as before." Ji Xiaotang said immediately. What she saw was not Xie Ziqian, the culprit who harmed her. Mrs. Xie is innocent, and, after all, she is also a poor woman.

At the last moment of this poor woman, Ji Xiaotang didn't want to put any burden on her heart.

"Is that true?" Mrs. Xie smiled, "Your mother has always been broad and generous, and it's worth it. We have always been so good. But I still feel ashamed of your mother, ashamed of you. Xiaotang, are your family... all good?"

Mrs. Xie asked this question carefully, as if she was afraid of hearing an answer that she didn't want to hear.

"Don't worry, my aunt, our family is fine."

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Xie's smile became even bigger, she let go of the burden in her heart and smiled relievedly. "I couldn't show up earlier... If I could show up earlier, maybe..."

"Uncle," Ji Xiaotang saw that Mrs. Xie's eyes were a little distracted. He knew that she was about to fail, so he hurriedly looked at the side. Just now, the hundred households had put another brazier in the house, and then went out. The guards were all outside, except Mrs. Xie, and only she and Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang cannot let Qi Younian go out, she is destined to have a gamble in this matter.

"Ayou, please help me move the brazier closer. My aunt is a little cold." Ji Xiaotang said to Qi Younian.

Qi Younian immediately agreed and moved the brazier to Ji Xiaotang.

"Uncle, the family tree that Uncle Xie said..." Ji Xiaotang leaned down and asked in a low voice in Mrs. Xie's ear.

"Oh..." Mrs. Xie was a little surprised, but she was also a smart person, so she immediately understood. Her eyes that were already a little dim lit up.

Ji Xiaotang saw Mrs. Xie's reaction clearly and was also happy. Mrs. Xie should have known the whereabouts of the Xie family tree.

"Good kid, I'll entrust you to you..." Mrs. Xie said slowly, fumbled on her body with one hand. When Ji Xiaotang saw it, she immediately understood and reached out to help.

It turned out that after Xie Ziqian and Xie Huaijin had a showdown, they knew that they would definitely not be able to hide it from Mrs. Xie, so they put Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin under house arrest. Xie Ziqian also tried to convince Mrs. Xie to come to the small Buddhist temple. In order to prove that what he said was true, he took out the Xie family tree he had been secretly hiding for Mrs. Xie to read it.

Mrs. Xie was not convinced by Xie Ziqian, but Xie Ziqian was very confident. It would only take a while for the mother and son to obey him. After all, after years of relationships, with the wealth and glory of the sky, Xie Ziqian did not think that anyone in this world could refuse.

Therefore, Xie Ziqian led people to take charge of the matter and left his family tree with Mrs. Xie. The Qingyuan chaos was in chaos, and the safest place was the county government office. The safest place in the county government office was Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie also knew from Xie Ziqian's words that he took people to deal with the Ji family. In the small Buddhist temple, Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin were unable to feel at ease. It was Mrs. Xie who used a trick to deceive the guards left by Xie Ziqian, and asked Xie Huaijin to escape from the small Buddhist temple and rushed to the Ji family to rescue Ji Xiaotang and the Ji family.

When the officers and soldiers rushed into the county government, Mrs. Xie found a brief opinion herself.

"I know I can't live anymore, I want to die more decently. Moreover, I have no shame to see you again." Mrs. Xie called the family tree to Ji Xiaotang and said in a low voice.

It turns out that like Xie Huaijin, she has long been determined to die.

Mrs. Xie also understood the significance of the family tree in her hand. However, when Ji Xiaotang said she wanted it, she took it out without hesitation because she firmly believed that Ji Xiaotang would not harm her or Xie Huaijin.

Ji Xiaotang took the genealogy in his hand and hurriedly looked through it twice. This genealogy was obviously passed down from a long time ago, and it was as Xie Huaijin said to her and Master Ji Er.
To be continued...
