The group said as they came here. The leader looked at the blue brick house over there and looked at the adobe house here. After thinking about it, he still chose the adobe house.

The young man next to him was about to ask, "Why don't you go to the blue brick house?" He was stared at by the leader and had no choice but to suppress his doubts in his heart.

The group of people were also very cautious. When they entered the adobe house, they did not burn fire, and used the moonlight to chew dry food. They talked about gossip women and had no useful information at all.

When the person next door fell asleep, Qingyun and Bai Yanheng came down from the roof and narrowed against the wall.

When it was almost dawn, Bai Yi and the others came back. The night covered all the clues, and Bai Yi and the others did not find where they came out.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows, Luo Mengshan was full of secrets!

"Don't alert the snakes first, see what they want to do. Let's keep an eye on them these days. Notify Daliang and let them train their own troops without waiting for us." Qingyun said to Captain Bai beside him.

Bai Yanheng looked at Bai Shi, nodded, Bai Shi shook and disappeared into the house.

When Qingyun and the others heard the group next door get up, they also opened their eyes, gnawed the dry food, and looked for a place to hide.

Not long after hiding, a group of people next door finished chewing dry food and packed up to leave the village. The leader glanced at the blue brick house and suddenly walked in.

The group of people who came with him looked at each other for no reason, but couldn't guess what he was thinking, so they followed in.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing. You can take people around the village to see if there are any survivors?"

The leader said while walking around the house, not seeing anything, his eyes circling on the beam of the house, then found a ladder, put it on the beam, climbed up the ladder and looked up, but there was still nothing.

The leader scratched his head in confusion, maybe he felt wrong.

The group wandered around the village for most of the day, but found nothing before leaving the village.

Qingyun thought to himself, the one who leads is quite alert!

The group of people walked forward, Qingyun and his group followed.

The group of them had no purpose and wandered around the mountains. From their previous words, they learned that this group of people was here to inquire about Daliang and the others.

After all, this group of people is not professional, so they cannot inform the clues around them, find out the location of Tian Duoliao and others, and they are wandering around the mountain. After four or five days, they found nothing.

"Did that group of people have already run away? They can't run away, and they haven't seen the ghosts. If you continue to search like this, when will you find them?" I complained with boredom.

The leader was also upset. Seeing that the brothers were bored, he said patiently: "What are you shouting? I'll look for a few more days. If you can't find it, go back first."

The group searched for a few days, and the direction they were looking for was the opposite of Tian Duoliang and the others. How could they find it?

Without finding anything, the group returned to the village cursing and cursing. I don’t know what the leader was thinking, but this time they didn’t stay in the adobe house and moved into the blue brick house. Qingyun and the others went to the adobe house next door and spent the whole night.

The next morning, they left the village and headed up the mountain.

As soon as the group left the village, Qingyun and the others immediately followed and entered the mountain.

After climbing over two hills, they saw them coming to a more hidden mountain wall, and opened the dense vines on the mountain wall, revealing a half-person-high hole. Then they bent down and drilled in, and then restored the vines on the mountain wall to their original state.

Qingyun and others looked at each other and also got into the cave.

A village, a village chief’s house

"Did you ask? Who are they?" The middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the main hall was the village chief of this village, and glanced at everyone in the room.

"I asked, there was a severe drought in the south, and all the people fled from the south." said the man sitting on the left hand side of the lower head.

"It's been more than a year of severe drought, why are you fleeing now? No refugees have been accepted in various prefectures, counties and prefectures?" the village chief said lightly.

"In the last few months of the severe drought, villagers from the county government, whose drought is the worst, fled first, and villages near the river stayed. Who would have thought that the severe drought would last for so long? It seems that the situation could continue to drought.

Many rivers have also become drought this year, so they have to escape famine. The prefectures, counties and governments in various places accepted some refugees last year, but refused to accept them all this year. I don’t know which unethical official said that our land is vast and sparsely populated, and the bandits are fertile, so refugees fled here.”

It's cheaper for them.

"Are there any fat sheep?" the village chief asked again.

"Yes, I have plundered a lot of good things. Among them, an old man named Guan, who is a mogul, fleeing and a convoy guard. They are also unlucky and fell into our hands. If we walk from other roads, we may have missed it. The convoy has loaded a lot of good things, cloth, medicinal materials, gold and silver and other utensils, which are all cheaper."

Several big men laughed.

They robbed for several years but couldn't make so much money.

"Why are the officials who are surnamed escaped here? There are so many prosperous prefectures and counties outside, why not go north?" The villagers thought for a while, but they still thought it was abnormal. They took so many things on the road and their homes were empty!

"After the trial, I can't go to the north, so the road is closed. They were originally going to Jinlan, and there were their relatives there. They brought too many things and were all valuable. They were worried that they would be detained by the government along the way, so they were mixed with the refugees. Who would have thought that the refugees would turn to us and fall into the Mengshan Mountain and smashed us into our hands, so we should make a fortune."

"Ask carefully, are there any people in my hometown? If you still have family backgrounds in my hometown, please treat them well and ask them to write a letter to redeem them with the money.

We are serious businessmen, the most honest, and we will release the people immediately after receiving the money. Other refugees searched for them and sent them all to work. The village does not raise useless people."

.............

There is no idea how many people are locked in the dark cave. There is a large area of ​​Hei Yaya, and relatives or knowers are waiting for an unknown fate.

The innermost part of the cave was occupied by a large family. Women sat against the wall, men sat in front of them, and guards and escorts were at the forefront.

The Shangguan family occupied the corner of the land. The old man Shangguan Jinghong sat cross-legged on the hay, while Shangguan Zhenhua and Mrs. Shangguan were close to the old man.

On the right side of the old man, there were several people sitting. Their dresses were obviously different from others. One of them was fairy-like and looked like a man outside the ground, and the other were dressed as a Taoist boy.

Shangguan Zhenhua glanced at them several times. He admired the other party's appearance in a place like the dungeon. He didn't know how they kept it.

I don’t know why the old man took them. These people joined their convoy halfway. Who knows what they were thinking? Not long after they joined the convoy, they were robbed by bandits. It was such a coincidence!

He inquired several times, but he didn't find out any news. However, the old man had a conversation with him, and the two of them seemed to meet too late. He didn't know when the old man would be marveling.

"What exactly are those bandits doing? They have robbed all the things. They have been locked up for so long, and they have to be killed or cut off. I'll give you a word! What does it mean to keep them like this?" Shangguan Zhenhua murmured.

"His grandfather and parents are still suffering, but the brat is happy and happy. I don't know if Yalian and the others have escaped? Have you seen the brat? Dad, do you think the brat will come?"

Shangguan Zhenhua leaned towards the old man again, not daring to mention his boy's name. The bandits did not want to kill them, but if they heard that he had a county prince's son, they would have to kill them if they didn't kill them.

Then he sighed again. His boy was timid and timid, and he had been a county magistrate in Qishan for more than a year. I wonder if he had become stronger? If he was still the timid nature of the past, how dare he come to the bandits' nest to save people?

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Shangguan glared at him angrily, and said something and looked up, worried that the people next to him would listen.

"What do you think this is? This is a bandit's nest. How long has she just arrived here? There are only a few constables in the yamen. Letting her come here is not a death! You, a father, are so cruel!

There are so many people in prison, and I will kill them early. I can still be kept for so many days. I will spend all my brains on money. I will worry about it and stay honestly. Dad knows it. Don’t make trouble." Mrs. Shangguan said as she patted him.

Shangguan Zhenhua nodded. The old man was their family's Dinghai Sword. Seeing the old man's calm appearance, he felt at ease. Otherwise, he would have jumped up long ago.

The old man didn't know what he thought, so he had to come to Qishan and move to other prefectures casually, and he would not have the same experience today.

Time is the same as fate!

The concubines in the group of women behind were huddled in a ball and shed tears silently. They all wanted to hug the master and cry. Since they entered the Shangguan Mansion, they were serving them with luxury and food, they have never suffered such pain.

If I had known that such a thing would have happened, they should have left when the master let them go. Now it would be too late to say anything.

One day they were caught, they cried and were beaten up by the master. After they beaten, no one dared to make trouble.

Shangguan Jinghong also sighed in his heart. This cheap son is not as good as his daughter-in-law. I wonder if that guy Qishan is the bad guy? It’s really the bad guy his family. When he received his letter, he would crawl here.

More than a year has been enough for him to cause trouble.

If the father and son come together, they can live this life. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to stay here alone. He lived to be eighty-nine in his previous life, and he had lived to be enough. He really wasn't that old age!

"Master Taoist, do you think my family can escape this disaster this time?" Shangguan Jinghong raised his eyelids, squinted his eyes, and turned to ask the Taoist priest next to him.

"God blesses a good man! My old man just worry, this trip is safe. I have calculated it for the old man, and the old man will get what he wants. Your great blessing is still here."

Shangguan Zhenhua disagreed and sneered in his heart. The charlatan made the old man stunned, but there was no expression of disgust on his face.

It’s a blessing for him to speak out, but he’s so lucky?!

Only the old man believed in him. They were all imprisoned, and it was hard to say whether they could escape alive. Even if they escaped, his son, a county magistrate, would be so blessed. He was in this remote corner of Qishan, showing off his might.

Shangguan Jinghong lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Give me instructions and take a closer look at our family's people. Money is something outside of your body. The bandits want to give it to them, so don't show off. You can earn money again when you lose money, and you will lose everything when you lose people." Shangguan Jinghong said to his son.

Shangguan Jinghong was also thinking, what did the bandits want to do?

Tens of thousands of refugees are locked up here, and eating and drinking is a problem. When they lock up the rich, they can find a reason, and the bandits are still thinking of blackmailing them.

But the refugees have no money on their bodies except that life. What should they do if they are locked up?

The old man was thinking about it, when the bandits came again, opened the prison door, and called hundreds of people away. No one knew whether the hundreds of people who went out could come back?

After that, hundreds of people were called away every day, and the people who were called away never came back, which made the refugees panic.

The servants of the Shangguan family were also panicked. Seeing the calm appearance of their masters, the servants suppressed their panic.

"Dad, what do they ask hundreds of people to go out every day?" Shangguan Zhenhua honestly for a few days, and then came to the old man.

"Don't meddle in other people's business." The old man didn't even lift his eyelids. He caught him for several days. The bandits didn't deliver a meal. The refugees secretly ate the dry food they had hidden to satisfy their hunger.

If this continues, the dungeon will be quarrels in order to stutter.

After the bandits called away four or five groups of refugees, they finally called Shangguan Yiji and his family out.

Shangguan Zhenhua supported the old man, followed the bandits to turn left and right in the cave, then left and came out of the cave and came to a village.

Everyone was surprised when they saw the villagers working in the field.

What the hell is going on?

Aren’t the bandits robbed them? Why did they bring them to the village? Could it be that the village is full of bandits...

Shangguan's family relocated, and there were at least a few hundred people. So many people had no place to stay for them, so they were asked to stay in the village burger drying ground and sent people to guard them. The old man Shangguan Zhentian took a few guards and the Taoist magistrate and the others to the village chief's house together.

The village chief in the main hall saw that they and his group came, got up and greeted him with a smile. The master and the others entered the house and the guards stayed outside.

"You are here, please sit down! The village has a lot of work these days, and I am busy with the affairs of the village. I don't want to delay for a few days. I offend you so much! Our countryside is very crude and not as rude as the homes of all the masters, so I'm so responsible!"

The old man was really rude. He glanced at the room, then sat down, and said lightly: "It's pretty good. The loofahs grown in the yard are good. The peppers are red, and they are precocious!"

Shangguan Zhentian sat under the old man, and the Taoist priest sat opposite the old man.

The village chief Dahan unexpectedly glanced at the old man with a rich man. He heard that this was the old man from the official family, and the convoy belonged to their family, and it was a big fat sheep. The money in the family was as high as a mountain, but he didn't expect to understand the work in the field.

"This is the official master! This surname is good, Master Guan, Master Guan. At first glance, I thought you were the official masters of the court! This surname is rare, so there are officials in our Dayong Dynasty!" The village chief looked at his honest appearance, but he spoke very funny.
