Chapter 957: The Old Army Master Comes to Seek Refuge [2]

"Don't worry, Grandpa. There are only over a hundred people here. If you count them by family, there are only about thirty or forty households. We can assign one job to each household. But they must be thoroughly investigated and proven innocent before they can be given jobs. Otherwise, they must be kicked out." Qin Xiaomi said.

Grandpa Qin nodded: "This is a must."

He couldn't possibly put his family in danger just to help someone, could he? He wasn't that foolish.

Qin Xiaomi smiled, and after comforting Grandpa Qin, she asked Shen Du, "Where are they?"

Shen Du replied, "The county magistrate has already taken them to the county seat and settled them there. A preliminary investigation has been conducted. Since they brought with them the armor plaques they were given when they were demobilized, their circumstances are easily ascertained. They are the same as those registered at their place of residence."

Because the Wei Dynasty conquered the world on horseback, its military system was very complete. When an old soldier took off his armor, he would have a piece of armor. There would be fingerprints on the armor piece and on the household registration. By comparing them, it could be confirmed that it was the real person.

Then follow their route and check along the way until you find your registered place of residence.

"Most of them are from other counties outside our prefecture. The farthest ones are Tianmang Prefecture and Beixiong Prefecture. The county magistrate sent a flying letter and a fast land horse to their registered places yesterday to check."

Look at the family's background. County Magistrate Kang can use carrier pigeons to send messages, which makes his communication several times faster than others.

If the news is transmitted several times faster, you can be one step ahead of others in everything, and it will be difficult not to make achievements and get promoted.

But this is the treatment for the children of a noble family. It was only after the spy committed a crime that County Magistrate Kang was given the power to freely use the Feishu route.

Qin Xiaomi thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, please go there in person and meet them. If possible, bring them to Taifeng Town."

Not angry, so easy to accept?!

Master Lu’s son, Lu Xinshun, was shocked and even began to doubt whether all the skills he had learned in judging people since he was a child had been in vain.

...Mr. Qin is really an unfathomable person.

No, no, Mr. Qin is actually very easy to figure out.

She is very willing to help the poor people who really need help and deserve help.

But she will never accept forced or calculated help. If you dare to do so, she will just tear your head off!

Grandpa Qin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Grandpa will go there in person and spend some time with them. If they are not good enough, I won't bring them back."

but……

"I have to interview people from outside the town today. Grandpa is not here. Can you do it?"

Qin Xiaomi smiled and pointed at the sentry post halfway down the street. "Taifeng Town is practically a fortress, heavily guarded. How could it not be possible? And if folks from other towns still dare to provoke us even now, it only proves that they are short-sighted and unfit for a good life. Just keep eating their wild vegetable pancakes."

Aunt Qin said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. With us and Dalang here, no one can bully Xiaomi."

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin was still worried and kept Miao Man, asking him to protect Qin Xiaomi, clear the way for Qin Xiaomi, and throw people away.

"Yes." Miao Man replied respectfully.

In order to reassure Grandpa Qin, and also because Miao Man was bestowed upon Grandpa by the imperial court and his status was quite impressive, Qin Xiaomi did not refuse.

"Brother-in-law Fengshou, boy Lu, wait for me. I'll go back and leave soon." After Grandpa Qin gave instructions, he returned to the Qin family shop.

When he told Grandma Qin about it, she turned cold and said, "I'm going to say this beforehand. This is the only time. Don't bring anyone back with you, or I'll divorce you. Go on your own."

Grandma Qin understood that Grandpa Qin couldn't bear to see the old soldiers living such a hard life, but the family fortune was earned by her granddaughter, and because of this, people secretly called her the female devil of hell, saying that she killed people and threw away their heads!

As for this reputation, it was only thanks to the merits of his family and the strength of his granddaughter and Dalang that he was able to suppress it. Otherwise, his granddaughter would have been regarded as a monster by the villagers and burned to death.

The granddaughter had earned the family fortune with her life and reputation, but with just a word from the dead old man, he was going to use her family fortune to help a group of strangers.

Grandpa Qin was shocked: "Old woman, are you sick?"

We've been married for over 30 years, and haven't we always been in love and supported each other? Why are you suddenly getting a divorce without even having a fight?

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Grandma Qin cursed, then added, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Go sooner rather than later. And there's the matter of resettling the old soldiers. Let the government figure it out. Don't push everything onto Xiaomi. How old is Xiaomi? Hasn't he already helped the government enough?!"

After saying that, he started smashing the basket with a clang.

Grandpa Qin shrank back in fear, then hurried to pick up the basket, repeatedly assuring, "Don't worry, old lady, I will never let our Xiaomi suffer any loss, and I won't let other people's affairs burden Xiaomi..."

After making a lot of promises, Grandma Qin snorted coldly and went to pack his things, saying, "Come back early."

"Hey, come back as soon as you finish your work. Don't stay any longer." Grandpa Qin smiled, picked up two bags, and left with Miao Bo.

He didn't use the family car, and left with Shen Du and Lu Xinshun in the county government's car... The old woman was angry. How could he dare to use the family's things? Besides, the family members had to go out every day recently, so the donkey cart and horse carriage had to be left for their own family members.

Grandpa Qin left smoothly, but Lu Qian and Shi Songxin were in trouble.

Grandma Qin was already in a bad mood. When she heard about her granddaughter scolding her on the road, her face darkened and she said, "Isn't it enough that I gave you twenty carts of potato seeds? I only have one cart left at home, and you're so jealous that you won't let me go!"

Shi Songxin and Lu Qian were shocked...Hasn't Madam Qin always been gentle and caring towards the younger generation? What happened today? Have we not offended her?

The two looked at each other.

Shi Songxin pointed his finger secretly in front of the road and was certain that it was you who angered Old Madam Qin. Did the Qin family really not know that you came to find the Qin family specially and contacted the Qin family deliberately in order to make the Qin family have a crush on you so that you could gain benefits from the Qin family?

Lu Qian slapped Shi Songxin's hand away and glared at him: "How good are you? If it weren't for Qin Dongjia's fierceness and throwing you out on the street at the beginning, you would have been tempted by his beauty and used some tricks to harass Qin Dongjia!"

Are you two useless people with brains that are not connected? Can you please stop thinking with your buttocks? Day after day, you have no clear and serious things to do.

"What are you two arguing about? Do you have any business to attend to? If not, then leave immediately. I, an old woman, have a lot of work to do and I am not as idle as you." Grandma Qin drove the guests away.

Shi Songxin and Lu Qian hurriedly bowed and again expressed their desire for potato seeds, adding, "Mrs. Qin has already agreed to share half a cart of potato seeds with us. Please, Madam, bring it to us."

"Hmph," Grandma Qin snorted coldly, "I can't even get half a truckload. At most, I can give you two boxes each. Take it or leave it... I'm a good granddaughter and I'll give you potato seeds once or twice, but I, an old woman, can't be bothered by that!"

My sage teacher, how did Old Madam Qin become so vicious?

Also, when has your granddaughter ever been so easy to talk to? She's so fierce she's unprecedented!

Grandma Qin ignored their thoughts and told Runxi, "Go and ask Aunt Xu to bring two boxes of wild potatoes and two boxes of taro."

"Yes." Runxi hurried to do it and soon moved four boxes of potato seeds to the street outside the shop.

Absolutely not. Move directly to the street without giving Shi Songxin and Lu Qian any chance to stay.

"Thank you, Madam Qin. I'll take my leave." Shi Songxin hurriedly ran away... He was scared, really scared. Everyone in the Qin family had a crazy temper. He would never come to the Qin family again!

Lu Qian's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself: Today is really unlucky. I failed to win the favor of anyone in the Qin family. All my efforts were in vain.
