Xiang Ji was stunned. He looked at the man and asked, "My father-in-law, will the township start investigating from the day after tomorrow?"
"Does it have to be checked every time you pass through?"
The old man shook his head: "No."
"I heard from the village elders that it is not the channel that needs to be verified, but that every time you purchase some necessary supplies, you have to verify it."
"It seems that every route needs to be verified. It must be two months later, right?"
After hearing this, Xiang Ji nodded slightly with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you so much, old man."
The old man shook his head with a smile and watched the few people leave.
Xiang Ji's face was gloomy all the way, as if it could rain.
The people on the side couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ji, what should we do now?"
"Are we going to go on like this?"
"After three days, we won't even be able to buy salt. How can people not eat salt?"
"Even if we can persist, what about the children?"
There was anger on his face.
"Besides, my father-in-law also said that in two months, the roads will be inspected even when passing through the countryside."
"We can't get a new road guide, what can we do?"
Xiang Ji lowered his head and kept walking forward.
Of course he knew the consequences of this.
As soon as there is no way to forge the way, everything will be cut off for them.
Now it has only reached the township level. Who knows whether it will reach the village level in the future?
If the whole village starts to be inspected...
They simply have no way out.
Xiang Ji closed his eyes, clenching his fists tightly, with helpless anger in his eyes.
"well."
He let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes: "I'm going to find my uncle!"
"We can't delay it any longer. If we continue to delay it, there will really be no way to survive!"
With that said, Xiang Ji quickened his pace again.
The few people behind him looked at each other and followed Xiang Ji's footsteps.

Hadong County
Meng Qiu put down the pen in his hand, and standing beside him was a book boy who had served him since childhood.
"Sir, Zhao Gu has been beheaded."
He reported conscientiously: "Most of the people on the list you gave me before have been crossed out."
“Now there are only three companies left on the roster.”
Three?
Meng Qiu raised his head and pressed his forehead.
"Aren't there any relics from the Six Nations hiding in these three families, and no one reported them?"
The book boy nodded slightly, with a respectful expression on his face: "Yes, sir."
"It seems that no one has reported any of these three companies so far, and our people haven't found anything."
Meng Qiu frowned and asked, "What is the attitude of the three families?"
The scholar said: "Among them, members of the Wang family have come two or three times. The first time was their bodyguard, the second time was their bastard, and the third time was their eldest son."
"There has been no reaction from the Liu family and Qian family so far."
While the two were talking, a guard walked in from outside: "To inform the county governor, the head of the Wang family, Wang Xie'an, would like to see you."
The word "begging" already explained Wang Xie'an's attitude. Meng Qiu smiled and nodded.
"Quick, ask him to come in."
After receiving the order, the guard went out.
After a while, Wang Xie'an walked in. His expression was humble and respectful, and his expression was calm and sincere.
Wearing a black robe, his steps are neither hasty nor slow.
"Xie An, the king of the people, has met the county governor."
There was a smile on Wang Xie'an's face: "It's been several months since Commander Meng came here. It's really Xie An's fault that Xie An can't spare the time."
"I wonder if the county magistrate is free today. Xie An is holding a banquet at home and wants to entertain the magistrate."
Meng Qiu looked equally kind, as if he was not the one who came to Hedong County and fought against the nobles here many times.
"certainly."
"I was supposed to be hosting a banquet for you all, but who would have thought that I would be so busy until now."
"I will definitely attend the banquet tonight."
Wang Xie'an received a satisfactory answer, chatted with Meng Qiu for a few more words, and then left.
After he left, the book boy couldn't help but asked: "Sir, why did you agree to his banquet?"
Meng Qiu hummed, and while handling government affairs, he said, "Because I am not Mr. Chen, nor is he Your Majesty."
"Besides, these nobles cannot be killed all."
"Just gotta get what we want to get."
"Go tell the people at Heibingtai and follow them. I hope that in half a month, we can find the whereabouts of the Six Kingdoms legacy in the homes of the Liu family and the Qian family."
"Or, I hope someone will report these two companies and have evidence."
After receiving the order, the boy went down.
And Meng Qiu looked at the sky in the distance.
The first wind in the summer of Da Qin was set off by Zeng Lu.
Then this second wind mixed with rain must have been stirred up by Meng Qiu.
With a smile on his lips: "Autumn is coming."
"Xiaoxiao, let the rain rest."

in the village
Xiang Ji told Xiang Liang everything about what he saw today. At this time, Xiang Liang was lying on the chair as if he was about to die.
His expression was numb, and even Xiang Liang's body had a faint smell of decay.
Like a rotten piece of wood.
"Ahem."
He coughed a few times, and his body even began to dry up, leaving only a layer of skin.
Xiang Ji looked a little sad when he saw this scene.
Once upon a time, his uncle was also a majestic man, a general who rode horses to kill enemies and went to the battlefield!
Now, how did it end up like this?
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Xiang Ji was like a child, subconsciously looking for his uncle's support.
Xiang Liang waved his hand: "You said, there is news from Xianyang City that Wang Jian is sick? He is seriously ill and is about to die?"
His voice was hoarse, as if it came from nowhere.
At this time, Xiang Liang's eyes were bright.
Xiang Ji nodded: "Yes, uncle."
"Wang Jian is dying."
He couldn't help but said: "Uncle, what we are talking about now is the current household registration and road guidance!"
"If we don't have troops, we won't even be able to buy food or salt in three days!"
Xiang Liang narrowed his eyes: "Then buy private salt!"
"Make a high price!"
"Isn't it good to have the money brought from the royal family back then?"
"Besides, doesn't the guy from Pei County give us something every year?"
"Write him a letter tomorrow and tell him about it."
"I don't believe he can't be in a hurry!"
Xiang Ji looked at Xiang Liang who couldn't persuade him, and sighed, with sadness and anger on his face: "Uncle!"
"Wake up!"
"What is the difference between your behavior now and drinking poison to quench your thirst?"
"Today, salt and other necessities are restricted. Tomorrow Township will start checking the road signs, Houri Village will start checking the road signs, and people carrying large amounts of necessities will be able to be checked on the day after."
"Nowadays, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are being killed every day."
"Uncle, if we don't have enough troops, we won't be able to have a strong army for the uprising!"
