Nancheng, Dingyuanfang, Back Street.
Deep in the narrow alley, inside and outside the simple courtyard, now densely packed with people.
Qi Guang carefully protected his wife and children behind him, and stood side by side with his father beside Chaimen.
Inside is their home, a place they spent several years saving to buy.
At this time, in the small courtyard, several detectives were rummaging back and forth, picking up their scabbards and fiddling with things.
Although these people were very careful, the small courtyard was still inevitably left in a mess.
Qi Guang's face was full of nervousness. Even though he had cleaned up very carefully, he was still afraid that he would forget that there was something that had not been destroyed and was found again.
Not only Qi Guang was nervous about this situation, but the neighbors outside were also nervous.
At this time, almost every household in Dingyuanfang has people coming here to watch.
Fear, worry, nervousness, expectation, all kinds of eyes were intertwined together, watching the Qi family being searched by officers and soldiers with complicated expressions.
Deputy Chief Hu stood in the shadow of the corner of the courtyard, with his right hand on the handle of the knife, looking at everything outside with sharp eyes.
He was entrusted by Du Bixing, a member of the French army, to come and see for himself what was going on?
Why did so many Muzhou immigrants in the city suddenly betray the Tianyin Sect?
Is this a conspiracy of the Tianyin Sect, or is there something hidden in it?
Although Du Bixing came forward, Deputy Chief Hu knew clearly that what he really wanted to know was their prince.
The Qi family is considered a diligent family in this area, and its situation is much better than that of its neighbors nearby.
The Qi family was not the only family in Dingyuanfang who went to register and wait to open up wasteland and grant farmland. There were also many other Wuzhou immigrant families in our family who went to the state government office.
But now, Qi Guang is the first to come back.
At this time, Qi Guang, in addition to protecting his wife behind him, also looked at the crowd with a vicious look on his face.
With a look of resentment and hatred in his eyes, he was a middle-aged bearded man wearing an ocher silk robe.
Deputy Chief Hu picked up the long knife and stood in the shadow, watching all this with interest.
Tianyin believers also have piety and shallow faith.
Before last night, the Tianyin Sect still had great prestige among the immigrants from Muzhou, with many devout believers; but after last night, countless Tianyin believers were killed by officers and soldiers, their property was fired, and their wives and children were destroyed. Without an official, even the cousins’ families were implicated.
Under such circumstances, even the most pious people will inevitably feel turbulent in their hearts, fearing that officers and soldiers will come to kill them at the next moment.
Especially when the news spread that the court wanted to identify each family of Tianyin believers, the wives of every family shed tears silently, while the old father had already picked up the knife.
Deputy Chief Qian didn't know what happened to the others, but he knew that the Qi family was like this.
However, after a night of trembling, the Qi family did not wait for the official message, but instead waited for other news.
The government wants to open up wasteland and grant farmland.
As long as you have lived in Wuzhou for five years and do not have any Tianyin believers in your home.
Granting land naturally requires registering.
Before Qi Guang thought of this, his father had already walked out excitedly holding a knife.
Soon, even his wife stopped wiping tears.
After staying up all night, the Qi family carefully searched their home and destroyed everything related to the Tianyin Sect. After making sure that nothing was wrong, Qi Guang left home and headed to the state capital.
There are countless houses like his in the entire Dingyuanfang, and even more in the entire city.
That is to say, Qi Guang left early, otherwise, he would still be queuing up outside the state government office.
Deputy Catcher Hu understood in his heart that King Nanchang's heart-killing strategy was only one of the reasons why it worked so well. The other two were that there was more of a problem within the Tianyin Sect.
The malicious light just now was proof.
Deputy Hu winked at the cronies on the side, and his men immediately and quietly went out.
Vice President Hu
The catcher himself walked towards Qi Guang. In his eyes, if he really wanted to understand all this, he had to start with Qi Guang.
Seeing Deputy Catcher Hu approaching, Qi Guang quickly raised his hands and asked slightly nervously: "Captain Hu, how are you?"
"Don't call me Catcher, just call me Catcher Hu." Hu Danxu waved his hand, and then said with a gentle expression: "There are no prohibited items in your home. Now, you just need to re-enter the house, and then you can go The state government has received the land grant!"
Qi Guang breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what Captain Hu meant by his words, Qi Guang still stepped into the house.
Just after landing, Qi Guang saw a simple drawing placed under the threshold.
The drawing is very familiar, the statue of the goddess Tianyin.
When I was in the state government office, there was also a look like this at the door of the state government office.
Qi Guang immediately knew what Hu Captou and the others were doing now.
Qi Guang stepped on it and immediately left a clear footprint, which was printed directly on the face of the goddess Tianyin.
Qi Guang naturally didn't care as he had already walked through the state office once before. He raised his head and looked at his wife.
Hu Danxu looked over with sharp eyes at the same time. Qi Shi rolled his eyes at Qi Guang angrily, then pulled the two children and walked in.
The footsteps also directly stepped on the statue of Tianyin Goddess.
Then came the father of the Qi family. He walked in directly with a smile on his face.
Without even looking down, he stepped directly on the face of the portrait of Tianyin Goddess.
"It seems that your family is a little impatient?" Hu Danxu's face was full of surprise.
Qi Guang on the side smiled helplessly and said, "It's just to avoid being bullied by others as soon as possible."
"It seems that many people bully you on weekdays!" Hu Danxu suddenly understood.
This bullying is not only from the outside, but also from the inside.
After figuring out the situation, Hu Danxu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked to the side chief and nodded.
The fifty-year-old lieutenant immediately took out a small pine wood sign from his arms seriously, with a number engraved on it.
The head of the village handed out the small pine wood sign and said gently to Qi Guang: "From now on, you are a member of this village."
Qi Guang immediately raised his hand and quickly took the small sign, held it tightly, and said at the same time: "Thank you, Chief!"
Qi Guang had seen this small sign in someone else's hands before. It was proof that he was from this place, and now he had it too.
The director looked at Qi Guang with a satisfied smile on his face.
Standing in the quiet courtyard, Qi Guang looked at the queue, which was not very long, with a little surprise on his face.
This is where the field is granted, but there are surprisingly not many people there.
Unlike the place where the household registration was registered before, people are already two miles away.
Qi Guang didn't say anything, didn't look around, just waited quietly in the team.
At this time, behind the osmanthus tree in the distance, Hu Danxu stood with his hands in silence and reported in detail everything he had encountered in Dingyuanfang.
Du Bixing, who was wearing a dark green official robe, looked at Qi Guang from the shade of the tree, nodded slightly, and said, "If this is true, then this person will be of great use. Keep an eye on him to see if he can pass the second level. I Go and report to the prince now."
"Here!" Hu Danxu saluted with his hands raised, watched Du Bixing leave, and then turned to look at Qi Guang.
Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and Qi Guang finally walked into the land where the fields were granted.
At first sight, it is a huge map of Wuzhou, and then huge circles are drawn in Longhua Mountain, Dapan Mountain, Panda Mountain, Kuaiji Mountain, Xianxia Ridge, Longmen Mountain and Qianligang Mountain. From time to time, someone will draw a piece of black wood. The cards are hung within the circle.
Qi Guang immediately understood that that was where their farmland was to be granted.
Seeing the people in front of him filing out with black wood, Qi Guang quickly stepped forward and handed over the red wooden sign and pine sign in his hand.
After the clerk inside took it, he looked at it carefully and then
Then he started writing on the paperwork on the side, and asked for Qi Guang's name and personal information. Finally, he took a piece from the pile of black wooden cards on the side and handed it to Qi Guang: "No. 43, awarded to you. There are twenty acres of wasteland at the northern foot of Dapan Mountain, so you must start plowing in the autumn after the summer harvest."
"After the summer harvest?" Qi Guang was slightly stunned, took the black wooden sign, and asked with some confusion: "Shangguan, I want to start farming now, can't I?"
"It's not a matter of whether it can be done or not." Hucao's clerk was very patient and said to Qi Guang and the people behind him: "The order to open up wasteland and grant land to the people was decided yesterday by the official, Prince Qianqiu of Nanchang County. It was just announced today.
I don’t know how long I have been waiting to get this share. Now it is not easy to determine which piece of your land is. If you want to accurately divide it, I will need to go to the field in person and wait for you in detail. Just divide it. "
After a pause, the clerk said with emotion: "The summer harvest is coming soon, and we and others are responsible for the daily harvesting here, but most of the other colleagues have to go to various places to monitor the summer harvest and want to go to the fields to distribute the harvest. The earth will have no time, everything will have to wait until after the summer harvest.”
Hearing what the clerk said, Qi Guang immediately understood.
In a word, the summer harvest is urgent and no one can be spared to subdivide the fields.
After all, Qi Guang was still unwilling to give up. He came closer and asked in a low voice: "Sir, I wonder if you can point me to a more detailed place first, so that I can go and have a look these days."
Hu Cao's clerk raised his head, rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then said directly: "To be honest with you, even if this field is pointed out to you, you can't get it now."
"I can't get it." Qi Guang and one person behind him, as well as everyone behind him, were suddenly shocked. They couldn't help but asked quickly: "Why can't you get it?"
"Because this part of the land used to belong to Hidden Fields. It was Prince Qianqiu of Donjia County who wanted to grant the land to you, so he forcibly took the land back from the hands of the aristocratic family. However, although the state capital took back the ownership of the land, But the produce from the fields belongs to the aristocratic families before the summer harvest is over, so it will not be given to you until after the summer harvest is over."
Seeing everyone's expressions of disbelief, Hucao Si Li said angrily: "If Wuzhou had so much farmland, it would have been distributed to the locals in Wuzhou over the years. How could I meet you waiting to take advantage of it? Just have some fun while you wait."
The clerk waved his hand impatiently and drove Qi Guang out.
Hearing what the clerk said, although Qi Guang was still a little uneasy, he felt much relieved.
He had just come out of the room, and before he thought about it carefully, he saw a man in his thirties, wearing gray robes and dressed as a scholar, walking out of the room on the other side, holding a document in his hand. It is densely filled with words.
Qi Guang saw the black wooden sign under the document at a glance. Thinking of what was written on the document, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Qi Guang's mind: Could it be that this person has obtained the accurate land grant?
"Brother." Qi Guang hurried forward, took the scholar's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you have anything to do with it? Why did you get the field so quickly..."
"Won't you go and see for yourself?" The scholar waved his hand, shook Qi Guang away, and then ran outside in large strides.
Qi Guang was slightly dazed, but he soon understood.
The other party's reaction just showed that in that room, it was really possible to get the land quickly.
After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, Qi Guang immediately strode towards the side room and then pushed the door open.
There were not many people in the room. Two officials in light blue robes were writing something on the table.
As soon as Qi Guang entered the door, he immediately attracted the other party's attention.
Seeing the other party looking at him, Qi Guang immediately handed over his hand: "This official, I don't know what to do..."
Before Qi Guang finished speaking, the other party had already waved his hand and pointed to the two wooden basins placed on one side.
Among the two wooden trays, one contains the tablet of Tianyin Goddess, and the other contains the wooden carving of Tianyin Goddess.
Just like in Tocao's house before
, one was spat on severely, and the other was stabbed several times.
Qi Guang immediately understood what the other party wanted him to do. Without any hesitation, he walked over to the memorial tablet of Tianyin Goddess, spit out a mouthful, then turned around, picked up the Tang Dao put aside, and slashed directly It was chopped on the wooden sculpture.
A crack was immediately cut open on the wooden sculpture's shoulder.
After doing all this, Qi Guang looked at the official on one side.
After reading all this, the clerk nodded with satisfaction, and finally asked Qi Guang, "Do you know where the Tianyin rebels are hiding in the city?"
"Ah!" Qi Guang was stunned, why is this a problem?
