Chapter 62 The Encounter of Lu Dazhuang
Tang Rou thought of the man she had died in battle, so she hid aside and secretly wiped her tears, and when she calmed down, she asked Lu Dazhuang, "You said that you have been in the military camp for so many years, but did you ever know a man named Zhong Fugui who was about the same age as you?" Aged, average build, looks a little thin."

Lu Dazhuang frowned in thought, and shook his head after a while, "There are too many people in the barracks. They come and go, and newcomers come in all the time. I really don't remember this name."

Disappointed, Tang Rou wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, choked up and said, "He died in battle in May or June this year. There is no body, only clothes, and a pension."

Lu Dazhuang's face changed, and he looked at Tang Rou with a little more sympathy, hesitating whether to tell her the situation.

Seeing him like this, Tangning said, "Say what you have to say."

Lu Dazhuang paused, lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "If the one who died in May and June was most likely the last battle I participated in, because there were too many dead people, and there was no one on our side to collect the corpses, so There will be no corpses sent back. In fact, I am not very courageous, and I regret my life.

After I got off the battlefield, I struggled for a long time. I didn’t leave Suzhou directly. I wandered around the county with other brothers for a few days. When I saw the death list posted by the county magistrate, there were several people in it who were obviously still alive, but they were reported dead. In this situation, they can't show up at all. Once they show up, they will either be taken back to the barracks directly, and the pension money will be taken back, or the government will deny your identity and arrest you for the crime of impersonation.

Those people didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble, so we left together, but everyone wanted to go to a different place, so I was left alone. "

That is to say, the imperial court directly acquiesced that all the people who went to the battlefield were dead, and did not check carefully at all. If these soldiers who had been regarded as dead in battle showed up, they would slap the imperial court in the face. It is estimated that the government will not recognize their identities in all likelihood. , will really be arrested for the crime of impersonation, leaving them with only a dead end.

This situation shocked everyone, even Tangning was surprised.

Wei Dazhi was so angry that his teeth itch, "They really don't take human life seriously! If they don't die, they will kill them!"

Tang Rou seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and was very excited, "Does that mean my child's father may still be alive?"

Lu Dazhuang didn't want to give her hope and let her down, he immediately shook his head and said, "There should be no such possibility. Those who survived left together. There was no one named Zhong Fugui among them, and they didn't even agree with their appearance or age."

The light in Tang Rou's eyes gradually dimmed.

Tang Laoer patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think too much, even if Zhong Fugui is really alive, he won't be able to show up, and it's even more impossible for you to return to Zhong's house."

The two families are making such an ugly mess, and he will not allow Tang Rou to go back and continue to be humiliated.

Tang Rou took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, "Father, I know, I have no other thoughts, but he is the father of the child after all, if he is still alive, Nizi and Axie at least have a father."

"Ah!" Tang Laoer sighed with endless sadness. In times of war, there are so many women like Tang Rou. It's just that Tang Rou is lucky and has her natal family to rely on. Damn, I was forced to hang a hemp rope around my neck in the end.

Seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, Tangning didn't say anything. She got up and said to Tang Zhong and the others, "I'll go out to find out the news later. If possible, we'll set off tonight. Don't run around like crazy today. Fill up with water as much as possible. gone."

"Okay!" Tang Zhong responded very crisply.

Tangning was thinking about going on the official road, but Tang Junsheng and Lu Dazhuang asked, "How long have you been in Huizhou? Do you know about Huiyangba?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Dazhuang looked puzzled.

Tang Junsheng said directly: "The county magistrate of Huiyangba accepts those who have no way to guide people into the city, and they charge yuan per person. Do you know about this?"

Lu Dazhuang nodded resolutely, not surprised at all, "The county magistrate of Huiyangba sent his own sister to the magistrate as a concubine, so he gained a lot of courage. Who would believe that the magistrate didn't get involved in this business! But it's not just Huizhou In this way, I heard refugees from other places say that this is the case in many places, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is normal.

It's just that the county magistrate of Huiyangba is more greedy, so his reputation spreads far and wide. "

"How to say?" Everyone looked at each other, very curious.

Lu Dazhuang said: "How else can I say it, isn't the eligibility to live in the city of fifty renminbi a day not black?"

"Fifty Wen a day!" Jiang's voice was raised several degrees in shock.

"Don't you know?" Lu Dazhuang looked at Tang Junsheng and the others. From the conversation just now, he also guessed that Tang Junsheng and others were probably refugees who sneaked out. This place is close to Huiyang Dam. You don't need to think about it. Where did they come from? Now they say they don't know the situation in Huiyangba, which is quite surprising.

Tang Junsheng said blankly, "We came from Huiyangba, so we really don't know about this."

"Then you are." Lu Dazhuang wanted to know how they crossed the city.

Tangning swung the basket behind her back, inserted the sickle into the wooden shelf at her waist, and responded swiftly, "It's simple, the savages used savage methods. We set fire to the city and came here while we were in the chaos."

Lu Dazhuang was so frightened that his eyeballs almost popped out, he looked at the group of people in front of him in horror, did he guess wrong, these are not good people, but bandits?

Seeing his terrified appearance, Jiang shi nodded Tangning's head angrily, "Don't scare him! He was injured all over his body, but he got a fever after being frightened by you!"

Tangning rubbed her nose innocently, and glanced at Lu Dazhuang. Although this guy is not a tall man, he got off the battlefield with injuries all over his body. He could walk to Huizhou without seeing a doctor. Waking up so quickly, without inflammation or fever, telling her that this guy can't help but scare, who will believe it!

The Jiang family didn't know what Tangning was thinking, so she hurriedly explained, "Da Zhuang, don't listen to her, we just used a little cleverness and didn't burn down the city, at most we burned some dead trees and weeds. The girl said so exaggeratedly!"

As soon as the voice fell, there were many footsteps not far away, and the voice became clearer and clearer, and even the voice of the voice reached everyone's ears.

"I don't know who is so wicked. They set fire to the mountain just to cross the Huiyang Dam. It's been two days and the fire hasn't been extinguished yet. All the people in the city have gone out of the city to put out the fire, and they won't let them in!"

"Hey! This world is chaotic, and people are forced to do anything! If you want me to say that the county magistrate of Huiyangba is too much, now things are so big that they can't be suppressed. We have to do it this time." Take a long detour!"

"If you take a long detour, you can save two hundred Wen!"
