Li Ri knew: "That small village was well built, it can be seen that it was putting its heart into practice!"

He was really puzzled. The Xiangma and the others did not move away their property, but they were not afraid of trying hard to build a village for the emperor and the queen to rest. Is this to please the emperor and the queen?

It is really unheard of for robbers to please the emperor. If robbers have the intention of loyalty, why should they be robbers? In theory, this makes no sense!

Wang Erhao took Li Rizhi to an inn more than three miles outside the city. The inn was built alone on the side of the road. It looked not small. Because it was used to guard against thieves, the wall was relatively high. There was only one door for entry and exit. A small door was dug out from the door, and there were also small windows on the door. At this time, the doors and windows were closed, and there were no pedestrians around.

Wang Erhao pointed to the post station and said, "Those families are locked up here."

After seeing the surrounding environment, Li Rizhi believed that the officials' families were locked up here. But if you believe it, how could you go in? They were only two of them and could not rush in to save people!

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the other side of the road. Li Rizhi and Wang Erhao hurriedly hid behind the tree on the side of the road, and saw a man wearing yamen run by horse and running to the door of the post station. The man jumped off his horse and smashed the door with a bang.

The small window opened, someone poked his head out and shouted, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The man outside said a few words, then got on his horse and returned from the same route.

In a short while, the gate of the office opened and five or six people rushed out from inside, all wearing yamen runners' clothes and riding horses, each carrying a package on his horse's back.

After leaving, one of them wanted to close the door again, but the other one stopped him. The door was not closed, but instead opened halfway, and several people rode away. Judging from their riding posture, these people were all skilled in equestrianism. Ordinary yamen runners do not have the ability to do so.

Watching the people leave, Li Rizhi came out from behind the tree and said, "I guess this group of horses is about to escape. This is the beginning of evacuation, but that's fine. We can go in and save people!"

Wang Erhao trotted to the door of the post office and said, "These loud horses are not even closed. Aren't they afraid that someone will go in? Then they will rescue everyone!"

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "They just want others to go in to save people. If no one goes in to save people, then if the people inside are starved to death or something happens, the government will not let them go even if they chase them to the ends of the world. But if no one dies, then the matter will always cover up the possibility of the past!"

Wang Erhao is also a person who makes a living in the county government office. Although he is just a servant, he still has some knowledge. After hearing this, he nodded repeatedly. Until now, no one has ever had any deaths in the Bocheng County Government office. As for whether the real county magistrate was killed, he doesn't know.

When they entered the inn, they saw that the yard was very clean and there was no mess. The two of them walked through the front yard and arrived at the back yard, and they saw that several main rooms in the back yard were locked. The room was quiet, and I don’t know if there were anyone.

Li Rizhi stepped forward and patted the window, asking, "Is there anyone inside?"

No one answered in the room, no sound at all.

Li Rizhi pushed the window and didn't push it open. He said again, "Xiangma escaped. I was sent by Chang'an to rescue you. Are you the family of the officials in Bocheng County?"

Someone whispered in the room. After a while, the voice became louder and another cry came out. Then someone shouted for help, and someone hit the door and window!

Wang Erhao quickly found a stone in the yard and smashed the door lock. The room was pitch black and there were many people inside. After the sunlight shone in, all of them blocked their eyes and exclaimed.

Li Rizhi also saw clearly that the people in the room were all women and children, and there were about a dozen people. Judging from their clothes, they were all neat and did not seem to have been abused.

Li Rizhi shouted into the room: "Are you all the families of officials in Bocheng County? Who isn't?"

No one answered this sentence from the women and children inside. If the current situation is the default, then this means that they are all the families of officials in Bocheng County.

Then Li Rizhi asked again: "So who are the families of officials in Bocheng County?"

This sentence was immediately responded, and all the women in the room burst into tears at the same time. When the children saw the woman crying, they also burst into tears!

Li Rizhi glanced at the expressions of the women in the room and found that all the expressions of the women were true feelings and were definitely not fakes, so he felt relieved.

Li Rizhi asked the women to come out with the children, and then said to Wang Erhao: "You go to the kitchen to find some hot water, so that everyone can wash their faces and wipe their hands. If there is hot soup or food, you can bring them together!"

Wang Erhao was determined to persuade Li Rizhi to leave here quickly. After all, this place is still dangerous, and it is probably dangerous to stay here. If the horses go back, wouldn't that be bad? They can block them in the inn and cannot escape even if they want to.

However, Li Rizhi did not give him this opportunity, but just waved his hand and asked Wang Erhao to do things immediately. Wang Erhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to take the water to find food.

Li Rizhi asked the women to take their children to the yard and stood in the yard. The space became larger. The fear in the women and children was relieved and their emotions gradually returned to normal.

Li Rizhi frowned and asked, "Since you are all the families of officials in Bocheng County, how could you be locked up here together? What's going on? Tell me, I am the supervisory envoy sent by the Secretariat of Chang'an. My surname is Li. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I can make the decision for you!"

He said this very much, but it made the women feel relieved.

So the women began to talk about the incident in a slight way. They all experienced terrible things personally, so of course they were very sad to speak, almost to the point where they were about to cry after saying something.

Li Rizhi didn't interrupt. Basically, he just listened silently, just humming a few times occasionally, which meant that he was still listening, and it was still sympathizing with the women's experience.

In fact, if the part of what the women say is sad, then these women can be considered pitiful and hateful, but their behavior has implicated their children, but the children are innocent and have become unlucky with them.

The husbands of these women are all officials from Bocheng County, and they are all officials with relatively high positions. The common point of these officials is that they all get a good deal from Wu Penghui.
