After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 754: Suspicion leads to the destruction of the old village
Outside the house, the silver token had fallen into the hands of General Hua.

Hua Zongqi took the time to take a closer look, but couldn't see any clues.

"Give me the token!" A Weng rushed over to grab it.

Hua Zongqi was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he gave him the token and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little brother. We are all from the same ancestor inside and outside the mountain. We will never steal your things."

"Bah!" Ah Weng spat angrily, hid the token in his clothes, went into the house to look for Bazi, and asked anxiously: "Bazi, did they bully you?"

Bazi said nothing, just stared at him.

Ah Weng felt a chill and said with an apologetic smile, "I was worried about your safety, so I took out the token to scare them... It's not a powerful token, just a token that can enter the old village to meet the ancestors, so it's okay to expose it."

The token used to enter the old village to see the ancestors is indeed only one level higher than the token used to enter the old village. However, the ancestors have instructed that people outside the mountain are bad and they must not show their tokens to them, lest they find excuses to frame them and then lead their troops to attack the old village.

"Aweng, Bazi, I didn't expect you to be favored by the ancestors of the old village. You are amazing." Mengzi was excited and envious, and said, "Unlike me, I have never been selected."

Every year, all the villages in the mountains would select a group of people to enter the old village to serve the ancestors.

People in the mountains are proud of this, and all the kids want to go.

Unfortunately, many people were not selected.

As for the selection criteria, there is none. It just depends on who the ancestors like.

Upon hearing this, A Weng and Bazi's vanity was satisfied and their faces looked better.

The chief of the stronghold said: "Aweng, Bazi, do your job well for the ancestors, don't be impulsive and cause trouble, and lose face for the ancestors... You must know that making peace with the outside world, exchanging things, and making life easier for the people inside the mountains is also the intention of the ancestors."

"That's right, harmony is the most important thing for everyone. Harmony is the most important thing for everyone." The third village chief echoed and quoted an idiom that Yuling taught him.

"Yeah." Bazi finally responded.

Seeing this, Hua Zongqi said, "Okay, okay, let's continue talking."

Before the talk, he tidied the house.

Grandpa Qin sighed secretly: My granddaughter has to pay for what she smashed.

After everything was packed up and the parties sat down again, Qin Xiaomi said directly: "The Qin family has only a few conditions. If you agree, the Qin family will help you hire people to open a shop, teach you new medical skills, and give you prescriptions that are not available in the mountains. If you don't agree, forget it."

"Calm down..." Shopkeeper Pang was afraid of her and hurried out to mediate.

Qin Xiaomi has already stood up: "That's it, come and talk to my family when you have a result in the mountain."

After saying that, he left.

Jiang Dalang hurriedly followed and protected her to prevent her from being beaten.

Inside the house, Bazi, A Weng, the three village chiefs, and even A Ling had to scold Qin Xiaomi: "Look, you girls from outside the mountain are too arrogant. Do you really think that we, the people from the mountain, are begging her?"

Qin Xiaomi didn't look back but retorted: "I didn't ask you to beg me, but I will never beg you. As I said, we can talk, but if we can't, forget it!"

"You you you!" The third village chief was so angry that he felt like he had a heartache.

Uncle Qin said hypocritically: "Don't be angry, Third Village Chief. My niece is just like that. Her temper has improved a lot now. In the past, she would just smash the table with a knife to intimidate the villagers."

The Third Village Chief: "Then why don't you, as the elders, take care of it?!"

Uncle Qin: "I did, but she even beat me."

The third village chief: “…” Then you, as a uncle, are such a waste.

Outside the house, Xiao Tao Xiaoqi wisely led the soldiers, followed Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Dalang, all the way to the Qin family shop. After closing the door, they immediately took out the token paper that the soldiers had secretly copied.

"Take some wood ash, rub it into fine pieces, and sprinkle it on the rubbing paper. Use a soft brush to slowly sweep out the shape of the print." Qin Xiaomi said.

"Yes." Zhu Yiqing hurried to the kitchen to get wood ash.

Grandma Qin knew that they were doing serious work, so she didn't ask any questions and just stood guard for them.

Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, Guan the clerk, Hua Zongqi, and Manager Pang were busy until almost evening before they returned to the Qin family.

Manager Pang and others came here under the pretext of persuading Qin Xiaomi, so Bazi and the others did not doubt them too much and asked them to keep an eye on Qin Xiaomi and not let her go crazy again.

As soon as Manager Pang saw Qin Xiaomi, he said, "You are too impulsive. You just turned the table over and quit without consulting us. If the villagers really don't want to talk, everything will fail."

Qin Xiaomi asked with a smile: "Haven't you figured it out yet? They can't be too polite, so turning the table over at the right time is very useful."

"That's true, but you also have to consider the overall situation." Manager Pang said earnestly.

Qin Xiaomi was unmoved: "It's none of my business. My family has been helping the Wei army to deal with the mountain people for so long. We are very kind and righteous."

"Manager Pang, come and take a look." The clerk Guan shouted from the other side.

Shopkeeper Pang had no choice but to stop lecturing Qin Xiaomi and went to close the table where the clerks were sitting.

On the table, there were several rubbings of silver tokens, as well as a token given by the village chief, also made of silver.

"The chief of the village said that this token can allow their village leaders to enter the old village, but they cannot see those so-called ancestors. But the token that A Weng took out can directly see the ancestors."

"Both tokens are made of silver, and the patterns engraved on the front and back are exactly the same, but..."

The clerk pointed out a difference and said, "Does this pattern, which looks like a long spike tied in two half knots and a small ladder covering the top, look like the word September in the Dongmo script?"

Guan Shuli, Qin Ershu, Jiang Dalang, and Hua Zongqi all know the Dongmo language.

But none of them could compare to Shopkeeper Pang... The first necessary requirement for the shopkeepers of the Tianmangfu branch of Wu Ze Pharmacy was that they had to be able to read and write the language of the neighboring country, Dongmo.

And you need to understand the texts of each part.

Shopkeeper Pang looked at it carefully for a moment, frowning deeper and deeper, and finally said, "It looks like it, but the grains are facing downwards. Dongmo is superstitious about this, and usually the grain patterns are painted upwards."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Xiaomi sneered, "No, you have been watching for so long and you have come up with this nonsense? If it were you, don't try to win over, befriend, or test the mountain people. Since you have suspicions and have found some evidence, why not just go straight to the old village and arrest everyone inside? Use torture and you will soon be able to find out if they are spies or descendants of spies."

The most important reason why the Wei army went to great lengths to ask the Qin family for help in winning over the mountain people was to use the Qin family to investigate whether the mountain people and the mysterious old village were another spy hideout?
"If the spies can build nests in the bandit strongholds and push their offspring out of the mountains, they will definitely push their offspring into the villages of the mountain people. There is no need to investigate, just arrest them directly, so as not to keep acting with them and tire yourself out."

Her words touched everyone's heart, and everyone agreed.

But the clerk Guan was still sober and shook his head, saying, "Niece Qin, according to what you said, it is indeed possible to quickly eliminate the spies in the mountain village, but it will completely ruin the relationship between the mountain people and the court, and will completely push the mountain people to the East Desert."

"The mountain people's feelings towards the imperial court are weak to begin with. They are willing to cooperate now only because of their friendship with their ancestors and the Wei army for saving the abducted mountain women. So we must not use force and must proceed slowly."

Qin Xiaomi: "You can take your time if you want, but don't let my Qin family suffer!"

She wanted to overturn the table again.

She is living her third life and just wants to live a free and easy life. Can you please not use moral coercion against her just because she has high moral standards?
