Chapter 141 I'm Sorry
Zhu Mingqing looked very calm: "It's okay, the little girl is right, the Luo family is indeed guilty now."
but--
She turned and looked at Wang Leya: "After today, this sentence will no longer count. Little girl, you should be more careful with your words in the future."
According to the laws of Southern Xia, when a prisoner arrives at the place of exile, he automatically becomes a civilian and is not allowed to leave the city for the rest of his life without being summoned.
In addition, there is another type of person who has committed extremely serious crimes and will also be punished in the place of exile and will not be released for life.
The Luo family belongs to the former, and after the handover between Lianghe and Guancheng prefects is completed, they will become ordinary people.
"Madam Zhu!" Wang Qin also arrived at this time. He leaned forward slightly and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well, Madam."
Zhu Mingqing also bowed and returned the greeting, "Long time no see."
The two talked for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Wang Leya was shocked when she saw it.
She thought her cousin disliked her, but it turned out that this family really knew her uncle's family.
What I just did...
"Wang Leya, come here!" Wang Qin looked over with a warning look.
Wang Leya shuddered.
She clutched her mother's sleeve.
Xiao Wang was also very nervous. Her family had come to seek refuge with her eldest brother, but they had not expected to encounter such trouble before even entering the city.
No matter how careless Wang Qin was in his daily life, he was still the eldest son of the Wang family and the biological son of Pan Wang Tong.
The future pillar of the Wang family.
"Dad." Wang Leya was scared and quickly hid behind Wang Ershun.
Wang Ershun still wanted to speak for his daughter, but when he saw the hint in his nephew's eyes, he realized that although the family just now were criminals, they must be extraordinary.
"Le Ya, listen to your cousin." He turned around and signaled to his daughter with his eyes to be obedient.
Wang Leya felt aggrieved and looked at her mother. Little Wang was also in a dilemma. She wanted to speak up for her daughter, but was afraid of really angering her uncle's family.
Even if my mother's family is rich now, the people will not fight with the officials.
And Yaozhi will have to rely on his uncle in the future.
Seeing that there was no hope of asking for help, Wang Leya took two steps forward unwillingly and looked at Luo Fu, who had the support of her brother, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
But I still had to submit to my cousin's authority.
She muttered quietly, "I'm sorry."
Luo Fu is not an easy person to get along with, but now that she has someone backing her up, she naturally straightens her back.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you." She jumped out from behind Luo Huai with a bright smile on her face.
"You!" Wang Leya glared at him, her chest puffing up with anger. "I'm sorry, okay?"
Luo Fu was finally satisfied, and then she moved next to Zhu Mingqing and said with a smile, "We are a family."
I have already said one sentence, so a second one won’t make a difference.
"I'm sorry." Wang Leya groaned and ran back to the carriage.
Wang Qin was furious at the rude and insincere apology and was about to let her go when he heard Zhu Mingqing say, "No need."
The most important thing now is to go into the city to complete the handover procedures.
The sooner it is done, no one will use your identity as an excuse.
Moreover, for such narrow-minded people, living better than them is the biggest blow to them.
She also didn't think the two families would have any intersection in the future.
Why waste time on useless people.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wang Qin immediately said, "Wait!"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Because of his contribution to disaster relief in Zhencheng, my father was promoted to the position of Tongpan of Guancheng. If there is a chance in the future, Madam Zhu can come to the mansion to visit my mother." Wang Qin said.
Wang Lexuan nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, yes. Sister Zhu, please come and play with me when you have time."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes fell on Xiao Wang and the others, and he nodded absentmindedly.
This caused the Wang siblings to misunderstand, thinking that the other party was still concerned about their second uncle's family.
Seeing the other person gradually walking away, Wang Lexuan hummed, "I will definitely tell my father about what happened today."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang's face changed.
"Qin'er..." She wanted to say something, but the brother and sister had already walked away. She immediately called them to get in the car: "Why are you all freezing? Hurry back home."
Go find the old lady, maybe there will be a chance to plead for her.
…
Walking on the streets of Guancheng, Zhu Mingqing admitted that this place deserves to be called a place of exile.
It looks like a city, but it is not as prosperous as the previous Longquan Town.
After walking about a hundred meters, I only saw two restaurants and some shops selling daily necessities.
There were very few people on the streets, and the number of vendors could be counted on one hand.
The entire Guancheng looked like a stagnant pool of water. Zhu Mingqing was thinking about how to live in the future when he heard Liang He say:
"Madam Zhu, you guys go to the post station first. We'll go to the prefectural government office to handle the formalities. Only then can you settle down and live in the city."
Qin San led everyone to the door of a simple post station, then asked the manager to arrange everyone and hurried out.
Zhu Mingqing had just washed up and dressed when he heard a knock on the door.
When I opened it, I saw Wen Baolu and Luo Xiao.
The two men were much thinner than before, but they were more energetic.
When Luo Xiao saw Zhu Mingqing for the first time, he was so surprised that he wanted to hug him, but was stopped by the other party with a finger.
"Mother, don't you miss me?" Seeing her calm expression, Luo Xiao snorted.
Zhu Mingqing stepped aside to let the two in before saying, "I was just about to look for you guys. I'm glad you came just in time."
"Hehe." Luo Xiao's eyebrows danced pink, and after sitting down, he began to talk non-stop: "Mother, you will never imagine who we met in Guancheng?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "County Magistrate Wang."
Luo Xiao opened his mouth wide: "...How did you know?"
"Let's talk about other things. You set out ten days in advance. Have you found out the situation of this city pass?" Zhu Mingqing continued to ask.
Wen Baolu was about to speak when Luo Xiao interrupted him again. He was happy to be free, so he sat aside and listened quietly, waiting to add anything.
Guancheng is located in the northern part of Youzhou, three or four towns away from the real border. It is a support area in the rear of the war zone.
However, due to the environment of the city, there are often strong sandstorms. The east side is close to the sea. Once a strong wind blows, it will be terrible. People's houses can be blown away.
If they didn't have to stay for some reason, I'm afraid the more than 1,000 households today would have moved away.
There are about eight county towns under Guancheng, and the population of each county town is even smaller. Some villages have only a dozen households.
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing took a deep breath, feeling that the second brother had a long and arduous road ahead.
The total population of the city, the county town and the villages is only about 3,000 households.
They usually only had two meals a day, and the crops they farmed were mainly millet and wheat, with a yield of only three or four stones per mu. Add to that the taxes levied by the imperial court, and you can imagine that they were almost never able to eat enough all year round.
