Chapter 351 The Desperate Xu Zongzhen
"Qingqing, I have packed up all the things. There are three rooms in total." The little world spirit showed off.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and praised: "Luckily you are here, otherwise I would definitely be too busy."
"hey-hey!"
The little world spirit was overjoyed and flew around her.
Zhu Mingqing smiled helplessly, wondering who he had learned this from, but he loved to hear nice words so much.
Mr. Xu had quite a lot of wealth, including gold and silver, which amounted to 300,000 taels. This showed how much money he had embezzled over the years in Jicheng.
In addition, there were boxes of pearls, more than Zhu Mingqing had ever seen.
There were more than twenty boxes in total, and the pearls ranged from the size of a fingernail to the size of a palm, neatly arranged, filling all the boxes.
Zhu Mingqing took out one of the pearls, which was nearly the size of his palm, and knocked it curiously. "Where is this from?"
The little Jie Ling shook his head: "I don't know either, but if Qingqing likes it, we can raise it!"
There are now many aquatic animals in the river, and there is no shortage of clams.
But if you want to grow pearls of this size, it still takes some time.
I'm afraid that even in the imperial city, which is home to all the treasures in the world, such top-quality pearls are rare.
Zhu Mingqing put the things away and did not want to take them out for the time being.
In addition to these treasures that can be valued, there are also some unique calligraphy and paintings, which are rare treasures for some scholars.
I can find an opportunity to give it to Luo Huai's teacher.
Then there are some very precious and old medicinal herbs that are very precious to ordinary people, but to Zhu Mingqing, they are already common everywhere in the fairy palace.
It can also be given to Dr. Hua for his research.
Zhu Mingqing simply marked the belongings in the three rooms and would take them out when the time was right.
Then she came to a desk where a small box was piled on it.
This was taken out from the study. General Xu treasured it so much that he hid it in the secret compartment.
When I opened the small box, I found some correspondence inside.
I thought it might have something to do with the Xu family, but after opening each letter, I found that they were all related to the Huns.
Nearly fifteen years have passed since Emperor Jiancheng transferred the Luo family out of Youzhou.
And General Xu also stayed in Jicheng for fifteen years. It is conceivable what General Xu did privately as he was promoted from a small soldier to a general in just five years.
The earliest letter was the correspondence between him and Cha Kejue fifteen years ago.
When the Huns invaded in winter, in order to win the victory as soon as possible, he directly told the other side about the exploration route of a team of nearly 30 people.
Cha Kejue won the victory and received a huge amount of silver and food sent by General Xu, so he naturally withdrew his troops.
As a result, General Xu quickly broke the deadlock in Jicheng and ended the war quickly with only thirty casualties, which would have been impossible in the past.
But this is just the apparent result.
Who knew that half of the village’s strong laborers, women and children would be secretly lost.
Xu Zongzhen’s first attempt was just too much, but the rest of the people in the village were not so easy to bully.
The final result was to slaughter all the others!
And this is just the first test in fifteen years.
Every letter from the past fifteen years was stained with countless blood. The present situation of Xu Zongzhen and the Xu family was paved with the lives of ordinary people.
Especially three years ago, Xu Zongzhen began to plunder babies on a large scale, and all the children under one year old were sent to the grassland!
Although I don't know what it's used for, I found almost no trace of it during this trip to the grassland, so I know it no longer exists.
Zhu Mingqing flipped through the letters in the box page by page. The cumulative number over the past fifteen years was almost ten thousand.
Her eyes grew increasingly cold, and the fairy palace, which had always been bright and sunny like spring, suddenly made a loud noise. Silver-white lightning pierced the sky, startling all the creatures in the fairy palace.
The little world spirit didn't dare to chatter anymore and lay quietly on the table, planning in his heart that he must teach this person a lesson!
A full two hours.
Zhu Mingqing put all the letters back into the box, feeling very heavy-hearted.
No wonder the border population hasn’t been growing.
With such a heartless statistician like Xu Zongzhen, the population has not dropped sharply. This is already a great effort by all the people to survive.
If you think about it more deeply, is it possible that no one has discovered it in fifteen years?
The officials of Jicheng have probably been controlled by General Xu a long time ago. Even if there are people with conscience, they would definitely not survive to this day!
Zhu Mingqing deeply realized that in this feudal monarchy era, a word or an action of the upper class could affect the lives of millions of ordinary people.
Happy families will be broken up, and children who haven't grown up yet won't have time to understand the world...
Even though the world is full of filth, no one has the right to deprive children of their lives!
After all, even orphans are trying their best to survive every day.
She has never been one to meddle in other people's affairs, but now that she has the ability, she always wants to do something for the world...
"Mingqing!"
The call from the outside world rang in my ears.
Zhu Mingqing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with a hint of unknown anger and bright determination, like the rising sun in the early morning, full of infinite hope and warmth.
Luo Tingshan came back to his senses, his eyelids twitching slightly: "You...drew up in a bad dream?"
Otherwise, why would I feel so complicated?
He seems angry, but also helpless and hesitant, as if he wants to do something but is afraid that he may not do it well.
Zhu Mingqing blinked his sore eyes, coughed lightly, and wanted to speak, but his voice was choked with sobs.
She immediately shut up.
Luo Tingshan frowned: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. I will definitely keep it a secret!"
Zhu Mingqing pursed his lips, then suddenly stood up and looked up: "Luo Tingshan, I want to ask you."
"Yes!" Luo Tingshan also waited seriously.
"You want revenge, but have you ever thought about that position?"
Zhu Mingqing's sudden bluntness left Luo Tingshan stunned for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, his face tensed slightly, his deep pupils shimmering faintly: "Why do you ask?"
Zhu Mingqing didn't answer: "Just tell me, have you ever thought about it?"
Luo Tingshan's eyes were ambiguous: "Do you want to be the queen?"
“Ahem…”
Zhu Mingqing, who was staring at him motionlessly, was frightened by these words. A helpless expression appeared on her face. For such a serious topic, do you have to make such a big leap?
Besides, what’s so good about being a queen?
Don't think she doesn't know what the ancient imperial court was like, and the empress dowager is one level higher than the empress, okay?
Not only do they not have to manage all affairs, but they also have transcendent power.
She had high hopes for Luo Huai.
Zhu Mingqing cleared his throat and said, "Don't evade the question. Think carefully and answer this question properly."
"Is it very important to you?" Luo Tingshan frowned.
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "It's very important!"
