Chapter 46 The Song Family Being Beaten
"It hurts so much." Zhu Mingqing covered his head, looking weak, and coughed from time to time.
Luo Huai was frightened and immediately helped her up: "Where does it hurt? Did he hurt you just now?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded, looking frail and said, "It's my fault for offending Prince Wang."
Seeing this change, Prince Wang was stunned.
If it weren't for the severe pain in his shoulder, he would have thought it was a dream.
This woman is so insidious!
Liang He walked in with his hands behind his back. He turned to Master Wang and said, "I heard Master Wang wants to buy some medicinal herbs? And you're only offering half the price?"
Prince Wang glared at the woman and said to Liang He, "The price is negotiable, but I must take the herbs."
Liang He looked at Zhu Mingqing again: "Are you selling it?"
Zhu Mingqing shook his head, looking aggrieved: "I don't want to sell it. If the officials get hurt in the future, they can help me out, but with my current status, how can I stop Prince Wang?"
Prince Wang's blood boiled, "You just clearly..."
"Yes, I was in a hurry just now and saw that the child was injured, so I offended Prince Wang. I hope you won't hold it against me!" Zhu Mingqing interrupted him.
Prince Wang said angrily, "What if I insist on making a fuss?"
Liang He narrowed his eyes and said, "I wonder if County Magistrate Wang knows about the young master's forced buying and selling behavior. Why don't we go and talk to him about it?"
When mentioning his father, Prince Wang's face froze.
He did this secretly.
No, I can’t let my father know about this, otherwise he will definitely teach him a lesson.
Inside the inn, the officers seemed to have found their backbone since returning from Lianghe. They all stared at Young Master Wang, and the common people eating here were also watching the fun.
Prince Wang was afraid that the matter would get worse, so he suppressed his anger for the time being, but he was determined to buy the herbs back.
If you resell it, even doubling the price is a small amount.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Only after seeing him walk away did Liang He disperse the crowd.
Zhu Mingqing asked Fen Tao to take Luo Huai downstairs to apply medicine, and then he saw Song's figure.
Her face was calm, as if she had encountered this situation before.
Someone deliberately wanted to keep the Song family and make them unhappy!
Song was covered in dirt, and not a single spot of her exposed skin was intact.
She slowly raised her head, and when she saw the person coming, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared in a flash.
Tell the other person clearly, even if I really killed someone, you can't do anything to me.
The drizzle gradually became heavier, and the sky became gloomy and covered with dark clouds.
Zhu Mingqing also showed a gentle smile, and without saying a word, he picked up Song and took her back to the room.
Song's expression changed, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
After struggling to no avail, she turned to look at Liang He again: "Master Liang, are you just going to let her bully me like this?"
Liang He sneered, pretended he saw nothing, and went straight back to his room.
When Song appeared in public again, the corners of her mouth were bruised and she walked with a limp.
The Song family is really scared now.
My sister-in-law was so cruel yesterday. When she thinks about it now, she can't help but feel scared.
Far water cannot quench a nearby fire, and now her family members are not on her side. For safety, she should take care of her health first.
When she arrived at the city gate, she wrote a letter to her father, determined to find an opportunity to take revenge.
But what Song didn't know was that she would never have this opportunity again!
…
It rained heavily all night, and the water splashed onto the ground, creating a halo of water.
The rain not only did not stop on the second day, but it seemed to be getting heavier.
It is easy to encounter danger when traveling on the road in this kind of weather.
So, they stayed in Zhencheng again.
Liang He originally thought that it would only take three or two days at most and it might stop.
But by the fifth day, the ditches in the city were blocked, and the rainwater could not flow out, gradually reaching people's calves.
Zhu Mingqing began to get nervous. She was afraid that she would have to leave Zhencheng. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance.
Heavy rain was pouring down, and the streets of Zhencheng were empty. Only the occasional yamen runner hurried by, carrying something and running towards the east of the city.
At this time, many merchants were trapped in Zhencheng. Fortunately, the inn was located on a high ground and the materials were of good quality, so there was no rain at the moment.
But no one knows how long this situation can last.
Everyone was sitting in the lobby, talking a lot, and the atmosphere was tense.
Luo Huai came out of the room, found his mother and walked over slowly.
Because Zhu Mingqing came back at dawn, they were in a cold war before, but because Prince Wang came to make trouble, the relationship eased.
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyes, his expression natural: "Come on, sit down."
He didn't take the cold war of the past two days to heart at all.
Luo Huai, on the other hand, was obviously still a little stiff.
He nodded, his eyes fixed on the heavy rain outside: "If the heavy rain continues, I'm afraid it will cause flooding. We need to discuss a solution with Lord Liang in advance."
"It's not a fear!" Zhu Mingqing concluded, "It will definitely happen."
Thinking of what she had done the past two days, Luo Huai asked, "So, you bought so much food and medicinal herbs just to be on the safe side?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly: "Although the inn is relatively safe now, if the rain gets heavier, it's only a matter of time before we can no longer hold on."
I just don’t know whether County Magistrate Wang has taken any measures.
I hope he really puts all the people in his heart as described in the book, and doesn't fail to distinguish right from wrong like his son!
At this time, in the county government office, County Magistrate Wang had not slept for two days. He had a worried look on his face and was constantly hoping in his heart: The prefect must allocate funds quickly.
The fields in Zhencheng were destroyed, the houses in the city were leaking, and the people were crowded at the gate of the county government office.
The heavy rain blocked the roads, and we didn’t know how the situation in the village and the progress of the embankment reinforcement were.
Beside the Zhen River, County Captain Cao braved the heavy rain and directed everyone to reinforce the embankment, otherwise if it broke, everyone in the city would suffer.
The people living not far away also came to help. Their clothes were soaked and the rain blurred their vision, but no one stopped.
When the river water rose, some people even risked their lives and secretly came out with wooden buckets to catch fish.
Seeing this scene, County Captain Cao was so angry that his beard flew everywhere, and he wanted to go up and beat him up.
He shouted loudly: "Stop, it's dangerous here, go home quickly!"
The other person might have been frightened and accidentally fell into the river.
He couldn't swim, and the waves came one after another. As soon as he struggled to stick his head out of the water, he was swallowed into the water again.
