The guard, trembling, quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.
Lord Liu apologized to Qiao Lian'er, saying, "Miss Qiao is a young hero, which is unbelievable to many people. This blind and mindless person has offended you, please don't take it to heart."
Qiao Lian'er had not expected Lord Liu to react so strongly.
This is the deterrent power of military authority.
The garrison commanded an army, wielding the power of life and death, and was responsible for protecting the region. Even the local government offices were subject to the garrison's protection, hence their respectful attitude.
Although the Guan Ning cavalry was not stationed in Yongguan County, if a battle broke out here, the army from there would come over.
“Lord Liu, I am too young, so it is only right that I be vigilant while on guard,” Qiao Lian’er said.
“Miss Qiao is very generous. Please come into the main hall for a chat.”
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "There's no need to trouble Lord Liu. Besides, I have other matters to attend to. I came to see Lord Liu to get these children registered."
Liu Dashen glanced at the boys behind her. He remembered them; these kids had been arrested several times before, but they had been much more well-behaved in the past six months.
He was probably influenced by strategist Qiao.
"That's easy. As long as we find a place where no one lives, we can settle down and register our household registration."
"Yes, there is an abandoned courtyard in Qingyang Lane where they live. Could they stay there?"
Qiao Lian'er then raised her question: "I heard that the original owner hasn't returned for several years. I wonder if he really didn't want this house anymore. If the original owner comes back, then I'll choose another place for them."
Lord Liu waved his hand: "I know this abandoned house. The original owner was a man who lived alone. He fell off a cliff and died a few years ago. The yamen has already examined the body, but it has not been made public. So you can rest assured to register your household there."
"However, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay together as friends. It would be fine if they stayed together as family or brothers."
The children nodded in agreement; they couldn't agree more, they were best friends after all.
"Miss Qiao is busy, don't keep her waiting, go and do it quickly," Lord Liu instructed his advisor.
And so, their household registration was easily obtained, and these children became five brothers recognized by law.
Handing the household registration book to Qiao Lian'er, Lord Liu said politely, "If Miss Qiao needs anything, I will gladly lend a hand."
"Miss Qiao is also welcome to visit often."
Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but sigh, having a little something to rely on really makes things easier.
On the way back, the children's eyes sparkled, their mouths stretched almost to their ears, and they didn't even ride in the carriage, but ran along the way, so happy they felt like they could fly.
They are now ordinary citizens, no longer migrants or unregistered residents.
In the future, we will no longer have to suffer from such cold looks and ridicule.
Seeing the children so happy, Qiao Lian'er felt bright and cheerful herself.
She stroked her chin, realizing that the children had gotten a yard for free, so they were still considered lucky.
The head of the household died, and the courtyard should have been taken over by the county government. However, Magistrate Liu did not have the children driven out, which showed his kindness. Hmm, this magistrate is not bad.
With the children's residency issue resolved, Qiao Lian'er went to buy a shop.
This time, she's going to go on a shopping spree.
