Chapter 71 Xiao Fubao has a household registration
When Wang Xingwang arrived at the Golden Axe Gang, he was stopped outside the door by Jiang Hu.
"Hey, Mayor, have you come to the wrong place? This is the territory of our Golden Axe Gang."
Wang Xingwang was stopped by a young hall master. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it. However, he still had to say nice things and planned to go in first.
"Master Jiang, can you please pass the message on? I want to meet Mr. Lu from the capital."
Since Wang Xingwang became the mayor, he has never begged others so humbly. He always acted arrogant and domineering, ordering his servants to do things. At this time, he felt that this was a great humiliation and was trampling on his old face. However, Jiang Hu did not buy it.
"I am so sorry, Mayor. Our leader has said that except for the dogs and the mayor, no one else can enter the Golden Axe Gang. So please don't make things difficult for me."
After hearing this, Wang Xingwang's face looked as if a dyeing factory had been opened. He was so angry that he clenched his fists. Although he was in turmoil inside, he still tried his best to remain calm and composed on the surface.
Jiang Hu saw that Wang Xingwang was trying hard to suppress his inner anger and humiliation, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned and left. Before leaving, he also instructed the guard not to let the mayor in.
Wang Xingwang stood in the cold wind, trembling with anger, staring at Jiang Hu's back with red eyes, then looked up at the plaque of the Golden Axe Gang, a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
When it was almost dawn, Lu Jingyu woke up, and Lu Changxin, who had been watching over him all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the first thing Lu Jingyu did when he woke up was not to admit his mistake, but to ask for his sister. He had to see his sister immediately.
Lu Changxin was so troubled that he gave Lu Jingyu a good scolding.
"Uncle brought you out this time to broaden your horizons, not to let you come out to recognize your sister. You are the only one your mother has, so where can you get a sister from? You stay here quietly, or I will send you back to the capital at dawn. You were kidnapped this time, and I haven't scolded you yet? I will teach you a lesson when you get better."
Shen Qinghan immediately called a doctor to see the patient at night. Lu Jingyu was not seriously ill, but had some internal injuries, probably caused by being kicked. There were purple bruises under his ribs. He needed to be observed in the later stage. If he had no other discomfort, there was no need to see a doctor.
Lu Jingyu was also a little afraid of his fourth uncle. If he hadn't cried and made a fuss about wanting to go out with his fourth uncle to study, Lu Changxin would not have brought him out. It was Grandpa Lu who asked Lu Changxin to bring Lu Jingyu out to broaden his horizons. Grandpa Lu always believed that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
After the age of fifteen, everyone in the Lu family will be sent out by old man Lu to study for two years. Lu Changxin is already twenty years old this year, but he is still single. It is because he has been studying away from home and has never returned that old lady Lu can do nothing about him. If she forces him to get married, she is afraid of delaying the girl's marriage, so it has been delayed.
Lu Jingyu was frightened by Lu Changxin's threats and immediately fell silent. He couldn't be sent back. The world outside was much more fun than in the capital, so he didn't want to go back.
However, when Lu Changxin looked at the injuries on Lu Jingyu's body and the aura he unconsciously emanated, Shen Qinghan didn't dare to say a word and stood far away.
Shen Qinghan had promised his cousin's wife that no one would hurt Lu Jingyu. Now that he had been kidnapped right under his nose, he did have an unshirkable responsibility.
"Master Shen, I want to see the new mayor take office tomorrow."
Lu Changxin's tone was light, but it revealed an irrefutable firmness.
Shen Qinghan wiped the cold sweat from his head and felt a little nervous.
"Mr. Lu, it takes at least three days to get from Jinwu Town to the capital city. Moreover, the road is blocked by heavy snow now, so it will take half a month to go back and forth. This..."
Shen Qinghan said with some difficulty.
Lu Changxin took out a jade pendant from his body and threw it to Shen Qinghan.
"Take this to the county town to find your county magistrate. This little thing has to alarm the prefect. Isn't Wang Xingwang's reputation a bit too big?"
Shen Qinghan knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly put the jade pendant in his pocket and prepared to rush to the county town at dawn.
As the sky was getting light, Lu Jingyu pestered Lu Changxin again to go to the prison to see his sister.
Lu Changxin had originally planned to go and thank the young man who saved Lu Jingyu today, so he ordered people to prepare generous gifts and go together, but he was stopped by Lu Jingyu.
"Uncle, can you keep this generous gift with me first? My savior is still an exile, homeless. You are sending him so many things now, and he has to carry them with great difficulty. How troublesome. After he is settled, we can visit him and deliver the gifts in person. Wouldn't that be more sincere?"
Lu Jingyu didn't want to tire out his lovely sister's family.
Lu Changxin lowered his head and glanced at Lu Jingyu. When did this kid become so thoughtful? But it was not a big deal, so he agreed to Lu Jingyu's request.
"Then do you think it's appropriate for us to go and thank your savior empty-handed? Why don't we wait until they are settled, and then go and thank them together."
Lu Changxin made the final decision, and Lu Jingyu felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"Fourth Uncle..."
"Okay, no need to say more. I didn't punish you for running away yesterday. You should memorize the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites at home today."
Lu Jingyu immediately put on a bitter face and ran away angrily.
Lu Jingyu is a rare genius in the Lu family in a hundred years. He has had the ability of photographic memory since he was a child, which is why Grandpa Lu loves this grandson so much.
Lu Changxin took a sip of tea and continued reading, ignoring Lu Jingyu's temper. He knew his nephew too well, and he was sure that he would be memorizing his lessons obediently at this moment.
Old Lady Wan and her family stayed in the temporary prison for a day. When it was getting dark, a middle-aged man came to the prison with a servant.
"Are you prisoners from the Wan family in Beijing?" The man spoke in a low voice with a gentle expression and an elegant temperament.
"That's right." Wan Jinshu was supported by Zhao and walked forward with his head lowered and answered.
The man was the newly appointed town mayor, Qiu Shi.
"I'm the new mayor of Jinwu Town. My last name is Qiu. This is Shizi Village, the village you are going to this time. Because all the villages in that area are exiled prisoners, Master Lu ordered to try to assign you to a village with a better environment. I'm new in office and don't know much about the situation, but I asked the old people there and learned that the people in Shizi Village are relatively kind. But it's getting late tonight, so you can stay here for another night. I think the conditions here are not good. You can stay in the guard house over there. These houses will be demolished tomorrow."
Wan Jinshu and Zhao thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mayor Qiu, for your trouble. Please also thank Mr. Lu for us."
Mayor Qiu nodded in agreement, and the servant immediately handed a thin booklet to Qiu Shi.
After Qiu Shi took it, he said to Wan Jinshu, "I see that your number of people does not match the information you submitted. Can I ask what the reason is?"
Wan Jinshu said quickly, "It's like this. We encountered wolves, tigers, and blizzards on the way. Many people died. Now there are only these few left."
Qiu Shi sighed silently, feeling a little regretful. Although these people were exiles, their coming to the border at least helped to increase the population there. It was a pity that so many of them died.
After checking the names, Qiu Shi glanced at the little girl in Wan Ersao's arms and said, "Why is this little girl's name not on the list?"
Wan Ersao was so scared that she didn't know how to answer. She was afraid that these people would take little Fubao away.
Wan Xingmo had been secretly observing Qiu Shi's every move and knew that this mayor was very different from the previous one, so he asked Wan Ersao to tell the truth.
He was also somewhat curious about Xiao Fubao's origins. After all, anyone could see that Xiao Fubao was definitely not from Wan Ersao's family.
Wan Ersao then whispered, "We found this child on the way. He fell from a tree and nearly drowned. My husband fished him out of the stream. I felt sorry for him, so I adopted him."
After hearing this, Qiu Shi didn't say anything, but he had to register these people tomorrow, so he asked, "Does the child have a name? I'll write it down and register them tomorrow, otherwise the child will become an illegal resident."
When Wan Ersao heard this, she was overjoyed and immediately said, "Yes, yes, his name is Wan Hao."
Qiu Shi nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's a good name."
Wan Ersao finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but give Xiao Fubao a kiss on the face. Xiao Fubao would soon have a household registration.
Little Fubao also happily smacked Wan Ersao's face, covering her face with saliva.
That night, a group of soldiers came to the mayor's house and surrounded it.
