Escape after crossing

Chapter 138 New House

Jiang Ziluo could tell that some children were oppressed just to survive. Just look at these children, they have to survive so hard at such a young age.

The three of them looked at each other, and the youngest child said, "Girl, can you not look for them? You can look for other children. We will never bully them."

Jiang Ziluo could see that this person was really afraid of being bullied. Never mind, those who choose to bully others just to survive are all cowards.

Let's look for another one. It's easy to find a kid nearby to learn. Jiang Ziluo nodded, agreeing to the three of them. It was obvious that the three of them were relieved and not so nervous anymore.

"Girl, I'm back." Mingxi's voice came from outside the door. Mingyue was about to open the door, and the older child turned around and went to open the door a few steps ahead of Mingyue.

Mingxi looked at the person who opened the door, then looked at the other two children in the room, pointed at them and asked.

"Are these the three children from this morning? After washing and changing clothes, they really look different. Miss, I have already done what you asked me to do, but Prince Leng also asked me to bring two people with me, saying that you can use them."

Jiang Ziluo quickly asked, "What did you say to Leng Chenming?"

"Miss, I didn't say anything. After I gave the medicine to the prince, he asked me what I was doing and why I came back so late."

"What did you say?"

"I said that the girl met a patient and needed treatment, so there would be some delay. The prince was worried about the girl's safety and asked who the sick person was. I told him the truth."

"What about those two?"

"Outside the door. Do you want me to come in?"

"Well, call him in, let's get to know each other."

It was the older child who opened the door and called the person outside in. Mingxi came with Xuan San and Wang Wu, who was originally sent to find Jiang Ziluo.

"Wang Wu? When did you arrive?"

"Hey, girl, I just arrived in the morning as well, and then I was sent here by the prince."

"How much stuff did you bring?"

"Miss, we brought ten carts of herbs and food. We were traveling a little slowly along the way, so we were delayed for a few days."

"No delay, as long as they come, it's fine. Leng Chenming, the same, you have been running around for so many days, and they didn't even let you rest, wouldn't it be fine to send someone else? Xuan San, does your master always think of others like this?"

Xuan San scratched his head, but he didn't know what to say. His master, why didn't you consider others? Aren't you the same? But Xuan San didn't dare to say this!

Jiang Ziluo asked this without expecting Xuan San to answer her, "Xuan San, why are you running around with Ming Xi instead of staying by your master's side?"

Jiang Ziluo was originally teasing Xuan San, but he didn't expect Ming Xi to blush. Ming Xi stared at Jiang Ziluo and said, "Girl, how can you say that? Xuan San came to see you, what does it have to do with me?"

"Uh... I was wrong." Jiang Ziluo forgot that such jokes were not allowed in this dynasty.

The room fell silent for a moment, so Xuan San asked, "Miss Jiang, how long are you going to stay here?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with your master?"

"No, the master said that everything must be done according to the girl's instructions."

"Go downstairs and find Manager Liu, get the key, and prepare the carriage. We're going out for a while."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Wang Wu, take the three of them to the inn to rest. We'll be out for a while and will be back later."

"Girl, can you let me go with you? I, I really don't know how to take care of children!" Jiang Ziluo found it a little funny to see Wang Wu's embarrassed look.

"Don't worry, they are very obedient."

"Miss, we don't need to rest. Let's go downstairs and find the shopkeeper to see if there is any work to do. We won't leave or go anywhere. We will wait for you at the inn."

After that, the three children went downstairs to find the shopkeeper. Jiang Ziluo shook his head helplessly and said to Wang Wu, "Go get a room and rest in it. You probably haven't had a good rest in these days, and you've been running here again."

"It's okay, girl. I arrived this morning. I'm in Jiangdu City. I've rested. I don't need to rest."

Seeing Wang Wu's insistence, Jiang Ziluo stopped trying to persuade him. "Okay, then let's go take a look at the house we just bought and see what we need to buy inside?"

Several people went downstairs together. Xuan San was already waiting downstairs. "Miss, the carriage is waiting outside. Please."

Jiang Ziluo, Mingyue and Mingxi got on the carriage, while Xuansan and Wang Wu were driving the carriage outside. Xuansan had already learned from Manager Liu where the house was, so he went straight there.

It was indeed not far away, but the weather was hot and the three people sitting in the carriage were sweating. When they arrived at the place, they got off the carriage and saw a small path surrounded by land.

Jiang Ziluo looked around and couldn't help but ask himself, what was the person who built the house here thinking?

Xuan San and Ming Yue didn't think anything of it, but Xuan San pointed at the house and the surrounding land and asked, "Girl, what are you going to do with such a large property here?"

"I just bought the house. These are not mine."

Xuan San looked at Jiang Ziluo in disbelief. He said that when he checked the day before yesterday, these lands were still in the hands of the Qinghe County magistrate. How could someone else have taken over the land today?

But at that time, he only found the land, and he didn't remember there was a house? Mingyue didn't know about buying the house. She only knew that Jiang Ziluo met someone with the shopkeeper.

"Girl, the land around here is in the hands of the county magistrate. What do you want such a house for?" Xuan San asked in confusion.

"I just want to find a place to live so I can settle some people down."

"Well, this place is indeed suitable for living. It's not far from Qinghe County, and it's not far from the village either."

"Xuan San, what do you think the people who built the house here were thinking?"

Jiang Ziluo didn't know that this question was not difficult for Xuan San. Who made him check the Qinghe County magistrate just the day before?

"Young lady, this house and the surrounding land were originally together. They were given to the former county magistrate by a wealthy businessman."

Speaking of this piece of land, it can be traced back to ten years ago, when the county magistrate of Qinghe County was not the current one, but Wu Shiyong. After Wu Shiyong was transferred to Qinghe County ten years ago, some businessmen knew that he had the support of the second prince.

Everyone tried every means to give him gifts, hoping to get in touch with the royal family, and this also allowed Wu Shiyong to make a fortune. Otherwise, how did he get the money to bribe people over the years?

When this house was first given to Wu Shiyong, a beautiful woman was also given to him to live with. The house was also beautifully decorated and had everything one could need.

Wu Shiyong also came to see the beauty and of course slept with her, but Wu Shiyong was not interested in this kind of thing and got tired of her after sleeping with her a few times. He was also afraid that his wife at home would find out, so he gave her away.

This house and the surrounding land became Wu Shiyong's. Of course, it was not under Wu Shiyong's name, but every year there would be profits that went into Wu Shiyong's pocket.

Later, Wu Shiyong promoted the current county magistrate, and the land and house were given to the current county magistrate to look after. Then every year, the magistrate would gather at his wife's home to send money to Wu Shiyong.

The reason why the house was sold was that the county magistrate sold it to pay off his debts for his children. However, he did not expect that not long after paying off the debt, he owed another debt of one million.
