Chapter 200: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 40

If he wasn't sitting in the carriage at this moment, Lin Sheng would have wanted to applaud him. This was a good move. If it were in modern times, it might seem commonplace, but this was during the Southern Liang Dynasty, which placed benevolence, righteousness, and morality at the commanding heights. Even if someone dared to think about it, few would dare to do it.

Sure enough, 803 curled his lips and snorted with some disdain.

[The bunch of worthless cultural management groups in the court said that Chen Luodan's actions were the behavior of a villain, which not only affected the reputation of their great Southern Liang, but was also extremely offensive to the harmony of heaven.

So when they heard the news that he had killed more than 3000 barbarians without a single soldier, the civil officials immediately issued a manifesto to denounce him. The emperor also listened to the cabinet's opinion and ordered him to return to the capital within seven days to defend himself.

[Chen Luodan must have thought of this result before he did it.] Lin Sheng was not surprised at all by the court's reaction.

[I just don't know what his next plan is. I'm more curious about whether he can still hold the city if a fourth wave of barbarians attacks it?]

......

I originally thought that Chen Luodan's house must be in the wealthy area of ​​the city, but I didn't expect the carriage to go further and further away along the way. By the second half of the road, it was obvious that it was in the suburbs.

After driving for nearly an hour, the leading carriage finally stopped in front of a gate.

A servant came forward and knocked on the door. The old man guarding the door was obviously surprised that they came. After opening the door, he was stunned for a long time. Only after the servant's impatient reminder did he call his wife to come over and help him open the door with great effort.

Chen Luodan, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned slightly: "Why can't I find peace anywhere?" He also thought that with more than a hundred people, the house in the city would not be able to accommodate them, so he might as well settle down temporarily in a farm in the suburbs. It seems that this is not going to work.

Master Cai, who was sitting opposite him, shook the fan in his hand and said with a smile: "The master came here suddenly. Isn't it normal that they are not prepared? Isn't it better this way? You can still find something to do in your spare time, just like judging a case in the county government." But this time it was his own case.

Chen Luodan stretched out his hand and pinched his brow: "You know I am most impatient to deal with these household affairs. Just that little bit of profit is not worth those cunning slaves fighting over."

I haven't come here for many years. Even if they try their best to be greedy, they may not be able to get tens of thousands of taels of silver. Why are they making such a fuss?

Old Cai rolled his eyes at him. This kid has never lacked money since he was born. A handkerchief for wiping his saliva costs hundreds of taels of silver, and accidentally breaking a set of tea sets will cost several thousand taels!

Before he became the county magistrate, he always thought that an egg cost five taels of silver each. No wonder those in higher positions disliked people from aristocratic families. Their lives are better than their own, so it would be strange if they didn't want to mess with you.

Chen Luodan closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat in the carriage in annoyance: "Old Cai, do you think that Lin Sheng is weird?"

I always feel that she is abnormal, but I can't tell what's wrong.

Old Cai paused as he fanned himself: "Except for being brave and a little shameless, I can't tell anything else for now. It can't be a man dressed as a woman, right?"

He knew that the master suspected that the woman might be the real culprit who cut off the genitals of the county magistrate and his son and then hung them on the city gate.

But this speculation is really too unbelievable. Not to mention whether there is such a strong woman in the world, just the practice of cutting off the lower body, is it possible for a woman to do it?

Chen Luodan nodded and did not continue the topic. He was already in a lot of trouble and had no time to study a woman.

When their carriage drove into the backyard and stopped, apart from the old couple who opened the door just now, no one else appeared, let alone greeted them.

Chen Luodan's personal servant asked with a sullen face, "Has it been a long time since anyone cleaned the rooms inside the manor?"

The old man who opened the door was speechless, but the old woman standing next to him bravely explained: "We have already agreed with the village head Wang that we will pay one tael of silver a month just for guarding the door, and cleaning is another price."

What? Chen Luodan couldn't believe his ears. How could he remember that the lowest-ranking housekeeper in the family still had two taels of silver as monthly salary? Wasn't this Wang Zhuangtou a little too wicked?

"This tael of silver doesn't cover food." The old woman thought he was complaining that she gave him too much, and she cursed him in her heart, how could someone more stingy than Wang Zhuangtou come?

Chen Luodan's head was buzzing again. What was going on? If this got out, he would be laughed at by the whole world.

He was too lazy to say more and just nodded at Lin Sheng who was obviously trying not to laugh: "Mrs. Lin, take someone to pick a room." You guys are staying here for free anyway, so it should be okay for you to clean up by yourselves.

Lin Sheng tried hard to put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly, "I would like to thank the county magistrate for providing us with a place to stay. Please do me the honor of having hot pot with me tonight."

What? Hot pot? Although Chen Luodan had never heard of what this food was, he still raised his hand and saluted in return: "Then I will not be polite."

......

Here, Lin Sheng first gave Shen Liangzhou a silver note of 100,000 taels: "Go to the bank first and exchange these for small silver notes. When you go to look for people later, buy some more food."

Those dozens of people who had entered the city early in disguise are still waiting for someone to pick them up!

Shen Liangzhou looked at her deeply before stuffing the banknotes and the shopping list into his arms. He didn't expect this woman to trust him so much. One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, and it is estimated that this is the maximum reward that the Prince Liang's Mansion can offer.

This time, when he looked up, there was more sincerity in his eyes.

After Shen Liangzhou and the others left, Lin Sheng began to direct the rest of the people to clean up their accommodation. There were more than 160 people in their group, and they had to clean at least 40 rooms, which was a lot of work.

Fortunately, there was strength in numbers, and it only took them an hour to clean up the 40 best rooms in the manor. After waiting for another half an hour, Shen Liangzhou finally returned with dozens of soldiers in extremely shabby clothes, driving more than ten donkey carts.

The big donkey in the lead was the center of attention. As soon as it entered the yard, it started braying "Ang Ang Ang~". The donkeys behind it, which had been quiet, were also affected by it and started howling with their necks stretched.

Chen Luodan, who was practicing calligraphy in the house, heard the donkey's bray coming from the yard. His hands trembled and the word "annoyance" was completely ruined.

He put down his brush and went out to take a look. The overgrown and dilapidated yard had turned into a market. In addition to more than a dozen donkeys that were constantly braying, there were also dozens of villagers who appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing those people busy moving things into the house, he nodded in understanding: They were the farmers delivering food and vegetables.
