To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

When it comes to crying poor, Yang ranks first, no one dares to be second!

Yang sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying poor. "My lord, this is all hard-earned money. If I depend on my son to earn money for me, I'll starve to death. The monthly salary of ten dan from the Imperial College would be enough back home, but in the capital, it's so frugal. Books, inkstones, food, clothing, and other household expenses are truly a struggle. My daughter-in-law's dowry was spent because of lack of money, and she even divorced my son. Why is my life so miserable!"

The confiscated family was at a loss as to what to do. He rolled his eyes and said, "Li Xiaoru holds such a high position, how come your family only has so little money?"

Yang cursed even more happily: "We are not even related at all. I know Li Xiaoru, but Li Xiaoru knows who my family is. Oh, this damn bastard, my son studied hard for ten years and finally got a decent job, but he ruined it. We have never enjoyed a single day of happiness with his family. When he got into trouble, my family had to accompany him. Wuwuwu..."

The search and seizure of the property was quite eye-opening. The women of wealthy families were particular about walking without skirts and smiling without showing their teeth. He had never seen such a shrew as Yang, who had no shame at all and rolled around on the ground. The Li family did not see any of the noble character of a scholarly family.

The confiscator looked at Yang with annoyance and waved his hand: "What a disgrace! Search them all and take them away."

The police took away some jewelry on Yang's head, and took off the purse jade pendants on Li Wenting and Li Boyan. Even the maids, old women and servants were searched. The police held up the small bags and said that they were unlucky and there was no big profit in them. They also asked Yang, Li Wenting and Li Boyan to take off their silk shirts.

The servants were tied together with ropes by the officials. More than ten servants cried and wailed. They might be sold away to different places. They didn't know what kind of new owner they would get. The Li family treated them well. The male master never took advantage of the servants. If they changed to a new owner, their future would be uncertain.

The Li family was taken to an empty warehouse behind the yamen. After all, his family had nothing else to do but was implicated in that wave, so they just had to wait for exile. As long as they paid money, they could visit and send gifts.

The people imprisoned in this warehouse are all unimportant minor characters such as relatives, friends, and teachers who have been implicated. People like Li Xiaoru are imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison and are not in the same class as Li Wenting's family.

The warehouse had been in disrepair for years and was in a dilapidated state. As soon as Li Wenting entered the cell, he chose a spot off to the side that wasn't leaking. He grabbed two large bundles of straw and spread them on the floor. Yang pulled Li Boyan down and sat him down on the straw.

Li Boyan, a mere scholar, had never endured such a punishment before and exclaimed that it was a disgrace to his manners.

Yang slapped Li Boyan and said, "Old man, put away your polite attitude and don't eat or drink like that."

This time, the new emperor implicated many people. The prison was full and even the warehouses were full.

At noon, the jailer appeared at the warehouse door carrying a basket and said, "No one is allowed to squeeze in when the meal is served. Each person gets one steamed bun and one bowl of water."

Li Wenting queued up and received three steamed buns and three bowls of cold water. The buns were so hard that if you threw them on your head, they would make a big bump.

Before Yang could even eat the steamed bun, the guard called Li Wenting to come and visit the prison.

Xu Huizhen brought two servants with her, carrying large and small bags of things, including food, clothing, and fine cotton dark-colored clothes, dark-colored quilts and mattresses, and padded jackets for each person as it was still a little cold in the autumn nights. She also prepared a large piece of oilcloth to spread on the ground.

Comfortable open-toed cloth shoes, three large water bags filled with boiled water mixed with spiritual spring water, and various pills to prevent colds and treat diarrhea.

Xu Huizhen also carefully prepared a lot of long-lasting breads, which were the naan that she had stored in her space before. This stuff can be kept for a long time and tastes good. There were also dried meat, braised eggs, roasted chicken, braised meat, and two small jars of pickled vegetables for rice.

He also pulled out a whole jar of hot chicken noodle soup from his backpack. He also grabbed three sets of chopsticks and bowls. He also prepared some easy-to-eat snacks for the elderly couple, including two packets of milk cakes and honey three-knife cakes.

Xu Huizhen put the backpack on the ground and said, "You and your parents should eat the chicken noodle soup while it's hot. Our servants have already asked someone to buy some. You don't have to save the food. I'll come and deliver it every three days."

Xu Huizhen looked around and said, "Whisper that the price is clearly marked here. Don't worry about me and the child. My brother has already asked the main family to take care of it. The child is already out of the fifth mourning period, so it won't affect the child's future. You can let the old man rest assured.

At this time, the jailer came in and said, "Put your things down and get out. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it in three days."

It cost fifty taels of silver to bring in such a large pile of stuff. Even the servants at the carriage and boat shop should be executed if they were innocent. The people at all levels are taking advantage of the situation. The spoils from the warehouses are the best source of income. It's not a big deal, no one's watching closely, and this is the best opportunity for these jailers to make a fortune.

Li Wenting carried so many things in, the ten people in the cell were stunned. Is this imprisonment or moving? The Li family really has to live in the cell.

Yang was very happy. It was obvious whether she put in enough effort or not. The daughter-in-law she chose was considerate and provided her with food, clothing and other necessities.

Li Wenting spread the oilcloth over the straw and quickly scooped out the chicken noodle soup into a bowl, gobbling it up in a hurry. After swallowing the warm noodles, Yang and Li Boyan felt alive again. Li Wenting quietly told Yang what Xu Huizhen had said.

Yang clasped her hands together and chanted Buddha's name repeatedly. It was a great blessing that her grandson had not been implicated.

Looking at the snacks her daughter-in-law brought, the old lady ate three pieces in a row while wiping away tears: "Huizhen is a good child, and her in-laws are kind people. Wenting, you must never let Huizhen down in this life. You are not allowed to take in a concubine at any time. That is the root cause of the family's downfall, and the family's happiness will be broken."

Li Boyan: "You will be right to listen to your mother on this matter. She has managed the household so well over the years. A wife is a part of your life, while a concubine is just a toy bought with money.

Li Wenting listened attentively, thinking that this was all the wisdom the elderly had summed up in their dealings with others. It was important to listen carefully.

The people who shared the same cell with the Li family were relatives of Huang Shangshu. This family was also unlucky. They had just come from their hometown to curry favor with someone powerful, but they were thrown into prison.

The whole family was dejected and blamed each other. Why couldn't they be local rich people at home instead of coming to the capital to show off? It was really embarrassing to be running around in circles with nothing.

The Li family stayed in the cell for half a month, and friends and family came to bring them food. Life was bearable.

Early in the morning, the yamen runners came to count the number of people. The whole cell was in chaos. After counting the number of people, they tied the prisoners together into groups based on their families. As for the shackles, there were not so many of them. How could those who ate melons and went to farm be qualified to wear shackles?

This time the new emperor took decisive action, and there were thousands of people exiled. Li Wenting thought that this was because the Nurgandusi was short of people to farm the land, and the court wanted to find people to reclaim the wasteland there.
