Unlimited Supplies: Custody Minister with Space Supermarket
Chapter 116 Things are getting more complicated
Yu Xiaolian spent the night worried and was not in the mood to have breakfast the next day, so she ran to Shanyue Residence.
When passing by the vegetable market, Aunt Ge grabbed her and said something big happened again in Yangcheng.
Yu Xiaolian was not in the mood to chat with Aunt Ge right now. She was just about to say that she still had something to do and we would talk another day when she heard Aunt Ge say quickly, "I heard that the Pan brothers offended the Prince of Huainan and were sent by the Prince.
The people who came here were thoroughly investigated, found guilty, and put in jail."
Only then did Yu Xiaolian remember that Aunt Ge's man was the cook of the county government. This news must have come quickly and accurately.
She was no longer in a hurry, and just listened to Mrs. Ge pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"I heard that several Pan brothers died. The deaths of Ji Da and Ji Er were also because of them.
Ji Da and Ji Er are such powerful people, yet they fell into the hands of the Pan family just like that."
Aunt Ge's mouth has not been idle since morning. When she catches someone with whom she has a good relationship, she turns into a storyteller and tells her what she knows vividly.
But I told no one, not even Yu Xiaolian, that I felt a sense of accomplishment. Every time I told this girl about these things, she always had an expression like "Auntie, you are so awesome and you know so much."
Aunt Ge liked Yu Xiaolian's unseen look.
Yu Xiaolian cooperated with Aunt Ge every day, and her expressions of astonishment and shock made her listen with gusto.
Aunt Ge's mouth went dry as she spoke, looking at Yu Xiaolian's surprised expression, she felt full of accomplishment.
Yu Xiaolian was extremely surprised, "So the Pan brothers are just waiting for Queen Qiu to kill them?"
Aunt Ge lowered her voice, "Autumn, what is autumn? From my point of view, you will end up in the death row accidentally in a few days."
Aunt Ge winked, as if she knew what was going on here.
Thinking of the plot designed by Jun Mobai in the book, Yu Xiaolian also understood a little bit.
But why is Zheng Yuanfeng so sure that Jun Mobai will take action to clean up the Pan family?
Could it be that Zheng Yuanfeng was also secretly involved?
Does Zheng Yuanfeng know Jun Mobai?
Yu Xiaolian, who had to cooperate with Aunt Ge in her performance, fully cooperated and supported her with all her strength.
I thought that this was all Aunt Ge had to say, but I didn’t expect that Aunt Ge had another breaking news.
"service?"
"The county government has been decided. Each household has one child. It is estimated that notices will be posted in the next two days." Aunt Ge said with an expression like "I have inside information and I can't be wrong."
Yu Xiaolian really had a dark eye on the ancient government's recruitment of corvees and didn't understand anything. "My father is a lame, does he still have to serve?"
"Everyone who is over fifteen years old and under sixty years old has to be recruited. Even lame people have to go. Unless your father is a scholar, then there is no need to go."
"My father is not a scholar."
"It's hard to do corvee work. Many people die every year. A lame man like your father who works slowly will be beaten there.
By the way, how many people are there in your family? Have the families been divided? If not, let your uncle or uncle go, it is better than your father going to die."
Only then did Yu Xiaolian realize that no wonder the ancients did not separate families easily.
There is one person per household. If there is no family division and a big family, only one person can be sent to serve.
"Auntie, I wonder if I can use silver instead of service?"
Yu Xiaolian was also a little worried. If the government wanted to force a conquest, Yu Changhe would suffer.
"Hey, you little girl knows a lot, and you even know how to use silver as a substitute for labor.
If you don’t want to be a corvee, you can be exempted from it as long as you pay enough.”
Aunt Ge knew that Yu Xiaolian was a shortbread seller, and because her mother was pregnant and hadn't done it for a long time, she doubted whether Yu Xiaolian's family could come up with the labor money.
Aunt Ge added, "The service fee only costs thirty taels of silver, and even ordinary people can't afford it."
Thirty taels is an ordinary person's savings for seven or eight years.
This has to be said when this family can make money and save money.
But even if the family has saved so much money, they may not be willing to spend it to pay for labor.
Therefore, most families would rather hire people than pay for labor.
Of course, no serious businessman is willing to do corvée work, and most of them will do so in exchange for silver.
But Yu Xiaolian's family's job of selling shortbread was three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Aunt Ge doubted that Yu Xiaolian's family could not afford thirty taels.
Corvee: Unpaid labor assigned by the ancient government to the people.
If you don't pay for it, it won't work if you don't go.
Yu Xiaolian was glad that her family now had the ability to pay for labor service in silver, but she also shed tears of sympathy for those families who were unable to pay for labor service.
Aunt Ge looked at Yu Xiaolian's expression and concluded in her heart that Yu Xiaolian's family didn't have the money to pay for the service. She said worriedly, "If you are really worried about your father, I have a way to make money. It depends on your willingness.
Did it.”
Yu Xiaolian looked like he was willing to be taught, "What's the solution?"
Aunt Ge leaned close to Yu Xiaolian's ear and said, "I heard from my family that if Magistrate Ke wants to make some kind of suckling rat wine, it's the kind of rat that is just born and hasn't grown hair yet. If it doesn't work, you can take your parents to the mountains to dig it up."
Let’s go to the mouse hole. When the time comes, you can take the suckling rat and send it to Magistrate Ke, and maybe your family can be exempted from the labor payment.”
Yu Xiaolian: "...Suckling rat wine?"
Is this thing drinkable?
She was really disgusted.
Holding back her nausea, Yu Xiaolian thanked Aunt Ge and planned to visit Shanyueju.
Before leaving, Aunt Ge enthusiastically told her that there were many rat holes in the rice fields and asked her to dig them.
"Remember, it's a suckling rat, not a furry one." Aunt Ge looked like she was just an ordinary person and I wouldn't even tell her.
Yu Xiaolian gave a stiff smile and walked away quickly.
When she thought of County Magistrate Ke's perverted way of brewing wine with a suckling rat, she got goosebumps in disgust.
When we arrived at Shanyueju, the store door was open, but there was no customer in the store. There were only a few waiters cleaning up yesterday's mess.
Zheng Yuanye was not in the store either. Master Ma said that Zheng Yuanye was called away by an adult named Fu and had not been gone for long.
Master Ma was also taken to the county government yesterday, and Yu Xiaolian asked him about it.
Master Ma said, "When I first arrived at the county government yesterday, the county magistrate and the master were asking the Pan family to question our shopkeeper.
Later, Mr. Fu came, holding the token of the Prince of Huainan, as well as the evidence of the Pan family's crimes against neighbors over the years, and saying that he was following the orders of the Crown Prince to deal with the Pan family severely.
When County Magistrate Ke saw that our Shanyueju had the Crown Prince as our backer, he immediately took advantage of the situation and spoke to Shopkeeper Zheng.
You don't know that according to the evidence provided by Mr. Fu, several Pan brothers were killed. Magistrate Ke said that he had no right to kill people and wanted to report it to the state capital for instructions from the prefect.
Who would have thought that Mr. Fu took out a letter directly, and he didn’t know what was written in it, but Magistrate Ke read it and sentenced the Pan brothers to be executed in court."
The person who helped Shan Yueju was actually Jun Mobai’s close confidant Fu Qing?
Yu Xiaolian had a hunch that things here were getting more and more complicated.
