"Thank you."

Wei Hu just whispered

"I have to be loyal to the trust of others. Although I am only a yamen runner, I have also been impressed by the Lu family's strong character. However, I am too insignificant to do anything.

I hope Miss Jiang takes good care of herself, maybe she will be able to return to the capital someday."

"I hope so, Officer Wei. Take care on your journey."

After Wei Hu completed the handover, he took Li Si and his group away.

Next, Lu Jia, a government official from Bianjiang City, went to where they lived.

Nanzhu saw that the officer was kind and easy to talk to, so he took the initiative to ask

"Sir, where are we going now?"

The yamen runner said in a deep voice

"Go to the Lu family's place in the small outer city."

Although the Lu family's situation was relocation, it was actually a disguised form of imprisonment. It was just that their situation was better than that of other prisoners, and they did not have to do too much heavy work.

Apart from some corvée labor in the city every year, they can find some work to do on their own, but they need to pay certain taxes to the county government on a regular basis.

No matter what you do, you have to pay this money.

Yuzhu was surprised

“Are there still big and small outer cities?”

The bailiff patiently explained:

"The city was divided into the inner city, the outer city and the small outer city. The inner city was where the generals who defended the city and the families of the yamen runners lived, the outer city was where the criminals who were demoted lived, and the small outer city was where the people who moved away lived. The three cities were clearly separated and did not disturb each other.

If you want to travel between the three cities, you need a pass issued by our government. If you don't have one, you will be considered to have left without permission, and you will be punished with a lighter punishment or even beheaded."

Yuzhu didn't expect the management here to be so strict.

"Will our young lady also be arranged to live in the outer city?"

"No, she has a divorce letter, so she is not considered a member of the Lu family. If she is willing to become a slave, that is another matter."

"So where does our young lady live?"

"I need to go back to the county government office and ask the military advisor to find out."

Jiang Sheng's situation is the first of its kind since the establishment of Bianjiang City.

They had never heard of any young lady who, after receiving a letter of divorce, would voluntarily follow her husband's family to suffer.

This side of Jiangcheng, once you come here, you can't leave. Everyone is scared to death, but only this stupid person is willing to move forward.

So, she really didn't know where Miss Jiang would live or how to settle down.

But despite all the complaints, those yamen runners clearly respected Jiang Sheng very much. In their eyes, although this behavior was a bit silly, it was extremely affectionate.

It is really hard for them not to admire someone who is so sentimental, especially a woman.

"Will there also be a county magistrate in the county government of Bianjiang City?"

"There is no county magistrate in Bianjiang City."

Yuzhu wanted to ask something, but the guard pointed to the small city gate in front.

"Come through this door, and you'll reach the small outer city."

As the yamen runners entered the small outer city, they found that there were obviously fewer people here than in the outer city.

Moreover, most people are dressed much better than those in the outer cities. There are also many people setting up stalls here, but it is not as lively as in the outer cities.

The bailiff led them through many twists and turns into an alley, then pointed to a dilapidated small courtyard and said:

"This is the house that the Lu family was allocated according to their population. It has not been repaired for a long time and is a bit shabby."

Yingyue looked at the crumbling door and couldn't help complaining

"This is not shabby at all, this is clearly..."

"Yingyue, shut up."

Jiang Sheng said to the bailiffs

"Sir, are there any other houses in the outer city?"

The yamen runners did not mean to make things difficult for them, but there were not many houses in the city that could accommodate so many of them.

"If you can live separately, of course you can. This is the only house that can accommodate so many people at the same time."

Jiang Sheng thought, it seems like I have no choice but to rebuild it.

"Sir, we are new here. If we want to hire someone to repair the house, where can we find someone?"

"You can go to the gate of the county government office and post a notice, clearly stating what you will be doing and how many people you will need, and people will come."

"Thank you."

The bailiff bowed and then left with his men.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Jiang Sheng not to wander around. He would come back to settle her down after asking at the county government office.

Lu Zhiqing, Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu could not accept the fact that Jiang Sheng did not live with them.

As soon as the guard left, the three of them gathered together to wipe their tears.

Lu Xiaosi: They were both wiping their tears, and I was watching from the side.

Lu Xiaowu: You are noble and you are amazing.

Lu Zhiqing:........

Jiang Sheng loved them very much, so when he saw them like this, he quickly came over to comfort them.

"Once I'm settled, I'll get a pass and come here every day, okay?"

Lu Xiaowu cried and sobbed

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

The poison in Wen Chuan and Second Uncle has not been cured yet, and Third Uncle's illness has not been cured yet, so naturally she has to come here.

I had wanted to cure them before arriving here, but the journey was very bumpy, and I had to use up my points several times. The points I had were getting less and less, which delayed things.

She never dared to forget the sign-in. She had been living peacefully these days and had accumulated a lot of money. She decided to wait until she was settled and then detoxify her second uncle and Wen Chuan. Lu Zhiqing and Lu Xiaowu stopped crying after hearing her solemn promise.

Lu Zhengchuan pushed open the dilapidated door and walked into the yard.

“Although this place is a bit run-down, the layout is still acceptable.”

Ye Rong walked around the house

"There are kangs here, so firewood is definitely needed in winter."

Qin Shu looked at the broken window

"All these windows need to be renovated, otherwise it will be cold."

Lu Ming looked around the house and came back.

"There's a little vegetable garden out back, and a barn, but the barn is only big enough for one horse."

Jiang Sheng thought about it and said

"Now that we are here, there is no need to keep so many horses. I will ask Yingqiu to go out and ask around to see where we can sell them."

"That's fine too."

After looking around, everyone had a general understanding of the areas that needed repair.

Jiang Sheng said to Yingqiu and Nanzhu

"Yingqiu, Nanzhu, the two of you go out and ask around, and write a recruitment notice."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuzhu looked at the abandoned house and had no idea where to start.

"Miss, where will the Madam and the others live while the renovations are underway?"

Jiang Sheng looked around

"This house is leaky everywhere. It's definitely uninhabitable. If nothing works, we'll have to stay in an inn first."

Lu Zhiqing volunteered

"Then I'll take Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to the inn outside to check out the situation."

"Okay, I'll leave you some extra money later. Don't be reluctant to leave. Your grandparents are old, your mother is pregnant, and there are two sick people, so don't look for a place with bad conditions."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know."

Not long after, Yingqiu and Nanzhu came back, along with the yamen runners who had just left.
