Crossing town house man and wife

Because they didn't inform anyone when they left, and there was a lot of delay in trying out weapons, when Wu Ming and Yan Heng returned to the Sheriff's Mansion, Yan Heng's cronies had already become ants on the hot pot.

Seeing Yan Heng returned safely, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then dragged Yan Heng to the front yard, as if something urgent had happened.

Wu Ming didn't go with Yan Heng, and went back to the tent in the backyard alone, and called Aunt Lao and Huobi in.

"I'm going to leave for a while." Wu Ming said straight to the point, "It's possible that I won't come back."

"Madam?" Aunt Lao and Huobi couldn't help being taken aback.

Wu Ming didn't explain, just raised his index finger and shook it, signaling Aunt Lao and Huobi not to dissuade him, and then continued: "The dividends sent by Yao Zhong are still there?"

"Mrs., they are all here." Aunt Lao bowed in response.

"Take out part of it and hide it, and say that I took it. If I don't come back, the money will be your reliance in the future." Wu Ming said lightly.

He once thought of taking tortoiseshell as his apprentice.This little girl has the courage and determination to resist fate, and also knows how to judge the situation, endure when necessary, and stand up when it is critical.But after all, this little girl still lacked the decisiveness he was most looking forward to, or to put it in a more euphemistic way in later generations, she lost a little fate with him.

Wu Ming also wanted to properly arrange these people around him, including Osmanthus fragrans, but in this age and environment, unless one of him and Yan Heng was willing to stay, otherwise, they would eventually have to fend for themselves.

Wu Ming would not stay for Yan Heng, let alone for them.

And Yan Heng, even more so.

"Take care of the sweet-scented osmanthus as much as possible, but don't give her the money." Wu Ming's tone remained calm, "If you have other plans, such as getting out of slavery or leaving the county guard's mansion, tell me as soon as possible. I... well, before tomorrow morning."

"Madam, you and the lord..." Tortoise couldn't help but asked.

"He's leaving too, you should know." Wu Ming replied speciously.

Seeing Wu Ming's answer, Aunt Lao also tentatively asked: "Will the trip to Xianyang be dangerous this time?"

Wu Ming didn't make a sound, just stared at Aunt Lao.

Aunt Lao immediately bowed her head and said, "This old slave has overstepped."

Wu Ming turned his head and looked at the tortoise shell, "Have you contacted your family members recently?"

Tortoise shell was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated, "Go back and take a look after the earthquake."

Seeing that there was no sadness on the tortoise shell's face, Wu Ming said casually: "It seems that nothing happened."

"Father and mother are fine." Tortoise shell paused for a moment, "It's just... my brother and brother's Xiaolang were injured."

"Ma'am, Hawksbill's family has been evicted from the Sheriff's Mansion long before the earthquake," Aunt Lao reminded.

"Are they involved in the rebellion?" Wu Ming was very surprised.

"Don't report what you know." Aunt Lao took a look at Tortoise Shell.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Wu Ming asked.

"The tortoiseshell girl thinks there is no need to alarm Madam..."

Aunt Lao was about to explain, but the tortoise shell had already opened her mouth and said: "They won't change, and if they stay, they will just make the same mistake again and again."

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, "Are they still in Xiangping?"

It stands to reason that those who have been wiped out of slavery and left the government can't take much with them, let alone settling down in a built-in house in Xiangping City.

"My servant... I gave them all the money you gave, and asked them to buy a house outside the city and set up some land..." Tortoise shell fell silent as she spoke.

Without him, Wu Ming's face turned dark.

"If you want to be a filial daughter, you might as well get out of slavery and go home and wait to get married." Wu Ming said coldly.

Tortoiseshell was stunned.

But before she could explain again, the curtain of the tent was lifted with a snap.

"lady--"

Yan Heng stepped in and seemed to have something to say, but when he saw Huobi and Aunt Lao were there, he immediately closed his mouth again.

Wu Ming waved his hand, and Aunt Lao quickly pulled the tortoise shell out of the tent.

Seeing that no one else was around, Yan Heng stepped forward, sat down beside Wu Ming, and said in a deep voice, "The Luo family's Zhuangzi outside the city was robbed, the warehouse was looted, many people died, and a few of the female family members were also lost. .”

"Oh." Wu Ming tilted his head and waited for the next sentence.

"The people who participated in the looting were ordinary people, and some of them were recognized as disaster victims in the resettlement site outside the city." Yan Heng paused, "These people went back to the resettlement site directly after the looting, and now they are was captured. But when interrogated, they said they were bewitched by you to act like this."

"Hehe." Wu Ming chuckled, "That's not wrong."

"Ma'am!" Yan Heng frowned, "Don't take everything on yourself!"

"It doesn't matter." Wu Ming shrugged disapprovingly, "Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, and if there is any shit, just put it on my head."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" As soon as he heard that Wu Ming was leaving tomorrow, Yan Heng couldn't care less, grabbed Wu Ming's hand and asked, "Can't you go on the road with me?"

"Hey, don't make trouble—" Wu Ming helplessly raised his other hand, and patted Yan Heng's head like coaxing a child.

Yan Heng's expression froze immediately.He had never been treated like this since he was a child.

"Seriously, don't make trouble." Wu Ming continued, "Why I left and what I will do after I leave, I have already told you in pieces. If you make trouble again, I won't wait until tomorrow , let's go now."

"...I want to lock you up with chains." Yan Heng hugged Wu Ming and buried his head on his neck.

"You can try it." Wu Ming replied unmoved.

After all, Yan Heng didn't try. He hugged Wu Ming for a while and then restrained his delusions. He got up and went back to the front yard to wipe Wu Ming's ass.

As soon as Yan Heng left, Aunt Lao walked in again with the tortoise shell.

"Ma'am, I want to take the tortoise shell and sweet-scented osmanthus to the west of Liaoning." Aunt Lao directly stated the reason for her request to see her again.

"Liaoxi? Do you want to settle in the immigration point?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and guessed Aunt Lao's intention.

One emperor and one courtier, not to mention that Wu Ming and Yan Heng have no descendants. If they all go away and never come back, the confidantes of the former county guard and wife of the county guard like Aunt Lao will most likely not be happy. It is luck to survive.Slave registration is not something that can be erased by changing the household registration. Instead of staying in Xiangping City and being discriminated against by others, it is better to go far away and become a rich master in a place where no one knows.But still the same sentence, all the descendants of Yan and Huang on the land of China are extremely xenophobic, and it is extremely difficult for an outsider to integrate in. Only the immigrant resettlement sites in western Liaoning can be relatively easy.

"Return to madam, that's right." Aunt Lao admitted frankly.

"If it's just you three women going there, isn't it safe?" Wu Ming reminded.Today is not a generation where the police uncle can be called with a single phone call. Single women have to face not only exclusion and discrimination, but also more realistic personal safety issues.

"If madam allows, I will take away another family of slaves and two young men who lost their parents." Aunt Lao paused and explained the reason in detail.

The slaves and servants in that family were a husband and wife plus a son and a daughter. They were also implicated in the last rebellion and expelled from the county guard's mansion. They only temporarily settled in Xiangping City with the help of Aunt Lao.The two Xiao Langs who lost their parents have been looked after by Aunt Lao since they entered the mansion, treating her like a grandmother.

If Auntie Lao went to Liaodong, the slaves and servants of the family would sign a contract of sale again, and serve as servants for her and the tortoise, while the two young men, like the tortoise, would act as her nephews and were adopted by her because their parents died unfortunately.

After listening to Auntie Lai's plan, Wu Ming waved her hand and told her to go out first, leaving Tortoise shell alone.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go to Liaoxi with Auntie Lao. She takes care of you now, but it doesn't mean she will take care of you for the rest of her life, not to mention she will take away two boys. When you all grow up, can you still get The money I left for you is two things." Wu Ming said bluntly, "But you are too young now, and it is difficult to make decisions for your own life no matter where you are. So, if you really want to go, I will not stop."

"I want to go." Tortoise said seriously, "If you leave with Aunt Lao, there may be bad results, but if you stay, there will definitely be no good results. I want to take a gamble."

"Then you have to be willing to bet and admit defeat. If the result is unsatisfactory, don't regret it." Wu Ming also sat up straighter, and said seriously, "I will not give you any protection, even the money I gave you You can only hand it over to Ms. Lao for the time being, and let her keep it for you, so as to save you from being soft-hearted and using my money to support irrelevant people."

Tortoiseshell lowered its head, bit its lip, and did not answer.

"I know you're not convinced, and you don't feel like you're doing something wrong." Wu Ming said coldly, "But I've said what I should say, and I'm not interested in repeating it now. Starting tomorrow, you and I will be on our own. Related. As for your going to the west of Liaoning, I will tell the sheriff, if he agrees, he will make arrangements for you; if he disagrees, then don't blame me. Alright, go out."

"No." Tortoise stood up and was about to go out, but soon turned around again, bent his knees, knelt down in front of Wu Ming, and kowtowed respectfully to him three times.

Wu Ming didn't make a sound.For this kind of formal gratitude, he has long been numb.

What's more, he didn't feel that he had any kindness towards the turtle.

At dinner, Wu Ming left Osmanthus fragrans who came to deliver the meal, and asked her if she knew Aunt Lao's plan.

"She... she told me." Osmanthus lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Then do you want to go with her?" Wu Ming asked.

Osmanthus fragrans didn't answer right away, she spoke after a while: "I...no, maidservant...want...to follow Madam."

"It's impossible." Wu Ming shook his head.

Osmanthus stopped talking.

Wu Ming sighed, "Forget it, I'll discuss it with the county guard first, and then I'll tell you the result."

"My maidservant...listen to Madam." Osmanthus fragrans' voice became fainter, but her tone was full of determination.

That night, Wu Ming didn't allow Aunt Lao and Huobi to wait on him, but when Yan Heng came over, he told him the plan of Aunt Lao and Huobi, and let him watch the arrangements.

"If your mother knows that I'm gone, nine times out of ten she will vent her anger on them." Wu Ming curled his lips and said, "If it really gets to that extent, I might run back and kill your mother in a fit of anger. Instead of that, how about It's better to send people away early to save everyone from worrying."

Yan Heng was speechless by what he said, and his original desire to do something before parting was completely dispelled.

But for Wu Ming, he has done all the things that should be done during the day, and almost finished all the things that should be said. According to his plan, the two of them will meet again in less than a month. There is no need to make it as sentimental as life and death. .

"The three of them will be handed over to you." Wu Ming patted Yan Heng on the shoulder, "Give me some snacks, don't pass them on to others and leave them alone."

Yan Heng's face became hot.

He really intended to do so.

It's just three irrelevant women, just reward some money and send it out, it's not worth paying attention to.

After thinking for a while, Yan Heng promised: "I will arrange for someone to send Laoshi and that young lady to the west of Liaoning. As for the sweet-scented osmanthus, I will find someone else to take care of it—how about choosing a husband for her?"

"Don't harm people." Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "Osmanthus fragrans is already frightened by men. She trembles when she sees me. She can't get close to a man. If you arrange for her to marry, why don't you just give her a rope and let her Hanging himself, after all, is a pleasure."

"Okay, I'll just find someone else to take care of her." Yan Heng replied helplessly.
