Liang Xinming was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the gate of Du's house, the two met again after a month.
Liang Xinming felt that Wang Heng was tanned, the skin on his face was wheat-colored, his eyes were still bright, his spirit was very strong, but his momentum was slightly deep, like a sword returned to the sheath, hiding the edge, and only bursting out after the sword was drawn.
Liang Xinming bowed down and said, "The teacher has worked hard all the way. Has the Governor and all of you gone back?"
Wang Heng smiled: "Smooth." In order to provide disaster relief in Wancheng, I heard that the case of abduction and trafficking of girls had been solved in Huzhou, and more than 40 girls from Huizhou had been repatriated. Among them, Qianxian County has the largest number of girls, and the governor will personally send them back. As a teacher, he rushed over first, one is to settle the case, and then to inspect the construction of your Qianshan Lake Reservoir. β
Liang Xinming said happily: "The adults in Huzhou are really resolute. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they knew it.
After a few words of greeting, Liang Xinming let him in, and still lived in the original courtyard; he didn't go to the restaurant for dinner, and he ate at home when he was happy.
Wang Heng brought a few boxes of gifts to Chaoyun, all of which were characteristic local objects.
Liang Xinming hurriedly asked Sisi to bring Chaoyun out and kowtow to Wang Heng.
When everyone retreated, only the two of them were left in the hall, Wang Heng looked at Liang Xinming carefully, and felt that she had gained a little weight, and her face was ruddy, and he was a little relieved. Because he laughed: "I haven't seen you in January, Qingyun looks a lot 'plump'." β
Liang Xinming said: "The teacher is also more graceful. β
Wang Heng squinted at her and said, "Does Qingyun miss being a teacher?"
Liang Xinming was very sure: "Yes! I think about it day and night!"
Wang Heng looked at her with blazing eyes for a while, and then smiled: "You joke about being a teacher, then you have to have a drink with your teacher tonight." Call Ziyi too. β
Liang Xinming smiled: "That's nature. β
That night, Liang Xinming, Wang Heng, and Zhao Ziyi had a drink in the courtyard, and Wang Heng told Liang Xinming about his experience of inspecting various parts of Huizhou in the past month and the inextricable relationship between Huizhou officialdom.
The three of them chatted until the third watch.
The next day, Liang Xinming originally took him to Qianshan Lake Reservoir at Wang Heng's request, and took a boat to visit the lake by the way, but early in the morning, he quickly reported that the governor would arrive in the afternoon, and Liang Xinming had to cancel the trip.
Near noon, Fat Fat rushed into the Du Mansion, ran so much that the flesh on his body trembled, entered the main hall, and said back to Liang Xinming and Wang Heng: "My lord, Lord Qincha, Lord Governor has entered the city, and he is almost at the gate of the yamen." β
Liang Xinming hurriedly got up and said, "Why is it so fast? Didn't you say afternoon." While speaking, he and Wang Heng got up and went out to greet him.
She asked Chubby as she walked, "Are the kids back?"
Chubby said: "It's all back." So many wagons!"
Liang Xinming and Wang Heng both laughed and quickened their pace.
Outside the gate of Dufu, I saw a large group of people and horses coming from the other side of the street, starting with the carriage of the guards surrounding Governor Lin, followed by a long series of carriages.
The streets were lined with people beating gongs and drums and cheering spontaneously, while the relatives of the abducted girls cried, shouted and laughed with the carriage......
The convoy stopped at the gate of Du Fu.
Liang Xinming walked to Governor Lin's carriage and arched his hand: "The Governor has worked hard all the way, please get off the car." After that, open the curtain yourself.
Wang Heng also smiled and said, "The governor has worked hard and made great achievements. β
Governor Lin bowed slightly to the two of them, and got out of the car with the help of his personal entourage. When he stood still, he turned around and looked behind him, and ordered, "Let the children get off the bus and pay homage to Lord Xie Liang and Lord Qincha." If it weren't for the two adults, how would they have returned home? β
Liang Xinming felt that his voice was a little deep, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Heng.
Something is wrong!
Wang Heng's smile also faded, and he watched quietly.
One by one, girls were helped out of the carriage, some were three or four years old, some were five or six years old, some were seven or eight years old, and some were eleven or twelve years old...... All of them are carved in pink and jade, like flowers and jade, and they are very smart. The captives are very picky, and the purpose of capturing them is to cultivate Huzhou skinny horses, which is of great use, and it is not okay if the qualifications are poor. Once they were taken captive, it was needless to say that food and clothing were good, and they invited famous technicians to teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, although these children have been taken captive for many years, they are more elegant and behaved more than at home.
The whole street suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at these girls.
When such a child is taken captive, how can he not let his father and mother break his liver and intestines?
The girls got out of the car, and under the guidance of their relatives who went to Huzhou to pick up their relatives, they recognized their families, and immediately hugged their heads and cried, and laughed after crying.
That scene brought tears to the eyes of the viewer.
Suddenly, a terrible cry rang out at the end of the convoy, "My sonβ"
The scorching sun at noon was like fire, but Liang Xinming shivered, and a layer of goosebumps was aroused all over his body, and he hurriedly looked back, but it was several errand servants who carried a coffin from the carriage, and the two women caressed the coffin and cried, knowing that it was not good, and looked at Governor Lin.
Governor Lin closed his eyes and sighed.
The cry was so terrible that it suppressed all the laughter, and the other girls and relatives did not dare to be happy anymore, for fear of setting off the misery of others.
ββ¦β¦ My chick ...... It's all back, why haven't you come back...... I'm only thirteen years old...... Oh my God...... What's unfair...... My chick is only thirteen years old...... At what age do you know how to read......"
"Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of Niuniu!"
The woman in her forties cried and shouted, crawled on her knees, and walked towards the gate of Dufu, slamming her head on the ground as she crawled on her knees. Her man also knelt on his knees, crying, and at the same time hugged her arm and persuaded her, but he couldn't hold her.
Soon they climbed in front of Liang Xinming and the other three.
The woman raised a crying face, and complained back and forth to the three "Qingtian" through her hazy teary eyes: "My Niu Niu is only thirteen years old...... "She prostrate at Liang Xinming's feet, "Lord Qingtian...... Why are all the girls back, and my girls are in a coffin? I don't want a coffin, I want a daughter...... I cried for five years, thinking about it every day, looking forward to it every night, hoping for a coffin to come back......"
Liang Xinming recognized the man and the woman, who lived in the east of the city and whose surname was Wu.
Liang Xinming can remember them, firstly, because his daughter Wu Yan disappeared five years ago, she was eight years old when she disappeared, and they also came to Yamen to find Liang Xinming that day. Another reason is that the Wu family runs a shop that sells mulberry paper. The Wu family also has a Zhuangzi outside the city, hundreds of acres of fields, Zhuangzi opened a papermaking workshop, and the hand-produced mulberry paper was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in Liang Xinming's previous life. Liang Xinming likes this mulberry paper very much, so he often orders people to go to his house to buy paper.
According to them, Wu Yan was extremely intelligent when she was young. There is a Mongolian school hall next door to the Wu family, and Wu Yan's younger brother goes to school in the school hall. Wu Yan listened to the gentleman teaching the children to read through a wall in the backyard, and she remembered it after listening to it once. When the younger brother comes back, he will compare it with his younger brother's books and teach his younger brother in turn. Grandma Wu inevitably praised her daughter in front of people, but Wu Yan gave birth very well, so she was targeted by the kidnapper and sold.
