"Lord Wang, everyone has been brought, a total of thirty-eight widows!" Steward Jin gave Zhu Zilong a light salute, and a group of young women stood behind him.

These women were all after Wu used that gang to kill Shi En's father and son, as well as Zhang Dujian. When the rebels killed people and set fires, the families of innocent victims who unfortunately suffered a catastrophe!

That's it, not including Zhang Dujian and others, as well as Jiang Wen and others.

Zhu Zilong nodded, stood up and pointed to these crying women, and walked to Wu Yong's family and Chao Gai's family. He frowned and said, "This king knows that you are not convinced, but look at these poor women." How many wrong things your sons have done, and they still call themselves heroes. Such a character can be regarded as a hero, is it true that everyone in my Great Song Dynasty is a fool? ”

Wu Yong's family and Chao Gai's family had panicked expressions for a while, but they were silent.

"Lord Wang, my son is also a beast. Xiao Lao'er must sever the father-son relationship with him, and forever remove his name from the ancestral genealogy, such disloyal and unfilial people. We won't admit it! When I was young, an old man came out to speak on behalf of the Wu family.

"Hmph, it's normal for such rebels to remove their ancestral genealogy. However, you also have the sin of lax discipline, and I am the ancestor and the scholar, but you are not among them. Even if there is no capital punishment, only one less wife is exiled, the minister of Ben Chin still has the right to decide. Zhu Zilong snorted coldly.

As soon as they heard that Zhu Zilong was going to exile them as wives, Wu Yong's family and Chao Gai's family suddenly turned pale with fright.

"Lord Wang, spare your life, I really don't know. is willing to scatter all the family wealth and help the victim's family, just ask the prince to open up! ”

-

"Wife", that is, when the prisoner is assigned, the prisoner's wife must be sent together, and other relatives who are willing to accompany him are also allowed to do so of their own volition, and the expenses of the entourage on the way to exile are all borne by the government.

When they arrived in the penal colony, they were able to live together with their families, either as errands or as farms.

The intention of this is, according to the official statement, that the humanistic care of the emperor is immense. In fact, the real purpose is to fear that the prisoner will escape, so that the exile can serve his sentence in the place of exile with peace of mind.

In the past, if a fugitive was caught, he would be brought to justice on the spot without saying a word. Since the implementation of the "wife" policy, this situation has been greatly improved, and those who drag their families and families have to endure no matter how hard and tired they are.

However, these are the laws of the old calendar. Nowadays, whether the wife of a prisoner wants to be exiled or not can be accompanied. Probably no one willing!

Just like Lin Chong was almost exiled, most people would not want their wives and children to accompany them to endure hardships together.

Of course, the hardships are still this time, and the journey is too hard, which is even worse than Tang Sanzang's Western Classics. Most of them either fell ill halfway through, or suffered inhuman torture and endless humiliation.

In addition, most of the accompanying children are "young and weak, carrying swaddling clothes, traveling long distances, hungry, cold, wind and rain, and preparing for hardship", and the mortality rate is very high!

"It's okay just to be willing to atone for your sins, not to be exiled or to have a wife. In the coming day, I will ask someone to take you back to your hometown, and you will be compensated for the family property as soon as possible. It's also considered a crime! Zhu Zilong saw that these people were very understanding, and his expression softened slightly.

And the widows who heard that there was some compensation could not help but rejoice on their faces.

In fact, most of them were side chambers and contract workers, and according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, they could not get any property from the master's family. Unless the man's family is completely dead, he can get a small share of the pitiful possessions, and then the rest will be confiscated.

This is also the reason why Jiang Wen is now making Wang Zhizhou's people have a sad face in just a few days, but they are helpless.

However, now Zhu Zilong looks like Wei Guangzheng. In fact, when he really got the money afterwards, when he came to distribute it to these widows, he might take out a third of it at most.

Of course, even if they knew that Zhu Zilong only gave them one-third, it is estimated that these widows would not be unhappy at all. Anyway, I didn't expect to get it, and the family's property was difficult to protect. Now it's a windfall, what else?

As soon as he finished dealing with it here, he waved his hand to take Wu Yong's family and Chao Gai's family away. Zhu Zilong sat down and took a look again, and the gangsters who were kneeling there on the right, waiting for the drop.

These are the people who were just giving eye drops to these widows of the Happy Forest and Jiang Wen and others.

If he hadn't guessed that the person standing behind these people might be Wang Zhizhou, he would have inadvertently bumped into Zhu Zilong a few times without knowing them just now.

It may be too much to condemn them to a thorn to fill the army, but if they must do so, it is also reasonable.

Zhu Zilong, who was sitting there, looked at the IOUs seized from the gangsters on the table. Picking up one of them, he raised his hand and said to one of the bastard leaders, "You say that these women owe you money, but do you dare to do it? ”

"So that the prince knows, little Zhu Rourong. We waited for the pork money supplied to the Jiang family and the Zhang family, and we often paid it for months in arrears. Now there are many final payments that have not been recovered, but the main family is dead, and we also have to eat. It can only be asked, which may be excessive, but it is true. The other party replied.

It turns out that these people are pig killers?

Zhu Zilong glanced sideways slightly, but then the same. Can't it be the thugs and other people's flags that kill pigs?

In the Great Song Dynasty, the butcher was not only a butcher, but also a symbolic thing. It can be described as multi-purpose!

The so-called poor and rich martial arts, these guys are used to seeing blood, and in addition to often eating meat and being strong, they can be said to be born as third- or fourth-rate masters. And everyone has some spare money at home, and the people are very afraid of them.

And the butchers in every place will gang up and get used to monopolizing business. Therefore, the butcher is a bit of a bully gang in the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is not black, it is considered black.

Moreover, Zhu Zilong felt that these butcher gangsters in front of him were very unreasonable. So sing about blackface!

How can it be said that Jiang Menshen used to be the first brother among the butchers, why did you people turn against each other as soon as he died?

Even if the new master standing behind him is Wang Zhizhou, the necessary vigilance is still needed. After all, in the future, Zhu Zilong planned to let Wu Song and Yang Zhi gain a foothold here and take over the official positions of Zhang Dujian and Shi En's father.

And this is an excellent transit station area, which is very suitable for development, and it is necessary to control it in your hands.

It is impossible for one person to swallow alone, and Wang Zhizhou can add five to one, and one person accounts for half. Even if it can't be occupied, one-third of one person, keep the neutral zone buffer. It's not impossible to collect protection fees again!

Therefore, Zhu Zilong called the bookkeepers in the team over.

It was a person in the ancient Chinese government who was responsible for examining the corpse, but few people still knew about it, and there was another kind called Shuzhi Zhuzuo. It's a bit like the handwriting verifiers of the 21st century!

Because most of the physical evidence in ancient times was letters, and there was no computer to make copies in this era, a person's handwriting could easily become a kind of evidence.

So, over time, a kind of professional handwriting verification personnel was born. It's one of the branches of the Crafts!

Shuzhi went forward to check these IOUs one by one, and soon came to a conclusion.

Said: "Lord, half of these IOUs are too fresh, and from the perspective of color and public, they are still the last two or three days. Obviously, it is unlikely to be consistent with the above basis time, judging from this point, the small head dare to be guaranteed. ”

This means that only about half of these IOUs are fake!
