Dai Nu's heart was as careful as a hair, and he naturally knew what Zhu Ao meant, and said very movingly: "Thank you to the prince, the concubine must be considered more by the prince, even if it is broken bones." ”

Zhu Ao pinched Dai Nu's face and said, "You can't break your bones, if you break your bones, who will serve this king?" Okay, we've talked a lot of nonsense, it's time to get down to business, that's what you little girl should do. ”

Dai Nu blushed, blinked, and said softly, "Lord Wang......"

The next day, Zhu Ao left the palace early in the morning, saying that he was going to see Tuntian, but in fact, his real purpose was to avoid Geng Bingwen.

Geng Bingwen always pestered him to ask him to reply to Lao Zhu's holy decree, Zhu Ao knew that Lao Zhu's small peasant thinking could not be reversed in a few words, and the best way was to let him see his achievements. Fortunately, Gansu is very far away from Nanjing, and it will take a lot of time for the envoys to go back and forth, so Zhu Ao's current strategy is to delay, drag it until winter and summer, and when the grain is ripe, Lao Zhu will naturally be more receptive to his own proposition when he sees the heavy ears of wheat.

The previous military household and the prisoner Zhu Ao generally understood, so this time Zhu Ao went to see the prisoners brought by Geng Bingwenxin. These prisoners were all related to the Lan Yu case, and in order to prevent them from being angry with themselves in a moment's excitement, Zhu Ao still brought more than 100 guards.

Those prisoners are all scattered, and the sergeants who are guarded on the spot, plus their own more than 100 elite soldiers, can control the field.

Zhu is most concerned about water conservancy construction, and if the various canals that were abandoned before can be rebuilt, they will be the main force of irrigation in the Hexi Corridor. Zhu led the people to the construction site of Yingke Canal, where the prisoners were working hard to get the one percent chance of pardon.

Zhu Ao looked at the group of dignitaries who worked hard and was very happy, according to this speed, in another ten days and a half months, this Yingke canal will be dredged, just by dredging the old canal in the Tang Dynasty, more than 400,000 acres of fields can be irrigated, Zhu Ao's heart is happy.

It's really pleasing to watch others work hard for themselves.

Just as Zhu Ao was imagining, a commotion caught his attention. A prisoner in the appearance of a woman fainted to the ground, and when a sergeant saw this, he immediately whipped her a few times with a whip, shouting as he smoked: "Get up! Don't pretend to be lazy here! ”

Immediately, a girl-like person rushed up and hugged the sergeant's arm, crying: "Master Jun, please do well, my mother is too tired, you let her rest." ”

The sergeant shook the girl away with a flick of his hand, and shouted, "Don't pretend to be garlic here!" Today's mission is not yet complete. Why are you so pampered? I can't stand it if I do some work. It's really what I'm used to for you on weekdays, hurry up! Otherwise, don't blame you're welcome! ”

The girl cried: "Master Jun, my mother didn't mean to be lazy, she was sick, please let her rest." ”

The sergeant was furious, he had so many things to do as a prisoner, he really thought that he was still the young lady of the previous eunuch's family, and he was about to raise his hand to beat him, but he felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone.

The sergeant turned his head and looked, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "The villain participates in the prince, the prince is a thousand years old!" ”

Although Zhu Ao didn't like people to be lazy on purpose, he didn't want to force people to death, he could see that the woman didn't deliberately pretend to be sick, so he came to stop it and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The sergeant said: "Lord Qiqi, this prisoner is pretending to be dizzy and lazy, and the villain is teaching her a lesson." ”

Before Zhu Ao could speak, the girl immediately crawled over, hugged Zhu Ao's thigh, and cried: "Lord Wang, is it really you?" Do you remember me? Please save me, save my mother! ”

Zhu Ao looked at this dusty, sloppy female named Hanako, and her heart was full of suspicions, she really couldn't remember where she had seen her, and wondered: "Who are you?" How could this king know you? ”

As soon as the sergeant heard this, he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and let go of the prince, the prince is a nobleman, how can he remember you as a prisoner?" "Then I went and dragged the girl.

The girl was like a person who fell into the river grasping the last straw, holding Zhu Ao's leg and not letting go, and continued to cry: "Does the prince really not remember? Not long ago, in the Jishengtang in Nanjing, the prince lent me money. ”

Zhu Ao suddenly remembered, and then took a closer look at this girl, and sure enough, he knew each other before, and he was surprised, and said, "You are Lan Yu's daughter?" ”

The girl said: "The prince really has a good memory, the sinner girl's name is Lan Youcheng, and she is the daughter of the late Duke of Liangguo." ”

Zhu Ao was very puzzled, frowned and asked, "Wasn't Lan Yu exterminated by the three clans?" Except for Princess Shu, whose surname is Lan, all of them are dead, why are you here? ”

Lan Youcheng knelt in front of Zhu Ao and cried: "Back to the prince, the people of the Lan family except for me and my mother and Princess Shu are indeed all dead. It's just that I don't know why His Majesty didn't kill us, but sent us here. ”

Now Zhu Ao is even more like falling into the clouds, what kind of calculation is this old Zhu playing? Why is it just because she is not favored?

Lan Youcheng saw Zhu Ao hesitating, as if his last life-saving straw was about to be lost, he hugged Zhu Ao's thighs and cried: "Lord Wang, please save me, I really don't want to live this kind of life again." Please save my mother, I am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse. ”

I don't need to say how miserable it is to be a slave, not to mention that the prisoners who are locked up with Lan Youcheng's mother and daughter are all related to the Lan Yu case, and in their eyes, it is Lan Yu who has dragged them down, so naturally they will not give Lan Youcheng's mother and daughter a good look. Lan Youcheng and her mother had a very miserable life.

Zhu Ao and this Lan Youcheng are also acquaintances, and she is not a bad person, but it is really pitiful to fall into this field, so he has the heart to save her, but when he thought that Geng Bingwen was still squatting here, this thought was immediately suppressed, why are all the people in the Lan family dead, but she and her mother are still alive? This looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.

Zhu Ao said coldly: "Pull her away." When the sergeant heard this, he went to pull Lan Youcheng like he had been beaten with chicken blood. Lan Youcheng was unwilling to let his last hope be dashed, so he hugged Zhu Ao's thighs and yelled, refusing to let go.

Zhu Ao said to the sergeant: "Her mother is not pretending to be sick, but she is really sick, don't embarrass their mother and daughter in the future, find them an easier job." ”

No matter how stupid the sergeant was, he could hear that Zhu Ao was helping the mother and daughter, and immediately resignedly: "Yes." Subordinates obey! "Secretly said that this little girl is really a blessing, and she actually fell in love with the prince.
