Chapter 546: The Quarry (2nd Watch)
Su Rong's reputation in Daliang has already been thunderous with the rise of the East Palace, and the crown prince has been sitting on the throne of the prince, even in Nanhuai City, this bitter cold place, has a great reputation.
Su Rong no longer shirked when he heard this, "Then thank you Lord Wang." ”
Lord Wang hurriedly said, "Miss Seventh is polite, please." ”
Su Rong nodded.
So, Lord Wang led the way, Su Rong went to the quarry, and Ning Ze liked to join in the fun, chased after Feng Ling, and followed.
On the way, Lord Wang asked tentatively: "Miss Seven, why ......did you bring so many soldiers and horses here?"
Su Rong glanced at him, "Lord Wang is curious?" ”
Lord Wang suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly said, "No, the lower officials are not curious. ”
His back was soaked in cold sweat because of Su Rong's eyes, and he desperately recalled the years of being an official, in Nanhuai City, did he do anything to disrupt the court, he felt that it didn't seem to be, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't do the trivial thing of embezzling and embezzling ink and accepting bribes, after all, the emperor was far away, and the people who were sent here by the court were all sinners and sinners, and he bullied it, right? If he doesn't discipline people ruthlessly, he can't discipline them, after all, there are often prisoners who escape, and it is only right that he has to manage this place so that no one dares to run.
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I'm not here for you." Su Rong gave him a reassuring pill.
Lord Wang was immediately greatly moved, and the whole person came to life because of this sentence, and said while wiping his sweat: "Thank you Miss Seven, our Nanhuai City is desolate, bitter, cold and barren, and there are all kinds of prisoners, including Jiangyang thieves, peddlers and pawns, and the families of bureaucrats in distress. ”
Su Rong nodded, when the water is clear, there are no fish, she understands this truth, and Prince Yan Echo understands it even better.
In the quarry, on a cold day, the soldiers beat the prisoners with leather whips and urged the lazy prisoners to do their work, and as far as the eye could see, the whole mountain was full of ragged people working under the strong supervision of the soldiers.
Lord Wang said cautiously: "The prince of the Protector Mansion has asked people to hand over a message to the lower officials, so that the lower officials can take a little care of the Qin family, especially Qin Ruo. The lower official didn't want to save the face of the son on Thursday, so he arranged for the Qin family to do some light work, and arranged bookkeeping for Qin Ruo, but he felt sorry for his mother, so he and his mother exchanged the job of loading gravel into the basket. ”
Su Rong nodded.
Lord Wang looked at Su Rong's face, and seeing that her expression was as usual, he was a little relieved, and beckoned to the person behind him, "Go and call Qin Ruo." ”
One of them answered and immediately went.
Lord Wang said to Su Rong: "The road ahead is difficult, and there is a possibility of falling gravel on the mountain at any time, and it is a mess, Miss Seven, let's wait here!" ”
Su Rong nodded, "Okay." ”
She looked at the environment in front of her, but there was no surprise, sinners in the bitter cold land are like this, the sunrise is made, and the sunset may not be able to rest. Those who have been sent here by the imperial court are not allowed to go out without summoning or pardoning.
She came for Qin Ruo, and she didn't intend to break the rules here.
"There's a greenhouse over there. Miss Seven, let's go wait in the greenhouse? Lord Wang asked again.
Su Rong had no opinion and nodded.
The greenhouse is used for the rest of the overseers, and it is very simple, but fortunately it is neat and not dirty.
With a wave of his hand, Lord Wang asked the people in the greenhouse to clear the field in advance, and invited Su Rong into the greenhouse to sit.
Someone brought hot tea, Su Rong was not thirsty and didn't move, Feng Ling and Ning Ze drank two bowls in a row, and the two of them sat around the stove, studying the stove.
Feng Ling commented, "This stove is very easy to use, different from the stoves sold on the market, the air outlet is not big, and it will not make a smoky fire, but it is very ventilated, and the charcoal fire inside is very strong." This stove is interesting. ”
"It's because there is a ground dragon buried underground, and there is a firebox here, and the smoke runs away from the exit of the roof of the firebox here, so it is ventilated and fire-resistant." Lord Wang explained, "This furnace was changed by Qin Ruo when he came, so although I let it go, the soldiers who oversaw this part took good care of him, and he didn't suffer any crimes, even with it, the Qin family was a little better than others." ”
Of course, it's only a few points.
These points have the face of Zhou Guyuan's words from thousands of miles outside the capital, and Qin Ruo's own ability. Otherwise, in such a bitter place, where the dead are not worth their lives, no one's face will be so useful.
In such a place, there are dead people every day, and ten or eight people die a day are not new.
After waiting for about half an hour, the man sent by Lord Wang brought back a very thin young man, the man was thinly dressed, his hands and face were bruised from the cold, his hands were frostbitten, and his face also had a small piece of broken skin.
But even if he looks like this, it doesn't detract from his good looks.
Dressed neatly and not in tatters, this is about the same as a decent person in the quarry.
Feng Ling tilted his head and said to Ning Ze, "Yo, this one looks better than you." ”
Ning Ze glared, "I didn't offend you?" Why did you pull me out and whip me? ”
Feng Ling Yile, "The truth." ”
Ning Ze snorted.
When Lord Wang saw Qin Ruo coming, he immediately stood up, "Qin Ruo, this is Miss Su Qi Su Rong, you should have heard of it, the young lady of Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Mansion is also the princess of Southern Chu." ”
Although the emperor still did not dare to tell the world about Su Rong's identity because of the emptiness of the treasury, he was afraid that Dawei would make trouble and had a reason to attack Daliang, but in the Daliang government and the opposition, except for a few civilians and people hiding in the mountains, no one knew her identity as the king of Southern Chu who was rumored to be.
Even if he was born in the bitter cold land of Nanhuai City, the rumors outside had already been heard, and the living sinners would listen to a few words of chatter and gossip of the soldiers when they had a little leisure.
Qin Ruo was doing his work, I don't know why Lord Wang wanted to look for him, on the way he asked, the person sent by Lord Wang to find him was full of words, saying that there was a woman who wanted to see her, I don't know what identity was, but Lord Wang was groveling in front of the woman, awe and respect, and the origin was not small, he only knew so much.
Qin Ruo guessed that his sister who had entered the East Palace, but soon shook his head in his heart, Qin Luan couldn't do it so far, and let Lord Wang grovel and be in awe of him. She is in the East Palace, that is, she is just a female official.
Qin Ruo couldn't think of who it was, so he simply stopped thinking about it, came to the greenhouse, and saw Su Rong, he didn't know it, but after listening to Lord Wang's introduction of his identity, he was surprised and surprised, of course he knew that this Miss Su Qi, in the past half a year, almost all of them were rumors about her, but he didn't understand why she found him.
Babies, monthly passes, what's the matter?
