Chapter Ninety-Nine: Calculation
The movement of the city is not small, but this city is like being far away from all outside things, no matter what happens, no one knows.
After the outsiders entered here, they didn't go back. Suddenly, it was as if it had become insecure.
Those crazy people began to use their crooked brains because they had no source of livelihood and no desire to work.
Thinking that he was going to leave here with the immortal elders anyway, and the government was the kind that didn't care about anything. If you don't have a source of livelihood, what should you do?
Grab it!
As a result, many rich and noble families in the city were robbed. The warehouses were opened, the grain and wealth were robbed, and even their own homes were broken into by the same group of people, and whatever they saw was good, they took away what was valuable.
If someone comes to reprimand and stop them, one of them will hold a stick and knock the person who stopped him to the ground.
The entire city was turned upside down.
The small courtyard where they lived may have not been touched for the time being because it looked unsightly from the outside and was far away from the bazaar.
But despite this, shouts from the outside world can be heard almost every day. From the previous bustling town, it has directly become a hell on earth.
Every day, people at the door of the prefect went to bang on the door and shout grievances, but the prefect didn't do anything, because he couldn't control it.
Although the prefect looks mediocre on weekdays, he still has years of experience immersed in officialdom, and he understood something early.
Therefore, the people of Fucheng kept making noise, but the door of the prefect's house was tightly closed. He had been secretly rubbing and trying to run. Let your own people pack up their things in advance.
The monk ignored him because he knew that he would not dare to do or say anything.
The prefect's wife and children felt that he was doing too much, but every time he wanted to say something, once it involved these monks who came to the city, the prefect's smiling face would become urgent.
"What are you thinking!Is that the one you can provoke?!"
The prefect saw his wife bowing her head and crying when she was reprimanded, and her face turned blue with anger.
He didn't explain it to his own people. It's just that he provoked these sub-monks, and he was afraid of attracting the revenge of those people. That's why I have to get out of here quickly.
But let his wife think about trying to please them. and send his eldest daughter to the monks. What to say "close care".
This wife was the last to marry. The mother of the eldest daughter died in her early years because of difficult childbirth.
All these years, his wife's nose was not a nose and an eye was not an eye to him and the daughter of the first lady. He can forgive her for these, he is not partial, but he is the same pain for several children.
The prefect really didn't expect that his wife was thinking about giving his eldest girl to those monks.
At this time, she still has to calculate!
She can't tolerate a big girl like that.
The prefect's face turned cold all of a sudden, "I don't allow it, you are in your own courtyard these days, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
"It's the day of departure
Son, you can go, if you don't go, stay here. ”
After finishing speaking, the prefect flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly and left without looking back.
Only the woman with tears in the room remained, and she lowered her head, but her face was full of hatred.
No matter what time he is, he is protecting the dead girl, and all he thinks about is the dead man.
At this time, she was the only one in the house, and all the maids had just been driven out, leaving only broken porcelain and tea stains.
The people in the prefect's mansion were all told by the prefect that they could not leave casually, and the prefect's mansion all followed their family to this prefecture to take office, and some wanted to return to their hometowns and did not want to stay in the prefecture, so they wanted to follow them.
So after slowly picking it up like this, there were several carts of things, not counting the prefect's family and a dozen or so slaves.
The fact that so many people are traveling has attracted some attention. The prefect didn't want to say anything, but urged his family to pack up their things and leave quickly.
His wife had been silent for the past few days since he reprimanded her last time, and the prefect had not said anything or persuaded her.
Thinking about women, you have a smaller bearing, so you don't have to care.
Unexpectedly, when the whole family was about to leave and leave, she broke out.
"Master, we can't find the eldest lady no matter how we look for it. A servant ran up to the prefect, his face full of anxiety.
She is the maid who serves the eldest lady, and she is going to call her early this morning, and after preparing the toiletries in the outhouse, she wants to go and tell the eldest lady to get up, but she finds that there is no one.
Not in bed at all.
was so frightened that he hurriedly ran all over the corners of the house, and went to the place where the eldest lady usually likes to play, but he didn't find her.
Only then did he hurriedly come to report to the prefect.
"What", the prefect's face changed with anger, "How do you take care of the eldest lady!"
His eldest daughter was born crippled from an early age, and at the age of twenty she was still like a child. The prefect doesn't want her to get married, and she will definitely suffer when she arrives at her in-law's house in such a situation, and she is ready to support her for a lifetime.
Who has not thought that now man
It's gone!
"Then don't hurry up and find it!!"
The prefect roared angrily, and the servants present all agreed, and quickly ran out to look for it.
The prefect, who was in a hurry, suddenly seemed to understand something, and looked at the woman sitting next to him drinking tea elegantly. His eyes were terrifying.
The prefect's wife is very calm, but her eyes are intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the prefect.
Anyway, the person has already been sent away, what else can he do with her.
Thinking of seeing this morning that the room where the dead girl lived was made of better things than the daughter she gave birth to, I don't know how much, the prefect's wife hated it so much.
That woman still occupies a position when she is dead, and even the daughter she gave birth to is more favored than her daughter, why?
The prefect's wife's eyes were full of unwillingness.
Cheap that dead girl, with such a vixen's face, accompanying those fairy elders, is her blessing.
The prefect saw the look in her eyes, heart
It was cold inside, and his face was even more indifferent.
The two of them sat in the lobby like this, and when the prefect was secretly happy that her husband didn't say anything to her, she didn't notice the cruelty in the prefect's eyes.
The people in the prefect's mansion still didn't find the eldest lady, and they all returned in vain.
The prefect's face was cold.
He found all the people who were still in the house, including the servants, and the two daughters and a son born to the prefect's wife.
The prefect's lady's graceful face was faintly uneasy. She looked at her husband with unspeakable worry in her heart.
Some of the children did not dare to say anything. There was silence in the hall.
The prefect has always had a good temper, and there is almost never an expression like this. Let the mood of the people below be uneasy.
"Do any of you want to stay here? ”
As soon as this sentence fell, I heard the people below whispering.
The son of the prefect struggled for a long time in his eyes, and finally stood up and said: "Father, the people of the entire Fucheng have to follow the immortal chief and them to cultivate immortals, why, why do we have to go?!"
He shouted, the first time he had confronted his father. He couldn't understand why his father was so resistant to them accepting the kindness of the immortals.
The prefect saw the unwillingness in his son's eyes, and his eyes were also indifferent, as if he had no feelings.
swept the two daughters on the side, and found that they were also with their heads down, although they did not speak, but the meaning was self-evident.
"Whatever you want, I said at the beginning, go and go, and stay if you don't go. ”
"Lord Ben doesn't force it. ”
The last few words were very cold. But still no one dared to say anything.
The answer is obvious.
In the end, except for some young people who want to go back to their hometowns, almost all of them want to stay here and cultivate their immortals.
The prefect was not surprised by this situation, his wife was able to give his daughter to someone else under his nose, and the prefect would not believe a word if they had no relationship with that group of monks.
Thinking that his eldest daughter was sent away, I am afraid that he was the only one who hid it.
And now, they have already made a decision. The prefect looked at the group of people in front of him with a faint face, looking at them with a face full of longing and unwillingness.
raised his eyebrows, and his voice was faint, "If you want to stay, it's up to you." ”
"If you want to go with this official, go and prepare now. ”
Thinking about the things that were packed up before, I'm afraid they were all used to deal with him.
Thinking of his eldest daughter, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the prefect's eyes. looked at the son in front of him, such a joy that could not be hidden, and there was a smile on his lips all the time, which was mockery.
Unfortunately, they can't see it.
The prefect left with a few old servants. With not much to bring, they were ready to go to another state.
When leaving, several people were sent to the door, but the prefect's face was always faint.
Until the carriage moved, it didn't give them half of the corner of their eyes.
Looking at the carriage in the distance, a few people standing at the gate of the prefect looked at it, and there was a burst of ecstasy in their hearts.
The graceful lady had not yet expressed her loss at her husband's departure, but a smile of joy.
"Wei'er, did that immortal chief really say that he wanted to take you as an apprentice?" The prefect lady looked at her son in front of her, her only support now, her eyes full of hope.
The man just laughed, his voice full of smugness, "Of course, mother, they also said that they would send me there in advance." ”
"When the time comes, you and your sisters will be able to live a good life with me. ”
Just after these people looked forward to their future life. Here, the prefect's carriage had already left the city, passed a mountain, and was gone.
