Volume 2, Chapter 51: Receiving People

Rong Chuan turned out to be the second son of the lord of the fiefdom, King Chen. Everyone was shocked and surprised, but also very happy.

They don't have to go into the mountains to be savages. If they don't have money, they don't have to be military households.

Rong Chuan was a little reluctant to leave, "Uncle, aunt, I'm going back to Prince Chen's Mansion in Fengcheng. You settle down and I will come to see you."

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly, "Okay, be careful."

Shangguan Ruoli handed him a small bag, "It's full of medicine. There are labels and instructions on the bottles and medicine bags. I hope I can help you."

Rong Chuan took the bag and said, "Thank you!"

A young boy urged: "Second Young Master, let's go back quickly. The king... the masters are all anxious."

Rong Chuan glanced at Ling Yue, touched Wu Lang's head, hit Er Lang on the shoulder, turned around and left, followed by two boys and seven or eight guards.

Only then did Wulang realize that Rong Chuan was gone, and he cried "Wow", "Brother Rong Chuan, brother Rong Chuan! Don't leave, where are you going!"

Rong Chuan's steps were stagnant, his eyes were a little bitter, he stopped and turned around, but his sight was blocked by the tall guard. He pursed his lips and turned around.

Ling Yue hugged Wu Lang and comforted him: "He has gone home to find his parents. He also misses his parents, and his parents are also very worried about him."

When Wulang heard this, he stopped crying, thinking that if he left his parents, he would want to come back.

The inspector politely led everyone to register, checked their household registration, and issued acceptance documents according to household registration. The document recorded the place of origin, number of people, name, age, etc., which was quite detailed and rigorous.

When it was Old Man Zhong and Zhong Rui's turn, they were stuck.

Old Man Zhong said: "My lord, the little old man was robbed by a mob and lost all his household registration documents. But the little old man's second son is Zhong Minjie, the Minister of Household Affairs, and his third son is Zhong Mintao, the head of Honglu Temple."

When the inspector heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "It turns out to be the old man. Mr. Zhong also sent someone to wait here. Please wait a moment!"

Because Youcheng is the gateway to the fiefdom of King Chen, many people who have been separated from their relatives are waiting here.

After a while, a middle-aged servant ran over with four servants. When he saw Old Man Zhong, he cried, "Old Master! Old Master!"

When Zhong Rui saw the old servant at home, his little body relaxed and he cried silently while leaning on Old Man Zhong's lap.

Old Man Zhong and his servants briefly introduced their experiences along the way, and several of the servants were already crying.

The old servant wiped his tears and said: "Old Master, we have booked an inn. You and Master Rui will rest for two days. We will hire an escort to escort us back to Beijing."

Old man Zhong asked his old servant: "Do you have any money? I want to thank my savior."

The old servant took out two silver notes and said, "Give me two hundred taels first. We have to keep the expenses. When we get to the capital, please prepare a big gift to thank you."

Old Man Zhong nodded and went to Dongming Ziyu with the banknote, "I know it's too foreign to talk about money when it comes to saving my life. But, little old man, I have to express my feelings. You need money to settle down, so don't refuse."

This means that the money is not for Dongming Ziyu, but for everyone.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two silver notes. It would be a lie to say that they were not eager. They almost became military households because they had no money just now. They realized the importance of money.

Dongming Ziyu did not refuse. The other party's son was an official. If he refused, it would seem that they wanted to ask for more. Besides, they really needed money.

Accept the money and let people feel at ease, the best of both worlds.

He took the banknote and gave it to Dong Chunlei, the 'cash custodian', and said to Old Man Zhong: "Then we will be disrespectful. Don't mention the life-saving grace, it's just a small effort, you don't need to take it to heart."

Old Man Zhong smiled and said: "If you are a good young man, you will have a great future."

Then he said goodbye to Mr. Dong and several other old men with whom he had a good rapport, and left the address of his second son's residence in Beijing.

Then, he followed the servant and left.

Now, all the remaining people were the original team. They went to the soup kitchen stall to get a bowl of porridge, drank it, and then followed the officer who led them to the resettlement site.

The leading officer, whose surname was Sun, knew that they were the benefactors of the prince's second son and third-rank minister, so he was particularly polite to them.

He smiled and said: "Everyone, wait a moment, we have to wait a while. There are a few children and scholars who have to go with us. You can rest where you are for a while. The county we are going to has to walk for three or four days."

Only those with a good reputation can work as farmers. It is not easy to study in this era, and there are only a few of them. The main ones are those who have connections through the back door, and those who use money at their own discretion.

These two hundred or so of them are those who use the back door, and the back door is quite tough.

Everyone rested where they were, discussing Rong Chuan and Old Man Zhong in a low voice.

Shangguan Ruoli took out the chestnuts and peeled them off for Wulang and Ling Yue. When he looked up, he saw the head guard who had received Rongchuan walking towards him.

Dongming Ziyu was inquiring with Boss Sun about the situation of the place he was going. When he saw the leader of the guards approaching, he stopped talking and looked over.

When the head of the guard met his cold and threatening eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate in his steps. He felt a sense of fear inexplicably. The aura of this man was actually stronger than that of his prince!

But things had to be done, so I had no choice but to walk over. I thought that Dongming Ziyu, a refugee who was fleeing the famine, would at least salute him. Unexpectedly, Dongming Ziyu looked at him coldly and said nothing.

An inexplicable anger arose in his heart, he took out a few banknotes, raised his chin, and said alms-like: "This is what our second young master rewards you. From now on, the grudges will be cleared up. Don't talk nonsense outside in the future!"

You can't do anything wrong just because you are kind to the Second Young Master! You must know that the Second Young Master is a member of the royal family, and it is your fault that you were able to save him! If you are not greedy enough, you will be killed!"

Everyone's happy faces suddenly dropped, "What does this mean?"

"It's not a good thing to say anyway!"

"This is because we are afraid that we will rely on Rongchuan!"

"No, it's because we are afraid that we will do bad things under the name of Rong Chuan!"

"If you do something bad, you will be beheaded!"

"We didn't expect to use Rong Chuan's name to do bad things!"

"These noble people have many twists and turns."

Ling Yue was anxious, "Rong Chuan is not such a person, this must not be what he meant!"

The head guard said: "This is what the second young master means!"

Wulang was ignorant, but he could see that the guard leader was unfriendly. He pulled his neck and said, "You are a bad person! Brother Rongchuan is a good person!"

The head guard looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "The second young master's name is not something you ordinary people can call him! This is a crime of disrespect, and you will be slapped with a slap in the face!"

Everyone was quiet and didn't dare to speak anymore.

The head guard handed the banknote to Dongming Ziyu and said, "Take the banknote. If you don't accept it, you just want to repay the favor!"
