Chapter 68： Little Langjun

"Uncle, help..." A figure rushed into the lobby, saw Chen Luo sitting in the center, and leaned down to worship. Ji Zhong took a slight step forward, blocking the other side and Chen Luo.

Almost at the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the uncle's residence, Chen Luo raised his head, and saw Wang Li followed behind with a team of guards. As he ran, Wang Li shouted, "Lu Tong, don't startle your uncle..." As he said that, he also ran to Chen Luo and saluted, "I have seen my uncle."

Chen Luo looked puzzled: "What's the matter?" After speaking, he looked at the figure kneeling on the ground and asked, "Who is he?"

To be honest, after crossing into this world, it was the first time he saw someone kneeling and worshipping.

"Uncle forgive me." Wang Li said helplessly, "This person is Lu Tong, and he is the manager of Sanxi Village."

"Sanxi Village?"

"Yeah, didn't His Majesty reward you with an Imperial Villa the day before yesterday? The Secretary of Internal Affairs finally settled on Sanxi Villa, just outside the capital, surrounded by three streams, the most fertile."

Chen Luo nodded, his name was Dongliu, and the Department of Internal Affairs gave it to Sanxi Zhuang, but it matched it.

"Then he is..." Chen Luo pointed to Lu Tong on the ground.

Wang Li sighed: "The rules of Huangzhuang are the quotas that must be turned over every year. If there is any leftover, it will be a reward. The rest of the trivial matters are ignored."

"This Lu Tong has a good heart. Whenever he encounters a stray child, he will be admitted to Huangzhuang. Today I was ordered to go and receive it, and I found that Huangzhuang's Neiwu is holding down no less than two hundred young children."

"If it's normal, as long as he can make enough cases, this matter can be ignored. But this Sanxi Village is already your uncle's private property, so you can't do this."

"When he heard that these children were to be dismissed, Lu Tong became anxious and had to fall in front of you to plead for mercy. I didn't stop it at this time, so..."

Chen Luo glanced at Wang Li, he is not a fool, Wang Li came up to grab the white one, and he wouldn't believe it if he didn't communicate with Lu Tong well. But how to do this matter, he has another scruple in his heart.

He called Ji Zhong to his side first and whispered a few words. Ji Zhong nodded and walked out of the house quickly.

Then, he looked at Lu Tong who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, how can I save my life?"

Hearing Chen Luo's voice, Lu Tong quickly kowtowed again, without daring to raise his head, and said, "Uncle Hui, in the past, Sanxi Zhuang handed over 10,000 taels of silver to the Department of Internal Affairs in the past, but the harvest in the village is good in years. , excluding daily expenses, we can only collect more than 11,000 taels in total."

"The old slave begged the uncle to keep the old slave to continue to manage the Huangzhuang, and let those children live in the Huangzhuang. The old servant is willing to hand in 12,000 taels a year. If there is one or two less, the old servant will use Apology."

Chen Luo raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, at most 11,000 taels a year, how can you promise me 12,000 taels a year?"

Lu Tong was well prepared and said: "The old slave will give back part of the leased land when he goes back, and let the children farm it. Ten children can do the work of an adult, and they can always raise some income. The old slave also has some savings, if you pay it back no……"

When Lu Tong said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and clenched his hands.

Chen Luo knew it in his heart: "If it still doesn't work, then sell some children to raise money, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Tong suddenly raised his head, with tears streaming down his vicissitudes face: "I don't want this old slave... But if there is no shelter from Huangzhuang, these children will have no way to survive..."

"Uncle..." Wang Li interrupted at this time, "I also know what they plan to do. But it's not that Lu Tong wants to sell the children, it's the children who volunteered... The old slave also went to see the children. The youngest is three or four years old, and the oldest is Eleven or twelve years old, if this happens to Paihuazi, if you are lucky, you will be slaved by a big family. If you are unlucky, you will probably not grow up..."

Chen Luo sighed in his heart, waved his hand, and said to Lu Tong, "Get up first, wait a minute."

Lu Tong looked at Chen Luo suspiciously, and Wang Li frowned: "If your uncle asks you to get up, get up, hurry up."

Lu Tong quickly stood up and stood aside with his hands tied.

……

About an hour later, Chen Luo leaned on the seat to make up for a sleep, and Ji Zhong came back with a tired face.

Ji Zhong walked up to Chen Luo and told Chen Luo's investigation results: "I have already gone to inquire, this Lu Tong has been taking in orphans for three or four years, and they didn't gather together suddenly. When the children are thirteen years old, they will leave on their own. , there is nothing suspicious about the numbers."

Chen Luo just nodded. He asked Ji Zhong to investigate when Sanxi Zhuang started to take in children. If Lu Tong wanted to occupy the Huangzhuang, he would ask Wang Li to accompany him to perform a show, and a group of children to perform. How can I use my compassion?

In addition, it is necessary to prevent Sanxi Zhuang from being a charitable organization on the surface and a base for human trafficking behind the scenes. If you agree to it, you will not be an accomplice.

Fortunately, the news Ji Zhong brought back gave him a reassurance.

"Since this is the case, it's easy to handle." Chen Luo shook his head and looked sideways. I have to say that Wang Li's professionalism is really good. I asked him to sit, but he didn't sit, and stood for more than an hour, just like no one else. It was Lu Tong, who was the same as Wang Li, which surprised Chen Luo a bit.

"Okay, let's go..." Chen Luo stood up and walked out. Wang Li quickly asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"

"Go to Sanxizhuang to see the children!" Chen Luo smiled and looked at Lu Tong who was nervous, "There is no need to retire the leased land, Huangzhuang can continue to let the children live, but the children have to work for me, don't worry , I'll get paid for the work..."

Lu Tong had a look of joy on his face, followed by a look of worry, and asked, "Forgive the old slave, what does the uncle want them to do? The old slave is afraid that they will ruin the uncle's major affairs."

"It can't be broken!" Chen Luo knew that Lu Tong was worried about the child, and smiled lightly: "I want them to be the little man who sells newspapers... Bah, little connoisseur!"

……

Red Sleeve Academy.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at the Wei Lan Lake in the academy, and the owner of the beautiful eyes sighed softly. Her elder brother is a student of Zheliu Academy. At noon, she talked to her about the article "Du Shiniang" that caused Zheliu students to advance in succession. Because of the limitation of heaven, I can only repeat a general outline, but only a few sentences of generality can also be ignored. She yearned for it.

"Do you want to skip class and go to Beifeng Building? I don't know if Mr. Nan will say "Du Shiniang" again." The woman picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, "Or start a petition to let the head of the hospital. Go out and find Wan Anbo?"

"Diefei, why are you in a daze? Do you miss a lover?" Another charming voice sounded, the woman named Diefei turned her head, and saw a figure jumping towards her The two groups of giants up and down on the chest are quite spectacular.

"Stop jumping, I'm dizzy!" Cheng Diefei spat, "What lover? How do you say this?"

The "giant" woman came to Cheng Diefei, grabbed Cheng Diefei's arm, embedded it in the middle of her chest, and said with a smile, "How can I say it? My father said that love between men and women is the most logical thing, and only hypocrites can do it. Avoid like snakes and scorpions!"

"Your father is a great scholar, and everything is learned. You are just a little girl, and you don't know how to be ashamed..." Cheng Diefei scratched Liu Mengrui's nose, "If you are like your father, you can say 'the belt is getting wider. I have no regrets in the end, because Yixiao makes people haggard, I recognize what you say..."

"Hmph..." Liu Mengrui twisted her body arrogantly, the sensuality on her chest made Cheng Diefei's pretty face turn red. Liu Mengrui didn't notice it, and said, "It's just this word, my family will be stepped on by those concubines, and I've been living in the academy for two months..."

"Alright, alright, didn't you go to Xiuhe and the others' cultural meeting? Why did you come to me?"

"I almost forgot." Liu Mengrui knocked on her head, "The academy issued a public notice saying that it would recruit Confucian scholars who have entered the realm of 'pen-walking dragons and snakes' to transcribe Yawen articles, and that one credit will be given to them a hundred times. , I came here specially to ask you to come with me."

"What article do you know?"

Liu Mengrui thought for a while: "It seems, what's the name of "Swordsman"..."

"What a weird name, do you know which great scholar wrote it?"

"Well...not a great scholar, like some uncle, called Wan..."

"Wan Amber?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name."

Cheng Diefei pulled his hand out of the soft trap and walked straight to the school...
