The incense of agarwood is burning in the living room, which is quiet and refreshing.
Xu Chunjun invited me again: "Sir, please have tea. If you have anything to do, please tell me later."
Mr. Wu, however, looked ashamed and had no intention of drinking tea.
"Grandma, what happened this time is all my fault. I didn't have the shame to come to see you, but a man needs to have a beginning and an end to his work. No matter how difficult it is to explain, he still has to explain it clearly." Mr. Wu only felt that his own
There is no room for an old face.
"Sir, you are serious. I am not a three-year-old child. If he wants to leave with peace of mind, he will always find an opportunity." Xu Chunjun was gentle, which made Mr. Wu feel a lot better.
"The old man chased him out of the mountains, thinking that the uncle was back at home, but he didn't. After searching around, he found out where he was. "Mr. Wu came to Xu Chunjun after he found out where Zheng Wuji was," it stands to reason.
I should bring the uncle to you, but the current situation is a bit special, I'm afraid I can't do it alone."
"It's better now that you have found out where the uncle is, but I don't know what the difficulty is?" Xu Chunjun knew that Mr. Wu was in trouble as soon as he heard this, otherwise he would either take Zheng Wuji back to the mountain to continue studying, or take him with him
When I come back to my hometown, I will never be left halfway like this.
"It's like this. The uncle was arrested by the officials as a refugee and sent to a coolie camp. Now he is working there as a coolie. If you want to get the uncle out, someone from our government must come forward. Otherwise, I will not be justified.
, I’m afraid those people will make things difficult.” After all, Mr. Wu had seen a lot of things and knew that it would not be easy to get Zheng Wuji out.
"Coolie camp?" Xu Chunjun pondered slightly, "You must be suffering a lot there, right?"
Mr. Wu nodded very remorsefully and said: "It is indeed unspeakably miserable. Not to mention that our uncle has never suffered hardship before and has been tired. Even those who are used to hard work will have to peel off their skin wherever they go."
"This opportunity is rare, so let me stay inside for a little longer." Xu Chunjun said.
"Ah?!" Mr. Wu thought he heard wrongly, "Grandma, are you kidding me?"
"Sir, there is no need to doubt, I am telling the truth." Xu Chunjun said sternly, "Studying is certainly important, but how can a man like me, who has been fooling around in his twenties, only rely on reading to change his temperament?
Although you are very talented and virtuous, how many people in the world are really sensible if you just listen to instructions?
I have always felt that if you teach others, you may not be able to teach them well. But if you teach others, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Since the uncle has experienced this, we might as well take advantage of the situation and let him suffer some hardships, suffer some fatigue, and experience some dangers, and maybe there will be a better result."
"My grandma has such insights, I really admire them. I think I was the same way back then. I have known the books and principles of sages for a long time, but I just don't use them on myself. I only woke up after suffering." Mr. Wu
I deeply believe so.
But he was still a little embarrassed and said: "My grandma understands justice well and can be considerate of others, which really makes me feel ashamed. In the final analysis, the reason why I am suffering and suffering now is because of my lax supervision."
Xu Chunjun laughed after hearing this and said: "Sir, there is no need to feel any regrets. To be honest with you, I originally planned to wait for the uncle to study for a while and then find an opportunity to send him to prison for a while. This is also the reason. Now.
This is better than what I deliberately intended."
Mr. Wu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. He thought to himself that this grandma was not an ordinary woman. The city was very deep.
Thanks to her good intentions, otherwise, this official Zheng would have died countless times.
"Mr. Wu, there is just something important that I have to trouble you with," Xu Chunjun said.
"Grandma, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse." Mr. Wu said generously.
"It's like this. Except for you and me, no one at home or outside the family knows the details of my uncle's studies in the mountains. Now that he has entered the coolie camp again, even more people cannot know about it." Xu Chunjun said, "So it's still
Sir, please think of a way to ensure the safety of the uncle no matter what. I will pay for any amount of money, but I can’t let others know the true identity of the uncle, so as not to cause trouble."
"I understand what grandma means. Either she's asking someone to be there, or she's letting someone in. In short, she has to protect the safety of the senior officials." Mr. Wu nodded, "But I don't know how long it will take."
"I can't say for sure. Let's watch it slowly. When the uncle really understands it, I will take him out." Xu Chunjun said.
Then he told Lvchun: "Go to the accounting room and get a thousand taels of silver notes to Mr. Wu."
After sending Mr. Wu away, Xu Chunjun sent reliable people into the mountain.
"Mr. Wu came out in a hurry. There is a mute servant there. Send some food and vegetables over there and tell him to keep watch there!"
The man agreed and came back the next day, his face changed color.
"Grandma, no, something happened in the mountains." The man reported to Xu Chunjun, "The house in the mountains was burned to ashes, and the servant was burned to death inside."
Xu Chunjun was indeed surprised when he heard this.
"The mute servant can't go up. Could it be that the house was on fire and he went to put out the fire and was hit underneath?" Xu Chunjun said, "This mute servant belongs to Mr. Wu, and he doesn't know about it yet. Ask the housekeeper to come in again.
Shan went to check it out and made sure the mute servant was buried alive. Let Mr. Wu know how to arrange it."
At this time, Zheng Wuji, who was in the coolie camp, was ill. His body was sometimes cold and sometimes hot. There was no place that was not in pain, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
What caused Zheng Wuji the most pain was not his own pain, but the fact that the person who secretly gave him steamed buns every day was reported, and the people who reported him were the same people who robbed him of his clothes.
The person who gave him the steamed buns was a woman, and people here called her Red Girl.
This is not her real name, but because she always wears a red coat.
This woman was also a refugee, but because of her good looks, she was noticed by these supervisors. They built her a separate shack and let her cook and deliver meals. The treatment was considered good.
Of course, these overseers all got through her shack.
Miss Hong secretly stuffed him steamed buns every day, but eventually she was seen.
They usually call Zheng Wuji a pretty boy, and they naturally feel jealous when they see Miss Hong favoring him.
So I told the supervisors. Those supervisors were inhumane. They beat the red girl until her mouth bled, and then took her sister into the shack.
Miss Hong has always protected her sister from being poisoned by these people.
But now he has angered these overseers and caused his thirteen-year-old sister to be ruined by these beasts.
Of course Zheng Wuji was also beaten. He wanted to protect the two women, but who was the match for these wolf-like overseers?
His ribs were broken and he lay under the tree like a dead dog.
It rained heavily at night, but there was no one to protect him from the rain.
Zheng Wuji felt that he was going to die soon. He couldn't think of anything except Xu Chunjun's appearance.
