"There is another strong man, take it with you. Remember, this family already has two strong men!" The leading officer and soldier pointed at Lian Guan Lang, and the young soldiers behind him rushed forward, and several people directly took Lian Guan Lang away. Lu Ziyuan was escorted away and pressed alongside Da Zhuang.
"Master officials, why are you arresting my family? We have just arrived in Fencheng. We are all good and law-abiding citizens. We have not committed any crime!" Lu Zi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Lian Guanlang. , in such a hurry, he grabbed the empty space with one hand and almost fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, madam. I also know that you have done nothing wrong. However, now that the war has begun and the recruitment has begun, our Lord has said that after all, each household will hand over two strong men. If there are not enough men, each of them will be given one hundred Two pieces of silver worth it!"
"Strong men? You are forcing conscription. How can such a thing happen!" Lu Donglin chased him out of the hall and stared at the officers and soldiers angrily when he heard these words. "Besides, we are not from Fencheng. If you want to recruit troops in Fencheng, how can you conscript us foreigners?"
"Then we have nothing to do with it. Your Excellency has said that people living in Fencheng are part of our Fencheng. Now that the court has a need, everyone must join the army on behalf of Fencheng."
"Masters, how about this, do you think this is okay? For our family members, we will give them an extra two hundred taels in exchange for them. We will leave Fencheng in two days." Lu Ziyuan even had to be polite when talking to these people. He walked forward and handed over ten taels of silver to several people without hesitation, "You officials have also worked hard to recruit soldiers from door to door. I will give you these coins to drink tea."
"Forget it about drinking tea. Madam, we are all following orders." The leader pushed the money back, "The number of households in Fen City is also recorded by your Excellency. There are many in Fen City. Rich people, if every household buys people with silver taels, what kind of soldiers will be recruited? I think you have quite a lot of young men in your family. If you don't want to part with these two people, you can just replace them with two people."
This was the first time Luzwana encountered something that even money could not solve, and it happened to be in this situation. Following the sight of the officers and soldiers, Lu Ziyuan looked towards Lu Donglin and Mrs. Lin who had just walked out. Mrs. Lin Behind him was his newborn grandson.
"My lord, to tell you the truth, the child in my belly is already three months old. If you take my husband to join the army, won't that mean that my child will not be able to see his father and have no father to take care of him when he is born? Besides, what's left? The two of us, my second aunt is about to give birth now, and we can't leave. My cousin's husband just became a father a few days ago. If you leave your wife and child, how are you going to let others live? Besides, our family I'm about to leave for the capital. It's such a long way and I can't do it without a man!" Lu Ziyuan explained angrily, "Do you think you can tell us about our situation? Give us some mercy?"
"We adults have spoken a long time ago. No one is lenient, not even us, the richest man in Fen City, are lenient. Your family is not the only one who wants to be a father in the army. If they don't change, then we will take these two people away. !" The leader left no room for negotiation.
"How about replacing Guan Lang and letting me go." Mrs. Lin suddenly said, "Sister Wan is pregnant now. She has to be taken care of by her husband Guan Lang along the way. As for me, Sister Lan is also pregnant. I have given birth to the child, so I can just ask my mother and Aunt Lu to take care of her on the way."
"That's not possible, son. You can read with a pen, but you can't fight with it! If you have a small body like yours and you go to fight, won't you die? This child is so young, how can you bear to leave him without a father?" Lin Huang
Shi was the first to disagree. She had to be selfish when it came to her son's safety. Although, their family had been taken care of by the Lu family and Lian Guanlang along the way. Apart from this, they could repay anything.
"Mr. Lin, that's not possible. Just like your mother said, how can you go to the battlefield like this?" Lian Guanlang waved his hands quickly, then looked at Lu Ziyuan, "Daughter-in-law..."
