Chapter 96: Liu Dongjia's Letter of Submission
"Okay, I'll sign!" Liu Xuanyi answered without hesitation.
Meixiang turned to look at Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming on the opposite side: "Cousin Zhen, Brother Chu, in a situation like Liu's mother's, can we sign a death contract?"
"Ah?" The two looked at Meixiang in surprise who asked the question.
Liu Xuanyi shouted directly: "Princess, can't I sign alone? Does my mother have to sign as well?"
Meixiang raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, then smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be anxious, the three of you. Just listen to me first. After all, Liu's mother is still someone's concubine. If they come to us and ask for her, I can't think of any reason not to hand her over. So I thought that if we can sign a death contract, we can refuse openly, right?"
The three nodded in sudden enlightenment. Chu Zeming thought for a moment and said, "There is no clear rule in the Haoyue Law that says yes or no, but according to the customs of the past dynasties, this is not feasible. There is an old saying that goes, 'Once a concubine, always a slave.' However, for added protection, it is better to sign one, unless the eldest wife of the Liu family is completely shameless and has the guts to come to the princess's mansion to ask for a concubine."
"Okay, Princess, I'll sign it as your mother." Liu Xuanyi replied firmly. As long as they didn't go back to the wolf's den, the Liu Mansion in Jizhou, they would do anything.
Meixiang nodded with a smile, then winked at Meiying who was standing beside her. Meiying walked into the inner hall and soon brought out a tray with a written indenture and writing material on it.
Feng Yizheng picked up the indenture and read it carefully, then nodded and asked Mei Ying to pass it to Liu Xuanyi who was kneeling on the ground to sign and put his fingerprints on it.
"Are you feeling better now? Do what you did before. If there is anything, I will send someone to find you. If you have any questions, you can come to the government office. If I am not here, you can find Master Feng, Master Chu, or Master Situ."
Meixiang thought for a moment and then said to Liu Xuanyi, "As for the safety of you and your son, there will be people patrolling inside and outside the city every day. I will tell Master Situ to have his people pay more attention to the Liu's rice and grain store."
"As for your mother, if you feel comfortable, you can send her to the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village. My mother also lives there, and her safety will definitely not be a problem."
Liu Xuanyi was so moved that tears came to his eyes when he heard the last sentence. He had been worried about his mother's safety every day for these years, and the princess actually asked him to send his mother to live with her own mother - the Queen.
He knelt heavily in front of Meixiang and kowtowed three times: "I thank the princess on behalf of my mother. I will never forget your kindness."
"Hurry up, we are a family now, so stop saying two different things. From now on, call me Miss Mei in front of outsiders. I don't mind all this thanking and kneeling down, even I do." Mei Xiang said with a slight pout on her face.
Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Feng Yizhen couldn't help but joked, "You, everyone else wants everyone to respect you, but this is the first time you see someone who despises this. Hahaha..."
Meixiang pouted and glared at him sideways. Liu Xuanyi put down the important matter that had been hanging in his mind for so many years. Seeing such a warm scene, he couldn't help but smile.
"Princess, Master, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Half an hour later, Mei Ying brought back the indenture signed by Liu's mother.
At the same time, careful citizens noticed that soldiers began to patrol regularly inside and outside the city.
Just when people began to worry that the peaceful days that had finally come were about to be broken and that a war was about to break out, a notice was posted on the government office's bulletin board, with a bailiff standing next to it, responsible for reading the notice to the onlookers and answering their questions.
The person responsible for reading the notice today is Meiying. This kind of capital city notice is the first time in Liuzhou Prefecture. In the absence of a suitable candidate, Meixiang can only temporarily use herself to take over.
Mei Ying saw that more and more people were gathering around and the scene was beginning to become a bit chaotic, so she shouted:
"Everyone, please be quiet. Don't make noise, don't crowd, and don't panic. Everyone, listen to me."
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
......
After Mei Ying repeated it over and over again, the crowd finally quieted down: "Everyone, be quiet." Seeing someone in the crowd pointing at her and saying something, Mei Ying introduced herself with a bright smile: "Does anyone think I look familiar? That's right, I'm Er Gouzi, the little beggar who used to live with my brothers and sisters in the Bodhisattva Temple outside the city and often swindled money on the streets of the state capital."
There was a roar of laughter from the crowd, and someone even asked, "I haven't seen you guys for a long time. Did you go to the government office?"
Mei Ying glanced at the person who asked the question and replied with a smile, "Strictly speaking, I didn't enter the government office. It was God's mercy that allowed my brother and I to be accepted as disciples of the princess. That's why I have the opportunity to stand here and meet my fellow villagers again in this way."
"Maybe some of you folks already know that our Liufu Prefecture has now become the fief of the eldest princess. In order to ensure that everyone can have enough food and clothing and live a good life, the eldest princess and the officials in the government office are working hard to find various ways. The additional patrol soldiers inside and outside the city are just one of them."
"They are here to maintain the public order in Liuzhou Prefecture. If anyone has any temporary difficulties, they can be called upon to help. For example, if the animals run away or the car falls into a ditch, etc."
"So they are not only here to catch the bad guys, but also to help all of us. Do you understand what I mean?"
The onlookers began to discuss quietly after hearing this. Most people did not believe that such a thing could happen. It was already a blessing for these officers and soldiers not to oppress the common people, not to mention that they could help them. Tsk tsk...
Seeing that no one asked questions, Mei Ying continued, "Okay, now that you understand everything, don't forget to tell your family and neighbors when you go back. Let's go and get busy."
Meixiang, Feng Yizheng and Chu Zeming, who were standing at the corner behind the government office, nodded as they listened to Meiying's explanation. They had never realized that this boy was so eloquent.
Seeing the onlookers gradually disperse in groups of two or three, their hearts finally settled. What was happening in Liuzhou Prefecture now had no precedent. They were all walking and trying to find the way, and they were really afraid of accidentally falling.
Yo...
