The willow leaves are slowly

Fei You was dragged into the court by the yamen runners like a salted fish. The yamen gave him some treatment and his condition did not seem as bad as imagined.

"Is the person here Fei You from the Fei family of Liujiazhuang, Liushu County?" Lord He's majestic voice sounded.

"Yes, I...I, Feiyou, greet you, Your Excellency."

"Brother Ayou, nice to meet you again..." Liu Qingyin whispered, her voice was like a ghost, making Feiyou tremble. He frowned and sweated profusely.

"Fei You, you violated a widow from the same village, beat up an old man who was powerless, and attempted to violate Liu. You killed Liu's younger brother, causing him to fall into a coma and be seriously injured, almost killing him. Do you know your crime?" Lord He recounted Fei You's crimes word by word in a voice as loud as a bell.

"I know... I know my crime. I know my crime! I know my crime!" Fei You lay on the ground. He just wanted to end the trial as soon as possible and stay away from these two evil demons. At least he would have food to eat in jail and basic treatment from the government. If he stayed outside, he would be tortured to death by these two lunatics sooner or later.

The Dongling Kingdom is very protective of children under the age of 14. Adults who have signed a contract to sell themselves are the property of the boss and can be beaten to death. But the same cannot be said for children. Even if a child who has signed a contract to sell himself has committed a serious crime, the boss cannot deal with him privately and must hand him over to the government for punishment according to the law. This is even more so for children from ordinary families. Abusing and killing children is a felony!

In Dongling, children are almost always treated well. People are even tolerant of children begging on the streets. If anyone commits a crime by controlling a child, that is a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his clan!

Lord He sentenced Fei You to fifteen years in prison in accordance with the law and paraded him through the streets on a particular day.

After the trial, Fei You was dragged away to be imprisoned. After Liu Qingyin thanked Lord He, she wanted to leave, but Lord He shouted, "Sir, please stay. Miss Liu, please stay."

"What instructions does Lord He have?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"Young Master, Miss Liu," Lord He said with a bow, "It has rained heavily for days and the dam has reached its limit. We need to open the gates to release the floodwaters in order to save Liushu County and the surrounding counties. The Ministry of Works has sent people to conduct a survey to confirm the best area for flood discharge." Lord He was serious.

"My lord, what you mean is that Liujiazhuang is a flood discharge area?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"That's right. The land in Liujiazhuang and Wujiazhuang is barren and the population is sparse. Discharging floodwaters here can minimize the losses."

"Then what about our houses and fields?" Liu Qingyin sounded a little anxious.

"I will send someone to notify the village officials involved and have the villagers count their own fields and other property that cannot be taken away. Once the statistics are completed, the government will convert it into silver and distribute it to the villagers."

"Sir, I have already drafted a memorial and am ready to submit it to the court to apply for disaster relief funds," Lord He said with difficulty. "But you don't know, for a small place like ours, it takes too long for the memorial to reach Tianting. I hope you can coordinate some things so that the people can get the disaster relief funds as soon as possible and settle down." Lord He bowed and bowed.

"After confirming the disaster relief funds, send the memorial to Yuelai Inn. Yingge will report to His Majesty. Lord He can do his best to arrange the temporary resettlement of the people in the flood discharge area."

Lord He bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. I will do my best to resettle the people in the flood discharge area."

"Regarding the matter of disaster relief funds, Lord He must understand that the money is to be distributed to the people. If anyone from the six ministries of the court dares to touch the disaster relief funds, my Shadow Pavilion is not a decoration!" Although Ye Hansheng's voice was soft, it was extremely intimidating.

"I understand. I will spare no effort to distribute the disaster relief funds to the people personally!"

After explaining the matter, Liu Qingyin took Ye Hansheng and hurriedly left the yamen and got on the carriage.

"Shengsheng, I have to go home early. Xiaohai is not well yet, and we have to move and pack up. I'm sure my parents won't be able to take care of it." Liu Qingyin was a little anxious.

"Okay, let's go back together. The carriage is not convenient to move, so let's go back on horseback. Now let's go to the inn and hand Xue'er over to Liuyun, and then book two rooms for uncle and aunt to live in temporarily. Let Ayan buy some commonly used items." Ye Hansheng arranged the relevant matters in an orderly manner.

Liu Qingyin was thinking about something, frowning, and responded, "Yeah!"

Ye Hansheng stretched out his slender fingers, pressed her frowning brows, and said softly: "It's okay, Yin, just move to a new place. With me here, Xiao Hai will be fine."

Liu Qingyin forced a smile, "Well, I just think that my parents have lived in Liujiazhuang for so long, and they left without a home. They must be very sad."

"Ayin, a house is not a home. Home is where your family is!"

"Yeah," Liu Qingyin smiled back, "Thank you for your comfort."

After returning to Yuelai Inn, Ye Hansheng arranged the relevant matters and took Liu Qingyin on horseback back to Liujiazhuang, while Bufeng and Zhuiying followed secretly.

The drizzle continued to fall, and Liu Qingyin couldn't help but sneeze. Ye Hansheng frowned and hugged her tighter. They finally returned home before the rain got heavier.

"Dad, Mom, how is Xiaohai?" Liu Qingyin went straight to Xiaohai's room after entering the room.

"Sister, I'm much better, just a little painful." Xiao Hai was drinking the boiled Chinese medicine. Liu Qingyin rubbed her hands and touched Xiao Hai's forehead. Ye Hansheng checked Xiao Hai and confirmed that there was no problem.

"Ayin, has Fei You's problem been resolved?" asked Father Liu.

"Solved, Fatty You was sentenced to fifteen years in prison!"

"Good! Evil will be punished!" said Liu's mother firmly.

"Ayin, you should know about the flood discharge, right? Li Zheng just came to inform us of the news of the flood discharge and asked each household to count their property." Father Liu said.

"Well, Dad, I knew the news, so I hurried back with Shengsheng. Shengsheng arranged a room in the county town, so we just need to pack up and go there to live. But Xiaohai is weak and can't ride a horse." Liu Qingyin frowned.

Ye Hansheng said: "I have arranged a carriage. The road is muddy and the carriage moves slowly. It will arrive later. Xiaohai and uncle and aunt can take the carriage."

Father Liu continued, "The government asked Li Zheng to count the number of elderly or sick people at home. The government will also send a carriage over, but the number of carriages is limited, so you have to wait."

"This is great, Lord He. The arrangements are very comprehensive." Liu Qingyin turned her head and looked at Ye Hansheng and said.

"Dad, Mom, don't be sad. We just moved to a new place to live. With the subsidy from the government, we may be able to live a better life in a new place." Liu Qingyin was afraid that her parents would be sad, so she comforted them first.

"I've lived here for so long, it would be a lie to say I could bear to leave," Liu's mother looked around their house with tears in her eyes.

"Amei, as long as our family is together, it doesn't matter where we go. The most important thing is that we are together!" Father Liu held Mother Liu's hand and comforted her.

"Yes, mother, don't be sad. The most important thing is that we are together." Xiao Hai drank the Chinese medicine in one breath and said seriously.

"But where can we go?" Mother Liu murmured to Father Liu.

"You can come with me to Beijing!" Ye Hansheng proposed a plan.

"No, you can't go to Beijing." Liu's mother looked serious.

"Amei..." Father Liu seemed to want to say something.

"Why can't we go to Beijing?" Liu Qingyin was a little puzzled. Ye Hansheng watched all this quietly.

"Shangjing...Shangjing is the capital, the place where the emperor lives. Prices are high and it's not something people like us can afford." Liu's mother explained.

"Mom, I will work hard and make money to support you. Shengsheng... Shengsheng has a lot of businesses. I can go to work in his shop. We will definitely be able to stay in Shangjing." Liu Qingyin said firmly.

"Ayin, your mother doesn't like the hustle and bustle of the city. Beijing is not a good place to go!"

"In that case, uncle and aunt can go to Lishan. Although Lishan is not far from Shangjing, the terrain is very high, very quiet, and also very secluded." Ye Hansheng emphasized the word "secluded" a little bit.

"There is a Lishan Academy on Lishan Mountain. The dean of the academy happens to be an old acquaintance of mine. Xiaohai has reached the age of enlightenment and can study in Lishan Academy. Uncle and aunt can work in the academy and get a small amount of money every month. People who work in the academy can get food and accommodation in the academy."

Liu Qingyin's eyes lit up: "Shengsheng, you are so outstanding! This arrangement is perfect! I can go to Shangjing to work in your shop, and my parents and brother will go to the academy, so it will be convenient for me to meet my parents!"

Father and Mother Liu thought about it for a moment and also felt that Ye Hansheng’s suggestion was very good.

Liu's mother then asked, "Why doesn't Ayin go to the academy with us?"

Liu Qingyin thought, "I can't just say that I owe a lot of debts and have to work to pay them off. And most importantly, I have to find out the source of the opium poppy and prevent the opium paste from continuing to flow into Dongling and harm the people. I can't tell my parents about these things."

"Uncle and aunt, Ayin is quite talented in cosmetics, so she signed a contract with me. Ayin will be the shopkeeper and take care of the shop on my behalf." Ye Hansheng said, "Uncle and aunt, rest assured, I will take good care of Ayin."

"Yes, Dad and Mom, don't worry, I will work hard and make more money to take care of you in your old age and help my brother find a wife in the future!" Liu Qingyin shook her mother's arm.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say!" Mother Liu scratched Liu Qingyin's nose and said lovingly.

"But..." Mother Liu became anxious again, and Father Liu also hesitated.

Liu Qingyin's face was full of question marks, and she looked at them in confusion, "Dad and Mom, what else?"
