Traveling through the ancient times

After dealing with Zhu Cheng, it was the turn of the instigator Wu Tianba.

"Tell me what you have done!" Lu Mingqian glanced at Wu Tianba lying on the ground, walked to the desk and sat down, signaling the guards to help him up.

Wu Tianba knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highnesses, I really only robbed some property and did not harm anyone. Please understand clearly."

"Just robbing property? Do you know how much the bosses would lose if you robbed a boatload of property? And can the workers who followed you get their wages?

Maybe those workers have hungry children or seriously ill family members who are waiting for the money to go back and buy food to treat illnesses. If you rob them, the boss will lose the goods and cannot exchange them for money, and cannot pay the workers. What will happen to those people who are waiting for the money?"

"I..." Wu Tianba didn't think so much. If a robber wants to think so much, what else will he rob?

"There's nothing we can do, Your Highness!"

"You can farm, work for others, or join the army. Which of these is a way out? Why do you choose to be a bandit?" In the final analysis, you are just lazy and can't stand hardship. "Are the goods you robbed still there?"

"We gave some to Lord Zhu, and some of it was spent by our brothers. The rest is kept in the warehouse in the village." Wu Tianba answered truthfully.

"Wu Tianba and the members of the Tianba Gang robbed and robbed people, causing harm to the local area. However, considering that no one was killed, we will spare their lives. However, the death penalty can be waived, but the living crime cannot be escaped. We order all the members of the Tianba Gang to be exiled."

Lu Mingqian thought that although these people were guilty of heinous crimes, they did not deserve to be put to death. Since they said they had nowhere to go, he would just send them into exile.

Wu Tianba heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the verdict. Fortunately, his life was saved. He could be exiled. They had nowhere else to go if they didn't become bandits. Thinking of this, Wu Tianba grinned and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."

Ah~ It would have been fine if he didn't open his mouth. When Wu Tianba opened his mouth, his teeth were stained red with blood. It was really scary to look at. "Quickly shut your mouth..."

Wu Tianba: "..." He didn't know what he looked like now, so he just closed his eyes when the prince told him to!

After dealing with Wu Tianba, the next thing to do was to deal with the property of the robbed merchants. "Is Master here?"

"I'm here!" The master who was standing aside as an invisible man was inexplicably called, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down, shaking his body.

"Before, those merchants who were robbed came to report to the police. Were their lost properties registered?"

"Your Highness, everything is registered."

Lu Mingqian nodded to the shopkeeper and called the head of the yamen runners over. "Take your men to count and register all the property on Niutou Mountain, and then transport it back to the county government office and compare it one by one with the records in the government office.

Also, post notices at the docks, asking the merchants who were robbed to come and collect their goods. We will return as much as we can. If I find out that anyone is so audacious as to embezzle the money, I will behead him as a warning to others.”

"Yes, I obey your command." The lawyers and the yamen runners nodded quickly.

Since His Royal Highness the Prince has personally inquired about this matter, they wouldn't dare to do anything even if they had ten times the courage!

"I will inform the king and ask him to send a county magistrate to take over this place as soon as possible. Before that, all affairs of the county government will be temporarily managed by the legal advisor." They couldn't stay here forever. It was impossible to leave such a big county government empty. Someone had to be found to take charge.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best to manage the affairs of the county government before the new magistrate arrives." The lawyer could never have imagined that good luck would come so suddenly.

Although it was only a temporary position, it also built a bridge for him to embark on a career in the government in the future. The master bowed down quickly to express his gratitude.

After all the affairs were dealt with, it was already dark, and Lu Mingqian and Lu Mingcheng rushed back to the inn with their people.

Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue stayed in the inn for a whole day. Seeing the few people walking into the inn exhausted, they went up to them, looked at them carefully, and asked if they were injured.

Lu Mingqian and Lu Mingcheng both said that they were not injured, and they finally put their minds at ease after a day's worry. They then asked the waiter to bring some hot water so that they could wash up first.

When the two of them had finished washing up, Nian Chuhua had already asked the waiter to send a table of food and was waiting for them to come out and enjoy it.

The two of them had been busy all day and had not eaten or drunk anything. Now, looking at the table full of delicious food and wine, they felt so hungry that they picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and stuffed it into their mouths without caring about etiquette.

After eating and drinking, the two Lu brothers sat at the tea table and told the two sisters who stayed behind what had happened today.

After hearing that everything had been handled, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. "This Wu Tianba is a typical lazy person who blames the heavens. It seems like he is justified in robbing others."

"If you are afraid of suffering but want to live a good life, then you will be robbed quickly..."

Lu Mingqian looked at the two little girls with indignation on their faces. "Isn't he afraid of hardship? I will send them all to the military camp, and to the bitter cold land in the north, so that they can see what kind of life the soldiers there live."

"You're amazing!" Nian Chuhua patted Lu Mingqian on the shoulder.

Jiang Ruixue looked at Lu Mingcheng, who seemed to be thinking about something, and waved her hand in front of his eyes. "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"

Lu Mingcheng came back to his senses. "It's okay. It's just that what happened in the past two days made me feel that martial arts are really important when going out. I don't know if it's too late for me to learn it now."

"What's the matter? Are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm scared, I just don't want to have to hide behind other people when I encounter danger. I can't protect myself and may even drag down my companions." Lu Mingcheng thought about how Yan Shu had been protecting him all the time for the past two days.

He saw several times that Yanshu would not have been injured, but was stabbed because he was distracted to protect him. As a modern man, he would not think it was natural for others to take the stab for him. He would feel guilty and blame himself!

Lu Mingqian looked at Lu Mingcheng thoughtfully, "If Second Brother wants to learn, it's not impossible. Although it's a little late, it's still possible to learn some self-defense and life-saving skills."

Lu Mingcheng was very surprised. "Really? Then I'll find a master to learn from when I get back."

"How about I teach my second brother?"

Lu Mingcheng was overjoyed. He had witnessed Lu Mingqian's kung fu in the past two days. He was a martial arts master. If he learned a few moves from him, ordinary minions would not be his opponents. "I couldn't ask for more. Third brother, please don't look down on second brother for being stupid."

"Don't be so modest, second brother. Your wisdom is the best among my three brothers!"

“That’s not necessarily true. A good brain doesn’t mean coordinated hands and feet. Every profession has its own specialties. Besides, I’ve been a lot worse than before since I woke up from the assassination.” Lu Mingcheng just wanted to slowly erase his image as a top student.

He was a poor student, but in the past two or three years he was forced by the king to review memorials. He felt that his poor student brain had begun to gain knowledge!

But he also knew that he couldn't be the leader of a country, not even a little bit...
