Chapter 279 Buying an Official Slave
Xie Jingrui had been busy all night and was exhausted, but he had unknowingly arrived at Yue Xin Ju.
Liu Yueru was smiling as she watched Yan Ge'er and Xie Wenhua get on the carriage to go to the Imperial College.
The carriage drove away, and Liu Yueru turned around with a serious expression.
She looked towards the deserted streets around her and her eyes met Xie Jingrui's figure.
At this moment, he was standing on the opposite street, staring at himself deeply.
Liu Yueru frowned slightly and was about to speak.
Xie Jingrui walked towards her.
"Let's talk inside." Xie Jingrui said without allowing any room for refusal.
Liu Yueru lowered her eyes and followed Xie Jingrui.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw the little tiger rolling around in the yard, grabbing the leaves with his hands and feet and biting and tearing them.
Mother Yan was worried that Tangyuan would run away, so she closed the door.
Tang Yuan heard the noise, stopped what he was doing, glanced at Xie Jingrui's figure, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and ran to Liu Yueru's legs.
He hid carefully, except for the little tiger head, which was still hiding at Liu Yueru's feet, looking in the direction of Xie Jingrui from time to time.
The furry little head looks very cute.
Liu Yueru couldn't help laughing as she looked at the little Tangyuan. Then, she pinched the fur on its back and lifted it up from her feet. She placed it on her legs and gently stroked its little head.
"Ye Tao, serve breakfast." Liu Yueru turned around and gave Ye Tao an order.
Xie Jingrui's pupils shrank slightly.
Soon Ye Tao brought the food and placed it neatly in front of Xie Jingrui, and then filled a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for him and placed it in front of Xie Jingrui.
"Your Highness, eat it while it's hot." Liu Yueru said in a gentle voice.
After being busy all night, Xie Jingrui was indeed hungry. He took the bowl and quickly drank the porridge in it.
A moment.
After seeing Xie Jingrui had eaten his fill, Liu Yueru had his food removed. She then asked gently, "The dungeon of the prince was bombed last night. I heard that Aunt Zhao and Liu Yunni disappeared. Have you found them?"
Xie Jingrui looked at Liu Yueru with complicated eyes: "If we can't find them, you and Hua Ge'er are the most dangerous. Don't go out casually during this period of time. They must have acted in advance because I found out about the locusts and ruined their pre-arranged plans."
"Don't worry about me. We have your secret guards here, so we won't be in any danger for the time being. It's just that Hua Ge'er goes to the Imperial College every day, which is really worrying." Liu Yueru frowned slightly.
Xie Jingrui pursed his thin lips and said nothing more. As the Crown Prince's tutors, they could not take leave without permission unless there was something urgent, so as not to disturb the Crown Prince's concentration on his studies.
"We have people protecting you in secret, but their clothes last night were exactly the same as those of the secret guards in Prince Jin's mansion. We're afraid that someone might sneak into the secret guards when the time comes. You have to be extra careful on weekdays." Xie Jingrui warned.
Seeing his nervous expression, Liu Yueru realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xie Jingrui did not stay in Yuexinju for too long. After giving instructions, he left quickly.
After Xie Jingrui left.
A secret guard in night clothes came out from a street near Yue Xin Ju and cast a sharp gaze on Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru felt an unfriendly gaze not far away, so she quickly turned around to look for it.
I found the streets empty.
Liu Yueru suddenly felt a chill on her back and quickly closed the door again.
The explosions last night and the door-to-door searches by officers and soldiers that began in the middle of the night frightened the people of Kyoto. If it wasn't a door-to-door search, every household would lock up the doorman.
At this time, Uncle Fu came to the door of Yue Xin Ju with more than ten strong men.
He knocked on the gate gently.
When Ye Tao saw Uncle Fu coming, she smiled and welcomed him in.
But when she saw that there were a dozen strong men following him, all of them had injuries on their faces to varying degrees, her face changed and she stepped back in fear.
Seeing this, Uncle Fu hurriedly explained: "These are the people that Madam asked you to find. Don't be afraid."
Liu Yueru heard the noise and came out from the backyard: "Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu was bowing to Liu Yueru.
The dozen or so strong men behind him had already stood up properly and followed Uncle Fu to salute Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru's eyes swept over the crowd. They were all tall and strong, and although they were thin, their lower bodies were very stable. They were all people who had practiced martial arts.
She raised her hand and asked everyone to stand up.
Uncle Fu said in a kind voice, "Madam, these are official slaves bought from the black market. They were originally the guards of officials implicated by the side branch of the Minister of Works. In recent years, everyone is afraid of those cases. When they heard that they were punished for building the river ladder, they dared not buy them. The black market vendor saw that the old slave was interested in buying them, so he simply sold them all at a low price."
"Madam, although they are a little thinner, they are all hungry. They will be able to eat their fill later. They are all martial artists, so they will have no problem keeping the food."
Liu Yueru nodded slightly: "Hand over their list."
Uncle Fu handed the list in his hand to Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru quietly flipped through the roster, which recorded their past clearly. These fifteen people were all innocent, and some had even been to the battlefield together. Such loyal people were delayed by the affairs of the Minister of Works, and lived in vain. Liu Yueru felt a little sorry for them.
She put the list away and nodded with satisfaction. "In the future, they will continue to use the same names as before and will be evenly distributed among the three farms. They will help to collect grain and three managers will be selected from among them. They will be in charge of the stored grain in the future."
The official slaves, who had originally lowered their heads, suddenly looked in the direction of Liu Yueru in disbelief.
But they quickly looked away after just one glance. Over the years, they had been looked down upon by the human traffickers. They were used to the cruelty of the world, the indifference of human nature, and the treachery of taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
Being bought back by Uncle Fu is the greatest fortune for them.
Just now, Liu Yueru said that she would hand over the food to them for care, which was a heavy responsibility for them.
"Yes."
Before coming over, Uncle Fu went to check the fields and said, "Madam, the radishes have grown and the potatoes are almost ready to be harvested. I want to start harvesting the potatoes and radishes in the fields tomorrow, and in half a month, harvest the remaining sweet potatoes and peanuts."
"Okay, Uncle Fu, take care of these. Just store all the grain in the fields in the cellar and the farm before mid-August."
Uncle Fu nodded and left with fifteen official slaves.
The official slave has just left.
A dart suddenly flew towards Liu Yueru, brushed past her fair cheek and hit the window frame behind her.
"Madam!" Ye Tao exclaimed.
Liu Yueru's heart was in her throat. After she calmed down, she looked back at the dart. There was a piece of rice paper on the dart.
Ye Tao quickly stepped forward, took the dart, and handed the rice paper on it to Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru's pupils tightened as she looked at the contents on the rice paper!
