Be Careful General's Wife!

Yun Luochuan looked at his good brother and said: "Brother Ling has the ambition of Lingyun in his heart, and he will definitely be able to change the current situation in Tongyuan County."

Ling Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, "Brother Yun's good words, but Yunzhi still needs the help of the county lord and brother Yun."

It's not that they are asked to contribute to the money gang, but that they are asked to find a way out for Tongyuan County.

Yun Luochuan said: "Since we are here, we will definitely help Brother Ling."

After talking with Ling Yunzhi, Yun Luochuan went back to the wing room. Shen Wan and An An were both asleep in the room. He asked Xiao Xing to fetch some water for him, and after a brief wash, he embraced the mother and child. People fell asleep.

When they got up, Ling Yunzhi had already gone to the hall.

The money and belongings hidden by those people in Yinshangou were all recovered, the four used most of it, and the remaining half was left. Ling Yunzhi asked the yamen servant to count and post a notice for the owner to come and claim it.

And those four people were beaten fifty times each in front of the people who came to see Shengtang, and they were taken into the prison of the county government, where they were to be imprisoned for five years.

The people clapped their hands and applauded.

The county government prison doesn't care about food, the daily meals have to be sent by the family members of the four people to eat, if the family members don't send them, they will be hungry.

After the promotion, I went back to the backyard, just in time for breakfast.

During the meal, Meng Qing asked how the four bandits were dealt with. Hearing that they were sent to prison with 50 boards and would be locked up for another five years, the little girl frowned.

"Ah...they will be locked up for another five years. If their family members don't bring them meals, wouldn't they still have to be raised by us?" Meng Qing complained softly while chewing on a steamed bun.

"Why do you have to raise them?" Xiao Xing asked curiously, aren't all those in jail punished? Their family stopped delivering meals, so why did Master Ling and the others take care of them.

Meng Qing pouted slightly and said: "After being in prison for such a long time, this family may still insist on delivering meals at first, but after a long time, they get tired, and become once every two days, once every five days, and once every ten days." Once, in the end it might not be delivered. When my elder brother and I first arrived, some of the prisoners locked up in the prison had family members who hadn’t delivered food for a long time. They deserved to die of starvation, but my brother is kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to see the prisoners starved to death, so he asked me to give them a meal every day.” Although there are miscellaneous grain pancakes, miscellaneous grains also cost money to buy ah.

"The money for this meal is all paid by my elder brother, because there is not a cent in the account of the yamen." She heard from the old people in the yamen that many prisoners are like this, and the family members will not give food to them after a long time. . The former county magistrate was not so kind, and many prisoners starved to death.

Hearing this, Xiao Xing and Mu Qing looked at Master Ling and Miss Meng Qing with some sympathy, the county government is so poor, and it is really not easy for them to support prisoners who have nothing to eat.

Shen Wan took a sip of porridge and said, "Isn't the prisoner allowed to serve his sentence in corvee?" They were already serving their sentence, but they were imprisoned in the prison and did nothing, and Ling Yunzhi brothers and sisters had to pay for them. Aren't these two brothers and sisters pure and innocent?

"Indeed." Ling Yunzhi nodded his head and said, "But right now there is no corvee for building roads and digging rivers for them to serve, so those prisoners can only be locked up in prison."

"Why not?" Shen Wan said, "The official roads in your Tongyuan County are so difficult to walk, let them build the roads. The official roads have been repaired and leveled, and it is difficult for the people in the county to travel and outsiders to do business in Tongyuan County. It's more convenient, there is a section of the official road in your Tongyuan County, and it is very difficult for a carriage to pass, and it is so bumpy that no one dares to sit in the carriage."

"It's better to let them build roads and let the yamen take care of their food, than they do nothing and just lie in the prison, and you still have to take care of their food."

Yun Luochuan agreed with this proposal very much, "Yi'er is right, Brother Ling, I didn't say that the official roads in your Tongyuan County really need to be repaired, otherwise it will be inconvenient to get in and out."

"I'll think about it carefully." Ling Yunzhi nodded and said, he also wanted the prisoners locked up in the prison to build roads. It's not impossible. The official roads in Tongyuan County are indeed not very easy to walk. If it is repaired, even if there are no businessmen from other places, it will be more convenient for local people to drive horse carts, ox carts, and donkey carts.

He had rented this carriage to come to Tongyuan County, and when he walked to that difficult road, the salute on the carriage was knocked down. It wasn't too far away, but I just arrived at the end of the night.

If it weren't for his county magistrate, he wouldn't be able to enter the city that night.

Don't look at their Tongyuan County, which is small and dilapidated, but there is also a curfew.
