"Uncle, help!" A figure rushed into the lobby, saw Chen Luo sitting in the middle, and bowed down to worship.Ji Zhong took a slight step forward, standing between the opponent and Chen Luo.

Almost at the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the uncle's mansion, Chen Luo raised his head, and saw Wang Li followed behind with a team of guards.While running, Wang Li shouted: "Lu Tong, don't startle the uncle." He also ran up to Chen Luo and saluted, "I've seen the uncle."

Chen Luo looked puzzled: "What's going on?" After speaking, he looked at the figure kneeling on the ground and asked, "Who is he?"

To be honest, after traveling to this world, it was the first time he saw someone kneeling and prostrating.

"Uncle, forgive me." Wang Li said helplessly, "This man's name is Lu Tong, and he is the steward of Sanxi Village."

"Sanxizhuang?"

"That's right, didn't His Majesty reward you with a Huangzhuang the day before yesterday? The Department of Internal Affairs finally decided on Sanxizhuang, which is just outside the capital, surrounded by three streams, and is the most fertile."

Chen Luo nodded, his character was Dongliu, and the Department of Internal Affairs gave it to Sanxizhuang, so it corresponded.

"Then this is him." Chen Luo pointed to Lu Tong who was on the ground.

Wang Li sighed: "Huangzhuang's rule is that the quota must be handed over every year. If there is any surplus, it will be a reward. I don't care about other trivial matters."

"This Lu Tong has a kind heart. Every time he meets a homeless child, he takes it into Huangzhuang. Today I was ordered to take it in, and found that there are no less than two hundred children in Huangzhuang."

"If it's normal, as long as he can pay enough statutes, this matter will just turn a blind eye and close one eye. But this Sanxizhuang is already your private property, uncle, so you can't do this."

"When I heard that this group of children was going to be dismissed, Lu Tong was in a hurry, and insisted on begging in front of you. I didn't stop it at this moment, so"

Chen Luo gave Wang Li a white look. He is not a fool. This Wang Li came up to grab the white. If he said that he didn't communicate well with Lu Tong, he would not believe it.But how to do this matter, he has another care in mind.

He first called Ji Zhong to his side and whispered a few words.Ji Zhong nodded, and quickly walked out of Bo's mansion.

Then, he looked at Lu Tong who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, how do you want me to save my life?"

Hearing Chen Luo's voice, Lu Tong quickly kowtowed again, not daring to raise his head, and said, "Back to Uncle, in the past, Sanxi Village handed over 1 taels of silver to the Internal Affairs Department every year, but when the harvest in the village was good, , Excluding daily expenses, the total can only be charged more than [-] taels."

"The old slave begged the uncle to continue to keep the old slave and continue to manage the Huangzhuang, and let those children live in the Huangzhuang. The old slave is willing to hand in 1 taels a year. If one tael is missing, the old slave Apologize."

Chen Luo raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, at most 1000 taels a year, how can you promise me 1 taels a year?"

Lu Tong was already prepared, and said: "The old slave will give back part of the rented land when he returns home, and let the children cultivate it. One adult's work, ten children will do it, and there will always be some income. The old slave also has some savings. no"

When Lu Tong said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and clenched his hands.

Chen Luo knew it in his heart: "If it doesn't work, then sell some children to raise money, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Tong raised his head suddenly, and tears flowed down his vicissitudes of face: "I don't want to, but if there is no cover from Huangzhuang, these children will have no way out."

"Uncle" Wang Li interjected at this time, "I also know their plan. But it's not that Lu Tong wants to sell the child, but those old slaves who volunteered to go to see the child. The youngest child is three or four years old, and the oldest is eleven or twelve years old. , if this happens to be a Huazi, if you are lucky, you will be sold to a rich family as a slave, and if you are unlucky, you will probably not grow up."

Chen Luo sighed in his heart, waved his hands, and said to Lu Tong, "Get up first, wait a bit."

Lu Tong looked at Chen Luo suspiciously, and Wang Li frowned: "Get up when uncle asks you to get up, hurry up."

Lu Tong quickly stood up and stood aside with his hands tied.

After more than an hour, Chen Luo leaned on the seat and took a rest, and Ji Zhong came back with a tired face.

Ji Zhong walked up to Chen Luo and told Chen Luo the results of the investigation: "I've checked everything. This Lu Tong has been taking in orphans for three or four years, and they didn't gather together suddenly. When the children grow up to 13 years old, they leave on their own. There is nothing suspicious about the numbers."

Only then did Chen Luo nod his head. He asked Ji Zhong to investigate when Sanxizhuang began to take in children. In case Lu Tong wanted to take over Huangzhuang, he would ask Wang Li to accompany him in a play, and get a group of children to perform as a group. What about tapping into your own compassion?

In addition, we must prevent Sanxi Village from being a charitable organization on the surface, but secretly a stronghold of human trafficking. If I agree, I will be an accomplice.

Fortunately, the news that Ji Zhong brought back gave him reassurance.

"Since this is the case, it's easy to handle." Chen Luo shook his head, looked sideways, and had to say that Wang Li's professionalism is really good.I asked him to sit, but he didn't sit, and stood for more than an hour, as if nothing happened.But Lu Tong was the same as Wang Li, which surprised Chen Luo a bit.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Luo stood up and walked out.Wang Li hurriedly asked: "Uncle, where are we going?"

"Go to Sanxizhuang to see the children!" Chen Luo smiled, and then looked at the nervous Lu Tong, "There is no need to return the rented land, Huangzhuang can continue to let the children live, but the children have to work for me, don't worry , I will pay you for your work.”

Lu Tong's face was happy, but then he was worried, and asked: "Forgive me for talking too much, what does the uncle want them to do? The old slave is afraid that they will ruin the uncle's big business."

"It can't be broken!" Chen Luo knew that Lu Tong was worried about the children, so he smiled lightly: "I want them to be the little men who sell newspapers, bah, little experts!"

Red Sleeve Academy.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Weilan Lake in the academy, and the owner of the beautiful eyes sighed softly.Her elder brother is a student of Zheliu Academy, and at noon he talked to her about Du Shiniang's essay that caused Zheliu students to advance one after another. Because of the limitation of heaven, he could only repeat a general idea, but even a few words made her feel sad. Longing for life.

"Why don't you skip class and go to Beifeng Building tomorrow morning? I don't know if Mr. Nan will talk about Du Shiniang again." The woman picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. Looking for Wan Amber?"

"Die Fei, why are you in a daze? Are you missing your lover?" Another delicate voice sounded, and the woman named Die Fei turned her head, and saw a figure bouncing towards her, with two huge masses on her chest. Up and down is quite spectacular.

"Stop jumping, I'm dizzy!" Cheng Diefei spat, "What lover? How do you say that?"

The "giant" woman came to Cheng Diefei's side, grabbed Cheng Diefei's arm, just inserted it into the middle of her chest, and said with a smile, "How can you say that? My father said that the love between men and women is the most reasonable thing in heaven, and only hypocrites can do it." Avoid like snakes and scorpions!"

"Your father is a great Confucian, and everything you say is knowledgeable. You are just a little girl, and you don't know how to be ashamed." Cheng Diefei scratched Liu Mengrui's nose, "If you are like your father, you will sing out 'The belt is getting wider and the end is not good. Regret, because of the handed-down words of Yixiao Makes People Haggard, I will accept what you say.”

"Huh..." Liu Mengrui twisted her body arrogantly, the sensuality of her chest made Cheng Diefei's pretty face blush.Liu Mengrui didn't notice it, and said: "It's this poem, my family will be broken by those aunts, and I have lived in the college for two months."

"Okay, okay, didn't you go to Xiuhe's literary meeting? Why did you come to me?"

"I almost forgot." Liu Mengrui tapped her head, "The academy issued a public announcement, saying that it is recruiting Confucian scholars who have advanced to the realm of 'dragon and snake' in calligraphy to transcribe elegant articles, and one credit will be given for a hundred times of transcribing , I came here specially to ask you to go with me."

"Do you know what article?"

Liu Mengrui thought for a while: "It seems, what is it called Xiaoao Jianghu?"

"What a weird name, do you know which great Confucian's article it is from?"

"Well, it's not a great Confucian, it seems to be some kind of uncle, called Wan"

"Wan Amber?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name."

Cheng Diefei pulled his hand out of the soft trap, and walked straight to the student office
