Chapter 1490 Numbness

Chang Li twisted the veil and put it on his son's forehead, and the servant came in, "My lord, the county magistrate is here."

Chang Li got up, "Look at Young Master, please let me know if you need anything."

"yes."

When Changli arrived at the private room of the restaurant, the county magistrate hurriedly got up, "I heard that the young master is ill, is he better now?"

Changli signaled the county magistrate to sit down, without much smile on his face, "My son is a little confused and wants to ask the county magistrate, did this place get any fish cakes and food from the imperial court?"

The county magistrate tightened his heart and said, "I got it."

Chang Li sneered, "Do you have any share in saving lives for the common people?"

Sweat broke out on the county magistrate's forehead, "It's divided, and every household has received food and fish cakes to save lives."

Changli has already investigated, and the county magistrate in front of him is not a good one. The life-saving food has indeed been distributed, but not much, and more has been sold privately.

The county magistrate didn't want to continue talking about food, so he changed the subject and continued: "It's hard to buy meat now, and the wild animals on the mountain are not easy to hunt, so the devoid of conscience Wu's family decided to set their minds on the children."

As he said that, the county magistrate felt sick again in his stomach, it was so disgusting.

Chang's expression was deep, and he continued to talk along the topic. He was already angry with the Wu family, but now he is very calm. Go back to the capital."

The county magistrate's calves were trembling, and he comforted himself. He distributed food and fish cakes to every household. He was not afraid of being investigated, and he didn't dare to look the prince in the eye. "The Liu family has already been imprisoned, waiting to be released."

Chang Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "It's better for the county magistrate to investigate carefully. My father said that once a person's moral bottom line is broken, it is easy to contagious. I think Wu's buying a child is not an exception."

The county magistrate was stunned, his lips were trembling a little, his mind was buzzing, once it was found out, there was still more, there was no need to investigate the private embezzling of grain and fish cakes, his official career would come to an end.

Chang Li put down his teacup, "It's not easy to be human. Since some people don't appreciate it and insist on wearing human skin as animals, then treat them like animals. What do you think, county magistrate?"

The county magistrate swallowed, "I'll go check it out, check it carefully."

What he can ask now is to make up for his mistakes. As for the extermination of the son, don't even think about it, he won't dare to twitch his brain again.

Changli and other county magistrates left, sitting silently, his chest was full of anger, the Wu family bought the Liu family siblings, it was not that they were short of food, during the search, the Wu family had a lot of food, what a beast.

It took two days for Changli's letter to be sent back to the capital, and it was sent directly to the household department.

When Zhou Shuren received the letter,

He was discussing business with the crown prince. Shuren was still surprised when he received the letter. How did the family letter get to the household department? He opened it and handed the letter to the crown prince. "His Royal Highness will also take a look."

The prince took the letter suspiciously, read the letter and patted the table, "It's not as good as a beast."

Zhou Shuren could see the elder son's anger from the lines. An honest man is frightened when he is angry. This time, the elder son will grow up a lot. He retracted his mind and said, "This matter will not be an exception."

The prince said with a cold face, "Cha, I'm going to find out all these beasts."

Zhou Shuren gave an idea, "Open up wasteland and lack people. Since these people don't regard themselves as human beings, they should use them as animals."

The prince thinks this is a good idea, "Death is a relief for them. Zhou Hou's idea is very good, let them open up wasteland and farm until they die."

Zhou Shuren sighed and said again: "I feel that the orphans of the soldiers come to Beijing, it is best to send someone to ease their psychology, lest some children have extreme psychology."

The little boy in the letter has been so greatly stimulated, he has serious psychological problems, and the three views have not been established well, just wait, there must be a newspaper office.

The prince pondered, "Your Majesty is right, but who is the right person to send?"

Zhou Shuren wanted to say that he is the most suitable, he is the best at brainwashing, but he can't mention himself, "Your Highness, please ask Your Majesty."

The prince asked this question, but he was thinking of Zhou Hou, "Yeah."

Zhou's family, Zhulan is in a good mood. In two days, the donated materials have been stored. The houses and greenhouses in the village are built together, and the nearby people are hired to help. There are many people and strength, and the speed of progress is good.

Mrs. Li lost a lot of weight in the past two days and was tired, "Mother, when will the orphanage start accepting orphans?"

Zhulan's good mood is gone again, and there are still too many things to be busy, "You can do it now, let's start with the villages near Zhuangzi."

The voice fell, and the female officer came in, "Madam, the queen mother has sent a message that the orphans adopted by Dongcheng will enter the private orphanage."

Zhulan was not surprised, "Yes, I will send someone to take over, and when Zhuangzi's house is built, the children will be taken away."

After the female officer left, Zhulan planned to go to Dongcheng to see the children in person and asked Steward Ding to prepare the carriage.

Zhulan took Mrs. Li together, Mrs. Li was sitting by the window, looking outside, Zhulan asked, "What are you looking at?"

Mrs. Li turned her head, "Mother, let me see if there are any little beggars on the street."

Zhulan, "Don't look for it, there won't be any."

There are basically no beggars on the streets of the capital, all because the capital has been being rebuilt. In the absence of modern machinery, a lot of manpower is needed. Beggars are also manpower. Some were brought into Huangzhuang to farm, and some were taken away to be cultivated. Over time, beggars who made a living by begging were unwilling to come to Beijing for fear of being taken away from their strength.

Mrs. Li stopped talking about begging children, and instead asked, "Mother, how many orphans do you think there will be?"

Zhulan, "I'll know when the time comes."

When she arrived in Dongcheng, Zhulan frowned when she walked in. How should I put it, the children looked dull and lacked the vitality of children. The boys were better, but the girls were even more numb. What did the disciplining woman say.

After Zhulan observed calmly, she couldn't go on like this, she just had hope for these orphans, their seeds were inheritance.

Zhulan said: "The queen mother ordered me to take over these orphans."

The woman in charge said respectfully: "I have sent word that this is the list of 173 orphans."

Zhulan motioned for Mrs. Li to take it, and then went to see how much food was left. She didn't talk to the children. These children were under the care of the woman in charge, and she couldn't ask any questions, so she went back after a short stay.

Mrs. Li returned to the carriage and frowned, "Mother, my daughter-in-law's heart is heavy. These children are not lively at all. If they speak louder, they all hide in fear."

Zhulan, "I know it well."

She has already figured out how to change the status quo.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't worry anymore, her mother-in-law was the most powerful in her heart, and she also learned a lot in the past few days.

Zhulan looked at Mrs. Li, and she would take Mrs. Li with her wherever she went in the future. Mrs. Li was the future Mrs. Zhou Hou. After she passed away, Mrs. Li wanted to continue her thoughts.
