Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1001 The strength of the emperor

During the meal, Jiang Jiuniang did not sit at the same table with the men, but sat with the women and asked them what their future plans were.

If nothing else happens, they will leave tonight and won't stay any longer.

Some people are locals and naturally want to go home, while some are abducted from other places and want to go back to find their relatives. Even the maids of the Qinglian family have somewhere to go and want to go back to their hometown in the countryside.

After going around, only Qinglian, Lin and two or three orphans who also lost their families had nowhere to go.

"Madam, the general promised me before that he could take me back with him. Madam, please take me and my sister-in-law back together! My sister-in-law and I also took care of the business of our shop before, so there will be no problem in doing these things."

Qinglian knelt down directly to Jiang Jiuniang. In this situation, she could only do her best to protect herself and her sister-in-law. As for those maids, she would not stop them from returning to their hometown.

Jiang Jiuniang did have such a plan. Anyway, the shops at home were short of people, so there was nothing wrong with taking them back. However, she still couldn't make a decision easily, at least she had to make things clear.

"Miss Qinglian, taking you back is not a big deal, but have you really thought about it? As you said, your family had property before. Even if everyone in the family was killed, these properties are still there. As long as you are willing, You can make a good living from those industries, there is really no need to go back to work as a handyman with us.”

Anyway, now that the bandits have been recruited, the money that belongs to them can also be recovered. With all that money and those properties, why not just let it go?
No matter what, Jiang Jiuniang wanted to hear what they meant.

"Madam, you also know that my sister-in-law and I are the only ones left in our family. It is really difficult for two women to support the family. Just like this time, we are just ordinary merchants with no background or power. When we encounter this kind of The situation can only be left to fate. But it will be different when our wife goes back. She can more or less rely on the power of the general, and those who are greedy for our family property will not dare to bully us at will. "

Qinglian is a smart person. It's useless to be clever in front of people with absolute power. It's better to tell her true feelings and ask for their protection.

"Don't worry, Madam, we are only trying to protect ourselves and will never do anything inappropriate!"

With that said, Qinglian kowtowed directly to Jiang Jiuniang. After Mrs. Lin understood her intention, she also kowtowed and asked.

No wonder my father-in-law said before that my younger sister is smart and that she will have to recruit a son-in-law to keep the family property. My younger sister is really smart and knows how to use everything available.

And now, Jiang Jiuniang is the target of her use.

Jiang Jiuniang didn't expect that she would speak so bluntly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. This girl had the same energy as a lotus flower, which should not be underestimated.

Are all girls with lotus characters in their names so smart?
"You are so smart, why don't you think that you can cooperate with me without necessarily having to cling to me?"

Jiang Jiuniang looked down at her with admiration and smile in her eyes.

Qinglian couldn't believe it. Madam was willing to cooperate with her?

Why?

Her family is just an ordinary merchant, with no power behind it. Without power, it is difficult to move forward and do business. In recent years, the income has not been high, so her father decided to sell most of the shops, leaving only a few shops with better business for retirement, and then Taking the whole family to the mountains to live a life free from worldliness.

But who would have thought that after so many things had happened, the general's wife would say that she could cooperate with her.

Did she hear it wrong?

Seeing her like this, Jiang Jiuniang made a guess and said with a smile: "You heard me right, I don't have any special hobbies, I just like to associate with smart people. Since you know that you rely on my power to protect your family, Industry, of course you can rely on my power to make your business bigger and better, right?" Qinglian did not answer immediately, but was stunned for a while, and then asked slowly: "Does Madam really believe me? "

Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "I never joke about money."

Qinglian was a little shocked, but more than anything, she was ecstatic. With Jiang Jiuniang's words, she would definitely be able to run her family's business well and take care of her sister-in-law, so she wouldn't have to rely on anyone else!
"Thank you ma'am!"

She was about to kowtow, but Jiang Jiuniang stopped her: "I don't like others kowtowing to me. Don't do it again in the future."

There are so many people now, it is not a good time to discuss business. We can discuss it in detail after we get back.

Now that she has a way out, Qinglian has not forgotten her former maids. If they want to, they can continue to follow her. If they don't want to, they can return the contract and let them go.

A few people still insisted on going home. After this experience, they felt that their family was more important. Others felt that even if they went home, there was no good way out, and they might be sold by their father and brother again, so they decided to Continue to follow Qinglian.

As for the remaining two or three orphans, Jiang Jiuniang said that if she wants to stay here, she will ask King Mao to arrange for a female household, so that she can support herself with both hands in the future. If she doesn’t want to stay here, she can also follow She went back and found that her shop needed people, but it was not easy to work in the shop. She had to be eloquent and well-spoken.

Several girls didn't dare to go when they heard that they needed to be eloquent. They thought it would be more cost-effective to stay here and settle down as a female household. It was better to be the master of the family than to watch other people's faces.

At this point, everyone's whereabouts have been found, and Jiang Jiuniang's meal has been finished.

Because there were still things to deal with, everyone just simply filled their stomachs. There was no drinking or chatting. They just briefly asked about the situation here, so everyone ate quite quickly. Basically, the woman finished her meal. By the time, the men's side was also over.

King Mao was here to handle the case. After eating and drinking, he sent people to find the officials in the city to prepare for a thorough investigation of the matter.

Anyway, the witnesses and material evidence are all there, so it’s not that complicated.

After that, Lu Baichuan and his party prepared to set off at night.

On the way out, I bumped into the officials, but no one paid any attention to them.

This time, it was not easy for Jiang Jiuniang to cheat, so she honestly followed the journey for almost three days before arriving at the capital.

Qinglian's family also followed them to the General's Mansion, and when they saw the domineering plaque, Qinglian knew their true identities. They were actually the most famous people in the capital.

Jiang Jiuniang found Lianhua and briefly stated her wishes, then handed Qinglian's family to her and asked her to take care of the arrangements.

He went to report to Mr. Sun that he was safe, and then disguised himself and entered the palace quietly.

After leaving for a few days, the wind direction in the capital had improved a lot. To Lu Baichuan's surprise, he found that Chang Anbo and the rest of the party had been dealt with by the emperor, so he borrowed the incident where those people besieged Lotus and dumped them. After all the accusations were piled up, those who deserved to be chopped off, and those who deserved to be exiled were expelled. Chaozhong was instantly wiped out.

Only then did everyone truly realize that the strength of their emperor was not as easy to mess with as they had seen.
