spend time

Jiang Shaohua's heart was heavy and he couldn't explain what it felt like. He was silent for a moment and asked: "What's her name? Does she still have family members?"

Lin Huiniang wiped her tears with her sleeves and choked up: "Her name is Shan Xing. Her father and younger brother were killed by bandits. Her mother couldn't survive the ordeal and hanged herself last year. She is the only one left. There is a crazy one among the bandits. Every time Looking for her... She was not even ten years old at the time, and after being tortured for two or three years, she gradually became like this."

Shan Xing was still smiling.

Jiang Shaohua took a deep breath, turned around and ordered: "Yin Zhu, take her down the mountain and bring her back to the palace later."

Yin Zhu's eyes were already red and she nodded vigorously.

Tu Bai's eyes also flashed with water. Although the two of them were slaves, they were born and raised in the royal palace, and had good food and clothing. The biggest worry in their lives was that they would be scolded by Zhang's mother if they were not careful when doing business. I have never seen such a tragic situation in the world.

When the other women saw this, they suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess Master, please also take in the slave family! The slave family is willing to work for the princess, and they only ask the princess to give the slave family a place to stay."

"Please take me in, Princess."

"I kowtow to the princess."

I don’t know who started kowtowing first, but soon all the women kowtowed. Dong Dong Dong Dong, there was no time to stop it.

"Stop kowtowing." Jiang Shaohua's slightly solemn voice clearly reached the ears of the women: "I personally came to suppress the bandits. I will not leave you alone and will find a way to properly arrange them."

The women wiped their eyes and cried much less.

Only Kong Qingwan remained holding the book of justice without moving.

Jiang Shaohua looked over and said, "Kong Qingwan, are you determined to kill yourself?"

Kong Qingwan's lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.

"Your father, your brother, and your life were all saved by this princess." Jiang Shaohua said coldly: "You owe this princess three lives, and you will have to work hard to repay the debt for me in the future. . If this princess doesn’t allow you to die, you can’t die. Otherwise, I will put all the blame on your father and brother.”

"The two of them haven't gone far, I'm going to have people kill them both now!"

Kong Qingwan: "..."

Kong Qingwan's pupils trembled, and her numb limbs suddenly gained strength and she was about to kneel down.

"No need to kneel," Jiang Shaohua said with a straight face, no smile at all, and naturally showed nobility and majesty: "From today on, you are all the people of this princess."

"My princess never raises idle people. Everyone has to do something."

"Have you read a book? Can you write?"

Kong Qingwan nodded subconsciously: "Yes, a civilian girl has studied and practiced calligraphy since she was a child."

Jiang Shaohua hummed: "Now write down the names, ages, birthplaces, and actions of all the women. In two hours, the princess will ask Yin Zhu to pick them up."

Of the thirty-one women, only three left with their husbands, leaving twenty-eight. It is not easy to ask and write clearly within two hours.

Kong Qingwan had no time to grieve and feel sorry for herself. She quickly stuffed the book of justice into her sleeve, took the thick paper and charcoal from Yin Zhu, and started to get busy.

Before Jiang Shaohua left, he asked Lin Huiniang: "Take good care of Shan Xing."

Lin Huiniang responded solemnly, wiped her red eyes vigorously, folded the letter written by her husband and put it away.

The princess supported them and asked the husbands to write letters of divorce, not divorce. Preserving their last dignity and dignity.

From today on, their lives belong to the princess.

…   Jiang Shaohua went to see the harvest of this bandit suppression again.

In the ten years since Heisongzhai was built, a lot of gold and silver were robbed. Apart from daily food, the rest were piled in the warehouse. The three warehouses are filled to the brim.

Master Cai was leading people to count their belongings when he found an abacus from somewhere and began to type rapidly.

Qin Zhan laughed softly and said, "Princess, this Master Cai is very capable. He comes here early in the morning to check the warehouse. One person is worth ten."

The soldiers are all good at fighting, and each one is bigger than the last in counting and settling accounts.

Jiang Shaohua smiled approvingly.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "Princess Princess, when we searched the village, we found a fish that slipped through the net. Do you want to kill the exposed body immediately?"

Jiang Shaohua said casually: "Bring the person here first, and I, the princess, will ask you some questions."

Soon, the fish that slipped through the net was tied tightly with the rope and dragged over by Tao Da like a fish to death.

Jiang Shaohua was not in a hurry to interrogate the bandits. He first smiled and praised Tao Da: "This time we attacked Heisong Village, you were the first to break into the gate of the village and made the first contribution. If you want any reward, tell me the princess!"

Tao Da, this idiot, actually opened his mouth: "Princess, I want to get a wife."

Jiang Shaohua: "..."

All the soldiers burst into laughter.

Jiang Shaohua also smiled: "Marriage is not allowed in the guard camp. When you reach the marriageable age, you can just take a wife. I heard that your mother has been urging you to get a wife a few years ago, but you refused. Why do you suddenly think about it now?"

Tao Da rubbed his fingers and smiled naively: "My mother always wanted me to marry my cousin, but I don't like her and don't want to marry her. Now that I have met the girl I like, I want to ask the princess to grant her permission."

Tao Da was in the military camp all day and had no chance to interact with women. Today, I suddenly said that I have a favorite woman. It is most likely that I met one of those poor women when I attacked Heisong Village yesterday...

Jiang Shaohua's mind was so sharp that he immediately guessed something.

In full view of everyone, she did not let Tao Da continue to speak: "We will discuss this matter when we have time. I will interrogate the bandits first."

Tao Da said oh and retreated.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at the bandit on the ground.

This bandit is over fifty years old, and his hair is half white. His hands and feet were tied together, his whole body was bowed, his mouth was stuffed with smelly rags, his face was red, and his eyes were full of fear and pleading.

Qin Zhan personally pulled out the rag from the bandit's mouth: "When the princess asks questions, you answer honestly, and I will let you die happily."

The bandit gasped for air, tears overflowed, and he cried out: "Princess, please forgive me! Princess, please forgive me!"

"I know boss... No, I know where Zhu Yidao's private treasury is hidden. I will dedicate it to the princess! Also, I also know where another bandit in Li County is hiding. I will lead the way for the princess."

"As long as the princess is willing to spare my life, I will be the princess's dog. I will bite whoever the princess asks me to bite."

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Where is the private treasury?"

The bandit was overjoyed when he heard the glimmer of hope, and stopped stammering when he spoke: "Zhu Yidao is the most greedy. He secretly hid most of the property stolen from the village. In his room, under the bed was a secret Tao, dig another six feet down."

Jiang Shaohua signaled with his eyes, Song Yuan nodded slightly and made arrangements.
