Chapter 80 The legitimate daughter is not vicious 21

Lin Yin's face turned blue and white as he was ridiculed by the prison boss.

But he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only add two more broken pieces of silver and handed them over.

"Brother, cell boss, please help me."

The prison boss sneered and did not accept Lin Yin's money.

"To tell you the truth, there are people out there who are suing you and your bastards.

The imperial envoy is investigating your charges, and will convict you only after all investigations are completed.

You can't survive. You've been registered in front of the imperial envoy. How can I dare to take your money? I haven't lived enough yet."

The prison boss was just recruited by Wu Shuang. He was a fat man. Anyone who wanted to visit their relatives in prison had to bribe him.

He was greedy for the money given by Lin Yin, but if he took the money, the Imperial Envoy would definitely not let him go.

The prison boss can still tell which is more important: long-term employment or temporary benefits.

The muscles on Lin Yin's cheeks twitched, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible!

The imperial envoy had arrested most of the officials in the yamen, so where could she find anyone available?

She will need a lot of people to build the river embankment, and sooner or later she will let us out!"

The sarcasm in the prison leader's eyes deepened, and he said with a bit of schadenfreude: "Then you are wrong.

The imperial envoy promoted officials who had made no mistakes to handle various affairs, and publicly summoned scholars to work in the Yamen.

Now that all affairs in the entire Yamen are being handled by someone, everything is normal, and it is impossible for my lord to let you people out."

After the prison boss said this, he left directly. He did not dare to take advantage of the situation, and he was too lazy to talk to Lin Yin.

In the cell, Lin Yinmu fell to the ground blankly, with only one feeling in his heart, it's over!

On the official road outside Qingzhou Mansion, a group of common people carrying clothes and blankets were rushing on their way.

These are the people who came to sign up to build river embankments for thirty cents a day.

Li Erniu's family is very poor. He is eighteen years old and has not yet had a matchmaker come to his door.

It’s not that Li Erniu is bad, everyone knows that Li Erniu is filial and willing to work.

After all, he was still poor. When Li Erniu's father died, he suffered a serious illness, which cost the family all their money.

As a result, Li Erniu was so poor that no woman was willing to marry him.

It was Li Erniu's uncle who was still thinking about him. This time he was working as a corvee to build the river embankment. Unexpectedly, he came back after the corvee service was over and wanted to take him with him to build the river embankment to make money.

Li Erniu wiped the sweat from his head, drank some water and asked his uncle who was rushing next to him.

"Uncle, is the salary of thirty copper coins a day you said true?"

Li Erniu had asked this question many times along the way, and every time Li Erniu's uncle answered him very patiently.

"It's true, if I hadn't come back to find you, I would have just worked to make money.

Uncle will not lie to you. Not only do you have thirty copper coins, but you are also given three meals a day, and there is meat in the meals."

Li Erniu grinned, with yearning in his eyes: "This life is really good."

Uncle Li Erniu laughed: "Can I bring you here? Come on, we'll be there soon."

Li Erniu tightened the package on his back and continued to move forward following his uncle's footsteps.

This time, the two people rushed to the place in one go.

The place where the river embankment was being built was extremely lively. From a distance, you could see a group of people working enthusiastically.

Someone was pushing a wheelbarrow cart carrying mud and sand back and forth.

There are also barrels containing sediment hung by ropes by the river, and the sediment can be easily lifted ashore using a round object.

Li Erniu’s uncle explained to him: “These are wheelbarrows and roller skates, which were built by the imperial envoy by the craftsmen.

With these two things, work will be much easier.”

At this time, the smell of meat came with the wind, and Li Erniu followed the smell and looked over.

I saw a large row of cauldrons on an earthen stove in the distance, and a group of middle-aged women were busy cooking.

The aroma of meat comes from these large pots.

There are also large steamed buns that have just come out of the pan, about the size of an adult's fist. They seem to be filled with at least half of the white flour. They are good in color and have a strong wheat flavor.

Li Erniu's uncle immediately said excitedly when he saw it: "We are really lucky, we are in time for dinner.

Let’s hurry up and register. We’ll have lunch right after registration. After eating, we can still earn half a day’s wages by working.”

Li Erniu was dazed and was dragged by his uncle to register his name with the clerk in charge, assigned tents, put down his salutes, and took a bowl to prepare rice.

Li Erniu felt unbelievable until he looked at the bowl with oil splatters, two vegetables with three-layered meat slices, and two steamed buns that were at least half white flour.

I couldn't help but ask my uncle who was eating a big meal next to me: "Uncle, are these meals just for us? Is there meat in them?"

Throughout the year, he can only eat two pieces of meat during the Chinese New Year. How come the workers here usually eat meat!

Li Erniu's uncle swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "It's just for us to eat. From now on, there will be meat in the lunch dishes every day.

The imperial envoy was so compassionate that he was afraid that we working people would be exhausted, so he specially gave us meat to replenish our bodies.

Don’t worry, if you are not full after eating, you can continue to get food until you are full.

The Imperial Envoy has been so kind to us, so you must not be lazy after you have eaten your fill, you must work hard."

Li Erniu took a big mouthful of steamed buns and drank another mouthful of vegetable soup. Mei's eyes narrowed.

He said as if he was swearing: "The imperial envoy is so kind to us, I will definitely not be lazy in my work."

Li Erniu had a big appetite and ate four fist-sized buns and two large bowls of vegetables in a row, and then he put down the bowl with burping reluctance.

After eating, I picked up the tools and headed to where I was working.

But halfway through, Li Erniu saw a large row of tents as big as houses.

He asked curiously: "Uncle, what is that tent for?"

Uncle Li Erniu took a look and said, "Where is it? It's where the doctor sits for consultation.

When our workers are injured or sick, they go to see a doctor wherever they go, and the medicine and treatment are free of charge."

Li Erniu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and even treated him!

Uncle Li Erniu understood his surprise and patted him on the shoulder.

"The Imperial Envoy is very kind to the people and has thought of everything for us.

You must work hard and not let down the imperial envoy's kindness to us."

Li Erniu didn't know how many times he made up his mind to work hard.

He worked very hard in the afternoon and did not spare any effort.

Before going to bed at night, Li Erniu had his meal and got another bowl of thick ginger water.

Uncle Li Erniu drank the ginger water without being surprised and urged Li Erniu.

"Drink quickly, this ginger water was specially prepared by the imperial envoy because he was afraid that we would catch the cold.

We drink it every night so that we can sleep comfortably at night."

Li Erniu grinned and drank the spicy ginger water.

I feel the warmth in my belly, like a fire, and I don’t know how many times I have thanked the Imperial Envoy in my heart.

He thought that it would be great if all officials were good officials like the Imperial Envoy.
