Chapter 625 Solve the problem of the girls leaving and staying
"Sir, it is impossible that the old granddaughter is not here. You must help her."
In the crowd, an old man with a bright head asked.
"Sir, we have no relatives to claim it, so we also ask for your help."
The woman outside the Heavenly King's Mansion asked and looked at Li Zhen with a hopeful look on her face, with deep expectations in her eyes. Likewise, the people also had hopeful looks on their faces. Li Zhen looked at the people asking for help. Even those with helpless faces and sighs in their hearts, if they have not found their relatives now, or if they have no relatives to claim them, the situation may not be very good.
Li Zhen ordered: "Marquis Yang Ban, please invite everyone to the main hall. I will receive them in the main hall."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen immediately entered the Heavenly King's Mansion.
As soon as Li Zhen left, the people and the girls standing outside the Tianwang Mansion became anxious.
Yang Banhou immediately explained, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone followed Yang Banhou and entered the Heavenly King's Mansion one after another. In the main hall, the dragon chair directly above had been moved away, leaving only the one level after another. In addition to the steps, a rectangular conference table has been placed in the hall, with Li Zhen sitting at the head seat of the conference table.
The people walked in, and Li Zhen waved his hand to ask the people who were looking for relatives to sit on the left side, while the women who had not been taken away sat on the right side. Those who could not sit found stools and sat on the left and right sides of the conference table in turn.
Li Zhen looked at the old man with a bright head on the left, and asked with a gentle expression: "Old sir, what problem are you encountering? What is the name of your relative?"
The old man was white-haired, holding a cane in his hand, and said slowly: "The name of the little old man's granddaughter is Ren Yating. She is very beautiful, with big eyes, and is very spiritual. Sir, you must help the little old man. "
Li Zhendao: "Don't worry, old gentleman, I'll ask for you."
After a pause, Li Zhen looked at the girls sitting on the right and asked: "Girls, do any of you know Ren Yating?"
Li Zhen gathered all the people who were looking for relatives and the women who were waiting for their relatives to claim them, in order to solve the problem more simply and quickly. Many people who had not found their relatives could get news through these girls. Sure enough, Li Zhenyi When I asked, a woman said: "Master Li, I know Ren Yating, but Yating died half a year ago."
"ah,."
The old man exclaimed, rolled his eyes, and fainted from fright.
Li Zhen hurriedly supported the old man, pinched Renzhong and waited. After a while of first aid, the old man woke up leisurely. There was a trace of disgust in the old man's cloudy eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face, and he said loudly: "You bad woman, you actually cursed Xiao Ting'er, I tell you that Xiao Ting'er writes letters every month. Last month, a letter was delivered to the little old man. Xiao Ting'er's letter also said that I, the old man, should pay attention to his health. Come back to see my old man."
As he spoke, the old man put the crutch in his hand tremblingly aside, touched inside his clothes, and took out a pile of envelopes, which were all written by Ren Yating to the old man. The old man smiled coldly, stared at the woman who spoke, and said loudly : "Look, these letters are all written by Xiao Ting'er, and there are also ones just sent back last month."
After hearing this, Li Zhen was confused.
There may be something fishy about this.
The woman who just spoke shook her head slightly, and then said: "Grandpa, I'm not lying to you, it's true. Half a year ago, when Yating was serving tea to Hong Xiuquan, her hand suddenly cramped for some reason, and the tea poured on Hong Xiuquan. She was taken out for punishment at that time, and by the time Yating was sent back to the house, she was already dying."
After a pause, the woman continued: "I have a very good relationship with Yating. I know that Yating will write to you every month. The only thing that Yating can't worry about is you. Please let me continue to write on her behalf. After Yating dies, In that month, you should have noticed that the handwriting of the letter had changed. It was the same every month after that. It was all in my handwriting. I was afraid that you would be suspicious, so I lied and said that my hand was injured and asked someone to write it for me. So you didn’t Found it, the old gentleman should know it."
When the old man heard this, he was immediately speechless.
He could no longer speak, especially since the woman's words were exactly the same as what was in his envelope, without any change. At this moment, the old man knew that his granddaughter was dead. The old man's expression was filled with grief and tears. He stood up tremblingly. He saluted Li Zhen, then turned and left.
Li Zhen looked at the old man's hunched back, feeling a touch of sadness in his heart.
Li Zhen also understood that this was the cruel reality.
Most of those who did not claim their relatives almost died in the palace. Next, the common people asked questions one after another, and the girls sitting on the right gave answers. The results were all disappointing without exception. The relatives of the common people They all died in the palace, and the people returned disappointed one by one. When they left, they would yell and curse Hong Xiuquan from time to time.
After all the people left, there were more than a hundred women left. Li Zhen ordered Yang Banhou to get a stack of rice paper, register all the girls, record their addresses, and then immediately ordered the soldiers to visit the families where these women lived.
The next day, forty people came to claim them and took away forty women.
On the third and fourth days, a total of thirty people came, but after that, almost no one came, leaving thirty-six women in the Heavenly King's Mansion, homeless.
Li Zhen called all the girls together and said with a serious expression: "Girls, you must all know the current situation. At present, the situation you are facing is that your relatives are no longer there, or your relatives are no longer there. I recognize you, so you are homeless. I want to ask you what you think."
When the girls heard this, they were all silent.
These women have always been passive in what they do and are told what to do. They rarely decide their own lives, especially since they have no relatives. They have no relatives, and they have no idea what their next lives will be like.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zhen continued: "Everyone is silent. Only I can decide. Maybe some of you know that I have stayed in Shanghai before, and my wife has set up a factory in Shanghai. Inside the factory We are always recruiting female workers. I can arrange for you to work and change your household registration so that you can live in Shanghai with a new look. In this way, you can get married and have children in the new place and forget the unhappy days in the past. What do you think? how."
However, the girls still didn't speak.
Li Zhen put his hand on his forehead, took a deep breath, and continued: "If you don't say anything, let me just say this. People who are willing to go to Shanghai sit on the left side of the conference table, and those who are not willing to go to Shanghai sit on the right side. , now, the decision-making power is in your hands, how to decide, please think carefully, after all, the decision is a lifelong matter."
Because instead of talking, all he had to do was move his buttocks, and finally a woman moved.
A woman sat on the left side and was willing to go to Shanghai. The first one to stand up as an example would be easy to handle. The rest of the girls got up one after another and soon decided whether to go to Shanghai or stay in Nanjing. Li Zhen counted carefully. Twenty-one people went to Shanghai and fifteen people stayed in Nanjing.
ps: Second update; I lost the manuscript I wrote for two hours in the evening because my computer crashed. I rewrote this chapter. I am sad, but I will continue writing.
