The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 526
[Chapter 526 I’m late]
If it weren’t for themselves, how long would they have to endure the torture here and eventually die in pain?
Fang Xiu thought that he had never been a kind person, but seeing the miserable state of these people, he felt uncomfortable.
“Master”
Bai Xiaochun beside him suddenly remembered something and called out softly.
Fang Xiu turned to look at him and said, “Let me know if you have anything to say.”
Bai Xiaochun was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard this, he hurriedly said, “Master, those miners want to see you, do you think so?”
Fang Xiu said Hearing this, he didn’t hesitate much and nodded, saying only one word: “Okay.”
Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan walked in front, while Bai Xiaochun and the bookkeeper walked behind.
The group of people arrived at the edge of the mine.
As soon as he stepped into the mine, he saw a ragged miner walking up to Bai Xiaochun. With a smile on his face, he said loudly: “Master Bai, we have finished all the work you asked. What
should we do next?” “
When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he glanced at his young master subconsciously, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he said, “Go and call everyone over, the Inspector has something to say to you.”
“The Inspector. Sir?”
When the miner heard these words, he was slightly startled, and then his face showed excitement, and he asked: “Is Mr. Inspector really here?
Where is he?
Mr. Inspector is busy with everything
.
How can such a precious body come to a place like this?
Our brothers were just joking about it before. How could we expect that the inspector would really come to see us?”
As he spoke, the miner seemed to have thought of something. His eyes became a little moist, and he wiped his tears with his hands full of mud, and continued: “We people are all cheap people. Compared with the Lord Anchashi, we are nothing.
The Lord Anchashi is still It’s really true that you can think of coming to see us.”
At this point, he couldn’t go on, wiping his tears and choking.
Bai Xiaochun naturally couldn’t understand why these people had such feelings for someone they had never met before.
Of course, you still have to show off in front of your young master.
Bai Xiaochun stepped forward, patted the miner’s shoulder, and said, “Don’t cry. The Inspector is right here. Hurry up and call everyone over.” Is
the Inspector here?
The miner was slightly startled, and subconsciously raised his eyes, trying to find the figure of the Inspector.
However, after looking around, I only saw one or two young gentlemen. The only one who looked somewhat like an inspector was standing behind the two young gentlemen.
What kind of status does the Lord Inspector have?
Although he had only heard of the name ‘Master Inspector’ yesterday, he had also heard Master Bai mention it.
The Inspector-General is of the same rank as the Governor-General, but he is much more powerful than the Magistrate!
Even if you haven’t read a book, you can guess after thinking about it that in the entire Central Plains, no one can let the Inspector stand behind him.
Therefore, that person has been excluded.
So where is the Inspector?
The miner was thinking this, and before he knew it, he had reached the middle of the mine. He mustered up enough energy and shouted loudly: “Everyone, please stop what you are doing!
The Inspector has come to see us. He has arrived. !
Everyone is gathered here, the inspector has something to say to everyone!”
The roar spread to every corner with the cold wind.
In just a moment, the entire mine fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the miner who was shouting.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of heated discussion broke out.
“What!? Mr. Ancha has come to our place!?”
“Impossible. What kind of place is this? It’s dirty and messy. If it hadn’t been for a disaster at home, there really would be no place to go. Who would want to stay in a place like this? Mr. Ancha “You are actually willing to come here?”
“You are Lord Ancha, you are different from those magistrates and county magistrates!”
“”
Along with the bursts of discussion, more and more people gathered in the middle of the mine.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun asked his young master for instructions, then stepped forward to maintain order.
Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, the entire mine seemed much more orderly.
Most of the mines here are refugees from the Central Plains East Road and the Central Plains West Road. They have experienced all kinds of hardships and have long been smoothed out.
They know the word ‘discipline’ better than anyone else, especially in front of the supervisors.
Of course, with the arrival of the inspector, those supervisors also received the punishment they deserved.
However, the habit of keeping quiet in front of adults still remains.
“Everyone, please be quiet. The Inspector has something to say to you.”
Bai Xiaochun repeated this and then turned his attention to his young master.
In an instant, thousands of eyes turned to Fang Xiu.
Zhao Yan, who was standing next to Fang Xiu, saw this scene and was caught off guard. She was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Fang Xiu’s expression was very indifferent, or very solemn.
On such an occasion, facing so many excited or joyful miners, he really wanted to show a smile.
But he couldn’t
face so many pairs of simple eyes, looking at the cold winter and the tattered cotton wool covering their bodies, and he couldn’t smile at them.
“How long have you been caught here?”
Fang Xiu was already used to appearing in front of thousands of people.
However, at this moment, he felt that these eyes were like daggers, piercing his body.
He originally thought about a lot of words. Although they were not as serious and solemn as those speeches in his previous life, after thinking about them, he still felt that they were not appropriate.
In the end, I just asked this question.
When the miners heard this question, they all looked thoughtful.
The disaster in Central Plains happened just over half a year ago.
No matter how audacious the prefect of Du Ming Mansion was, he would not dare to blatantly arrest people to do hard labor here.
At most, they catch some beggars, while others recruit people from the countryside.
It is estimated that after the disaster, the number of refugees in Duming Mansion gradually increased, and the prefect of Duming Mansion came up with such a method.
“Sir, it has been more than two months since our family was arrested.”
“About half a year. It was too long and I can’t remember clearly.”
“”
After a while, everyone began to discuss it in a flurry of words.
Fang Xiu listened silently, and by the end, his eyes became a little red.
He looked at them, his voice a little hoarse: “I came late and made you suffer”
