Wen Bai quickly replied:
"Miss, my grandmother, my mother, and several other ladies with titles were all taken back to their hometown. My sisters were also taken with them."
"Your sisters? What's going on?"
"All the female relatives of the young lady who are over 10 years old must be sent to the Jiaofang to be singing and dancing prostitutes, and those who are older will become government slaves.
My grandmother and several female relatives in the first house all had titles, so in addition to the titles, they were demoted to commoners and sent back to their hometown. I had eight younger sisters who were over ten years old, and they were all taken back to my hometown as maids.
They were taken back to their hometown penniless, and I don’t know how they survived the past two years!”
"You actually have 8 sisters?"
Wang Jinyi was about to sigh at how hardworking the men of ancient times were, but before he could continue his thoughts, he heard Wen Bai speak:
"Miss, I only have one older sister and one younger sister, both of whom are my biological children, and the others are all cousins.
My biological sister was married at the age of 16. She had not yet married when my father was convicted, and her husband's family did not dare to marry her. She was also a famous talent in the capital, and was the target of public criticism. She had no choice but to join the music school. I don't know how she is doing now.
My younger sister was less than 10 years old at the time and stayed in Shangjing. My grandmother and the women in the family must have gone through a lot of hardships when they were escorted to her hometown.
The eldest sister of my second uncle is called Wen Jinshu. If you two can’t see your grandmother, try to contact Wen Jinshu! I drew a few photos.”
Wen Bai took out a few pieces of paper slightly larger than his palm from his pocket. When unfolded, they were small portraits of people drawn in line drawing.
Wang Jinyi flipped through the pictures and found five small portraits in total. One was an old lady, two were middle-aged women, and two were young girls. Under the portraits were written Wen Jinshu and Wen Jinxiu respectively.
Wang Jinyi asked hesitantly:
"If you could take one person away with you, who would you choose?"
"Miss!"
Wen Bai shouted in surprise, and at the same time, he stood up from the table and looked at the young lady for a long time.
"Don't make a fuss! I just had a thought."
Then, as if nothing had happened,
"Wang Jinlai, there is a way to enter the village without arousing suspicion and to gather information. Do you know what it is?"
Wang Jinlai said:
"Salesman."
"Yes! You can find a way to pretend to be someone like this and sneak into the village!"
The other three nodded in agreement.
"Of course, if they want, they can marry the unmarried daughter of the Wen family to the peddler and take one away, but it's better not to have it registered with the government..."
"Miss, you don't need to file a record with the government or register if you elope!"
"Miss, no! How are my other sisters and grandmother going to survive? The people in the tribe will drown them with their saliva."
"Is there any other way?"
Wen Bai stared at Wang Jinyi.
"Then we have to release Wang Jinlai's indenture, make him a commoner, and then marry your sister."
"Miss, this will still implicate the Wang family! Because Wang Jinlai used to be a servant of the Wang family."
Wang Jinyi nodded as if he understood something.
"Yeah! It doesn't work!"
Wang Jinyi thought silently for a while, took out a piece of paper from the manuscript at hand, handed it to Wang Jinlai, and said:
"Here are fifty taels of silver notes. Take them to them and say it's a token of Wenbai's love. Don't make any mistakes!
If you have any special needs, you can go to the county education office to find my uncle. I have written a letter for you to take with you in case of any emergency..."
Several people spent more than two hours in the main hall discussing the possible situations. Finally, they decided that the two of them would use the young lady's money to buy a set of half-worn clothes each. And according to the young lady's request, each of them would carry some useful things with them.
Because they were leaving the city this time and had to cross the administrative jurisdiction, they needed to report to the government office. The two went to Taisheng Rice Shop and borrowed the identity documents of Chen Jilai and Chen Qingyang, who had been released from slavery. Before leaving, they handed over to Wen Bai the matter of checking the missing person notice at the city gate the next day.
The route was studied beforehand, and the two of them left the house one after the other. They were going to stay in the same store, which was arranged by Wang Jinyi. The two of them had to enter the store one after the other, stay in the same store, and stay in the same room as much as possible, but pretend not to know each other.
That night, the two of them hurried out while the city gate was still open.
The reason for being so anxious is that Wang Jinyi hopes that Wang Jinlai will have enough time to come back before his father leaves Xunyang City.
Now I have a lot of things on hand that need to be discussed with others, some people need to go out to handle things, and some people need to go out to investigate. There are too many things that cannot be implemented, and now I really need capable people under me.
He had two groups of people under his command, heading in two directions outside Xunyang Prefecture. One group consisted of two girls heading to Shangjing, and the other was the group led by Wang Jinlai and Wang Jindong who left the city today.
As for Wu Mei and Feng Jie who were on their way to Shangjing, there has been no news yet. Although Wang Jinyi secretly sent Wu Mei's brother to follow them for safety reasons, he was still not reassured!
The group that just set off for Xunnan County tonight has given Wang Jinyi a new concern.
This is the first time for both of these people to go out, and I don’t know how they can get things done!
The current text and vernacular is basically the same as the original idea. Having taken on the text work, I am afraid that the scope of work can be expanded, and we can discuss the printing of "Revenge Records".
Wang Jinyi casually wrote down tomorrow's work.
After more than 4 months of operation of Tai Sheng Rice Shop, the three people in the store can stand on their own, and it’s time to give them a try and open branches separately!
It's time to take your search for people one step further!
Wu Mei had been gone for more than 10 days. Wang Jinyi was becoming increasingly worried and was hoping for some news to come back.
Not worried about anything else, just worried about Wu Mei's safety. In order to provide Wu Mei with sufficient security, Wu Mei's two brothers secretly accompanied her on the journey and took away 40 taels of silver from her. As long as she could be safe, Wang Jinyi could afford to spend a little more money!
According to the date, it’s time for someone to send back a letter from the post station.
That evening, a letter was delivered along with the monthly account of Tai Sheng Rice Shop.
Wang Jinyi sent everyone in the room away, climbed onto the armchair in front of the desk, opened the letter, and after reading it a few times, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.
This shocking news was so shocking that he was devastated. Now it was too late to do anything and there was no way to remedy the situation. He was very worried.
Thinking of Wu Mei's safety, Wang Jinyi was like an ant on hot pot, not knowing what to do.
What a coincidence! My mother sent Qing'er to call me at this time. Wang Jinyi thought about it, folded the letter and put it in the manuscript of "Record of Gratitude and Revenge".
Wang Jinyi was thinking about how to deal with this sudden news and quickly walked into her mother's room.
