Chapter 657 The Reward Given by Adults
The expressions of Ma Lu and the others moved slightly, and they clenched their fists suddenly, feeling faintly excited.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Lord Cheng say, "It happens that the Japanese official is here. If you have any requirements, you can ask. As long as it is within a reasonable range, this official can give you a promise."
This is a clever word, within a reasonable range...Isn't it you who has the final say?
But for Ma Lu and others, the promise of Lord Cheng is very precious.
Several people looked at each other, and for a while, they really couldn't say what reward they needed.
After all, they never thought that they would meet the governor here, and the other party would give them a promise.
Upon seeing this, Lord Cheng, "Why don't you discuss it, this official will give you half an hour."
"No, no need for adults, the little ones have already made up their minds." With a look at each other, they already knew it.
Lord Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then tell me."
"Sir, the little ones want a mule cart. Also, after half a month, you can have a day off to leave Zhengdao Village and go outside."
Lord Cheng said with an "oh", thought for a while and said, "Okay, this official has agreed."
Ma Lu and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you sir, thank you sir."
After half a month of hunting, they can take a day off, and they can sell the extra prey they usually hunt.
With mule carts, they can go to the county seat, and even to the prefectural city.
Several of them committed the same crime and were exiled here. After half a year, they will be able to regain their freedom and enter and leave Zhengdao Village at will.
Before that, they wanted to save more money so that they could live better in the future.
Master Cheng responded to the request of Ma Lu and several others, and then looked at Fang Xiyue again, "What about you? What do you want?"
Fang Xiyue had never seen such a big official. When the other party looked at her, she immediately knelt on the ground with a puff, and swallowed nervously.
Master Cheng laughed, "Don't be nervous, this official doesn't eat people, you can just say what you want."
Fang Xiyue couldn't help looking at Shu Yu, who nodded to her, and she took a deep breath and said, "I, I want to beg your kindness, my father has been seriously injured since he arrived in the exile. , unable to work in the ground,
I, I would like to ask the adults to relieve my father from the labor during this period of time. "
The official next to him was clever and explained in a low voice, "Sir, Fang Xiyue's father was beaten by the local government before he came. When he arrived at Zhengdao Village, his injuries worsened and he almost died. But now that he has seen the doctor, he is slowly recovering. Woke up."
Cheng adults nodded, this is a trivial matter, and the other party is seriously ill and cannot be accommodated.
So he responded, "Okay, is there anything else?"
"Also, also, I beg your lord to give my mother another job."
It's not that Fang Xiyue never thought of telling her family's grievances to the governor, but A Yu has analyzed it with her. There are not many people who have been wronged and exiled in Zhengdao Village, and it is impossible for the governor to take care of them all.
What's more, even if he wanted to take care of it, the Fang family's case was decided by the local government, and Lord Cheng's hand couldn't reach that far. Every place has the responsibilities of officials, and Lin Zhang's house is only responsible for guarding prisoners.
If Fang Xiyue wanted Lord Cheng to overturn the case for her family, not only would it fail, but it would make Lord Cheng even more displeased, so she might as well give her some practical requirements.
