"Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for your great assistance. I still have important matters to attend to, so I will say goodbye."
Liu Mu, Ruofeng and others escorted Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children out of the prison and went to Xue Tao, the prefect of Jinhua.
"Are you in such a hurry? I have just asked the kitchen to prepare a table of home-cooked food. It is not too late for the two generals to use the meal before leaving. If the governor knows, you have come all the way to come, and you can't even warm your mouth to eat. If you don't get it, then you have to blame me for not serving him well," Xue Tao, the prefect of Jinhua, said with enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Lord Magistrate. This time the official business is extremely urgent, and the Governor specially asked us to return as soon as possible."
Liu Mu cupped his fists and said.
"Well, that's it. Since it's the governor's order, I don't dare to disobey it. The official business is extremely urgent, so I won't keep you. You two generals have a safe trip and send my regards to the governor."

Xue Tao, the prefect of Jinhua, no longer insisted and watched as Liu Mu, Ruofeng and others escorted Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children away.
After leaving the Jinhua Mansion, Liu Mu and Ruofeng led Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children to a large carriage.
"Remove the shackles." After Liu Mu and Ruofeng left the yamen, they had the shackles and shackles removed from the hands and feet of Wang Zhi's mother Wang, Wang Zhi's wife Wang Zhang, and Wang Zhi's son Wang Qiong.
Without the shackles and shackles, Xiao Wang Qiong was finally free. Not to mention how happy he was.
He opened his eyes wide, he was so curious, looking at everything around him curiously, the blue sky, the white clouds, the long streets, the houses dotted on both sides of the streets, the world was so bright, so long The streets and many houses were all so novel and he had never seen them before.
But compared to Xiao Wang Qiong, Wang and Wang Zhang were extremely nervous.
Why should the shackles be removed from us?
Where is this taking us?
Are you going to take us to the execution ground and execute us? ! I heard that during executions, the shackles are removed and tied with hemp rope. The hemp rope is disposable and goes with the prisoner on the road. The removed shackles are used by other prisoners, which can save the cost of shackles.
When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Zhang thought of this, they couldn't help but feel as nervous as chaff, and their whole bodies trembled non-stop.
"Old lady, please get in the car."
Liu Mu reached out to lift the car door curtain and said to Wang, Wang Zhang and Wang Qiong.
"General, sir, where are you taking us?" Ms. Wang and Ms. Wang Zhang held ten-year-old Wang Qiong in their arms and asked nervously as they stood in front of the carriage. They did not dare to get on the carriage for fear of getting into it. He was taken to the execution ground.
How many people in this world are not afraid of death?
They were afraid of death, and they were even more afraid of the death of their grandson/son Wang Qiong. He was still so young and was taken into prison at the age of five. He stayed in a dark and damp prison for five years. He had not seen the world yet.
"It's a good thing for you. The governor wants to see you." Liu Mu explained simply.
"Good thing? The governor wants to see us?" Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhang looked puzzled as to why the governor wanted to see us.
"Old madam, please get in the car and sit tight all the way. We have to rush to Shaoxing as fast as possible." Liu Mu urged.
"Okay."
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Zhang quickly took Wang Qiong into the carriage.
Liu Mu also got on the carriage and sat upright in the carriage, always paying attention to the three people's every move.
Zhu Ping'an confessed that the three of them were the key to this battle in southern Zhejiang, and they must ensure that they were foolproof.
So Liu Mu got into the carriage and looked at the three of them.
One is to prevent the three people from absconding, and the other is to prevent the three people from committing suicide. Liu Mu is sitting in the car, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Let's go!"
Ruofeng outside stood on his horse and waved his hand.
A group of Zhejiang army officers and soldiers mounted their horses and mules one after another, surrounded the carriage in the center, and the army headed all the way to Shaoxing.
The carriage galloped all the way for an hour before slowly slowing down to allow the horses and mules to drink water and rest.
"Here are meatloaf, side dishes, porridge and eggs. Eat them while they are hot. You will be on your way soon."
Liu Mu took three portions of hot meat pies, side dishes, porridge and eggs from outside, and handed them to Wang Zhi's parents, wife and children.
These meatloaf, side dishes, porridge, and eggs were all brought from Shaoxing before departure. When they arrive at the restaurant, they can be eaten hot and then continue on the road after eating. This can save time and ensure efficiency on the road.
The fragrant meatloaf, side dishes, porridge and hard-boiled eggs made Xiao Wang Qiong's mouth water.
He couldn't remember the last time he ate meat. At least during the Chinese New Year, he couldn't eat meat in prison. It seemed like it had been a year or two. A jailer threw a chicken butt that he didn't want to eat. Got him.
Although I can no longer remember the taste, it was very fragrant, so fragrant that he bit his tongue
Such a big meat patty was filled with the aroma of meat, and little Wang Qiong's mouth was drooling uncontrollably.
Regardless of his mother and grandma, he took the meat pie and took a big bite as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated.
fragrant!
So delicious!
It was delicious, so delicious that I shed tears.
And eggs.
He hasn't eaten eggs for a long time, and he has almost forgotten the taste of eggs.
Wang Qiong didn't have time to swallow the bite of meatloaf in his mouth, so he grabbed the egg, peeled it off without caring about the skin, and took a bite.
The eggs mixed with the egg skin went into your mouth, it was delicious, so delicious.
satisfy.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
So satisfying.
There is meat and eggs in the mouth. I am not dreaming. Little Wang Qiong took another mouthful of meat pie in disbelief and stuffed another mouthful of eggs. His mouth was so full that he choked. .
"Drink the porridge quickly and eat slowly. Don't choke anymore. No one will grab it for you. If there is not enough to eat, there is still more outside."
Liu Mu smiled.
Mrs. Wang and Ms. Wang Zhang patted each other on the back and fed the other rice porridge. Little Wang Qiong had difficulty swallowing the meatloaf and eggs in his mouth.
"General, this... isn't this the last meal? Then why the governor wants to see us, he's lying to us, right? After we eat this last meal, are we sent on our way?! ”
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Zhang were not as heartless as little Wang Qiong. They looked at the meatloaf, side dishes, eggs and porridge in front of them and asked with tears in their eyes.
For them, this meal was too rich. What they usually ate in prison was moldy multigrain steamed buns, rice and porridge mixed with sand, wild vegetable dumplings, and porridge that looked like swill.
Now, there are fragrant meatloaf, fragrant millet porridge, crisp and refreshing side dishes, and boiled eggs.
The contrast between the meals was so stark that they immediately thought of deprivation meals.
"Old Madam, you are overthinking. What did I lie to you about? What do you have to say to me? The Governor really wants to see you. The Governor has told us to take good care of you all the way. I am just following orders."
Liu Mu smiled bitterly.
Too.
What do we have to lie to? Even if you want to behead, there is no need to lie to us.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Zhang looked at each other, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't help but eat the meat pie.
"I can't eat it. Let Grandson eat this half." Wang tore off half of the meatloaf and was reluctant to eat it all, so she put the half in Wang Qiong's bowl.
"I can't eat it either." Wang Zhang was the same.
"Bring three more meat patties." Liu Mu shouted to the outside, took the three meat patties handed from outside, and handed them to the three people opposite, "Old madam, you can eat without worry."
"Thank you, General."
Wang and Wang Zhang took Wang Qiong and thanked Liu Mu repeatedly.
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank us, just thank our governor. It is the governor who has repeatedly told us to treat you kindly and take good care of you." Liu Mu said.
"Thank you very much, Governor." Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Zhang took Wang Qiong and thanked Zhu Ping'an, whom they had never met. (End of chapter)
