My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 279 Punishment
After Jiang Tangtang took over Lingnan, the laws were greatly modified. For example, raping a woman would not be sentenced to death according to the laws before the Zhou Dynasty.

The most severe one under the Zhou Dynasty's law is only exile, and the less severe one can even be punished by a fine of silver.

But Jiang Tangtang's revised law directly sentenced him to death.

In order for the people to better understand the law, the medical women sent by Jiang Tangtang to each village to promote medical knowledge will also promote the law.In addition, books were printed and circulated to the villagers for free.

But Lu Bowen was very dissatisfied with the Lu family's actions, and even more dissatisfied with Lu Shiyan not using a man from the Lu family and giving such great power to a woman, Jiang Tangtang.

Lu Lang was influenced by his father and was full of complaints against Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan.

Therefore, not only did I not listen to popular science related to the law, but I also stopped reading new law books.

Meng had to secretly interact with Lu Lang and find ways to hide it from her husband, so she had no time to understand the new laws.

When Lu Lang asked about it, his mind went blank. He felt anxious and turned around and ran home.

Lu Lang grabbed her and said, "What are you going to do?"

Meng said anxiously: "I'll pack my things and run away with you."

Lu Lang misunderstood her meaning and thought that adultery would lead to hanging. He was worried, "What else should I pack? Let's run away first."

Meng was excited to be able to stay with Lu Lang forever in the future, but also worried, "But where can we run? Now there is a drought everywhere outside. Here, with General Lu and Mrs. Lu here, they will always find ways to help us. Those who have survived the crisis, if they went elsewhere, where would they still be able to survive?”

Lu Lang has heard many people praise Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan in the past two years, as if they are the saviors of the world.

And he is also a descendant of the Lu family.When he was in the capital, he lived under Lu Shiyan's dazzling light. When he was in exile, he was like an invisible man, and no one noticed him at all.

Now, Lu Shiyan has become like the sun in the sky, and he seems to be the dirty mud underground.

Listening to his woman praising Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang, Lu Lang suddenly felt rebellious in his heart.

"Why is there no way to survive? If I can have the same opportunities as them, I am not necessarily worse than them."

Lu Lang felt that he was just unlucky. He didn't have a father like Lu Shiyan to train him on the battlefield, nor a daughter-in-law like Jiang Tangtang to help him.

If he had a father and wife like that, he might be even more powerful than Lu Shiyan.

He suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to leave Lingnan. He wanted to have a try and be better than Lu Shiyan.

He quickly picked up the only weapons at home, "Let's go to the back mountain, first evade their pursuit, and then find a way to get out of Lingnan. There is a chaos of war outside now. When we get outside, we can randomly identify ourselves, and we can act like a serious couple." Let's live together in the same way. When the time comes, my husband will also earn a career for you and let you become an official's wife."

Meng was full of longing for the life he told her about. The worries in her heart gradually disappeared, and she said with confidence: "I know a small road that can avoid people."

Because Meng notified Lu Lang in advance and took a small road, Yuan San led his men to catch him, but missed him.

In the end, only the second roommate of the Lu family, Lu Bowen and Lu Lang's younger brother Lu An were captured.

Except for Lu Chengxuan, the crimes committed by the other members of the Lu family were not particularly serious. They were mostly sneaky things. Jiang Tangtang directly sentenced everyone to serve in the mines.

When he heard that he was going to work in the mines, Lu Yingxun immediately showed off his elders' money and scolded Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan for their unfilial piety, "If you hadn't ignored our family ties and deliberately suppressed us, we wouldn't have been able to survive and would have done those sneaky things. What's wrong? If you don't reflect on it, you still send us to work in the mines, and you're not afraid of thunder."

Jiang Tangtang laughed angrily at him, "Do you have no hands or no legs? You are lazy and misbehaving, and you blame others for your mistakes. You are so misbehaving and irresponsible, how can you look like an elder at all? ?”

The villagers all applauded Jiang Tangtang's words against Lu Yingxun.

But no, they all work hard to live on the land, why can't they?

Even Jiang Tangtang, a disciple of the god, and a god of war like Lu Shiyan went to work in the fields.Isn't he more noble than the god of war and the disciples of gods?
Moreover, the villagers already knew that Lu Yingxun and Lu Bowen were not Mrs. Lu's biological children, but the sons of her concubine.

Although no one in the village takes a concubine, the wealthy families still know a little bit about the rules.

That is, those born from concubines are not as good as those born from direct descendants.

How could Lu Yingxun have the nerve to pay tribute to his elders in front of the God of War and the disciples of the gods? In the eyes of the villagers, anyone who disrespects Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan should be struck by lightning.

It's just that it's too cheap for Lu Yingxun to go to the mines for labor reform.

The angry villagers picked up rocks on the ground and threw mud at Lu Yingxun.Lu Yingxun never expected that the villagers, who always valued filial piety and loved to talk about filial piety, instead of blaming Jiang Tangtang, would hit him with rocks and mud.

He dodged left and right, but he was no match for the villagers.

Especially the villagers from whom he had stolen chicken and duck food looked at him and wished they could drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Seeing that Jiang Tangtang did not stop him and allowed them to smash him, he even tried his best to vent his anger.

After a while, Lu Yingxun was beaten all over.

Lu Bowen and Lu Huaiyun, who were close to him, were also affected. They were all beaten to a state of disgrace and were in such a state of embarrassment.

When the villagers were angry enough, Jiang Tangtang had someone push them down and send them directly to the mine.

As for Lu Chengxuan, because it was more complicated, he was sent to Raoying County, where he would be carefully examined by the county magistrate before being executed.

As for the escaped Lu Lang, she asked Yuan Si to lead a team of people to chase him, and also asked someone to send a document to the border and state governments to trace the fugitive.

By the time everything was done, it was already dark.

Since Yuan San and others just traveled all night last night, they were busy all day today.She decided to postpone the visit to see wild rice, and everyone would rest for a night in Zhounanzhuang to refresh themselves.

"Madam, you have worked hard all day, so please use some food. I asked people to catch fish in the pond and make fish soup."

That night, He Qiuniang personally delivered meals.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Jiang Tangtang will also use some outside food.She raised her hand to ask He Qiuniang to bring the food in, and then said: "You can come and eat together!"

He Qiuniang was flattered, but she quickly refused: "How can that be done? How can I sit at the same table with Madam?"

"I just have something to ask you." Jiang Tangtang said: "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a bowl and sit down below by yourself!"

He Qiuniang then sat down and said, "May I ask something, madam?"

Jiang Tangtang picked up a piece of fish meat and said, "This fish was caught in the pond behind our wasteland, right? How is the water in the pond?"

"It was caught in that pond."

He Qiuniang said with admiration on her face: "We followed the method my wife said and built a shed on the pond. The fruit inside dried slower with the roof blocking it. No other village built a shed on the pond like us. Damn, many ponds have dried up and cracked."

Jiang Tangtang said in his heart that the slow drying of the pond in the wasteland was not entirely due to the roof.In addition to putting the spiritual spring inside, she also used the space to add water to it.

Thinking that this was a fish raised in Lingquan, Jiang Tangtang took a bite of the fish, and it sure tasted a bit more delicious than ordinary fish.
