Chapter 347 Going to Report
After the man finished speaking, he tried to get up again, but Jia Hu quickly said:
“You can’t get up now. You’re injured and so weak. If you hadn’t been rescued in time last night, you would be dead. Where are you going by struggling now?”
The man said:
"I... I can't stay here. I have to go back right away. My family is still there, living a life worse than death!"
Jia Hu said:
“I can help you. Tell me what happened? Where are your family members? I will send people to rescue them.”
The man wiped away his tears and said:
"Young master, you are a good person, but I can't harm you. Please lend me a carriage. I need to go to the prefect to file a complaint."
"Wait for me to come back, and I'll be your slave."
Jia Hu asked:
"If you want to file a complaint, why go to such lengths? There are government offices here too."
“There are no government officials here. They are all in cahoots. If I go to report to the authorities, I will be killed immediately. I heard that the prefect is a good person, so I want to go to the prefect to file a complaint.”
The man said.
Jia Hu then asked:
"I heard the Emperor has come on a southern tour, why don't you go and file a complaint with him?"
The man sighed and said:
"Young master, we were confined here because the Emperor came on his southern tour."
They only give children half a bowl of porridge or a steamed bun each day, which is not enough to satisfy even a small child, let alone an adult.
When we get sick, we can only endure it; they don't treat us like human beings at all.
We also want to appeal to the Emperor, but the Emperor is staying at the Zhen family's residence, so how can we get in?
I can't delay any longer; I have to go and file a complaint right away.
The man was about to get up again when the doctor, unable to bear it any longer, went over and gave him an acupuncture treatment, saying:
"If you go to file a complaint like this, you'll probably die at the entrance of the clinic before you even leave it."
Upon hearing what the man said, Jia Hu immediately understood that this man was a laborer from the saltworks.
Jia Hu immediately said:
Do you know the Duke of Rongguo who accompanied the Emperor on his southern tour?
"I am Jia Hu, the grandson of the Duke of Rongguo. I saved you. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I can help you rescue people."
“I know the Duke, he is a great general who fights wars. Young master, you, you really are the Duke’s grandson. Where is the Duke’s residence? Can I see him? I really have a grievance.”
The man's eyes immediately lit up, filled with hope and longing.
Jia Hu was also helpless.
"It's not that I don't want you to see them. My grandfathers went out with the Emperor and aren't here now, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't."
"But you can tell me, I have guards who can go and rescue your family first. I've already written to my grandfathers, and once they receive the letter, they will surely return and seek justice for you."
The man's eyes darkened again. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but the young master in front of him was so young.
The doctor's young apprentice, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but interject:
"Speak quickly if you have something to say. This young master is quite remarkable. He has many guards who can definitely help you. Why are you, a grown man, so hesitant?"
"It's not that I'm being indecisive, I'm just afraid of bringing trouble to the young master. The Zhen family is all-powerful in the underworld, and I'm afraid the young master will suffer when his parents aren't around."
Although I, Erniu, am determined to go back and save people, I can't harm them.
This person is quite loyal and affectionate.
"Erniu, right? You can tell me without worry. Although my grandfathers are not here, I have many guards. Don't worry, no one here will dare to touch me."
