On a June or July day, Uncle Fu suddenly felt chills on his body.

He has traveled south and north for many years, and he knows that the shape in front of him is inappropriate, the original people in this vicinity must have been cleaned up, and the people surrounding them are by no means ordinary people, if it weren't for rolling in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, the momentum around him would never be so cold.

But Chopsticks Street leads to the end, and the front and back are blocked, and there is no way to escape. He could only calm himself down.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Xichao gritted his teeth and said.

"The prince instructed his subordinates to invite the prince back to his house." The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, a warm and polite voice, and spoke with a slight hunched waist, looking polite and polite.

"I see." Gu Xichao said impatiently.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Gu Xichao and the others, and paused slightly on Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu's legs couldn't help but tremble. Gu Xichao's face became ugly, he glared at the middle-aged man fiercely, turned to Uncle Fu and said gently: "Shopkeeper Fu, I have a little matter to be busy here, you go first." ”

Uncle Fu knew the severity, the affairs of the Huaiyang Mansion were not something he could meddle in, he arched his hand, looked at Gu Xichao solemnly, didn't dare to say a word, turned around and left. There was a wind blowing from behind him, bringing an eerie chill, and he heard Gu Xichao roar angrily: "Gu Zhong, you dare to ......"

Uncle Fu felt that the wind behind him seemed to stop suddenly, and the cold air that enveloped him disappeared without a trace in an instant. He inexplicably had a feeling of escaping death, quickened his pace, didn't dare to turn his head back, and only rushed home. It wasn't until he arrived at Fu's rice shop and held on to the door frame that he dared to take a big breath. And with it. He felt as if all his strength had been drained. I couldn't stand on my feet, and my face was covered with cold sweat.

Hu Chunlai, who was on the counter, was quick to move, grabbed Uncle Fu, and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong with the shopkeeper?" ”

Uncle Fu waved his hand, his voice was extremely weak, "Let my uncle and Erhu come over quickly." ”

Hu Chunlai helped Uncle Fu and shouted loudly: "Uncle, uncle." Two tigers, two tigers, come on, the shopkeeper is not good. ”

Zhang Xingfu's aunt Wei Minwen and others, who had been busy all day, heard the shouts and ran out. Seeing Uncle Fu like this, he was also startled, and hurriedly helped him sit down.

Uncle Fu didn't sit, only waved his hand, pulled Wei Minwen instead, and said, "Min Wen." Hurry up and take someone to see Gu Shizi. ”

"Gu Shizi? What happened to Gu Shizi? Wei Minwen asked.

Uncle Fu hadn't eased up yet, and he had the strength to tell him what had just happened. Confessed to Wei Minwen: "You bring more people, and you must ensure that the prince is safe." He turned his head to look at Yu Erhu again, "Erhu, you follow your uncle." ”

Yu Erhu knows some kung fu, although he may not be able to withstand Fang Cai's gang, but with him following Wei Minwen, there is an extra layer of protection.

Wei Minwen hesitated for a while and said, "Uncle, that group of people is obviously also from the palace, let's just go for fear that it will be inappropriate?" ”

"What's wrong?" Uncle Fu frowned, "Our entire town was saved by Gu Shizi, he is in trouble now, even if we don't want these lives, we have to go over and help!" As if he felt that his tone was too heavy, Uncle Fu eased his voice a little and patted Wei Minwen's hand, "Min Wen, even if that group of people is from the palace, they are not good." Your uncle's life was almost given there. I feel that the prince doesn't want to go with them, so go and have a look. Bring more people, there are many people, you can help, if you can't help, then there is no way......"

When it came to this, Wei Minwen had to nod and instructed Yu Erhu to find some kitchen knives, and asked Xiao Desheng to talk to the hammer next door - the hammer is currently working in the patrol camp in the town. Ask him to bring in some men to help.

Hammer soon came, and took two men with him. He didn't know Gu Xichao's identity. Liu Lizheng only said to the outside world that Gu Xichao was a big merchant from Huaiyang. Wei Minwen didn't reveal much. But Hammer was still indignant and ready to help.

Zhang Xing looked at it coldly, she knew that Wei Minwen was procrastinating. The affairs of the Huaiyang Palace, which cannot be interfered with by these people. Gu Xichao suddenly came to Zhanghe Town, almost had a fight with the city defense, and brought so many food and medicinal materials from Yuxian County privately. At this time of year, this is no longer a trivial matter. No matter how much King Huaiyang dotes on his son, he is afraid that he will be so angry that he will jump to his feet. Forcibly bringing people back was, in her opinion, not at all unexpected.

If the son is a bastard again, he will be beaten up at most if he is Lao Tzu, and he will die. In addition, Gu Xichao is the only concubine of Huaiyang Palace, and he also asked for the title of prince. He was forcibly taken back this time, and he should not be worried about his life.

As for the imperial court, the Huaiyang Mansion has been circling the Jianghuai area for so many years, if you can't even hide this matter, you will be stripped of your title 800 years ago, where will it survive until now?

This matter has nothing to do with Gu Xichao.

She was worried about herself, Gu Xichao's movement was so big, she was afraid that it would be difficult to be quiet from now on.

Wei Minwen invited people, brought guys, and went out the door. Sure enough, he was in the air, and Gu Xichao and the others didn't see any of them, but met Liu Lizheng on the road.

When Liu Lizheng heard the reason for the whereabouts of this gang, he was so angry that he scolded Iron Hammer and several other people from the patrol battalion. As for the people of the Fu family, he didn't dare, but what he said still showed that Wei Minwen didn't have a long brain.

Iron Hammer and a few others were scolded, and before they got home, they swarmed away. Wei Minwen took Liu Lizheng back to Fu's house, closed the door, and Liu Lizheng whispered to Fu's uncle Wei Minwen: "These are people from Huaiyang Palace, and the prince has already left with them." ”

Uncle Fu was still a little suspicious and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Liu Lizheng said unhappily: "Why are you not sure? I've seen the waist card of the palace with my own eyes. ”

Wei Minwen hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't blame Lizheng, my uncle is also worried about Gu Shizi." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Liu Lizheng waved his hand as he spoke, "There is no doubt that the person who came is from the Huaiyang Palace." I have something else to say to you now. ”

Uncle Fu and Wei Minwen couldn't help but look at each other. "Risaki, please." Uncle Fu said.

Liu Lizheng lowered his voice, "Who else in your family knows about Gu Shizi's coming to us?" This is not to be said to the outside world! There is also the matter of Gu Shizi sending food and medicinal materials to us, and we can't let others know. I'm going to talk about it again, if this thing gets out, don't talk about me, and your family will definitely not be able to get out! He knocked on the table, "That's what you mean, if there's an accident, be careful—" He made a gesture with a solemn look on his face.

Wei Minwen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my uncle and I know about our family, even my father and aunt don't know." We know how important it is, and we will never say anything more about it. ”

Liu Lizheng nodded, "That's good." He sighed again.

Uncle Fu and Wei Minwen only accompanied each other. After sending Liu Lizheng away, the family had dinner, and Wei Minwen told Gu Xichao that he had left at the dinner table. When he said this, he deliberately glanced at his sister.

Zhang Xing's face was calm, but Wei Yunhai was a little surprised, "Why did you leave so quickly?" ”

"Xu is the palace has other matters, we can't take care of it." Wei Minwen said, "Liu Lizheng came here to explain not to talk about Gu Shizi, this matter involves a lot, and if we are not careful, our whole family will be implicated." ”

Wei Yunhai originally didn't talk much, but he valued his family very much, and he also tasted the hardships of prison. Liu Lizheng deliberately came over to confess, and he didn't dare not take it to heart.

At night, Uncle Fu and Wei Minwen told Uncle Fu Xianglian again. Zhang Xingzi didn't say anything.

Gu Xichao was asked about leaving the next day, and Liu Lizheng prevaricated. Although the people who paid attention regretted that it had nothing to do with themselves, they quickly threw it away.

In mid-July, it was a sunny day for several days, and people who went out of the city to inquire about the situation brought good news. The floodwaters, which had been raging for more than a month, had receded considerably. People rushed to tell each other, and there were people near Zhanghe Town who were ready to pack up and go home. Liu Lizheng sent several horses out to investigate.

The flood has undoubtedly receded, and it has indeed receded a lot, and several villages near Zhanghe Town have been exposed. Wei Jiazhuang was also among them, and Wei Yunhai also had a smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to go back.

Most of the people who were going to go back were some surplus people, and most of them didn't move, because they didn't have anything, and if they went back, they would starve to death sooner or later, and they would have to wait for the imperial court to distribute the food for disaster relief before they could leave.

Wei Minwen loaded a cart with Wei Yunhai's food supplies for returning home, and prepared to send him back to Weijiazhuang by Hu Chunlai. He is going to buy more land, he needs to check it with his own eyes, Fu Xianglian and her little brother naturally can't go back to Weijiazhuang, which has nothing left, at this time.

Wei Yunhai and Wei Minwen unanimously disagreed with Zhang Xing going back. The Wei family has gone through blisters, who knows what the scene is? You can do whatever you want, Zhang Xing is a girl's house, what do you eat and where do you live?

Just stay in the town, and by the way, help Aunt Fu take care of the shop.

A few days after Wei Yunhai returned, the people who had been waiting for it finally waited for the relief from the imperial court. Relief grain was distributed according to household registration, and people from other counties and towns who had taken refuge in Zhanghe Town returned to their hometowns one after another. The Wei family also received a small half bag of moldy old grain according to the population. Zhang Xing couldn't stay stunned, it was difficult for the Wei family to clean up by relying on Wei Yunhai alone.

Wei Minwen had no choice but to send her back, he sorted out a carriage of food, and hired people in the town - at this time, the labor was low, and he could invite people just to eat. returned to Weijiazhuang together.

There are many people who are easy to do, and the Wei family soon took on a new look, built new courtyard walls, replaced doors and windows, and repaired the roof. The migrant workers invited by Wei Minwen are all poor and white, and they also know that the Wei family is generous and has a lot of land, and several of them want to rent his family's land to plant.

Wei Minwen discussed with Wei Yunhai. The Wei family now has forty or fifty acres of land. Wei Minwen also wants to buy a few more shops in Jin'an, Yuxian County, he wants to make the business bigger and stronger. Zhang Xing wants to allow others. Zhang Jinbao's household registration is in Yu'antang Town, and no one has planted more than ten acres of land under his name, let alone the Wei family. As for Ye Hexiang, then don't count on it.

The Wei family's land will definitely not be able to be planted by Wei Yunhai alone. Even if someone is renting, that's a good thing.

Wei Minwen leased most of the Wei family's land, and Wei Yunhai had to keep some rations, so he could only rely on him.

In early August, Ye Hexiang came back with Zhang Jinbao. (To be continued......)
