"Brother, my mother will get better, right?" Shen Yiyi hugged Shen Jinyi's arm and spoke timidly, the uneasiness in her eyes getting worse and worse. She is already ten years old and understands everything, and when she saw the appearance of her brother and Shen Er, she more or less guessed that the Lin family's condition was very bad.

"Yiyi, don't worry, there will always be a way, you are still so young, don't worry about it, my brother will definitely find medicinal herbs to cure my mother."

"Brother..."

At this time, Ling'er's voice came from outside the door, "Master, eldest son, are you here?" ”

The door of the room was pushed open, and the frowning Shen Erye and the unsmiling Shen Yongan walked in.

"Father, big brother." Shen Jin arched his hand towards the two of them.

As soon as Second Master Shen came in, he walked to the side of Lin's bed and took a look, and then sat down on a chair not far away silently, with no expression on his cold face.

"Father, big brother, is there something wrong with you?"

Shen Jin looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, tried to show a smile and asked softly.

"Jin Yi," Shen Yongan glanced around, Shen Jin thought for a while, and motioned for Shen Er to take Shen Yiyi down.

Shen Yiyi's gaze swept from the bed to Shen Erye, and then to her brother Shen Jinyi, until Shen Jinyi smiled and nodded to her, she reluctantly followed Shen Er out of the door.

Looking at Shen Yiyi's distant back, Shen Yongan also walked over and took a look in front of Lin's bed, then shook his head invisibly, turned around and sat down on the empty chair next to Shen Erye, and said to Shen Jinyi, "Jinyi, what happened to my mother's body?" Why is there no improvement? ”

Shen Jin lowered his eyes, the box containing the Forget-Worry Grass just now had been taken away by Shen Er, and he was finally relieved.

"Big brother, I'm afraid my mother's body won't get better."

Shen Jin said softly, his face glowing with infinite sadness.

*******

Shen Mansion House

Shen Xingsi, the uncle of the Shen family, was secretly meeting guests in the study.

In the antique study, the incense rising from the incense burner changed the air in the entire study. Guo Lin, who was sitting at the bottom of the supervision, took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth and said,

"Lord Shen, to tell you the truth, the large number of weapons and equipment we saw in Luozhou this time are indeed similar to those made by your factory, if this has nothing to do with you, haven't you heard a little rumor? For example, the mining of iron ore, as well as the large-scale procurement of pig iron, etc., these raw materials are not what you should pay attention to? ”

Guo Lin's slightly questioning tone made Shen Xingsi, who already had a cold face, very dissatisfied.

His face was already cold, but this anger seemed even more displeased, and his tone became unceremoniously, "What did Master Guo say?" Luozhou is a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, besides, don't adults also say that it was done by people in the rivers and lakes? The rivers and lakes and the court have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, how can the old man manage so much? ”

He took a sip of tea and said, "The old man is only responsible for the manufacture and delivery of weapons and arrows required by the imperial court in the imperial capital, as for the movements in the rivers and lakes..... I don't have time to ask. Even if the old man wants to ask, then the old man has to have this ability, Lord Guo, do you say yes? ”

"Hehe, Lord Shen, forgive the little nephew for taking the liberty of daring to ask Lord Shen, does the treasurer have a branch in Luozhou?"

It was Wei Chi Fulin who came with Guo Lin who spoke, his father Yu Chi Yan was the same generation as Shen Xingsi, and it was not wrong for him to call himself a little nephew. However, thinking that the many weapons found in the cave in Jingshan in Luozhou might have flowed out of the treasury weapons in charge of Shen Xingsi, Yu Chi Fulin couldn't help but feel a tingle in his back.

If it is really as the emperor guessed, there are court officials and martial arts people who collude to provoke disputes between countries and martial arts, then the world is afraid that it will not be peaceful.

Just imagine, a large amount of food was robbed by the Jianghu people, and all the evidence was destroyed with extremely vicious corpse powder, and then a large number of weapons and bows and arrows were found in the hands of the Jianghu people.....

Isn't this a sign of war?

Shen Xingsi heard Yu Chi Fulin ask this, and said in a deep voice, "Luozhou is too far away from the imperial capital, and there are sub-warehouses, but the output is not much, and there is the Qin Mansion in Luozhou, so the amount needed is even less." ”

Guo Lin frowned, "Doesn't the army raised by the Qin Mansion use weapons?" ”

Shen Xingsi glared at him and said angrily, "Don't Lord Guo know that the Qin Mansion has been a general for generations, and the weapons are issued by the imperial court every year, can they still lack weapons?" ”

As soon as Shen Xingsi's words came out, Guo Lin was obviously a little embarrassed, he had never paid attention to this before, he was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed.

"Ahem... I've never ......."

"Master Guo, this is your dereliction of duty, as a superintendent of the imperial history, these should also be within the scope of your knowledge!" Sitting on the side was Shen Teng, who went to Jingshan with Guo Lin, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

In this incident, Lan Hongzhen also ordered him and Guo Lin to come to Shen Xingsi to probe the wind and see if he had any clues here.

Actually, what Shen Teng didn't understand was that Lan Hongzhen shouldn't be in a hurry to find food? Why did you ask about weapons instead? Even if both are prepared for the war in the near future, there is a first-come, first-served difference, isn't it?

Besides, the grain has been determined to be made by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the weapons are not yet sure whether they have flowed from them.

According to Yu Chi Fulin, those arrows are exactly the same as the battlefield weapons that came out of the treasurer of the Southern Dynasty, but there are no marks on them, which is also what makes everyone very confused, could it be that someone made it privately?

But with such a large amount of production, why didn't any of the governments know about it?

"Ahem..."Guo Lin, who just took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment, was really choked at the moment, is this a pig teammate or a pig teammate?

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say anything, the old man knows what you mean, it's nothing more than that the emperor suspects that the old man is colluding with people in the rivers and lakes to sell weapons to people in the martial arts without permission."

Shen Xingsi put down the teacup and said coldly, "Please go back and tell the emperor that the old man has served the court for generations, has always been loyal, and has never had the slightest disobedience. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xingsi stood up and walked outside the study without looking back.

"Lord Shen!" Line

"Lord Shen!"

“......”

The rest of Shen Teng, Guo Lin and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see helplessness in each other's eyes.

Yu Chi Fulin was young, and he didn't survive after all, "Lord Guo, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do? How do I know what to do? ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and stood up, and walked away without looking back.

Yu Chi Fulin looked at Shen Teng again, Shen Teng took a deep breath, and then held back two words: "Cold salad!" After speaking, he left behind Guo Lin.

"It's... Alas...."

A group of difficult old men, Yu Chi Fulin sighed helplessly, he found that he had to age faster after staying with this group of people for a long time, "Alas~~~" He suddenly missed his own Xiaozhu.

**********

"Miss! Miss! ”

The sound of spring rain whirring sounded outside Jiang Zhu's small courtyard, and the crisp and pleasant voice sounded full of joy.

"What for? Why are there no rules at all? ”

Jiang Zhu was carrying a kettle to water the flowers in the small garden in front of the court, and when he heard the call of the spring rain, he didn't look back and said angrily.

When Yu Chi Fulin came in, he only saw that the small courtyard was full of blooming flowers, and among the flowers, a petite figure was squatting in the middle, and the cloak on her shoulders slid down her body to the ground, making her body even more thin.

"Hey, my young lady, why don't you turn around and see, who's coming?"

Chunyu came to Jiang Zhu in a few steps, snatched the kettle in her hand, and said funny.

"Dead girl, who's coming? Worthy of your pleasure? Jiang Zhuzheng said, a pair of big hands reached out behind her back, and the cloak on her shoulders was closed, and a gentle voice came,

"If you're not in good health, don't do this, just leave it to Chunyu and them, go into the house and rest, don't get cold again."

After Yu Chi Fulin left the Shen Mansion, because he was worried about Jiang Zhu, he rushed directly to the Jiang Mansion, since he came back from Luozhou, he didn't have time to see her, but this time he saw her but was surprised to see that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, which made him feel distressed......

"Brother Flin?"

Jiang Zhu stood up in surprise, but the moment she turned around, she was dizzy and almost fell down because of the long-term squatting, but fortunately, Yu Chi Fulin reached out in time to support her.

"Be careful, your body is not good in the first place, and it's strange that you don't get dizzy if you squat like this for so long."

Yu Chi Fulin said with distress.

"Brother Flin, I'm sorry to worry you."

Jiang Zhu whispered a little embarrassed, his fair skin flushed with an unhealthy flush.

Yu Chi Fulin looked at his head, and while helping her to walk, he said helplessly, "Look at the scorching sun, let's go, go into the house and rest." After speaking, he ordered Chunyu, who was following them, to "go and serve a pot of tea." ”

"Okay, Childe."

Chunyu was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Zhu again, "Bring the snacks I made in the morning, Brother Fulin probably hasn't eaten yet." ”

"Yes, miss."

Spring Rain answered and retreated.

Yu Chi Fulin helped Jiang Zhu into the house, only a few dozen steps away, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Jiang Zhu's smooth forehead, she raised her hand and wiped it gently, and said to Yu Chi Fulin with apologies,

"Brother Flin, I'm sorry, I'm worried about you."

"Xiaozhu, what are you talking about?"

He helped Jiang Zhu to sit down on the chair, and then sat next to her across the table, "I have asked my father and mother to prepare to come over to propose marriage at a later date, and when the time comes, I can take good care of you." ”

"Fringo....."

Jiang Zhu hung his head shyly, his face flushed, how could he talk about such a thing by himself? If his parents heard about it, they would have to kick him out.

"Miss, here comes the snack."

Chunyu came in with snacks and tea, and then retreated to the door with a sense of humor, leaving a couple of lovers alone in the room.

Jiang Zhu looked outside, and saw that there was no one else except Chunyu, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Fulin, have you been lately... The wind doesn't sound good, huh? ”

"What do you know?"

Yu Chi Fulin was shocked in his heart, but he asked quietly on his face.

Jiang Zhu looked at his face carefully, and then replied in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that my father has already ...... It's been a long time since I've been home. "Since she came back from Luozhou, she hasn't seen Jiang Zhengqing.

"And..."
