Chapter 158: Secrets
Midnight.
Wen Xiaolou and Shen Bao had already fallen asleep, and Shen Ni and his mother were lying on the bed chatting.
At this time, there was a knock at the courtyard door, as if someone was opening the door.
"Who?" Shen Niniang suddenly became nervous, quickly lit the kerosene lamp, stood at the door and asked.
Shen Ni was not at ease, and also walked over.
"It's me!" The visitor shouted, a hint of tiredness in his voice.
"Huh? It's my dad! ”
Shen Ni hurriedly pushed open the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Ni's father.
"Daddy!" Shen Ni exclaimed with surprise on his face.
"Ah, my daughter is back!" Shen Ni's father was also quite surprised to see Shen Ni, and he didn't care about closing the door, so he walked over directly.
Shen Ni excitedly took his hand and pulled him back into the house.
"Daddy, it's really time for you to come back, if you come back tomorrow, I'll leave."
"Yes! Then I'm in luck."
"That's not it, that's right, this is my father-in-law, you've seen it, wake up."
"Don't, let him sleep!" Shen Ni's father stopped Shen Ni, took off his clothes and sat on the kang.
Shen Niniang poured him a cup of hot water and asked, "It's so late, why did you come back?" ”
Shen Ni's face suddenly sank, and he subconsciously glanced at Wen Xiaolou in his sleep.
Sensing that something was wrong, Shen Ni asked repeatedly, "Dad, is something wrong?" ”
"Alas!". Shen Nidad sighed, it seemed that something was definitely wrong.
"What the hell is going on? Daddy, say it quickly." As soon as he thought that it might be about Wen Xiaolou, Shen Ni was in a hurry and urged him to hurry up.
Shen Ni Dad told her not to worry, and then explained: "What to say, if you want to understand the beginning and end of this matter, you have to start with the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Thirty years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered the north and south, leveled the Northern Song Dynasty, destroyed the Western Chu, and determined the Xiongnu, and finally confronted the invincible Southern Han Dynasty.
During that time, there was news of war every day, which made people panic.
This dozen is a full decade, and finally twenty years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty swallowed the Southern Han Dynasty and dominated the world.
Of course, these things are not what we, the small people of Shengdou, have to care about, and it has nothing to do with us who wins the world.
However, twenty years ago, a major event happened, for some unknown reason, the Great Zhou Dynasty ordered all newborn babies to be arrested and all of them to be executed.
This move aroused public anger, and the whole country, regardless of men, women, and children, all stood up to protest, and there was an uproar for a while.
Later, when the Great Zhou Dynasty saw that the situation was not good, it stopped poisoning the baby......"
Twenty years ago, Shen Ni was not born yet, so naturally I didn't know, but when I heard Daddy say this, I could also feel the desperate atmosphere at that time.
The child is the life of a mother and the life of a family, and the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked all babies, so it is no wonder that they do not provoke the anger of the public.
"Dad, what do you say all this has to do with us?"
The thought was fleeting, Shen Ni didn't care about this, she just wanted to know why Daddy was so nervous about the affairs of twenty years.
Shen Ni Dad took a sip of hot water and continued: "The matter is on this issue, I thought everything was over, but it didn't.
In the past few days when I was on an errand in the Yamen, I heard a lot of rumors, it is said that for so many years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has not stopped mutilating babies, but has moved from the open side to the background.
This morning, I heard the news that the county government is secretly investigating the information of all the 20-year-old men in the jurisdiction, and once it is confirmed, they will be arrested and put in prison......"
