"After I'm gone, you have to be careful. The child will be born in two months, and there is no room for error. And also...... You have to beware of the second room. You can't have the heart to hurt others, you can't have the heart to prevent people, and it's always good to think a little more. ”

Old Madam Shen hesitated for a moment and said her last advice.

Shen Yuechen heard this, and his heart tightened slightly.

Seeing that her face changed slightly, Mrs. Shen hurriedly said, "At my age, I always think about things more complicated. I just wanted to remind you of nothing else. At this time, anyone with a little conscience will not fall into the trap of your mother and son. Before, the second young master Nylon went to Cangzhou in person, which shows that he is still affectionate. ”

To be honest, Shen Yuechen is also grateful for what Zhu Jinlun did.

However, gratitude is gratitude, and caution is caution, and the two do not conflict.

Old Mrs. Shen immediately reached out and touched her belly, just in time for the child in her belly to move again, and couldn't help laughing: "This child is a boy with so much strength." ”

The old lady had begged hundreds of times in front of the Buddha before, hoping that Shen Yuechen could be blessed by the Buddha, and in one fell swoop, she would be a man, her mother and son would be safe, and she would be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. In this way, when her old bones can't support it one day, meeting Shen Yuechen's mother Lin under Jiuquan can also make her feel at ease.

Shen Yuechen had long been accustomed to the child's fetal movements, but Fang Cai's kick seemed to have saved up enough strength, which still provoked her to bend over subconsciously, and said a little helplessly: "This little guy seems to be always in a hurry to come out, and he has to roll in his stomach every day." ”

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and narrowed her eyes, "If a child can make trouble, it means that he is healthy." In the future, when it is born, it will be able to feed. When you get back, you have to give him a good name. ”

Shen Yuechen's heart trembled slightly, and he only lowered his head and said, "Well, when the uncle comes back, I will definitely ask him to give the child a good name." ”

Old Mrs. Shen was stunned when she heard this, and nodded slightly in agreement. "It's good, it's good." But there was a long sigh in his heart.

In other words, Zhu Jinlun lived in Cangzhou for more than a month, but still failed to find Zhu Jintang's whereabouts.

He didn't want to give up, but the more he searched for it, the more hopeless he felt......

Several times, he wanted to go home, but when he thought of his grandfather and grandmother at home, as well as Shen Yuechen with a big belly, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

He will have to go back sooner or later, but he will have to give an explanation to his family when the time comes. However, there were some things he really couldn't say......

Thinking of this, Zhu Nylon had to bite the bullet and stay in Cangzhou for a few more days.

Seeing this, his friends came over to persuade him not to waste time. No one will survive such a thing of blocking the road and robbing money. Those bandits are all ruthless masters, as long as they get their hands on the goods, they will not leave them alive. Even, some people persuaded Zhu Jinlun to go back and arrange the funeral as soon as possible, so as not to make the elders in the family sad.

Zhu Jinlun turned a deaf ear to these persuasions, and said in his heart, no matter what, he must give his family an explanation, whether he is dead or alive, he must always find out.

He stayed in Cangzhou for nearly two months, and there was no clue. On the other side, the Ouchi Praetorian Guards have gained a lot of things through overt and covert visits.

It turns out that in recent months, such cases of roadblocks and robberies have occurred in many places. Moreover, the targets of the attack are all some large households, and most of the goods stolen are grain and grass.

Nothing in this world is an absolute coincidence.

The imperial court has waged war against foreign tribes and is collecting grain from all over the country, not only the Zhu family, but also many large grain merchants in the north are looking for food sources.

Rice in the south is harvested twice a year, while rice in the north is harvested once a year. Everyone came here to collect grain, and after the news spread, it was inevitable that some people would have crooked hearts and want to take advantage of the situation to rob and make a fortune.

However, since it is for the sake of wealth, once the grain is robbed, it will inevitably be sold at a high price in large quantities on the market, but there is no whereabouts of these looted grains.

Not only Zhu Jinlun felt suspicious, but even the people in the capital also felt suspicious.

If it's jewelry, gold or silver, it doesn't matter how long it's hidden. However, it is really incomprehensible that so many freshly beaten grains have been secretly hidden.

The price difference between new rice and old rice is more than twice as much.

Could it be that there are such stupid thieves in the world, who would rather watch the grain become old and old than take out the silver that is exchanged for white flowers.

If you think about it a little further, if it's not for money, then why would those people rob wantonly?

Li Zheng was still busy with the war in the north. However, when I heard Ruan Linluo talk about this, I couldn't help but feel that there must be something strange in this.

A while ago, a group of rebellious and trouble-making parties sprang out in the Fengzhou area, their momentum was huge, menacing, and they were strong and strong, and they seemed to have a very deep foundation. Everywhere you go, there will be rivers of blood, which is completely different from the small fights of those alien barbarians before.

Originally, it was just two things that were not related, but in Li Zheng's heart, they were inextricably linked.

Those people, if they ask not for money, but for food. That indirectly means that food is what they need.

With hundreds of stones of food, who would need so much food...... Is it to store food to raise soldiers and plan a rebellion......

Thinking of this, Li Zheng's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Ruan Linluo saw that his face was wrong, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Holy Lord, what's wrong with you?" Is it that the concubine said something wrong? ”

Li Zheng's temper has become much more irritable recently, a little moody, and when he is with him, Ruan Linluo always has to be more careful, for fear of accidentally annoying him.

Li Zheng grabbed her hand and said, "Aifei, you really give me a wake-up call." It's really wrong, it's very wrong. ”

Ruan Linluo was caught by him, and before he could ask carefully, Li Zheng suddenly took a step forward and hurriedly walked out of the palace gate.

Li Zheng issued an order overnight to ask local officials in various localities to report the specific circumstances of the recent grain robbery incident, the place where the incident occurred, the process, and the amount of grain lost.

Three days later, the results sorted out shocked Li Zheng.

The total loss of grain and grass in various places is more than 3,000 stones.

If so much food is used to feed soldiers, how many people should be able to feed?

Someone wants to be opposed! Someone wants to be opposed!

Li Zheng had blue muscles on his forehead, clenched his fists with both hands, and smashed heavily on the dragon case, which shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and persuaded the saint to take care of the dragon body.

Li Huan knelt among the ministers, bowed his head slightly, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Xindao, Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you finally know how to write the word "afraid".

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it became colder and colder outside.

Occasionally, the wind blows, but it blows all day and all night, as if it is endless.

The old lady cheered up and took care of the household affairs with the Li family, firstly to prepare things for the winter, secondly, to prepare the ancestral priests and the New Year, and finally to open a porridge shop in the suburbs to relieve the victims and homeless who came from the disaster.

The old lady thought that doing more good deeds would be tantamount to accumulating yin virtue for her grandson Jintang, and hoped that after God saw it, he could bless their Jintang to come back as soon as possible.

No matter what, life has to go on. The Chinese New Year is not far away, so it's time to prepare in advance. If he continues to live so lifelessly, it will really become a funeral for Zhu Jintang.

The old man means that everything is simple, don't be extravagant and wasteful, but you still have to have what you should have, and you can't lose face and rules.

The Ruan family came to a letter two days ago, saying that the Holy Lord personally issued an edict to release the emperor's list and severely punish the bandits from all over the country, and it was bound to clear them up.

On the letter, they also lightly tapped the situation in the DPRK and China, saying that Zhu Jintang was in distress, which was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there might be a bigger conspiracy inside......

As soon as Shen Yuechen saw the word "conspiracy", her temples jumped and hurt.

It sounds so dangerous that you can't think of anything bad.

Shen Yuechen closed the letter paper, returned the letter to Mrs. Zhu with a slight tremor in her hand, her face was slightly pale and a little ugly.

The old lady also had a calm face, put the letter away, and said, "Except for you, only the old man and I have read this letter." Neither your father-in-law nor your mother-in-law know about it, so you have to keep it a secret for the time being. ”

Shen Yuechen nodded silently, thinking, since none of them had seen it, why did the old lady show it to herself? It's weirdly worried, weird and uneasy......

The old lady sighed and said, "The reason why I hide from them and only show you alone is because I trust you, and I also hope that you will have a little bottom in your heart." Jintang is ten fierce and nine dangerous this time, if he really has three strengths and two weaknesses...... Brother Ming'er is too young, if he wants to inherit the family business, then the second room will definitely not agree. So, you have to have a plan in mind. ”

They all hope that Zhu Jintang can come back, but if he really has no news for a year and a half, then the atmosphere at home is bound to change.

Therefore, the second elder of the Zhu family has already prepared for the worst in his heart, and the big deal is to split up. Taking advantage of the news of Zhu Jintang's death, before it was really confirmed, the family business was divided into two parts in the order of eldest and youngest, the one with the eldest room and the smaller one with the second room......

Shen Yuechen's mind was a little stiff for a while, his heartbeat also accelerated, and the reaction was digested for a long time before he replied: "What do you mean, Yuechen understands." The family business of the Zhu family has always been passed on to the descendants, but not to the ancestors, and not to the second. I must hold a chance for Brother Ming. ”
