The old man looked at Fan Rong and sighed, his own boss is also the ability to keep the success, lack of courage, he thinks he has a little ability, and wants to reflect himself more, but once he really encounters something, he does not have the kind of temperament and mind that is not chaotic in danger and does not panic in the face of change, and his ability to deal with emergencies is very poor.

Alas, the future of the Fan family is worrying.

The old man asked Fan Rong to sit down, there is no point in being anxious now, the key is to see how deeply the boss is involved in this, whether it will leave a handle for the pirates and make the pirates unfavorable to the Fan family.

Fan Rong's mood calmed down a little at this time, and he slowly explained the situation in detail.

Since discovering the whereabouts of the bandits, Fan Rong arranged for several guests at home to keep an eye on the bandits' whereabouts.

He knew the serious consequences of this matter, so the few guests who arranged for him were all people who almost did not appear in the Fan family, and they had all walked on the rivers and lakes for many years, just because they were old and did not want to live on the knife edge, so they relied on the Fan family for stability.

These Keqing are still a bit good at tracking, the old man, whether it is martial arts or experience, they are first-class, and it is still difficult to mix in the Fan family without any real skills.

As a result, there was indeed a gain, and the whereabouts of several groups of pirates really did not escape. Fan Rong actually has a little bit of an eyebrow in the past few days, combined with the news, he also thought that the purpose of the bandits was Taiyang, so he secretly ordered a few shopkeepers in Taiyang to transfer some gold and silver to the Jiangkou at any time in case of accidents.

After listening to this, the old man pondered for a long time, knowing that it was still good for Fan Rong to be cautious in doing things, and he would not take risks rashly.

But the old man still faintly felt that there was a problem, this time the affairs of the Lu family looked very strange, and it was also very unreasonable, he thought that his eyes had not yet spent, why couldn't he see clearly, it seemed that it was time to go to Yangzhou.

The old man's feeling is right, he has been in charge of the Fan family for nearly forty years, and he is indeed not incompetent, whether it is experience or calm thinking when encountering problems, it is not comparable to Fan Rong.

Although those few guests are very careful and have good tracking skills, there are also powerful characters among the pirates.

The other bandits really didn't notice anything, only Jiang Dazui, who was born as a street gangster.

Since he was a child, he has been begging and stealing on the beach in Zhangzhou for a living, and sometimes he sells some news, often selling news from the government to pirates, and later simply became a secret agent of the pirates.

Jiang Dazui noticed it the next day, someone was following, and for this reason, he also specially arranged a subordinate to follow him, but because of Keqing's vigilance, he knew that this group of people was more difficult, and he didn't find it good, so he withdrew directly, so he was not exposed.

Jiang Dazui was also depressed, I don't know if this action was detected, of course, there is no direct evidence and it is not easy to tell Du Cheng, so there is a suggestion to the Lu family to kill the mouth, whether there is evidence or not, whether it is the Lu family or not, it is a hundred killed.

On July 13, Yuan Rui got up in the morning and took advantage of the cool weather to go to the field, looking at the heavy ears of rice in the paddy field, he was still very happy.

Born as a farmer, he is happiest when the crops are ripe. Although the family is not poor, the rice harvest is very important for the family, it is a year's ration, and it is also a year's worth of household expenses.

Now that the paddy has gradually turned yellow, it will turn golden later, and it will be harvested in a maximum of ten years. This year's rice ears are a bit big, I don't know if it's because of the reduction of insect pests, of course, Yuan Rui felt it at this time.

Sometimes when he meets a few old farmers who are also looking at the fields, Yuan Rui will stop and chat a few words, nothing more than that this year's harvest is good, there will be more than two or three percent, and whether it is possible to marry a daughter-in-law this year and buy a cow......

It wasn't until Xiaohe came out and called him to eat that Yuan Rui walked home unsatisfied.

Sitting on the recliner in the gazebo, Yuan Rui pretended to hold a book and couldn't read it at all.

He himself feels degenerate, too lazy, what is the struggle, such a small landlord's life, what can he do to be a first-class official, the current imperial power, one person is supreme, there is no personal thought at all, to be an official, it is boring to bully the subordinates.

After being fed a few melons and fruits by Xiaohe, Yuan Rui simply threw the book aside and closed his eyes to take a nap.

In the evening, I took the small river, went to the Ji River, sat under the big tree, and started fishing.

There was a little breeze, a little wave on the river, and the fish were drifting, which was not a good time for fishing.

This day has changed a little, and I heard that there has been rain in the past few days, and it seems that it is true that there are piles of smooth fish swimming on the surface of the water, and they don't want to stay in the sultry water.

Looking at these small fish who are not afraid of death, Xiaohe thought about fishing out these fish directly with a net, but unfortunately he didn't see any of them.

Yuan Rui smiled, he didn't mean to fish, he couldn't go back to sleep now, there must be something to pass the time.

The two of them were leisurely enjoying their time in the countryside, and Dashan hurriedly ran over, "Young Master, there are guests at home, and I am in a hurry, I want you to go back quickly," maybe he was in a hurry, and he was a little out of breath.

Yuan Rui frowned, glanced at the mountain, and knew his character, he should be a person he knew. The outside of the mountain looks simple, but for the things at home, no one asks a word.

Looking at the second son of Lu with a heavy expression, although Yuan Rui didn't know what was going on, he understood that it must be a big deal.

"I just got the news in the afternoon, the Taiyang Lu family was wiped out, and now the murderer is unknown," the second son seems to have rushed over directly after getting the news, "A few days ago, when a shopkeeper from my family Xing'an came to the house, he occasionally mentioned one thing, and now Xing'an has newly transferred more than 1,000 battalions of troops to be stationed on the outskirts of Xing'an," Looking at Yuan Rui, the second son whispered another thing.

Yuan Rui was stunned, how could these two things feel unrelated, "The second son knows something, don't let the younger brother guess the riddle, you see I stay in the countryside every day, how can I know so much," Yuan Rui simply asked directly.

Yuan Rui is still a little homely, and some things have been experienced too little personally and lack feelings. Although he knows a little bit about history, he knows the general direction, but some small details are still unfamiliar, he really doesn't know much about the pirates, only knows that the heinous crimes committed by the dwarf ghost people against the people of the country later, the whole struggle lasted for almost a hundred years.

What he didn't know was that before a large number of dwarves entered the pirates, many of the pirates were misorganized, including Marleys, Pennsylvanns, Nantoes, and of course, dwarves. The current bandits are not rampant, the number is relatively small, and the court has not attracted enough attention, so Yuan Rui has not paid attention to these.

The second son looked at him a little helplessly, it turned out that Yuan Rui was a nerd and didn't understand current affairs, he didn't believe it, he had met him a few times, but he had his own ideas about many things, he was smarter, he could be flexible, and he was a little anxious.

Now he is a little convinced, he came here on purpose, just because he was worried that he was still as confused as before, and his life was really not guaranteed. The tragedy of the Lu family this time has sounded the alarm for many big families, and they are all making preparations, for fear that some bandits will come to the door.

Yuan Rui couldn't sleep all night, he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he still couldn't count the number of sheep. He didn't know what was wrong, a little inexplicable, he couldn't figure out a lot of things that the second son said, as if he had nothing to do with him, and he seemed to have ignored something.

finally survived in a daze until the early hours of the morning, my eyes probably couldn't bear it, I was stunned and closed, and I fell asleep as if I was awake again.

He seemed to hear the continuous explosion again, and saw his slowly disappearing body, and suddenly woke up again, and then Yuan Rui simply got up and walked outside.

It was dawning, and it was getting a little gloomy and a little hot. For a whole day, Yuan Rui seemed to be confused, after breakfast, he began to be sleepy, so he lay in the gazebo, and Xiaohe was slowly fanning the wind.

I didn't eat two mouthfuls of food at noon, and I went back to sleep in the afternoon, Xiaohe was strange and kept asking him what was wrong.

In the evening, I don't know if it was windy during the day, Yuan Rui began to have a fever.

Xiaohe was the first to know that Yuan Rui had a fever, and he was very anxious, so he went to prepare a towel and hurriedly told his parents to ask Dashan to find a doctor quickly. Looking at Yuan Rui, who was asleep on the bed, Xiaohe was really distressed, and she remembered every bit of beauty during this time.

When the doctor came over and prescribed the medicine, Dashan followed him to get the medicine, and after being busy in the middle of the night, Xiaohe looked at Yuan Rui, who had fallen asleep with the medicine, and was a little relieved, although the heat did not completely drop, but he felt much better.

In the second half of the night, the rain began to rain heavily, and in an instant, the water from the roof flowed down the eaves. At this time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is so loud that people are scared to listen to.

Yuan Rui woke up, slept for a day, and also fainted for a day, looking at Xiaohe lying on the side of the bed, Yuan Rui got up gently, hugged Xiaohe to the bed, and covered the quilt, Xiaohe should have been too tired, and he didn't wake up, with a smile on his face.

Standing on the edge of the door, looking at the pouring rain outside, Yuan Rui still remembers some details of the dream clearly, thinking back to everything he has experienced, he seems to have completely lived once, and even some memories that have been forgotten in the back of his mind have returned.

The rainwater in the courtyard fell to the ground, flowed around along the gaps between the stone slabs, like veins, and finally collected into the gutters, and then flowed into the Ji River, and ran down the Ji River to the river.

Yuan Rui's gaze followed the flow of water, slowly looking into the distance, looking far away.

He seemed to see fire everywhere in the distance for hundreds of miles, fire jumping in the rain, and people everywhere in the firelight, some running all the time, some people together, and some hiding in the house. The streets were full of piles of people, and the roads were covered with ground. The rain flowed down the streets, reflecting the red fire, and it looked so red.

He seemed to be standing at a height of several hundred meters, looking down at the earth, looking through the clouds and mist at the crowd of people like ants, they used big knives, spears, hands and feet, and even teeth, tearing at their opponents, it doesn't matter if they fall, it doesn't matter if their arms are broken, it doesn't matter if their legs are broken, Yuan Rui saw that their eyes were shining with unyielding light.

This night is destined to be sleepless for many people!!
