Ding Rong's tears were real, thanks to the Zhao girl. The Zhao girl taught him that if he couldn't cry, just think about the situation of the elder.
Still unable to cry, he punched himself in the nose.
The Zhao girl told him to pay attention to these details.
Ding Rong's nose was still sore and sore. After Zhao Jingyan persuaded him for a long time, he felt better.
But when he saw Zhao Jingyan, he really hated him and wished he could immediately pull Zhao Jingyan aside and kill him to eliminate harm to the Zhao family.
Ding Rong thought and tightened his hand, and Zhao Jingyan suddenly felt pain in his flesh.
"Second master," Ding Rong said, "the eldest master is in danger. I came back to deliver a message to you, but I was also searched along the way. I wanted to go to the inn to look for you, but I was afraid that I would be targeted and bring trouble to you..."
"Don't worry," Zhao Jingyan said, "Let's find a place and talk slowly if we have anything to say."
Ding Rong nodded with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Jingyan moved his painful arm, and the flesh must have been broken. Ding Rong must have been too excited to act like this, and he couldn't show off openly.
Big things matter.
Zhao Jingyan thought so and pulled Ding Rong towards the woods.
Ding Rong described Zhao Jingyun's situation and handed Zhao Jingyun's letter to Zhao Jingyan.
Zhao Jingyan read the letter twice, for fear of missing something, and then looked at Ding Rong: "My eldest brother said I have something important to ask you?"
Ding Rong looked embarrassed: "Master said, I can't tell you this matter unless I have to. It's so important... I can't tell you."
Zhao Jingyan was even more curious, what on earth was his eldest brother hiding?
Ding Rong said: "The master said that it would not be good for you to know earlier. This is also the last way he left for the Zhao family. If he really makes a mistake and can save you and the Zhao family, then you can just go with me to get it."
If you take those things and take the Zhao family away, you don't want to become an official anymore. Those things are enough to support the Zhao family for a hundred years."
After Ding Rong finished speaking, he still felt that he had said too much, and a look of regret appeared on his face: "Second Master, don't ask anymore. When the critical moment comes, I will take you to find something."
Zhao Jingyan's heart brightened. It was enough to support the Zhao family for a hundred years. He was right, it was just some property.
Eighty percent of the property that the eldest brother can leave behind comes from Young Prince Yu.
Zhao Jingyan sneered secretly, how much money would that be? The eldest brother brought him to Taozhou without saying a word, not letting any of them know that he wanted to use this money to buy an official career?
After the death of Prince Yu, the eyes of the court were all focused on the officials who had dealings with Prince Yu's Mansion. The eldest brother came to Taozhou thinking that he could avoid those eyes and ears, and secretly planned to make a comeback after everyone forgot about Prince Yu's Mansion?
He said, no one is an official without profit. My eldest brother does not know how many benefits he has received from Prince Yu's palace. Thanks to him for asking more, wouldn't he miss it?
Before getting the things, he had to keep Ding Rong. Ding Rong had no defense against him. He could attack Ding Rong at any time. He could also handle Master Sun, so he said he needed Ding Rong to guide him and find his elder brother.
of comrades.
Of course, he would not really go to mobilize reinforcements. He first pretended to agree to Ding Rong and went to Lanzhou with Ding Rong. Master Sun had received the news in advance and would let people keep an eye on the Lanzhou governor. As long as the Lanzhou governor used troops and horses at will, Master Sun could let him
People block it.
Of course, before that, Master Sun had already killed the eldest brother with Jiang Shun leading the way. Once the eldest brother died, the evidence was gone, so what was the use of re-inforcement?
The critical moment will come, and Ding Rong must take him to get something.
"Without further delay," Zhao Jingyan said, "I will go with you to Lanzhou to move reinforcements."
Zhao Jingyan said and looked at Jiang Shun: "When you go to find the eldest master, you must protect him, and then send a message to the eldest wife to reassure her that Taozhou is dangerous, so don't come here yet."
Jiang Shun nodded.
Zhao Jingyan has his own plan. If someone protects his elder brother in Taozhou, the people sent by Lord Sun will not be able to take action.
Jiang shuns the letter from his sister-in-law. The elder brother is worried about his sister-in-law and takes the initiative to leave. Everything will be easy to handle. Two preparations will ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Ding Rong nodded: "I listen to the second master."
The three people discussed again, Jiang Shun left first, Zhao Jingyan led Ding Rong forward, got on his horse, Zhao Jingyan showed a smile, he had to thank Young Prince Yu.
Fortunately, Young Prince Yu is not as upright as rumored, otherwise how would it be his turn to enjoy the money?
…
Shi Jiu sneezed.
Zhao Luoyang sat on the donkey cart with his feet raised and talked to Shi Jiu in his mind.
Zhao Luoyang said: "The system can also sneeze?"
Shi Jiu said: "Maybe it's anthropomorphic behavior." Or someone was talking about him behind his back.
Thinking about what Zhao Luoyang did to smear his face, he didn't have to think about it, it was the latter.
"Then do you know how to snore?" Zhao Luoyang asked, "My little baby snores? Have you also learned how to do it?"
Shi Jiu said: "No."
Mrs. Yang looked at her little granddaughter holding a stick of grass in her mouth and crossing her uncle's feet on the donkey cart. Everyone except the men took turns riding in the donkey cart. This was the first time for her little granddaughter.
Mrs. Yang felt a little distressed and put a baked vegetable pancake into Zhao Luoyang's hand: "Eat quickly, eat more. If you run around all day long, you will lose the most weight in the whole family."
Zhao Luoyang still had compressed biscuits stuffed into her mouth without anyone noticing. She had eaten some beef jerky before, but she wasn't hungry at all now.
But her mother stared at her: "Eat quickly, our family has enough food now, so there is no need to save."
Zhao Luoyang touched his bulging belly and wanted to tell Mrs. Yang that she was full. She stared at her: "I stare at it every day. Yesterday and today you didn't get any cake. On weekdays, you gave it to Yuan Rang.
Yuanji, Yuanbao and the others, what are you doing? Do you want to starve to death? I tell you, you will have to make money to support your family in the future. If you want to collapse in front of your milk, there is no way."
Zhao Luoyang broke off a little bit and wanted to give it to Zhao Yuanbao next to him. Zhao Yuanbao immediately covered his mouth, and Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji also stepped aside.
"Milk, I ate it, I really ate it."
Old Mrs. Yang didn't listen to this and made up her mind that no matter what her granddaughter said, she had to finish the cake.
Zhao Luoyang asked Luo Zhenniang for help to no avail, so he had to stuff the cake into his mouth.
In his mind, Shi Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Is it delicious?" He didn't expect that Zhao Luoyang would stumble on this matter. Ever since the system could redeem things, Zhao Luoyang kept testing and added some to the pot today.
Rice, add some compressed biscuits tomorrow, make some eggs the day after tomorrow, and cook beef porridge.
If she hadn't been afraid that everyone would find out, she would have conjured up all the pork.
Becoming more and more courageous.
Although I didn't think I was caught doing it, I just accidentally leaked stuff on weekdays.
Zhao Luoyang swallowed hard, but did not show weakness: "It's delicious, do you want to eat it?"
Shi Jiu said: "I don't need to eat." If he could eat, Zhao Luoyang would definitely give him the wild vegetable cake.
Zhao Luoyang sighed inwardly.
Shi Jiu continued: "It's delicious, just eat more."
Zhao Luoyang swallowed quickly and couldn't help but choked. He quickly opened the water bag and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water.
Luo Zhenniang thought Zhao Luoyang was very hungry, so she stepped forward and patted her back in distress: "Eat slowly, there are still some here after you finish." When leaving the inn, everyone baked a lot of wild vegetable pancakes.
, now is the time when there is a lot of food to eat, how can we let the children go hungry?
Shi Jiu's laughter could be heard in Zhao Luoyang's mind.
The Zhao family was concerned about Zhao Luoyang on the donkey cart when Zhao Xueli came over from the front and said, "You will keep your head down for a while and no one should speak."
After listening to her father's words, Zhao Luoyang raised her head and looked into the distance. She saw a group of people walking slowly on the official road, and they would soon be overtaken by them.
The donkey cart also slowed down, but it still caught up with those people. Everyone lowered their heads and glanced at the people who were locked up.
They should be the relocated people who were arrested by the government and wanted to "escape".
The men were tied together, followed by the old, weak, women and children. The shoes on these people's feet had long been gone, and many of them had ulcers on their soles.
One by one staggered, their cheeks were sunken, their lips were chapped, the blood stains were covered up by dust, and their eyes were dim and dull.
A child begged for a drink of water and was immediately kicked by a guard.
The leader glanced at Zhao Xueli and the others. When the donkey cart passed by, a guard reached out and grabbed a water bag from the donkey cart.
Ding Maosheng's daughter-in-law, Tian, didn't dare to say anything in the car. The officer wanted to look at the car. Zhao Xueli had already greeted her. He had four or five water bags in his hand, as well as a few wild vegetable cakes. He bowed and smiled and offered them to the officer.
.
Seeing that Zhao Xueli was a sensible person, the officer waved his hand and asked someone to collect the things, and then ignored Zhao Xueli and others.
Zhao Xueli glanced at Mr. Song in the car, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
When they settled at the inn, they bought some more things, made a lot of cakes, and bought some water bags. They were afraid that they would encounter these things on the way. Now they just wanted to get to Taozhou quickly and would rather leave some money.
After walking far away, Zhao Luoyang got off the donkey cart and got into Mr. Song's donkey cart.
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang said, "those people seem to take special care of the young women. I saw them and locked up more than twenty of them. They just gave them water and food."
Mr. Song nodded: "It's not surprising. This place is close to the border. In addition to buying and selling goods, people are also worth money. Young female relatives are sold at the highest price."
After saying this, Mr. Song sneered: "The relocation order, huh, how many people will be harmed if you encounter evil-hearted officials."
Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji also listened and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Mr. Song continued: "But we are about to arrive in Taozhou. They don't dare to do this too blatantly. They have to have a reason to arrest people. It's just a move on a remote road. After all, Taozhou has people sent by the imperial court to help.
Those responsible for resettling the relocated people are making such a big fuss that no one can explain it to them."
"It will be much more peaceful going forward."
Zhao Luoyang nodded.
Mr. Song said: "We are almost arriving at Min County, and we will have to find out more information on the way."
There will be many people entering Taozhou from Min County.
After arriving in Min County, they had to ask around for the man named Sui Ji.
As Mr. Song said, in the next two days they met the arrested "escapees" and were interrogated, but there was no intention of taking them away by force.
"There are more soldiers and horses guarding the city," Shi Jiu reminded Zhao Luoyang in his mind, "You must be more careful. Don't go around asking for information yet."
As soon as Shi Jiu finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the city gate.
