It was almost noon after leaving Netherworld Ze and arriving at the small town in the north. Chen Su bought some clothes for each of the four children to change into, and prepared a lot of food. After being delayed for almost an hour, Chen Su hired three people at the entrance of the town.
There were two carriages, one carrying Yang Jin and four people heading north, and the other two carrying Uncle Chen Su and his nephew Ting Yan respectively. Yue Song was going to follow Song Yi, and the two teams waved goodbye.
The distance from Jiuli Town to Pingya is not that far. Pingya City governs Zhucheng, where the government agencies of the Beizhu State are located. Some people even directly call Pingya the capital of Wei. Pingya is also the largest city in the north of Dongjing State.
, further south of Zhucheng is the general city where the generals of the North Zhu Kingdom live. It is the real center of power in the entire north. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and the generals of the Zhu Kingdom cannot be seen. The general city is usually extremely well guarded. Chen
Su and others hired a carriage to cross the Netherworld. Now Jiuli Town has become Shenjiazhuang. All vehicles and pedestrians have to take a detour and can only take the path between Shenjiazhuang and Qihuang Town. In fact, Qihuang Town was originally
This is where the third branch of the Shen family is located, but now the two towns have the potential to merge into one, because they have completely fallen under the rule of the Shen family. Here, the surname Shen has become the king and hegemony.
Invisible in the carriage, Chen Su closed his eyes and meditated. When he passed the official road between Qihuang Town and Shenjiazhuang, it was peaceful and quiet. The Shen family seemed to have forgotten the dungeon attack that happened a few days ago. Not only
There were no cards set up along the way, and no news was even spread. Song Yi also felt a little strange that such a big thing happened, and the Shen family could remain indifferent. However, they were naturally happy with the Shen family's current attitude, which was much less.
Trouble, two days later, after passing several villages and shops along the way, Chen Su and others approached Pingya City.
Upon entering Pingya, the first thing Chen Su had to do was to send Yue Song to Tiancang Rice Shop to find his uncle. After all, it was inconvenient to move with a child, so the carriage took them directly to the southeast of Pingya City.
Asking about Tiancang Rice Shop, many people know it, so this place is not difficult to find. When they arrived in front of the rice shop, Chen Su paid the fare. The five people got off the carriage and looked to the side of the road. It was really big.
There is a rice shop with all eight doors open. Workers are busy coming in and out inside and outside the doors. The huge grain farm in the rice shop is more than ten feet high, which is a prosperous scene.
Chen Su looked intently for a moment, took Yue Song's hand and asked, "Yue Song, do you know your uncle?"
Yue Song shook his head, "I don't know. My mother left me and my father when I was very young." Yue Song knew that it wouldn't be long before he would have to live with a strange uncle, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It's better to go and inquire." Song Yi looked at the bustling crowd, looking for someone to ask.
"Second uncle, you take good care of Yue Song, or should I go." After saying that, Chen Su walked towards the door of Mipu, but was stopped by two strong men with their hands, "Hey? This is an important place for warehouses, and no idlers are allowed to enter.
!When buying and selling grain, you must go there and register your name."
Chen Suli stood at the door, looking at the two strong men, and said hello with a kind smile, "Two eldest brothers, I brought a child to join his uncle. Do you know a man named Jiang Yi?"
"Jiang Yi?" The two men looked at each other, "You said you want to find Jiang Yi?"
"That's right." Chen Su turned back and pointed at Yue Song, "I was entrusted by this child's grandfather to deliver him to his uncle Jiang Yi. According to his grandfather, his uncle is in Tiancang, southeast of Pingya City.
Rice shop work."
"Yes." The two men nodded. It seemed that what the young man said was not a lie, and there were indeed three people with a child behind him. One of the strong men said: "You wait here first, I will go in and give it to you."
Give me a shout out."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Su clasped his fists and watched a strong man turn around and enter the rice shop. The workers were still going in and out, and then Chen Su noticed that all the rice shop workers were on the right.
There is a thumb-sized word "rice" printed on each arm, it seems that the rules here are also very strict.
Not long after, a dark-skinned middle-aged man came out following the man who had gone in earlier. As he walked, he asked, "Did he come to see me by name?"
The strong man nodded, "Yes, he also said that he sent your nephew here, and the child is also outside the door." The dark-skinned middle-aged man looked puzzled. He looked at Chen Su for a few times at the door, and then gave him a fist.
, "Jiang Yi, I wonder who you are?"
This middle-aged man is not tall, slightly fatter, but his skin is much darker than that of ordinary people. Chen Su returned the favor and said, "I have been entrusted by someone to send a child here to join his uncle." Chen Su did not want to be named.
He turned around and said hello. Song Yi took Yue Song's hand and came closer. Chen Su looked at Yue Song and asked: "Yue Song, do you still know your uncle?"
Yue Song blinked and looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged man. After a long time, he timidly shook his head. Jiang Yi looked at Yue Song and said enthusiastically, "Oh, I haven't seen you in a few years. I didn't expect that the child is already here."
He has grown so big, and when I saw him, he was still only this long." Jiang Yi gestured with his hands as he spoke, with a smile hidden in his brows, "Can you please bring the child over, if you don't mind, I will.
Go sit at home." After saying that, Jiang Yi turned back to the two strong men and said, "When Mr. Qin comes here later, give me a leave of absence and say that I have a visitor at home, go back and entertain him."
Chen Su looked at Song Yi. Although he had lived in Jiuli Town for more than ten years, he had never been to Pingya City. Song Yi smiled all over his face and said, "Since such kindness is hard to refuse, we might as well send Yue Song home by the way.
"At this time, Yue Song kept holding Song Yi's hand and refused to let go, seeming very nervous.
Chen Su had no choice but to nod, "In that case, we won't bother you."
"Don't bother, don't bother." Jiang Yi said and wanted to reach out to Yue Song, but was cleverly avoided. He smiled awkwardly and had to lead the way. Chen Su and others followed him around the entrance of Mipu.
Main street, and soon came to a small alley next to it.
"This is a humble abode, everyone, please!" Jiang Yi stopped in front of a red-painted gate deep in the alley. As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the courtyard door. The courtyard was quite spacious, with six main rooms.
The courtyard was swept clean and tidy, and then Jiang Yi invited everyone into the courtyard one by one. He stood in front of the court and shouted loudly: "Dad, we have a guest at home."
The door opened with a creak, and an elderly man walked out. When Chen Su saw it, he froze in front of the court. At this moment, the old man also saw Chen Su. He was also shocked and asked tremblingly:
"Is this person the son of Mr. Chen?"
Chen Su recognized that this old man was the doctor Qin Zhong he was looking for, but what was going on? Why did Jiang Yi call him daddy? "Are you Doctor Qin?"
Qin Zhong hurried forward to greet him, "It's really Mr. Chen, please come in quickly, please come in." He glanced at Jiang Yi and said, "Yi'er, go and close the door. I'll prepare some wine and food later.
Dad wants to entertain distinguished guests."
"Yes!" Jiang Yi responded respectfully, "Master, please come in!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the yard, closing the door behind him.
Qin Zhong knew that Chen Su must have many questions in his mind, and since he was able to bring Yue Song here, Qin Zhong also guessed the reason, "Mr. Chen, please invite me from the back room."
"Doctor Qin please!"
The group of people entered the room and sat down. Qin Zhong boiled water and served tea. Chen Su was already anxious and unbearable, but seeing Qin Zhong busy back and forth, he felt embarrassed to speak. After the tea was served, Qin Zhong sat down at the main seat and Chen Sucai
He opened his mouth and asked: "Doctor Qin, why did you come to Pingya? And that Uncle Jiang, why did he call you that?"
Qin Zhong sighed and shook his head, "It's a long story. As early as when the Shen family was requisitioning land, I knew that a disaster was coming, and I secretly tried to persuade some people, but they just didn't believe it. Fortunately, I came early
I built this courtyard in Pingya, otherwise I might not be able to escape the miserable end."
"Grandpa Qin." Yue Song recognized Qin Zhong at this time, and choked up with tears. Qin Zhong called Yue Song to come closer, "My child, your grandpa and I had a meeting. Now that we are here, you can return home."
Now that we are home, I will definitely not let down your grandfather's painstaking efforts." After saying that, Qin Zhong explained to Chen Su: "The one just now is indeed my son, but in order to avoid being noticed, I let him follow my mother.
My surname has been living in Pingya City for many years, and when I left Jiuli Town, I only told his grandfather Yue Ping about this matter."
"So that's it." Chen Su nodded, "It seems that Mr. Yue has good intentions. In order not to expose your whereabouts, he even hid it from me. I also asked him about your whereabouts at that time, and he
But he only said that you might have come to Pingya." Chen Su thought about the situation at that time and realized that Yue Ping was really secretive. If he could not fulfill his contract and send Yue Song here, he might never find Qin Zhong.
"Doctor Qin, I have some other things I want to ask you about." Chen Su stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Zhong respectfully. Qin Zhong looked serious, "Mr. Chen, please sit down and talk, I
I just have something I want to say to you."
Chen Su took a deep breath and rationalized his thoughts, "Doctor Qin, I remember that I was instructed by you to go to the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death to seek medicine. However, when I returned later, I heard someone said that my father died only five days after I left.
He died of his injuries, is that really what happened?"
Qin Zhong thought about the past and nodded, "It was indeed only five days. When I went back that day, Boss Chen was already furious. I tried all my methods. The situation just didn't get better, and it would be over by sunset."
Chen Suqiang held back his tears and thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Qin." Then he was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Doctor Qin, after my father passed away, Aunt Rou and Min'er were nowhere to be found, and I heard someone say a few days ago
, when the Shen family moved their graves, Dr. Qin also helped preside over it, so what exactly are these things going on?"
