Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 75

Soon the news spread back to Luodu City. The Fifth Lord of the Shao family, who went out to serve as a foreigner, made great contributions. He not only arrested the remnants of the Pengcheng robbery 15 years ago, but also broke the matter of human sacrifice. The most amazing thing is that this arrest wiped out all the treasures accumulated by these robbers in the past.

The treasures that were cleared up were very valuable, but they were not easy to sell, so they all piled up, but for the imperial court, this was a huge amount of wealth, which could fill the national treasury for a long time.

Shao Ziyu made such a great contribution, so he naturally wanted to be rewarded, and the reward was sent directly to the Shao family, and other merits were recorded in the achievements of Shao Ziyu's foreign ministers, and they were counted together when he returned to the capital.

Here in Pengcheng, the people on Wuzi Island can no longer be controlled, and all the imprisoned children have been rescued and sent back to their relatives. After the initial trial, these prisoners will be escorted to the Criminal Department of Luodu City for trial. Shao Ziyu didn't ask what he wanted wanted news.

Zhu Qi in the prison was released after serving his sentence. Jiu Lao Qi took Le Niang away. Shao Ziyu gave him some silver taels, and hoped that he could find the missing third brother, who wanted to find any clues. Ken give up.

In the prefect, Lin Qingran saw through the case of Shao Ziyu who was still frowning, walked behind him, put his hands on his shoulders and pressed him up, "There is no need to be so impatient, everything will come to light."

Shao Ziyu looked at the files in his hand, and finally gave a wry smile, "Yeah, you're right, don't be in a hurry." It's just that he waited for too long, so when he saw any clues or doubts, he couldn't help but check them out. .

"It's not that there is no gain, is it?" Lin Qingran sat down and faced him face to face, "At least your suspicion is right. The robbery back then was not as simple as it seemed."

Maybe it's for the money for disaster relief, maybe it's for Shao Changzhong and his wife, there are always hidden reasons, "The clues are not broken, isn't this a good first step, when you return to Luodu City, you You can investigate further.”

Shao Ziyu took her hand, "I don't know if I have persisted all these years. Sometimes I think that I should be stubborn and feel that there is no reason, so I will do it so persistently. But now, behind this robber, There must be someone else."

"Then check it out slowly. I have been waiting for more than ten years." Lin Qingran reached out and touched his face, and said with a smile, "Look at you, people have lost a lot of weight because of this, Brother Han My son almost doesn't recognize his father."

Shao Ziyu got up and helped her up as well. The sky outside the window was a bit dark, so he pulled her out of the study, his tone relaxed, "I haven't been out since I came to Pengcheng, our family will go out for a walk in a few days."

Back at the main house, Mama Li sent someone to get the lunch box. Brother Han sat on the boat and played with the doll by himself. His expression was not so joyful. He hadn't seen Shao Ziyu much these days, and he quickly forgot.

Shao Ziyu went to the side of the small bed and hugged him, and halfway through the hug, the expression on his face changed slightly, and when he hugged him, Brother Han thought he would lift himself up high, and clapped his hands in his arms. Jumping in his arms, Shao Ziyu pinched the flesh on his face, "Who does this look like?" He looks so strong.

Lin Qingran was also very helpless. In fact, the food for the child was nothing special, and the supplementary food was not exaggerated when he was six months old. Now it is more than nine months old, and he is drinking breast milk while eating complementary food. The body is much stronger than the average child.

Set up the table here, put down brother Han, his eyes are staring at the food on the small table, the corners of his mouth are drooling, he is embarrassed to see the big guys looking at him, he turned his face away with a smile After a while, he turned back to stare at the table, stretched out his fleshy hand and told Lin Qingran that he wanted to eat.

The nanny came over with his food, the thick stewed porridge accompanied by some soup, it smelled very fragrant, but had no taste, Brother Han couldn't wait to crawl over to eat.

The nanny didn't feed him as fast as he did, and after a while, a small bowl of porridge was drained.

Seeing that his father and mother were still eating, Brother Han knew that Lin Qingran would not feed him what was on the table, so he moved to Shao Ziyu's side, put his little hands on his lap, and kept pushing his little head towards the table Stand on tiptoe.

The appearance of begging for food was extremely interesting. He poked his finger at the table and then poked Shao Ziyu. After attracting his attention, he looked at him innocently, let out an ah, and glanced at the table.

Such a scene must be performed at least once a day, waiting for the table to be removed, he still refuses to give up, his eyes follow the table all the time, sitting there with an aggrieved expression, he can't even eat enough.

Lin Qingran hugged him and slapped his butt. Before going to bed, she still needs to have a meal here, "If you eat any more, you'll become a fool."

Brother Han waved his hand and grabbed her chest, he didn't give him food, he came by himself.

This one is so strong that it hurts a little when it is caught on the flesh. Lin Qingran frowned, Brother Han let go, and fell silent in Lin Qingran's arms

After feeding at night, Lin Qingran asked Si Qin to bring in hot water to cover her chest. Since the child's teeth started to grow, this breastfeeding has become a bit hard. After drinking and drinking, when he was full, he would gnaw and play and grind his teeth directly. .

Fortunately, brother Han is a snack foodie, and he is serious enough when eating, but this month, he has grown several teeth, and it is inevitable that he will bite.

Shao Ziyu didn't avoid it, Lin Qingran came out from behind the screen, and he just watched.

Si Qin withdrew, Lin Qingran sat on the edge of the bed, pushed him, "Come over."

Putting down the book, Shao Ziyu hugged her waist and pulled her in, his chin pressed against her neck, "Where are you going?"

"Stop making trouble." Lin Qingran was hugged tightly by him, bent her legs and wanted to push him away, Shao Ziyu hugged her and pressed her under him, gagged her mouth, and touched her hands down, "Let me see what hurts?" gone."

It wasn't too cold in Pengcheng at the beginning of November. After finishing the affairs in the yamen, Shao Ziyu had four or five days free to accompany Lin Qingran and brother Han to go out for an autumn outing.

The carriage passed by the countryside, and there were piles of straw piled up in the fields where the millet had been cut. Brother Han was curious, and would lie on the small window to watch along the way, and when he saw something, he was busy lighting it with his hands, and passed by after lighting it, and he turned back in a daze Look at Lin Qingran, where are the things?

Their purpose was to stay in a small farm, and Shao Ziyu planned to stay for two days before going somewhere else for a walk.

This village is relatively affluent around Pengcheng. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, there is a large bamboo forest. Every household knows how to weave bamboo.

Just do nothing, live a simple life, lived here for two days, did not visit the village, just went out for a walk with their mother and son.

They lived in Zhuangzi for two days, and Shao Ziyu took them to the lakeside on the third day.

"Come here in June, the lotus is just right." The houses here are interestingly built, all of which are on the lake, forming such a small area, it is not very lively, but there are many people who come here throughout the year, just staying for a few days ,relax for a moment.

Now is the season for picking lotus roots. Standing on the attic, Lin Qingran can see the bottom of the lake that has dried out of the water. The lotus pickers are stepping on the thick mud and digging lotus roots in the mud.

At night, he stewed a pot of lotus root soup, Brother Han drank some, couldn't stop now, broke the table with both hands, and insisted on eating with them.

His soup was very bland. Lin Qingran asked the nanny to add some to him, and fed him slowly with a spoon. He was anxious and wanted to break it with his hands. Lin Qingran glared at him, but he ignored it. Moved his butt towards Shao Ziyu, knowing that he was looking for a backer.

The ten-month-old child can learn to walk, but Brother Han still likes to crawl, and sometimes he just lies there and refuses to move. With his fleshy legs and arms, he can only put on clothes when it is colder, so he can only lie on the bed. roll up and down
After returning to the magistrate two days later, several letters came from Luodu City, addressed to Lin Qingran and to Shao Ziyu, most of which were congratulations on Shao Ziyu's achievements this time, and some were homely things that Lu said.

In mid-October, the sixth sister got married, the seventh sister's marriage had just been decided, the third sister was pregnant again, and the letter written by the second sister to herself was all about the affairs of several brothers-in-law, and four of them were emphasized. My brother-in-law said that he was too motivated, and the fourth sister was a little tired following him.

The fourth sister is cowardly and doesn't pursue much, but the fourth brother-in-law is very self-motivated. This promotion and honor is the goal of the fourth brother-in-law. As the wife, the fourth sister naturally wants to do more for him behind him, but the fourth sister They are not good at these, and the husband and wife seem to quarrel occasionally over such things.

Lin Qingran prepared papers and wrote back letters one by one. On Shao Ziyu's side, except for the one written by Master Shao Er, it was the letter written by Shao Ziming to him.

Master Shao Er didn't mention it in his heart, but Shao Ziming mentioned that the third sister-in-law gave birth to a son, which made the fourth aunt very happy, but then, the fourth uncle's concubine also gave birth to a son, and the fourth aunt was so happy The emotions were suppressed by half, and Sifang had another son, who was still a bastard, but no matter how you looked at it, the fourth aunt was separated.

Shao Ziming wrote this in a cheerful tone. At the end, Shao Ziming mentioned the matter of his second uncle's injury. He fell and hurt his leg, and now he is recuperating at home.

The two of them are far away now and can't help much. After thinking about it, Lin Qingran wrote a letter of inquiry to the second aunt, and brought some good wound medicine.

And the next thing Lin Qingran has to prepare is the New Year gifts to be sent everywhere.

First of all, I was preparing to send it to Luodu City. I prepared it in November, and it was already December. The journey is far away. She must make preparations as soon as possible. Which people must be sent, it is a must. I have made a list and prepared it. All the things are purchased. If it is over, send someone to send it directly to Luodu City.

After finishing the far work, the rest is the nearer work.

The governor of Huizhou is the most important one, and the rest will come down in order, and those whose rank is lower than Shao Ziyu's can wait for them to send them over before sending them back.

It was prepared at the end of November, and it will be ready to be delivered at the beginning of December. Near the end of the year, the yamen has paid all the officials and servants in silver. Shao Ziyu made the decision to reward the silver, and everyone shared a share of the silver, and rewarded it to the people below.

The people on Wuzi Island also sent a lot of things to the yamen. They were so busy until the last few days of the end of the year.
