Parents are busy farming

A flash of pain flashed in Ye Zifen's eyes, "My fishing boat was in the Lingnan coastal area. It was probably detained by the local government while replenishing fresh water. Not only that, everyone on my fishing boat was imprisoned by them, and even more What's too much is that they sent these people to the battlefield. If these people didn't have some kung fu skills, they would have become bones by now. "

Speaking of this, Ye Zifen's voice involuntarily raised an octave, and her emotions became more and more excited, even a little out of control.

She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms, but she didn't seem to feel the pain.

When Old Master Hong, who was originally in a good mood, heard these words, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

His eyes widened and he yelled angrily: "You bastard!"

At this moment, the anger in Old Master Hong's heart was burning fiercely and difficult to calm down.

He never imagined that such a thing would happen. He felt indignant for Ye Zifen and full of resentment towards those who acted recklessly.

Ye Zifen said excitedly, "When I learned that they had sent out a distress signal at the border, I decided without hesitation to rush to the capital. You simply cannot imagine the miserable conditions these people have endured at the border. They are starving and cold, lacking clothes to keep warm, and even more distressing is that some of them even cannot get timely treatment after being injured. They are all talents that I have carefully cultivated, but now they are suffering from such inhuman torture. How can I not feel heartbroken? How can I not seek justice for them?"

After hearing this, Mr. Hong already understood the whole story.

He knew very well what kind of situation those sent from the prison to the border would face.

After letting out a long sigh, he said earnestly to Ye Zifen: "Fifth girl, don't be anxious. When your uncle and uncle arrive, we need to take a long-term approach and discuss how to properly handle this matter. After all, this is about human life. Don't act impulsively! Although you feel sorry for them, you must also know that you are indeed at fault in this incident. I'm afraid you will not be able to escape the blame. "

Zi Zifen never thought she could escape this disaster, but compared to her own safety, she cared more about those who followed her not to be disappointed.

Even if this trip to Beijing would cost her all her family wealth or even her life, she would have no regrets or complaints.

Ye Zifen said: "I know how serious it is, and even if I am punished, I am willing to bear it alone. Because of this, I don't want to tell you. I really can't bear to involve everyone in this dispute between right and wrong. I have to face it alone." That’s enough.”

When Mr. Hong saw Ye Zifen being so sensible, he couldn't help but sigh: "The imperial officials detained your caravan ship privately without reporting it to their superiors, which is an act of dereliction of duty. As for how to punish them, it is a matter for the imperial court. But you must not go too far. This matter needs careful consideration and long-term consideration.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen shook her head slightly: "We can still wait, but the soldiers at the border and the people of Daxia cannot wait any longer!"

Then her tone became firm: "I am going to Beijing this time not only to give an explanation to our superiors, but also to obtain a special pardon to allow us to go out to sea to purchase food. At the same time, I will also bring back those stationed at the border and let them lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Hong nodded and said approvingly, "Girl, do you know why your grandmother and I love you so much? It's because you have the same sentiments as your grandfather! He is a man of integrity. Of course, your grandmother Lu Yunduo is the same. Although she is a woman, she knows clearly what can and cannot be done. You, on the other hand, have combined the strengths of both of them, so you can achieve what you have today."

As soon as Mr. Hong said this, there was a gentle knock on the study door.

"Grandfather, can Chuanshan and I come in now?"

Ye Zifen recognized it immediately; it was Wang Chuanxing's voice.

She turned to look at Old Master Hong, and after seeing him nod slightly, she quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

With both hands, he gently pushed open the slightly rustic door in front of him, and looked at his two cousins ​​in front of him with bright eyes.

Wang Chuanxing and Wang Chuanshan obviously did not expect that the person who came to open the door for them would be Zifen, and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

Wang Chuanshan smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful! You actually came to Beijing to visit us two brothers. The sun hasn't risen from the west yet, has it?"

As he spoke, he held a folding fan and gently tapped Ye Zifen's head.

Ye Zifen pouted her lips slightly, moved to the side to make way for them, and let the two brothers enter the house.

At the same time, she was not idle and muttered: "Oh my, when did my second cousin become so pedantic? It's really nondescript to hang around with a fan in this cold weather! Hurry up and put that Put the fan away, it makes me upset."

"Hey, you little girl, I just praised you a few times, and now you turn around and treat me like this? Don't you have any conscience at all?"

Wang Chuanshen tapped Ye Zifen's forehead with a mixture of anger and amusement, then he and Wang Chuanxing bowed and greeted Old Master Hong.

Mr. Hong waved his hand and said with a hint of reproach: "Well, Zifen is right. I think your outfit does make people feel a little awkward. Please change it quickly when you go back."

Then Mr. Hong thought to himself: He is such a smart person, but he still wants to put out all these messy things to hide his inner feelings...

When he thought of this, Mr. Hong even shook his head in laughter.

Now Wang Chuanshan no longer refutes anything, but as for whether he will make changes, I am afraid that only he himself knows best!

He walked to Ye Zifen's side and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come to the capital? Why are you here again? Did something happen? Oh, by the way, is there any news about your caravan? Didn't you say you waited for them at the seaside for half a year just to see them return? So they should have waited for them?"

Ye Zifen didn't want to drag them both into such complicated thoughts, but in order not to make them worry too much, she finally nodded slightly.

Although Ye Zifen nodded in approval, Wang Chuanshan still did not breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he knew Ye Zifen quite well, so he naturally understood that this little girl must have something extraordinary to do when she came to the capital this time.
