Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The old man couldn't help crying when he recalled the sad things in the past.

But he knew very well how he was doing. He didn't want to drag down his son and daughter-in-law. "Aren't you still here? I'll leave this matter to you."

The young man burst into tears when he heard this: "My son is useless. He has always been as stupid as a pig. Without you to guide me, my son will not survive for a few days even if he follows the villagers to Liangcheng. So don't say any more depressing words." , live well."

The old man's lips moved, obviously he wanted to say something more, but listening to his son's sobbing voice, he could no longer say anything sad.

At this moment, a voice as clear and smooth as the wind sounded behind them: "Old man, I have a donkey here. Why don't you use it as a substitute for transportation."

The old man and his family quickly turned around to look at the speaker, only to see an extraordinary and handsome man leading a donkey over.

Behind him was a woman with beautiful features. The woman had bright eyes and a concise spirit. She looked very gentle and graceful. Walking with him, there was a sense of warmth and perfection that complemented each other.

"You are..." the old man said in confusion.

"My dear, Chen Changli, is an insignificant villager in this village. My wife and I were supposed to take the family and push the cart away, but then we thought that a donkey was forgotten at home, so we went back to pick up the donkey. Unexpectedly, I’ll run into your family on the way to catch up with my family.”

Chen Changli's smiling face showed no hint of his thoughts, but his concerned voice brought warmth to this miserable night.

After hearing what he said, the old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at him calmly and calmly for a while with the help of the moonlight, and then said with a smile: "So you are Chen Changli. It's really better to meet him than to be famous."

"Old sir, have you heard of me?" Chen Changli's eyes like a deep pool were locked on the old man, as if he was waiting for a reply.

The old man handed him over and said: "The little old man's surname is Shen. He lives in Yangzhou City and was once a teacher. A few days ago, when the little old man and his family stopped in Sifang Village, they heard the villagers talking about you. I was still talking about you at that time. I was wondering how you could come back to the village after being a soldier for ten years and give the villagers an idea to make money by hunting.”

After a slight pause in his tone, he took a breath and said with a smile: "Now that I see you in person, I suddenly understand why you came up with this idea."

Chen Changli looked uncertain, but in the end he sighed slightly and said with shame: "Things have changed so quickly that I was completely caught off guard. In addition, the situation in the town is not good, so I can only take the risk with the villagers." I’m hunting, and I don’t want the old gentleman to see a joke.”

Old Master Shen heard something in his words and laughed dumbly: "You are doing your best to help the villagers. This is a great good deed. How could it be a joke? On the contrary, I have been enjoying my life for so long that I have forgotten what the villagers really want. What do you want?"

His eyes were moist when he said this, and his voice became more choked up: "No wonder those officials scolded me for being pedantic. Now that I think about my past, I realize that I am really pedantic and deserve to be scolded."

"Old sir, why should you belittle yourself?" Chen Changli thought thoughtfully, and then said slowly, "An official should be considerate of the people and run around for the people's affairs. If he scolds the people for his own selfishness, then this official is not What a good official."

"What you said makes sense." Old Master Shen just expressed his feelings. He never thought that Chen Changli would say such a sentence.

His eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he looked at Chen Changli with a slightly strange look.

It's just that what he knows is too important and he doesn't dare to reveal anything.

As his thoughts changed, he seemed to change the topic unintentionally, but he was very curious about Chen Changli.

"Those high-ranking officials are really far away from us. We can just discuss it in private here, but we must not make it public, lest we get into trouble."

"What the old gentleman said is absolutely true." As he spoke, Chen Changli led the donkey forward, gently helped Old Master Shen sit on the donkey, and then called for Wan Shufang and Old Master Shen's son and daughter-in-law to follow.

When Wan Shufang heard the questions and answers between Chen Changli and Old Master Shen, she couldn't help but feel that the two of them were like the Riddler, talking about things they knew well.

She didn't understand anything, so she could only pretend to be mute and stand aside, silently listening to their conversation.

Now that they have finished talking, Wan Shufang has great doubts in her heart.

But because Old Master Shen and his family were still there, she could only keep her doubts in her heart and let the cat-like curiosity boil in her heart.

It wasn't until dawn that she saw the villagers gathering together to rest at the foot of a mountain. Wan Shufang said, "Old sir, we have caught up with the villagers. We have been walking all night. I think everyone is tired. I happen to have someone at home." On the cart, you and your family can go directly to my house, and you can stay in the cart and rest."

When she said this, she didn't give Old Master Shen a chance to refuse. She directly gave Chen Changli a wink and asked him to take the person over.

Chen Changli guessed her thoughts and took her over simply.

Old Master Shen wanted to refuse, but found that the couple made the decision in a tacit understanding. He thought of his own frail body, so in the end he could only accept the couple's kindness with gratitude.

After he was helped onto the trolley to rest, Wan Shufang pulled Chen Changli aside and asked in a low voice: "That old gentleman is not an ordinary teacher, right?"

"I think so too." Chen Changli expressed his thoughts without hesitation, "And judging from his tone, I think he must have encountered something big in Yangzhou City, so he had to flee Yangzhou City with his family. "

I thought that Wan Cong and the people who came to provide disaster relief were related to the third prince, and that the people in Yangzhou City's previous escape from famine was related to the third prince's accumulation of wealth.

He had to suspect that most of the officials in Yangzhou's officialdom were from the Third Prince, which led to families like Old Master Shen being persecuted unimaginably.

He wants to find out everything and make the third prince pay the due price, so what Old Master Shen knows is likely to be the clue he needs.

However, after some conversation, he found that Old Master Shen was very defensive, so he planned to get along well with him on the way to Liangcheng, and then find a way to identify himself and get him to tell what he knew.

"Are you trying to figure something out?" Wan Shufang suddenly looked at Chen Changli in confusion and said doubtfully, "This matter is very likely to make you irrecoverable, do you still want to figure it out?"

Chen Changli looked at Wan Shufang with burning eyes, but the expression on his face was unpredictable, "Daughter-in-law, what are you guessing in your mind? You might as well tell me directly!"
