Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Eat the bitterness now, and you'll get the sweetness later. This deal is worth it."

Shen Zhen looked at the brightly lit team in front of him and spoke to himself in a low voice.

Just now, Qi Haochen and his men had captured Prince Duan and others who were causing trouble with great force.

Holding the emperor's edict in his hand, Qi Haochen could be said to have no scruples.

After a brief struggle, Prince Duan quickly gave in to save his life.

If he was sent back to the capital by Qi Haochen, at most he would be locked up and become a rich prince. If he dared to lead troops to resist, what awaited him was a glass of poisoned wine and a walk away.

"Why did you come out? We can deal with it soon, and then we have to rush to the next fiefdom."

Shen Shi patrolled everywhere wearing armor, fearing that any danger might occur accidentally.

"Third brother, it's a bit boring to stay in the carriage all the time. Besides, the whole palace has already admitted defeat. Who would be so blind as to jump out and complain about their long life?"

Shen Zhen moved his body carefully, his eyes constantly glancing at the surrounding buildings.

Although people cannot see clearly in the dark, the lit torches are not just for show.

"What should we do with those people? The royal family members must be escorted back to the capital."

But the rest of the people did not have such treatment, and even their life and death depended entirely on Qi Haochen's decision.

"Keep him where he is, and use the prince's men first; at the same time, send a letter to the capital and appoint an official to receive him."

Qi Haochen didn't bring many people with him when he left the capital, and this matter was carried out in secret. Even the imperial edict given by the emperor was not a clear order.

In other words, if Qi Haochen was unfortunately killed during the operation, the emperor would not say much.

"Will this work? The fiefdom belongs to Prince Duan. Once Prince Duan leaves, the fiefdom will be in chaos."

After all, the fiefdom belonged to Prince Duan, who had the final say, and as a result, something happened to the owner.

"Don't worry, there are the most civilians in the entire fiefdom. As long as the people are safe, there will be no chaos."

The people who could enter the fiefdom included the indigenous people who had lived here at the beginning and the refugees who had fled here in recent years.

Qi Chen and Shen Yao had been planning for a long time and had gained considerable prestige among the refugees.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the refugees as a whole gave them face, but in most cases in these northern prefectures, they could still be put to good use.

This was the solution that Shen Cheng and Qi Haochen had discussed long before entering the city.

We cannot let Prince Duan and his entourage stay in the fiefdom. There might be someone with ulterior motives who wants to take the fiefdom with him.

When power coerces millions of ordinary people, it is bound to be a tragedy.

Shen Zhen blinked when he heard that, and teased with a smile that his brother knew so much.

Shen Shi: ...

"Be careful on your own. I'm going to go on patrol."

After Shen Shi finished speaking, he led the soldiers behind him away. Shen Zhen looked at the back of the other party, and then looked up at the sky with the moon hanging, "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."

The holy moonlight filled the entire space, which was incompatible with the tense and depressing atmosphere. They would experience such nights many times in the future.

……

"His Royal Highness" "Your Highness"

After a busy night, Qi Haochen came out of the study, rubbing his slightly red eyes with his hands as he walked out.

Qi Haochen nodded twice, and then he saw the brothers Shen Cheng and Shen Shi wearing armor, and they were sitting upright in the courtyard.

"Big brother, third brother, why didn't you go into the house to rest?"

Qi Haochen frowned and looked at the expressions on the two men's faces. It was obvious that they had not slept all night.

Shen Cheng and Shen Shi opened their eyes, and their originally sharp gazes softened a lot.

"Special times call for special arrangements. After we send the people away today, the two of us will take a short rest in the car."

Shen Cheng and Shen Shi are not only Qi Haochen's brothers, but also his subordinates with a mission.

It is no exaggeration to say that their lives and fortunes all depend on Qi Haochen. If Qi Haochen gets into trouble, their future will be ruined.

This is the consequence of being too deeply bound, but once Qi Haochen achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven, they will be the ones who will enjoy the fruits of their labor the most.

There are gains and losses, just like the people in the fiefdom who follow Qi Chen, they are looking for these rewards.

"Big brother, third brother, thank you for your hard work," Qi Haochen reached out and patted the two on the shoulders, his tone not too polite. Between brothers, friendship proves everything.

When the sun rose completely, Prince Duan and his men, who had been locked up in a side hall for the night, boarded a carriage bound for the capital.

Damingfu, which should have been bustling, became even noisier, with people pointing and talking about the carriages.

The servants who had received orders in advance kept spreading the word about the grave sins of Prince Duan and his gang, and with the intimidation of many ferocious soldiers, the entire escort process went unexpectedly smoothly.

After they parted ways with Prince Duan and his entourage, both sides left in different directions. Shen Cheng and Shen Shi, who looked tired, simply got in the car to rest at different times.

Shen Zhen felt sorry for her two brothers, so she sent the tonic soup she had prepared long ago to them, and even Qi Haochen was not spared.

"Don't refuse. There are still several fiefs to be granted. Your health is more important."

As a doctor, Shen Zhen is most concerned about the physical condition. People are prone to illness due to the long journey, and there are not enough medicines in stock at this time. Shen Zhen does not want to experience a terrifying life-and-death race.

So no matter you are sick or not, it will be helpful to plan your next trip by keeping your body healthy first.

Qi Haochen and others: ...

The reasons given were a little too strong for them to refuse.

The tonic didn't taste very good, but Shen Zhen wasn't the kind of person who would look for trouble.

Shen Zhen successfully stopped before reaching the next provincial capital. She clapped her hands and planned to do some shopping in the city this time. With the tonic she had carefully prepared, she would be sure to stay full of energy no matter how hard she worked.

"So you still have to be careful about everything and don't act rashly. Remember everything mother tells you to do, otherwise I will write a letter to complain."

Shen Zhen stood in a magnificent palace with her hands on her hips, scolding Qi Haochen who was holding his head in his hands.

It was also due to luck. He thought everything was going well, but unexpectedly, an assassin jumped out and seized the opportunity. If Qi Haochen did not have the magical space given by Shen Yao, he would have been seriously injured this time.

Based on this, the lives of the assassins must not be spared, and the entire Xuande Prefecture must be searched thoroughly to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"Fifth sister, I've got this in mind. I won't let those guards get more than three meters away from me this time."

Qi Haochen has learned his lesson. The thrill of the moment of life and death is scary enough.

The reason he was able to escape this time was because of a lucky encounter and the information gap between him and the other party. If he encounters someone with great martial arts skills later, his little tricks will not be worth mentioning.

I felt a little depressed, but more of a relief, after all, he was still alive and his arms and legs were still there.

"It's no use just writing it down, you have to avoid it completely in action"

"Fifth sister, Your Highness"

Shen Cheng came in from outside, interrupted Shen Zhen and called out Qi Haochen.

This can be considered as a tacit understanding between them. When there are outsiders or important matters, they will call Qi Haochen "Your Highness".

Qi Haochen hid behind Shen Zhen and poked his head out, like a sneaky little animal.

"Big Brother"

Shen Cheng waved his hands helplessly, "Why are you hiding? Come here quickly."

Qi Haochen let out an "oh" and ran directly to stand beside Shen Cheng.

call

"Go to the study"

After Shen Cheng finished speaking, he asked Shen Zhen to go check on Shen Shi. This guy was the craziest when it came to fighting. If Shen Zhen hadn't been able to feel the pulse and diagnose at any time, he would have suspected whether Shen Shi had some unknown hobby.

Muttering "I know", Shen Zhen looked at the backs of the two people leaving and felt that she was being disliked. Humph, what could she not listen to?

"How could Uncle Wang and his men be so absurd?" They amassed wealth and did whatever they wanted in their fiefdom, without any attempt to govern the people's livelihood.

With his brows furrowed, Qi Haochen felt that the memorial he wrote was still too conservative and he should give them a serious lecture.

"People have been rescued, and some who can be resettled have been properly resettled, but many more cannot continue to live there and have no choice but to migrate away."

Shen Cheng also felt that this prince named King Xuan was not worthy of his position. He dared to play such a big game in his fiefdom, so he was not afraid of losing the entire fiefdom.

"Send it to Changzhou Prefecture and give it to my mother and the others. I will also write a letter."

After Qi Haochen said what he could do, he saw that his eldest brother's expression had not changed much, so he asked repeatedly if there was anything else.

Shen Cheng shook his head when he heard this, and hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything.

"It has nothing to do with our current operation. It's just that some of the people originally kept by King Xuan, I don't know how to deal with them."

It's easy to say, there are just some things that are neither too high nor too low, neither crossing the line nor completely innocent.

Beating him to death is a bit cruel, while releasing him without guilt is a bit lenient.

What's more, one of them is an old friend of Shen Cheng.

Scratching his head, Shen Cheng decided not to bother Qi Haochen with this matter. It had nothing to do with Qi Haochen in the first place. Bringing it up would just add another person to worry about. Why bother?

"If you're really unsure, send it to the capital or give it to the officials who come to receive it."

There are many minerals in the north, and mining is a very strenuous and physically demanding job.

When he was in Changzhou Prefecture, Qi Chen would send some criminals who had committed more difficult crimes to serve in the mines.

Qi Haochen has been influenced by these things since he was young, and he can handle these things with ease.

Thinking that his elder brother was just being polite to him, Qi Haochen smiled and spread his hands, demonstrating with his actions that everything was fine.

Shen Cheng: ...

Shen Cheng rubbed his head and said, "Go back and have a rest. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

The fiefdom has not been dealt with yet, so I have to go through it again.

Not all of them will be taken away and sent to the capital. Some of those who behave properly will be given just a few words at most.

The emperor is not a murderer, and the purpose of capturing him and bringing him to justice is also to pave the way for the new emperor in the future.

At least in Shen Cheng's opinion, Qi Haochen's chance of winning is already the greatest among all the princes of the royal palace. If this situation remains, everything will come naturally.

"Don't worry, big brother. I'll go back and rest now," Qi Haochen obeyed and left without even looking back.

Shen Cheng stood in the study for a while, then turned around to look for Shen Shi and Shen Zhen.

There was only Shen Shi in the martial arts training ground. Shen Zhen had been sent away by Shen Cheng before and was not idle. So many medicinal herbs had to go through her hands before they could be used as medicine.

If I don't do something busy during my free time, do I have to sit in the carriage and work hard?

"So you didn't tell your fifth sister about that?" Shen Cheng felt his head hurt even more.

Shen Shi touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, "Brother, it's best not to talk about this. I've never seen that man, so why bother to confuse people by telling them."

The two brothers were in a state of confusion, but from their conversation they could deduce that the person who was related to them and gave them a headache was none other than their biological father Wei Fan.

"I didn't expect this person to be a disciple of King Xuan," which caught Shen Cheng off guard.

Wei Fan has not changed much over the years. On the contrary, Shen Cheng's children have grown up slowly, and their appearances are different from when they were young.

It was also a coincidence that when Shen Cheng was questioning a group of people under King Xuan, Wei Fan happened to be the manager of one of them. The two met face to face. Wei Fan did not know Shen Cheng's identity, but Shen Cheng recognized Wei Fan by his appearance.

Shen Bencheng planned to explain this matter to Shen Shi and Shen Zhen.

After all, he is their biological father, although for Shen Shi and Shen Zhen, their impression of Wei Fan is almost non-existent.

"Brother, no matter where he appears, it has nothing to do with us."

Their surname is Shen, Wei Fan's surname is Wei, and as for their blood relationship, it is nonsense.

After living in Changzhou Prefecture and the capital for many years, Shen Shi has become a thoughtful person from being brainless at the beginning. He thinks that the two sides should maintain a situation where they do not recognize each other, which will benefit everyone.

"The fear is that he will remember and come to us."

Shen Cheng also didn't want to recognize Wei Fan. Whether from a rational or interest perspective, there was no benefit in their entanglement with each other.

"We will leave Xuande Prefecture tomorrow, and he is a military household in Xuande Prefecture. Without special permission, he cannot leave the place of his household registration.

Brother, don't think too much about it, just pretend it never happened."

Shen Shi said it bluntly, the father-son relationship between them and Wei Fan had completely disappeared in Qinghe Town.

When this name was mentioned again, Shen Shi felt no wavering at all.

“My mother is living a happy life, and we don’t need his help in any way.

Big brother, you should let go of your obsession. It was always him who abandoned us, not us who took the initiative to forget him. "

Unlike Shen Cheng and Shen Ying who still have a bit of affection for Wei Fan, the remaining Shen Shi and the other two have no such concept at all.

The cold words hit Shen Cheng's heart and made him completely sober. He was not Wei Cheng. Everything that made him feel entangled might not be as important as a meal in the eyes of other brothers and sisters.

The corners of his mouth suddenly smiled, and I didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or mocking others.

Shen Cheng stood up and said, "I'm going to inspect. You are right about this matter. Let's stop here."

To say anything more would be impolite. They had no relationship with Wei Fan or even the Wei family a long time ago. It was just a surprise to see Wei Fan in Xuan De Mansion.

Once they leave Xuande Prefecture, they will never meet again in their entire lives.

A stranger who only appeared briefly in their lives was not worth any further consideration.

Another night passed, and the process was still the same as in Daming Prefecture.

Shen Cheng rode a tall horse, moving forward along the paved bluestone slabs, with the voices of people talking around him.

His mood had long since calmed down, so he didn't notice that Wei Fan, who had once troubled him, was hiding among them.

The complex emotions in his eyes calmed down again as the carriage left. Wei Fan lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and then left as if nothing had happened.
