The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Wei An slid down the steep slope, and clapped his hands after he stood firm. Behind him, the yamen servant brought Shen's father down together, and asked Shen's father to identify him.

"Is it here?" Wei An asked.

"Yes." Father Shen lowered his head.

"Did you throw it down directly or brought the child down and put it on the ground?" Wei An looked up at the steep slope. If he threw it down directly, he would definitely fall to his death.

"I brought the child down. At that time, I panicked. After all, it was my first time to kill someone. I didn't even think about killing people. I just wanted to stun him and steal his things. I didn't expect him to be so weak, so he died all at once. .”

Wei An cast a cold glance at Father Shen, and Father Shen quickly said: "Just... I brought the child down, I saw that child crying all the time, and I took the child away for fear of attracting outsiders, so I thought I found a remote place and threw it away, but... I was timid. I didn't dare to fall to my death first, so I put it directly in the ditch. This ditch has no people all the year round, and it is remote. I thought, I don't have to do it myself. He died himself, and I felt better."

Wei An was noncommittal, "Where did you put it?"

"Just... just put it on that big rock. He kept crying when he put it in the grass, probably because he was tied too hard, so he wouldn't cry when he put it on the rock."

Wei An walked over and looked at the huge boulder. It was an extremely round boulder, polished by rain and wind and frost to be very smooth. Wei An stretched out his hand to touch it, and then turned around and said, "How close is this place? Is there any farmer or Who would come here often?"

"I don't know about this..."

"Go check!"

"Yes!" A yamen servant immediately took the order and left.

"What did you look like when you threw it, kid?"

"It's just born! It's nothing unusual."

"Boy or girl, or twins?"

"Shuang... Shuang'er, right? That's right! It's Shuang'er!" Father Shen thought for a while, nodded quickly, and said affirmatively.

Wei An walked up to a guard in black, whispered a few words, the other side nodded, and turned to leave the ditch.Wei An said, "Do you have anything else to add?"

"No...no more." Father Shen shook his head and begged, "I've told you everything I know, can you make me feel better before I die?"

Wei An said: "As long as you cooperate, I guarantee that no one will hit you again in my hands."

Father Shen hurriedly thanked him, Wei An was slightly relieved, he had sent someone to investigate Han Shi's background, hoping to match what the prisoner said, in this way, the third prince's plan could be carried out, and they would have The biggest trump card in his hand, just hope that this trump card can follow their wishes, Wei An couldn't help frowning for a while when he thought of the thorny Shen Ling that the third prince said. This person loves his husband very much, and he doesn't know if he is willing to put him in danger.

Shen Ling was wandering around the room. Who knew that he would not be able to go anywhere easily if he had an extra father who killed the emperor's sweetheart. How to get his family off the hook was his biggest concern at the moment. After much deliberation, Shen Ling Ling Jing has only one solution left, which is to encourage the third prince to rebel as soon as possible and send the old emperor back to the west.

In that way, his family will be truly safe.

Han Shi is supporting Zhao Fuxue to walk in the yard. Although the child who is a few months old can't walk at all, Han Shi is still happy to support Zhao Fu with both hands and slowly walk his weak little feet on the ground.

Zhao Fu seemed to be getting impatient with being dragged away, and after learning how to take two steps, his foot was already twisted to the side unconsciously, but Han Shi still raised his head in surprise and said to Shen Ling: "Look! Zhao Fu can walk now! "

Shen Ling's train of thought was interrupted, and he hurriedly looked over, "Where is that?"

"Hurry up, give dad another one." Han Shi hurriedly lowered his head to tease him.Shen Ling looked at Zhao Fu's limp little feet, and didn't understand how he was walking just now, how could this stand?Shen Ling was very helpless, probably already understood what Han Shi meant by walking, maybe he just lifted his foot.

The whole family was circling around the child, when Wei An suddenly came to visit, "I don't know if it's the right time for me to come?" Wei An smiled, and there was only a black-clothed guard behind him, with an indifferent face, and half covered his face with a mask, In broad daylight, in fact, quite conspicuous.

Shen Ling turned his gaze to Wei An, stood up and said with a smile, "General Wei is here, full of splendor."

"This one? Is it your husband Han Shi and my adoptive son?" Wei An turned to Han Shi and Zhao Fu.

Shen Ling was a little confused, where did the adopted son come from?Why doesn't he know? "This... I don't know that the adopted son is..."

"Oh, that's right." Wei An smiled, and took out an extremely expensive jade pendant engraved with dragon patterns from his bosom, and stuffed it into Zhaofu's arms, "The third prince has always said that he likes Zhaofu, but because he didn't have the opportunity to recognize his adopted son before, The timing is not right, so I told me to make a detour to Huaizhou to see Zhaofu this time, and to recognize this adopted son. Why? Boss Shen, is he not willing?"

"How could it be?! Good son, good son!" Shen Ling nodded again and again, "It's just that such a precious jade pendant is not suitable? It also has a dragon pattern on it."

Shen Ling took back the jade pendant from Zhao Fu's arms and returned it with both hands.

"As a adopted son, he is also a member of the royal family. What's wrong with a piece of jade pendant? The third prince and I treat Zhaofu like a parent and child, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver. In the future, we will have to engrave an identity token for Zhaofu." Wei An smiled. .

With a pleasant smile on Shen Ling's face, the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger. He didn't have the opportunity to recognize his adopted son before, and the timing was not right. He would not believe a word. If the third prince really wanted to recognize his adopted son, any Just open his mouth, and he promises to send it up if he's a fool, how can there be any timing?

If the third prince hadn't thought about admitting his adopted son before, then what stimulated Wei An now to suddenly have the idea of ​​admitting Zhao Fu as his adopted son?Still in the name of the third prince?Sending out such a big benefit, I always feel that the picture is not small.

However, he was worried about how to keep his family, and most importantly, his child's future. With Wei An's words, he didn't have to worry too much.

Shen Ling nodded again and again, "Thank you for the love of the third prince and the concubine, Shen Ling thank you here for Zhaofu." Shen Ling was about to kneel down as he said that, but Wei An helped him up.

"I'm not married yet, what kind of concubine? Just call me as usual, lest others say I'm frivolous."

"Yes, General Wei, Shen Ling made a slip of the tongue." Shen Ling felt something was wrong in his heart. Wei An opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut as the third prince, calling Xiao San exactly the same as others, and he was not even allowed to be called the prince and concubine. Thinking about Xiao San once Shen Ling sometimes sympathized with Xiao San when he occasionally mentioned his daughter-in-law's idiotic demeanor in front of him. Compared with Xiao San's friendship, Wei An's attitude towards the third prince seemed a little too rational and calm.

"This is Han Shi, right? The third prince once said that he once gave birth with you in the dark room, and he also said that you are a very gentle, virtuous and good-tempered person."

Han Shi was taken aback by Wei An's praise, his face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, "How could it be... How could it be so good, the third prince praised it."

"Are you literate?" Wei An walked over and asked casually.

"Knowledgeable, I have studied with Mr. Mu San for a while." Han Shi said honestly.

"That's great. Boss Shen's business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. If you can read and write, you can also help him."

"I...I can't do it." Han Shi shook his head with a dazed expression.

Wei An took Han Shi's hand, and Shen Ling took Zhao Fu into his arms, and invited the two of them into the room to talk again. General Wei pulled Han Shi into the room, "I want to get close to you when I see you, let's have a good chat later Let's talk."

Han Shi felt that Wei An looked very handsome and imposing, yet so gentle and amiable, and he also liked him very much. Seeing that Wei An liked him too, he couldn't restrain a trace of joy in his expression.

After Wei An finally left, Han Shi already had a lot of affection for Wei An, and even thought of him as a friend, holding Wei An's hand reluctantly, Shen Ling hurried out to ask the villagers about Wei An Where did you go today, and you promised copper coins.

Soon, Shen Ling got many tiny clues from different people, and finally connected Wei An's actions today into a line. Wei An was walking in the countryside, and the people around him were too iconic. Few villagers knew when he arrived there, and even became a topic of conversation after dinner, and the news was very easy to inquire about.

"To Niu Nangou?" Shen Ling frowned, "Then a guard in black went to Han Village?"

"That's right!" Shen Gouzi nodded, and he was the one who ran away to contact the news today. He is already Shen Ling's most capable subordinate in his hometown, and it is difficult for others to take his position.

"Do you know what the guards in black are doing in Hanzhuang?" Shen Ling asked with a serious face.

"I have already inquired, but Hanzhuang is still a little far away from us. Boss, wait a moment. I will inquire more carefully. I also know someone in the yamen. Let's see if he has any news."

"Okay!" Shen Ling patted Shen Gouzi on the shoulder, "Go and come back quickly! It doesn't matter how much money you have, and I'll report it to you when I come back."

"Yes!" Shen Gouzi was shocked, and the opportunity to get kickbacks came again.

It wasn't until the evening that Shen Gouzi broke into Shen Ling's house in a hurry, wiped the sweat off his brow, saw that Shen Ling was eating, and said without hesitation, "I found out about the boss."

"Okay, tell me!" Shen Ling said.

"This..." Shen Gouzi looked at Han Shi and Mu Hongjin who were sitting and eating in the room. Mu Hongjin was handed over to Shen Ling by Mu Wu to take care of him. It's not good to put it in Huaizhou City.

"There are no outsiders, let's talk!"

"This..." Shen Gouzi still refused to say.

Shen Ling had no choice but to stand up, and dragged Shen Gouzi out to find a secluded room, "Speak!"

"Boss, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that this matter seems to have something to do with my aunt." Shen Gouzi frowned, "Do you remember that we checked Aunt's identity together a few days ago? The aunt picked up by Nangou."

"know."

"At that time, we speculated that my aunt might be a foreigner who fled to our place. But, boss, if you think about it, whose parents are so cruel that they don't even deal with the umbilical cord when they lose their children, and they throw them into the ravines. , isn't this not leaving any way for the children to live?"

"What do you want to say?" Shen Ling frowned.

"The acquaintance in my yamen said that he heard General Wei interrogating my grandfather in prison. My grandfather said that when Chu Ci gave birth to a child, he took the child away and threw it into the ravine. General Wei took my grandfather to find a place. , I just went to Niunangou, where my grandfather threw the child. General Wei later sent guards in black to Hanzhuang to inquire. I went to scare Han Facai, and he told me everything, black Yi Shiwei already knows that aunt picked it up from Niu Nangou, although I don't know if the time is right, but I guess it probably is."

Shen Ling didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he finally regained his composure. No wonder Wei An suddenly came to the door today to identify his adopted son, and he was so affectionate and affectionate with Xiao Shitou. He thought Han Shi was Chu Ci's child.

"Boss?" Seeing that Shen Ling didn't answer, Shen Gouzi raised his voice again, "Uncle?!"

"Eh?" Shen Ling snapped back to his senses.

Shen Gouzi said: "Uncle, Auntie is probably the child of Chu Ci who is very powerful in the play! You have made a lot of money, do you know? Famous! My son! Very powerful! I have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue! How can I not meet you?" It's such a good thing..." The more Shen Gouzi said, the more outrageous he became, the envious saliva almost flowed out, and Shen Ling raised his hand and patted his head.

"You have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue to cultivate a father like me!" Shen Ling said angrily in a low voice.

Shen Gouzi thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right, uncle! After such a whole thing, aunt and you have revenge for killing your father!" Shen Gouzi looked up at Shen Ling's expression, Shen Ling heard Shen Gouzi's face suddenly turned ugly.
