His original worry was that Qin Shu still had some thoughts and used the money for something he shouldn't have.The people who were sent to investigate privately were all reliable subordinates, and they also specifically told them to act cautiously and not to make a fuss.

The whereabouts of the money was not very secretive, and the result was beyond his expectations.Qin Shu used the money to quietly take care of nearly a hundred people near Tongcheng—all of them were old people from the former palace.After the whole country surrendered, the younger court ladies and eunuchs were accepted by the Northern Jin government, and at least the old and sick were released from the palace.

Those eunuchs and court ladies, if they were not poor and helpless, how could they be slaves.Now being kicked out of the palace, except for a few who have distant relatives who can go to them, the rest of them are helpless, although they all got some severance silver, but these people are old and sick, so what can the little money do? If it wasn't for Qin Shu's secret relief, how many people would become beggars and starve to death on the streets today.

However, when the city was destroyed that day, Qin Shu had already made him notorious for his malice and corruption. Even if he did these things, he could only do it quietly, so as not to let those who were besieged by him know.With his own strength, he has almost done his best to take care of the food and clothing of these many people, and his own life is inevitably stretched.

Yi Zhen was afraid of accidentally revealing his flaws, so the people he brought this time were all new faces, and the person who went to investigate didn't know Qin Shu's past very well.It's just that it's far-fetched for Ren to say that such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled is expected to rebel against them.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but hesitate when looking at Yi Zhen, and asked tentatively, "Master Hou, how should we deal with these people?"

"No, don't touch them!" Yi Zhen frowned and was in a daze. He seemed to be taken aback by his question. Seeing his subordinate's suspicious eyes, he regained his composure, sighed and shook his head slightly. : "Don't make him sad anymore."

The subordinate naturally had nothing to say.

Yi Zhen knew that the current situation was somewhat due to his own reasons, and he couldn't help feeling guilty when he was distressed. For many years, he missed Qin Shu day and night, even though Qin Shu was not by his side, he thought about that person more and more clearly. In the past, he couldn't figure out what he couldn't understand no matter what, but now he can clearly guess Qin Shu's intentions.

Qin Shu values ​​love and sex, but taking care of these people may not be all due to nostalgia, or it may also be a kind of compensatory psychology-he is not the kind of person who would think that he is completely irresponsible for such a big change , even if he is really the innocent and pitiful character in it.

Perhaps it was because of these people who needed care as sustenance that he would not collapse.However, the lives of so many people are burdened on one person, but we don't know how much burden and responsibility it is, not only mentally, but also physically.I don't know how much he suffered.Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, just thinking about it made him panic for Qin Shu.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhen's expression became a little dazed, and he said slowly: "Who is the comforter in Tongcheng now, go tell him, let the government come forward, and support these people to some extent."

The subordinate was slightly taken aback by that sentence, but Yi Zhen suddenly became furious: "Don't tell me that I don't care about all the comforts in Tongcheng, and don't say that the imperial court has no money to support idlers. What other people can do alone is a majestic county." Can't the government do it?"

Although the subordinates knew that he had no place to vent his anger, and had vented his anger on other people, they could only bow their heads and agree, after thinking about it, once Yi Zhen made a statement, it was okay to ask the government to take care of him, so he retreated to try to figure out what to say.

Yi Zhen was stunned for a while, covered his face and let out a long sigh, and murmured softly: "Xiaoshu..."

But no one answered him.

Xu Ji came back after a few days, still carrying big and small bags.He also smiled and took out a small purse, which was full of large and small silver, presumably it was pocket money given to him by his family.Xu Ji solemnly wanted to pay for his meal.Qin Shu naturally wouldn't care about this with a child like him, so he refused to accept it, so he secretly stuffed it under the quilt while no one was paying attention.

After finishing this task, Xu Ji felt that he had done a lot of credit, so he calmly waited for the meal.

The timing of the past few days was not coincidental, and Xu Ji was sent back every time before Meng Zhang came back.It's all done today.

Meng Zhang knew that the kid was always running here, so he was not surprised to see Xu Ji here, and smiled at him.But Xu Ji didn't seem very happy. With drooping eyelids, he reluctantly called Uncle Meng, turned around and avoided Meng Zhang's hand that wanted to touch his head, and dragged Liang Xiao into the yard, secretly facing Meng Zhang. Rolling his eyes from behind.

Meng Zhang saw it inadvertently, but he didn't care.

When the food was served, Xu Ji became more and more annoyed. If he sat next to Qin Shu, that annoying Uncle Meng would sit opposite Qin Shu.If he sat across from him, that person would sit next to Qin Shu, which was even more unacceptable.

Seeing that Xu Ji had circled the table for more than one circle, he couldn't help wondering: "What is he sitting on?"

Qin Shu also couldn't see why, he only thought that Xu Ji was messing around, and said indifferently: "Leave him alone."

Having said that, he finally pulled the two children to the left and right sides of him and sat down.Xu Ji pulled the stool close to Qin Shu, and then gave Meng Zhang a few hard glances. His eyes were always watching Meng Zhang's every move, as if he was guarding against a thief.

The food in front of me is simple and light, but it has a warm taste, even the usual delicacies of mountains and seas are not there.Xu Ji could vaguely distinguish the difference between the two, and because of this, he became more and more displeased with Meng Zhang.In his small mind, he felt that the place where Meng Zhang was sitting should be the seat of his father.

Meng Zhang was baffled by Xu Ji, and he held some food for him several times, but was blocked back.

The little guy also simply refused to eat in anger, lowered his head and finished a bowl of rice sullenly, and then "hummed" at Meng Zhang when he put down the bowl.Putting down the bowl and sitting aside waiting for Qin Shu, he was thinking about his shoulders that day, thinking about how to say something, and then coaxing Qin Shu to send him home.

Before the meal was finished, someone slammed the front door, accompanied by a woman's voice: "Brother Liang, is anyone home?"

The person who came was the owner of the yard leased by Qin Shu, a woman surnamed Sun.The rent is paid on a yearly basis, and it has only been a few months since this house was her family's old house, and now the original owner and his family live in the county town, so it must be something wrong if you stop by to see it.

The Sun family's sister-in-law was a cheerful person, she was let into the courtyard, saw the food on the table, and said with a smile: "Are you eating?"

Several people stood up and gave up their seats to her, only Xu Ji didn't know this person, of course he didn't need to put others in his eyes, seeing a few people talking politely, he felt annoyed and ran to the next tree to tease Xiao Huagou , this person saw that Xu Ji had a natural face and a very good appearance.Instead, he asked curiously whose child this was, and Xu Ji rolled his eyes at him.

She didn't come here because of Xu Ji's intention, and she didn't care about it. She sat down politely in the place where Xu Ji had been sitting. After the meal, she asked for a glass of water, took a couple of sips, and looked into the yard. After chatting a few words about homework, he got to the point, pulled the small hole in Liang Xiao's cuff and looked left and right: "You said that there is no woman in this family, not even a person who can mend... "She looked at Qin Shu again in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile. "I see that Mr. Qin is handsome, and he is still at the right age. Why don't you want to find someone to start a family, and you will have someone to take care of you. Just like this, you two big men, how can you take care of your family? Look at the good-looking children. , just follow you like this, how pitiful it is."

The smile on Qin Shu's face gradually faded, and he gently put the remaining half of the bowl on the table.

Mrs. Sun looked at Qin Shu's appearance, and then said: "The old lady came here today because she was entrusted by others, and now she has a very good marriage, and Mr. Fang also knows him. Although she is not from a rich family, the girl is capable. Notoriously..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Meng Zhang's chopsticks fell to the ground with a bang. He reacted immediately, bent down to pick it up, forced a smile, but his face changed a little, as if he wanted to explain something, He opened his mouth and trembled, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Auntie Sun froze for a moment, and was about to continue talking, when there was a clang in the yard, but it was Xu Ji who kicked down a pot of orchids in the corner.

The little guy listened for a long time without saying a word, and finally figured out what the old witch was here for, and now he was furious, he didn't care if the flower pot fell, and he was opening a pair of Li Hei's eyes. He stared hard at Mrs. Sun with big eyes.

He didn't speak, such a small child was full of power, and his expression was indescribably ferocious. When Mrs. Sun was stared at by him, it felt like being nailed by a little snake that spewed out letters. , I felt a chill down my spine.
