My son sleeps lightly

Shen Yu sat at the table and was reviewing the book. When he saw Ye Lan and the others running in, he wrinkled his nose, "What's the wind blowing today? Second Young Master Ye came to me to study by himself?"

"Study?" Ye Lan blinked, then smiled shyly, "It's not for studying."

"I knew it." Shen Chu sighed slightly, "Why?"

"Teacher, has brother written to you recently?"

"Letters?" Shen Chu thought for a moment, opened a box on the desk, and flipped inside. It turned out that they were all letters written to him by Ye Cang. I took it apart again and carefully put it back in again, "The earliest one was half a month ago."

"Half a month ago," Ye Lan thought for a moment, "What did he say in the letter?"

"At that time, the war was stalemate and it was difficult to attack the city, so he only mentioned a few words."

"This..." Ye Lan felt even more strange.

Half a month ago, they were still unable to attack the city, and they will return to the division in a few days. Is this a normal decision?

Seeing Ye Lan's frown tightly, Shen Chu asked, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, my mother just told me that my brother will be back soon."

"What?" Shen Yu looked a little nervous and a little surprised.

"Just four days later, my mother booked the Leshan Tavern on Long Street. We will watch my brother lead the army through the street there. It must be very majestic."

"Yes." Shen Chu pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Ye Lan remembered Shen Chu's inexplicable emotions towards Ye Cang, so she didn't stay for long, and went out with Xiao Chong.

"Should we ask Liang Qiu, he must know the cause and effect."

"Still going to Nuanxiang Pavilion?" Xiao Chong was in the shadow of this place.

"Today is to talk about business, of course we can't go there." Ye Lan said.

……

"This is military affairs, how did I know it?" Liang Qiu leaned on the railing on the second floor of the teahouse, and Liang Si beside him was pouring tea for Liang Qiu and Ye Lan.

"But I always feel that there is something tricky in it."

"To be honest, there are some discordant movements in this city." Liang Qiu picked up the teacup, and he glanced at Xiao Chong, "Actually, you know better."

Xiao Chong remained silent.

It was Ye Lan who was startled first, "Why did Xiao Chong know?"

"Ask yourself." Liang Qiu pointed at Xiao Chong with a teacup.

Seeing Ye Lan staring straight at him with eyes like glass beads, Xiao Chong had no choice but to say, "I heard that the slaves in the city will riot."

"slave?"

"That's right, and it should be organized and planned," Xiao Chong rubbed his nose with his hand twice when he said that, "I also found out when I was listening to other servants chatting."

"While chatting..." Ye Lan was puzzled, "But why didn't I hear any wind?"

"Of course we can't let us know about them," Liang Qiu yawned, and glanced at Liang Si, "We are nobles who squeeze the blood and tears of slaves."

Liang Si still had that calm expression, knowing that there was something in Liang Qiu's words, but he didn't respond.

"It's boring." Liang Qiu also stopped pointing, and raised his eyebrows at Ye Lan, "I think your brother's return early has something to do with this matter."

"You think the city lord will want it," Ye Lan thought for a long time, but she still said, "Suppress them?"

"Inevitably," Liang Qiu said, "If you are fighting against the outside world, you must settle down inside, don't let Lin'an City be defeated, and your territory will be messed up first."

Ye Lan was speechless, he did understand the position of the slaves.

The abolition of slavery in Luobei City has been promulgated for a long time, but everyone treats it as a dead letter, not to mention the abolition of slavery, the slave trade is getting more and more prosperous.

Because of the official prohibition, the exploitation in private is even more serious.

"Ye Lan," Liang Qiu called out, "what are you thinking about?"

"Think about how to ease the situation."

"Haha," Liang Qiu laughed loudly, "Do you still have such great ambitions?"

He suddenly turned serious, "This situation has been brewing for a long time, and none of us nobles can get rid of it. If the fire of riots ignites, then we will be the chief culprits who put firewood in it."

"And we can't change anything. We are standing on the opposite side of slaves. Even if we have not personally abused anyone, as long as we enjoy the convenience brought by our identity, we are the perpetrators."

"I knew there would be such a day, and I was looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart, let the fire of this riot burn up and burn this decayed Luobei City," Liang Qiu's eyes sparkled, "even the entire northern border .”

Ye Lan was dumbfounded when she heard Liang Qiu's words.

The Liang family is a large slave-holding family. Liang Qiu's father's business basically relies on a large number of slaves. Why did Liang Qiu think so first? Ye Lan was a little worried, "You don't have anything to do with them, do you?"

"How is it possible?" Liang Qiu relaxed his shoulders and continued to lean on the original position, "I have no complaints about the good life now."

"then you……"

"Just say nice things."

Ye Lan felt relieved, but Xiao Chong didn't feel it.

He always felt that Liang Qiu's thoughts were not following his heart, and it was very possible that Liang Qiu was a little different after the incident five years ago.

Liang Qiu chatted with Ye Lan about other things, and if it was successful, Ye Lan's attention was drawn to other places, and the two of them parted ways in the evening.

Because they didn't come by carriage, Ye Lan and the others naturally had to walk back.

There were no people in the market anymore, because of the curfew, just as the sun was about to set, everyone was already preparing to go home.

There are only two masters and servants on the empty street.

"Would you like to fight me too?"

After a while, Xiao Chong realized that Ye Lan was asking himself.

"Ok?"

"Actually, you have already saved enough money to redeem yourself." Ye Lan said in a muffled voice.

he knows?

"For so many years, except for the clothes in the house, I have never seen you have new clothes. You have been saving money to prepare..." Leave me.

Xiao Chong didn't speak, he no longer needed to look up to see Ye Lan's expression clearly, he only needed to tilt his head slightly.

As if there was a feeling, the moment Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan, Ye Lan also turned his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other, Ye Lan grinned, "I'm just joking, how can you be willing to let the second young master?" ?!"

Xiao Chong didn't speak any more, just pushed Ye Lan, urging him to hurry up.

Ye Lan ran two steps forward to cover up his guilty conscience just now, he was very afraid at that moment, Xiao Chong's answer.
