Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Blood debt must be paid with blood?" After hearing Shen Zhonghe's words, Shen Cha was stunned for a moment and looked at him to confirm, "Are you sure you heard it correctly? Is that what she said?"

"No." Shen Zhonghe shook his head gently, "I had the same reaction as the general at the time, but because she was drunk and drunk, she couldn't control her mouth at all, so she said it more than once. In order to hear it more clearly, I Some, just stayed for a while longer, which is indeed a blood debt repaid with blood."

"To be able to use this word, I think there is nothing more than ruining families." Xue Ruitian frowned slightly, "Did your ancestors do this? You didn't know? Didn't your family mention it?"

"I have no idea what's going on." Shen Zhonghe sighed, thanked Mei Lin who brought him tea, took two sips and continued, "Aunt Liang has been in my home since I was born. It can even be said that she grew up with my father and my brother-in-law, and was raised as a daughter by my grandfather." He thought for a moment, "According to my father, Aunt Liang's temperament began to change drastically. When I was four or five years old, that was the only time that Aunt Liang left home and went to sea with my grandfather, father, and uncle. However, that time, my uncle failed to come back and was buried at the bottom of the sea."

"Did you encounter any accident?"

"I heard that there was a fight on our boat, and my uncle went to break up the fight, but..." Shen Zhonghe sighed softly and said, "I don't know if it's true, but after they came back, Aunt Liang became He was very withdrawn. He would rather stay in the room alone than get along with everyone." He sighed again, "I don't know if it was my grandfather who persuaded me later, but he seemed to be the same as before. Who was he meeting? No one has a smiling face, and everyone she sees seems to owe her hundreds of taels of silver. It seems that they all disappeared overnight, and everyone is smiling again."

"You don't know what happened, do you?"

Shen Zhonghe shook his head again. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a gurgling sound coming from his stomach. He touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "This..."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. This was our negligence. Lord Shen was running all the way, so he probably didn't have time to have breakfast. It's our fault that we kept Lord Shen in prison for so long." Shen Haolin looked at Ying Wu and Mei Lin Yi. Waving his hands, watching the two people leave in a hurry, he said to Shen Zhonghe, who was saluting him with fists, "It's just a simple meal, Mr. Shen, let's make do with it, and I'll take care of Mr. Shen tonight." Seeing what Shen Zhonghe was going to say, he gently Waving his hand, "There is an old friend who wants to meet Mr. Shen. I don't know if Mr. Shen still remembers him."

"Old friend?" Shen Zhonghe was stunned, "Who is the old friend that the Duke of Guo mentioned...?"

"Master Shen will know when we meet."

"Yes, I know." Shen Zhonghe thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Shen Haolin, "My lord, I have a merciless request."

"Master Shen, I know what you want to say, but it's not appropriate now." Shen Cha smiled at Shen Haolin and blocked Shen Zhonghe's mouth first, "Er Niang and Xiao Bao are under our care. It's very safe now, Master Shen, it's neither suitable to visit her nor to let her come to the camp at this time."

"General, why is this?"

"That woman named Liang has been with you for many years, and you didn't realize that she cultivated her power behind your back?" Seeing Shen Zhonghe suddenly realized, Shen Cha chuckled, "It seems that you know, this time She didn't come to the border alone, she came with her loyal men. Although she has been arrested now, her men are still hiding in the city." "What the general means, I'm sorry. Understood!"

Shen Zhonghe is a smart man. When Shen Cha said this, he immediately understood what it meant. Aunt Liang's people were still watching in secret. They were all very loyal people and only regarded Aunt Liang as their master. If Liang Auntie had told them before that no matter what happened, they would kill Tuesday Niang and Xiaobao. So if they met in broad daylight, it would be equivalent to giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of them.

"By the way, Mr. Liang, I have another question for you." Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "Since you know that the woman named Liang is cultivating her own people behind your back, you actually don't care?"

"She is an elder, and she holds the power to head the family. She said it was to protect the peace of the family. The reason is so high-sounding that I can't say much. Besides, in the past few years, there have been many big and small accidents in the house. Unexpectedly, thanks to the protection of those people, the family is safe. In this way, I can't speak anymore, right? "

"That's true." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Then you don't know, this woman named Liang..."

"Liang Jieque." Seeing Xue Ruitian's puzzled expression, Shen Zhonghe explained, "I heard that Aunt Liang's name was given by her biological parents."

"A noble-minded house bird?" Jin Miaomiao looked disgusted, "Is this a very good blessing? I don't know what this parent is thinking."

"It may not be a house sparrow, it may be other birds, maybe, right?" Xue Ruitian smiled, "Liang Jieque, do you know the origins of those people under him?"

"I heard that she is from the Jianghu, but I don't know where she got it from." Shen Zhonghe shook his head gently, "But I know that these people's hands are not clean, and they have all touched human lives. . I once made some inquiries around the corner, and Aunt Liang said that these people must be reliable, so I don’t have to worry and can use them as defenders.” He sneered, “How can a person from the Jianghu who can be bribed with money be a good person? ?”

"Are their prices high?"

"Yes, the price is not an ordinary guard, it is much higher than that of an ordinary guard!" Shen Zhonghe nodded, "I have seen their account books, and each person has at least a hundred taels a month. However, these are Aunt Liang's own personal belongings. What comes out of the treasury does not go to the public account of the government. I also asked Aunt Liang if she had enough money and whether she should use the money from the public account of the government. She said no, she can still afford it."

"That's for sure. If she uses your money, how can she win over people's hearts and make these people in the world listen to her instead of you, Master Shen?" Shen Cha chuckled, "Their loyalty is not good. That’s where it comes from, right?”

"The general is right. I figured it out later, so I never mentioned it." Shen Zhonghe raised his lips, "Although I know that she may not have the same intentions as me and Erniang, and she didn't force it, but I am absolutely determined." I never thought that Aunt Liang would have murderous thoughts towards us."
