Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 209 209. Personal Interrogation?

Cheng Xi found a few wooden boards with grooves, and sprinkled a layer of fertile red soil on them as petri dishes.

Shen Xingluo picked out a bunch of high-quality potato pieces in the space and started seedling cultivation.

The iron stove in the north room is burning vigorously, and the room temperature is maintained at 25 degrees, which is suitable for germination.

While the two were reading a book and concentrating on farming, there was a crisp sound from the yard, followed by Shen Xingqi's sigh.

Cheng Xi in the room also sighed.

"Shouldn't we give her genetic modification fluid?"

Lo and behold, in just two days, the little lady is about to turn into a Vajra Barbie.

There wasn't enough wood in the yard for her to build.

Shen Xingluo glanced at her, "I remember Madam said that it is best for a woman to have a bit of hard work, and she won't suffer if she marries into her husband's family in the future."

"That being said, I also like the ladylike vigor in Xingqi."

It's such a sweet burden.

On the one hand, she really hopes that her baby will be able to protect herself, and she can beat her husband to vent her anger if she gets married in the future, but on the other hand, she also likes a gentle and virtuous girl who is educated and reasonable.

"Then it depends on how Madam teaches."

Shen Xingluo felt that Cheng Xi was overly worried, even to the point of being cautious.

From his point of view, Shen Xingqi can definitely achieve both.

"Is Xing Luo at home? Oh, what's the matter. Xing Qi?"

A familiar voice came from outside the yard. The two looked at each other and stood up and walked out the door. They saw Shen Mandun and Shen Xingqi holding a broken piece of wood looking at each other.

"Uncle Mantun, please come in first."

Shen Mantun's astonishment was only momentary, after all, no matter how big his brain was, he would never have imagined that his little niece could break a thick piece of wood with a single tap.

On the contrary, Shen Xingqi avoided the other party's sight with a very guilty conscience.

But the other party obviously had something more important to say, and his attention was immediately diverted from the wood.

"Xing Luo, I'm here to give you money."

Shen Mantun took out a heavy purse as he walked in, stuffed with a lot of broken silver.

"This morning Lianhu took the skins from the ancestral hall to Lin'an Prefecture, found a good buyer, and sold them all!"

"It's a good thing, uncle, do you know which grocery store you sold it to?"

"From the Qin family, I heard that the son of the Qin family received him personally."

Shen Mandun drank a large glass of water, maybe because he got money, he was very happy.

"By the way, I've already negotiated with the neighboring Dahe Village. There are more than a dozen families in their village who want to sell their fields."

The guards hunted a lot of game from Shennong Mountain, plus the previous wolf skins. After selling all of them, every household received money. Each household was enough to buy four or five acres of Susukida.

Although four or five acres is a little small, it is already rich enough for the villagers of Shenjia Village.

These fields can not only harvest crops every year, but also can be left to sons and grandchildren in the future, which can be regarded as an inheritance.

You must know that in ancient times, very few people were able to earn a family business.

"On behalf of the villagers, I would like to say thank you. This snow disaster is thanks to you!"

Shen Mantun was grateful to Shen Xingluo from the bottom of his heart, who would have thought that not only had they all bearded and tailed in the past six months, they had also made a fortune.

I can't even think about it!

"They're all members of the Shen clan, they should be."

Shen Xingluo looked indifferent, and filled his teacup, "There is one more thing to trouble Uncle Mantun."

"Just say it."

"I want to buy some wasteland."

".What?!"

Shen Mantun was stunned, "Didn't you ask for ten acres of fertile land just now, why do you need wasteland?"

Moreover, this wasteland is difficult to produce in the first few years. Why buy it?

"There is a shortage of food in many places this year, especially in the north. Firstly, the barren land can provide a variety of food, and secondly, there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years, which is more appropriate."

That's the truth.

Shen Mantun always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he found it very reasonable.

"Then, since you have spare money to buy some property, you should. Is there any promising wasteland?"

"Have."

Shen Xingluo raised his eyes, "At the foot of Shennong Mountain, everything from Shenjia Village to Dahe Village is needed."

"!"

Lin'an Mansion, prison.

"Master, what does the Fifth Prince mean, that he wants to keep us locked up?"

"No, his hands are not that long."

"But now three days have passed, why not let him go?"

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

Zhou Lesong narrowed his eyes to hide the shrewdness in his eyes.

Madam Zhou, who was originally elegant and luxurious, saw that he stopped talking, and the bad feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, and an unprecedented panic rose.

The magistrate's prison is dark and humid, and it is the early spring season that has just experienced snowstorms, and the temperature is frighteningly low.

More than 30 members of the Zhou family huddled together and shivered from the cold. It took only one day for them to go from their high spirits at the beginning to their low spirits now.

In the past two days, there were hysterical roars at first, but the soldiers guarding around the prison did not respond as if they could not hear them, which gave everyone a lot of rest.

Sitting on the haystack, the men of the Zhou family had long lost their usual demeanor, and the younger ones were crying in their aunt's arms, which made Zhou Lesong's expression even uglier.

The handsome face of Zhou Xuzhi, the eldest son of the Zhou family, is now full of gloom.

"Father, is it true what the fifth prince said about colluding with bandits to kill officials in the court?"

Zhou Lesong gave him a stern look, "Of course it's fake, why, you hope it's true?"

"of course not."

"Then shut up and decide what to say and what not to say."

"." But he doubted it was true.

Zhou Xuzhi opened his mouth to ask something, glanced at Zhou Lesong and finally changed the subject.

"Father, hasn't there been a letter from Jingzhong yet?"

"."

Now Zhou Lesong's eyes were gloomy, his eyes raised slightly, scanning the dozens of members of Zhou's family one by one.

Outside the prison, the two sitting in the prefect's back office were also discussing marriage.

"Zhou Lesong is the prefect of Lin'an, even if he commits a major crime, he should be taken back to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Elder Jiang looked at the man opposite, "Are you sure you want to interrogate him yourself?"

"Escort to the capital, I'm afraid Zhou Xiang will have the final say."

"Aren't you afraid of making His Majesty angry?"

"It's just a magistrate, and the emperor's anger will only be momentary."

"At that time, I'm afraid there will be many people in the court who will take part in you."

Fu Chenglan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't care about those civil servants who can only grind their mouths."

"You-"

Jiang Lao shook his head and laughed, "There are many ministers in court, you should also consider making some friends."

"Father attaches great importance to imperial examinations, but those students have not been able to do their official business for a long time, but they have learned to adapt to the wind. What else can they do besides chewing their tongues?"

"makes sense."

Mr. Jiang sighed, "I saw that Qiu Wei's Xie Yuan was good last year. He was brave and resourceful. What do you think?"

Fu Chenglan thought of Shen Xingluo, his expression darkened, thoughtful.

"This person is indeed a talent."
