Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 122 Do you know that a big tree attracts the wind?
On New Year's Eve, Shen Ru's family had been busy since the morning. In the afternoon, they set up an altar in the yard and prepared to pay homage to their ancestors.

Facing the capital, Shen Yan stood in front, with Shen Nian on his left and Shen Ru on his right.

Behind Shen Yan were Shen's mother with Shen Xuan, Qian with her son Shen Feng, and Shen Ping at the end.

Shen Yan muttered something in his mouth and spoke a sacrificial inscription.

"Father, the unfilial son Shen Yan confesses to you again. The Anguo Hou Mansion ended in the hands of the unfilial son."

As Shen Yan spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

Others also knelt down and kowtowed to tell the ancestors' spirits in heaven. Today is different from the past. There is no Anguo Hou Mansion in the world, only the Shen family!
After the memorial ceremony was completed, Shen Ru looked at the disappointment on Father Shen's face and was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Wujin came uninvited and walked in with his bodyguard Lu Yi and Cui Xi under the leadership.

And it seems that there is some prejudice against the current residence of the Shen family. Is it appropriate for a prisoner to live in such a big house?

"I am afraid that I will disturb you all if I come here today."

On the surface, Xiao Wujin still said politely, "Just a little care."

While talking, Lu Yi handed over something wrapped in oil paper and tied with string behind him.

Shen Ru smelled the smell of bacon. The governor came to visit and the gift he gave was quite simple!

"The sinner has seen the governor."

Shen Yan bowed to Xiao Wujin.

"Shen Ru was kind to me in saving my life in the past. I came here today just for daily business. There is no need for Mr. Shen to be polite."

Xiao Wujin said, looking at Shen Ru.

"Master Xiao, do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Ru asked bluntly, "How about I show you around your home?"

Shen Ru's directness shocked the rest of the family. After all, the governor was also a foreign man!
"That's what I meant." Xiao Wujin actually agreed.

"Aru!" Mother Shen couldn't help calling Shen Ru's name.

"Nothing, parents, you go and do your work. Today is New Year's Eve, isn't there still a lot to do?"

Shen Ru smiled lightly and said, "Master Xiao, please come this way!"

Walking on the bluestone road, Xiao Wujin looked at the red lanterns hanging around and the window grilles on the windows.

"You are very generous. Even after being sent to Liangzhou, you still behave as before."

There was no emotion or anger in Xiao Wujin's words.

"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."

Shen Ru replied: "Master Xiao, this life is for enjoyment, not for daily hardship. What's wrong with being sent to Liangzhou? You still have to live your life!"

"You can think openly, Shen Ru. You live a prosperous life, but have you ever seen what kind of life the people in Liangzhou live?"

Xiao Wujin said with a cold face, "I hate arrogance and luxury most in my life, do you know?"

"You hate the rich!"

Shen Ru frowned and looked at Xiao Wujin. He looked like a human, but his mentality was a bit abnormal!

Looking at Shen Ru with disgust, Xiao Wujin's face corrected.

"As for us, we don't steal or rob. Although it is said that our ancestors have good deeds, it is understandable that our ancestors protect our descendants!"

Shen Ru defended her family: "I respect everyone's lifestyle, but that doesn't mean I like to live a miserable life. What's wrong with the prisoners? It's up to us to save our family property!"

Xiao Wujin couldn't fault Shen Ru's words.

"If you are in your position, you must seek your duty!"

Xiao Wujin said: "I came here today to find out with you. Besides refining fine salt, what else can you do?"

"A fine salt can't satisfy you! Mr. Xiao, you don't really want me to go to the Western Regions!"

Shen Ru said playfully: "The Yan family next door are veterans here, aren't they? Why don't you let the experienced Yan family do this?"

"You know a lot. The ancestors of the Yan family made their fortune in the Western Regions. It's just that this is their family secret. As an official, you can't force the people to do things they don't want to do." "Then you can force me?" "

Shen Ru immediately asked, "Oh, that's right, prisoners are not normal people, right?"

"You want to be protected by the government, so you have to do something."

Xiao Wujin emphasized, "Although the prisoners can be considered free after arriving in the underworld, you should do hard labor."

"I have read the Daduan Law. The purpose of hard labor is to allow the exiles to bring benefits to this exile. Since I promised you, I will naturally do it, but things must be done one by one. There is no rush."

"Wait until the end of the year. You can show me the situation in Liangzhou and how the fields are, and then I will make plans."

Shen Ruman said slowly that getting Liangzhou out of poverty was not something that could be done immediately. Xiao Wujin had been trying for so many years but had not succeeded!

"How much ability do you have?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and asked tentatively.

"Ha, I don't know either!"

Shen Ru replied bluntly: "I said I could change the day, do you believe it?"

"When doing things, you have to be down-to-earth and take your time. People are already in your territory and you can't escape!"

When Xiao Wujin heard these words, he felt something else in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Ru. She had a light expression, her eyes were moist and sparkling, and she had a soothing aura around her.

If Xiao Wujin had not seen Shen Ru kill enemies with his own eyes, Xiao Wujin would have thought that Shen Ru was like a demure daughter of a noble family.

"Oh, by the way, last night, a killer went to assassinate the child of the Pei family. Did anyone tell you about this?"

Shen Ru suddenly mentioned the Pei family.

Xiao Wujin was stunned and shook his head.

"No one was told."

"You guys in Liangzhou have a lot of official ranks. Generally speaking, this matter will be left alone. Poor the Pei family, they can only be on guard day and night."

Shen Ruyi said as if referring to something.

Xiao Wujin's situation was indeed not very good. Zhao Gongming, the chief of the border defense, refused to let him be a scholar in charge of Liangzhou; the prefect had been entrenched in Liangzhou for many years, and he was somewhat obedient to him.Fortunately, Da Si Nong and other officials are reliable in their work.

"The livelihood of the Pei family...isn't your business!"

"How is it possible? Do I seem to be such an enthusiastic person?"

Shen Ru asked back, "I just can't bear to see the Pei family leaving such a child."

Xiao Wujin felt that it was time for him to do something. Even if Prince Jing's palace rebelled, what's the fault of a child?
"I know about it."

Walking to the north courtyard, Shen Ru went in without Xiao Wujin.

"This house is big, but the north courtyard is empty. There's nothing interesting to see."

She said casually and walked away with Xiao Wujin.

Xiao Wujin didn't take it seriously, but he still reminded: "The big house next to the Yan family has big trees that attract the wind. Your status will bring disaster sooner or later."

"Really? If Yan Shaoqing lives, can he get the protection of the Yan family?"

"And Master Xiao's, it's still a life after all!"

"..."

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru as if he was speechless.

"Are you saving people just so that others can repay your kindness?"

"No, I actually saved a lot of people along the way, but the most important ones are you two."

Shen Ru smiled: "Throwing a net to catch fish will eventually yield something, right?"
