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

Chapter 124 The desolate streets of Liangzhou

"What else do you know?"

After Pei Wenjing was shocked, she looked at Shen Ru blankly.

"I...what are you looking at? If my family were the spies of the Holy Emperor, they would never end up like this!"

Shen Ru saw suspicion in Pei Wenjing's eyes, and she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and slap him.

All the patience is really because she knows that Pei Wenjing will be the regent in the future. If she really knows how to take action, it's not like she can't beat him!
"The Shen family was confiscated and exiled because my father had a good relationship with your father. If my family hadn't had such a good daughter like me, I don't know what would have happened!"

Shen Ru said angrily, recalling in his mind that in the original work, the original owner Shen Ru never woke up and died on the road to exile, and the Shen family did not wait for Pei Wenjing's final rescue.

There was no guilt look on Pei Wenjing's face.

There were too many casualties in the Pei family. Apart from his tenderness for his living family members, he was almost indifferent to everyone else.

Who is to blame for the Shen family’s confiscation and exile? Blame the current emperor, blame that foolish king!
The two looked at each other. Shen Ru's anger and Pei Wenjing's doubts made Han Ye seem even colder!

"Shen Ru, there must be help behind the Shen family, right? Who was the man next to you at the Ganzhou auction house that day?"

Pei Wenjing asked, "I think the Shen family may not be so innocent!"

"Heh, heh."

Shen Ru smiled silently, "I, Shen Ru, am popular and know how to spend money, so I can naturally find out a lot of information. I have done my best to your Pei family. Pei Wenjing, Prince Jing, please get out."

"If you don't leave, I will tell your grandmother that you are alive tomorrow!"

"How dare you!" Pei Wenjing said immediately, her breath suddenly suppressed.

"I didn't report you to the government. It's already an act of kindness on my part. Please don't take my kindness as a sign that I'm easy to bully."

Shen Ru faced Pei Wenjing's vicious eyes and glared back hard.

"Shen Ru, you... are very good!"

Pei Wenjing left. After saying something he didn't know what to say, he jumped up on the wall and disappeared into the night.

Shen Ru was so angry at Pei Wenjing that she didn't want to care about the Pei family's affairs.

The Shen family has no relatives in Liangzhou City, let alone New Year greetings.

Everyone was just sitting around drinking tea and chatting in the yard.

"You said you were doing hard labor, what are you doing during the Chinese New Year?"

Qian spoke quietly, looking at her expression, she was thinking of Shen Tong.

"They can do hard labor and at least have food and shelter. If there are so many people who really don't care about them and can't leave Liangzhou City, what do you think they eat and where they live?"

Shen Ru said, his words were rough but not rough.

"Shen Ru, have you thought about what we are going to do next?"

Shen Ping asked: "You can't just sit back and have nothing!"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I haven't seen the New Year's Eve in Liangzhou City. Take your time. You're not in a hurry anyway."

Shen Ru replied that if he wanted to dry and wash the salt, he should wait until the facilities in the North Campus were completed.

Shen Ping was actually a little surprised when she received 50 taels of silver as lucky money.

On the road of exile, she was almost penniless. Now she suddenly saw the 50 tael banknote, which she thought was a huge sum of money.

How much money does the Shen family have now?

Shen Ping was a little curious.

"It's just... having nothing to do, I always feel empty in my heart."

"Isn't the hardship you endured on the road of exile not enough? Eat well, drink well and sleep well these days. Wouldn't it be better to make up for all the shortcomings before?"

Shen Ru asked: "Can't you tell, you are still working hard?"

"I'm not!"

Shen Ping glanced sideways at Shen Ru, what she said was really unpleasant. "Do you think there is any facial fat store in Liangzhou? Feng'er's face was chapped before, but now it's not healed."

Qian also said, "Even during this Chinese New Year, I'm afraid there won't be any shops open in Liangzhou City."

"If you want to know so much, then go out for a walk."

Shen Ru said, it is indeed boring at home, why not go out and experience the flavor of the New Year in Liangzhou City!
"Sister, we are going too!"

Shen Xuan and Shen Nian immediately brightened up and stood up hurriedly.

"Then... let's go for a walk?" Shen Ru looked at Mother Shen and Aunt Lian.

"You go ahead, your father also wants to choose a sunny room as a study."

Mother Shen said, "Your aunt and I will accompany your father to pack things."

"Okay, Second Aunt, what about you?"

"You should take Ping'er and Feng'er out. I still have some sewing work to do."

Qian feels that at his age, he cannot play with young people.

Soon, Shen Ru went out with his three children like a child.

Cui Xi was more familiar with Liangzhou City, so she naturally accompanied him. Shen Ping watched her brother cling to Shen Ru's brother, pouted, but didn't say anything.

Liangzhou City on the first day of the Lunar New Year is really desolate!

There was wind and sand blowing the fallen leaves on the street, and all the shops that were open on weekdays were really closed at this time.

As we walked along, we saw a teahouse still open.

"This street is really lonely walking around!"

Resting in the teahouse, Shen Ru sighed: "This Liangzhou is so deserted!"

"The girl is a foreigner. Is it Liangzhou? How can it be called Liangzhou if it's not desolate?"

The teahouse owner is an old man with gray hair.

"But I heard from my grandpa that when he was young, in Liangzhou City, people with different hair colors were walking around, and there were many people selling things on the streets."

"Old man, we heard that the governor of Liangzhou is young and promising. In the early years, Liangzhou seemed to be even less capable."

Shen Ru deliberately said that Xiao Wujin would not tell her the current situation in Liangzhou.

"That's because there used to be a lot of robberies on the streets. After the governor took office, he made great efforts to clean up the situation, which actually improved the security of Liangzhou City."

The shopkeeper said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao also wants to dig a river to connect water. It rarely rains in Liangzhou and the ground is too dry. The villagers can only grow cotton, not rice!"

"Dig the river, which river?"

Shen Ru was stunned. Both Ganzhou and Suzhou were short of water. There was a river from the snowy mountains passing by. Could it be that the snowy water Xiao Wujin wanted to divert?
"It's the snow water from the Holy Mountain. There used to be a river, but the wind and sand blew for a long time, and the river course was buried."

"In the past, the fruits in Liangzhou were big and sweet, and the rice in the fields grew very well."

The old shopkeeper was also a talkative, and someone happened to come over to talk to him, and he suddenly started chatting.

So, the decline of Liangzhou was due to lack of rain and water shortage?
If the wind and sand are strong, then plant trees. Unfortunately, this does not happen overnight.

"Shopkeeper, there are grasslands over there in Liangzhou, just large tracts of grassland!"

"Yes, but it is also decreasing year by year. The grassland outside the city is still the most fertile. Unfortunately, the people from the Western Regions are too barbaric. If they find the people of Liangzhou grazing on the grassland, they will take away the livestock at least, and the people at worst. It’s all gone.”

Therefore, Xiao Wujin wanted to snatch the grassland.

"But I heard that the army in Liangzhou City is [-]. With so many of us, are we still afraid of foreign countries in the Western Regions?"

"One hundred thousand. An army of one hundred thousand can eat and drink without fighting. It's really... tsk tsk tsk..."

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Guests, don't listen to my nonsense. If these words get passed on, your heads will fall."

"If you don't pass it on, they are all children!"

Shen Ru smiled and said, a hundred thousand troops usually have nothing to do, it is quite a waste!
