The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

"Hello, uncle." When Xie An saw Xie Songlin coming, he immediately put down the French fries and greeted Xie Songlin.

"Hey, Xiao An, it's okay. Keep eating. I'll go find your sister." Xie Songlin felt that he had frightened the child, so he planned to go to the study with Xie Wanxing to talk. Today, there happened to be no one in the backyard, and the study room where classes were usually held was also empty. He worriedly reminded Xie An, "Xiao An, just eat here. Don't leave. Let your uncle and sister talk for a while."

"Uncle, I understand." Xie An nodded obediently and continued to eat the French fries in his hand, but his eyes occasionally looked in the direction where Xie Songlin and Xie Wanxing left.

Xie Songlin and Xie Wanxing entered the study and sat at the desk near the main door. With the door open, they could just see Xie An in the yard. This way, they could keep an eye on the child at all times and have a conversation with peace of mind.

Xie Wanxing looked at Xie Songlin with a puzzled look on his face: "What's the matter, Dad? Why are you free to come over at this time today? And you're so mysterious."

"News about Lu Qinghe." Xie Songlin's tone was calm. These few short words instantly aroused Xie Wanxing's curiosity.

Her eyes widened slightly, and her body leaned forward involuntarily. She asked anxiously, "Lu Qinghe? What happened to him? Any news?"

"Yes, but it's not very good." Xie Songlin frowned and said, his eyes revealed a hint of solemnity, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his heart. "Axing, do you know what their family does?"

"I know. He's a famous grain merchant in the capital." Xie Wanxing answered without hesitation. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand why her father suddenly mentioned this.

"Then do you still remember what Mr. Zhao said a few days ago, about the missing disaster relief grain in Yongzhou? I have asked many outsiders in the shop these two days, and almost none of them know about the missing disaster relief grain in Yongzhou. It can be seen that this news has not spread. Moreover, we are so close to Yongzhou, it is impossible that we have not heard any news about such a big thing." Xie Songlin's tone became heavier.

"But what does the disappearance of Yongzhou's grain have to do with Lu Qinghe? Isn't he just an ordinary student?" Xie Wanxing frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. "Dad, could the theft of Yongzhou's disaster relief grain be related to the Lu family?"

"The Lu family's property was confiscated, and it wasn't an open trial. The Imperial City Division ruled and cleared out the entire Lu residence overnight."

Xie Wanxing was stunned: "What's the charge?"

"They colluded with officials in the imperial court and embezzled disaster relief grain." Xie Songlin was obviously shocked by the news. "That's what Mr. Zhao just told me, but he wouldn't say more. I don't know the specifics. If the Imperial City Bureau is determined to suppress the news, then Master Tao and the others will never be able to find out anything."

"Who did you collude with? Where are the other members of the Lu family?"

"I don't know. I don't know anything else. The Lu family must have been taken away by the Imperial City Bureau." Xie Songlin shook his head. "Old Zhao isn't particularly clear about this either. After all, the incident happened in the capital, and he's out of reach. Besides, he's not an official, so it's not convenient for him to know about many things. It's just that many people in the court are his disciples, so he can get some information."

Xie Songlin thought for a moment and added, "I think Lu Qinghe is probably in great danger."

Xie Wanxing was silent, but her pale face still revealed her current mood. Lu Zhou was the first friend she made after coming to the ancient times. He was gentle and kind, and he spoke and acted in moderation. Although he was much older than her, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy after all. He had a bright future and a promising future.

She bit her lip tightly, trying hard to control her emotions, but tears flowed uncontrollably. She trembled in her voice, "How could it be? How could the Lu family covet that disaster relief grain? Even I know this. This is a matter of life and death."

"Can't we know what's happening to others?"

"How can we find out the information? Even Mr. Zhao doesn't know." Xie Songlin shook his head, flipped his hand, took out a pack of tissues from his space and handed it to Xie Wanxing, "Axing, wipe your tears. I promised Mr. Zhao that I would never tell anyone about this. You have heard it, but you can't tell Tao Bihua and the others."

"I know." Xie Wanxing nodded, but tears still flowed. "But even if their family is guilty, they should be given a set of rules for punishment. How can it be resolved so quietly?"

Xie Songlin sighed, "Axing, what explanation do you want? Have you forgotten where we are now? You still want fairness? In ancient times, the least valuable thing was human life. People died without even an explanation. Don't be fooled by Lu Zhou's family's wealth; in the face of absolute power, it's useless."

In this feudal era, power is supreme, and law and justice seem to be just a luxury. Xie Wanxing feels extremely desperate. She doesn't know what else she can rely on in such a world. She can only shed tears silently.

Xie Songlin patted his daughter's head and said softly, "Okay, I'll accompany you slowly. When you meet other people tonight, you should control your emotions and don't let them see it."

Xie Wanxing nodded when he heard this, and said with a heavy nasal voice: "Dad, I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Were we too optimistic before? We took it for granted that we could continue to grow our business and open shops this way. But before we were able to protect ourselves, could we really succeed this way? The oppression and injustice of power could befall us at any time."

"I've thought about it, Ah Xing," Xie Songlin said. "Why do you think I gave the blueprints to Mr. Zhao? It's not just that I think he's trustworthy, I also feel there's more to him than meets the eye. If we become good friends with him, he'll be able to protect us if anything happens in the future."

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Unless you want to stay in this small town for the rest of your life, we must find a way to become stronger. The experimental field is too big a deal. Let's start from scratch." Xie Wanxing finally wiped away her tears and said, "Don't hire temporary workers from outside, and don't plant where outsiders can see. It's best to buy a small farm in a secluded place and hire some people who have signed death contracts to farm there."

"I had the same thought." Xie Songlin frowned, his expression becoming serious. "We've been too comfortable here before. We've all been too relaxed. We must be aware of the crisis now. If the new wheat seed is feasible, the benefits will be too great. This matter must not be leaked until we are able to protect ourselves."

"Well, after my brother and the others finish their exams, let's go out and see if we can buy a smaller farm." Xie Wanxing nodded, temporarily suppressing his emotions. "Do you have money?"

"Yes, of course. Don't worry." Xie Songlin smiled at her, "Your father and I have plenty of money."
