Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

"When you're free, Captain Zhuang, tell me quickly and I'll treat you to some melon." Shen Lingzhu picked up the melon and ran away from Master Chi.

Zhuang Baibu dismounted and clasped his fists with Shen Chi, exchanging greetings. Then, sensing the gazes of many villagers in the surrounding fields, he said, "Let's find a quiet place?"

"Let's go to our melon field." Shen Lingzhu thought about the important matter he said, and it would be better to let her senior sister hear it too.

"The beans in the field have sprouted, just tie the horses there." Shen Chi pointed to a few trees lined up in front, where the Shen family's mule cart and donkey were tied.

As they approached with their horses, Huang Ruyue waved and asked Shen Lingzhu what was going on.

A moment later, standing in the middle of the melon field, away from other fields, Zhuang Baibu said to the family of four, "Shi Wu disappeared in the government jail."

"What?" Shen Lingzhu's family said in unison, all surprised.

Shen Chi was the quickest to react: "Are there any members of the Shi family in the city that have not been completely eliminated?"

Zhuang Baibu naturally understood what Master Chi meant by the Shi family, and that this also included those recommended and promoted by Duke Zhong. He quickly coughed and said, "Ahem, from what you said, not everyone has the surname Shi, and those with the surname Shi who are not closely related to Shi Biao have also remained in their posts."

"So what do you want to say?" Shen Chi instantly became worried about his two daughters. He took a big step forward and blocked them behind him.

On the contrary, Shen Lingzhu and Shen Miaozhu did not show any fear on their faces.

"The entire Baozhou Guard is in a state of panic. The chief is helping with the search. He wants the two Miss Shens and the people who were apprehended that day not to enter the city again in the near future.

When traveling on weekdays, try to protect yourself. "Zhuang Baibu couldn't say for sure, someone from the Wude Camp might be involved. Currently, all the guard posts in Baozhou are being checked layer by layer.

"Can't my parents go too?" Shen Miaozhu was worried about Huang's recuperation.

Zhuang Baibu hesitated for a moment, then nodded again, "It's best not to go. There are people assigned by the boss to your food store every day."

"For safety reasons, second sister, do you think we can invite Doctor Qian to the county town?" It didn't matter whether Shen Lingzhu went or not.

Shen Miaozhu pondered for a moment and said, "If we can't catch Shi Wu, our family will always be in danger.

By the way, did his two guards escape as well?"

"No, those two are injured and can't move easily." Zhuang Baibu had seen the one with arrows in his legs and secretly praised the two Shen brothers for their good accuracy. "Shi Wu is also injured, we should be able to catch him soon."

The four members of the Shen family looked at each other without making any comment. Shen Chi said, "We don't have to go to the city. If we don't go to the city, the watermelons in this field will sell for a few less taels of silver.

"Captain Zhuang, are you interested in purchasing two carts and reselling them in the city?"

Zhuang Baibu shook his head repeatedly and said, "The message has been delivered. I still have military matters to attend to. Goodbye."

Although Shen Chi was disappointed, he still gave him several melons to take away.

"Fortunately, we planted fewer melons this year." This was the only thing that made Shen Lingzhu feel relieved.

Huang Ruyue watched her husband seeing off guests in the distance while she said to her two daughters, "Don't go to the county town either. When you hear that Duke Zhong has fallen, you can enter and leave the county town and the prefectural city freely again."

Shen Lingzhu was stunned. "Mother, aren't we being too cautious? What if Duke Zhong comes back to life again..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, his nephew is plotting a rebellion, how can he be clean?

Listen to me, from now on you will be confined to the village like your father.

And Xianzhu, I have to go talk to my sister-in-law about this." Huang Ruyue said, not wanting to watch her pleading, and turned and walked away quickly.

Shen Lingzhu squatted down with his chin in his hand in frustration: "I will have to stay in the village for a long time from now on.

Earlier, my eldest brother said he would bring some watermelons and peaches to Ansu to thank Uncle Ren for his financial support last year."

Shen Miaozhu patted her head: "It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this time to prune the fruit trees planted on the mountain.

Add to that the grapes in the vineyards, and we'll be busy in the summer and fall."

As for the two food shops, they are already on track and just need someone to be in charge of their management.

She added, "If you can't go to the county town, then either Uncle Seven or Uncle Nine can be transferred back to take charge.

After all, it’s not easy for my uncle to show up in the county town again.”

Shen Lingzhu stood up: "Shi Wu doesn't know his uncle very well, right?

And since he escaped from prison, he should have gone to a safe place quickly."

"This is the normal situation, but no one knows whether he will bear a grudge and harm us." Shen Miaozhu didn't mind speculating about Shi Wulang with the greatest malice.

then……

After the beginning of autumn, Shen Lingzhu was picking grapes in the grape field when she heard her eldest brother's cheerful call: "Second sister, third sister, good news, great news."

She looked up and saw her eldest brother holding a letter in his hand. She thought it was a letter from her uncle, so she dropped the scissors and ran out of the grape field with her senior sister.

Shen Xianzhu smiled widely as he unfolded the letter for them. He glanced at the women who were busy picking grapes and paying no attention to them, and said in a very low voice, "This was written by a classmate of mine in the capital. Duke Zhongguo was resentful of losing power and conspired with his nephew and grandson to commit treason.

Now, the entire Shi family has been raided, and all of their descendants and close associates have been imprisoned one by one."

"It's indeed good news." Shen Miaozhu read the letter carefully and then read it again.

Shen Lingzhu asked, "Then, will uncle be transferred back to the capital?"

"There will definitely be many vacancies in the future." Shen Xianzhu also hoped that his father would come back, "But, Dad has only been in office for half a year."

Shen Lingzhu said decisively: "We have to go to Beijing to help uncle fight for it."

Coincidentally, Shen Chi, who had seen the letter early, also pulled his wife to discuss with Hu, "Sister-in-law, this opportunity cannot be missed. There are many positions vacant in the capital right now."

"No, we haven't received any more accurate information yet." Mrs. Hu became more cautious.

She grabbed her daughter, who was just over a year old and was walking unsteadily, and said, "And so far the government hasn't caught Shi Wulang again.

You've been stuck at home for over four months, don't let your efforts falter in the final period."

"Sister-in-law, you should always take the initiative to find out.

How about you write a letter to your eldest brother's friend in Beijing?" Huang Ruyue held Erlang. She also thought that this was a rare opportunity. Her eldest uncle was the pillar of the family. If he was well, the whole family would be better off.

Shen Chi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, now, Minister Sun, who is a fellow townsman of Duke Zhong and was pushed to the position by him, is likely to be imprisoned as well.

Please, Brother Cheng Shi, help me investigate the case of Mr. Sun who falsely accused my elder brother.

My sister-in-law wrote to me and asked me to go to Beijing in person to see what the situation is.

If the situation allows, I will sue Mr. Sun on behalf of my elder brother."

"No, no, no." Mrs. Hu could not agree even more.

Shen Chi persuaded again: "Sister-in-law, I don't believe that my brother didn't save some evidence."

Hu lowered her eyes. The master had certainly kept the evidence, but she didn't know whether it had been taken away during the house search.

While I was hesitating, Xiao Zhuzi's voice rang out from the yard, and then she ran into the house and said, "Auntie, Auntie, let's check the accounts to see how much silver we have at home.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to plan for Uncle's future."
