Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

This road building seems simple, but it is not.

It is not difficult to demolish the city wall, but the difficulty is how not to damage the large stone bricks.Fortunately, there were some skilled folks, and some skilled bricklayers used some method to lift up those square bricks unscathed, and the thick, wide, and uniformly thick square bricks were piled up on the edge of Zezhou City.

With the dismantling of the old city wall, the bricklayers used common small bricks to build a new city wall at the same time. Even if it is not for the safety of Zezhou, it is impossible for a huge city to have no city walls.Of course, the cost of building the new city wall was borne by the state government. Fortunately, Zezhou was rich, and Li Zhoushou took out the money without frowning.

It took more than half a month to tear down walls and build walls one by one.During this period of time, the young men who have newly joined the army are still on standby in Zezhou City. Huaguo's regulations for joining the army are very strict, and they recruit troops once a year.Temporarily recruited soldiers, if time permits, have a one-month settlement period, which means that before going to the battlefield, everything at home will be arranged to ensure that the soldiers have no worries on the battlefield.

The young and middle-aged labor force in Zezhou City is about to leave, Ren Ren naturally seized the time to use it.Every day, they take turns to demolish the city walls, or tamp the foundation of the road, sow the seeds of weeds on the soil of the road, and then spread the fine soft sand, which is very busy.

It's not that no one has complaints, but seeing that the dignified Ren family's second young master also comes to help with work every day, although more often he directs others to do it, but this is also very good.After all, everyone in Zezhou City knows how domineering and domineering the rich children are. In contrast, Ren Ershao is so close to the people and hardworking.

In addition, Li Zhoushou personally sent a message to each person who came to build the road with a salary of fifteen yuan a day, which made the people more proactive. Many women and children also joined in when there was no busy farming, and the progress suddenly accelerated. a lot of.

At this moment, the general Ren Fengjiang sent back from the front to train the recruits had returned to Zezhou, and Lin Zesheng was with him.

When he saw Lin Zesheng, Ren Ren was patting the soil with a shovel, sweating profusely with dust on his face.He was still dazed when he heard Lin Zesheng calling him, but when he confirmed that it was really Lin Zesheng, he hurriedly put aside the shovel and ran towards the person coming.

Lin Zesheng had never seen Ren Ren like this.

In the days when the two of them walked together, Ren Ren was almost obsessed with cleanliness and had to take a shower every day.Whenever I dress myself up cleanly, when the weather is hot, I simply stay indoors and refuse to go out, because I hate sticky sweat stains.Therefore, in Lin Zesheng's eyes, Ren Ren is always clean and fresh, and the occasional wet long hair shawl exudes a faint scent of saponins.

Now Ren Ren's face is covered with a layer of loess, his hair is tied behind his head with a coarse cloth, and the sweat rushes out a white mark along his forehead and cheeks. Wiping the sweat with his hands left five dark fingers on his face. mark.Lin Zesheng remembered that Ren Ren used to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief all the time, and he was laughed at for being hypocritical. He has become so informal after not seeing each other for three months?

The black eyes embedded in that dirty face made people startled, when he heard him call him, he did not miss the joy in his eyes and the movement of shaking his hands and running towards him.It's obviously so dirty that people can't avoid it, but why did he open his arms, subconsciously wanting to hug the person who flew towards him?

Ren Ren lived up to expectations and threw himself directly on Lin Zesheng, rubbing the dirt all over his body against his white robe, before retreating with a smirk and saying, "I told you not to always pretend to be clean and wear white clothes, you will suffer, right?"

Lin Zesheng turned his arms in the other direction and beat him hard on the head: "I don't need to wash it anyway, the state capital has plenty of servants."

Ren Ren pursed his lips and dragged him to the state capital, his body was so uncomfortable, he should go back and take a bath first.Pulling Lin Zesheng's sleeve, he asked, "Why are you back? Can you leave the front line?"

Lin Zesheng didn't struggle, let him drag him away, and replied: "Old General Ren gave me the letter of leaving the army and asked me to go back to Zezhou for a few days. Isn't it because I heard that there are spies in Zezhou? The general and the major general were really worried, so they asked me to come back and have a look."

Ren Ren laughed dryly. He had written two letters to his father and elder brother before, both of which were to report safety or something. He didn't mention a single word about those murders, but unexpectedly it spread to the front line.

Lin Zesheng knew something was wrong when he saw his expression, he flicked his sleeve to free his arm from Ren Ren's hands, and smiled more modestly.

Ren Ren turned his head to see his smile, and his heart immediately became terrified.It's strange to say that Ran Mo gets terrified when he sees Ren Ren's smile because Ren Ren really knows how to deal with him, but it makes no sense for Ren Ren to get terrified when he sees Lin Zesheng's smile, because Lin Zesheng has never done anything.But Ren Ren was a little scared, for no reason...

Scratching his head, Ren Ren felt that he was at fault, so he was a little guilty, and hurriedly talked about what happened recently, and then turned the conversation to the road repair, intending to divert Lin Zesheng's attention.

Lin Zesheng saw that Ren Ren deliberately changed the topic, and he didn't pursue it further with his eloquent appearance. He planned to go back at night and write a letter to report to the old general and the young general that he was safe, so he asked some questions along the topic of Ren Ren.

"Why do we plant grass on the ground first, then sprinkle fine sand, and then lay square bricks?" Lin Zesheng asked.

"Although the pavement has been rammed and reinforced before paving the stones, there are still many unevennesses. Even if the stone bricks are thick and hard, they are easy to break. Plant the grass seeds and lay the square bricks. The weeds are very strong. It will grow along the gaps and fill the gaps, and the stone slabs will not be broken so easily. As for the fine sand, it is soft and delicate, which can play a lot of buffering role."

Ren Ren is glad that Zezhou is located in the south, and the four seasons are warm. If the north is cold in winter and hot in summer, it will be even more troublesome.Even if the stone bricks are laid closely together in summer, there will always be a lot of gaps in winter.Pedestrians are okay, but if the gap is too large, horses will easily sink their hooves, which is very troublesome.

Ren Ren was really suffocated, he dragged him all the way and chattered about the difficulty of paving the road.I also communicated with Lin Zesheng a few letters in the past two months, but they were nothing more than medical discussions, or Lin Zesheng talked about the killing of the enemy on the front line, so Ren Ren didn't even have anyone to talk to.The common people have long held him high, and Li Zhoushou is an elder, so he can't lie. Although Ran Mo is close, he always avoids him for some reason (that's because I'm afraid of you, young man).So I was very happy to see Lin Zesheng Ren Ren at first glance, otherwise, the act of swooping as a greeting ceremony is really not Ren Ren's character.

Lin Zesheng also felt the same way. He became famous at a young age, and coupled with the name of the Sacred Valley of Medicine, most people would call him a genius doctor when they saw him. There are no friends of the same generation.Ren Ren is not only proficient in medical skills, but also smart and sensible. He naturally likes it, so it is also happy to see him after this period of separation.

So after the two returned to the state capital to take a bath and change their clothes, they asked someone to cook some small dishes and chatted with each other with wine pots in their hands.

Consciously or unintentionally, both of them avoided medical topics. Lin Zesheng talked about the frontline soldiers killing the enemy and the generals deploying the formation, and Ren Ren talked in detail about a series of accidents that happened in Zezhou City in recent days.

"Tell me, who did this?" Ren Ren was finally able to find someone to discuss the case with.After all, it had already been announced before that it was a murder by an enemy spy, so it was hard for him to say anything to others.

"I think you should think about it. No one knows that you will go to Butang that day." Lin Zesheng took a bite of the food and pointed out a loophole.

Ren Ren's eyes widened suddenly, and his drunken mind became sober.It was the first day he went to Butang, and the murder happened not long after Ranmo delivered the summer soup.But that person's death was definitely planned, not a temporary accident, so that person must have known in advance that he would go to Butang, and even knew that he was not at the resettlement site in the west of the city, so that person died there.

In retrospect, Ren Ren knew that Ran Mo and Pingting had been by his side all the time, and a few servants of the governor's mansion who helped fetch and boil the medicine also knew about it, but there must be no more than ten people involved!

"In this case, I suggest that other than those few servants, we should focus on sending people to watch over the Wang family." Lin Zesheng said, swallowing the flesh in his mouth.

"You mean Wang Pingting?" Ren Ren shook his head again and again, "It can't be her, that girl..." Thinking of not seeing that chubby little girl for a while, she smiled, "She was in a daze all day long. , it would be nice not to be harmed by others, how can there be any intention to harm others?"

When Lin Zesheng saw him mentioning Wang Pingting, he smiled, frowned and said, "I didn't say that Miss Wang's family, isn't there an old lady in her family? Stare at her. At first glance, no one will benefit from Wu Ji's downfall, but The current situation is still dominated by Wang Ji's family, right? So although Wang Ji is not obvious, the benefit is definitely not small."

Hearing what Lin Zesheng said, Ren Ren thought of this.Maybe it's because he loves Pingting subconsciously and doesn't think about the Wang family, but now it seems that the Wang family is indeed suspicious.

Although it has been rumored that Mrs. Wang is kind-hearted, but Ren Ren knows that it is all nonsense.How could it be easy for an old woman to take care of a huge family business that no one took care of by herself?What's more, he has often seen the vicious scenes of those luxurious harem women competing for favor, and he really can't feel good about this kind of woman.

Perhaps the only exceptions are Feng Niang with strange behavior and lovely Pingting?

However, if the Wang family really did it, is Pingting involved?

It was useless to think too much, the night was dark, so it was impossible to send someone to follow him now, plus he was very tired during the day, Lin Zesheng was also tired from the journey, the two of them asked someone to pack up the food, and fell asleep together drunk.

It had been a long time since Ren Ren had slept with anyone, so when Ren Ren woke up, he didn't know where he was.

There was a warm human body beside him, a strong and powerful arm was resting on his waist, and his face was buried on the side of his neck. The man still smelled of alcohol.Everything is so familiar, that person always comes to him when he is drunk and blurred, talks to him nicely, asks him to do one favor after another, and then pulls him and kisses him...

The misty eyes met a pair of clear eyes, Ren Ren was confused for a moment, raised his face subconsciously according to the habit he had developed over the years, touched the corners of the lips of the people around him, stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly, and then Burying his head back, he murmured obediently, "Morning."

The man said that he likes to see him in a daze when he wakes up every morning. Even though his eyes are still open, he still obediently kisses him. It's so cute.But gradually, the opportunities for him to do this to him became less and less, until when he died, he hadn't been able to touch him for more than a year.

Ren Ren's body froze suddenly, and suddenly remembered where he was, and who was beside him.

Some tremblingly raised his head, Ren Ren almost didn't dare to look into Lin Zesheng's eyes, afraid of seeing the contempt and disgust he was used to in the eyes of this only friend, closed his eyes, but felt the pain of knuckles tapping on his forehead.

"It turns out that Xiaoren's wake-up aura is so special, so cute." A familiar voice rang in his ears, and he felt another pain on his forehead.

Ren Ren opened his eyes, and what caught Lin Zesheng's sight was the finger that Lin Zesheng had just withdrawn, and his smiling eyes.
