In the past few days, that ghost-faced man no longer appeared, and Wen Yan was happy to be at leisure.

During the day, I took Yuanbao to the embroidery workshop.Occasionally go to their own fields to inspect and inspect.He collected the profits from the corsets and inspected the homework of a few youngsters at home, and his life was very comfortable.

What he can teach is almost taught to the embroiderer, at most it is to design some new patterns.So, two months later, Rongji Embroidery Workshop opened in full swing.

Once the double-sided embroidery came out, many people rushed to buy it.The second batch of embroiderers that Master Rong found were already in place, and Wen Yan selected a few embroiderers who were good at work from the first batch of embroiderers to teach them.In fact, to put it bluntly, I just went to hide myself.

Since the embroiderers had enough staff, Wen Yan proposed to design a small double-sided embroidery pattern on the corsage, which brought the popularity of the corsage to another level.Wen's family, Rong's family, and the Red Sleeve Restaurant all made a lot of money.

Wen Yan counts money in his dreams, and every time he wakes up from his sweet dreams with a smile.

However, not long after the good times, an order was issued to all villages and towns, and the entire Fengyu County exploded in an instant.

"The higher-ups want to conscript corvée!"

"That's right, there have been rumors that Mr. Rong came to Fengyu County to build the royal tomb for King Xin. Now that the collection of corvee is not for the purpose of repairing the royal tomb!"

"It's stipulated by the superiors that every household must send out one person. From the fifteenth year onwards, to the fifty-fifty downwards. The government has a population registration, and none of our families can hide."

"That's right. If corvée was collected in the past, those who have money in their families can just use the money to avoid it. But this time, the higher-ups have clearly stated that as long as they are people, they don't need money! What should I do?"

"Oh, my family has only one little grandson, who just turned fifteen this year, and he is going to see a girl. Whoever thought of this. This really makes us want to live."

"A sin!"

Fengyu County, which had been quiet for a while because of the accident in the Liu family, has finally recovered its former vitality. Now that the announcement is made today, there are only complaints.

Rong Qi became the target of these people's insults.

The frail young man in white was standing under the peach tree in Fengshan with a solemn expression on his face.

Rong Xiaowu was by Rong Qi's side, hesitant to speak several times.

"Xiao Wu, just say what you want, don't hesitate."

"My lord, if you didn't agree to this matter back then, you don't have to bear this infamy today."

"If you don't agree, you won't have the power you have today. Look, now in Fengyu County, if I say one, who dares to say two."

When Rong Qi was in the capital, she had a vague idea in her mind.He admitted that he was eager to agree to this matter, on the one hand, he also wanted to come back to find Wen Yan quickly.But after seeing and hearing along the way, he was suddenly glad that he agreed.

"But young master...Xiao Wu just loves young master."

Rong Qi smiled wryly: "Someone will always do this. Even if it wasn't me, it would be someone else. The roots of our Rong family are in Fengyu County. If it were someone else, our Rong family would be in a dilemma. son to do it."

"Xiao Wu, you don't understand the situation in this world."

Rong Xiaowu flattened his mouth: "Xiao Wu doesn't just don't understand, Xiao Wu just feels that he has suffered a lot."

Rong Qi patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "Your son has food and drink, and a wealth of wealth, so what is there to feel bad about. Think about those people who can't even eat, they are the real sufferers."

"Then son, are you really going to repair the royal tomb? Although Xiao Wu doesn't understand big things, once the corvee is conscripted, the mountain roads will be dangerous and the work will be heavy, and many people will surely die. My son, you... really can be ruthless." Calm down?"

Rong Qi closed her eyes: "It's not the end, who knows what will happen."

At the same time, Xiushan Village was also in chaos.

The officers and soldiers from the imperial court came.

Ever since he heard about this, Wen Yan has been in a state of panic all day long.I went to beg Rong Qi several times, but she avoided seeing her.

In the Wen family, the three brothers are all underage, and he is married.Then there is only one ingot in their family that meets the standard.

But unfortunately, Yuan Bao has not recovered his memory until now, if, if something happens to him in the mountains, what should he do?

He had heard that the address of the royal tomb was in Lingshan, a hundred miles away from Fengyu County.

Not only that, he also heard from others that in order to prevent the secrets of the royal tomb from being leaked, the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the royal tomb had to be buried every time it was completed.Now that Yuan Bao is gone, there is no life left to come back!

Officials don't care about these, as long as you meet the conditions, it doesn't matter whether you are a fool or not.He has hands, feet, strength, and can work, so what's wrong with a fool!

"No, you can't take the baby away! You can't!" Wen Yan hugged Yuanbao by the waist, desperately refusing to let the officials take him away.

"Don't you just want someone? I'm also a man. I'm seventeen this year. If you let the baby go, I'll go with you!"

"Oh, Mr. Wen, don't get in the way of our official business. This is a rule from above, you should let it go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rough."

"No, I can't take the baby away anyway!"

The officials were very strong, and they dragged the ingot out regardless of Wen Yan.Wen Yan staggered from being dragged and sat on the ground.

The officer broke Wen Yan's fingers one by one, and then took the Yuanbao away.

Wen Yan sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Baby, baby! My poor baby!"

Yuan Bao didn't look back, and didn't speak, he didn't cry like he used to.

Wen Yan became even more worried.

"Master, don't be sad, Master Bao is auspicious, and he will be fine." Shu Qing comforted.

Wen Yan picked up the shoes that had been thrown away a long time ago, threw them at Shu Qing, and yelled: "You are talking sarcasticly now, when the officials arrested people just now, you didn't let a fart go, at least help me drag people ah!"

Shu Qing hit the sole of the shoe abruptly.He thought to himself, this is all arranged by his Patriarch, Lingshan is their base camp, and the address of Wangling is so coincidentally chosen in Lingshan, the lord is in a hurry!

In fact, Wen Yan was just venting his anger, and he didn't really blame Shu Qing.

After all, they are officials.

Liu Lin looked at the team going away, his eyes were red, he knelt down and comforted him: "Wen Yan, don't worry, my new brother and six sons have been conscripted, they will definitely take good care of Yuanbao."

Liu Lin married Feng Xin a few days ago, so he, like Wen Yan, stayed behind in the corvee service.

As soon as these people left, the village and county became deserted all of a sudden.

Fortunately, there are still many husbands at home.

After thinking about it, Lizheng summoned the husbands of all the families, and when the grain was harvested, all the households gathered together to help the farmers who only had women and children in their families to grab the harvest, so as not to waste the grain.

Ever since Yuan Bao left, Wen Yan became wilted all of a sudden.

Every night he dreams, he can dream of the baby.

Sometimes I dream of him giggling at me.

Sometimes I dreamed that he was hit by a boulder and was covered in blood.

And when Yuan Bao was leaving, he didn't cry or make trouble, so calm, Wen Yan felt even more distressed.He was thinking about it, for fear that Yuanbao would not be full.

He was also worried about what would happen if Liu Zi and Feng Xin were not separated from the baby.Will the baby be bullied?

Those officials who are vicious and vicious, will they beat the baby with a whip?

Wen Yan couldn't sleep well or eat well all day and all night. In just half a month, he lost a lot of weight.It's hard to make the Wen family brothers feel bad.

During Yuan Bao's departure, Rong Qi came to see her a few times quietly, although he also felt sorry for Wen Yan and was troubled every day.But he had to.

Qin Li shouldn't just hide behind Wen Yan like this, he has to force his strength out.

In addition to Sun Zhao, there were also supervisors sent by the court to escort the strong man.However, these soldiers were recruited after Han Yijiang ascended the throne, and he had never met Qin Li.Moreover, the young men are all from villages and towns in Fengyu County, so Qin Li's identity is not afraid of being discovered.

Rong Qi has already prepared several doctors with excellent medical skills, and when Qin Li arrives at Lingshan, he will look for an opportunity to treat him properly and restore him to his original condition as soon as possible.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Rong Qi knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to make trouble, these people under him would definitely not be enough.

Qin Li's status is extraordinary, his martial arts are outstanding, and his ability is outstanding.With him and the little prince around, they are justified.

"My lord, there is a message that the team has arrived at Yao City near Lingshan Mountain. Sun Zhao has also recruited a lot of strong men." Rong Xiaowu reported.

Of course Rong Qi was not completely unprepared. Since he wanted to do something, he must have troops at hand.

This time, a total of 1 strong men were confiscated in Fengyu County, as well as other counties and towns under the Suizhou Prefecture and surrounding Suizhou Prefecture. The total number is more than [-].

Even if they can't win over all of these people, at least they can pull out 6000 to [-] people.Although the number is small, it is still an armed force.

All the people sent from Beijing are under his control. As long as they arrive at Lingshan, they will pretend to work for a few days, and when the time is right, they will pull out the team and choose a place in Lingshan to practice soldiers and horses.

As for whether the royal tomb is finally completed or not, it has nothing to do with him.

Thatched cottage in Xiushan Village.

Liang Ji took the antidote, and the poison was cured, but the internal strength was damaged before, and after such an experience, the internal strength has been unable to recover, and now it is only less than [-]% of the peak period.

However, Liang Ji was very pleased to be able to return to this state.

"Sir, Qin Li has been recruited as a strong man, do we need to rob him out?"

"Don't startle the snake." Ning Huai frowned slightly. "Just send someone to keep an eye on him, and don't let him get into trouble. As for robbing people... We've been hurt by the incident with Liu's house, so let's recharge our batteries and wait for the opportunity. Pay more attention to Rong Qi's movements, This person... is restless."

Ning Huai was upset.I don't know what happened, but since Rong Qi came back, they were frustrated one after another.Even Shengyuantang lost a lot of people during these days.Ning Huai even wondered if Han Yijiang had already noticed his existence.

"In short, be careful in everything. Also, keep an eye on Wen's family."

"I see."

A lot of tents were set up outside the Yaocheng post station, and these strong men were crowded together, but they could barely sleep.

Yuan Bao and Feng Xinchen were in the same place, and they took care of him a lot along the way, but they didn't make Yuan Bao suffer.

That night, while everyone was sleeping soundly, Qin Li got out of the tent.

Then a man in black followed.

"My lord, Shengyuan Hall has reacted, and our people are struggling."

"Then suspend the operation, just keep an eye on Shengyuantang's every move, and make sure to find out who is behind the scenes."

"Yes, my lord."

"What's going on at home?"

"Oh, Shu Qing sent a letter. Mr. Wen... he misses the Lord every day, his whole body is depressed, and he has lost a lot of weight. And there is..."

"What is it?"

The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Wen is looking for you!"
