Chapter 138
However, just as Zhao Shifu and An Qi were about to get into the carriage, they saw Zhao Shirong rushing over, looked at them with a sad face and said, "Second brother is alive or dead, so naturally I, the eldest brother, should rush over to check the situation, why didn't you inform me?" ? Do you still think of me as a big brother?"

It has to be said that since Wang's family was almost beheaded last time because of putting his family in prison, there has been some gap between the second and third families and the long house.It's just that they are all brothers, and the brotherhood of more than 20 years has not been shown on weekdays.Moreover, brothers Zhao Shihua and Zhao Shifu watched the three children in the long room grow up, and felt more or less pained by treating them as their own children, and did not extend their dissatisfaction with Wang to the three children.Therefore, nothing can be seen on weekdays.

But despite this, Zhao Shirong himself still felt that even if the two brothers didn't say anything afterwards, it was indeed his mother-in-law who harmed the two brothers, and he actually felt ashamed in his heart.Over time, the three brothers inevitably had knots in their hearts.

It was also for this reason that An Ran's third uncle Zhao Shifu was the first person An Ran thought of going to Jinzhou, and she never thought of asking her uncle to come.When Zhao Shifu left, he never thought of leaving the family affairs in the care of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and would rather entrust them directly to his eight-year-old niece, An Ran.

But when Zhao Shirong asked clearly, Zhao Shifu didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, An Ran, who came to see him off, took the conversation naturally: "Uncle, I asked my third uncle to accompany my brother to Jinzhou. Firstly, third uncle is younger and in good health, so he is more suitable for long-distance treks; secondly, he is at home Grandparents are sick, uncle is the eldest son, how can he leave?"

After hearing An Ran's words, Zhao Shirong couldn't find anything to say for a while, as if he was really making trouble for no reason.Isn't it true that the third brother and nephews and nieces don't trust him?Is he overthinking?
While Zhao Shirong was in a daze, An Ran turned around and said to third uncle and elder brother with red eyes: "Third uncle, brother, it's getting late, it's time for you to set off."

Zhao Shifu nodded, helped An Qi to get on the carriage quickly, and immediately climbed up, and then the carriage started to trot, faster and faster, farther and farther.

"Sister Ran, are you still blaming Uncle?" Zhao Shirong looked at An Ran's red and swollen eyes, pretending to be calm, and asked in a hoarse voice.

An Ran turned her head and looked at the uncle indifferently, and said, "For so many years, the Daba Mountains have been plagued by bandits and robbed passing caravans from time to time, but I have never heard of bandits in Jinzhou robbing pedestrians and killing people. They don’t have much money on them, so they are mentally sick to rob, not only will they have no money, but they will also arouse the imperial court’s wrath and rush to take the exam.”

Zhao Shirong looked at An Ran in shock, and asked tremblingly, "What does my niece mean..."

An Ran looked at him calmly and said, "What I mean is that my father was not killed by the bandits in Jinzhou, he was deliberately murdered. In the past few years, apart from my father's feud with the magistrate Mr. Lu, There are no other enemies. It is said that Master Lu died in Jinzhou when he returned to the capital. Uncle thinks, who killed my father?"

Zhao Shirong staggered back two steps, staring at An Ran in shock: "Sister Ran, you have already confirmed that your father..."

An Ran blinked her eyes lightly and looked up at the sky, but tears still rolled out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.She took a deep breath and said, "I really don't want to believe this is true. But I know in my heart that my father was really killed by them..."

After finishing speaking, An Ran didn't care what the uncle thought, turned around and ran in.

She also wanted to find a place where there was no one to cry.The father who loved her the most is gone, how can the pain in her heart be compared to that of her uncle?She was already so sad, so naturally she didn't care whether her words would hurt uncle's heart.What's more, in the final analysis, didn't the matter of the eldest aunt lead to this matter?If there was no matter about the eldest aunt, even if Lu Shi wanted to trouble his father, he would not have brought the matter to the capital in the end, and would not have made such a big feud.

Zhao Shirong stared blankly at the dawn that was getting brighter and brighter, and felt a dull pain in his heart.Was it his mother-in-law who killed his own brother?The second younger brother was the hope of the Zhao family, he might be able to become an extremely human minister, but when he was about to soar into the sky, he was killed by someone, killed by his stupid mother-in-law, he was a sinner of the Zhao family... …

But no matter how bad that stupid woman is, she is also his married wife, his woman, and the mother of his child. Besides, things have already happened, even if she is killed, it will not help!What can he do?Is it really necessary for him to divorce his wife?
In the afternoon, Zhao Anshu and Wang Moqian hurried back.

An Shu is the first child of the Zhao family's generation. When she was young, she was also held in the palm of her second uncle. When she heard the bad news, her eyes were already swollen from crying.Although Wang Moqian got married to Zhao's family not long ago, Zhao Shihua gave him more guidance in the past two or three years, so he was successfully admitted to the scholar.Thinking of his second uncle being killed by thieves, his niece and son-in-law couldn't help feeling sad.

The third uncle and elder brother left, grandpa suffered a stroke, uncle felt guilty, now the Zhao family doesn't even have a man in charge.After Wang Moqian arrived, An Ran asked him to help receive the neighbors who came to her door, and asked An Shu's sister to take care of her grandma.

In the evening, Wei Qingyuan and Zhao Yunxing also arrived; almost immediately, Zhao Annan, Qian Ying, his wife, Gu Shengwen, Gu Shaolin and his son also arrived.

Everyone was so shocked to hear such news, they didn't believe the authenticity of the news, so they rushed to ask for clarification.After all, it has been a hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and the society is stable. Although the forest is full of all kinds of birds, there will be one or two robbers from time to time, but such things as robbing and killing poor students who are rushing for the exam are really unheard of .

Therefore, both Wei Qingyuan and Gu Shengwen felt that the news might be wrong.However, having said that, their hearts are still very heavy, especially Gu Shengwen.

The current stalls of the Gu family are so large, and more than 100 shops have been opened one after another. It is not because there is Zhao Shihua Zhao Juren behind him, and Zhao Shihua has a very good relationship with Luzhou Li Zhifu, Huzhou Qian Zhifu and Xicheng He County Magistrate. These three adults have many friends of the same age in the officialdom, so no one dares to make crooked ideas about the Gu family's business.But now that something happened to my brother-in-law, I'm afraid that the Gu family will become meat on the chopping board.How can Gu Shengwen not worry?
