Chapter 311: The Identity of Master Biao
On the ox cart, Shen Xinru and Wang Baolin still felt that it was a little unreal.
They left the Wang family just like that, and the Wang family had nothing to do with them anymore.
Shen Xinru excitedly held Zhang Cuihua's hand: "Sister-in-law, thank you."
If they hadn't been on the ox cart, Baolin and Ping'er would probably have knelt down and kowtowed again.
"You will live a good life with your children in the future. By the way, what do you think? Where are you going to live?"
Zhang Cuihua didn't want to take them back to Daliushu Village blindly, in case the mother and her two children had other ideas.
Shen Xinru thought about it and looked at her son.
When a woman gets married, she obeys her husband; when her husband dies, she obeys her son. Naturally, she listens to her son now. Wherever her son goes, she and Ping'er will follow.
Zhang Cuihua also knew this and looked at Wang Baolin.
Baolin already had an idea and looked at his mother.
"Mom, I have two ideas. I heard that the coal mine is still recruiting workers. I want to work like dad to support you. Otherwise, I will go back to Daliushu Village with my uncle. We have 20 taels of silver. We can register our household registration in Daliushu Village first, and then buy some wasteland. I have plenty of strength, and we can also grow sweet potatoes and corn, so we can survive."
After listening to Wang Baolin's words, Su Wanwan was still very optimistic about this young man.
This young man is not a fool. When you hear his plan, you can tell that he is a man with a plan and a steady temperament.
"Let's not go to the coal mine, Baolin. Your father is gone. Your sister and I can't bear the pain of losing our loved ones anymore."
When Shen Xinru heard that he was still thinking about working in a coal mine, she immediately shook her head.
Digging coal in a mine is too dangerous and too hard. Given her husband's example, she said she would never let her son go there again.
"Yes, Baolin, we won't go mining. You can come to Daliushu Village. It won't cost much to settle down there. We want to grow vegetable seeds in our village. Oh, and we have opened a water mill. Your mother and Ping'er can also help us at the mill. There is plenty of work to do."
Zhang Cuihua also felt that it was not appropriate. It would not work for the family to settle in another village without any relatives to take care of them.
"Your aunt is right, Baolin, you can come to Daliushu Village. Your third cousin and I are short of manpower in our workshops, and we also have three sloping fields. After the autumn harvest, we will have to reclaim land and plant other crops. We are really too busy to handle it."
"Aunt, you can all come to work. We may need to recruit many people from other villages. We can't fully trust so many people. If you come to help watch over them, we will feel at ease."
Su Wanwan extended an olive branch.
She had also examined the character of the mother and her two children. Her uncle's family had a water mill and other braised meat businesses, so they definitely wouldn't have many people to help.
If my aunt and her family come, they can be considered trustworthy and reliable.
Wang Baolin was tempted and thought it would be great if he could go and help his cousin.
Not to mention anything else, just say that he came to rescue them this time, and he can never repay this favor. If he can work in his workshop, he will definitely do his best.
"Thank you, my third cousin and his wife, and thank you, my uncle and my aunt. Don't worry, I will not embarrass you when we get to Daliushu Village."
Wang Baolin was relieved, and everyone was relieved.
Next was Ping'er's matter. It was already afternoon time, so the group went to have a meal and then went to the inn to rest.
As soon as she arrived at the inn, Su Wanwan heard a noise outside the door. Shen Yuan opened the door and it was a strange man.
Shen Yuan took out a wooden sign and showed it to the man. The man handed him a letter and left.
This scene happened right under Su Wanwan's eyes, and the wooden sign was also hung around Shen Yuan's waist.
I think it is the proof of his power. Su Wanwan is not curious about Shen Yuan's power.
She already knew that it was an intelligence-like organization. Shen Yuan had not only fought at the border, but also defeated many bandits in the mountains and seized a lot of property.
All the visible property was confiscated, but the hidden property was hidden by him. In fact, Shen Yuan was very financially strong.
It was precisely because of these properties that he was able to quietly establish his own intelligence network.
But after he faked his death, this intelligence network had not been used for a long time until these days.
Shen Yuan had already finished reading the letter. Su Wanwan saw that he was frowning slightly and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong? Is Li Biao still difficult to deal with?"
Shen Yuan did not hide it from her and directly showed the letter to Su Wanwan.
It's not surprising that Li Biao's backer is the steward of Chengwang Mansion. They have long guessed that the person behind Li Biao is not Cheng Wang, but a person with a lot of say in Chengwang Mansion.
What is surprising is that Li Biao actually came from a bandit family.
In the two years after the new emperor ascended the throne, disasters occurred frequently and the treasury was empty. In order to fill the treasury, he sent a lot of troops to various places to suppress bandits and earned a lot of money.
Their Beichang Prefecture also wiped out the two largest bandit camps, one of which was the Black Wind Camp, located at the junction of Tongxu County, Xinping County and Feng'an County.
The Black Wind Village was also wiped out that year, but several leaders of the Black Wind Village ran away quickly, leaving behind an empty shell. Unexpectedly, after the suppression of banditry was over, the people of the Black Wind Village made a comeback. Now it has become the top problem for Beichang Prefecture.
In the past two years, Beichang Prefecture has sent people to attack Heifengzhai, but there have been either floods or droughts in the past two years, and the people are living in dire straits. More and more people have become bandits, and the power of Heifengzhai has grown. The military forces of several counties are too weak.
What's more, the geographical location of Black Wind Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Beichang Prefecture failed once and asked the court for help. However, the court was unable to send troops in the past two years. Over time, Black Wind Village became more and more rampant.
"Shen Yuan, Daliushu Village is now well-known and everyone knows that it grows sweet potatoes. Do you think Black Wind Village will take advantage of the autumn harvest to rob Daliushu Village?"
Su Wanwan was also suddenly shocked when she learned about the Black Wind Village.
The Black Wind Village is not very far from their village. There has been a food shortage everywhere in the past two years. There are so many people in the Black Wind Village. Will they try to steal their food?
The tree is big and attracts the wind.
This is also what Shen Yuan was worried about.
He was not worried that Li Biao had any connection with Black Wind Village. The biggest problem now was to deal with Li Biao while also solving the hidden danger of Black Wind Village.
"There are still a few days before the autumn harvest, so let's solve this hidden danger first."
He had always known about the affairs of the Black Wind Village, but what he didn't know was that Li Biao was actually the third in command of the Black Wind Village. Coincidentally, he also planned to get rid of this scourge of the Black Wind Village before the autumn harvest.
But he didn't want to expose his identity and strength, so he could only take a long-term view, and Li Biao happened to be a breakthrough point.
At this time, in the gambling house in Xinping County, Li Biao, who was dressed in black, was also shocked when he heard the report from his servant and stood up directly.
"Who is so bold as to ruin the good deeds of Master Biao San? That idiot Wang Fuqiang!"
The person who came to report was not Wang Fuqiang, who was still lying on the bed screaming. He was an eyewitness in the village who came to report secretly in order to please Master Biao Sanye.
