On July 15th, the emperor issued an order.

More than 20 people in the entire court and country who were implicated by the Jinwu Sect have been convicted, and 17 people have been beheaded and nine people have been exiled. Hu Zongmao gave poisoned wine, Hu Zongmao's two sons, Li Nanqing and the father and son of the Li family, were all beheaded and displayed in public.

The Hu and Li family were under fifteen years old, as well as the female family members in the family, who were sent to Lei Gong Island. The matter of the Jinwu Sect has become quiet at this point. Zhang Fuling has closed the case to the public, but Fang Jizhong is still continuing in the subsequent investigation.

Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo rarely go back to the capital. In order to urge Xue Mingyu, Sheng'er and Dong'er to study, they also temporarily moved to Beishan to live.

After the third prince recovered, he broke up the line and went back to the capital. He did not come to thank him, let alone say anything more. Zhou Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this is the best, and everyone is at peace with less contact.

Of course, even if the stitches were removed, it was Desheng and others. Zhou Heng also had a note to ban sex within one month. It would be better to get a shower box like Beishan when you go back, which is beneficial to the third prince's body. Wei Siwen asked for a copy of the size and drawings before leaving.

Taking advantage of this period, Zhou Heng also wrote the follow-up of Journey to the West. Of course, given that Zhou Heng was too lazy to write, these were all written by him and the records of Xue Mingyu were sorted out. In Zhou Heng's words, this was to train Xue Mingyu's literary ability.

The training of the first batch of military doctors has begun, and Sun Maocai and the others are very busy. As for the Women's College, Zhou Heng asked Liu Xiu'er not to recruit students for the time being. After all, the palace maid who released the palace from the Empress Dowager will be in place in August.

In this way, there is a period of spare time.

Zhou Heng asked someone to pack his luggage. After all, he had been to the capital for more than half a year and had not gone out for a walk. Zhou Heng took Zhu Yunmo, Xiuer, Xue Boss, and Su Xiaoxiao who came uninvited to drive directly to Tongzhou.

The empress dowager prepared a lot of things, and she loaded half a car. With the various food medicines and some daily necessities prepared by Xiuer and Zhou Heng for Liu Renli, she directly occupied two carriages.

Pang Qi and Pang Ba did not hide in his body and followed him this time, but instead changed into a servant's dress and drove the car to follow him.

Xiu'er was very happy and unconsciously hummed the song inside the peach blossom fan. Su Xiaoxiao was still a little restrained at first and kept poking Xiu'er, but later she was taken by Xiu'er and started singing and making noise together.

When I entered the Tongzhou area, I watched the crops on the roadside grow happily, and people patrol from time to time.

A scarecrow was placed in the fields, holding a flag with a scarecrow. When the wind blew, the flag in the scarecrow's hand began to sway randomly due to the wind, which was very intimidating to the birds.

Every ten feet apart, you can see shacks on the roadside, and some people are walking around. This is a period of corn and potatoes growing wildly. Although it is not cultivated with greenhouses, both crops like hot weather. The more this temperature grows, the better.

After watching the whole way, Zhou Heng gradually let go of his worries. At the beginning, Zhang Fuling protected Liu Renli. Looking at the promoted planting area, Liu Renli really took some effort. After all, not everyone is willing to plant new crops. Farmers are just a group of people who rely on the heaven to make a living. If the heavens do not do good, everything will be futile.

I watched it all the way and walked for more than a long time. At the end of noon, their carriage arrived in Tongzhou City.

Liu Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao chatted constantly. After all, it was close to the capital, and there were many merchants from all over the world coming and going from wharf, and there were many shops and shouting pedestrians on the street.

"This Tongzhou City is so lively. Not to mention that it is even better than the East Street of Beijing. Should we go directly to our brother's place, or what should we do?"

Xiu'er looked up at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng paused and happened to see an inn, diagonally opposite the Tongzhou Prefecture. Zhou Heng suddenly remembered that the last time he and Boss Xue came to Tongzhou, he lived in this inn.

Liu Renli was busy farming and had a lot of things. I don’t know if anyone was taking care of the backyard of the government office. It would be better to settle here first. After all, this place was ancient and you could not call people in front of you with a phone call.

"Let's stay here. Let's wash and ask the shop to prepare a table of local specialty noodles. I remember that the fish stewed here last time was very distinctive. The unique white fish in the local area was very large, with the head stewed soup, the fish body braised, and the fish scales were fried. The taste was very special. With the local canal river shrimps, the taste was really good."

Liu Xiu'er pouted and looked at Zhou Heng dissatisfiedly. It seemed that after the two were no longer brother and sister, Xiu'er no longer suppressed her feelings. She felt a little unhappy and wrote it directly on her face. Perhaps this is the real her.

"It's better to send someone to notify your brother quickly. I know he's busy, at least we'll see you even if we come!"

Zhou Heng rubbed Xiu'er's head and smiled docilely on his face, of course, completely ignoring Su Xiaoxiao's pent-up gesture.

"Silly girl, send someone to find her immediately. We will go in and wash up first. After running for a long time, we are covered in dust. Do you want to see your brother like this?"

Xiu'er finally calmed down. Without Zhou Heng's instructions, Zhu Yunmo had already asked Pang Ba to find someone. After all, they came to Tongzhou last time, so they were still very familiar with this place. Several people entered the store.

The waiter had actually seen a few people coming in intentionally, and came closer to him and kept wiping a table beside the window with a white rag on his shoulder.

"I wonder how many distinguished guests stay in a hotel or have a drink?"

Without Zhou Heng and the others' instructions, Boss Xue had already walked closer and separated the waiter. A ingot of silver appeared in the palm of his palm and raised it and shook it.

"Let the shopkeeper find a room with a size of Tianzi. It is best to rely on the courtyard on the west side, clean it up quickly, and then prepare water for our young lady to wash it. Finally, someone will eat three meals of white fish in your house and send it to the backyard, beef, mutton and other side dishes, and prepare a special table to deliver it to you."

The waiter smiled and wanted to reach out, but suddenly he pushed him away with a slap.

The shopkeeper with a fat face had already come close to him, and he smiled when he took the silver and quickly threw a bunch of keys to the waiter.

"Distinguished guests must be regular guests. Everyone knows that our West Cross-Year Hospital is the best. We also know that our three-eat white fish is the characteristic of Tongzhou City. Why not prepare quickly, the younger ones will lead a few of them over."

As he said that, he led Zhou Heng and the others to the west to cross the courtyard. After settling down the servants in the shop, they left, and several of them washed up and started eating.

The food arranged by Zhou Heng is naturally extremely delicious. After all, he can think that the taste buds that have been trained by later generations are good, and the taste is naturally very distinctive.

Several people were hungry all the way and quickly started eating. Su Xiaoxiao held a bowl of mutton and ate it, smashing it and mouthing, and was a little dissatisfied.

"It's all your fault. I ate the Dongpo pork at your house last time. No matter what meat I eat now, it's either too hot or too thin, and the taste is not as smooth as the Dongpo pork. When will the pigs you want to raise start to be launched in large quantities? So you won't have to go to your house if you want to eat it."

Maybe I was having fun today, and Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything bad. Zhou Heng laughed. Actually, he wasn't it? Although beef and mutton were delicious, they didn't have any fragrance in a bite of pork. When I bite, I felt oily and my mouth was full of smell. The smell was fragrant with my lips and teeth.

"I also think that when I came to Tongzhou this time, I told my elder brother that if the crops are harvested in autumn, there will be nothing to do. Men can do short-term work. Women and children at home have nothing to do. It is best to catch piglets at this time.

We have also developed medicines for pigs to prevent diseases, so that we can kill pigs during the Chinese New Year in a year. Of course, we can also keep some for our own food, so that the Chinese New Year looks like the Chinese New Year.”

Boss Xue nodded in sighing, "When I was a child, I would have taken Mingyu to live. If I caught a litter of rabbits, I would have sold the big ones and kept the small ones for Mingyu to stew them. But he couldn't bear to leave them. He always raised them and asked me to exchange them for food. I couldn't taste the meat for several years.

According to the young master's expectations, if the pork could be half cheaper than mutton and it would be cheaper to go into the water, wouldn't the people be willing to eat some meat during the New Year and the Festival? It would not be bitter for a year, and use noodles to make fish and sheep."

Although Liu Xiu'er's parents were not around, her family was still well-off since childhood. Besides, Liu Renli was a crazy girl who was pampering her, so how could her sister suffer? Naturally, everything is close to her. So when she heard what Boss Xue said, she was very moved.

The same is true for Su Xiaoxiao. His father is a general. They have always lived in Datong. Everything is taken care of by King Ning. It cannot be said to be a rich and frugal food, but there is absolutely no shortage of meat to eat. All kinds of expenses are absolutely good.

"The whole pig banquet we ate last time was really delicious. If this one could be promoted, especially in Tongzhou, it would be a good thing."

Su Xiaoxiao also said, "It's really good. The pigs you raise taste different from ordinary wild boar meat. They don't have a stale smell, nor are they so fat and thin. Not to mention stewing a pot of meat, I think it's very delicious even if you use that bone stew."

Zhou Heng smiled. This is actually the case with pork. It looks fat, but the stew is extremely fragrant and does not seem abrupt when paired with any dish.

"I think so too. Wait until Pang Ba comes back. I guess they will arrive soon!"

As he said that, the few people unconsciously accelerated their movements. As soon as the leftovers were removed, a sound of talking came from the yard, and Liu Renli's voice was heard.

"Why don't you go to the mansion when you come? What are you doing in this restaurant?"

As he spoke, Liu Renli and Pang Ba walked in. The black and thin figure almost made Zhou Heng unable to recognize him. He looked no different from an ordinary farmer. Zhou Heng quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Renli.

"Although Your Majesty issued an order to prevent us from having a brother of a different surname, I still want to call Brother Liu. It's better to call Lord Liu. Is Brother Liu better recently?"

Liu Renli quickly walked to the front of him, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand, held it very hard, and patted his arm hard.

"Okay, I like this title too, otherwise Mr. Zhangkou or Lord Liu will become disgusted as he hears it, so just call Brother Liu!"

After saying that, he saw Zhu Yunmo, he quickly bowed and bowed, "The prince is here, Renli has met the prince."

Zhu Yunmo waved his hand, with dissatisfaction on his face.

"Why are you still treating this differently? You're so distant when you come to me?"

Liu Renli was stunned and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had called that before, so he still couldn't forget the etiquette he should have.

Zhou Heng quickly took photos of Zhu Yunmo, "The prince is the prince, our brother is our brother, Brother Liu, please don't pay attention to him and invite him in."

As he said that, he pulled Liu Renli's arm up and led him directly to the hall. Liu Xiu'er and Su Xiaoxiao had dinner and went to wash up. He also quickly came down when he heard the sound. Seeing Liu Renli's appearance, Liu Xiu'er almost cried.

"Brother, why are you so ugly? You are so thin. I don't dare to admit it when you walk on the road. Is it because you are not feeling well?"

Liu Renli patted the worried Liu Xiu'er and signaled that there were so many outsiders here, so he should not be so worried.

"Okay, don't worry about my health being good. But now I'm patrolling the fields everywhere every day. I need to walk a lot, and the wind and sun are exposed to it, so how can I not be dark?"

Liu Xiu'er refused to do it and insisted that Zhou Heng take Liu Renli's pulse. Zhou Heng knew what Xiu'er was worried about. After all, Liu Renli looked at least ten years older than half a year ago, just like a little old man.

Zhou Heng quickly stepped forward, held Liu Renli's wrist and checked the pulse. Not to mention that the pulse was really not very good, but it was not appropriate to talk about it at this time, so I would like to talk about it privately.

Zhou Heng was also very touched when he looked down at Liu Renli's hand. One of the hands was hidden inside the sleeves and was forced to pull out by Zhou Heng. Only then could he see that there were all large and small holes, cracked and scratched, the lines were covered with black soil, and his nails seemed to be cleaned.

Zhou Heng knew that he was personally involved in the planting, so that he could do so.

A magistrate and the emperor ordered him to be promoted from an unknown small county to the suburbs of Beijing. This honor did not make Liu Renli proud, but instead put pressure on him.

He was a down-to-earth person and was very persistent. The promotion of the cultivation of gold potatoes and corn in the whole county was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. The gentry and the execution capabilities of each county needed him to coordinate.

Liu Renli is not a smart person. What he is best at is running all the way to the black. In fact, such grassroots jobs are most suitable for him because they are very specific and have clear goals. They also give him enough rights and various support, which allows him to show off his strengths.

Zhou Heng put down Liu Renli's wrist and smiled at Xiu'er and said:

"Okay, don't worry. Brother Liu is in good health, better than when he was in Qingping County. He only needs to touch water and soil for a long time, just clean it carefully for ten days and half a month. As for the sun on his face, Xiu'er can make a cool hat to protect the sun."

Xiu'er nodded quickly when she heard this, but Liu Renli stopped him and said:

"No need to be so troublesome. I have straw hats, but this bun is uncomfortable with a straw hat. I always bend down and pick it up again and again, which is very troublesome, so I simply don't wear it!"

Zhou Heng smiled and saw that Xiu'er was about to get angry, he quickly comforted her:

"I have a way to do this, just make a bun with one on my hair!"

As he said that, he hooked his fingers to Xiu'er. Xiu'er understood that Zhou Heng wanted paper and pen, so he quickly handed it over. Seeing Liu Renli, he was both angry and distressed.

Zhou Heng drew a hollow disc hat with only a few strokes, with two streamers hanging down on it. Xiu'er's needlework was very good, but she just took a look and realized it.

"This is to remove the top of the hat, put the bun on directly, tie the ribbon on the jaw, so it will not easily slide down with the movement. My brother thinks the straw hat is thick, so I use black silk cloth to look calm and solemn. Wait for me to do it now, and it will be fine for a moment."

After saying that, without waiting for their reactions, he pulled Su Xiaoxiao and left directly. Liu Renli smiled and kept shaking his head.

"This girl is now the county lord, and she still has wind and showers. If she is the same in the empress dowager and the palace, wouldn't she have to cause trouble? You have to watch her."

Zhou Heng smiled and delivered the teacup to Liu Renli.

"Brother Liu, don't worry. Xiu'er understands everything in her heart. She just hasn't seen you for a long time. She misses your body very much. Seeing you so thin and old, she is naturally worried. She has a good temper on weekdays!"

Liu Renli was still relieved when he saw Zhou Heng's reaction. He knew that Zhou Heng was very dedicated to taking care of Xiu'er, but he was a little worse than himself.
