Lin Junting came to Shicheng with a strange mood.

As soon as you enter the twenty-mile radius around Shicheng, you can feel the difference.

The snow on the road was cleared cleanly, and everyone in the death-seeking army couldn't help but be surprised.

They walked along a road of more than a hundred miles, and only here in Shicheng, someone cleared the road.

Gu Zhao explained, "These roads are all assigned to the post station. If you perform well, you will be rewarded with money and even promoted. If there is a problem with the road under your jurisdiction, everyone in the post station will also be punished."

In terms of specific aspects, there are more detailed terms.

This was also a rule that Gu Zhao had already implemented when he was the county captain.

Lin Junting looked at Gu Zhao thoughtfully, "Ah Zhao, now I really feel that being a county magistrate is an underachievement for you."

Gu Zhao said that the reason why she chose Shicheng was because her grandmother chose Shicheng.

Gu Zhao said that his grandmother has been operating in Shicheng for many years and has extended her tentacles to every corner of Shicheng. She is the actual owner of Shicheng.

Lin Junting thought that the reason why Gu Zhao became the magistrate of Shicheng County was because of his grandmother's favor.

But now it seems that in addition to solving cases, Gu Zhao also has political talents.

Gu Zhao smiled and said nothing. When she was the princess, she learned how to govern the entire country. At that time, she had to use Qin Youjin as a cover to do whatever she wanted to do. But now in Shicheng, she can show her ambitions.

This is also the reason why she doesn't want to be a housewife.

As soon as Gu Zhao and his party arrived at the gate of Shicheng, there was already a butler waiting at the roadside with a carriage.

"My eldest son." After the housekeeper greeted Gu Zhao, he also saluted Lin Junting and said very respectfully, "The old lady is already waiting at home."

Lin Junting's surprise disappeared in a flash.

If grandma was really as amazing as Gu Zhao said, with many ears and eyes, knowing about his arrival would be nothing at all.

When Lin Junting followed Gu Zhao and the housekeeper into the He family mansion, and saw He Zheng in the main room of the house, Lin Junting felt like he was struck by lightning.

All those lost memories suddenly came back to his mind.

The face of the woman who held him when he was a child, whose face was blurred in his memory, is all clear now.

It's exactly what the old lady sitting on the main seat looks like!

His grandmother is really still alive, and compared to the face he saw when he was a child, there are only a few more shallow wrinkles.

Lin Junting took two steps forward. Before he could reach He Zheng, he already knelt on his knees and kowtowed vigorously before the maid could bring him the futon.

Just listening to the sound of his knees and forehead hitting the ground, you can know that Lin Junting was not hiding anything and really used his strength.

"Unfilial grandson Lin Junting comes to see his grandmother!"

At that time, he didn't want to practice martial arts, he just wanted to sleep and play. When his mother and grandmother were crying, he felt a little secretly happy in his heart.

But he never thought about how his grandmother was feeling at that time.

Grandma decided to fake her death and leave Duke Li's mansion, and he also had a share of the responsibility!

He Zheng seemed a little surprised: "Ah Zhao, why don't you help your brother up quickly?"

When Lin Junting stood up, his forehead was still red.

He Zheng said helplessly, "Why is this silly kid so honest? What are you doing with so much effort?"

She waved and asked Lin Junting to sit next to her on the Arhat bed. She looked at his forehead carefully and sighed, "Bring some medicine."

Mammy got a jar of ointment, and He Zheng took it upon himself to apply a layer of ointment carefully on Lin Junting's forehead.

"Why do you think you, this kid, can't get along with me? Are you feeling dizzy?"

Lin Junting felt her grandmother's care and closeness, and the anxiety and shame in her heart finally diminished.

"Grandma, I never knew that you lived in seclusion in Shicheng. Otherwise, I should have come to fulfill my filial piety." Lin Junting said with shame, "I was ignorant before and made you angry. You can beat me."

He Zheng laughed and hugged Lin Junting, who was much taller than her. "My dear grandson, why should I hit you?"

Lin Junting lowered his head, "When I was a child, you obviously had good intentions and wanted to help me practice martial arts to build the basics, but I didn't know what to do. I was either lazy or lost my temper, and I let you down."

He Zheng laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, okay." She patted Lin Junting's shoulder gently, "You have grown up, become sensible, know right from wrong, and know how to change your ways, you are a good man."

"Much better than your father."

When Lin Junting heard these words, he couldn't help but raise his head.

He had not heard news about Lin Weikang for a long time.

At that time, when the officers and soldiers went to the Duke Li's Mansion to raid the house, the charge given was that Lin Weikang conspired to rebel and led his troops to besiege the Zheng Emperor. This crime was actually enough to implicate the nine tribes, and the masters of the Duke Li's Mansion were even charged with death.

.

Gu Zhao asked someone to deliver the news to him, and Lin Junting escaped this disaster.

But what happened to Lin Weikang and his wife, and what happened to his brothers and sisters? Lin Junting was in northern Xinjiang, but it was difficult to find out.

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, He Zheng raised his hand, and a nun next to him stepped forward and told in detail what happened after the Duke Li's Mansion.

Lin Weikang was taken away by He Zheng, and Zhang Wan and other women and children were exiled to the northwest.

Aunt Jiang took her children and escaped early.
