In Yanzhou Mansion, Yu Yalan, who was pregnant with Liujia, was handling official business in the study.

It has been some time since Song Xi led the army on the expedition, and she and her brother have been busy stabilizing internal affairs and providing logistical support.

The northwest has not relaxed its alert status since last year. Now even if the war breaks out again, it will not cause turmoil or chaos. The eight puppets have been able to take charge of their own affairs, so no matter how heavy the matter is, there are still people to share the worries and solve the problems for her.

Xiaotuanzi also knows that his parents are busy and hard-working, so he always stays by his mother's side and is obedient. He completes his daily homework on time and stays within the safety of the villa as much as possible when having fun and resting.

Occasionally, he does small things within his power, such as serving tea or reminding the time. The two-and-a-half-year-old Xiaotuanzi is very sensible and works hard to take care of his hard-working mother. He also secretly makes a wish to grow up quickly and provide for his parents.

Share the hard work and responsibility.

Yu Yalan felt very sorry for her son, feeling a little relieved but also a little tangled in her heart.

Sometimes I feel that the eldest son and grandson need to shoulder the important responsibilities of the family, and that being wise and steady at an early age will be more conducive to future growth. Sometimes I am afraid that a poor sense of proportion will cause the seedlings to grow and deprive the children of the happiness and childhood they deserve.

Xiao Song Yu didn't know his mother's worries. As soon as the time came, he ordered someone to bring milk and snacks to the study. His mother, who was pregnant with the baby, was prone to hunger. If he hadn't taken the initiative to remind her, her mother would have stayed hungry until the end of the day.

Have dinner before dinner.

My uncle said that starving a pregnant woman would be bad for her health, so he had to complete the task of supervising her mother.

"Mom, let's have some snacks. Today there are strawberry cakes and fragrant and soft egg tarts!"

Xiaotuanzi came close to his mother and looked at her with bright, bright eyes.

Yu Yalan put down the paperwork in her hand, touched her son's head, and said with a smile: "Yu'er and mother, let's eat together. Have you finished your homework? Do you feel tired?"

Xiaotuanzi shook his head and replied confidently and calmly: "You're not tired. Thousand-character essay and arithmetic are very simple. You can learn multiplication and division tomorrow. Mother is just tired. She's sweating on her forehead."

The fat little man took out the brocade handkerchief from his pocket and stood on tiptoes to wipe his mother's sweat.

Yu Yalan was also happy to enjoy her son's filial piety and lowered her head in cooperation.

"Yu'er is so good. Thank you for wiping my mother's sweat. After eating snacks later, you can go play in the courtyard. My mother will go find you after finishing the things at hand."

Xiaotuanzi nodded after receiving the praise, with a bright smile on his cute little face.

Mother and son enjoyed afternoon tea affectionately, chatting about little things in life.

The atmosphere in the study was harmonious and warm, with several spiritual pets playing and playing nearby.

The short afternoon tea passed quickly, and Yu Yalan, who had eaten and drank enough, returned to her official duties.

"Master, I have something urgent to report!"

Mu Yang walked in hurriedly, with a bit of solemnity on his always calm and steady face.

"The farmland in Qianzhou suddenly suffered a large-scale man-made fire. Most of the local rice seedlings and farmhouses were burned down. The granaries in more than a dozen villages were either stolen or caught on fire. Many people were panicked and crying, and they were at a loss.

"

"The local county government has begun an investigation, but no useful clues have been found so far. Some villagers did not know who was bewitched by them, and they actually started to attack the county government in anger! Several county officials were attacked when they were out on business. After the attack, he is now lying in the hospital for treatment with his life and death unknown. After the government officials arrested the perpetrator, many villagers formed gangs and wanted to violently rob the prison!"

"According to the latest reports, the Qianzhou Guard is preparing to send troops to clear the public order and control all those who instigated the riots. Unfortunately, the interrogation and investigation have not made much progress, and the perpetrators of the attack on the county magistrate are unwilling to tell the truth."

The geographical location of Qianzhou is quite special, it happens to be at the junction of Qinxi and the Three Jin Dynasties. Song Xi had previously carried out an operation to clear out hidden stakes in the northwest, and the entire Qinxi was actually impregnable.

Since the Three Jin Dynasties had just changed hands, the area was not involved in the suppression campaign. In addition, the area was in dire need of reconstruction and construction, so it was inevitable that people coming and going would be mixed.

Some spies who were forced to evacuate the northwest stayed here temporarily, paying attention to the movements in the northwest while looking for suitable opportunities to cause trouble.

The Qianzhou fire should be caused by these people, but it is not clear who is the main force behind it?

Yu Yalan pressed her brows with a displeased expression, and asked patiently and carefully about the relevant details.

After sitting in an armchair and thinking about it for half a minute, she came up with a proper and comprehensive solution.

"Let Hanshan go to the government office in person later to explain the situation in Qianzhou to his sworn brother, and then transfer 60,000 jins of high-yielding grains and 500,000 jins of grain from Qinxi's granary, and he will personally lead the troops to escort them Go to Qianzhou and cooperate with the local county government to distribute it to the injured people."

"Amber also accompanied him to help the local police catch the thieves and spies who were causing trouble. After that, he stayed in Sanjin for a while and officially launched the crackdown operation that had not been carried out in time. The arrested suspects were all interrogated with the truth pill, and some Please report to me any situation at any time."

After saying that, he walked outside the door with a big belly, and released ten space wolf dogs with a wave of his hand.

"Since the other party was able to set fires on a large scale in a short period of time, and then wiped away the traces and disappeared without a trace afterwards, it shows that the mastermind is a shrewd and cautious person who is good at planning. If you want to find out the truth, you will have to take some extraordinary measures. These Wolf dogs have a keen sense of smell and strong combat power, and any slight abnormality will not escape their noses. Hanshan and Amber will take them with them to handle the case when they arrive, and they should be able to get twice the result with half the effort when investigating the real culprit."

Seeing this, Mu Yang felt relieved. He cupped his fists and accepted the order: "My master is wise! I will arrange the tasks now."

Yu Yalan narrowed her eyes and was silent for a while, stopped the people who were leaving, and added a few words: "I remind Hanshan and Hubo to kill chickens to scare monkeys when necessary. Betrayal and deception are not tolerated under the rule of Liuhe Villa. Anyone who dares to provoke the Song family will bear the consequences." ! The Qianzhou incident has already taken the form of a civil uprising. The people behind it must have a big conspiracy. The real culprit behind the scenes must be found out. I will not allow unknown powerful enemies to cause trouble in secret!"

Mu Yang's expression froze when he heard this, and he agreed respectfully and cautiously. He turned around and walked straight out of the hospital, preparing to raise the urgency of the situation to the highest level.

This was the first time he saw his master showing such an expression. It seemed that the enemy this time was indeed extraordinary. Both Hanshan and Amber were used to encountering an enemy rarely, and they had to emphasize it repeatedly to make them take it seriously.

Yu Yalan looked at the evening sky and walked towards the small garden in the courtyard. It was already approaching dinner time and she had to fulfill her promise and return to the main courtyard with her son.

Putting other things aside for the time being, I have to strengthen my son's protection starting today.
Chapter completed!
