On the surface, everything in the city seems to be normal, but undercurrents are surging.

"If a person is hungry and sleepy, and there is a bowl of delicious food next to him, how likely is it that he will tell the truth?" Ye Xiao asked the second brother Nanchen.

"As long as it doesn't involve your life, what you say should be the truth." Nanchen raised a stack of papers in his hand. This was the interrogation that took place in the middle of the night last night.

"How does it compare with the previous day?" Night Owl asked again.

Hei Yi: "Sir, the personal information is the same, but this time they asked about other things, basically pointing out that Xiao Liuxian is Liu Ji's favorite. What's interesting is that when Xiao Liuxian was interrogated, he said the same thing twice."

Night Owl smiled and said: "We will interrogate them again tonight, and we can release them tomorrow to follow the clues. We will give them some porridge today."

Hei Yi: "Sir, we did see the clerk go to Inspector Pang's house last night, why didn't you arrest him?"

Nanchen: "Play a long game to catch a big fish! Someone is watching Pang's line. The Black Team is trying to find out all the six people in the prison."

Hei Yi accepted the instruction and said, "Yes, sir."

Nanchen and Yexiao made work arrangements and rode out to inspect the construction site again. It was no different from usual. They personally went to the site to confirm safety issues and progress, which was enough to show the importance they attached to the construction of the road and temple. Ordinary people did not know their identities, but officials, especially those sent from above, knew that they were the right-hand men of the prince. Therefore, anyone who wanted to know soon knew that the prince's right-hand men inspected the construction site every day, and made their own judgments based on their own standards. They either kept their composure, or discussed with their confidants, or made some small calculations of their own. In short, as long as they moved, they would inevitably leave some clues. This was exactly what Nanchen and Yexiao wanted. After inspecting the construction site today, they deliberately chose a time when there were many people and left the city in a high-profile manner. After making a high-profile journey for a while, they turned around and around to prevent people from following them and could no longer find their traces!

The progress of Shen Wen's factory is encouraging. A simple fence has been built around the designated area. The work will be completed today. When dozens of villagers came to settle accounts with the steward, they also watched the workers building the factory. They asked about the work that was not available, but the steward politely refused, "There are no jobs for the time being. I will tell you later!" Another villager asked about Shen Wen's news, "Has your master married? I have a daughter." The steward looked at him with a smile, "My master's affairs are not something I can talk about. Don't ask too much! Just leave after you get your wages. Don't hang around. Don't cause trouble. I will look for you next time there is work." When the villagers left in groups of three or two, some people looked around unwillingly, hoping to talk to Shen Wen. Master Shen was the template of the top son-in-law in their minds. He was a hot commodity!

Shen Wenzheng took the blueprint and discussed the progress of the construction with the construction master, estimating how long it would take to complete. Master Lu: "Sir, it will take another three days to build all the pillars, and then it will take another five days to build the partition wall, and another five days to build the ceiling, and finally the ground will be compacted and smoothed. For such a large site, it will take twenty days."

Shen Wen: "Okay, I'll add some more people to build artificial houses. We'll build a row of houses along the fence. This way, we can save on walls. The doors will all face inwards, and people will have to go in and out through the gates. They'll have to enter and exit with credentials, which will make management easier."

Master Lu: "You are so talented, your design is very clever, I will cooperate with you! However, we need to prepare the wood and tiles for the roof in advance. The wood needs to be dried and painted with tung oil to make it durable."

Shen Wen: "I'll take care of this. I'll have people cut down trees and prepare tomorrow. Master Lu, you continue to be busy. If you need my cooperation, just tell me and I'll find a way. I also have to find someone to do other things!"

Master Lu smiled and nodded: "Hey, okay!"

Shen Wen thought about asking his second brother to go to the forest behind to cut wood. He didn't know whether his second brother's men had gone into the forest to investigate the situation last time. While thinking, he walked out of the factory gate, but was blocked by five or six villagers who were guarding there.

Shen Wen glanced at the villager who was blocking his way. His dark face was smiling flatteringly, revealing his yellow teeth. He took a step back calmly and asked, "Is there anything wrong, fellow villager?"

Villager: "Sir, I am from Liujia Village, and I would like to invite you to my home."

Shen Wen waved his hand, "No need, I'm busy!"

The village man said, "Sir, there must be time for dinner, right?" The people around him echoed, yes, yes, Liujia Village is not far away, there must be time for a meal.

Shen Wen was unmoved. "No need to eat. Tell me the truth. What's the matter?"

Villager: "Uh, I want my daughter to meet you!"

Shen Wen said coldly: "No need!" Then he turned around and went back to the factory. Being entangled by others is annoying. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to bring up his wife and slap her in the face. Humph, what kind of people are you? How dare you dream of thinking about this young master.

"Hey, young master! I'm doing this for your own good!" The villagers tried to stop him. Although Shen Wen was angry, he didn't want to attack ordinary villagers. He dodged and jumped several feet away. "No need to bother, send me away!" Several villagers were stunned by his bold move, and they also realized that he was not someone they could afford to offend, so they left unwillingly!

Shen Wen turned around and went to the work shed to instruct several managers on their work tasks, and emphasized that the factory would be put into use in a month at most, and the assessment and training of garment masters and apprentices could be carried out in the city. He was slightly unhappy about being disturbed, and he missed his wife and had no intention of staying in the factory, so he went home early, which was quite rare.

Shen Wen unexpectedly met Nanchen who came home early at the doorstep. He saw his second brother was about to enter the house with a small hand-pushed millstone in his arms. Such a small hand-pushed millstone?

"Prepared for my wife?" Shen Wen asked.

Nanchen said with a smile: "Yeah, my wife wants to use it to make soy milk, so I specially picked a small one and put it on the table!"

The two of them entered the yard one after the other. The house was quiet. They entered the backyard together. It was still quiet. Could it be that he was with the fourth child? Shen Wen opened the backyard door and went to Huaheng's yard and shouted, "Wife?"

After a while, Hua Heng came out with the pestle in his hand. "Fourth brother, you're coming home so early today?"

Shen Wen nodded: "My second brother is back too, where's my wife?"

Hua Heng smiled and said, "My wife is in Xiaoyao Garden. Would you like to come in and have some tea?"

Shen Wen: "Okay, I'll call my second brother to come along. We haven't had tea together for a long time."

When the three of them were seated, Hua Heng unexpectedly dropped the news that Lady Ye Xiao was pregnant.

Nanchen and Shen Wen both found it incredible. The third brother had a baby? The news that the old bachelor, who had a deep friendship with him, suddenly had a baby was a big shock. They were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses. "What about our wife?..." Both of them looked at Hua Heng with expectation.

Hua Heng shook his head and looked at the second and fourth brothers who looked a little disappointed. He slowly said: "I'm not looking forward to the arrival of the little one. I don't have a throne to inherit like my eldest brother!" He was in the stage of being affectionate with his wife and didn't want to be disturbed.

Shen Wen: "Just let it happen naturally, right? Whether you expect it or not, it will come!"

Nanchen also said: "I'm not looking forward to it that much, I still want to be more affectionate with my wife!"

Hua Heng smiled secretly and asked another question: "The younger ones of the eldest and the third brother haven't been promoted yet. Our wives still love us the most!" Seeing Nanchen and Shen Wen's surprised faces, he said seriously: "If we have a baby, will we be able to tell whose it is? This is a problem. I have thought of it and must raise it, otherwise it will arouse suspicion in the future and my wives will be unhappy!" After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into deep thought. Yes, they had never thought about this problem before. They felt fulfilled with their wives and had never thought about the baby.

After a moment, "I haven't thought about the little guy, but I don't want to be separated from my wife," Nanchen said in a deep voice.

Shen Wen also followed suit and said: "I don't want to separate either!"

Hua Heng: "I don't want to either! Whoever the kid is doesn't affect my being the third father!"

The communication between the men was simple and direct, and they reached a consensus. They nodded in agreement and stood up to pick up their wives together!
