Zhang Zhen once again stood in Wu County's study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu County Ling's study usually few people come in, as the nominal lord of a county in Tongyu City, outside the yamen is the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, even in the yamen he is everywhere elbowed, very aggrieved, and only the rest of this study can really be called his own territory. Therefore, he takes it very seriously, and usually does not let others or even his own servants enter or leave.

When Zhang Zhen came to discuss things with him with a serious attitude, he brought him into the study for the first time, which made the servants in the backyard of the county government who were familiar with the temper of the county lord a little surprised, and they all speculated about the relationship between Zhang Zhen and the county lord. The first time Zhang Zhen came to the county government was brought by Wu Xiaoran, and he bizarrely entered Wu Xiaoran's small courtyard where male dogs couldn't enter, plus Master Wu attached so much importance to it.

Young men and women were just in time, and after the addition of a few old grandmothers, the rumor that Zhang Zhen was going to become the son-in-law of Old Man Wu spread in the backyard of the county government.

Of course, Wu Xianling didn't have so many messy thoughts in his mind, and he brought Zhang Zhen into the study because Zhang Zhen had a holiday with Fan Meng, and it was not safe to talk elsewhere. Moreover, the strange red pupils that Zhang Zhen once showed always made him fearful, and he paid attention to fear.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me this time?" Wu Xian Ling said with some seriousness.

"I want to be an official." Zhang Zhen got straight to the point.

Wu Xianling was stunned, looked at Zhang Zhen with a strange look for a while, and then laughed and said, "Oh? Officer? Why do you suddenly want to be an official? ”

Zhang Zhen said very seriously: "Fan Meng is rampant in the township, and he will do all kinds of evil, and I will correct him." ”

Wu Xianling laughed loudly, and when the laughter stopped, he said in the tone of the elders educating the children: "Young man, you have the heart to serve the court and contribute to the country, and your heart is commendable." But the appointment and dismissal of officials in the imperial court has a system and regulations, and you can't say that you want to be an official and give you an official to let you be, otherwise wouldn't everyone in the world be an official, who is a businessman? Who governs production? Isn't it a mess? He laughed twice as he spoke, and then said, "To tell you two more truthful words, even if you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, you have to pay money." You run over and open your mouth to be an official...... In my opinion, you should go back to your business. ”

Zhang Zhen quietly waited for Wu County Order to finish speaking, and didn't care about the mockery in his tone, and said lightly: "I did the matter of the Black Tiger Gang compound in the east of the city, is this enough to be an official?" ”

"The Black Tiger Gang compound?" The smile on Wu Xianling's face disappeared, he frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What happened to the Black Tiger Gang compound?" ”

This time it was Zhang Zhen's turn to be a little surprised, after all, several people in the Black Tiger Gang were seriously injured, and it should have spread a long time ago, could it be that Fan Meng deliberately concealed the matter? Why did he do this?

Afraid that you will come to the door again to seek revenge? Or do you want to do something behind your back?

When Zhang Zhen was pondering, Wu Xianling asked again: "What happened to the Black Tiger Gang compound?" ”

"A few people died." Zhang Zhen said.

Although he had some reason at that time and didn't kill him, he knew his strength, and those people were not much worse if they didn't die. I say this just to be more convincing.

Wu Xianling's body was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the pair of red demonic pupils, and blurted out, "You...... Killed the Black Tiger Gang? ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Yes, and I can still stand in front of you alive now, can I be an official in Tongyu City based on this alone?" ”

Wu Xianling stared at Zhang Zhen for a while, a little suspicious, and said, "Seeing is believing." ”

Zhang Zhen patrolled around the study, took two steps forward, stopped at Wu Xianling's desk, took a hardwood brush from the pen holder and held it in his hand, his wrist flicked, the pen was broken, and the whole pen barrel was inserted into the desk table, and it was submerged into the pen crown.

Wu Xianling's eyes widened in horror, and he pinched the crown of the brush in disbelief and shook it, but the crown of the pen did not move at all. Only then did he look at Zhang Zhen with admiration, and said in surprise: "With such skills, if you only want to deal with Fan Meng, you don't need to be an official, right?" ”

Zhang Zhen said: "I am a noodle shop, and I want to open a noodle shop in a quiet and bright way in the future, and I don't want to do illegal and criminal acts that kill my life." ”

Wu Xianling pondered for a moment, slapped the table and stood up, and said categorically: "Catch the head." The highest official I can give you is the head catcher, and the next is the order official, which needs to be appointed by the imperial court, and I don't have that power. But don't worry, in Tongyu City, as long as you have the ability to manage it, I will leave it to you and will never interfere with you. But the ugly words are ahead, you want to use your official identity to deal with the Black Tiger Gang, I will give you this opportunity, but if the matter is messed up, you will have to bear the consequences by yourself, maybe I will fall into the well, and then you don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. ”

Zhang Zhen smiled and nodded: "This is natural." ”

Wu Xian Ling said loudly: "Okay! That's it! I will immediately order someone to prepare a set of official uniforms, and you can take office at any time. ”

――――――――――――――――

When Wu Xiaoran opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was a generous and gentle face, he smiled at her, revealing a few white teeth, and at the same time stretched out his hand to help her smooth the long hair scattered on his forehead: "Wake up." ”

"Hmm." Wu Xiaoran nodded lightly and let out a murmuring nasal sound.

This girl, who has always been cold-spoken and prickly, has become strangely docile at this moment, grabbing the quilt with both hands to cover her mouth like a well-behaved kitten, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, looking at Zhang Zhen without blinking, her eyes are full of tenderness.

The morning sun shone in through the window, shining on Zhang Zhen and Wu Xiaoran's bed, and a wren stopped on the plum tree in the yard, jumping back and forth between the branches like a fairy, chirping loudly.

Wu Xiaoran watched and listened greedily, and suddenly felt that the world that he had always hated and hated was actually so beautiful.

Although the crossbow arrow in the alley did not touch her heart, it pierced her chest after all, and the injury was extremely serious. At that time, she was dizzy, and she wanted to open her eyes, but she felt that her eyelids were so heavy that she felt like she had fallen into a bottomless quagmire, and she kept falling, and she kept falling. I want to shout, but my voice can't make a sound, I want to struggle, but my hands and feet don't listen.

I'm going to die, right? She thought. How can you not die if you are so badly injured?

If you're dead, you're dead, or that's fine. She was full of hatred for the world, she hated her father, hated his snobbery, hated his kindness, she also hated her mother a little, hated her kindness and weakness.

Dead...... It's also a relief.

As her surroundings faded into nothingness and her vision faded into darkness, she felt her sinking body lean against a solid chest, and then two strong arms lifted herself.

Then she heard her name called, again and again, so anxious that she wanted to answer, but her throat was choked, and only tears flowed down her face. She tried her best to open her eyes, and a face of anxiety and concern appeared in her hazy vision, and she looked at it attentively, deeply touched.

Now, she's alive and he's here, it's good.

"How does it feel? Thirsty? Do you want to drink water? Zhang Zhen asked with a smile.

"Thirsty." Wu Xiaoran nodded. In fact, she didn't feel thirsty, she just wanted to experience what it was like to be taken care of by him.

Zhang Zhen turned around and poured a glass of water from the teapot on the table, but the pot had made tea in advance. Wu Xiaoran hadn't eaten since he was injured, and drinking tea on an empty stomach was afraid that he would have a cold stomach, so Zhang Zhen found someone to change the pot of warm boiled water.

When Zhang Zhen walked to the side of the bed with the cup, he saw that Wu Xiaoran was trying to stand up and look at him stupidly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be unconscious.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, put the cup in his hand on the side of the bed, took the spare quilt and put it behind her back, and then brought the cup to her mouth.

Wu Xiaoran obediently followed Zhang Zhen's movements, and when he sent the cup over, she took a shallow sip and signaled that she wouldn't drink it, but her eyes kept stopping on Zhang Zhen's face.

Zhang Zhen put down the cup, looked at Wu Xiaoran, smiled, and said, "You look good when you smile, you should smile more." ”

"Really?" Wu Xiaoran was still a little weak, and when she heard this, her eyes brightened a little more.

"Really." Zhang Zhen said.

"Then I'll laugh more and show you more in the future, okay?" Wu Xiaoran said affectionately, and the demeanor of the youngest daughter was fully revealed.

Zhang Zhen is no longer an elm pimple who has never had an affair, and he also feels that something is wrong, he is just grateful to Wu Xiaoran, but he has nothing else to think about, he misses Xue Qi even more in his heart, and he has regarded that gentle girl as his future wife.

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Zhang Zhen does not have much ambition in this regard.

In this situation, he chose to remain silent.

Wu Xiaoran probably also saw Zhang Zhen's unnaturalness, the light in her eyes dimmed, and the body that was originally slightly leaning towards Zhang Zhen also lay back on the quilt and stopped talking.

There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

After a while, Zhang Zhen got up and wanted to say goodbye, but Wu Xiaoran seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "By the way, you still owe me an explanation." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zhen looked at Wu Xiaoran with some confusion.

Wu Xiaoran said: "Kung Fu! Your kung fu. I originally thought that you didn't know martial arts, since you are so powerful, why do you have to give Fan Meng ...... Why suffer from that anger? ”

Zhang Zhen thought about it, took a breath, smiled slightly bitterly, and said, "This is a long story, I don't know where to start." ”

Wu Xiaoran patted the edge of the bed, motioned for Zhang Zhen to sit down, and insisted very stubbornly: "If it's a long story, let's talk slowly, anyway, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Zhang Zhen sat down a little helplessly, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Wu Xiaoran, and said, "When I was in my noodle restaurant, you once told me a story, and now, I'll tell you one too." ”

"Hmm!" Wu Xiaoran looked very interested and nodded vigorously.
