72. Lawsuits
At this time, the sky was just getting dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Cheng Linghui jumped out of the car and looked around.
Shen Cong's family is wide, and it is not difficult to guess that his family background is good. I just don't know what I do for a living.
Shen Cong and Deng Ku didn't know how to come back from that road, and they came back earlier than Cheng Linghui and Zhao Qiao in the car. At this time, he was waiting at the door.
Shen Cong led a few people into a study room. What Cheng Linghui didn't expect was that Shen Cong, who was not smiling, had a large collection of books at home, which was amazing. The two large rooms were full of bookshelves that reached to the roof, and were filled with books. It is roughly estimated that there are no less than 10,000 copies.
Deng Ku noticed Cheng Linghui's exclamation, and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't blame me for being a brother who laughs at you, you are too ignorant." What are these books, Shen Cong has a lot of good things. The scrolls are the only ones that have it all. ”
Cheng Linghui looked at Shen Cong in disbelief, Shen Cong was still expressionless, busy preparing tea and snacks.
Zhao Qiao said: "Second Brother Deng is not exaggerating. Brother Shen's family has been running a study for generations, and it is normal to have more classics. And ......" He saw that Shen Cong didn't mean to stop him, and then said: "Brother Shen's ancestor is the captain of the Golden School, and some solitary ancient scrolls are really nothing. ”
Cheng Linghui heard the fifth master say the allusion of 'touching the gold captain', and knew that what he said was good, but it was actually a tomb robber. In this way, it is not unusual for Shen Cong to have a lone ancient scroll.
Shen Cong had already arranged the tea and snacks, and several people sat around drinking tea and eating snacks. Discuss disaster relief and the account book.
There is a saying that one person counts short, two people count long, and three people are Zhuge Liang.
Now that the four of them are together, there are more ways. Cheng Linghui, who was originally black-eyed, also had some ideas at the moment.
It has been several days since Chang Jiwen fell into the water and disappeared. Although the prince's guard of honor walked slowly, it was estimated that he was almost in a certain south. Cheng Linghui must confirm her identity as a chaplain before the arrival of the prince. Otherwise, as soon as the prince arrives, it will be difficult for her to personally investigate the reason why Chang Jiwen fell into the water.
Zhao Qiao also felt that Qin Cha could not show up for a long time at this time, which was very inseparable from appeasing the people. So, as soon as the four of them were combined, they decided to immediately set off for the Luohe estuary and the post house where Qin Cha stayed.
After the four of them finished discussing, they didn't see Yanjing come back. asked Shen Cong to look for it, and by the way, he asked Quansheng to take Cheng Linghui's bags to the county seat to exchange money.
Here, Cheng Linghui, Deng Ku and Zhao Qiao came out of Shen Cong's house. Zhao Qiao sent back the old family who was driving the car. Deng Ku jumped into the car and pretended to be a coachman. Cheng Linghui and Zhao Qiao are still in the car. All the way to the outside of the county.
The three of them waited outside the county for two hours before they saw Shen Cong rushing with his whole life, and Yan Jing followed closely behind him, with a wound on his face that was still oozing blood. The tunic was also torn, revealing the bandages tied around the arms.
When the three of them got closer, Yan Jing got into the carriage, lowered his head and got into the car, urging: "Second brother, go quickly." ”
Seeing this, Deng Ku hurriedly urged the car to the road. Shen Cong stuffed a burden into the car: "Third child, your salute." After speaking, he put his whole life on his shoulders and turned to the side path.
Quansheng shouted, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
Shen Cong shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, the master will take you on the path." ”
Zhao Qiao's carriage is set with a tall horse. The carriage ran briskly and smoothly. In a short time, he ran twenty or thirty miles. Cheng Linghui looked at Yan Jing's embarrassed appearance and asked, "What happened?" ”
Yan Jing took a sip: "Don't mention it, bad luck." There must be something strange in that account book, otherwise Wang Laocai would not have rummaged and bitten like a mad dog. actually invited the people of the Chang'an Dart Bureau, and they also paid a lot of money. ”
Zhao Qiao said: "When will the Chang'an Dart Bureau also take over this arresting business?" ”
Yan Jing said angrily: "People die for money, and birds die for food." As long as they are willing to bleed, there are still those who are unwilling to die? ”
"It's really going down." Zhao Qiao snorted coldly.
Yan Jing said: "Who said it wasn't." Since the old dart head of the Chang'an Dart Bureau passed away, the descendants are becoming more and more unpresentable. It is impossible to say that he has long become the lackey of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. After speaking, I suddenly remembered that Chang Jiwen was also an official. hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you." To tell you the truth, I heard that the imperial court was going to send you to our southern disaster relief, and we really inquired about your personality. Although it's not a big role in being an official, his reputation is still good. ”
As he was talking, Deng Kuan, who was driving the car, said: "It's not good, someone is catching up behind." ”
Yan Jing said: "I'll go out and hide." As he spoke, he was about to get out of the car.
Zhao Qiao grabbed him and said, "You are injured, where can you hide?" As soon as he flipped his hand, the seat he was sitting on was empty.
Yanjing understood, shrunk and drilled in. It's hard for him to be a big man, he is flexible, and he can squeeze in just right. Cheng Linghui felt that if she let herself get in, she would definitely not be able to.
Zhao Qiao put down the lid of the seat and fanned it with his hand: "Second Brother Deng, is there any medicine to cover the smell of blood?" ”
Deng said bitterly: "I was in a hurry, and I was not prepared." ”
Zhao Qiao saw Cheng Linghui at a glance and said, "Third brother, I'm offended." Suddenly, he hugged Cheng Linghui.
Cheng Linghui was shocked, and her backhand was a slap. 'Bang', Zhao Qiao's white face had a red slap print. That is, Zhao Qiao's kung fu is very good, and if he changes Chang Jiwen, this slap will be light if he doesn't beat him into a concussion.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves approached. Deng Ku 'shouted' and restrangled the horse's head. The carriage was forced to stop on the side of the road.
Zhao Qiao put his finger to his lips, made a silent stop, and suddenly lowered his head and bit Cheng Linghui's lips. Cheng Linghui only felt a pain in her lips, and a fishy sweetness spread in her mouth.
She's grown so big, and she's never been so humiliated. If you don't think about it, you have to fight back. Zhao Qiao had already taken precautions, and the two were entangled in the carriage.
The curtain of the car was suddenly raised. Zhao Qiao turned his head sideways and shouted, "What do you see?" Get lost. ”
It was a man about forty years old who picked up the curtain of the car, and when he saw that it was Zhao Qiao in the car, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Zhao Gongzi, how offended." ”
Cheng Linghui knew that there was a danger outside at this time, but she still couldn't help the anger in her chest, and glared angrily at Zhao Qiao, who was close at hand.
She has been imprisoned by Su Tong for more than half a year, and her tanned skin has long since turned white. At this time, the scarlet lips that were bitten by Zhao Qiao were bloodstained, his eyes were round with anger, and his face was flushed. At first glance, it's a bit exciting.
The man lowered the curtain and drove away as Deng Ku urged the car away.
I don't know how long I walked, but the road gradually became difficult to walk. Deng said bitterly: "Not far ahead is the fishing village. ”
Zhao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What about the people from the Chang'an Dart Bureau?" ”
Deng said bitterly: "It's long been left behind." ”
Zhao Qiao said angrily: "Then you didn't say it earlier? But he didn't dare to look at Cheng Linghui's gloomy face. lifted the seat and released Yanjing, who had been holding all the way. Yan Jing moved his legs and feet, and suddenly saw Cheng Linghui's red and swollen lips, and asked, "Third brother, what's wrong with your mouth?" ”
Cheng Linghui turned her head and sat aside silently. Zhao Qiao coughed lowly: "Don't ask." It's all for you anyway. If it weren't for the fact that we had big things to do, this time we would not have competed with the Chang'an Dart Bureau. ”
As he spoke, the carriage had already entered the fisherman's village.
The fishing village lives up to its name. Because it is next to Luoshui Lake, almost every household makes a living by fishing. Therefore, although many houses in the village were washed away by the flood, there were no casualties among the population.
Luoshui Lake is a lake formed by the convergence of a tributary of the Luohe River. Although the Luohe River is flooded every other year or two, it will be diverted every one or two decades, causing the people of a certain south to suffer from floods, but a certain south has not been poor and decayed. On the contrary, it produces a variety of grains and beans, and is known as the granary of the Central Plains.
There is a local proverb in a certain south, called 'xerophytic grasshoppers, waterlogged fish'. It is said that during the flood year, there were fish in a puddle. It's a bit hard for generations of people to make ends meet, but for generations of fishermen, it's food everywhere. Food and clothing are still safe.
Deng Ku was obviously very familiar with the villagers here, and soon got a lot of fish, lit the fire on the spot and began to roast it.
There are few complete houses in the village, and a few people can only find a dry place to rest. At about half of the night, Shen Cong arrived with his whole life.
Further on, we will reach the hardest-hit area, and the carriage can no longer go. The next day, when a few people were on the road, they had to unload the car. Lead the horse. Cheng Linghui and Shen Cong are all good at kung fu, but only teenagers can't do it. He rode on horseback all the way, and the rest walked on foot. This makes the whole life of a small guy sad.
A few people are not slow on their feet. I walked for a day, and arrived at the Luohekou Post House when it was dark.
Following Chang Jiwen's officials, Bing Cao and other cadres all received the order from Shangfeng and stood by in place, waiting for the arrival of a new messenger. Unexpectedly, there was a Chang Jiwen on the way.
Someone immediately jumped out and pointed out that this Chang Jiwen was fake. If you don't want to say anything, you have to do it. It was also Cheng Linghui's luck that he met Shen Cong and Deng Ku by mistake. If she came alone, I am afraid that even if it is genuine, it will be faked.
The two sides fought, but the director of the inn could not sit idly by. But others spoke softly and couldn't be dissuaded, so they hurriedly flew to Luohekou County to report the news. In less than an hour, the Luohe County Commander came with people and horses.
However, he didn't come as fast as Shen Cong and Deng Ku. Several people have already grabbed the leading officials and soldiers and tied them up like zongzi.
The Luohe County Commander was shocked when he saw Cheng Linghui standing in the middle in a Qincha official uniform. After taking a closer look, he realized that the person in front of him was not the Chang Jiwen he had seen, and he suddenly became bold again. Relying on his own large number of people, he shouted: "Dut, a bold fanatic, dare to pretend to be a chincha? ”
As soon as Quan Sheng saw the county order, he couldn't hold his breath and shouted: "Dog, blind your dog's eyes." This is my grandfather. Don't come here yet? ”
When the county commander saw Quansheng, his face suddenly turned pale: "Why are you?" ”
"It's Grandpa." The whole life glared angrily.
At this time, a person walked out of the county order: "How can you prove that you are the real Chang Jiwen, Chang Daren?" ”
Cheng Linghui looked at it with a flash of eyes, and the person who spoke was forty miles away, with a white face and no beard, and was wearing a nine-rank Tongzhi official uniform. Before she could speak, Zhao Qiao said on the side: "It's just someone else, why does Lord Lu ask like this?" Doesn't Lord Lu know my family? "These people are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they don't have official ranks. Now following Cheng Linghui's side, for outsiders, it is the personal companion of Lord Qincha. Therefore, in front of outsiders, Zhao Qiao wanted to call Cheng Linghui 'adult'.
That Tongzhi looked around at the few people around Cheng Linghui, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Qiao, and said with a smile: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the eldest son of the Zhao family in the southern capital." Disrespectful, disrespectful. ”
Zhao Qiao said: "With my family here, Zhao doesn't dare to be disrespectful." ”
That Tongzhi said: "Lu really doesn't know Chang Jiwen very well, Chang Daren." "It's clearly a word.
Cheng Linghui said: "How do you say it? She guessed in her heart that this person was most likely Lu Xiaoxiao's eldest brother. She has been locked up by Su Tong for more than half a year, and she doesn't know anything about the outside world, and she really doesn't know how much contact Chang Jiwen has with the Lu family, so she can't help but feel a little weak.
Lu Gongmei said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't know Master Chang. There is a lawsuit but it is not the real Chang Jiwen, and Chang Daren can't judge. What do you think? ”
Cheng Linghui had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Please come and hear it." ”
Lu Gongmei said: "It was originally a good story in the world for heroes to save beauty, but that hero wants to be a villain who abandons from the beginning to the end, Lord Chang, how do you say this should be judged?" ”
Cheng Linghui's heart moved, and she looked at Lu Gongmei in disbelief. said secretly: "Mo Shijiwen didn't marry Lu Xiaoxiao? Or would I be mistaken, it was not Lu Xiaoxiao who took a fancy to Chang Jiwen but someone else? ”
Lu Gongmei looked at her with a smile, but her eyes were full of resentment.
The county commander said impatiently: "Is there anything bigger than Qin Cha right now?" Lord Lu, don't sell it like this. What is your way to distinguish the true from the fake, hurry up. ”
Lu Gongmei said: "County respect, don't hide it. I really don't know Chang Jiwen, but there is one person I recognize. It's just that it's a girl waiting for the boudoir, and it's really not appropriate to show up. ”
"Say it quickly." Although Chang Jiwen is not the black hand of this county order, after all, something happened within his jurisdiction. If it is found out that there is an inside story, it is not his fault and it is his fault. Therefore, the last thing he wants Chang Jiwen to be alive is now. I originally wanted to cut through the mess with a quick knife, and I surprised him with a hard argument. Who knew that Cheng Linghui brought all the masters, so it didn't matter, so he pressed down the post station first. Now there is another Lu Gongmei, who speaks half of her words and leaves half of it. It would be strange if the county order was happy.
Lu Gongmei looked at Cheng Linghui: "It's not difficult for that girl to come out and identify her." If you are really Chang Jiwen, fulfill your promise immediately and marry that girl. If you are fake, pretending to be an official of the court is a big crime of killing your head. ”
Cheng Linghui gritted his teeth: "Real gold is not afraid of fire." It's just that I already have a wife. ”
Lu Gongmei sneered: "Then what did you do earlier?" After a pause, he said, "It's not difficult. Since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, and they are very usual. The girl was not an unreasonable person. If you're real, you'll marry that girl tonight. As for your original wife, be a queen and a maiden with that girl. Both ends are generally large. ”
Cheng Linghui was inexplicably surprised, although she guessed that the girl might be Lu Xiaoxiao, but she was still a little uneasy: "If you cheat me, you won't be able to." ”
Lu Gongmei gritted her teeth and said: "Unless you are impersonating, otherwise, the girl who turns into gray will recognize you." "After saying that, please close the momentum.
Cheng Linghui stepped forward, followed by Shen Cong, Deng Ku, Zhao Qiao, and Yan Jing. Quansheng finally regained the feeling of being a little girl, and hurriedly led the horse to Cheng Linghui.
Cheng Linghui turned over and got on the horse. The person is heroic, the clothes are purple robes and jade belts, the horse is a high-headed horse, and the end is extraordinary, and the beauty is unique. Yan Jing sighed secretly, Zhao Qiao's eyes unconsciously blurred, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips.
The group left the inn. Shen Cong and the others also got on the horses prepared by the post post. Supported by Cheng Linghui, he went to the county seat at a gallop.
The county seat is very high, so it survived the flood. (To be continued.) )
