Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Tsundere County Lord
At the beginning of the day, Qin Ran stood under a big tree in the backyard of the county government, and she stared at the hidden dog hole behind the tree, thoughtful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What Yun'er and the stone said is true, and the auspiciousness of Zheng Han hiding under the bed and sleeping is also found, Qin Ran is sure that everything should be written, directed and acted by Zheng Han, but why did he leave the county government at night, where did he plan to go, and where did he end up?
"If I were him." It's really hard to figure out a child's way of thinking from his own position, so Qin Ran assumed that she was Zheng Han.
Sun Li is the daughter of Yangzhou Thorn Shishu, the family education is not low, and there are many rules that fall on Zheng Han, Zheng Chao Sun Li pampers the only flesh and blood, but the strict place must be inevitable, Zheng Han has written a good hand since he was a child, learned the master's teaching, and the number of times he goes to the street to play will not exceed ten times a year, which makes the little guy have a strong curiosity about the outside world, and always loves to sneak up on the street to play, he likes to go to the East Bridge to see the master pinching clay figures, he likes to spend a few copper coins to play rings, he prefers to eat the wine stuffed balls and sugar gourds sold by the old man Cao......
"Sugar gourd." Thinking of the sugar gourd, Qin Ran immediately remembered the location of Old Man Cao and Kui Xinglou in his mind, and his footsteps had unconsciously moved over there.
Yesterday, Zheng Han had only been to Kuixing Tower, and the reason why he went out again was probably related to this, and Old Man Cao was near Kuixing Tower.
"Lao Cao, around midnight last night, did Zheng Han come to buy sugar gourds?" Because Old Man Cao's family lives in the alley around the corner of this street, and the street where Kuixing Tower is located is particularly lively, Old Man Cao often waits until the street is almost empty before closing the stall and going home.
"Zheng Han?" Old man Cao couldn't help scratching his head, there were a lot of children who came to buy sugar gourds, where did he know who was who, and then glanced at Qin Ran, who had a serious face, and suddenly remembered that there was a boy who had been to his stall with Qin Zhutou last year, and it was the child who bought the last string of sugar gourds when he closed the stall last night. "Is that the tall, blue-shirted boy?"
Qin Ran nodded, it seemed that he had really been here, but the clues he got from continuing to ask were only for him.
Moved her steps and walked towards Kuixing Tower, about to reach Kuixing Tower, a whistle sounded in her ears, and when she looked up, she saw someone looking at the railing, the two looked at each other, and the person's cold eyes heated up in vain.
Song Tian instantly held the guardrail with his hand and jumped down to fly.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Qin Ran saw him, she remembered what happened in the morning, her ears were a little hot, and she turned her face away from him.
"What do you think?" Every subtle reaction of her fell in his eyes, and she felt full of fun, and Song Tian instantly leaned in and asked.
"What's the progress?" Qin Ran pushed him away, but as soon as her hand touched someone's strong chest, her heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and she withdrew her hand like a hot hand.
Before the topic just now was finished, his sentence 'Where are you and where am I' didn't speak, Qin Ran jumped directly to the next topic, although Song Tianyan knew that her eyes were all related to Zheng Han at this time.
"Ugh." Song Tian sighed instantly, smiling helplessly, I don't know when she will have her mind full of him. "Last night, someone saw a boy appear at the entrance of the alley, and I can't be sure it's him."
Hearing this, Qin Ran walked along the alley where his finger pointed, the alley was not deep, and the street at the other end of the alley could be seen at a glance, and there were no homes on the left and right sides of the alley.
"If it's him......" Bowing her head, she observed the environment at the entrance of the alley, the loess compacted ground, the thick walls of the ramparts, and the corners of the walls with some debris, and watched her squat down.
"The man saw the boy get into an ordinary—" Song Tianxian followed behind her, and before he finished his words, she had already guessed.
"Carriage." The alley should be a shortcut, sometimes a place for hawkers to stay, sometimes a shortcut for carriages and sedan chairs, and there are obviously a few traces on the ground that have been pressed out all year round. "There's car marks here."
The guys in Kuixinglou can prove that the carriage was parked here yesterday, and there was a four or five-year-old boy standing next to the carriage, but these cannot prove that the person is Zheng Han, if the boy is not Zheng Han, it would be wrong for them to follow the clues of the carriage, and it would be a waste of time.
Therefore, the key is, is the little boy Zheng Han?
Song Tian was silent for a moment, what he could think of, he believed that she was equally clear.
Squatting and observing for a while, Qin Ran stared at the black bulge in the corner of the wall, and the dagger he carried with him dug out a dust-stained semi-circular and semi-flat thing, and the outside of the thumb-sized thing was still glowing with jujube red.
Getting up again, she swept around and walked to the opposite street under the tree, where the front is Kuixing Tower, and one side is the alley, because there is an ancient well next to it, and it is impossible to figure out the situation here for a while when it looks from the alley, Qin Ran looked around the well and the tree, and when he turned back to the alley, he had one more thing in his hand.
"Look, this is the sugar gourd left by Zheng Han." She looked at Song Tianxian, his gaze focused on the two flattened sugar gourds lying in Qin Ran's palm, and she explained that she went to Kuixing Tower. "You wait for me."
Song Tianxian stood in place and waited for her, but after half an hour of effort, Qin Ran came out of Kuixing Tower, holding an iron-red sachet in his right hand, which contained a small long-life lock made of gold.
Two sugar gourds and a longevity lock are the motives for Zheng Han to sneak out.
"When playing yesterday, Zheng Han took off his longevity lock and put it under the pear blossom wood seat by the window, and he must have forgotten it when he went back, and went to Kuixing Tower alone at night to get it, and went to Old Man Cao to buy a string of sugar gourds before coming, and it is estimated that he ate two, and he saw something in the ancient well, and he deliberately buried the sugar gourd in the soil." The biggest reason why Old Man Cao's sugar gourd is popular is that his sugar gourd is very large, and the price of other sugar gourds is the same, a string of two more than eight for a total of eight, gradually, he sells sugar gourds alone on this street, this matter is still Zheng Han told Qin Ran.
"Why do you want to step on it?"
"Obviously, Song Yushi, not all children can eat sugar gourds." Don't think about it, people like Song Tianyan who spend a lot of money don't understand how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are in the eyes of ordinary people, where will they have spare money to buy a string of dispensable sugar gourds for their children. "If Zheng Han throws a sugar gourd on the side of the road, it is very likely that some child will see it picked up and rub it and eat it, or, a passing dog will take it away, Zheng Han thought of this, so he deliberately buried the sugar gourd in the soil and stepped on it to leave me a clue."
After Qin Ran finished speaking, he walked forward by himself, walked and walked back, looked at Song Tianxian, who was stunned in place, and motioned for him to follow.
"Let's go, I know you must have been smarter than him when you were a kid." Qin Ran discovered early that Zheng Han's brain turned faster than ordinary children.
The 10,000-year-old iceberg face can't help but have black lines.
Could it be that the word jealousy is written on his face?
Or did she think he needed to be jealous of a little kid?
Following the clues of the carriage, the two finally arrived at the city gate, fortunately found half a string of sugar gourds in the grass outside the city, unfortunately, as soon as they left the city, the clues were cut off.
The city gate was closed after sunset, and the carriage pulling Zheng Han went out of the city this morning, the carriage style was ordinary, the guards didn't pay too much attention, and they didn't find anything abnormal, who knows where Zheng Han went out of Furong City?
…………

In the afternoon, the county office.
"The county order, someone outside the city has spread it." Before he had time to eat a hot meal, Li Chen hurried back from outside the city.
There is no news about Zheng Han, and he can't go out to look for it, the only thing Zheng Chao can do is to guard the county government and wait for them to send back the good news.
"Goryeo? Han Junmin? After receiving the letter handed by Li Chen, he roughly skimmed through it and said expressionlessly.
"Han Junmin, the king of Goryeo County, he is the elder brother of the princess of Chengzong, and he is accompanied by the county lord Han Zhenji, who turns to the Great Qin Kingdom through Furong City, and I have asked people to review it, and their road guidance and other procedures are complete." Originally, he was leading people to look for Zheng Han's traces outside the city, but a few people from the county government happened to meet a team from Goryeo. "By the way, they specially greeted them, saying that their whereabouts were kept secret and that they would leave in two or three days."
At other moments, everyone is happy to receive foreign friends, but at this moment, Zheng Chao is not interested.
"Send the letter to the county." Zheng Han held his forehead with one hand and pushed the letter away with the other.
The son's matter has nothing to do, who wants to greet the king of Goryeo with a hippie smile.
"Then ......" Li Chen knew what Zheng Chao meant, and when he thought of something else, he hesitated to open his mouth to explain what reason.
The relationship between Chen Siming and the county government is not good, everyone has no other impression except that there is such a sick seedling, there are two main reasons for this phenomenon, one is that Chen Siming's family is well-off, this county is the income of the donation, compared to Zheng Chao and others who are officials in terms of strength, most people look down on Chen Siming in their hearts; Second, people who have come into contact with him say that he is a bad person, has a bad temper, and does not like to deal with people, and has been haunting the sickbed since he came to Furong City, looking sick, as if a loved one in the family has died.
"The illness is like a mountain, tell him, I am afraid that I will give the county king and the county lord after the illness, and let him pick people up."
"Okay."
Chen Siming has been sick for several years, and Zheng Chao's 'illness' for two days is not too much, after speaking, he walked to the backyard.

…………
On March 17, the sun set.
A medium-sized three-entry courtyard near the narrow alley was cleaned up by the mother-in-law who was temporarily found.
"Give me some more silver." Seeing that the mother-in-law was nimble, she cleaned up the house in an hour and a half, and Chen Siming ordered the chief to take some additional rewards.
"Thank you Chen Xiancheng, thank you very much." The mother-in-law in charge took the money and thanked her several times before turning to leave.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" A breeze blew into the courtyard, Chen Siming covered his mouth and coughed, and his body in his robe seemed to be shaking.
"You can rest, the small things will be done." Seeing this, Chang Sui stretched out his hand to help.
"Dacheng?" Chen Siming waved his hand, took out a square towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, waited for the cough to stop, and raised his eyes to look at the burly man walking towards the door.
"The little one is looking for it." Chang followed his back to the outside, so he didn't know that the Dacheng in Chen Siming's mouth had already walked towards the two of them, and when he turned around and saw Dacheng, he automatically retreated.
Chen Siming looked at Dacheng and guessed from the expression on his face that he should get the news he wanted.
"Zheng County Ling Aiko went missing yesterday and has not been found so far."
"Ahem...... Go ahead. Removing something from his eyes, Chen Siming coughed again.
When he first came to Furong City to take office, Chen Siming had made it clear to Zheng Chao that he was only here to cultivate, if there was any need to make money, he could contribute, in a few years, in fact, everyone did live in harmony, Zheng Chao never mentioned the matter of silver, and no one troubled him, so when Li Chen came to the door today, he must find out the ins and outs.
"Did you find that person?"
"Ji He, who often appears next to Song Tianxian, has a very deep background, and he can only find out that he is related to the Xuanties." Ji He's appearance in Kuixing Tower yesterday attracted Dacheng's attention, and Chen Siming immediately ordered him to investigate.
Regarding Ji He's appearance in Furong City again, Chen Siming was really puzzled, there was news that Song Tianyan was seriously ill in Chang'an, what should he mean by being here now?
Chen Siming was silent, and the courtyard was quiet for a while, until someone ran in quickly.
"The man has arrived." When Chang Sui said this, his face was not very natural, didn't Li Chen tell them to pay attention to the impact of low-key and low-key, and Chen Siming came out to see it, and his expression couldn't help but change.
Outside the house, beside the road, there were already people surrounding several floors, and neighbors called friends to gather together on the street to watch the excitement!
At first glance, the carriage at the head can be described as splendid, wrapped in silver edges, embellished with gold flowers, embedded with jade beads, two horses leading the car, the horses are tall and majestic, the copper hooves are on the road, snapping, full of style, and the four walls of the carriage are hollowed, passers-by can see a middle-aged man in a dark brown robe sitting inside, unable to see the appearance, but the momentum is to make people feel that this person is definitely noble.
A little later, similar carriages, the carvings are very complicated, the thumb-sized pearls are inlaid with four pillars, passers-by gasp when they see it, as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, where does this family come from? It's so rich!
However, what is even more amazing is that the wind blows through the pink gauze curtain, and it is faintly visible that a delicate beauty is sitting in it, which makes people's hearts itch and want to lift the curtain to explore.
"I'll go!" Lu Han on the side of the road had to complain, Gao Li is **** rich, who does he meet without meeting a thief on this high-profile trip? Who is passing by, and who doesn't want to pick a pearl?
Some people want to pick pearls, and some people want to catch beauties.
"The king of Goryeo County ......" Li Chen said the last sentence, and Zheng Kai had already taken the next sentence.
"Yan Fu is not shallow...... "He pretended to sigh and jokingly. Alas, this errand fell on the county Cheng, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it. ”
As far as the eye can see, the back end of the carriage is full of eleven or twelve-year-old girls, all of whom are peugeot, graceful, and have outstanding temperament, some are delicate, some are watery, and some are delicate.
"The rules are so strict, they droop their heads and only look at their toes." Obviously, there were many people around, and the girls did not squint, staring at the ground or in front of their shoes, and Lu Han also noticed that the team was followed by sturdy men in front of and on the left and right, and at the end, there were big men carrying more than a dozen large boxes. "The family is so thick!"
On the other side, Qin Ran and Song Tian, who were passing by, met this scene in an instant, the two stood on the edge of the house, and saw Chen Siming smiling towards the middle-aged man in a robe and wearing a forehead, and a young woman slowly came behind him.
The woman's skin is like congealed cream, her eyes are blurred, and her eye waves attract the attention of countless men, but unfortunately, the perfect picture is broken before the woman steps on the stone steps.
Accidentally, the woman stepped on her long skirt.
"Look for death!" The woman's figure froze, and with a snap, her palm had been waved to the little girl who was supporting her, and after the hand, a bright red slap mark was left on her cheek. (To be continued.) )
