Chapter 462: True and False County Officials (4)
At this moment, Chen Zhixian said: "Third brother! You sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen and bring the food and drinks, they're all too slow to do things, and I don't know when I'll be able to do it well! ”
As he spoke, he walked out, and the visitor sat alone in a chair, bored, and saw a teapot on the coffee table, so he carried it in his hand, and found that there was herbal tea, and poured the tea with his mouth, and sucked it.
After a while, the kitchen master held a tray with dishes in both hands, and Chen Zhixian followed behind with a jar of wine in both hands and walked into the reception room.
The visitor asked, "Big brother! Has the second brother ever been here? ”
"After our three brothers broke up, this is your first visit, and I have met the second brother there?"
Chen Zhixian said lightly, but his face was a little unnatural, this was only for a moment, but Fang Lei saw it very clearly, thinking that there must be something wrong with this, and after the kitchen master went out, he quickly closed the door.
The visitor said, "That's strange, I saw him last summer, and then he disappeared, where did he go?" ”
Chen Zhixian lowered his voice and asked, "Third brother! Didn't we say at that time, give each of you three hundred taels of silver, and go your separate ways, and never come back to each other? Why doesn't talking count? ”
"I said it at the time, but the younger brother is not good at management, and the capital has been eroded, and in desperation, I have to ask the eldest brother again, I hope that for the sake of our former sworn brothers, help the younger brother, right?" The visitor said.
When Chen Zhixian heard this, he was unhappy and asked, "Then how much do you want?" ”
"I don't dare to ask for more, I can't take too much with me, just ten yellow goods! This is just a drop in the bucket for the eldest brother, but for the younger brother, it is already satisfied! The visitor said.
Chen Zhixian heard that the visitor actually asked for ten gold bars, and his face changed suddenly, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, for fear that it would not be good for him to stiffen, so he said with a smile: "Third brother! You're a lion's mouth! Isn't it intentional to embarrass Big Brother? ”
"The younger brother didn't come to disturb you, let you be the magistrate of the county for three years, and the scavenged people's fat and ointment will be stored in a room, and the younger brother wants a little bit, is it much? If what you did back then is exposed, it will be a great sin for the Nine Clans! The visitor said.
Chen Zhixian said: "This Cangsong County is my world!" Even if you say it, who will believe it? ”
"In the past, I believed it, because you Chen Zhixian could cover the sky with one hand, but now, the streets are full of notices of patrol envoys openly handling cases, if I tell this shocking secret that has been hidden for three years, do you think they will believe it or not?" The visitor wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Chen Zhixian said with a smile on his face: "Brother Wei is joking with you, the younger brother has something to ask for, and he should do his best to help you, but these yellow goods have been hidden in an unknown place, and it is difficult to obtain them for a while, right?" Tomorrow night, please trouble the little brother to come again, ten yellow croaker, two pounds and two, it is definitely not difficult for the little brother! ”
The visitor also turned his anger into joy and said with a smile: "This is my good big brother!" It doesn't matter if you go again tomorrow night, it's a lot of good things! ”
"Look! Our two brothers only care about talking, Lai is cold, I haven't seen you for many years, drink two cups well, and catch up with the old days! Chen Zhixian said.
As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar, poured a big bowl, drank it to himself, then filled two bowls, handed a bowl to the visitor, picked up a bowl himself, touched it, and did it again.
Fang Lei was lying on the tile surface, and he was also excited, his move of "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" really led the person out, knocked Chen Zhixian hard, and waited for him to follow, catch the person, there is a way for him to tell the earth-shattering secret, ten gold bars can be given up, it must be a big conspiracy!
The two of them pushed the cups and drank happily, but they were each pregnant with ghosts, and after a while, the visitor said, "Big brother! I need to go back first, I still have things to do! ”
Chen Zhixian didn't keep it, and said: "The younger brother is in a hurry, and it is inconvenient for the brother to stay, when I come tomorrow night, I will definitely prepare a cash loan for you, but this is the last time to help you, I hope you will do it yourself!" ”
"I understand this, after getting this thing, the little brother will go away and fly high, let me go to the ends of the earth, and never bother the eldest brother again, this time I will definitely talk and count!" The visitor assured.
Chen Zhixian sent the visitor out of the house, and after the visitor left, a grim smile appeared on his face, and his heart suddenly became much more relaxed.
After the man left Chen's mansion, he crossed the street, strung through the alleys, and saw that no one was following him, so he left the county seat from the west gate and walked straight to a mountain path.
Fang Lei had already carried out the light work, followed him from a distance, and when he went up to a small hillside, the man suddenly staggered and stood unsteadily, and scolded loudly: "Wu Dasheng, you dog thief, you have been poisoned in wine, Lao Tzu will not let you go even if you become a ghost!" ”
Before he finished speaking, the person had fallen to the ground, unconscious, Fang Lei suddenly flashed forward, picked up the person, carried light skills, and quickly came to the water stream, took out a medicine bottle from his coat pocket, took out an elixir, and poured it with the stream water.
After a quarter of an hour, the man suddenly opened his mouth and spat out all the poisonous wine, and his purple-black face became a trace of blood, and the man slowly sat up.
He glanced at Fang Lei beside him and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life!" ”
Fang Lei helped him up and asked curiously, "Why did Chen Zhixian kill you with poisonous wine?" Why did you scold Wu Dasheng for being a dog thief when he knew that he had been poisoned? ”
"You know all about this?" The man asked.
Fang Lei said: "I have long suspected that this magistrate is not a good person, so I always monitor him, tonight, I am lying on the tile of the reception room of the Chen Mansion, monitoring his every move, your conversation, I can also hear it clearly, according to my estimate, he took the opportunity to put poison into the wine when he went to the kitchen to get wine and food, and wanted to kill people!" ”
This is indeed the case, when Chen Zhixian suddenly saw the third brother, his heart sank, knowing that his arrival would not be anything good, but would bring him a catastrophe, so he had the intention of killing him, hurriedly entered the room and took out the poison, put it in the wine, but he took the antidote first and drank the same jar of wine, which would not arouse suspicion.
"The three of us used to be brothers, he is the eldest brother, and there is a second brother, I am the third brother, now that I think about it, the second brother may have also come to him, but he was killed by him with poisoned wine, because my second brother and I once had an agreement, on average, we will meet once every three months in the Wanjia restaurant in Hanshan County, exchange the latest information, since last summer, I haven't seen anyone!"
What kind of person is this Chen Zhixian?
