Chapter 245: Intercession
When Ke Tianlin returned home, all he could think about was the letter from the third princess.
The third princess undoubtedly wanted him to go to prison by doing this.
How much the third princess hated him in her heart, Ke Tianlin knew it in her heart.
But he didn't expect retribution to come so quickly, and now Ke Tianlin is no longer in the mood to think about the abnormality of Governor Zhou's mansion.
Ke Tianlin is now thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the county.
Because this incident happened in the territory under the jurisdiction of Baiyun County, even if Ke Tianlin was in Rongcheng, he would be called to Baiyun County.
Ke Tianlin was a little anxious in his heart, what he thought before was that there would be the help of Zhou Zhifu, and he would have no fear in doing things, but now, with the existence of the third princess, Zhou Zhifu was unwilling to help.
The rest is on his own.
Xiaoyu has been out to help Ke Tianlin take care of his business all year round, and now he is the only person who can be regarded as a sincere person by Ke Tianlin's side.
Because they grew up together, Ke Tianlin used to be good to Xiaoyu, so even if Ke Tianlin now has become a little unreasonable, Xiaoyu has also experienced patience.
Xiaoyu also hurried back when he heard what was going on outside.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Yu said anxiously: "Childe, things are not good." ”
Xiao Yu heard that the official sent by the county magistrate of Baiyun County had arrived in Rongcheng, so he hurriedly returned to the middle of the house to inform Ke Tianlin.
"What do you say? The county magistrate of Baiyun County has already sent someone? ”
Ke Tianlin didn't expect things to come really quickly.
Xiao Yu said a little anxiously: "Childe, you better leave first, I'll deal with it here." ”
This time Ke Tianlin will be caught, it is a certain thing, Xiaoyu does not want such a thing to happen.
Ke Tianlin nodded and said, "Xiaoyu, you stall here, I'll go find Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu." Governor Zhou said that if I am not guilty, I can only go and ask the Chen family for forgiveness. ”
It happened so suddenly, Ke Tianlin didn't have time to think of other countermeasures. The most important thing right now is to settle this matter.
Xiao Yu motioned for Ke Tianlin to leave through the back door.
"Childe, you can leave here first and leave it to me, let's go."
Ke Tianlin hurriedly left from the back door of the mansion with a silver ticket.
Take the carriage all the way to Baiyun County.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu here finally finished dealing with the outside business.
I finally had time to get home.
Le'er hadn't seen Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu for a while. Seems a little detached.
Zhao Canniang took out the gadgets she bought outside and began to have fun.
Mother and daughter are born with a wonderful bond.
Le'er was amused by Zhao Canniang, stretched out her hand and shouted vaguely: "Mother...... Mother. ”
Zhao Canniang's face was full of surprise, and the crazy happiness in her heart couldn't be expressed in words for a while.
"Le'er will call her mother."
Zhao Canniang shouted at Chen Zhongqiu.
When Chen Zhongqiu heard this, he was also very surprised, and walked to Le'er's side and hugged Le'er: "Le'er will call her mother again." ”
Le'er shouted very obediently: "Niang" Although it is a little unclear, she can distinguish that the small syllable is calling Niang.
Lan Die on the side smiled and said: "Le'er would have called her mother a long time ago, but Madame, you haven't been at home recently, but Le'er will only call her mother and not her father for the time being." ”
The time when Zhao Canniang was away. It's all blue butterflies with fun.
Chen Zhongqiu was in a good mood: "Le'er is so good." ”
While they were talking, Xian'er and Mrs. Chen came over.
Zhao Canniang and the others returned to their courtyard just after they came back, and they originally planned to rest and then go to ask for peace, but they didn't think that Mrs. Chen would come by herself.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Chen heard Chen Zhongqiu's words and said complainingly: "If you come back a little later, maybe Le'er won't know you anymore, you!" It's been almost two months since I went out, and you can see it's autumn now. ”
Mrs. Chen complained. In my heart, I felt sorry for the two of them.
Zhao Canniang is very hard at Chen Zhongqiu outside, how can Mrs. Chen not know.
Zhao Canniang hurriedly stood up and asked Mrs. Chen to sit down: "Mother, I have worked hard for you in the past two months." ”
Zhao Canniang felt a little guilty in her heart, this family has been taken care of by Mrs. Chen since she got married. She didn't care much at all.
Mrs. Chen sat down and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are back, have you finished handling the affairs outside?" ”
Zhao Canniang nodded: "It's basically done." ”
Xian'er went to Le'er for a while. walked to Zhao Canniang's side and began to stick to Zhao Canniang.
"Godmother Xian'er will be poetized."
Zhao Canniang also felt sorry for Xian'er in her heart: "Xian'er is good." Wait a while to memorize the poems you learned to the godmother, the godmother has to talk to her grandmother now. ”
When Xian'er heard this, she ran to the side very sensibly.
Chen Zhongqiu also handed over the child to Blue Butterfly.
Mrs. Chen should have come to find out what was going on outside.
Because it should be what Master Chen meant.
"Tell me about what you've been out there lately. Your father just doesn't feel at ease, but he doesn't want to come. ”
Mrs. Chen was a little helpless when she talked about this matter.
Master Chen seems to have become a little taciturn after what happened to Aunt Xia last time.
Chen Zhongqiu sighed at this time before saying: "We have solved the matter outside, when we came back, we heard that the county order had sent someone to Rongcheng to arrest Ke Tianlin, this time those guys who were arrested all said that they were instructed by Ke Tianlin, and Ke Tianlin will definitely be beaten or imprisoned this time." ”
When he said this, Chen Zhongqiu felt a little relaxed in his heart.
Mrs. Chen was a little happy in her heart: "As long as he goes to prison, how can that person be so bad." ”
Zhao Canniang smiled: "We also have time to come over because the matter is dealt with." Mother, you and your father don't have to worry, there are things outside with me and Zhongqiu, and there will be no problems. ”
Zhao Canniang was in a good mood.
Mrs. Chen was very satisfied with Zhao Canniang, but thinking of the matter of the heir, Mrs. Chen was a little anxious.
"Canniang, don't blame your mother for being too talkative, as long as you and Zhongqiu settle down now or think about the child, our Chen family will have a child in Zhongqiu. I'm not trying to put pressure on you, you should know the truth of having more children and more blessings. ”
Mrs. Chen actually had to do a long psychological struggle in her heart before she thought of saying this.
Zhao Canniang nodded and said, "Mother, I know." When Ke Tianlin's matter is dealt with, I will consider this matter. ”
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she felt a lot more relieved.
Xian'er hasn't seen Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu for a long time. I played in this yard until late and was reluctant to leave.
On the afternoon of the second day, an uninvited guest came to the house.
Ke Tianlin rushed all night in a row, and finally arrived in Baiyun County.
Looking at the familiar street, Ke Tianlin's heart was a little distressed.
Only when he was alone was Ke Tianlin willing to think about the things between him and Zhao Canniang before.
Even he didn't know what he had done wrong, and now he and Zhao Canniang had become such a situation.
Ke Tianlin in the carriage no longer had the appearance of a grand and domineering person.
This incident had a great impact on Ke Tianlin.
Without shelter, he felt that he was nothing.
To put it bluntly, he eats soft rice, but his name is a little better.
He believed that the third princess wanted to kill them all this time, and the Zhou prefect received the letter from the third princess, how could the magistrate not receive it.
The carriage arrived at Chen's house. Ke Tianlin did not get off the carriage, but asked the groom to report it, saying that it was an old friend who came to visit and asked to see Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu.
Ke Tianlin hesitated for a long time, and finally handed the jade pendant on his body to the little guy.
"Take this jade pendant and ask the little servant to present it."
Ke Tianlin was not sure if Zhao Canniang would see him.
In the courtyard, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu rarely have a day of leisure, so they naturally have to accompany their families at home and take care of their children.
Zhao Canniang's heart was guilty, since the child was born, she stayed by Blue Butterfly's side for much longer than by her side.
When the porter brought the jade pendant. Zhao Canniang is taking the child.
Chen Zhongqiu saw the porter coming, still holding something in his hand, and also walked over from the courtyard.
"Someone outside the young lady asked to see him, and he called himself an old friend. He also handed over this jade pendant. ”
Zhao Canniang took the jade pendant in the concierge's hand, glanced at it, and then said in surprise: "Zhongqiu Ke Tianlin is here." ”
Hear the name. Chen Zhongqiu's eyes narrowed a little dangerously: "What is he doing here?" ”
Zhao Canniang sneered, and had already guessed the purpose of Chen Zhongqiu's coming here: "What do you say he can do here!" Presumably, the official of the county magistrate arrived in Rongcheng. Frightened him to us, I guess he must have come to intercede. ”
Zhao Canniang smiled brightly.
Chen Zhongqiu also smiled sarcastically: "He really has face." Since we're here, we'll see you, and we'll go out. ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, she definitely didn't want Ke Tianlin to enter the Chen Mansion.
Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang walked out of the house.
Ke Tianlin had already gotten out of the carriage at this time, and watched Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu walk out of the door side by side from a distance, looking like a couple of beautiful couples, Ke Tianlin was very jealous in his heart.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu glanced at each other, and Chen Zhongqiu said, "Go to the tea house to talk!" ”
No superfluous nonsense.
Regarding the attitude of the two, Ke Tianlin was a little annoyed.
He didn't expect that Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu could ignore him like this.
It's just that no matter how much anger he has in his heart, Ke Tianlin can't show it, he is here to beg for help.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu did not take the carriage, but walked directly.
Not far from Chen's house, there is a tea house with a quiet private room.
Chen Zhongqiu asked for a quieter room, and waited quietly with Zhao Canniang.
Ke Tianlin saw that the two were walking, so he naturally couldn't take the carriage, so he had to follow closely and walked into the tea house.
The expressions of the three people in the room were different, and Chen Zhongqiu drank the tea slowly and did not take the initiative to speak.
Zhao Canniang used her hands to play with the flowers and plants on the table.
Ke Tianlin was very helpless when he saw the attitude of the two.
"I don't say polite words to the two of you, I'll just say it."
Ke Tianlin spoke very politely at the moment.
Zhao Canniang looked at Ke Tianlin and still didn't speak.
Ke Tianlin saw that Zhao Canniang was now looking at him as if he was looking at the eyes of an enemy, and suppressed the little bitterness in his heart: "What happened some time ago was my fault, and I am willing to compensate you for your losses." ”
When Zhao Canniang heard this, she put down the leaf in her hand and looked at Ke Tianlin.
"Compensate for damages? Ke Gongzi, did you say this after thinking about it? Zhao Canniang is now able to face Ke Tianlin calmly.
The previous feeling of distress has disappeared unconsciously. Now Zhao Canniang really treats Ke Tianlin as an enemy!
Ke Tianlin looked at Zhao Canniang with some puzzlement, but saw Zhao Canniang and said slowly: "It's really a coincidence, I calculated the loss of our family during this time a few days ago." If Gongzi Ke wants to compensate for the silver, give 10,000 taels of silver! ”
Zhao Canniang said very easily. But Ke Tianlin was shocked.
"What ten thousand taels?"
Zhao Canniang nodded: "It's 10,000 taels of silver, if you want to compensate, you have to pay so much silver." ”
Chen Zhongqiu also continued: "Gongzi Ke, we are all understanding people, in fact, you don't have to come here to talk to us today, because it doesn't make the slightest sense. ”
"Why doesn't it make the slightest sense? Chen Zhongqiu: We are all businessmen, a qualified businessman always puts interests first, don't tell you that you are not rare at all. ”
Ke Tianlin is not a soft egg, and it is inevitable that he still has a temper at this time.
Chen Zhongqiu hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "You are right, I am really not a qualified businessman." I really want to tell you now that I don't want this bit of silver, I just want the county to arrest you and put you in jail. ”
Ke Tianlin frowned: "Chen Zhongqiu sometimes doesn't do things too much. ”
Zhao Canniang on the side smiled: "Excessive? Who went overboard? Ke Tianlin, you don't seem to know the truth of the matter! Who has been pressing our family every step of the way for so long, forcing our family to have no way out? Ke Tianlin seems to be you. ”
Zhao Canniang's words made Ke Tianlin frown.
"So you mean that you don't want to accept my apology and compensation?" Ke Tianlin's voice became a little colder.
Zhao Canniang stood up and looked at Ke Tianlin seriously: "Yes, we don't want to, Ke Tianlin, you ask for more blessings, I asked the county order, you will not only be punished by the board, but also go to prison for two years, there will be no less, if you hate us, it will be better to come out in two years." ”
Zhao Canniang didn't say it, in fact, everyone understands. If you really wait for Ke Tianlin to come out two years later, I am afraid that it will already be Zhao Canniang's world.
"Zhao Canniang sometimes has to be a man without leaving a way out for herself." Ke Tianlin's words were a little threatening.
"Gongzi Ke doesn't talk more than half a sentence, and I won't say anything else, you can take this jade pendant back!" Zhao Canniang threw the jade pendant to Ke Tianlin. This jade pendant was given to Zhao Canniang when Ke Tianlin left Baiyun County, and when he came to Yucheng later, Zhao Canniang knew that Ke Tianlin and Ji Yanran had a marriage contract. returned the jade pendant to Ke Tianlin, Zhao Canniang just didn't expect Ke Tianlin to keep this jade pendant.
Ke Tianlin took the jade pendant. raised his head and looked at Zhao Canniang.
"Canniang, do you really hate me like this?" Ke Tianlin's voice softened a little.
Ke Tianlin didn't know how repulsive and disgusted such a voice was in Zhao Canniang's heart.
Chen Zhongqiu did not speak. This is Zhao Canniang's own business, and he believes that Zhao Canniang can handle it well.
"Yes, I hate you very much, but I don't want to hate you now, because I find that you don't even deserve to hate me."
Zhao Canniang's words landed soundly, and every sentence pierced Ke Tianlin's heart like an awl.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Ke Tianlin knew that if he didn't ask clearly this time, he would never have a chance in the future, and Ke Tianlin didn't think that what he had been doing was so wrong.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, and smiled beautifully: "Because you have done too many wrong things, I can't remember why I hate you so much, Ke Tianlin, you are just too arrogant, you have always thought that what you did was right, you never cared about the feelings of others, I really don't want to say more to you if you say anything else, how many bad things have you done to our Ke family in the past two years?" ”
Zhao Canniang asked word by word.
Ke Tianlin was a little stunned.
"Let's go, we have nothing to talk to you about, if you can ensure that the people in the government don't catch you, it can be regarded as your luck, this time it should be for Sister Ji's face to let you go, our family is not short of silver, and we are not rare, you will do it yourself in the future."
Chen Zhongqiu stood up when he saw Zhao Canniang finish speaking.
"Canniang, let's go."
Chen Zhongqiu grabbed Zhao Canniang's waist and walked out.
Ke Tianlin stupidly watched the two leave.
Did he really do it wrong? No, he's not wrong! Whoever stands in his way, he will be eliminated.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu walked out of the tea house, and Zhao Canniang said with a wry smile: "Zhongqiu, should we go out to report to the official now?" ”
Chen Zhongqiu smiled: "You! In the end, it's still soft-hearted, and you have to take it seriously when you say it, since you said you want to let him go once, let it go! ”
Hearing Chen Zhongqiu say this, Zhao Canniang nodded: "Then I'll listen to you and let him go." ”
The two went back to Chen's mansion directly.
Ke Tianlin waited for a long time before leaving, and walked out of the tea house with a heavy heart, and for a while he didn't know why he should go there.
The Ke family can't go back for the time being, maybe there are a lot of officials waiting there, and other places .......
Ke Tianlin walked slowly on the street, completely unaware that because he escaped from Banyan City, the government had issued a wanted warrant.
There were more officials on the street. Ke Tianlin was surrounded in the middle.
By the time Ke Tianlin reacted, he couldn't escape.
Not long after Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu left, news came from the yamen, saying that Ke Tianlin had caught him.
Because the county magistrate had received a letter from the third princess before, the only little concern in Ke Tianlin's heart was automatically cleared.
Now Ke Tianlin is a chess piece in the eyes of the county master.
When Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang heard that Ke Tianlin was arrested, they still didn't think about it, after all, Ke Tianlin is not a fool, since he is not a fool, is it very problematic to be caught so easily.
"In mid-autumn, are we going to go to the county master to have a look?" Zhao Canniang asked tentatively.
Chen Zhongqiu shook his head: "No, the county master will handle this matter well, I believe that Ke Tianlin will be punished this time." ”
Zhao Canniang laughed: "In mid-autumn, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, last time we said that we would send our father and mother to ask for Zhuangzi, but this delay has dragged on for a few months, and this time we can send the two old people away." (To be continued......)
