Next Chapter

The scorching sun of midsummer scorched Qingzhou City under the rule of Dongshan Mansion like a fire. Although there was a heavy rain a few days ago, it was not a problem, after the rain stopped, some water accumulated in the potholes on the ground, and then under the scorching sun, the ground was like a huge steamer. As soon as the stagnant water dried, the surface of the ground could not help but be freaked and cracked.

The weather is too hot, the big guys are reluctant to go out, except for those bare-chested children who are full of interest, running around under the scorching sun, the adults are more under the trees to take advantage of the shade, occasionally passing by two men with hoes, also invited to come, say a few words, the scorching sun is poisonous, you might as well take a break and then go to the ground.

The sun sets, the afterglow is like fog, this is at dusk, the feeling of heat and dryness gradually dissipates, the noisy day of knowing is gradually low, Liuhe Town is a remote place outside Qingzhou City, here live and live are some honest crop men, because it is located in Liuhe Bay, so the name Liuhe Town, is the so-called mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water draft, most of the people in Liuhe Town are fishing for a living, and grow some miscellaneous grains, subsidy degree.

The lotus leaves in Liuhe Bay are growing fat, a piece of turquoise, there is a small boat in the distance, the fishing boat sings at night, a wisp of Xiao Yin is as clear as Sanskrit singing, with the lotus leaves that are separated, floating to the four directions.

The sun is setting, the old farmer who returned at dusk is carrying his hands on his back, leaning over, holding a piece of rope in his hand, walking slowly from the field, followed by a skinny old cow, on the back of the cow sits a doll with braids, at this time is playing with great interest with the old farmer hanging on the horn of the hat. Farther away, the red sun with big wheels has been half lost in the world.

The sound of the flute came in the distance, the old farmer turned his head slightly and looked into the depths of the river bay, the boat was hidden in the depths of the lotus, only vaguely saw a white robe on the bow of the boat, wearing a flat square scarf, followed by a beauty in green clothes, the beauty held an oil-paper umbrella, graceful, light waist to bend, lazily holding a beautiful bun, indescribable romantic charm, the white-clothed scholar stood on the bow of the boat, the sound of the flute is from his person.

The old farmer already knew at a glance that this is the son of the Zhang family in Qingzhou, I want to come to the scorching heat, come here to escape the heat, there is a Zhang family's courtyard in this Liuhe Bay, every time the heat is hot, the Zhang family will come here to escape the heat. The old man is an honest man, when he saw that there were female dependents on the boat, he hurriedly lowered his head, this wealthy family, can not compare to the country people, see more, it is inevitable to be rude, we can't afford to provoke this wealthy family.

Today is indeed the master of the Zhang family to this river bay to play the summer come, the master of the Zhang family surnamed Zhang Mingang, the word Yixuan, this year just and weak crown.

When Zhang Dingkun, the old owner of the Zhang family, died of illness four years ago, he handed over his struggling belongings to his only son Zhang Ang, who was only 16 years old. Everyone else thought that the Zhang family was going to fall from now on, and Zhang Ang did not show any ability in the first year of taking over the family business.

But who knew that from the second year, this Zhang Ang was like a divine help, whether it was business, farming, raising horses and mining, it was simply invincible, and his family quickly set up shops, workshops, fields, horse farms, ......, and his wealth increased like a snowball, and now he has become one of the top ten richest people in Qingzhou.

Just after the three-year filial piety period, Zhang Yixuan and Zhang Gongzi participated in the government school again, and in one fell swoop were admitted to the Zhusheng (Xiucai), with fame, and a huge family business, Zhang Anggongzi immediately became the hottest unmarried young man in Qingzhou Mansion, and I don't know how many gentlemen stared at him, wanting to recruit this young talent as a son-in-law, and the matchmakers flocked to him, almost not breaking the threshold.

It is also strange to say, this Zhang Ang Zhang Yixuan's son, the filial piety period has passed, and there should be nothing to stop him from marrying a wife, but many ladies in Qingzhou City and even Dongshan Mansion have never entered his eyes, and the world can't help but talk about it when they see this, the son of the Zhang family will not be a good Longyang fetish! After Zhang Ang heard this, he was furious, and then he often went in and out of the land of fireworks, and fell into the name of a merry man.

The beauty in Tsing Yi on the boat was bought by Zhang Ang for 200 yuan in Tai'an Mansion the day before yesterday, her name is You Qing, and she was born so cute and cute! Especially the kung fu of serving people, it is even more home, otherwise Zhang Ang would not have taken him back to the Hewan Courtyard, you must know that although Zhang Ang is amorous outside, he never brings a woman from outside home, this is the first time.

The boat stopped in the depths of the river bend, You Qing took the tender lotus root cut into thin slices from the cabin, the lotus root was fished up from the inlet, the live shrimp were pulled out from the root nest under the willow tree by the river, as for the fat chickens and tender sheep and the old wine, they were all brewed in their own Zhuangzi, and there was a plate of mulberries washed like black agate, and the people who watched were salivating, this fresh mulberry was picked from the mulberry tree born by the bay, and counted carefully, now send the prince to catch a fat fish and come up to drink the wine, then the merit is complete, all the food, All of them are produced in their own courtyards, which has a unique wild interest.

Zhang Ang sat cross-legged on the side of the boat, holding a waxy teak fish rod with both hands, the fishing line hung in the river bay, the breeze came slowly, the sunset reflected on the river surface, the red Tongtong was very good-looking, and there were beauties beside him, everything was leisurely and content, and the fun was endless.

The beauty beside him also lightly stretched her jade arms from time to time, giggled and wrapped her arms around Young Master Zhang's neck, and affectionately had a fragrant "leather cup" with him.

It's a pity that this is the private property of the Zhang family, outsiders don't dare to wander here, and the servants and servants have avoided it early, and the only ones who are fortunate to see this scene are a few toads with wide eyes and belly puffing up on the lotus leaves.

When a crescent moon in the sky was obliquely provoked, the cups and laughter in the boat were gone, but there were faint sounds of "chirping".

Zhang Ang undressed in a wide robe, lying on his back with his belly back, hanging on the surface of the lake with a fishing rod in his left hand, and holding a wine jug in his right hand, looking at the starry sky, drinking a sip of self-brewed wine, and enjoying himself.

You Qing was born with a beautiful appearance like a flower and jade, and she made delicious food, and her ability to serve people was even better. The rod in his left hand seemed to move, thinking that a fish had bitten the hook, and a ripple rippled away, and the line was pulled downward.

At this moment, there was a sudden wave in the water, a black shadow jumped out of the water, and under the white moonlight was a pair of lonely eyes, like electricity like a torch, the man in black took out a money dart from his arms, without thinking, he didn't enter Zhang Ang's chest with a bang, and then jumped into the water, startled a big wave, and then jumped again, out of the water, and then jumped out of the water, and then jumped on an old tree, and disappeared several times.

Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and Zhang Ang didn't even have time to make a sound, only to see a blood stain on his chest, and blood gushed out. You Qing was already stunned with fright, where had she ever seen such a scene, she was stunned for a long time, and then she screamed.

"Childe killed someone...... No...... No...... Childe was killed......"
