… When he woke up, it was only close to midnight, the cold moon hung high in the air, and he was lying on the bed with a tame coffee, and from time to time he could hear the sound of insects chirping outside, and his arm moved slightly. /, M/ but felt that his whole body was sore and uncomfortable, perhaps it was the pain that made Chu Zhi regain his consciousness. Slowly opened his eyes.

By the faint candlelight of the room. Looking at the familiar furnishings, Chu Zhen knew that he was in the mansion of the county government, and there was confusion in his eyes, as if he was thinking about how he returned to the county office, and after a while, he finally found his memory. couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the sore feeling hit one after another, that kind of taste made Chu Zhen swear never to swim again in the future.

After the pain. Suddenly felt a burst of hunger in his stomach, uncomfortable and abnormal, listening to the sound of Gudu's belly, Chu Zhi suddenly remembered that he had been busy all day and had no chance to eat. In the end, I almost went to see the king of Yama, and if I didn't replenish my energy, I might not become a water ghost, but instead become a starving soul.

endured the soreness and softness, and supported his body slightly, Chu Zhi was about to get out of bed. I don't want to suddenly be dark and dizzy in front of me. He collapsed back on his back on the bed as if his whole body was weak, and he shook down, making him breathe. Coughing profusely.

"Childe, when he heard a movement in the room, Changgui, who was waiting in the side room, hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw Chu Zhen's appearance, he looked panicked and stunned for a moment, and then he stepped forward quickly like a sudden realization. Pick up Chu Qian.

After coughing a few times, the breath was smoothed, but his throat was still a little hot and dry, he reached out and rubbed his neck, Chu Zhi felt more comfortable, and was about to speak, but found that the noise became hoarse: "It's okay" Go get a glass of water The sound is dry like the friction of masonry and stone, and he only said a few words. Chu Zhi felt his throat burst into flames.

Changgui seemed to be taken aback, and it took a long time to react, and he hurriedly poured warm water from the table in the room. Serving Chu Zhen and drinking, seeing that his painful expression was relieved, he calmed down, his eyes were red and said: "Childe, you have finally woken up, before going out, Mrs. Hui told the little one to take good care of Childe." The little ones didn't make it. Damn it. ”

With Changgui's support, Chu Zhi half lay on the bed, drank a few warm waters, and the heat in his throat disappeared a little, although he was still a little uncomfortable, but his voice was much clearer: "This matter is mine, what does it have to do with you."

Seeing that Changgui's eyes were about to overflow with tears, Chu Zhen smiled. Whispered, "Besides. Don't you see I'm all right now? What can happen, man. How can you be like such a daughter, and don't weep and mourn your face? Otherwise, I will tell Xiaojuan about your troubles, and see if she still pays attention to you

Xiaojuan is the maid in Mrs. Hui's house, and Changgui sees her every time. His eyes are always aimed at others, and he smirks longingly. What thoughts are stored in it is not a secret in Chu Mansion.

At the mention of Xiaojuan, Changgui's expression was obviously different, and he smiled and lowered his head a little embarrassed, but after a while. He whispered again: "Childe." This kind of thing happens in the future. Tell the little ones to do it. Don't put yourself at risk, I saw them carry you back yesterday. His face and lips were blue and black, motionless, and the little one thought that his soul was almost scattered with fright. ”

Touched his face. Sure enough, it's a little cold, after soaking in the rain for so long, the body temperature drops normally, and it's good that the little life is not explained there. Chu Zhen is optimistic, maybe something good will happen in two days. It would be better for the imperial court to send an official document to transfer itself back to Bianliang, which would be even cooler.

After a beautiful dream, he suddenly remembered the meaning of Changgui's words, and Chu Zhen said in surprise: "You just said yesterday, so I am already asleep."

Well, one day in the middle of the night, Changgui said, involuntarily yawning, with two very eye-catching dark circles on his face, and the bags under his eyes were a little red and swollen. Go without saying. must be worried about Chu Qian, so he takes care of the escort. In the middle of the night, there was no rest at all.

Originally, I wanted to inquire about the situation of the people, but when I saw Changgui's appearance, Chu Zhen couldn't bear it, and said in a harmonious voice: "You're tired, go back to sleep quickly."

Changgui nodded, and quickly shook his head and said, "No." I'm going to stay and serve my son. ”

"Whatever you want, but I'm so tired, but I'm going to rest, Chu said. Lie down again, close your eyes, and say, "Don't you quarrel with me." ”

"In that case, the little one will stand aside for the time being, and there is nothing to call for." The little ones come right over. Changgui also seemed to understand Chu Qian's intentions, with a somewhat warm mood. Slowly exit the room and gently close the door. Cautiously return to the side room. But instead of sleeping, Kimono squinted and lay on the table, thinking that it would be good to just take a nap.

Unexpectedly, it may be because he saw Chu Zhi wake up and was in a good mood, after closing his eyelids, only ten seconds later, he immediately fell asleep, and made a even thunderous nasal sound.

Hearing the movement from next door, Chu Zhen chuckled slightly. Then open your eyes. Looking at the clear moonlight that seeped in through the window. The indescribable joy welled up in my heart. Because he listened carefully. From outside there were many sounds, birds and insects, and the sound of the breeze rolling leaves. There is also the sound of Changgui, but there is no sound of waterfall rain hitting the wall.

If it weren't for the faint sound of water droplets dripping from the eaves, Chu Zhen would have thought that the sky had cleared, but this could also be explained. Even if the rain doesn't stop. It's also weakened a lot, hopefully tomorrow with a sunny and good weather. With best wishes. A wave of sleepiness hit, but his stomach was still hungry, and with a hint of resentment, Chu Zhen slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning, perhaps because of the rain, there was a hazy mist in the yard, and cotton wool swam slowly. Shrouding the house in the county government, Chu Zhen, who was in his sleep, also felt the slightest coolness, and couldn't help curling up his body, and rolled the thin silk covering his body more compactly.

At this time, the sky was still covered with layers of gray color. I don't know if it's rain clouds, after a while. The eastern sky gradually whitened, and in an instant, a round of red sun leaped from the brittle horizon, and there were thousands of rays of energy. The boundless heat instantly dispersed the layers of fog in the air.

The earth seems to return to the season of spring and the revival of all things, washed and moistened by the rain, and the branches and leaves of the trees look so lush under the sun. Especially the dew that hangs from the tips of the leaves. There are also flashes of colorful halos; Birds also flutter their wings from their nests like arrows and soar through the air. The cry was crisp and loud. Blue sky, white clouds, green trees, clear water, and a gentle breeze show a scene full of vitality.

When a ray of sunlight was projected on his body, Chu Zhi suddenly woke up and lifted the silk quilt. Jump out of bed and hurry through, Erding. Pushing open the window, Yang Xian, who had not seen him for many days, had a bright face on his face

Childe shouted through the door.

Come in, Chu Zhen said. Gently stretched his body, did a few chest expansion and leg pressing movements, and found that the soreness from last night had disappeared for most of the time, except for the muscles that were still a little stiff, everything else was normal, and the washing was completed. Feel more refreshed.

With the momentum of the wind and the clouds. After sweeping away a few plates of breakfast on the table, he took a sip of the fragrant tea soup that moistened his lungs. A warmth flowed through his body, and Chu Zhi couldn't help but sigh comfortably, looking very comfortable.

Looking at the empty table, Changgui was smiling, and he was afraid that Chu Zhen would not be able to eat, so he said kindly: "Childe." Do you want to ask the kitchen to prepare more meals?

"No need, you only need to eat eight points full, this is the way to maintain health." Chu Zhi said, with a satisfied face, Changgui naturally said yes again and again. He quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks and asked the nearby servants to bring them back to the kitchen. And he stood next to Chu Qian, with the intention of not leaving an inch.

Among them, Chu Zhen also understood what he meant, but he ignored it, anyway, the heavy rain had stopped. I won't have nothing to do to swim and play in the rivers, and there is no difference between Changgui and not following. After solving the physiological problem, it is time to take care of official business, gently put down the teacup, Chu Zhi stood up, and walked out of the inner house leisurely.

"I've seen adults. ”

Just a few steps out of the gate of the house, seeing Chu Zhen's figure, some of the guards on duty greeted him with a smile, respectfully greeted Shi Li, nodded and returned the salute, maybe it was an illusion, Chu Zhen always felt the attitude of the officials. It seems to be a little more enthusiastic and sincere than before.

When they came to the signing room, some scribes came to see the ceremony, and Liu Renzhi, the chief bookkeeper, said with joy on his face: "When I see the ruddy complexion of the adult's face, I know that the body is no longer in trouble. Then the lower officials will be much more at ease

, "Lao Liu's main book and your concern"

Chu Zhen wanted to say a few polite words. In order to show that Liu Renzhi cares about himself, he doesn't want others to finish his words. I saw that his smile suddenly retracted. said solemnly: "But please allow the lower officials to talk more, as the magistrate of Qiantang County, it is good to save the people from fire and water, but you must also know the son of a daughter." It is not reasonable to sit down.

After preaching for a long time, Chu Zhi's expression was a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to stop. After all, people are full of concern in and out of their words, all for their own sake, and they are right, they are indeed impulsive this time, and there is no regret in their hearts until now, so what is there to say.

"The lower official borrowed it for a while. Please don't blame the adults. In the end, Liu Renzhi realized that he seemed to be a little like talking. Only then did he stop, but he also understood Chu Zhen's temperament, and there was no horror on his face.

Waving his hand, Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Master Liu's words." The official wrote it down and will never do it again in the future

Carefully looked at Chu Qian. It seems to be judging that his words are false. After a moment, Liu Renzhi smiled again. He said, "That's very good."

"By the way, this official has been asleep for a long time. But they don't know how the people are settled in the city. Chu Zhen said. It's a bit of a divergence, but it's really a matter of concern.

, "Don't worry, my lord, with Fan Gong in charge, how can I go on a business trip." Liu Renzhi said with a smile. When the adults went out of the city to find the people, Fan Gong had already gathered the rich families in the city. After discussing with them for a while, they all said that they would provide shelter to settle the people according to Fan Gong's wishes, and some were even willing to contribute generously. Solve the problem of food and clothing for the people

"Really, a rare good person, Chu Zhen sighed, expressing understanding and sympathy for the plight of some people. You must know that no matter whether they agree in their hearts or not, but they don't dare to oppose it, it is better to be generous in favor, but sympathy is sympathy, Chu Zhen did not think of reaching out to help, anyway, their family has a big business, and it is not bad to raise a few more people.

"That's true." Liu Renzhi's smile seemed a little weird: "Fan Gong also praised them like this

After looking at Liu Renzhi and smiling, Chu Zhi seemed to remember something, and said lightly. Master Liu, yesterday was not, it should be the day before yesterday, the official found that the county government had a few errand officers who neglected their duties and slackened their work, so they have been dismissed, and you have recorded it, if the county government is short of manpower, then recruit more people to come back and supplement

"How many people are Li Mu talking about?" Liu Renzhi asked softly.

"Hmm. That's right. Chu Zhen nodded.

"My lord, they are also old people in the yali," Liu Renzhi said, as if he had the intention of interceding for them.

However, Chu Zhen has a bottom line in his heart, and it doesn't matter if he is lazy at times, but in a critical situation for the people. As a public servant, you must try your best to rescue, otherwise what is the use of keeping them, so Chu Zhi said with a very firm attitude: "Needless to say, this matter is so decided."

。 Xia Guan understood. Liu Renzhi shut up. sighed lightly in my heart, it's not that you don't contribute to it, but that you yourself insist on hitting the muzzle of the gun, and you can't complain about others.

"Also, the clerk who went out of the city with his official the day before yesterday was really hard and tired. At the end of the month, give them two taels Chu Zhi said, very satisfied with the ancient financial system. The county government has a treasury, and there is also a confidential fee for the county's expenses, which can be justifiably embezzled without worrying about someone checking the accounts.

didn't wait for Liu Renzhi to agree, and I didn't know where a suppressed cheer came, and then disappeared without a trace.

, "this gang" also does not know how to restrain themselves. Liu Renzhi shook his head and agreed as if he was helpless. However, when he turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and everything was rewarded and punished, this is the way of the emperor, and the means are becoming more and more skilled, which is really gratifying and congratulating.

But. Glancing at the direction of the torture room, Liu Renzhi sighed secretly. I'm afraid that someone is not very happy.

Two small things were dealt with. Chu Zhen did not close it, and continued to play the glorious mission of his humanoid seal, picked up the big seal that represented his identity as a county magistrate, and kept stamping and stamping the official documents that had been approved by Liu Renzhi and Shen Liao, at a rate of ten lines per second. After a cursory look at the contents, he immediately waved the seal. In a matter of moments, the official documents piled up into a wall were processed.

After taking a breath, an official came to report, "My lord." Too much to keep please. ”

It's just a postscript, and I didn't say I'd post it now, besides, as I said before, I'm still young and don't dare to provoke some kind of resentful curse for the time being. Huh (To be continued)
