Chapter 358: A Letter

Pan lingering naturally does not need to be detailed, the experience of the past two days, there are thrills and dangers,. QΒ5, C0m/Back to the county office, it can be regarded as completely stable, sleep very comfortably, until the sky is bright, the sun is three poles, Chu Zhi woke up leisurely, in the deep winter, it is in the south at noon. You can also feel the cold, and it is naturally comfortable to lie on the warm and fragrant quilt, not to mention that there are beautiful people by the pillow, and the delicate and silky ** makes people intoxicated.

However, the movement outside the room made Chu Zhen have to get up from the gentle countryside and put on two clothes in a mess. He lowered his head and kissed him lightly. The lazy first child with beautiful eyes walked through the bedroom screen. I opened the beaded curtain and walked out.

"Childe!" The voice of surprise is Changgui's face that seems to be crying and laughing, and it is difficult to suppress excitement. Hearing the news of Chu Zhen's disappearance, he carved the corpse and blamed himself. After searching overseas with everyone for days, I almost felt hopeless, but fortunately, the news of Chu Zhi's safe return to the government was transmitted in time, otherwise, maybe Changgui's brain was hot, and he couldn't think of it under extreme guilt, so he simply thanked the world with his death.

Despite this, but without seeing Chu Zhen with his own eyes, Changgui was still not at ease, and hurried back to the county government from the island, if it wasn't for others to stop him, he might have to break into the door and stay awake all night. As if suffering, he finally waited for Chu Zhi to come out, so how could he not burst into tears.

Without waiting for Chu Zhen to open his mouth to appease Changgui, Liu Renzhi and a group of officials hugged him from the side. He expressed his joy at Chu Qian's safety, and at the same time, some people expressed their anger in an ingenious way, and expressed their dissatisfaction with Chu Zhen's behavior of risking his life.

Chu Zhen naturally nodded with a smile, humbly accepted these cordial greetings or kind criticisms, and expressed his gratitude to everyone for their concern, and resolutely promised that he would never do such a dangerous thing in the future. This is also what Chu Zhen thinks in his heart, if it is not a coincidence, with his character of safety first. Surely they will not sacrifice themselves to save people.

It was lively for nearly half an hour, and under the signal of Liu Ren, he knew that he had something to say to the magistrate. The interest of the crowd slowly dispersed.

In the study, I took a sip of hot tea. The fragrance is overflowing, refreshing, and refreshing. After being intoxicated by the film, Chu Zhicai chuckled and said: "I don't know what Liu Zhuhe has to teach me, I don't think I got enough just now, so I'm going to do it again alone." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Liu Renzhi didn't seem to be in the mood to laugh, and brewed a piece of Xuan. said in a low voice: "How are you going to deal with Li Mingda?"

"Dispose of him?. Chu Zhen was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean?" What to do?

After a silence, Liu Renzhi said softly: "He's in prison,?。

"In prison? How could Chu Zhiting be stunned, and even the hand that raised the glass forgot to react, and stopped in mid-air.

After receiving Changgui's report, the lower officials immediately made it clear to Taishou. At the same time, he recruited officials to go and went straight to the island. It's a pity that I went late. There were already empty buildings, everyone was disappointed, and finally under the leadership of Changgui, they went to greet the adults, but they found the whereabouts of Li Mingda and others.

Listen to Liu Renzhi's statement. Chu Zhen asked in surprise: "Why, when you arrived, they hadn't left yet?" ”

There is a long distance from the island to the checkpoint, and the round-trip time is not short, Chu Zhen remembered that when Changgui and the others left, to the discovery of Shen Yao, and then to the two of them falling off the cliff, it was less than a quarter of an hour, such a short time. Unless Liu Renzhi flies with wings. Otherwise, Li Mingda would have fled the scene a long time ago.

Xiaguan was also a little strange, Liu Renzhi said softly: "On that day, Xiaguan and everyone went to greet the adults, and when they landed on the island, they found Sergeant Chen who was injured and tied to the side of the road

, heart thousand

Liu Renzhi slowly recalled that when he saw Xiao Chen's clothes dyed red and tied up with flowers, he knew that things had changed, and his heart sank, especially when he rescued people, he learned from Xiao Chen's mouth that this was Li Mingda's nest of thieves, and the thieves had gone up the mountain to besiege Chu Qian, and Liu Renzhi was even more shocked.

Although he hurriedly rushed to the mountain, according to everyone's speculation, after a long time, they all thought that the thief had left, or Chu Zhen had been held hostage, of course. The biggest possibility is that Chu Zhen has already "The thought flashed, but no one wanted to think about it. Panting and running to the cliff. The scene was greatly unexpected by everyone.

But for some reason, Li Mingda seems to have a gap with his accomplices. Holding a blade in his hand, he constantly threatened his accomplices and thieves to rub vines into ropes, as if he was planning to climb down the cliff. Liu Renzhi's eyes seemed to be touched. Then he bowed his head lightly and said, "I'll take advantage of the situation to catch all the thieves." Seeing that I was overwhelming, the thieves didn't dare to resist, and they obediently tied their hands and arrested, but Li Mingda seemed to be disobedient. actually wanted to jump off the cliff, but fortunately, the official was quick-eyed, grabbed him, escorted him back to the ya, locked him in prison and strictly supervised, and waited for the lord to fall. ”

Groaning. Chu said coldly: "Although he has been dismissed. But no matter what he said, he was also an official of the imperial court. And with your colleagues, moreover. Everyone knows that Li Mingda has a grudge against me, and if I am asked to deal with him, it seems that there is something inappropriate, so it is better to take him to the state government and judge him impartially

The lord was generous, and the lower officials respected Liu Renzhi and nodded again and again, expressing his approval.

Is it really generous? Chu Zhen smiled slightly, no matter what, Li Mingda has been operating in the county government for several years. With his means, even if he ends up now, there are still many people who think of a little affection, and out of the habit of sympathizing with the weak, they will inevitably have some pity for Li Mingda. If at your disposal, out of this. Concerns. must be merciful to his subordinates, I am afraid that the people in the county government will feel that they are mean and have no stomach.

But. Leaving it to Fan Zhongyan to judge impartially, judging by the crimes committed by Li Mingda, the fate can be imagined. Why do you do this yourself. Villain. The author is the most... The second publicist, Chu Zhen didn't mind showing a little tolerance in a timely manner, "Let's do this way, I will recuperate in the house for a few days, if there is nothing important." The official affairs of the county government also have to work hard for the main bookkeeper. Chu Zhen smiled, ready to be lazy in the name of righteousness.

It should be so, Liu Renzhi readily agreed, and he was very conscious of being a deputy.

After that, the two of them didn't seem to be willing to mention Li Mingda again, so they tacitly avoided talking about it, but just exchanged some opinions on the recent county government affairs, and chatted a few more words, Liu Renzhi got up and said: "Since this is the case, then the lower official will not disturb the rest of the adults, if there is any order, just order someone to pass on a word."

After being polite for a moment, Liu Renzhi walked away with a gesture of Chu Zhi, only took two steps, and suddenly turned around and turned back: "Alas." Xia Guan was confused,"

%, positive

"Well, what's the matter?" Chu asked.

"My lord, on the way to the sea, I met Shen Ergongzi on the way, because he was implicated in Li Mingda, so Liu Renzhi said cautiously. Secretly pay attention to Chu Zhi's reaction.

"So how?" Chu Zhen frowned and said, "Could it be that he locked people up."

Quietly relieved, Liu Renzhi hurriedly said: "I don't dare." It's just that Shen Gongzi was invited to the county government for two days

Being a guest is actually equivalent to house arrest, and Chu Zhen became furious after hearing this: "Nonsense, Ruida was coerced and forced to do such a thing." You are also victims, how can you be so rude?

It was the lower official who was ignorant, and Liu Renzhi hurriedly turned around and said, "Then the lower official immediately went to Shen Gongzi to confess the crime."

A trace of hesitation passed for a while, and Chu Zhilu stepped forward and said, "Let's go together." ”

In a room next to the county government hall, the decoration is quite gorgeous. The furnishings are complete, the table is full of tea and pastries, assorted fruits and melons, and there is no shortage of food and drink, however, Shen Liao's eyebrows are condensed with anxiety. Naturally, compared to the two days of remorse, worry, and pain, the current mood is mostly soothing, especially when he heard that Chu Zhen was safe and sound, Shen Yao had returned to the Shen family, and the mountain that weighed on his heart finally flew away, and he felt a sense of relief.

The only thing I feel worried about now is that I don't know how Chu Zhen will treat him, and Shen Liao is not worried about being imprisoned. This will lessen the guilt in your heart. is afraid that Chu Zhen will have a grudge in his heart, and he will not forgive the mistakes he made, just when the tide of thought is up and down. But I heard the door creak, one. A gentle voice came: "Ruida, you have been wronged

Shen Liao woke up suddenly and raised his eyes. Seeing Chu Qian, he immediately stood up in surprise, and then. But he was a little dazed, and he didn't know how to react.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't know each other?" Chu Zhen smiled, stepped forward and patted Shen Liao's shoulder: "The subordinate is not sensible and has entrusted you." I hope you don't get offended. ”

At this time, Liu Renzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's all to blame for the lack of strict discipline on weekdays, and it's really a sin to let these guys who don't understand the rules offend Shen Gongzi."

Rude Liu Renzhi's nagging, Shen Liao couldn't help but be excited in his heart. His eyes were hot, he grabbed Chu Zhen's wrist tightly, and said astringently: "You, it's okay."

Chu Zhen turned around with a dashing brush, laughed and said, "Haha, see for yourself, what can happen to a good person."

Shen Liao's breathing slowed down, and he carefully looked at Chu Zhen for a while, and he didn't find any scars on his body, so he was completely relieved, and a look of guilt appeared on his face: "Brother Jing Chun, I."

"Needless to say. I know how to reach out. Chu Zhen said in a low voice: "Things from the past." Needless to say

After a while, Shen Liao nodded heavily, feeling ashamed, joyful, and mixed with bursts of excitement.

"Today I am in a good mood, and I have ordered a banquet in the kitchen. I'm going to drink with Ruida, Chu Zhen smiled. Holding Shen Liao and walking out.

When Liu Renzhi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "You don't need your lord's orders, the banquet has been prepared, and there are only two people left."

The backyard of the county government, as Liu Renzhi said, has set up wine and delicacies, just waiting for the arrival of Chu Qian. Seeing them appear, a group of scribes and officials hurriedly hugged them, and they didn't bother much, only to raise their glasses to show their respect, and for a while, the courtyard was full of arsenic staggered sounds.

The banquet did not disperse until the evening, and his hand was on Chu Zhi's shoulder. The steps are disordered, and the body is crooked. If it weren't for the support and strength, Shen Liao would have collapsed to the ground, walking with floating steps. His eyes were drunk and hazy and said: "Don't say anything else", what will Brother Jing Chun say in the future, a word. The wind comes, the fire goes, and there is no excuse.

Chu Zhen also seemed to be a little drunk. He stammered vaguely: "Okay, the net is good" I will visit the house in two days, and if you have something to ask for, you don't want to "refuse."

"That's natural, just say something. Welcome"

Extremely drunk. As he spoke, Shen Liao became unconscious, and the scrivener who knew how to have a spirit called a sedan chair. Send him back, and Chu quality is easier to settle, a few people raised their hands and helped them back to the room, and then there was nothing for them.

In the next few days, according to Chu Zhen's calculations, in the name of recuperation, he was lazy for a few days and prepared something by the way, however, he underestimated his influence in Hangzhou City.

When he returned to the Ya, he was in Chu Qian's expectations. I should be called by Fan Zhongyan to teach him, and he has already prepared the draft, and he doesn't want the state government to have the slightest movement at all, but it is Shizhong from Qiantang who heard from various channels that Chu Zhen came back safely. They came to visit, and some literati also came to express their condolences

There are guests to visit, refuse, obviously not suitable, in this way, not to mention leisure and recuperation, but more busy, a few days later, Chu Zhen can be regarded as the end of the entertainment, and hesitate for two days, and finally, came to the turbidity house alone, and entered the living room under the welcome of the servants, at the bottom of the film, and to Shen Liao. Chu Zhen felt that there was something wrong with his expression, his forehead and eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes contained anger and fire.

"Ruida, what's going on, doesn't seem to be very happy?" Chu Zhen guessed softly, feeling a little empty in his heart.

I was thinking about something in a trance, and after asking a few words repeatedly, Shen Liao woke up like a dream, and agreed in his mouth, but he still didn't enter the state. I didn't answer Chu Qian's question for a long time.

"What is this?" I don't know. Chu Zhen simply turned his head sideways and asked the housekeeper next to him.

Carefully glanced at Shen Liao. The housekeeper said softly: "The son is worried about the affairs of the eldest lady." ”

When Chu Zhen heard this, his heart was like hanging a big pile of buckets, seven up and down, but the servant didn't notice the strangeness of his face, and continued: "Two days ago, the eldest lady went to Jiangning to visit the eldest son, and I don't know when she will return, and the affairs of the family are handed over to the second son, maybe just because of this, the second son is worried."

The butler couldn't listen to what he said. Chu Zhen suddenly felt a little blocked in his chest, and muttered, "Let's go, why are you leaving?" ”

Sensing Chu Qian, it seemed to be a little out of shape. The housekeeper glanced at him in surprise, but when he heard Shen Liao's face full of impatience, he waved his hand and said, "I have something to discuss with Chuzhi County, so let's manage you to go down first." ”

Gathering his thoughts, the housekeeper said with interest: "Okay, let's talk slowly, I'll go and prepare the banquet." ”

The butler's footsteps faded. The hall fell silent, and both of them were full of thoughts. But they don't want to speak, or they don't know how to speak.

For a long time, Shen Liao still felt that as the host, he should not be so snub to the guests. said softly: "Jing Chun, my little brother is in a bad mood today, and if you don't greet him well, I hope you invite Haihan." ”

"It's okay, family matters matter"

In fact, Chu Zhen also held his stomach full. But when the net came to his mouth, it became like this, and he barely exchanged a few words, and the two had nothing to say, and they were silent for a moment, and they laughed one after another. Gui, full of bitter taste.

"Brother Jing Chun. It seems that I have no intention of entertaining you today. Can I come back another day? Then I will confess to you again. ”

Only the honest Shen Liao can say this kind of words that are similar to rejecting customers and really offending people. If you change someone who doesn't understand his character, I'm afraid that he will immediately turn his face and brush his sleeves away.

Well. Chu Zhen nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and didn't even implement the basic farewell etiquette. It was very rude to get up and leave, however, the two of them who were preoccupied ignored it.

Walked out of the Shen Mansion in a daze. Along. Many servants saluted him, if it was usual. He was sure to be mild-mannered, cordial and friendly, but now he turned a blind eye to everyone's astonishment.

Walking to the street, I walked around with the crowd in a daze, and I don't know how long it took. Chu Zhi gradually came to his senses, looked carefully, and found that he had unconsciously walked to the edge of the West Lake, looking at the clear and clear blue water. Chu Zhen let out a long sigh, full of bitter feelings of guilt and unease.

At this time, there was a faint sound of small talk between the two on the shore, Chu Zhen had no intention of listening carefully, but the sound came from time to time

"Hey, there's been a strange thing in Qiantang recently. Have you heard? ”

"Well, is it a matter of Chu Zhen catching a thief alone?"

"That's right, I didn't think you've heard about it, but the news is still quite well-informed."

"That's nature, I have one. Uncle and brother. As an errand boy in the county government, he was involved in this matter at that time. ”

"Look at you proudly, others still think that you participated, but then again, I didn't expect a civil official in Chuzhi County to have such courage, just alone, he can bravely capture dozens of thieves, I really have to admire B"

"What's wrong with the civil servants. Hangzhou Taishou Fan Gong was also a civil official, not to appease the northwest. Deter Yikou and establish a great reputation. I heard that there was a popular saying over there, there was a fan in the army, and Xixia was shocked when he heard it

"Fan Gongwei is famous. No one knows. ”

After a few words of praise, the words suddenly changed.

"I heard. The eldest lady of the Shen family. The one who was widowed seemed to have been taken captive by the thief. And, for a few days. ”

"It's not a rumor, I specifically checked with my brother, and it's true."

"Well, that should be true, it's a pity"

What a pity. Chu Zhen couldn't listen to it anymore, turned around and walked away quickly, without thinking about it at all. I know what the two of them will continue to say, after all, in everyone's subconscious, a beautiful woman. Something will happen after a few days in the den of thieves, and something will happen.

, heart thousand

Gossip, people are terrible, walked to a secluded place, stared blankly at the cold West Lake, Chu Qian's heart seemed to be pressed by a boulder, breathless, as if he was about to suffocate, and his heart was stinging. Tears in the eyes, remorse in the heart, just now. Why didn't she dare to come forward to them to theorize and prove her innocence, but chose to escape.

Timely. A beautiful and beautiful girl walked over and asked timidly, "Lord Chu?" ”

Look up slightly. Revealing a handsome but slightly pale face, Chu Zhi unconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This is a letter from the lady to the adult." The beautiful girl said carefully took out the letter from her arms, stretched out ten green and delicate fingers, the envelope was blank, but there were a few words in the letter, Shen Yao,,

His eyes swept over the envelope, his eyes wide open, almost like a robbery. snatched the letter from the girl's hand. Chu Zhen couldn't wait to open it, unfolded the letter page in a panic, and read it carefully.
