Chapter 93: Wildfire
"Li Jiwen is sick." Di Renjie was silent for a moment, and suddenly said this.
"I know." Wu Chen replied lightly.
As soon as they spoke, the two fell silent again. Di Renjie wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know if he thought of something, or if he felt that something was wrong.
After a long time of sticking incense, Di Renjie stood up and walked straight out of the door.
Looking at Di Renjie's back, a trace of disappointment flashed in Wu Chen's eyes. This disappointment is a disappointment to Di Renjie, and even more to himself.
"What are you waiting for?"
Just when Wu Chen was disappointed, Di Renjie suddenly turned around and said, "Let's go, what are you waiting for?" ”
Wu Chen frowned and was puzzled, Di Renjie remembered that he was so engrossed in what he had just thought about that he forgot to tell Wu Chen. smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm tired of the big official Wu and I will go with me to explore the ...... of County Lieutenant Li."
"County Lieutenant Li? Oh oh oh, by the way, if you don't mention it, I'll forget about it. "There have been a lot of things in recent times, but Wu Chen has forgotten about Li Jiwen being demoted to a county lieutenant, and he still thinks that Li Jiwen is a county magistrate.
Thinking of this, a question suddenly occurred to him. That is, Li Jiwen is a county lieutenant, and he is also a county lieutenant, so this matter is very wrong. Looking at the sly smile on the corner of Di Renjie's mouth again, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Adults are not ......"
Di Renjie smiled and said nothing, just turned around and walked out the door.
Out of the room, Wu Chen didn't want to ask about it, so he had to follow Di Renjie silently and walk all the way to Li Jiwen's house.
Both of them were scholars, and their footsteps were not fast. In addition, when Wu Chen recovered from a serious illness, Di Renjie deliberately slowed down a few points. Passing by the lively shop on the street, he had to come up to take a look, and Wu Chen followed aside to talk about the situation in Weishi County, so in the past, the distance of at most a stick of incense, the two of them spent half an hour walking and stopping.
After Di Renjie visited another small shop, Wu Chen finally couldn't help but grab Di Renjie and whispered in his ear: "My lord, my subordinates just saw two bad people going in the direction of Li Jiwen's house. ”
Di Renjie nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I saw it." Do you know both of them? "It's none other than the duo who were jokingly called fools by Song Sansi in the past.
Speaking of these two idiots, it's also quite interesting, a few days ago, they inexplicably ran to vote for Luo Yong's men, but they ran back in a blink of an eye, and I don't know what these two people think, making wall grass is so open, it is rare in the world.
Seeing that Di Renjie still didn't care, Wu Chen suddenly figured out one thing, that is, Di Renjie was different from what he thought. This difference is what he lacks the most. That's calmness.
If he Wu Chen hadn't been acting impulsively, the trajectory of his life would have been different. At this moment, Wu Chen suddenly understood that the adult in front of him, who looked like a weak scholar, seemed to be really much stronger than him.
"We were going to see County Lieutenant Li, even if it was known, it wouldn't be a big deal. It's just a visit, where is the need to hide it? Seeing that Wu Chen's expression was a little strange, Di Renjie explained with a smile.
Wu Chen also figured this out just now, so he nodded and said with a smile: "What the adults said is true, but you said that we are not going to buy some melons and fruits, will it be a little bad to go over empty-handed." ”
"Hahaha, that's the truth."
The two chatted, bought some fruits, and arrived at Li Jiwen's door after a while.
"Why are you two here?" What surprised Di Renjie a little was that the two bad people didn't know what to think, and at this time, they were standing at the gate of Li Jiwen's house stupidly, looking around and not knowing what they thought.
"Your Excellency, you're finally here." Hearing Di Renjie's words, the two of them realized that Di Renjie had walked to their side and was looking at the two of them with a smile.
"You two are waiting for me here?" Hearing this, not only Di Renjie was strange, but even Wu Chen was puzzled.
"Exactly, exactly, the little ones are just waiting for you."
These two people spoke like squeezing toothpaste, Di Renjie asked a question, and they answered. I had to ask Di Renjie what was going on with them. The two of them suddenly slapped their heads and said in unison: "Please return to the yamen quickly, something is wrong." ”
Di Renjie's face changed, and his mood suddenly became a little worse. Said in a deep voice: "What's the matter! ”
This time, Di Renjie was really angry. If these two fools just said this to stop him from seeing Li Jiwen, he wouldn't mind staging a good show of killing chickens and monkeys.
"It's on fire, it's on fire......" Before the two could speak, they heard someone shouting "It's on fire".
Following the shouts of passers-by, Di Renjie also noticed that there was smoke rising from the direction outside the city, and it really looked like it was on fire.
"Let's go, go back to the yamen." After such a big incident, Di Renjie had to put down the matter of inquiring about Li Jiwen and directly ordered him to return to the yamen.
On the way back, Di Renjie asked the two fools, "Is this why you two came here to wait for me because of this matter?" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, it's because of this incident. As soon as the adults left the yamen, someone came back with news that the mountains and forests outside the city had suddenly caught fire. Luo Tou called our brother to look for you at the house of the county lieutenant of Li County......"
"Our brother didn't wait for the adults after looking around, so he had to wait for the rabbit at the door." After saying an idiom, this idiot is still very beautiful in his heart, and seems to think that he can say such things in front of adults very well.
Not to mention that he used the idiom wrong, even if he was right, Di Renjie was in no mood to care about these at all.
He cared about the place where the smoke was billowing in the distance. Now that the fire is burning, there is no place to draw water nearby, and if the fire spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Ahem...... Di Renjie was anxious, so he just cared about going back to the yamen to quickly learn about the mountain fire, and forgot that Wu Chen was unwell and couldn't go so fast. It wasn't until Wu Chen couldn't help coughing a few times that he suddenly remembered, turned around and said, "Senior official Wu, the matter is urgent, I'll go back to the yamen first." ”
After speaking, Di Renjie turned his head and instructed the two fools: "You two, stay with Wu Daguan and follow him all the way back to the yamen." ”
"The mountain fire is big, the two of them still follow the adults, in case there is something wrong, and there are many errand runners, the subordinates will walk back slowly, don't worry about it." Wu Chen shook his head and rejected Di Renjie's proposal. ‘
