After Deng Jingzhi personally made the endowment, the opening ceremony finally ended. If Zhang Hai is still at the scene, he will find that the Zhang Ling he knows is far from the real Zhang Ling, fake Zhang Ling and Qian Ning broke up peacefully, but the real Zhang Ling is satisfied, this day, she has been standing by Zhou Qi's side, and when she spoke on behalf of Shang Jia, she also bragged about the great achievements of the prefect.

"Lord Zhou, why don't we go back to the prefect's yamen together and discuss how to make the school run itself in the future, after all, the donation of the merchant can only last for a while."

"Well, forget it today, I have something else to do. Why don't you discuss it with Xuezheng first? ”

"Lord Zhou......"

"Zhang Ling, I really have something, I have to go back first. Li Bo, let's go. ”

"Hey."

"Miss Zhang." Li Bo stopped Zhang Ling at once, "Please stay." ”

"Is something wrong?"

"If there's something, you'll know tomorrow."

"Hey." Without waiting for Zhang Ling to say anything more, the guards had already followed the two adults, leaving everyone behind.

The two returned to the prefect's yamen, and saw Wu Yi and Aunt Li's son playing, Li Bo rushed over with an arrow, "How did you get in?" ”

"Master Li. Lord Zhou, I'll pay you back. ”

"What's the money?" Zhou Qi looked at Wu Yi suspiciously.

"The first time we met, I lied to you." Zhou Qi remembered the first time the two met, when Wu Yi pretended to be forcibly bought by a black and thin man, and cried that Li Laosi was terminally ill and needed silver to treat his illness. Later, Wu Yi was injured by the assassin, and told Zhou Qi all his experience of cheating money, Zhou Qi felt ridiculous at the time, and later did not plan to pursue it, let alone Wu Yi suddenly found out that he wanted to repay the money.

"Lord Zhou, but my money is all for my father, and I have no money on me, so I will give you an IOU, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

"Cut." Li Bo said disdainfully: "If you don't have money, you don't have money, we don't want it, you can go." ”

"How can that be? Lord Zhou, I promise you not to cheat money in the future, forget those who I can't find anyone, since I know that I have lied to you, I should pay you back. ”

Zhou Qi walked over, "What are you going to pay back?" ”

"I can work."

Li Bo planned to blast Wu Yi out, but now he didn't have time to mess around with her, but Zhou Qi said: "I am short of miscellaneous servants here. Li Bo looked at Zhou Qi in disbelief, "My lord." ”

Wu Yi refused first, "But I have to go back to Shandong, my father is still in Shandong." ”

"Your dad is doing much better than you. Two of my guards were with him, and he took the money you gave him and rented a courtyard in your hometown, and lived in it very happily, and went around telling people that you were prosperous. ”

"Huh? This Li Laosi! ”

"By the way, Wu Yi, I will recruit miscellaneous servants for two taels of silver a month, will you do it?"

"!"

"Well, let's get to work." Zhou Qi saw Wu Yi go to get a broom to clean, and said, "By the way, my guards will pay two taels of silver a month, and they will take care of it."

Your dad is here, so the money is deducted from you. ”

"Huh? Hey, Lord Zhou. Wu Yi hurriedly ran over, "Then won't I pay you two taels of silver every month?" Then I won't do it. ”

"Don't do it? You are all over Huizhou to inquire, this price is only from my prefect's yamen and Qian Ji and Chen Ji, you are not here, do you want to go to Qian Ji or Chen Ji? Oh yes, you can't go to either of them, so ......"

"Cheng Cheng Cheng, I'll do it, can't I do it? That, Lord Zhou, let's discuss it again? I have good physical strength, I can do anything, I have done all the work of the yamen, you can give me some money. ”

"Yes. chain, tell everyone, everyone is resting, let Wu Yi do it alone. ”

"Yes."

Wu Yi saw that everyone looked at him happily, "Then, isn't that going up?" ”

"Let's do it first." Zhou Qi was teasing Wu Yi, and He Qinian, who was delivering the message, was already standing at the door.

"Your Excellency." Li Bo was the first to see someone and hurriedly reminded Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi turned around and saw it, and quickly restrained his smile, "Come on, prepare the incense case." ”

At this time, Wan Ting suddenly rushed out of the house, "You take me back, don't punish my brother." ”

"Huanting!" Zhou Qi became angry all of a sudden, "You go back for me!" ”

"Brother!"

"Wu Yi, pull her back, if she comes out, you don't want to be paid again."

Wu Yi got the order and hurriedly pulled Wan Ting back to the house. The guards set up the incense table, and Zhou Qi bathed and changed his clothes and led a group of people to kneel on the ground to receive the order.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: Huizhou prefect Zhou Kai, in office for several months, do not want to forge ahead, abandon etiquette, arbitrarily and autocratic, negligence in performance, cause Huizhou business officialdom is not harmonious, outside the city gangsters enter, the upper and lower can not be united, the sacred heart can not be bright, the people can not live in peace, such acts, deep loss of hope, surrendered to Shexian county order, hope sincere repentance, Ming Zhen's painstaking heart, thinking, thinking. When the purpose arrives, I will go to work immediately, and I will do this. ”

"The minister is open, and the order is grateful." Zhou Qi slammed his head on the ground, and slowly stood up with the holy decree in both hands. Wan Ting blamed herself in the house to the extreme, Wu Yi looked at the crack in the door, and whispered: "Miss, Lord Zhou has become the county master, then ......" Wu Yi turned around, and saw that Wan Ting was crying with pear blossoms and rain, so she hurriedly comforted, "Miss, don't worry, you see that the county master is better looking than our Lord Zhou, and the adults will definitely be promoted in the future, he is a good official, and the people like him." ”

Wan Ting didn't feel relieved at all when she heard this, and only listened to Zhou Qi's instructions in the courtyard: "Everyone pack up their things and take up their duties in Hui County in an hour." ”

"Your Excellency." Li Bo was very worried about Zhou Qi, this was the harshest edict he had ever received since he was a child.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Master Li, the emperor has an edict for you." Li Bo hurriedly knelt down to listen to the metaphor. "The emperor asked, do you know it's wrong?"

Li Bo hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister knows his mistake." ”

"The emperor said, Li Bo, admit your mistakes very quickly but do not repent."

"Back to the emperor, the ministers will change the ministers. The minister will definitely stop Lord Zhou, and will help Lord Zhou to govern one side, worthy of the ancestral ancestral hall and worthy of the people. ”

"Your Majesty

Having said that, if Li Bo is unable to be loyal, return to Beijing as soon as possible to be your idler, and I will send someone else to fill the vacancy. Chin this. ”

Li Bo was half frightened to death, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor is aware of it, and the ministers will definitely do their best to live up to the holy grace." ”

"This official has turned around to answer the meaning of the adult." After speaking, He Qinian hugged his fist at Zhou Qiyi, "Two adults, the minister wants to return to Beijing to restore the order." Two adults, do it yourself. After saying that, He Qinian left, Li Bo knelt on the ground and just breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Qi pressed his head hard. Li Bo turned around and quickly explained, "The emperor asked me. ”

Zhou Qi glanced at him, "It's not like that." ”

Li Bo was not annoyed, and stood up happily, "Lord Zhou, although this will is strict, but fortunately you were not directly arrested in the capital, as long as you are still in Huizhou, there is still room for maneuver." Hurry up and do something beautiful in these two months, and the key is to restore the Sacred Heart. ”

Zhou Qi didn't want to say anything more, waited for everyone to pack up their things, and moved to the Yamen of Huixian County that night. This news spread quickly throughout Huizhou like spring thunder, and everyone was puzzled by the second monk, only Chen Mingyang knew the inside story.

"Mingyang, do you say this has anything to do with Miss Zhou's disappearance?"

Chen Mingyang just sat there and didn't say a word.

"In this way, my guess is right, this week the prefect is really not an ordinary person." Chen Qianlang sat next to Chen Mingyang, "Mingyang, you must listen to me this time, stay away from that Zhou Huanting." Mingyang, Mingyang. Even if Dad begs you, how long will your grandfather live? I don't dare to let him suffer any changes. ”

Chen Mingyang looked at Chen Qianlang with a blank gaze, and finally said, "I know." ”

Chen Mingyang was helpless, he thought that if he asked his grandfather to eat old food, it would be more sad than letting himself die, and he thought of the various punishments in the Shuntianfu prison, as well as the humid air, and even the smell of feces and urine in the air. For the first time, Chen Mingyang had a huge sense of powerlessness, he couldn't tell Chen Qianlang Huanting's identity, but the huge pressure of imperial power weighed Chen Mingyang like boundless darkness. He came out of Chen's house and went out of the city along the river, and the night slowly fell, and the pedestrians in the suburbs were sparse and hurried away, and even the birds in the sky had already returned to their nests. Chen Mingyang walked aimlessly, there was a river in front of him, the sound of the water was murmuring, and the white light shimmered under the moonlight.

Chen Mingyang saw a person standing by the river, with a cloak on his body and a red hairpin on his head. "Wan Ting?"

Wan Ting retracted her thoughts, turned around and saw that it was really Chen Mingyang, Wan Ting smiled, "I never saw you before, but now I can always see you." ”

"I don't know what's going on, but feel free to walk around." Wan Ting stopped talking, turned around and continued to look at the water, Chen Mingyang stood beside Wan Ting, "The city gate is about to close, don't you go back?" ”

"It's okay to go back."

"I've heard about Lord Zhou." Wan Ting lowered her head and said nothing, Chen Mingyang didn't say anything else, and the two just stood quietly. After a while, Chen Mingyang finally said: "If you walk into this river, you won't have these fears, but if people are not even afraid of death, what are they afraid of?" ”

Wan Ting didn't look at Chen Mingyang either, "I'm not here to seek death."

。 ”

"Wan Ting?"

"If I die, how many people must be implicated? I don't want that. Maybe Xiliang is not as bad as I thought. I heard that there is also a brilliant civilization there, and the people there also yearn for great unification and are kind to others, perhaps, it will be a good place to be. ”

Chen Mingyang lowered his head, he knew that he couldn't change all this, and suddenly, he looked at Huanting and said, "Huanting, since you can't change it, then these two months, at least these two months, let's have a good time." ”

Wan Ting didn't know why she looked at Chen Mingyang, "Didn't you say you liked me before?" Then I will take you to have a good time in these two months, like a little couple, and live well. ”

Wan Ting looked at Chen Mingyang for a long time, and the two stood and looked at each other like this, suddenly, Wan Ting smiled lightly, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Don't lie to me." ”

Chen Mingyang also smiled, "My grandfather has been asking me why Miss Zhou didn't come, so I should be filial to my grandfather." Miss Zhou, as a friend, would you like to help me? ”

Wan Ting choked up and said, "I can help, but I'm very expensive." ”

Chen Mingyang clenched his fists, "I am always willing to listen to Miss Zhou." ”
