"Do you think there's something wrong with Master?"

"What do you think, he has been here for fifteen years, and the three magistrates who assisted him have all made no achievements and have not been promoted, and all the servants of this yamen are like that, every one of them is decent, even the treasury is dilapidated, after the magistrate leaves office, isn't this yamen locked by his master?"

"But the court didn't send someone to be the magistrate, and it's not something that his little master can influence, I think it's because of you that there is no new magistrate, and this reason is valid."

"It's also possible, but even if a new county order is sent, isn't he still a master? Under his 'tutelage', won't the new county magistrate still be the same as the previous three? ”

"If you say that, this master seems to have a bit of a problem, so I'll check it out now?"

"Go ahead, oh yes, don't startle the snake."

"Don't worry, I'm a master now, and I'll definitely assist the master well."

Zhou Qi laughed, "Cheng, Master Li, in the future, this official will all rely on you." ”

"Wrap it up on me." After Li Bo finished speaking, he hurried to run an errand. At this time, the master didn't know that he had just been fired and was about to be investigated, and he was drinking in the tavern sadly. There are also Huanting and Chen Mingyang who drank in the tavern, the two of them were in Huangshan for two days, in fact, they were already very tired, Huanting felt that all the negative energy had been released, and now her mood was much better, but the two didn't want to go home, so they found a tavern and planned not to get drunk and not return.

Wan Ting was a little drunk and confused, and coupled with the fatigue of the past two days, she felt that her mind was swollen and her behavior was uncontrollable. "Chen Mingyang."

"Huh?"

"I like you so much."

"Haha, I know."

"Why don't you like me?"

Chen Mingyang also drank too much, and put one hand on the table to support his head, "I like you." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Wan Ting smiled bitterly twice, "You are talking nonsense." ”

"Wan Ting." Chen Mingyang took Wan Ting's hand, stared at Wan Ting's eyes and said, "I like you, I Chen Mingyang likes you Zhou Huanting." Wan Ting felt suddenly sober, and when she heard Chen Mingyang say this, a huge pathos struck again, and she didn't know what to do for a while. But Chen Mingyang continued: "If my father hadn't asked me to go into the city to avoid you, I wouldn't have known that I liked you. But yes, you are chattering every day, you are brutal and willful, I don't even know what I like about you. ”

"Hmph, yes, who would like someone like me?"

"Me. I like you, you used to be honest and clingy to me, I think you are so annoying, do you know it? You're really annoying, but then you're gone, and I always feel like there's something missing. Chen Mingyang sat up slightly and got a little closer to Huanting, "Do you know it, I thought about it in prison, don't say I don't know where you are, even I know, I will never tell others, I must not let them find you, I don't want to, I don't want to." ”

"It's not your fault."

"Why don't you blame me? I'm just a, I went to your house and got caught by them, you know? I have my own martial arts, but I just can't beat them, I just haven't. Said Chen Mingyang

lowered his head and cried, "If only I had been a little stronger, at least I could run away, so that you wouldn't fall back into the net, and you would be free, where you wanted, who you wanted to marry, who you wanted." Chen Mingyang looked at Huanting with red eyes, "Do you know? You will definitely meet a good man who knows how to cherish you and is willing to protect you, even if you are rude and willful, he will not be impatient with you, and he will protect you well, so that you will be happy and happy for the rest of your life. Chen Mingyang touched Wan Ting's cheek, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have been with you earlier, we should have been together earlier." ”

Wan Ting suddenly shed a tear, and she didn't even dare to look at Chen Mingyang anymore, Wan Ting withdrew her hand, "You drank too much, let's go back." ”

"I didn't drink much."

"Okay, you haven't drunk much, then let's go back too, I'm a little tired." Wan Ting stood up and helped Chen Mingyang, "I'll send you home, go back to your house, we can drink more." ”

"Okay." Chen Mingyang finally stood up and let Wan Ting help him walk towards Chen's house. As soon as Chen Ji arrived, Chen Qianlang rushed out, "Chen Mingyang, Mingyang." Chen Qianlang saw that Wan Ting had been looking at Chen Mingyang, and knew that the two of them must be broken, "Miss Zhou, let's take care of him ourselves, thank you Miss Zhou for sending the dog back." ”

"Okay, just have you take care of him, I'll leave first."

"Hey, don't go." Chen Mingyang grabbed Wan Ting, "Don't go, grandpa is still talking about you, grandpa has been thinking about you." Father. Hey, Dad, why did you come out? ”

"Why did I come out, you hurry up and let me go back and let Miss Zhou go back."

"Is that okay? We haven't drunk it yet. ”

"Still drinking! What are you drinking? ”

"I didn't drink much!" Chen Mingyang stood up straight all of a sudden, intending to prove to Chen Qianlang that he didn't drink too much, "Look, I didn't drink too much." ”

"Cheng Chengcheng, I didn't drink much, but it's not early, Miss Zhou has to go home, see you tomorrow."

"Huh? See you tomorrow? Wan Ting, Wan Ting. Come tomorrow, I'll take you to play at my house, my grandfather misses you. ”

"Okay, I'll be here tomorrow." Wan Ting didn't want to care what Chen Qianlang thought, she felt that there were only two months left anyway, and it would be good to live every day, as for Chen Mingyang, she didn't think about it anymore, she hoped that she could live well.

"Hey, Miss Zhou." Chen Qianlang was about to persuade Chen Mingyang while helping him.

"Boss Chen, don't worry, I don't want to mess around, I don't want anything else, I and Chen Mingyang are friends, I was too willful some time ago, I don't want him to be so miserable because of me, so I will talk to him well, let him forget me and live well." After speaking, Wan Ting turned around and left, Chen Mingyang was still shouting loudly, "Come tomorrow, I'll wait for you." Chen Qianlang hurriedly straightened Chen Mingyang, and the little guys also came to help, and finally entered the house. Chen Mingyang fell asleep on the bed, Chen Qianlang looked at Chen Mingyang and felt very distressed, his son has always been open-minded, but now he tortures himself so much for Zhou Huanting, and he is still drunk like this, the key is that even if the two of them are concubines

What can I do? Although Chen Mingyang refused to tell himself Zhou Huanting's identity, Chen Qianlang has always had insight into people's hearts, and he can roughly guess that the Zhou family is connected to the royal family, and the affairs of the royal family are no trivial matter, even if he is the best among the Hui merchants, how can he compete with the royal family? Moreover, as soon as Zhou Huanting disappeared, Chen Mingyang was imprisoned in the Shuntianfu prison, she ran away from the capital, and Zhou Zhuangfu was demoted to the magistrate, which shows that Zhou Huanting is very important, she can't have any accidents, she must go back to the capital.

Chen Qianlang sat next to Chen Mingyang, "Mingyang, Dad knows that you like Miss Zhou, and she likes you too, but what can you do?" Shinong business and business, we businessmen are the last in this big week, even in this world, you should forget her, forget that she is good to everyone. Chen Mingyang fell asleep, Chen Qianlang knew that he couldn't hear, so he turned around and chased after Huanting, and just when Huanting was about to enter the county office, Chen Qianlang finally caught up with her. Miss Zhou. ”

"Boss Chen?"

"Miss Zhou." Chen Qianlang knelt at Wan Ting's feet with a puff, "Miss Zhou, although Chen Mingyang didn't tell me, I guess you must be a dignitary, and your status is not ordinary, if you have any mistakes, our Chen family really can't afford such a big responsibility." Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou, even if I beg you, I, as long as you have any requirements, you can mention, I must, no, we will try our best to satisfy you, Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou......"

Seeing him like this, Wan Ting didn't feel good in her heart, and just wanted to say something, Zhou Qi walked out of the yamen and asked coldly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Oh, Lord Zhou." Chen Qianlang hurriedly turned to Zhou Qi, "Lord Zhou, I beg you, let Chen Mingyang go, Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Qi didn't know why he looked at Wan Ting, and when he saw her red eyes and lowered her head, he came up angrily, "Presumptuous!" You don't look at what kind of place this is, and you can't be allowed to make a noise here. ”

"Lord Zhou, Chen Mingyang has already been in the cell for Miss Zhou once, my father is very old, if something happens to him again, how can we live. Lord Zhou, you are the most sensible, please persuade Miss Zhou not to meet Chen Mingyang again. ”

"Don't play, it's Chen Mingyang who was saved by my sister, without my sister, Chen Mingyang is still in the Shuntianfu prison, what's the matter? When he returned to Huizhou, you felt that he was safe, and he was busy drawing a line with our Zhou family, right? ”

"No, Lord Zhou, this, no, Lord Zhou."

"That's because you think that the official has changed from the prefect to the county, and your Chen family should draw a clear line with our Zhou family, right?"

"No, Lord Zhou is dedicated to the public, everyone sees these in their eyes, no matter whether the adult is the prefect or the county, the small people are all the same respectful people."

"That's good. This official clearly told you today, no matter what my sister does, you better stay with me, if you cooperate well, this official will ensure that you Chen Ji is fine, otherwise, this official as the head of a county can also make you Chen Ji look good. ”

"Your Excellency, you can't be unreasonable."

"Unreasonable? Hmph, this official is just unreasonable. Grace, we

Walk! Saying that, Zhou Qi pulled Wan Ting into the prefect's yamen, Wan Ting looked back at Chen Qianlang, he was surprised, as soon as the door was closed, Wan Ting said to Zhou Qi: "Brother, forget it." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow, I'll ......"

"Shut up!"

"Brother!" Wan Ting suddenly said loudly: "Don't you still understand? My father is determined to marry me to Xiliang, and I have no way out. Originally, Chen Mingyang said that he would live well in the past two months, but now it seems that he can't. ”

"Wan Ting." Zhou Qi was very heartbroken, he touched Wan Ting's head and said: "Brother will definitely protect you, even if you marry Xiliang, my brother will definitely bring you home safely." ”
