Kelie's escape, Jinhong didn't tell anyone, and the only people in the know besides him were Li Yu and Li Siniang, but Jinhong believed that they would not mention this matter to anyone, this was an agreement made by the three of them to each other on the way back to the city.

Jin Hong actually didn't know why he wanted to let Kelie go, maybe he thought that others were not bad, so he was trapped in Yanjing like this, and he couldn't bear it, or maybe he was like his father, and he didn't want to let Yanmeng and Mongolia go to war again because of Kelie's death.

In contrast, Jin Hong prefers the first interpretation, because he does not think that he is the kind of person who worries about the country and the people.

Early the next morning, Jin Hong entered the palace, circled around Yan Changfeng all morning, and finally sorted out the belongings she had prepared, he took Yan Changfeng, Yan Changfeng did not bring Xiang'er and Ling'er this time, one is that the palace has its own rules, and the other is that she also wants to occasionally throw off her two tails and spend some time alone with Jin Hong.

Of course, the consequence of this is that Xiang'er and Ling'er crackled around Jinhong and said a lot, all of which were things to pay attention to in taking care of Yan Changfeng's daily life, which made Jin Dagongzi feel quite big, but Yan Changfeng, as the main owner, stood aside and laughed stupidly.

When they arrived in the north of the city, it was already past ten o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Yu and Liu Ru, who had been waiting here for a long time, finally waited for their companions.

Jin Hong was slightly surprised to see that Li Yu just brought a powerless scholar Liu Ru was slightly surprised, in his mind, a rich daughter went out, and she was a beauty who fell in love at first sight, so she had to bring a few first-class nursing homes with her, although this world is quite peaceful, but in case you encounter a robber along the way, it is not even a chance to struggle.

In fact, Jinhong didn't think badly, Li Yu also thought so at first, of course, this was before he didn't see Jinhong's skills yesterday, but after that, Li Yu didn't plan to do so, and Li Siniang also felt that there was no need for that, because as long as Jinhong was there, don't say that ordinary little thieves, even if it is hundreds of Humeng iron horses, there is nothing they can do.

Yan Changfeng didn't expect Li Yu to go with them, but it was clear to think about Liu Ruyi beside her, this is to go to Yunzhou for Liu Ruyi's business, if he is still in Yanjing as an important witness, this matter can't be said.

Liu Ru was quite surprised, he had only heard that the emperor would send the minister to Yunzhou to deal with the case of Chu Shouren, but he didn't expect that this Qin messenger would be so young, and it was the person who was punished by His Majesty the Emperor to stand at the night party that day, and stayed in the post house guarded by soldiers for two nights, and was picked up by his own young lady early this morning, and then killed all the way to the north city gate, and stood stupidly all morning.

After a few simple greetings, the four of them didn't say much, because they were also traveling on orders, so the government prepared a carriage and a horse for them.

Jinhong originally planned that he would ride a horse by himself, and Liu Ru was driving, who would have thought that Liu Ru was a weak scholar, who had never been in contact with driving before, but when he rushed to Yanjing, he learned to ride a horse, so it was changed to Liu Ru riding a horse in front, Jinhong driving in the back, Yan Changfeng and Li Yu naturally sat comfortably in the carriage, chatting about the private affairs of their daughter's family and enjoying the scenery along the way.

……

Chu Shouren's right eyelid has been jumping for a long time in the past few days, as the saying goes, "the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster", which made the county prince uneasy, and he had no choice but to close the county office, and led his wife and a new favored concubine to the countryside to "hide from the disaster", but what was publicized to the outside world was that the county lord went to the countryside to cultivate and plant and observe the people's feelings.

The architectural style of Yunzhou is very different from that of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, because Yunzhou is located in Yanbei, and half of the time of the year is spent in ice and snow, so the buildings of Yunzhou pay more attention to warmth, and the main materials used in the construction of houses are not those green bricks and green tiles, but are piled up with large stones.

If it is a wealthy family, they will ask some stonemasons to polish these stones into rectangular stone strips with regular shapes and deep and shallow chisel marks on the surface, because the houses built in this way will be more beautiful, and if they are poor, they will not be so particular, just pile up stones of different shapes without leaving any gaps.

A mixture of mud and wheat husks is poured in the middle of the stone cracks, and a little lime is mixed in them, so that the house has a strong constant temperature effect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Chu County Ya is the most luxurious house in the whole Chu County, is the result of the current Chu County County Lord Chu Shouren on the basis of the previous county magistrate's house to expand and expand, the house has a total of four courtyards, the first into the county government hall, that is, the county magistrate's office trial place, the second into the servants live under the people, the third into the Chu Shou people themselves and their family residence, but this does not include his old mother who is already over the age of old.

Because Chu Shou people are filial piety and become officials, so I think it should be to reflect their filial piety, so they built a courtyard for their mother alone, there is no old mother or his Chu Shou people's orders on weekdays, no one in the county government can enter this courtyard without permission, but Chu Shouren's old mother has to come out on time every evening to hang around inside and outside the county office, and there is always a kind smile on her kind face, which is much closer than her son.

If you want to say that some people don't believe in evil, there really is, there was a little concubine before because of the favor of Chu Shou people, but she had to go to see what was going on, but she went in that afternoon, and she never came out again, some people said that she was sold to a green building in the field by the angry county master, and some people said that she was punished by the old lady as a servant in the yard and was not allowed to go out.

Just after noon, because the county lord is in addition to the countryside, there is no work to be busy in the county government now, so the servants who have used lunch are very tacitly chatting and joking together, or quietly hiding in their own rooms to take a nap, and suddenly feel that life is actually quite comfortable.

In the third courtyard of the county government, there is some inappropriate sound from time to time in the innermost wing room in the north, Chu Shouren's family in addition to the old mother who lives in the fourth courtyard, there is also a son and two concubines, in addition to the ninth aunt he took back to the countryside, there is another eighth aunt in the county government at this time, and the first seven aunts and wives all went underground to see the king of Hades because of various diseases.

The innermost room on the north side is the room of the eighth aunt.

The sound coming from the room was very thin and soft, as if someone was trying to suppress it, and it was necessary to get very close to hear it, but it was obvious that there were two voices, a man and a woman, the man was panting heavily, and the woman was trying her best to suppress her voice.

After a few breaths, after a fierce symphony between men and women, there was no sound inside, and after another moment, the sparsely clothed uh voice and the man's voice sounded in the room:

"You've been deliberately avoiding me these days?"

"The young master misunderstood the slave family, how dare the slave family deliberately avoid the young master!" The woman seemed to be a little panicked, and there was a clear anxiety in her tone.

The man who was dressed smiled contemptuously, turned around and came to the bed, looked at the woman on the bed who was half-exposed and hiding in the bed like a frightened hare, touched the pretty face that still had the afterglow of pink, pinched her chin and whispered: "It's better not to have it, if I know that you deliberately avoid me, then you can't hide the fact that you stole ten taels of silver from me and gave it to you that dead ghost Xianggong entered Beijing to take the exam." ”

The woman sat up suddenly, and she didn't care about covering the scenery on her chest, and grabbed the man's hand with a coquettish face and begged: "Young master, you have to believe in the slave family, the slave family really didn't deliberately hide from the young master." ”

When the man saw him like this, he knew it in his heart, but he saw that his goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger had been achieved, so he didn't want to continue to embarrass the other party, so he shook the two great shores on the woman's chest with his hand, and then got up and walked away proudly.

Seeing the man who was like a devil in her heart leaving, the woman who was still charming just now could no longer hold back the grievances and fear in her heart, and curled up in the far corner of the bed with her legs and cried in a low voice.

This woman is none other than Liu Ru is wife Zhang Yanqiu, who was forcibly robbed by Chu Shouren, to say that this Zhang Yanqiu was not a hard-working person originally, her family is also rich in the local area, and Liu Ruyi's family background is the same, although it is not rich and expensive, but it can be regarded as a worry-free life.

Zhang Yanqiu's father gave birth to such a daughter in his life, although he regretted that he did not have a son to inherit the lineage, but he was also good for his only daughter, and she never lost a star in food and clothing.

After marrying Liu Rushi, because the two families are wealthy families, so the days must be developing in a better and better direction, in ancient times, women did not have to go out to work, mainly responsible for the family, so Zhang Yanqiu's main job after marriage in addition to preparing to give birth to a big fat boy for the Liu family, is to accompany Liu Rushi to study, take care of his daily life, and Liu Ruis did not disappoint her, and she got the qualification for the Beijing entrance examination for the first time in the spring qualifier.

The days passed day by day in a time full of hope, until the drought of Yan Jinhui's twenty-first year came, the fields were not harvested, and the family could only live on the pure grain of previous years, but the government at this time came to pay the grain and tax, and saw that it was about to be uncovered, so Liu Laohan decided that the whole family except for Liu Ruis would go out to help the rich to spend this difficult time. Zhang Yanqiu took over the job without hesitation.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that this seemingly good job was the beginning of her nightmare.

At first, I was not tired of working in the county office, as long as my hands and feet were nimble, there was still time left to take care of the affairs of the family, I don't know when I started, there were more and more things that needed to be done, and the time to go back was getting later and later.

In this way, a few months have passed, the weather has entered winter, it is already midnight county government, most people have been sleeping for a long time, Zhang Yanqiu, who has just finished his work, is about to pack up his things and go home, but he was blocked at the door by a drunken drunkard.

What are you doing so late? Of course, she didn't come to condole, so Zhang Yanqiu took advantage of the defenselessness of the drunk Chu Shouren, suddenly pushed away his body blocking the door, escaped, and ran back to the house in one go.

But sometimes, it's really people who are not as good as heaven, God wants to play with you, and you can't escape, and the unfortunate Zhang Yanqiu is the one chosen by God.
