Chapter 46 • The strange smell of familiarity
Although the newly grown bark and sparse grass roots outside the city are the most direct evidence, but those cannot be used as evidence to arrest Chu Shouren and punish him, so what they need now is material evidence that Chu Shouren is corrupt and perverted the law.
Jin Hong, who had no idea where to start, was ready to take Li Yu and Yan Changfeng to wander on the streets of Chu County, but the result was that Li Yu and Yan Changfeng went out to hang out, but poor Jin Hong was asked to stay and take care of Liu Ruyi, who might slip away at any time, so the time for a stick of incense passed, and Jin Hong was still sitting opposite Liu Ruyi, staring at a pair of resentful eyes, eager to crumple Liu Ru in front of him and then put it in his pocket and take it away.
The innocent Liu Ru looked quite restrained under the cannibalistic gaze of Jin Hong, and felt somewhat ashamed in his heart because he influenced Jin Dagongzi to go out for a stroll, scratching his head for a while, taking a sip of the teacup on the table for a while, and skimming Jin Hong opposite with his afterglow for a while, and then immediately taking it back.
Jin Hong rubbed his somewhat sore neck, probably because he had been in a position for a long time, and he gave up his plan to continue to be angry with Liu Ru.
"Brother Liu, what special snacks does Chu County have?"
Seeing that the other party finally spoke, the restrained Liu Ru suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, so he actively introduced where there was a noodle restaurant in Chu County before, which tasted very good, and the price was fair, where the wine was the most mellow, where the roast duck was crispy and delicious, as soon as he opened the chatterbox, he wanted to close it, and he kept pouring a lot of newspapers to Jinhong.
Jin Hong listened to this large amount of news, and very assertively filtered out all the things that he was not interested in, and only remembered the Cai family wine shop in the northwest of the county and the willow duck in Chu County in the east.
Looking at Liu Ruyi's expression, it seemed that the willow duck was quite familiar with him, and after questioning, he found out that they were neighbors, in a yard, most of the people who lived in a yard in ancient times were branched from an ancestor, so the surnames are often the same.
Liu Yazi and Liu Ru are his father are of the same generation, and they know that when they reach their generation, they are almost five or six generations apart, so although there are still some relatives, they only belong to the neighbors and the like, and they are not considered their own family.
"I don't know if his shop is still open, anyway, his family was quite miserable last year." Liu Ru was concerned, and seemed to be beginning to fall into that tragic memory again.
Jin Hong didn't bother him, and was thinking on the side, according to what Liu said, the Taoist priest can go to Liu Yazi to investigate, I hope the shop is still open.
While pondering, a noisy noise of gongs and drums outside the window mixed with a few angry shouts woke the two of them from their respective thoughts, Liu Ru was the first to look from the window, and the usually gentle face was angry, which made Jin Hong on the opposite side suspicious.
The angry Liu Ru didn't care about Jinhong in front of him at this time, so he stood up and rushed to the door, but was pulled by Jinhong, who reacted quickly.
"Jin Gongzi, please let me out, it's good that I didn't see him before, but now that I see him, I realize that I can't bear it anymore!"
Jinhong still shook his head lightly, he understood Liu Ru is current mood very well, this way has been very restrained, if it is himself, I believe that he will not be able to bear it for a minute and a half, but people are like this, when many things do not fall on their heads, they can be a perfect bystander, very calmly from the overall situation, decide right and wrong.
Jinhong is now a perfect bystander, calmly dealing with Liu Ru's every irrational behavior, and the basic reason why Liu Ru can obey his arrangement is not how reasonable his words are, but that Liu Ru can't beat him.
So now Liu Ru, who was knocked out by Jinhong, was lying quietly on the bed, Jinhong leaned against the window, looking at the guard of honor slowly passing by the street, and the four strong officials who opened the road in front of him threw the slower people to the side like chickens, and the action was quite skillful.
Followed by six knights, uniformly dressed in the light cavalry armor of the Yan Army, staring at both sides of the road with solemn faces, as if they were on guard against assassins, and behind the knights was the honor guard of officials, holding high the "Chu County Order", "Silence", "Avoidance" and other cards.
The two gong bearers carried a large gong, and the one behind him held a gong hammer in his hand, and every ten breaths or so, he would muster up his arms and beat the gong in front of him vigorously, so that the people around him would know that the county lord's team was passing here, and prepare to avoid it in advance.
Behind it were two carriages pulled by two horses, and you didn't need to ask to know that it was Chu Shouren's car and his old mother's car, but just as Jinhong was looking at these two carriages, the one behind suddenly made Jinhong's pupils shrink slightly.
Because there was a strong smell in the car, it was exactly the same as what Jinhong felt when he entered the city before.
The people in the carriage also seemed to feel that someone was looking at them with strange eyes, so they saw two white fingers gently lift a crack in the closed curtain of the carriage, and the person in the carriage looked at Jinhong's gaze, and then quickly lowered the curtain like a frightened rabbit.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, if you were an ordinary person, you might not know what happened during this period, but Jin Hong really saw the person in the car, which is the imaginary old woman in her seventies and eighties, but a beautiful and unparalleled Liji.
Jin Hong frowned, wondering if he was mistaken, it didn't seem to be Chu Shouren's old mother in that car, so who could this person be? Chu Shouren's concubine room? Jin Hong scolded secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this Chu Shouren's shit peach blossom luck was really good.
The eyes gradually followed the honor guard away, and the street outside the window returned to its original appearance again, and the people continued to do their own things scolding, and the slightly more daring ones secretly spit in the direction of the honor guard, but they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Chu Shouren stayed in the countryside for a few days, and his eyelids didn't jump, but the boring life in the countryside simply made this county magistrate live like a year, so early this morning, with the nod of the old mother, Chu Shouren couldn't wait to let the staff prepare the honor guard, and trotted all the way back to the county seat.
As soon as the honor guard arrived at the gate of the county ya, the county magistrate of Chu County jumped off the carriage in a hurry, and did not want to be supported by his attendants, and ran directly to the gate of the county ya.
As soon as Chu Shouren took two steps, several violent coughs sounded in the carriage behind, startling Chu Shouren who was running towards the door, and then turned back to the carriage behind with an extremely reluctant face and said, "Mother, when you get home, help you get off." ”
"Ahem......!" After a cough, a withered yellow hand slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and an old lady with an old dragon bell walked out of it, and slowly got out of the carriage with the support of Chu Shouren and the maid, and walked slowly towards the county government step by step.
Chu Shouren's heart was unbearable, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he had to follow the old lady step by step, slowly moving towards the backyard of the county office.
If Jinhong was here, he would have been very surprised, he obviously saw a beautiful woman sitting in the back car, and it was indeed an old lady who came out.
Sent the old mother into the courtyard gate of the fourth entrance, Chu Shouren was finally able to move freely, I saw that he didn't say anything, raised his feet and ran to the house where Zhang Yanqiu was, the people looked at the old man so anxious, presumably he had been holding back for a long time, but then again, the opportunity is strange in everyone's heart, isn't it that Aunt Jiu also followed the master to the countryside, why didn't she see anyone when she came back, was it left in the countryside by the master? It shouldn't be!
When Chu Shouren came back, it was just after noon, Zhang Yanqiu had just finished lunch, sitting in front of the window and preparing to be a female celebrity, this was the only means she could use to isolate the current environment from her own memory, every piece of clothing she sewed, every pair of soles she had sewn was according to Liu Ruyi's size, and these Chu Shou people also knew, but he did not stop it, but instead instructed the housekeeper to meet any requirements of Zhang Yanqiu in this regard.
Then he would deliberately appear when Zhang Yanqiu was a female celebrity, and then forcibly possess her when she missed Liu Ruyi the most, Chu Shouren liked this feeling of being loved.
The same is true today, Chu Shou people who rushed to the scene are still the same as before, and they can't help but take possession of Zhang Yanqiu, and let the knitted cloth overturn the ground, but this time it is different from usual, this time Chu Shou people tossed until the evening, and then let Zhang Yanqiu go with satisfaction.
Zhang Yanqiu, who was paralyzed, lay next to Chu Shouren so weakly, glanced at the scissors that had been knocked over on the ground, and then looked at the Chu Shouren who was sleeping like a dead pig next to her, but time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Yanqiu did not pick up the scissors and stab Chu Shouren on the side, not because she didn't have the strength to do this, but because she didn't dare to do it.
Taking advantage of Chu Shou's later relaxation to assassinate him, Zhang Yanqiu also did it, and more than once, but I don't know why, whenever the sharp weapon stabbed down, a strong rebound force appeared on Chu Shouren's body and bounced Zhang Yanqiu away along with the sharp weapon in her hand, for which Chu Shouren tortured her several times, each time making her worse than dead.
Therefore, let her stab the scissors at Chu Shouren, it is better to let her stab the scissors at herself, so that the certainty may be greater, but Zhang Yanqiu understands that she can't die now, because he still has parents in the hands of Chu Shouren, Chu Shouren once said that if she chooses to commit suicide, then as soon as she walks on the front foot, his parents will come to accompany her on the back foot, Zhang Yanqiu is convinced of this sentence, although Chu Shouren is not the kind of person who does what he says, but every bad word he says is indeed verified with his actions.
It's the same this time, although Chu Shouren closed his eyes and breathed evenly as if he was asleep, in fact, he was awake all the time, but he was thinking about other things in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt pity, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and for the first time he had the idea of resisting in his heart.
