Chapter 29: The State of Affairs
The sunlight fell through the corner of the forest and fell into the garden, slowly fainting, like a few plum blossoms that bloomed in the cold of the last year.
Chen Ji looked at the three little guys in front of him gently, rubbed his forehead after a while, and said with a straight face: "I've only been away for a few days, and you're tired?" Xiao Ran is a girl, and she is growing her body, but she said it in the past, Shen Qiu, Gui Chun, what about the two of you? Everything in the huge courtyard has been taken care of? ”
Shen Qiu said with a bitter face: "Young Master, don't wronged us. Why are there so many things going on in our family? ”
Chen Ji snorted lightly, walked to the bamboo chair by the pool and lay down, and in a creaking voice, he said leisurely: "What's the fun thing lately?" Let's be happy! ”
Gui Chun stepped forward half a step, and then was pulled down by Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu stepped forward, rubbed his hands, and said: "It's not funny, it's just that Gui Chun choked on eating eggs a few days ago, and Xiao Ran laughed all day." ”
Chen Ji's gaze fell on Gui Chun and Xiao Ran, and he wondered, "Really? ”
The two nodded, it was really fake, it couldn't be fake. Chen Ji didn't break it, looking at the worry in their eyes, he gently rested on the back of the chair, held the armrest and shook it, "Something happened to Fuxue, son, I came back to hide for two days, if someone comes to the door, just say I'm not there." ”
Xiao Ran stepped forward and asked softly, "What happened to Childe?" ”
"Hmm...... It's probably a little thing like a fight, and I'm used to it, childe. It's just that this time it's a bit troublesome, and there's no more appropriate way for a while......"
Chen Ji said lightly and changed the subject, "Xiao Ran will help me cook a bowl of porridge." ”
Xiao Ran nodded, got up and left. Shen Qiu and Gui Chun were beside him, but they didn't dare to answer.
Chen Ji sat up straight, changed his solemn face, and asked, "There is something at home?" Don't try to hide it from me, I'm not as good as it seems! ”
Shen Qiu smiled: "How dare we deceive the young master, it's really fine." That's right, Gui Chun. Saying that, he turned his elbow around Gui Chun and danced towards the eyebrows for a while.
Chen Ji sighed, forced his eyes over, the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile, and his voice went cold, "Really not telling the truth?" ”
Shen Qiu said innocently, "We didn't dare to deceive the young master. ”
Gui Chunsheng was afraid of making a mistake, so he kept silent, and nodded with Shen Qiu.
Chen Ji laughed, put his hands behind his head, and lay back, his eyes narrowed, "That's it." After a moment, he added, "That's good." ”
Shen Qiu and Gui Chun breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease. Then he asked, "Childe, what happened to Fuxue?" ”
Chen Ji crossed his legs and said indifferently: "I'm afraid that I can't help but beat people, so I'll come back for a few days." ”
The two looked at each other with solemn expressions.
The old housekeeper had already instructed him not to tell his family that he had disposed of the dirty clothes, and the soiled books were bathing in the sunshine in the yard.
"Forget it, you guys go about it, remember that if someone comes to the door, just say I'm not at home." Chen Ji's eyelids were raised, and he ordered: "If the person who comes is called Song Qingming, you bring him in." ”
Shen Qiu and the others had just done a "bad thing", and they didn't dare to ask anything more, so they retreated. Shen Qiu on the other side of the corridor glared at Gui Chun fiercely, and the latter was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
Out of the courtyard, Shen Qiu glanced back and said in a suppressed voice: "It's rare for the son to want to study hard, don't tell him everything at home." ”
Gui Chun nodded, and said aggrievedly: "But Xiao Ran ......"
Shen Qiu's brows furrowed, and he said, "I know, not every time you can be safe." Raising his fists, he could hear the crunching of bones, "Just according to what we discussed before, let's figure it out." ”
Gui Chun said firmly: "Well, I listen to you." ”
Shen Qiu patted Gui Chun on the shoulder, and then left one after the other.
Chen Ji is not blind, how can he not see the strangeness of the three of them, especially the state of Xiao Ran, the kind of panic after seeing him at first sight, even if it flashes, where can he escape his eyes.
In short, eighty percent is also similar to what happened to Fuxue, it seems that some people's hands are a little long.
……
The sun was tilting in the west, and he noticed that the bamboo chair under him was kicked hard, Chen Ji woke up and turned around, and Song Qingming stood in front of him with a resentful face. I got up with a smile and took the tea guy myself, planning to sit down and drink tea and chat seriously.
Song Qingming pulled a chair and sat down not far away, and his tone was not good: "Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for a day and I haven't seen you coming, what's the matter?" Feel ashamed and afraid to see Lao Tzu? ”
Chen Ji smiled cheekily, carrying a small teapot and preparing to make tea, "How come, see it." ”
Song Qingming snorted, looking at Chen Ji's heartless appearance, he couldn't get angry, "Lao Tzu is also idle, what to toss around, it's just salty and eating radishes and worrying about it......"
After Chen Ji sat down, he first asked, "Coming out of the wall?" Lian Jiazi? ”
Song Qingming didn't start, and got up directly to leave.
Chen Ji hurriedly pulled the person to sit back, and said, "Please help me if you have something......
Song Qingming turned his head and sneered, "You beg me?" ”
Chen Ji stood up solemnly, "I beg you." ”
Song Qingming was deflated, pulled the sleeve that was grabbed by Chen Ji, snorted twice, and said suspiciously: "I said Master Chen, what the hell are you fighting?" It's really scary, hiding in this deep house compound to make people a joke? ”
Chen Ji bowed his head: "It's scared, those reading seeds are so insidious, and people are so afraid." ”
Song Qingming felt a chill, took a few steps back, and let out a long sigh of relief to calm his restless mood, "You can't give Lao Tzu the truth?" ”
Chen Ji sighed, "I also want to tell the truth, but it's not that the enemy's situation is unknown, how can I tell you the truth?" Besides, isn't this begging for your help, please, this big guy is covering me? ”
Song Qingming took a sip, turned around suddenly, and walked away angrily, "Lao Tzu cares if you die." ”
Chen Ji's figure was flickering, and he rushed to the corridor in three or two, blocking the way, "Do you really want to see death or not save it?" ”
"Hey, aren't you alive and well?"
Chen Ji said: "I'm dying!" ”
Song Qingming bypassed Chen Ji, walked out a few steps, and turned back and said: "As the old saying goes, if a cloud person is cheap, he is invincible, and you can't die if you are so cheap to the bones!" ”
Chen Ji raised his throat and shouted, "I'll just treat you as a compliment to me." However, you don't want to know what the Lin family did back then? ”
Song Qingming did not look back.
"Lin Qingsong, Lin Qingbai......" Chen Ji shouted two more names.
Song Qingming stopped, rushed back, lifted Chen Ji's collar, looked fierce, and asked, "What do you know?" ”
"You want to know, probably!"
Song Qingming's movements tightened, and his two faces were about to come together, "Are you threatening me?" ”
Chen Ji nodded, "yes." ”
Song Qingming threw away Chen Ji, took half a step back, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?" ”
Chen Ji had already walked back, took a cup of new tea from the bamboo table, brought it to his lips and took a sip, and said, "I can't cover my eyes anymore this day...... Damn, you're fucking beating. ”
Song Qingming looked at the person who was swept out by himself and smashed in front of the flower platform, and suddenly felt that the whole person was much refreshed.
Chen Ji propped himself up from the ground, called out to Shen Qiu Guichun, who was about to step forward with a stick, and signaled that he was fine, but Xiao Ran had already rushed to him, his face full of worry.
"Remember to speak human words in the future." After Song Qingming kicked out, he was in a good mood, and finally understood why he was inexplicably angry when he saw this guy before, and he dared to be beaten on the other side. Suddenly, there is nothing unacceptable.
Straightened his clothes, sat back in his chair, and said, "I have to say, you threatened me just now, now that you know what I'm thinking, why don't you show some sincerity?" ”
"How about giving you 300 shares of the bookstore for free? Sincerely! Chen Ji rubbed his chest, walked over with his old waist, pulled a chair and sat down, and grinned at Song Qingming for a while.
"Business is business."
"It's business, too!" Chen Ji said leisurely, "If I hadn't practiced it too, I would have kicked you apart just now." ”
"Get down to business."
"Yes." Chen Ji straightened his body, sent Xiao Ran and the three of them, and pulled a chair to sit in front of Song Qingming to ensure that he would not be eavesdropped!
He suppressed his voice and said: "After the New Year, I listened to a lot of gossip in teahouses and restaurants and riverside chess stalls in Qingzhou...... Don't look at me like that, I'm not here to deal with the stumbling blocks behind the back! ”
After a pause, he said, "The Lin family's matter is an accident, and I'm sure you must know something." But this incident had nothing to do with you, and I wasn't good enough to wear a pair of pants with you, but since yesterday until now, you have appeared in front of me in person, and I have no reason not to doubt that you know these things......"
"Don't talk yet, wait until I'm done." Chen Ji moistened his throat, and his eyes gradually became teasing, "It's funny, going around and around, there is still a bit of inexplicable kinship between us, so when the guys who thought they were smart found the Lin family, there was probably a reason for a series of things after that." If you dig through the old accounts further, although you don't dare to kill me, at least you will ruin my reputation! ”
"But I'm a man, and I've always had a bad reputation. If my prediction is correct, what is most thrown on the case of the political secretary is all kinds of documents exposing Comrade Chen, who is patrolling the grain, and a large part of the grain tax is presided over by Comrade Chen...... How can anyone in this world patrol himself? It's not weird! ”
Song Qingming's eyes rolled, but he didn't mean to take the initiative to speak anymore.
Chen Ji looked up at the starry sky and exhaled a breath of turbidity, "From your point of view, you probably feel dirty, that's why you are so anxious to come to me?" Want to pull me out of a quagmire? ”
Song Qingming sneered, "What are you talking about? ”
Chen Ji shook his head and didn't care, and said, "From the twelfth year of the Apocalypse to the twentieth year of the Apocalypse, Comrade Chen has done something...... It should be a good thing, at that time, the entire Qingzhou, and even the Shandong Political Department were involved in some people...... The first few people who could handle it at the beginning were dealt with, but at that time, out of the consideration of the face of the imperial court, some of them were brought lightly...... What did you do in eight years...... Twenty years after the Apocalypse, several bigwigs known as the Qi Party, who have been in charge of the center for eight years, are either Zhishi, or they are unable to move to suppress the affairs of Liaodong. Otherwise, as early as that year, Comrade Lao Chen should have been promoted to adjutant of the department, and last year he would have entered Beijing, and he would have been able to get at least a third-grade waiter......"
Song Qingming frowned and remained silent.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Comrade Lao Chen should have been one of the Qi Party bosses in the next few years or even decades, but until now, he is still in the position of being sentenced by the government, and his career is so worrying that his in-laws want to regret their marriage!" Ridiculous, you say? ”
"These are all your guesses!"
Chen Ji puffed out his eyes and said, "Open the truth and falsehood in half." Under such a big premise, someone dared to attack me, and almost killed me...... For people like Lao Chen, officialdom frustration can't really hit him, so these people have a very good starting point. What the hell do I want to do, you ask? Of course I'm it! ”
Chen Ji leaned back, but forgot that it was not his recliner, and stumbled, really sorry for the bold words just now.
Song Qingming asked, "What does this have to do with the Lin family?" ”
Chen Ji got up and laughed: "The Lin family is rich." ”
Song Qingming frowned, "Even if there is money, the Lin family is not enough to do anything in Qingzhou officialdom, let alone such a big Shandong political secretary!" ”
Chen Ji narrowed his eyes and sighed: "The Lin family recognized an ancestor in the south, that ancestor is amazing, there is no shortage of officials in the past few decades, and there are successors...... If it weren't for the accident of the big guy who passed through Liaodong in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, how could there be a joint ascension of the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang? ”
Song Qingming's heart fell, and he defended: "These are just your guesses. ”
"Isn't that the way it is in today's officialdom? Would you rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one? ”
Song Qingming was stunned: "Even if you are right, what does this have to do with me?" ”
Chen Ji shook his head, as if smiling, and drew a big circle in front of him with both hands, "Didn't the Lin family look for your nephews?" Promise you a huge Cham State Mansion? ”
Song Qingming frowned, "It turns out that you are not useless!" ”
Chen Ji bowed, "Of course." Poked his head, "There are a lot of dry goods in this, but I can't get them out for a while!" ”
"You're telling me this, aren't you worried about me ventilating with that side?"
"Hey, you know something!" Chen Ji sighed, got up and moved, and it still hurt a little when he fell just now.
Song Qingming was speechless, it seemed that he had been deceived, don't look around, he didn't want to speak.
Chen Ji didn't mind, and refilled a cup of tea, "Grapevine, Xu Ge Lao has already left the capital on the first day of this month, and it is estimated that he should go to Tianjin Wei now, if he doesn't take the waterway, he should be able to reach Qingzhou within ten years!" ”
Chen Ji took a sip of tea, and his eyelids jumped, "Elder Ge was ordered to form a Dangkou Water Division in Dengzhou this time!" ”
Song Qingming looked over and glanced at it fiercely.
