Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Congyi got up early and practiced marksmanship for more than an hour.

Although he only learned one set of marksmanship, it came from the army, and he had a heavy killing spirit, and he was still very useful in fighting with others.

When he was in the mountains, it was enough to have a bow and arrow, and he didn't care much about the marksmanship taught by his uncle, but after he went out of the mountain, the bow and arrow were useless, and the gun that he didn't practice much before became a thing of self-defense, and after coming to Taihu County, he felt more and more the importance of self-defense. This is in ancient times, the public security is not so good, hungry and anxious, not to mention the roadblock robbery, the robbery of the house is also a frequent occurrence, but the strict supervision of Taihu County is rare, but there are hundreds of states and counties in the world, and there are a few like Taihu County.

Especially after being slashed by bandits from Tianzhu Mountain in Lianhua Village last time, Yang Congyi has become more and more diligent in his practice, as long as there are conditions, marksmanship must be practiced, and Taoist exercises must be practiced every day. Although it is dangerous to do fast fishing in the county government, it is usually to catch some chickens and dogs, even if the other party resists, you can also use the advantage of numbers, rush up, and directly crush and win. As for Yang Congyi's successive encounters with the bandits of Tianzhu Mountain, this can only be said to be his bad luck.

But in Yang Congyi's view, only improving self-defense ability is the most reliable, and relying on others is better than relying on yourself.

When he came to the yamen, Chen Ru had already left.

Chen Zhixian is going to Huaining to take office, and the officials of all classes have already received this news. I saw everyone talking to each other, the county lord was finally leaving, they had worked hard all these years, but in the end they didn't get any money, and some even had a problem supporting their families, and now that they were transferred, they could finally let go of their hands and feet to make some money.

Seeing Yang Congyi coming, the official couldn't hide his excitement and shouted: "Brother Yang is early, is this going out?" ”

Yang Congyi replied: "I just came back yesterday, what are you going out for?" Seeing that the expressions of all the officials were a little abnormal, as if they were very happy, which was rare, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked with a smile: "What good things have you encountered, everyone is so happy?" ”

The official smiled: "No, no, it's just that the weather is good today and the spirit is good." ”

Yang Congyi didn't think so, and said with a smile: "When the weather was good before, I didn't see you so happy, if there is anything good, tell me about it." ”

The official didn't reply directly, but asked, "Brother Yang, are you planning to go with Master Chen, or do you want to stay with us?" ”

Yang Congyi saw that he was asking strangely, thought about it and told the truth, and said with a smile: "Why am I staying here, I want to go to Huaining to see, it's lively over there." ”

The official smiled: "What Brother Yang said is that Huaining is much better than Taihu County. When is Lord Chen leaving? Brother Yang, do you know? As he spoke, the official began to inquire about Chen Ruyi's movements.

Lord Chen left quietly in the morning, and he didn't even know about the officials, obviously because he didn't want them to know. Yang Congyi thought about it for a moment, and said: "There are so many things in Taihu County, and the successor magistrate doesn't know when he will come, and it will be three or five days later." ”

When the official heard that it would take three or five days, he said with some disappointment: "It will take such a long time, we thought that Master Chen was promoted and left immediately." ”

Yang Congyi noticed the change in the official's expression and felt strange, so he asked, "You seem to be looking forward to Lord Chen leaving here quickly." ”

The official hurriedly said: "No, no, we want to keep Master Chen, but how can we keep it." ”

Seeing that the officials didn't want to say it, Yang Congyi didn't bother to explore, anyway, he would leave here in a few days to understand their thoughts.

Seeing that the officials were all here, Yang Congyi said to the officials according to the words explained by Lord Chen last night: "Everyone also knows that Chen Zhixian received an appointment yesterday and was transferred to Huaining and Zhi'an Qingjun, and he will go to his post in a few days. But there are still a lot of things to deal with in Taihu County, and Lord Chen instructed you not to go out these days, stay in the yamen, and listen to the tune when you have something. ”

After hearing this, although there was criticism in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, although Chen Ru was about to be transferred, but he was always an official master, they had a low status, how dare they talk nonsense, they had to say yes.

Yang Congyi then went to withdraw the pension money and food of the three sacrificed hunters, and sent them one by one.

As a representative of the government, he has to appease the family members of the arrest. Those who are willing to catch fast are not wealthy families, and those pension money and food in the yamen can't be managed for a year and a half, it's okay to say that there are no homes, it is difficult to have children and daughters, and without a pillar, they will have to suffer in the future, but Yang Congyi has nothing to do, he can only say a few more words of comfort, after all, people cannot be resurrected after death.

After the three families were pacified, they returned to the yamen, and it was already afternoon. The officials of all classes in the county yamen are still staying in the yamen, basking in the sun, catching lice, and waiting for the orders of the county master.

Yang Congyi saw that they were safe and sound, and there was nothing to do, so he didn't provoke them and went straight back to the room.

All the things, presumably Master Chen knows everything in his heart and has some arrangements, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

In the afternoon, she stayed in the room to practice calligraphy, and Mrs. Chen sent someone to find her once, saying that she should arrange the carriage and horses, and it would be easy to use in a few days.

More than 300 miles, men can walk, but it is difficult for women who are in the boudoir all the year round, and their feet can't go far.

There are sedan chairs and cars in the yamen, but they are relatives of departing officials, and it is not in accordance with the rules to use the carriage of the government when they leave, after all, there are rules in the imperial court, and when officials leave office, except for their own personal belongings, nothing in the yamen can be taken away, and it is not okay to borrow it. The transfer from the south to the north is frequent, who knows how far away the transfer place is from here, and if it is thousands of miles, how to return it? Do you want the yamen to send someone to fetch it themselves? Therefore, the imperial court stipulated that the outgoing officials could not take away a single plant or tree in the yamen for any reason.

However, if Huaining Yamen sent a carriage to pick it up, it would be fine, after all, the two places were not far away. But Chen Ru left early in the morning, and Huaining had a lot of things, where could he take care of it.

Therefore, Yang Congyi had to solve the carriage matter by himself, whether he bought or borrowed it, it was all arranged by him, but in the end, it was definitely Mrs. Chen who paid the money. Yang Congyi never used a car or rode a horse, rented a carriage, or bought a carriage, what the price was, he really didn't know, so he had to go to the street to inquire.

He was about to go out, but saw Guo Qing coming again.

I only heard Guo Qing smile and said, "Brother Yang, where are you going?" ”

Guo Qing is often in the market, and he should know about the carriage, so Yang Congyi told the truth: "Lord Chen is going to Huaining in a few days to take up his post, and he wants to find a carriage to use." You've been in the city for a long time, and you know where you can rent a carriage, and how much does it cost a day? Or is there a carriage for sale? ”

Guo Qing asked, "Lord Chen is going to Huaining?" When? ”

Yang Congyi said: "The appointment I received yesterday. I ask you about the carriage, do you know it? ”

Guo Qing said with a smile: "The carriage is a trivial matter, how long will it take, I will do it for you." ”

Hearing this, Yang Congyi was a little unconvinced, and asked seriously: "Let's go to Huaining for two or three days from here." Can you get in touch to buy a car, or rent a car? ”

Guo Qing patted his chest and said, "Brother Yang, I said that I will do it, and I promise to do it for you, and when you use it, there will definitely be a car." ”

Yang Congyi said: "How much is it?" ”

Guo Qing said: "Let's talk about it then, and then we will talk about it when we run out." ”

Yang Congyi said: "That's okay, I'll tell you a day in advance when I use it." ”
