On the way, it was quite smooth, there were no unexpected scenes, Zhuge Changyu stood quietly on the bow of the boat, looking at the turbulent river, thoughtfully, he thought: A few days have passed, Shen Zhong and Shen Cheng should have received his letter, with Shen Cheng's character, he should calculate the time when he arrived in Jingzhou; Seeing that Jingzhou was approaching, the ambition in his eyes was even stronger.

On this day, the drizzle was falling quietly and silently, like the silver filaments spit out by countless silkworm girls, looking from afar, Shen Cheng was really waiting at the dock early.

As soon as the boat landed, Shen Cheng walked in front of Zhuge Changyu in three steps and two steps, and helped him to prepare to walk under the boat, because he was too excited to see Zhuge Changyu, he actually ignored that there was an old man beside Changyu, and Doctor Zhong on the side coughed a few times.

"Oh, by the way, this is Dr. Zhong, a doctor of the Shengming Society, and I will respect him as much as I respect in the future." Changyu understood what Dr. Zhong meant, so he smiled, turned around and introduced it to Shen Cheng, which gave him a high hat and became the doctor of the entire gang.

"Hello Dr. Zhong." Shen Cheng saluted Dr. Zhong, but Dr. Zhong just replied coldly.

Subsequently, Zhuge Changyu and his entourage came to the Shengming Society that Changyu had let Shen Zhong establish in Xiacheng District in advance, looking from the bottom of the mountain, this gang is surrounded by a towering wall, located on the mountainside, facing the Yangtze River on one side, and there is a road leading to the gate of the Shengming Society on one side, the avenue is on both sides of the jungle and the hillside, and the location is very suitable for Changyu's mind, it seems that Shen Cheng was chosen to do this, which is the right person.

A group of people walked along the avenue to the Shengming Society, walked into the gate, it was the meeting hall, in this hall, neatly placed these two rows of chairs, there was Jingzhou's military sand table in the middle, the hall on both sides was a side hall, the side hall was used to receive visitors, and then behind, it was the living room, used to meet relatives and friends, next to the living room was the guest room, and behind the living room was Changyu's courtyard, Changyu also specially named this courtyard Xianyu Courtyard.

After Shen Cheng settled everyone, he came to Changyu to serve; Although this spring is already thick, coupled with the care of Dr. Zhong, Changyu's health is no longer in serious trouble, but the tiring work of the past few days, coupled with the damp and cold air of the river, Changyu's face is slightly pale, Shen Cheng saw Changyu's face, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Master of the family, you are weak, dinner is still early, why don't you rest first, dinner will be ten ten in a while, I will come and call you again." ”

Shen Cheng was very concerned about Changyu, and was about to step forward to help him, but was blocked by Changyu who raised his palm.

"I'm fine, just let someone bring a brazier, I want to know what the current state of Jingzhou is, I have to plan early." Looking at Changyu's appearance, although his body is weak, but time is more important to him than anything else, he has just arrived in Jingzhou, and he can't wait to understand the local situation, although when he was in Tianji Pavilion, he has repeatedly read the archives of Jingzhou, but the archives are just archives, and more correct information cannot be obtained.

Facing Changyu, Shen Cheng, as a subordinate, naturally knew Changyu's ideals and ambitions, so he didn't say much, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the brazier; He helped Changyu to the table and sat down, kneeling on the cushion beside him.

"This Jingzhou is divided into Shangcheng District and Xiacheng District by the Yangtze River, the situation is really complicated, as far as the Shangcheng District occupied by the Qianlong Gang is concerned, it seems that the singing and dancing are even, and everyone lives a rich life, in fact, most of the poor people in Shangcheng District have moved to Xiacheng District, as far as Xiacheng District is concerned, although the Qianlong Gang does not pay attention to this place at all, but the government still bites the people's money."

Shen Cheng was halfway through speaking, and it happened that the subordinate walked in with a brazier, and carefully placed the brazier beside Changyu, who warmed his hands near the brazier, and then poured tea for Shen Cheng.

"For us, the less the Dragons pay attention to the lower city, the more beneficial it will be; According to the information in recent years, the Jingzhou government has not made any harsh taxes on Xiacheng District? ”

"Yes, the head of the family, on the surface, the government has not acted on the surface, but the government colluded with the local bully Jin family to let the Jin family collect protection money and other fees here, while the government turned a blind eye to this practice, and then sought personal gain from it, making the lives of the people in Xiacheng District miserable, which is really hateful."

After Shen Cheng drank the tea, he continued, the more he talked, the more angry he became, and the killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to kill the dog official and the bully now.

Zhuge Changyu sat quietly on the side, rubbing the corners of his clothes, and muttered to himself in contemplation: It seems that it is time to find a way to deal with this Jingzhou prefect; Then he came to his senses, saw Shen Cheng's angry appearance, and asked, "I remember that this Jingzhou prefect is called Xu Tiande, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right."

"Presumably, in the months before I came, you had already collected a lot of evidence of his guilt through the dark line."

"This.... Don't hide it from the head of the family, although he has collected a lot of evidence of the crime of this government, but none of it can be deducted on the head of this Xu Zhifu, this Xu Zhifu can be described as quite cunning, and the signature of the criminal evidence is all his master. Shen Cheng said with a bitter face, hating this Xu Governor in his heart.

"It's okay, it's good to have incriminating evidence, and then we have to think carefully about how to use this incriminating evidence." As soon as Zhuge Changyu said this, he suddenly changed his words and asked, "By the way, hasn't Shen Zhong arrived yet?" ”

"Shen Zhong has already sent a letter, saying that it will be there in the next two days."

Zhuge Changyu picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and said lightly: "That's good." From his calm and crisp words, it was certain what Changyu should be planning in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky is as blue as washing, only a few faint white clouds float in the air, at this time, from the northwest sky, a seven-colored rainbow appears, and the blue sky, white clouds set off each other, it is refreshing, and then look at the mountains in the distance, rolling and undulating, very beautiful.

Shen Cheng came to Changyu's room early and wanted to serve Changyu to get up, but he didn't expect that Changyu had already gotten up on his own, and when he saw Shen Cheng coming in the door, he said: "Shen Cheng, you came just in time, the weather is good today, let's go to the riverside to enjoy it, and prepare for the construction of the dock in the future." ”

"Don't go, just arrived in Jingzhou, you want to move around, the water and soil are not satisfied, not to mention, the rush of the past few days has consumed a lot of your vitality, at this moment, you should rest more in the alliance." Dr. Zhong heard Changyu talking outside the door, so he hurriedly walked in with the medicine.

"Doctor Zhong, the scenery of Jingzhou is so beautiful, I just want to take a look at it, just a glance." Changyu also began to be coquettish.

"If you can't say no, you can't, I'm a doctor here, and I'll have the final say."

"Doctor Zhong, is this okay, you will let me go out for a day today, and when I come back, I will listen to you, recuperate obediently in the league, and not go anywhere."

"Just this once, not the next one." Doctor Zhong couldn't see that Changyu could not resist, so he could only acquiesce, so he handed the medicine to Shen Cheng and advised: "Let him finish the medicine before going out." ”

Changyu picked up the medicine in Shen Cheng's hand, drank it in one go, and said with a smile: "This Doctor Zhong is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. After drinking the medicine, I went to the river.

Although the day began to be clear, but the wind by the river blew, it was really a little cold, Changyu blew the heater into his hand, and by the way pulled the corners of the clothes on both sides of the cloak, Shen Cheng's observation was quite powerful, he saw Changyu's slight movements, and said: "Master of the family, this riverside is windy, easy to catch a cold, we have been walking around the riverside for a while, why don't you go back to the alliance earlier." ”

"Okay, let's go back." Maybe the wind by the river was really cold and Changyu couldn't stand it a little, so he didn't mean to continue shopping this time, so he turned around and left.

"Help, help!" At this time, a woman's voice calling for help came from a distance, the voice was getting closer and closer to them, Changyu and Shen Cheng turned their heads to look, only to see a woman with a dusty face and messy hair, about 30 years old, with a little boy about 10 years old, running towards them.

There was still a distance of about twenty meters, and suddenly, the woman screamed, was seriously injured by the five people who chased after her, fell in a pool of blood, and barely made a voice and said: "Child, run, run." Then there was another knife, which killed him directly, the child was not far away, looking at the dead woman stupidly, without crying, only to see the murderous butcher knife waved towards the child again, at this time, Zhuge Changyu gave Shen Cheng a look, and Shen Cheng immediately stopped it.

"Who are you who dare to meddle in the affairs of our Jin family." The leader of the gang came out and asked.

"It turned out to be the Jin Yujin family in Xiacheng District." Shen Cheng replied.

"It's good to know, don't worry about my family's business, don't get out of here."

"Oh, then I ask you, what have they done, and they will be killed." Chang Yu glanced at those people coldly and stepped forward to ask.

"His father owes our master a lot of money, and since he can't pay it back, he will pay it with his life."

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense with them, they want to be nosy, even kill them together." Another man stepped forward and said.

Subsequently, the five people began to attack Changyu and them, Shen Cheng immediately stepped forward to attack, Shen Cheng is not an ordinary Jianghu person, his swordsmanship is also a master, but he has to face five people at once, it is impossible to beat them all at this time, in the fight, those five people found that they could not beat Shen Cheng, so one person began to attack Zhuge Changyu, Shen Cheng saw that the situation was not good, but he was entangled by the other four people and could not get out, seeing that the moment of danger, that person's knife had already stabbed Zhuge Changyu, When there were about ten centimeters or so, the person's knife fell to the ground along with his arm, screaming in pain, it turned out that Shen Zhong arrived at this time, and while he was unprepared, he cut off his arm with a sword, and the other four people saw that the situation was not good, so they stopped and fled in a hurry.

"Shen Zhong, it's good that you arrived in time, otherwise the head of the family would be in danger." Shen Cheng broke out in a cold sweat and stepped forward to say.

Changyu didn't pay too much attention to Shen Zhong's arrival, presumably he had expected that Shen Zhong would arrive today, so he came to the riverside to inspect, only to see that he had slowly come to the child, squatted down to wipe the child's face, and comforted first: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." ”

I saw that the little boy's round head, chubby face, a pair of big black and shiny eyes, hair about two inches long, unkempt, like a magpie's nest, very cute, but the little boy just looked at Changyu stupidly, didn't say anything, I don't know if he was scared stupid just now, or was born a little sluggish.

"My name is Zhuge Changyu, you can call me Brother Yu, how old are you this year?"

"Eleven." The little boy replied in a slurred voice.

"And what's your name?"

The child shook his head, not knowing whether he had forgotten or didn't know what his name was at all, Changyu slowly stood up, looked at the flowing river, and then saw the white clouds reflected in the river, and suddenly lowered his head and said to the little boy: "Brother Yu named you Mingliuyun, okay?" ”

"Good!" Liuyun agreed without thinking about it, maybe Liuyun and Zhuge Changyu have a fate, or maybe Liuyun thinks that Zhuge Changyu is very approachable.

"Shen Zhong, Shen Cheng, you bury this child's mother well." Changyu turned around and said, "Since this child is no longer fatherless and motherless, and he is destined for us, let's go back to the Shengming Society with us." ”

After Shen Zhong and Shen Cheng buried the woman, Changyu asked Liuyun to kowtow to the grave three times, and then returned to the Shengming Society together.
