Volume 1 Frontier Chapter 42 Doubts and Requests for Help

In the backyard of the county government, in the wings.

Cui Mei's face was flushed with excitement, and while making a gesture of swinging a stick and beating people, she said: "Miss, this is what I saw with my own eyes, that Zheng Fu was really ordered by his uncle to replay dozens of boards, and there were many people around to look at it, and he knocked people out in a while." Today's uncle is sitting there looking majestic! ”

Chu Yunrong didn't show too much joy, but just replied in a low voice: "I know, you have said this no less than five times, and I will soon memorize it." ”

"But...... But my uncle is really powerful today, I'm just afraid that you won't ......believe it, miss," Cui Mei said, and said in a thick voice: "Put people in prison for me...... Miss, those guys who weren't very obedient before immediately dragged that Zheng Fu out this time, and they should really be put in prison. ”

Chu Yunrong replied again, and then said: "Okay, you don't get tired of talking, I'm tired of listening to it, hurry up and prepare dinner, otherwise I'm going to be hungry." ”

"Oh......" Cui Mei remembered that she hadn't done her business yet, so she stuck out her tongue and hurried away, just looking at her appearance of walking out quickly, it was obvious that the excitement had not passed.

As soon as she left, Chu Yunrong's two eyebrows were gently raised: "He is really, he dares to make such a big incident, isn't he afraid that the forces behind Zheng Fu will be unfavorable to him?" Although she has been staying in the backyard, and even the trial in the lobby before was only for the little girl Cuimei to see and report herself, she still knows a lot about the situation in Guangling County.

What is the status of Zheng Fu's classic history in the county government, Chu Yunrong still knows something, and he also knows that he even has an inexplicable relationship with the garrison in the city. And now, Lu Zhen has actually taken down such a guy, I'm afraid there will be even bigger trouble coming to the door next.

"What the hell did he think? He didn't have such courage before, could it be that the days before his disappearance made him change his mind, or did he find some backer? But that's not right! The more she thought about it, the more Chu Yunrong felt that things were a little unreasonable, and then she thought of the change in his attitude towards herself during this time, which made her feel more and more strange in her heart.

But until Cui Mei brought dinner, Chu Yunrong didn't come up with a conclusion, so he could only give up. After all, she is just a woman, even if she has some knowledge, she can't do anything after all, she can't say anything. But there was one thing she could guess, this time the matter would not be settled like this.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunrong's heart felt a little cold, and he looked at the dark sky outside and asked casually, "Has he returned to Houya?" Because of the pimple in her heart, she always seemed very alienated when she called Lu Jin.

"Uncle has already returned to the study, and when I came over, I saw that there was a candle lit there." Cui Mei nodded, and then glanced at the young lady curiously, I don't know what kind of attitude she has, do you want to take the initiative to go over and say hello? It seems that the young lady also feels that her uncle is majestic, so she has changed her previous attitude?

It's a pity that Chu Yunrong just asked casually, and he didn't mean the past at all, which made Cuimei a little disappointed.

As a small border county, Guangling County is naturally not rich. As a result, the county jail's prison looked very dilapidated, not only the place was small and cramped, but also there were many damaged places, and as soon as the north wind tightened, there were constantly biting cold winds pouring in from those holes, making this dark place as cold as an ice cellar.

Such a harsh environment is too difficult for Zheng Fu, who is used to being pampered, at this time he has already shrunk into a ball, and he can't stop trembling, but he doesn't know if it's because of the pain of the rod on his hip back, or it's frozen.

At this time, a jailer had already brought a bedding with a pungent smell, and said to Zheng Fu who was huddled in the cell as if flatteringly: "Fourth master, please be wronged, and make do with it." ”

Zheng Fu smelled the sour smell, he almost vomited, quickly pushed the cup away, stared at the jailer in front of him and said, "Didn't I tell you to go to my house to get the bed?" Are you taking my words on deaf ears? ”

"The little one wronged the four masters." The jailer hurriedly cried out, "How dare the little one not listen to you? It's just that...... It's just that there are already people guarding the outside of this prison, saying that no one is allowed to leave without permission, and the small ones are fine. ”

"What?" Zheng Fu's body suddenly joined together when he heard this, but it brought him to the wound because of this, which made him scream again, and it took him a long time to recover: "This is also arranged by Lu Jin, right?" ”

"Think...... Presumably so. The jailer replied gently, but his eyes did not dare to make contact with the other.

"Okay, you Lu Jin, this is to completely kill me. There are also those traitors who eat inside and crawl outside, betraying the Lord and seeking glory, who used to obey orders one by one, but now they immediately fell to him, is it really when I die? As he spoke, Zheng Fu's eyes were full of hatred and resentment.

This appearance fell into the eyes of the jailer, which made him also frightened, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only keep his head down, do nothing, and treat himself as air.

"Do you think you can sit back and relax by watching me die? You're too self-righteous! Soon, you'll know what a mistake you made today! As he spoke, he suddenly burst out laughing, but the look of the jailer's embarrassment was like a madman, which made him even more frightened, and he just wanted to leave the terrible creature as soon as he threw away the futon.

It is naturally useless to just look at Zheng Fu to death, because there are other people in the Zheng family.

After the shift, the north wind became tighter, and the whistling sound went straight to the ghost crying.

On such a cold night, there was no one in the small county town for a long time, but a carriage drove steadily to the north, and only slowly stopped when it came to the garrison barracks near the city wall.

Then, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a middle-aged scribe jumped down first, and then, with the joint efforts of the coachmen who came from the wheel, he also lifted the white-haired old man to the ground.

When the three approached the antlers at the entrance to the barracks, a vigilant cry immediately sounded inside: "Who is it? How dare you trespass on a military camp? As he spoke, there were still a few cold lights flickering in the darkness, but he didn't know whether there were knives, guns or arrows.

The three of the old men hurriedly stood still, and then said: "Old Zheng Hai, I ask to see General Xiao Moxiao, and I hope that the military master will be tired and go in to say goodbye." As he spoke, he glanced at the scribe beside him, who understood and hurriedly threw away one of his purse bags.

The person inside opened the money bag and shone it with a torch, and then his tone softened a little: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng, you wait here, and we will go to report it." ”

Zheng Hai thanked him and stood still. It's just that the north wind is getting colder and colder, and it makes him shiver for a while. Seeing this, the scribe said, "Old lady, let's go back to the car to avoid the cold first?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Hai shook his head and said, "It shouldn't take too long, my Zheng family still has some friendship with him Xiao Mo." ”

Sure enough, after a while, a soldier came and removed the antlers, allowing the old man and the scribe to enter, but the coachman was left outside. In this regard, Zheng Hai is not easy to insist.

Accompanied by a soldier, they cautiously followed the path where there was still slippery snow, and finally came to a wooden barracks that occupied a large area. The soldier stopped at the door: "Bring the general, the man here." ”

"Come in, two." The person inside said casually, and his voice was quite thick.

Zheng Hai coughed lowly, and only then did the scribe lift the curtain and bend slightly into the room.

Although this house does not look very magnificent, but the inside is quite good, not only are there a lot of animal skins, but also a thick layer of felt is spread on the ground, and there are several charcoal stoves, compared to the outside, it is like a spring day.

A big man wearing only a single coat was sitting there munching on chicken legs and drinking wine. When he saw someone come in, he just bowed his head slightly, and motioned for the two to sit down: "Old Zheng, we haven't seen each other for several years, right?" ”

"The old man has been in poor health for the past few years, and everything has been handed over to his son who can't make a mistake, and he has less time to walk around, and I hope the general will not be surprised if there is a faux pas." Zheng Hai hurriedly smiled and arched his hand.

This Xiao Mo is just a general, and there are only 500 people under him, and there are still 108,000 miles away from the real general. But at this time, he was called a general, and he didn't dare to be a general, but just smiled faintly: "Say, why did you come to me today?" ”

When Zheng Hai heard this, he immediately got up from his seat, and immediately knelt down: "I still hope that General Xiao will be the master of my Zheng family." ”

"You...... Which one is this? Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, but he didn't mean to step forward to help, just sat there and asked. However, his two broom-like eyebrows had slowly been raised, and he could see that this time the matter should not be small.

After glancing at the other party, the scribe hurriedly stepped forward to help Zheng Hai up, the old man can't kneel often, just make a show.

After Zheng Hai sat back, he sighed and said, "Just today, my unsuccessful son was convicted by the county commander Lu Jin, and after being beaten dozens of boards, he was thrown into prison. I also hope that General Xiao can come forward to rescue him, and my Zheng family must be grateful! He said and gave his hand again.

At this moment, Xiao Mo's face really changed a little: "There is still such a thing? "Because it has only happened for a long time, and their military camp is relatively independent, the matter has not yet been heard. This made him feel quite surprised, Zheng Fu's status in Guangling was still clear to him, and he really couldn't understand how he ended up like this.

But soon, he lowered his gaze again: "This is not a good thing. I'm just a soldier, but it's a yamen over there, no matter how big my face is, I can't let the county magistrate pardon Zheng Fu lightly, right? ”
