After carrying Tana into the room, helping her light the oil lamp on the table, pouring another cup of tea, and gently placing it next to her bed, Yang Chen was a little surprised to find that the eyes of this woman who had been very strong along the way were actually red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, which seemed to be likely to flow down at any time.

"Miss Tana, what are you ......" Yang Chen couldn't help but ask curiously. It's okay that he didn't ask, but under this question, two clear tears flowed down her smooth cheeks, which made Yang Chen even more at a loss, and it was not good to just turn around and leave, and quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.

Tana took the handkerchief casually, her heart was warm, and she subconsciously asked, "Yang Da...... Brother Yang, am I useless? ”

"What do you mean by that? If even you are useless, then my Ming women will be ashamed of themselves, they are not as strong as you, they can cross the whole grassland and bring their people here. Yang Chen hurriedly comforted him.

"But it's because of me that we, the Tasu Division, will ...... Along the way, many of my clansmen had to turn around and fight against the people of Bohur in order to protect me, and all of them died on the steppe. If I really have some use, it won't be like this. Tana said with reproach.

In the hazy state of drunkenness, some of the thoughts that had been hidden deep in her heart had been completely turned over, and the deep sense of powerlessness and guilt completely invaded Tana's somewhat fragile heart, which made her behave so unusually. Yang Chen also gradually understood this, so he comforted him earnestly: "Actually, you have done a good job, and there are even few people who can do better than you in this situation. Now you have to think not of self-blame, but to look forward and let those who have given for you, even sacrificing their lives, know that everything you have done is worth it. Your guilt for them should be transformed into motivation to move forward! ”

"But...... I don't even know what I can do now......"

"Aren't you doing the right thing right now? As long as you help the chief system dig out the corrupt officials in Biguan County this time, you and your people will make another contribution to my Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court will definitely not treat you badly, even if it is possible to set aside a grassland for you to multiply on the edge of the Great Wall. Yang Chen said, shook off the quilt from the bed again, and gently covered her body: "Don't be cranky now, sleep well, tomorrow will be a new day." Only after saying this did he turn and go out of the door, and gently closed the door for her again.

It wasn't until he left that Tana's expression softened slightly, and then her sadness was replaced by a look of shame. This man gave him a sense of security and intimacy that those rough horsemen on the grassland did not have in the past, and she felt that she wanted to be closer to him...... She knew that she was moved.

Yang Chen didn't know that his words and actions would make the Mongolian girl who was more than ten years younger than him have feelings for him, and what he was most concerned about now was the next big thing.

Although the most critical first step has been taken, and they have entered the bias level, it is still difficult to find out about the corruption case. Not to mention that they are now counted as outsiders, but Zhu Xuan, the county magistrate who has been here for a while, has no way to deal with the corrupt officials here?

While looking down and thinking about how to act, Yang Chen had already subconsciously come to his guest room. It's just that after pushing the door open, he was stunned, because there was actually an oil lamp lit inside, and one person was still sitting at the table looking at him with a smile.

But when he looked closely, his heart quickly fell back, because this man with a messy beard was pretended by Ding Yueqian. At this moment, Mr. Ding Qian was looking him up and down with some strange eyes, and then stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up: "Lord Yang, you are really good, I really admire Lao Ding." ”

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? Yang Chen closed the door, came to the table and sat down, and then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea to relieve his hangover.

"Do you dare to say you don't understand? The people we were watching from the side already knew that that Mongolian chick was very interesting to you. Ding Yueqian sighed a few times in admiration: "I said that when Naqingle refused to take the risk to come to the Eccentric Pass, why did the chick suddenly insist on coming, it turns out that she is not only for repaying her kindness, but also for you." ”

Yang Chen's face turned red when he said this: "Mr. Ding Qian, don't you contact me indiscriminately, this is going to get out, my Yang Chen is a big man, it's nothing, but Miss Tana is a woman after all, and her reputation is ......."

"What a reputation, you two are alone in the same room, which is in the eyes of many people." Ding Yueqian smiled, and then reached out and patted Yang Chen's shoulder: "Lord Yang, Lao Ding is optimistic about you, don't lose my face as a Ming man." ”

"You ......" Yang Chen was completely speechless to him, so he could only shake his head, no longer continuing the topic, but changing the conversation: "Mr. Ding Qian, what do you think we should do next?" ”

As soon as he got to the point, the ridicule on Ding Yueqian's face also fell, and he frowned slightly: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult to do, with our identity, it is impossible to ask that Lei Ming on the side, do you know if anyone is embezzling the military funds for repairing the city?" I'm afraid even he has a part in it. ”

"That's right, so we had to find an entry point, at least something that we have access to as we are now." Yang Chen also knew that it would be difficult to discuss a result with Ding Yueqian, a general who only knew how to lead troops to fight, so he was still talking to him like this, more just to bring an idea.

Ding Yueqian shook his head blankly: "My old Ding Ke can't give an idea about this matter." If I go into battle to kill the enemy, but I can investigate the case, I can only do what I am told. ”

"Investigation ......" Ding Yueqian's unintentional words made Yang Chen's heart move suddenly: "Yes, it is to investigate the case!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that he was a little excited, Ding Yueqian felt quite strange and asked casually.

"That's why I had that experience, in the final analysis, because I went to investigate the murder of Chen Zhigao. Although Mr. Yang mentioned that there was a problem with the account book, the case itself was worth investigating. Since we can't find a place to start now, let me continue to dig down this clue and see if I can find something else. Yang Chen's expression was solemn.

"It's almost a month or two since this case, right? Can you find out the clues like this? Ding Yueqian asked with some suspicion.

Yang Chen said: "As long as you are willing to investigate with your heart, let alone a month or two, even a case from a year or two ago can find clues." What's more, in addition to the murder of Chen Zhigao, there is another case. As he spoke, his mind flashed the appearance of the women of the Chen family, who were also killed in their own homes, maybe they could find something there.

Seeing that he was so determined, Ding Yueqian naturally didn't say anything, so he said: "In this case, even if you go to investigate, where is it useful to us, just ask." ”

"Don't worry, there will always be a time when it will be useful to you. By the way, you will leave this pavilion with me tomorrow and go around the city, and at the same time keep an eye on it to see where that person will live......" Yang Chen suddenly had an idea and said casually.

Although he didn't say the name or identity of that person directly, Ding Yueqian quickly understood, and nodded solemnly: "I understand, this little thing is still difficult for our brothers." Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he smiled a little obscenely: "By the way, tomorrow you want to go with that Mongolian girl......

"You...... When it comes to business, don't laugh. Yang Chen glared at the other party a little helplessly.

"I mean really. Only in this way can it make sense for you to act alone. Anyway, the people in this inn just now also saw your intimate behavior with her, so they simply took advantage of it. You see, I have a good idea, right? As he spoke, he also frowned at Yang Chen.

This made Yang Chen feel embarrassed for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense, so he could only respond vaguely first.

In fact, Yang Chen is no longer a stunned young man who is not in love, he has already been married. It's just fate that makes people, a few years ago, his wife had a situation during childbirth, and as a result, he became a single again.

It was precisely because of this sadness and thinking of leaving that sad place that Yang Chen would accept this drudgery from the border without the slightest hesitation. thought that he could rely on the dangerous environment here to forget the pain in his heart, but in the next half a year, he had nothing to do, and in the end he could only use wine to kill his sorrows, and wasted half a year.

Unexpectedly, this time, not only did such a major change come all at once, but even the emotional ripples actually caused ripples again, which made Yang Chen feel a little dazed.

This night, Yang Chen, who was lying on the bed, had unprecedented insomnia, you must know that he could sleep peacefully even if he slept on the grassland before. And now, the figures of two women kept flashing in his mind, one was naturally his deceased wife, and the other was Tana, especially in her bright eyes looking at him, which seemed to hide a heart-warming affection......

"Qian'er...... If something happens between me and Miss Tana, will your spirit in heaven blame me? Yang Chen lay on the bed, looking at the sky outside the window, muttering silently in his heart.

In the vast night sky, a star kept twinkling, as if his deceased wife was telling him the answer, but only he could understand what it meant......
