Chapter 203: Under the Jujube Tree

Zhaoying County has not changed much, the streets are still lively, shouting, noisy, and laughing are intertwined on the streets, and there is an endless stream.

What made Chen Fei feel interesting was that he actually saw his "Chen Ji Mosquito Incense Shop".

"Haha, Uncle Cheng is still quite reliable, the counties near Chang'an City should have opened branches, right? In the future, it will be enlarged around the Chen Ji mosquito incense shop and transformed into a convenience store. ”

A thought flashed in Chen Fei's heart, and he quickly shook his head to shake off this thought. "It's better to take things one step at a time, let's make a mess of the present first."

The horses ran through the old bluestone streets, and Chen Fei saw the county government of Zhaoying County from afar.

According to the address Zheng An said, Chen Fei and Yin Ping turned into the alley and quickly found the jujube tree, and behind the jujube tree was Zheng An's home.

The growth of the jujube tree is very good, about four or five meters high, with a little green leaves, which is mixed with many small green jujubes, I believe that it will not be long before the jujubes will be ripe and feasting.

"Nothing strange." Chen Fei walked around the jujube tree and found that there was nothing special on the tree, this was a very ordinary jujube tree.

"It's strange, what does Zheng An mean when he mentions this jujube tree? Could it be that my suspicion is too severe? ”

"The soil here is loose." Yin Ping used his feet to cushion a piece of soil under the jujube tree.

"There are traces of being dug up, but it's been a long time, and I can't see it if I don't look closely."

"Huh?" Chen Fei hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found that the piece of soil here was slightly different from the one next to it, and there was only a slight difference.

"You can all notice this? Your eyes are too good, aren't they? ”

Yin Ping hugged his arms and said coolly: "People who practice martial arts, they see six ways and listen to all directions, if they don't even have this bit of eyesight, what kind of martial arts do they practice?" ”

Yes, this is a martial idiot! Chen Fei didn't care too much about him in this regard, and stretched out his hand to dig the soil.

"Brother Yin, come and help me, there's something down here." Chen Fei's hand touched a hard object, and the thing seemed to be a little heavy, and he couldn't move it, so he had to ask Yin Ping for help.

The two of them worked together to dig up the dirt next to the hard object, revealing a dark wooden box.

The wooden crate is a little damp, so it's a little rotten.

"It's so heavy!" Chen Fei and Yin Ping worked together to lift the wooden box. "This box is so heavy, it can't be silver, right?" Chen Fei said half-jokingly.

Yin Ping's face was a little solemn: "It's hard to say, maybe it's really silver." ”

No way! Chen Fei's heart jumped, and he wanted to open the wooden box, but found that the box was locked.

"I'll come." Yin Ping took out the knife in his arms, and with a "swish", Chen Fei only felt that his eyes were slight, and the lock on the wooden box had fallen.

Can't wait to open the box..."This..."

The contents of the box confirmed Yin Ping's guess, and the inside was full of silver cakes, and the amount was about one thousand taels.

"It's really a silver cake, no wonder the box is so heavy, it needs two people to carry it." Chen Fei's face was a little not good-looking.

One thousand taels of silver cakes, it is absolutely impossible to save with Zheng An's salary, so there is only one explanation, this money was obtained by him by embezzlement or bribery!

Chen Fei thought of the strange way of bookkeeping when he was doing account books in Zhaoying County before, and most of Zheng An's money was related to this!

"Hey! It's really unofficial and not greedy. It is unimaginable that Zheng An is so honest and honest on the surface, and he will also be corrupt and take bribes, Chen Fei is a little unacceptable in his heart.

"This seems to be a ledger, I'll take a look." There was a small notebook on the silver cake, Chen Fei opened it and looked at it a few times...

"The Lu family? Li County Order? Conspiracy envoys? Sky... This ledger... it! Yin Ping! Let's go back to Chang'an right away! Chen Fei stood up from the ground with a solemn face.

"Okay." Yin Ping didn't talk nonsense, when the two of them raised their legs and were about to leave, suddenly the door behind them was pushed open, and a young man about the same age as Chen Fei poked his head out of the crack in the door. "You... Who are you? What to do under my date palm tree? ”

"Smack!" Chen Fei kicked the lid of the box shut, and then smiled at the young man: "You are the son of Zheng An Zheng?" ”

The boy shrank his head slightly into the door, looking a little frightened. "You... Who is it? My dad wasn't home. ”

Chen Fei showed a kind smile: "I know that your father is not at home, don't worry, your father is kind to me, I came today to be entrusted by your father to come to the house to see you." ”

The young man was a little bold when he heard this, and looked Chen Fei and Yin Ping up and down again, and found that Chen Fei was about the same age as him, and Yin Ping was a few years older than him at most, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he believed his words a little.

"You... Was it really commissioned by my father? But they all said that my father was arrested and put in a cell in Dali Temple. The boy's eyes grew red.

Chen Fei hurriedly relieved: "No, no, they are all nonsense, your father is now sent by His Majesty on a business trip to other places, and he will not be able to come back for a while, so please let us come and see you." ”

"Really?" The young man opened the door, motioned for Chen Fei and the two to come in, and shouted behind him, "Mother! Daddy's friend is here. ”

Chen Fei whispered to Yin Ping beside him: "Brother Yin, you take care of this box, I'll go in." ”

With that, Chen Fei took off the horse and put five hundred pieces of silver on the horse, and laboriously moved into Zheng An's house.

In addition to Zheng An's son, there was also his wife, a woman in her thirties with a slightly yellow face, she was surprised by Chen Fei's age when she saw Chen Fei, and hurriedly beckoned Chen Fei to take a seat after Chen Fei explained.

Chen Fei looked at Zheng An's home slightly.

As he thought, Zheng An's home was very poor, and there were no extra decorations except for some necessary furniture.

Even the furniture is a bit old because of the age, and even some of the furniture is slightly rotten, and the room smells a little damp.

Because Chen Fei was in a hurry to return to Chang'an City, he only comforted the woman and the young man, and left the five hundred copper coins, saying that they were brought to them by Zheng Antuo.

The boy was happy to learn that his father was not going to prison, and kept cheering. However, although the woman smiled on the surface, she was always a little sad between her eyebrows.

Chen Fei secretly said that his set of lies was really only able to deceive the young man, and Zheng An's wife just didn't deceive him.

However, he can't change anything at the moment, and can only comfort the two in this way.

Without staying too long, Chen Fei sat for a while, then got up and left, taking Yin Ping back to Chang'an.

When he returned to Cheng's Mansion with the wooden box, he handed over the things to Cheng Yanjin.

"Am I doing more? What does it mean? Chen Fei pointed to the box of silver and account books, which were a little inexplicable.

Cheng Yanjin threw the account book on the box, clasped his ears and said, "You don't know yet, do you?" Today, six officials above the fifth grade were dismissed, all of whom were related to the Lu family, and were convicted of corruption and bribery by His Majesty and imprisoned in Dali Temple. ”

"Huh? Your Majesty has made a move on the Lu family? ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "It's not a matter of words that Your Majesty wants to do something to the Lu family?" This is just the beginning, and the next political war has just begun, so you just have to wait to see the show. ”

After a pause, Cheng Yanjin said again: "As for the account book you provided, it is not useless, it can be used as the most direct evidence to attack the Lu family, maybe Zheng An can be exempted from some crimes because of this, don't worry, this matter is handed over to you Uncle Cheng." ”

Chen Fei was overjoyed and thanked Cheng Yanjin: "So, the kid is thanking Uncle Cheng." ”

Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin stepped forward and grabbed Chen Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "Boy, I heard that you went to the casino with Chu Mo again today?" Damn, a total of more than 20,000 copper coins? ”

Chen Fei came down in a cold sweat. "Cheng... Uncle Cheng, what do you mean? ”

"What do you mean? Needless to say? Take the old man to the casino! Damn, I've thought about it too! ”

Chen Fei......

Suddenly I saw a friend vote for me, the reflex arc of the hat is a little long, thank you here for a few friends, because the name can't be displayed in the background, don't suggest, again, ask for a vote, give me some motivation?
