Chapter 35 This matter turned out to be not easy

That Shenchun Shenlan was a water thief in the Xunyang area, killing people and overselling goods, and the crime was obvious, and he also made a fortune. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info felt that it was not a long time to be in one place, so they left many of their subordinates and secretly moved to another place with only three or five intimate brothers. Later, he went incognito in Dushupu, bought a boat on land, and ran another business.

Although on the surface, they have washed their hands in a golden basin and done another good business, but the Shen brothers and these three or five thieves can't hold back, and from time to time they also choose the single businessman who takes the little road to rob money and kill him.

It's just that there are few cases done, and they are concealed and clean, coupled with the extremely backward means of communication and criminal investigation in ancient times, those who go out are killed and buried, and their families don't know where to look. The body is not exposed, and the local government does not file a case for investigation.

Outside, the Shen brothers and accomplices pretended to be good, but no one knew the details. But in the dead of night, or when there are no outsiders, they don't hide their words and deeds, and they don't beware of invisible ghosts to investigate them.

It was also a coincidence that on the third night of Mei'er's visit, she caught up with this group of thieves who had just made a deal, got some offerings to sacrifice to the gods, and then shared the spoils and hid them after eating and drinking. In this way, the underwater eyes of these people were all investigated by Mei'er.

"Officials, please keep it close to you, don't lose it." Mei'er saw that Chen Hongjian had finished recording, and solemnly admonished.

Am I that unreliable? Chen Hong smiled helplessly, but obediently folded the paper and put it close to his body.

"In more than two hours, the sky will be bright, and we will leave for home." Chen Hongjian seemed to sigh, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

Mei'er nodded and said, "The slave family will hide here, and the officials can sleep peacefully." ”

Chen Hong hurriedly said: "I'm not sleepy, can the lady accompany me to chat?" When the morning dawns, they set off on their way. ”

Mei'er hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway.

Chen Hong gradually scratched his head and touched his face, and it took a long time to find a topic and said, "I don't know what the lady likes?" ”

Mei'er smiled and said, "The slave family liked to play horse chess when they were alive, but it was late at night, where to find the chessboard?" ”

Chen Hong paused for a long time and said, "Where does the lady usually live?" ”

Mei'er smiled: "How can a ghost have a certain place to live, in short, it is underground." Now, that cloth bag can also be stored. ”

Chen Hong gradually asked: "There is a crack in the ground, can it accommodate you?" ”

Mei'er said, "The ghost is out of sight, just as a fish is out of sight." ”

Chen Hong gradually ran out of words again, and he really didn't feel comfortable talking to a woman from a good family like this. After holding it for a long time, he had to bring up the old matter again, "I want to send my lady to Chuzhou, and I really mean it." The lady can't believe it? ”

Mei'er looked up at Chen Hongji, smiled slightly, and said, "Do the officials think this is an easy thing? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Chen Hong gradually understood what he meant, and asked: "When I arrived in Chuzhou, I went to the Lu family to explain that I would let the Lu family lady take the ashes, wouldn't it be okay?" ”

Mei'er sighed and said, "The slave family also thought like an official before, but after being told by Engong, they knew the difficulties. As wise and empathetic as Engong, the slave family has never seen it. ”

Chen Hong gradually heard Mei'er praise Meng Jiucheng, his heart was a little sour, but he was also a little unconvinced, and said: "Lady, can you say it, let me have more knowledge." ”

"The slave prefect is not convinced." Mei'er looked at Chen Hongji, seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not as thoughtful as Engong, it's not that the officials and slaves are stupid, but that they lack experience and experience, and they don't know people's thoughts and thoughts, and they just take everything for granted." ”

Chen Hong gradually fell silent, looked at Mei'er, and waited for the following.

Mei'er sorted out the distribution of her sideburns, and said slowly: "Sending the slave family to Chuzhou is just a tiring journey, and it is nothing. But when you arrive in Chuzhou, how can you enter the Lu family, how can you see the stupid lady of the Lu family, and how can you get the Lu family to agree to swallow the ashes for the Lu family's lady? ”

Chen Hong's eyes lit up gradually, and he said: "Since you are stupid, you must be incomplete in your soul, and when you arrive at the Lu family, you just say that you are curing the disease, and it will be solved." ”

"For so many years, the Lu family must have found a lot of doctors and taken a lot of drugs, but they didn't work." Mei'er smiled and shook her head, and said, "Empty words, how can the Lu family believe it?" ”

Raising her hand, Mei'er stopped Chen Hongji's interjection and continued: "Okay, even if the Lu family doctor is sick and reluctantly believes it. Even if everything goes smoothly after that, the lady of the Lu family is in ashes, and she is not stupid or stupid, but the Lu family asks, how to answer? ”

Chen Hong gradually frowned and thought about it, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "Why bother with lips and tongues, when you go to the Lu family, you will tell the truth and heal the Lu family's lady, otherwise everything will be fine." ”

Alas, Mei'er sighed softly, which suddenly made Chen Hong gradually pour cold water, his eyes stunned, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

"Whoever has children will have mercy." Mei'er said faintly: "If the Lu family knows that their daughter is reincarnated and still remembers the events of the previous life, I don't know how to feel?" Maybe it's still in love, maybe it's ......"

Alas, Chen Hongjian is not stupid, but he is a little roundabout, and he doesn't think deeply about everything, after Mei'er said this, he immediately understood, and couldn't help but sigh, and said dejectedly: "Maybe you have a bad heart, just be a daughter of another family, and be estranged from now on." Even if the lady has recovered her soul, even if she is as filial and obedient as her daughter, she is afraid that it will be difficult to regain her previous family affection. ”

Mei'er smiled bitterly, and the two of them were silent until the fifth watch rang outside.

Chen Hong's eyes gradually rounded, and he seemed to have figured out something, and raised his head and said to Mei'er: "Since Brother Meng has analyzed it so thoroughly, there must be a way. When I returned, I asked him for advice, and I always wanted to complete this matter so that the lady could fulfill her wish. ”

"Engong is indeed mentally changing, and few people can match it." Mei Er forced a smile and said, "The officials believe in him, and the slave family also believes in him." ”

"I am really the frog at the bottom of the well, no matter my knowledge and mind, compared with Brother Meng, I am thousands of miles behind!" Chen Hong gradually shook his head and sighed, "On weekdays, not only do you not know the gap, but you also have the heart to win, you are really a fool who doesn't know the depths." ”

Seeing Chen Hong gradually lost, Mei'er couldn't help but feel relieved: "Officials don't have to be arrogant. It is necessary to know that the ruler is long and the inch is short. Although Engong is wise, he doesn't like the right path of the imperial examination, and he likes to read miscellaneous books. It's either a trick, or it knows that it doesn't have the order to go to the department. Officials are different, slaves read the books you read, and they know that the official career is the path that officials want to take. If you can restrain your heart, study hard, and win fame and wealth, isn't it also an achievement? ”
