In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

It has entered the beginning of autumn, but the autumn tiger is still raging.

Chen Qun sat in the garden reading a book, but he seemed unsettled. The old family member Chen Wei couldn't help but be a little worried, and looked at Chen Qun quietly, but he didn't know what to do. Chen Wei is a third-generation retainer of the Chen family, and has served the Chen family since Chen Qun's grandfather's generation, and has served Chen Yu and Chen Ji. Chen Qun is even more of a person he has grown up, so when he sees Chen Qun like this, he can't help but feel a little worried.

In Chen Wei's impression, Chen Qun's surname is elegant and rarely misbehaves.

From the moment they are born, the children of the family must learn etiquette. Moody and invisible? That's a must! The most important thing is to be graceful in your gestures...... Chen Qun's performance at this time was obviously not in line with the demeanor of the children of the family, and it also showed the anxiety in his heart.

But the problem is that Chen Wei doesn't know how to comfort Chen Qun.

"Madame, please."

Chen Wei finally came up with a good idea and ordered his subordinates.

Chen Qun got married three years ago, and the woman was the daughter of the Yingchuan Xun family, that is, the daughter of Xun Yang, one of the eight dragons of the Xun family. Xun Yang is the youngest of the Eight Dragons and Xun Yu's uncle. So to some extent, Chen Qun and Xun Yu are also relatives.

This is also in line with the marital status of the family.

Marriages are intertwined. Even if the Chen family has been a little weakened in recent years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and its foundation is still there.

Chen Qun and Xun's daughter have a very good relationship, and they can be regarded as raising eyebrows.

In peace, if there is something on his mind, Chen Qun will definitely discuss it with the Xun woman, and the Xun woman may not be able to give any ideas, but it can also be Chen Qun's peace of mind. At this time, it is necessary for the Xun woman to come forward to persuade her, maybe she can calm Chen Qun's anxious mood.

Chen Qun closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the railing sharply.

Behind him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, he frowned, turned around, and saw a dignified and gentle woman coming to his side.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

That woman is the Xun woman.

"Husband seems to have something on his mind?"

"Uh......"

Chen Qun subconsciously turned around, and saw Chen Wei standing in the distance.

He sighed softly and pulled the Xun girl's Rou Yi to sit down, "I'm wondering, Cao Youxue has been in office for the fourth day, but he hasn't made any moves yet. Previously, his treasury house was burned, and he vowed that he would give people a good look. But so far, there has been no movement at all, and I can't help but be a little anxious. How does Cao Youxue think about it? What is he going to do? Or has he been ignoring it? ”

Xun's daughter couldn't help but be silent.

She had heard Chen Qun mention the 'Cao Eight Hundred' more than once, but to be honest, she didn't know anything about Cao Peng.

I only know that my cousin attaches some importance to the young man, and once praised Cao Peng for becoming a great weapon in the future. And the relationship between Chen Qun and Cao Peng is also good, and when they were in Xiapi, the two had contacts. It is said that when Xiapi City was broken, it was Cao Peng who saved Chen Qun, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship. This time, Chen Qun came to Luoyang to take up his post, and specifically named Cao Peng's name. And Cao Peng did nothing, and Chen Qun's anxiety was also common sense.

"Husband, why did you recommend Cao Beibei in the first place?"

"This ...... I can't say it, but when he was in Haixi, he solved a big case.

Most outsiders thought that the case was solved by his brother-in-law, but I saw with my own eyes how he peeled off the cocoon and found the truth.

In addition, he is good at his skills, and he has the grace to save my life, so this time, I thought of him first. ”

"In that case, the husband trusts him?"

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, "What is the meaning of 'faith' that Madame said?" ”

The Xun girl smiled slightly, and said softly: "The meaning of the concubine, since the husband believes in him, why be anxious?" When you recommend him, believe in his talents. He is dormant and does not move, there must be a reason, and when the time comes, he will naturally act. If the husband is still not at ease, then the surname Suo will ask him. It's not interesting for you to sit here restless. If you don't ask him, how can he tell him? ”

Chen Qun's heart moved, and he suddenly stroked his palm and smiled: "What Madame said is extremely true, I don't understand, the surname Suo is looking for him." ”

After saying that, he stood up, "Chen Wei, get on the carriage and go to Tongtuo Street." ”

—————————————————————————————— the Weifu in the north of Luoyang, it is located on Tongtuo Street.

Cao Peng was rummaging through the case in the flower hall, trying to find clues from it. In front of him, there was a piece of hemp paper, on which were densely written with charcoal, and hooked and drawn, which looked rather messy. Hearing that Chen Qun was visiting, Cao Peng hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Chen Qun said with a smile: "Today, the wind and beauty are also the time for chrysanthemums to bloom.

I've heard that there is a good place at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and it is also the best place to enjoy chrysanthemums. When I had nothing to do, I asked my surname to invite my brother to go with me. ”

Beibi Mountain, chrysanthemum appreciation?

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What the eldest brother said, but the chrysanthemum hermitage? ”

"Hey, Brother Xian also knows?"

Cao Peng nodded, "The last time I passed through Luoyang, I had a relationship with the owner of the Chrysanthemum Nunnery. ”

"Oh?"

Chen Qun's spirits perked up, and he sat up straight, "Chrysanthemum Nunnery lives in Chrysanthemum Fairy...... Hehe, when I came to Luoyang, I heard people sing, saying that the chrysanthemum fairy is quite beautiful and very moving. There are even unknown people who write poems for her, and the poems praise her very much.

His poems are peaceful, and the words are not very beautiful, but they are profound.

I love the meaning of its poetry, so I wrote it down with my heart: chrysanthemum in the chrysanthemum dock, chrysanthemum in the chrysanthemum fairy. Chrysanthemum immortals planted chrysanthemum branches, and offered chrysanthemums as wine money......"

Chen Qun recited the song "Song of the Chrysanthemum Temple", and suddenly found that Cao Peng's expression looked a little weird.

He stopped, looked at Cao Peng, and was silent for a while.

"Well, this poem is from me."

Cao Peng couldn't help but laughed.

This poem was originally a spoof by him, but it was sung unexpectedly.

I only hope that Brother Bohu will not blame himself in the future, and try to write a better poem.

Chen Qun pointed at Cao Peng and laughed: "I'll just say that the words of this poem are quite familiar to me. Of the people I know, it seems that you are the only one who has such peaceful words and phrases that have hidden meanings...... By the way, the chrysanthemum fairy is really beautiful? Are you ......?"

"Nope!"

Cao Peng immediately denied it.

"Then let's go."

"Go now?"

"Why, don't you want to inform that chrysanthemum fairy?"

It seems that Chen Qun has already determined that Cao Peng has an unclear relationship with the owner of the Chrysanthemum Nunnery.

Think about it, if there is no connection, how can Cao Peng write a poem for a monk? The point is that the monk is quite famous in Luoyang, and Cao Peng is young and talented, so even if the two of them have an unclear relationship, it seems to be reasonable.

It is estimated that it is not only Chen Qun who thinks so.

Many people who don't know the truth will think so...... Cao Peng felt that it was necessary for him to write a letter to Huang Yueying and explain the situation to Huang Yueying, otherwise it would be easy to cause misunderstandings.

To be honest, Cao Peng didn't want to go to Chrysanthemum Nunnery too much.

On the one hand, it is because he wants to look through the case and find clues; On the other hand, it is because the bhikshunis are seductive and charming. In particular, the sultry style of Yueguan impressed Cao Peng deeply. I'm not Megumi Yanashita myself, just in case...... Isn't it sorry Yueying?

But since Chen Qun has spoken, Cao Peng is not easy to refuse.

In my heart, I didn't have a little expectation, and I wanted to see the 'Chrysanthemum Fairy' again.

Of course, in this thought, it was not caused by **, but more of the original spoof, which made him feel a little guilty.

Because in the era of Cao Peng's previous life, 'chrysanthemum' has a different connotation!

"Since the eldest brother is kind to invite, the younger brother is disrespectful."

So Cao Peng changed into a white dress, but after thinking about it, he took it off again and turned to a green shirt.

According to the rules, it is a custom to wear white clothes in autumn. For example, Chen Qun is wearing a white Bo collar coat, and his clothes are flying when he walks, which is quite immortal. But Cao Peng changed into a blue coat, revealing a dignified atmosphere. In the past two years, the body has become stronger and stronger, so with green clothes, it is even more heroic. The two of them left the official office, and Cao Peng boarded Chen Qun's carriage and slowly walked out of the city.

"Big brother, do you have something to say?"

"Huh?"

"Don't hide it from me, I can feel it, you have something to ask me."

In the carriage, Cao Peng suddenly spoke.

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"You guy, you're really powerful."

Chen Qun thought for a while and asked, "You've been here for three or four days, what are your plans?" ”

"Intended?"

"yes, didn't you mean to give people color?"

Cao Peng was silent!

Through the curtains, he glanced out of the car.

Chen Qun immediately understood, and said softly: "Zifang is my confidant, you can rest assured." ”

Zifang, named Chen Ju, is a driver, and he is driving a car for Chen Qun at this time.

He is the great-grandson of Chen Wei, a generation younger than Chen Qun. But he is about the same age as Chen Qun, and he looks like he is twenty-four or five this year.

Since Chen Qun opened his mouth, it means that this Chen Ju does not need to be avoided.

Cao Peng sighed, "I can't believe the people of Beiya. ”

"Huh?"

"I don't believe in those officers.

Far from it, as far as the treasury fire is concerned, I think it was the thief who did it. At that time, the northern government was on duty, but so many people did not see the thief who started the fire. Almost everyone thinks that it was an accidental walk...... But a discerning person can see that it was done on purpose.

Now I don't believe any of these soldiers in the Beiya.

Including the cook lady and the man in the inner house...... I can't believe any of them. In the past few days, Xiaoluan is all responsible for my diet, and no one is allowed to interfere in it. Big brother, think about it, this entire Beiya can't be trusted by me, what can I do? ”

When Chen Qun heard this, his face changed suddenly.

From the north ya, he thought of his own county office.

Since his arrival, he has not changed his military subordinates in a big way, and many of them have been left behind by his predecessors.

So are these subordinates trustworthy?

But one good thing is that after Chen Qun came to Luoyang, all the miscellaneous servants and subordinates in the inner house were replaced. It's not that Chen Qun is cautious, but because he himself has retainers and servants. Yingchuan Xun clan, Yingchuan Chen clan, which is not a famous family? How can there be no house slaves in the house! Chen Qun's appointment as the Yang Commander is also a large official position. The Chen family could not snub Chen Changwen.

Not to mention, the Xun family's family is especially worse than the Chen family.

Cao Peng saw Chen Qun pondering, so he comforted: "Zi said: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Brother, you and I have a heavy responsibility when we come to Luoyang this time, so we need to be more careful. Luoyang is not Haixi, where there are no rules, I am the rules; But in Luoyang, there are rules for everything, and if you and I want to change this situation, we must first learn to understand.

The fire in the treasury was a temptation.

Some people want to figure out what I'm going to do.

The less anxious I am, the more anxious they are; The more I didn't do it, the more suspicious they became. Now the enemy is dark and I am clear, so I can't be anxious. However, the eldest brother can take this opportunity to rectify Luoyang a little. For example, the eldest brother strengthened the inventory at the city gate before, and the efficiency was too slow. I have a way to make it more efficient. Brother, you can set up a license plate system, enter and exit Luoyang, and issue license plates. If there is no license plate, it is allowed to enter but not to leave...... In this way, you can know the situation in Luoyang in your heart......"

"Number plate system?"

Chen Qun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"It's just an idea, but I don't have a plan yet.

At the same time, the eldest brother can rectify the bazaar. The market is a little chaotic now, but after all, it is a group of merchants, and even if it has its energy, how big is it? The eldest brother first rectified the bazaar and stabilized the livelihood of the people in Luoyang. And those people's attention is focused on me, and the eldest brother can do it without much hindrance. As soon as the people's livelihood is stable, the people of Luoyang will return to their hearts, and at that time, the eldest brother will be able to control the entire Luoyang...... Eldest brother, you are now the Yang Order, and what you have to consider is the stability of the Luoyang, rather than focusing on trivial matters. ”

Chen Qun had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He also had been in Luoyang for a week, and his attention had always been focused on the case of Zhu Zan's death and the subsequent treasury fire. On the contrary, he did not pay attention to people's livelihood. But I don't know that with Chen Qun's background, it is not too difficult to rectify people's livelihood.

Behind the big family in Luoyang, there are many wealthy families.

Chen Qun himself is a child of a family, so naturally he will not be hindered......" The virtuous brother spoke, and he was suddenly opened for his brother. ”

Chen Qun couldn't help but smile and gently patted Cao Peng's shoulder, "It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person when I recommended Brother Xian. ”

Before you knew it, the chariots and horses had arrived at the gate of the city.

A team of chariots and Chen Qun's carriage staggered by, Cao Peng inadvertently glanced at it, but seemed to see a familiar figure.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly called out to stop the carriage and came out to watch.

But I saw the convoy slowly moving away along the street, and the familiar figure just now had long since disappeared.

"Brother Xian, what's wrong?"

Chen Qun poked his head out and asked curiously.

Cao Peng shook his head, "It's nothing...... By the way, where did the chariot fight come from? ”

Chen Qun naturally didn't know, but it didn't matter, he immediately asked Chen Ju to get out of the car, ran to the city gate, and asked the doorman on duty.

After a while, Chen Ju came back, "Childe, the chariot just now is the caravan of the Zhongshan Dahao Su family.

According to Menbo, the Su family brings a large number of furs to Luoyang to sell at this time of year, and there are also shops in Luoyang City. ”

Zhongshan Su family?

Haven't heard of it...... Cao Peng scratched his head and secretly said that it was impossible.

How could that person have a connection with the Su family in Zhongshan? And mixed in with the caravan?

Maybe you're looking at the wrong person!

Cao Peng thought of this and boarded the carriage.

Chen Qun didn't ask again, and only ordered Chen Ju to catch the car...... In this way, a group of carriages and horses drove out of Luoyang City and headed towards the north.
