Chapter 121: A Drink and a Peck

On the way to the county government of Ruichang County, Li Yuntian sat in the carriage of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the two big men who patrolled the imperial history yamen stared at him fiercely, monitoring his every move. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly

Li Yuntian knew that he had been ruthlessly calculated this time, and Cui Hui was a chess piece in the opponent's hand.

And to be able to mobilize Cui Hui, a dignified patrol of the imperial history, the other party's background is definitely not small, and he must be a powerful person in the capital.

Could it be that he came for Zhou Zheng? Li Yuntian first thought of the other party's target as Zhou Zheng, after all, he was a small seven-rank county, how could he work so the other party?

But then Li Yuntian denied this idea, although he is Zhou Zheng's uncle, he and Zhou Yuting have not been married for a long time, even if something happens, it is difficult to implicate Zhou Zheng.

Besides, Zhou Zheng is subject to the emperor**, it is not so easy for the other party to move Zhou Zheng, he can't shake Zhou Zheng by accepting bribes alone, and a noble like Zhou Zheng can only be brought down unless he is guilty of a big case of anger and resentment, or if he is involved in the entanglement of imperial power.

Li Yuntian couldn't understand who was going to deal with him, and his small magistrate didn't seem to have provoked the magnates in the capital.

As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, due to the limited information, Li Yuntian knows that no matter how much he ponders, he can't think of a reason to come, but fortunately, he will wait and see the changes.

The only thing that worries him now is the pregnant Green Calyx, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, now they are at the critical moment of the fetus, and they must not be stimulated by any excesses, but Shi An actually insisted on giving the money to the Green Calyx, so the Green Calyx will definitely be involved, and it is not possible that Cui Hui has already asked someone to summon her.

As for Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, Li Yuntian believed that Cui Hui would never let go of the two, at this time he had a sense of powerlessness, facing Cui Hui, the patrol of the hunting on behalf of the sky, he found that he was like a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon trapped in the shallows, without the slightest power to fight back.

To be honest, Li Yuntian is not worried about Cui Hui checking himself, even if Yang Shiqi doesn't care about this matter, then Zhou Zheng will not watch him being framed.

As long as Zhou Zheng exerts his strength at that time, so that the imperial court can send someone to strictly investigate this matter, then Li Yuntian believes that he has a way to find out the ins and outs of this matter, after all, a lie is a lie after all, and it cannot stand the test of practice.

He can wait, but Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou can't wait, once they are caught by Cui Hui, they will inevitably be forced to confess, and the consequences of being tortured are unimaginable.

If Cui Hui took the green calyx, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou to force him to comply, Li Yuntian would definitely be in a dilemma, and every inch would be in chaos.

Unlike Zhou Yuting, who has the title of the lord of Yingrui County, the three of them are destined to protect themselves, although they are in the family tree, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are only concubines after all, and in Cui Hui's opinion, they are only half a level higher than the slaves, and they still belong to civilians, and he can punish the three of them if he wants to.

Li Yuntian guessed correctly, just when he was worried, a team of officers patrolling the Imperial History Yamen had arrived in a small town outside Hukou County.

As it was close to noon, the servants went into a restaurant in the town and asked for a private room for dinner, during which there was silence, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull and depressing.

After eating, a big man with a mustache took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table, and led the servants away with an expressionless face.

"You're not long." When he came to the lobby of the restaurant, a sturdy errand suddenly collided with a shopkeeper holding a tray, and a plate of dishes on the tray splashed on his body with a hula, and the sturdy errand grabbed the shopkeeper's collar menacingly.

"The poor master is angry, angry, what losses do you have, I will compensate you next." Seeing this, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter hurriedly came over with a smile on his face and said, he saw that the sturdy errand and others were wearing official uniforms, and knew that they were not easy to provoke.

"Can you afford it? Lao Tzu's clothes are made of fine satin. The sturdy errand let go of the shopkeeper and looked at the shopkeeper with a sneer.

"Poor master, you say the number, and compensate at the original price." Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes showed a look of helplessness, and he said with a smile on his face, the official uniform on the sturdy officer is just an ordinary fabric, where is the silk, it is obviously a rip-off.

"Don't dwell on it." The eight-character bearded man frowned slightly, and with a pure Beijing film, he impatiently waved his hand at the sturdy officer, signaling him not to do much.

"Five taels!" The sturdy errand wanted the lion to open his mouth, but when he heard this, he stretched out five fingers at the shopkeeper.

The muscles in the corners of the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help twitching when he heard this, and the clothes of the strong officer were not three dollars of silver, but he didn't dare to worry too much, because he heard that the strong officer was the accent of Nanchang, not a native of Jiujiang Mansion, so he took out the money bag and took a few pieces of broken silver to make it into five taels and gave it to the strong officer.

"Grinding and chirping, if you delay Lao Tzu's business, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" The sturdy officer seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, snatched the broken silver from the shopkeeper with one hand, pushed the shopkeeper's handful with the other, pushed him to a stumbling side, and then scolded and followed the bearded man away.

"Shopkeeper, you're all right." The shopkeeper who caused the accident held the shopkeeper and asked with concern.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead." The shopkeeper's face changed a few times, then he waved his hand, instructed the shopkeeper, and hurried to the backyard.

Entering a room in the backyard, the shopkeeper reached out and found a ball of paper stacked together from the clothes on his chest, and was shocked when he opened it.

The paper ball was pushed into the clothes on his chest when the sturdy errand was about to leave, and the shopkeeper had already felt his actions, and his heart was very strange, he didn't know why he did this, and he didn't dare to ask casually, so he came to the backyard to check.

There were ten words written on the note, "Quick report to Chen's family, Li Zhixian is in trouble", the font is very sloppy, and it can be seen that it was written in a hurry, which made the shopkeeper shocked.

There is only one person in Hukou County who dares to call the "Chen family", and that is the Chen Bozhao family in Baishui Town.

"Quick, give it to the owner." The shopkeeper quickly came to his senses, and a round-faced young man was called in, and after handing him the note, he said in a deep voice, "Remember, cut corners!" ”

This restaurant was originally Zhang Youde's industry, and was later bought by Chen Bozhao, and the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to slack off after seeing the note, no matter what the strong messenger meant, first pass this note to Chen Bozhao.

"Dad, don't worry." The round-faced young man sensed that something was at stake, put the note close to him, led a horse from the stables in the backyard, and galloped away.

After Hu Dahan and others rode into the county seat of Hukou County, they were divided into two teams, one team went to the county office, and he led the other team through the county seat and went straight to Baishui Town.

The team that went to the county government asked to see the green calyx, and told the green calyx that Li Yuntian was attacked by the water bandits and was seriously injured, and the inspector sent them to pick her up to see Li Yuntian.

She didn't expect that Li Yuntian would have an accident, and she didn't expect that the inspector would lie to her, so she didn't have time to pack up her salute, and under the escort of Li Manshan and others, she got into a carriage and hurried to Ruichang County with the messenger who patrolled the imperial history yamen.

The town of Whitewater, as usual, is noisy and bustling, and the streets are bustling with people, and since the trading market has been put into use, the town has become more prosperous.

A fast horse avoided the main road of Whitewater Town, and crossed the alley to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and the knight on the horse was the young man with a round face who came to report the news, turned over and dismounted, shook the reins in his hand, and hurried in.

The servant guarding the door knew the round-faced young man, and hurriedly went up and grabbed the horse, and then looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing when it happened, which made the round-faced young man so flustered.

Chen Bozhao was busy with official business at the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and was not at home, so the round-faced young man asked to see Chen Ningning, who was in the back house, handed her the note, and retold the story.

"You say someone speaks with a capital accent?" Chen Ning stared at the note in his hand and fell into deep thought, and looked up for a long time to ask the round-faced young man standing in front of him, frowning slightly.

"Well, when the messenger who stuffed my father's paper ball left, he deliberately instructed my father to send the news out as much as possible." The round-faced young man nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"Go, tell the fourth lady, let her go to the embroidery village, if anyone comes to find the fourth lady, just say that she and Mrs. Ben went to the lake."

Chen Ningning realized that Li Yuntian was likely to be in some big trouble, since the sturdy messenger took the risk to send a note to warn, then she naturally would not ignore it, and made a decision after pondering for a while.

The fourth lady in her mouth naturally refers to Zheng Wanrou, and it is naturally impossible to hide this matter from Zheng Wanrou, she is going to go to Xiuzhuang to discuss with Zheng Wanrou how to deal with it.

At the same time, Chen Ningning asked people to inform Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui to go to Xiuzhuang, after all, the two of them are well-informed, and they will help them with ideas at that time.

Yunhai Embroidery Village, a wing room in the backyard.

"Miss, the inspector sent someone to pick you up, saying that your lord was attacked by a group of bandits in Ruichang County and was seriously injured." Just as Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou, Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui were discussing the matter on the note, a maid hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

"What?" Chen Ningning was taken aback, and involuntarily stood up, her face turned pale in an instant.

"How so?" Chen Bozhao and the others also got up one after another, with a stunned look on their faces, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian would have such a thing.

"Wait!" Chen Ningning was in a mess at this time, and she didn't have time to think about it and walked quickly to the door, preparing to visit Li Yuntian in Ruichang County, but just as she walked to the door, a coquettish voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Are the people who come wearing the same uniforms?" The person who stopped Chen Ningning was naturally Zheng Wanrou, and Zheng Wanrou quietly asked the maid who came to report the news.

"Their official uniforms are a little different from those of the county officials." Yahuan thought for a moment and nodded to Zheng Wanrou.

The official uniforms worn by the officers of the Imperial History Yamen and the official uniforms of the local officials were different in color and style, so as to distinguish them, and at the same time to show their different identities and facilitate the handling of cases.

"Third sister, since the master has something to do in Ruichang County, then why does Qi Zhi County of Ruichang County have to send someone to report to us, after all, the master went to Ruichang County to help him, why is the person who came just to patrol the Imperial History Yamen?" Zheng Wanrou's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and said to Chen Ningning.

The wives and concubines of the ancients' back house were commensurate with sisters, in addition to the main wife, the concubines were arranged in order of entering the door, not by age, so Zheng Wanrou called Chen Ningning "third sister".

"They were afraid that the people from Ruichang County would leak the news, so they came alone!" Chen Ningning is so smart, after Zheng Wanrou's reminder, she finally understood, and she was stunned for a moment. One
