Chapter 678: Refusal

"Lord Zhao, it's not too early, it's almost time for lunch. The villain asked the insider to clean up lunch, and you and Chen Jingcheng have some light meals at my house. Wang Houde said with a smile.

Wang's wife also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, although our countryside is coarse tea and light rice, it is better because the ingredients are fresh and the taste is not bad." There happens to be a small river fresh, which is a unique fish here, and the soup is extremely delicious. Because it grows in a big stone crevice, it needs people to go down to catch it, and it is very difficult to get it. It just so happened that my eldest son-in-law's family sent a catty. I'll clean it up with my own hands in a while, and I'll definitely get it clean. So that adults also know that we also have good things in the countryside. ”

Chen Kang said with a smile on the side: "Adults don't know, the wife of Wang Houde's family, her ancestor is a chef in the capital, she has good cooking skills since she was a child, and she is also very particular about cleanliness. In the past, whether it was the adults of Linjiang Mansion or the adults of Nanyang Prefecture who came down to inspect here, they had to come to his house to eat. Mrs. Wang's cousin-in-law is the governor of the prefect of Linjiang Prefecture, so Mrs. Wang's superb cooking skills are also known to everyone in the Linjiang Mansion. ”

After Zhao Ruxi arrived in Nanyang, what he did was often unexpected.

This time I went to the countryside and didn't expect to encounter Wang Dazhu, Chen Kang had no bottom about her attitude, and couldn't help but turn over Wang Houde's hole cards.

In the past few days, Zhao Ruxi has gone to the countryside and never eats in Lizheng or other people's homes, but goes back to her carriage to eat dry food, and her attendants are also the same. Chen Kang didn't know if she was disgusted with the family's food or didn't think it was clean, in short, no matter how she kept the food, she refused to accept it.

If she was willing to eat here, Chen Kang felt that his heart would be able to put it down.

Although the governor of the government is only a minor official of the ninth grade, he is the prefect of the yamen after all, and the Wang family can be regarded as someone above.

Zhao Ruxi's senior brother Wu Zong is a newcomer after all, and he has to rely on local officials to do things. Maybe Zhao Ruxi sees this point and is willing to give the Wang family a little face.

Thinking of this, Chen Kang had a headache.

This aunt's backstage is too hard, if she doesn't give face to the Wang family, he and Cai Yaozong have nothing to do.

"Nope." Zhao Ruxi waved his hand and refused, "We came to inspect to act impartially." If I eat at your house, even if I deal with you fairly for a while, the villagers will think that I am biased against you. That's not good. ”

Hearing the latter words, Wang Houde and his wife, who felt cold because Zhao Ruxi refused to eat, had some hope.

Maybe this newcomer Zhao is particularly concerned about his official reputation, even if he goes through the motions, he has to walk without being criticized at all?

After Zhao Ruxi finished speaking, he stood up: "I'll go back to the carriage first." If Chen Jingcheng wants to eat here, he will do it. As she spoke, she arched her hand towards Wang Houde and walked outside.

Lu Yun hurriedly followed.

Chen Kang, who already knew a little bit about Zhao Ruxi, was not as optimistic as Wang Houde and his wife, and when he was thinking about how to intercede, he saw Zhao Ruxi leave him out, and he quickly followed him out, and said in his mouth: "No, no, adults eat dry food, how can there be a reason for villains to eat here?" ”

Zhao Ruxi ignored him, left the Wang family's house, and went straight to the village.

Their carriage was parked in a clearing at the head of the village.

Chen Kang wanted to catch up and say a few words of love to Wang Houde, but first, he didn't know what was going on with Wang Houde, and secondly, he wasn't sure if Zhao Ruxi's fire would burn him after he said the favor.

Although because of the relationship between Mrs. Wang's cousin and brother-in-law, he attaches great importance to Wang Houde. But Zhao Ruxi's background is too big, his temper is stinky, and he only does things according to his own temperament, and he doesn't pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes at all. He really didn't dare to risk his future.

Just think about it, if he makes Zhao Ruxi unhappy, this aunt loses her temper and wants to remove him, from the capital city to the state government, who can stop him?

He said that he was a snake of the earth, and his roots were deeper. But Zhao Ruxi removed him, and then picked one from the local area to replace him, and whoever was dissatisfied with the Li Zheng would be withdrawn, and the people below were better than anyone else in their ability to see the wind and make the rudder.

After thinking about it like this, he didn't dare to say anything until Zhao Ruxi walked to the village and got into the carriage.

Zhao Ruxi traveled, not only brought the three guards that Xiao Lingyan gave her, but also brought out Luo. It's just that Roche didn't follow, but stayed in the carriage and waited.

Zhao Ruxi's carriage was still brought from the capital, and it was the one she used to use when traveling between the capital and Bac Ninh.

At that time, he was running around every day, and for comfort, Zhao Ruxi modified the carriage inside and out.

In ancient times, there was no heat island effect, and it was only May at this time, and the weather was neither hot nor cold. When they set off in the morning, Zhu specially asked the kitchen to make some small pies and a few pastries, as well as a few cold dishes for Roche to bring.

At this time, Roche had already boiled the tea out of the small stove prepared in the car, and ate these pies and pastries with hot tea, and the taste was also excellent.

Zhao Ruxi asked Roche to send one to Chen Kang as usual, and he sat in the car and ate it with relish.

While eating, she also wondered if she should give the instant noodles to the cottage. Isn't there a heroine who has crossed over because of the cottage instant noodles, so that the soldiers won the battle and won the love of the emperor or prince? For the sake of her title, she can also be a copycat.

During this period, Wang's wife also brought a maidservant girl to deliver food to Zhao Ruxi, but was directly stopped by Luo.

After Zhao Ruxi had eaten and rested for a while, the guards who went to inquire about the news came back and reported the news they had collected to Zhao Ruxi one by one.

Because of the difference between men and women, Chen Kang did not dare to park his carriage next to Zhao Ruxi's carriage, but was more than ten meters away. At this time, seeing Zhao Ruxi's nursing home coming back one after another, he didn't have much anxiety in his heart because he had made up his mind to ignore Wang Houde.

After listening to the words of the last nurse, Zhao Ruxi instructed the nursery: "You take a gong to the village and knock it, and let them come here." ”

Hearing the sound of the gong, Wang Houde, who had been paying attention to the movement here, finally couldn't hold it back, avoided Zhao Ruxi's sight, and went to Chen Kang to inquire about the news in person.

Chen Kang was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he came over and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Lord Zhao, what are you going to do with Wang Houde?" ”

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Wang Houde, who was standing in the distance, then looked at Chen Kang, and said, "Do you know what he did in the village?" ”

Chen Kang sighed in his heart.

Although Wangjia Village is surnamed Wang, it is not a member of a clan, and it is divided into two or three forces. Since Wang Houde gained power, he has done a lot of immoral things. For example, he wanted to connect his fields and use various means to force the people in the village to sell their fields; They also used strong means to suppress people from other forces. There were quite a few people in the village who were extremely dissatisfied with him. But because of his relationship with his wife and cousin-in-law, Cai Yaozong and he turned a blind eye to this matter, and the villagers had to swallow their anger.
