Chapter 173: The Eve of the Storm

As soon as Chen Xi got up from the bed, he saw the county magistrate walking into the courtyard in civilian clothes.

Yang Tinghan didn't sleep because he also tossed all night yesterday, and when he saw that the county magistrate's eyes were dark, he didn't say much, and took the person directly to the backyard.

For the Chen family, the county magistrate is naturally very unfamiliar, but Chen Wan has seen it once, and suddenly as if she remembered something, she didn't have time to say more, so she came to the backyard with the others.

When she learned that the old lady had been recuperating in Chen Xi's backyard for a while, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her chest rose and fell.

But no matter how resentful he was in his heart, when he saw the old lady, he still stepped forward and saluted with a look of admiration: "I really didn't expect your old man to be here, if I had known, I would have been waiting by my side day and night." ”

The words are full of emotional intelligence.

It's a pity that the old lady has seen all kinds of people in her life, but she just said with a faint expression: "I came here to nourish my body, so I need to be quiet, I have to leave today, if you want me in the future, you can come to the county mansion!" ”

The county magistrate is a busy man, so naturally he can't stay in this rural place for a long time, so it almost only took a cup of tea to pick up the old lady.

Several people stood at the door and watched the carriage get farther and farther away, Chen Wan suddenly said with a crying voice: "Sister, there is an old lady living behind here, why didn't you tell me, is it to prevent me?" ”

The question was so straightforward, Chen Xi wanted to nod his head, but now was not the time to tear his face.

After thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "It doesn't matter at all after this incident, it's the old lady who thinks she wants to nurture her body quietly, so she hides it from everyone!" ”

In any case, now that the person is gone, even if there is a lot of regret, it will not help.

Thinking that he originally planned to please the old lady and then get a good family business, but seeing the opportunity slipping away like this, he was extremely unwilling.

However, she suddenly remembered Zhang Xuening in her mind.

When everyone was not paying attention, he quietly slipped next door and told all the things, of course, the Chen family.

After hearing this, the corners of Zhang Xuening's mouth rose slightly: "There is such a Yue family who is always looking for trouble, even a fool knows how to choose!" ”

Although she knew that it was Chen Xi who was talking about it, Chen Wan was a little unhappy when she heard this: "Our family is different from grandma's family, grandma's family is like a vampire, and no one will let go!" ”

"That's natural, your brother is now the youngest Xiucai, and his future is limitless, your father is also Xiucai, and the family is all scholars!"

Who doesn't like to hear good words.

Zhang Xuening just said a few fluttering words, which made Chen Wan immersed in joy.

As long as people are happy, they will always say something that they don't have, and at the same time, there were originally many secret things, but now they are also known by Zhang Xuening.

After Chen Wan said for half an hour, she got a few more valuable jewelry when she left again, and then happily returned to Chen Xi.

The Yang family, since learning that the two children in the family did not pass the Tongsheng examination, the whole family is like being shrouded in gloom and misery.

The second dog, who was originally like a treasure at home, has been a man with his tail between his legs these days, and he doesn't dare to eat this and that like before.

The two brothers wanted to save money for a lifetime, but they didn't achieve anything, and they looked at their son very unpleasantly.

When they learned that Chen Xi had actually introduced his mother's family into the courtyard, the two brothers snorted coldly.

"See? This is our family's newly married daughter-in-law, who doesn't know how to help with money, but we want to help our mother's family! ”

"Those people in the Chen family are not good things, it is estimated that sooner or later Chen Xi will regret it, we have time to remind Yang Tinghan, the Chen family is clearly a bottomless pit that can never be finished!"

That family is greedy like a blood-sucking locust, and whoever they are staring at will be unlucky.

Although the two brothers were indignant when they said this on the surface, they knew very well in their hearts that even if they stood in front of the man and said this, I am afraid that people would not pay attention to them.

Ay!

He looked at his breath weakly, and then saw if his son was angry.

Chen Xi knew everything about the Chen family and the Yang family, but he soon had no time to take care of them, because there was a bigger crisis.

There has been definite news that a small group of people has now turned into robbers, and if nothing else, they will enter the village and rob it this evening.

"Shall we do some preparations now?"

"That's natural, I'll go to the village chief and the patriarch in a while, no matter what happened before, now it's time to be unanimous with the outside world!"

"Of course, even if there are grievances, but as a general who protects his family and the country, he should protect everyone, but the reason must be thought of, don't arouse suspicion!"

"I've been hunting in the mountains these days, and that group of people happens to be staying in the deep mountains and old forests, which is a good reason, and of course if they don't believe me, I can also bring a few witnesses!"

Yang Tinghan is a sure person to do things, and that afternoon he pretended to meet someone who was hunting like himself, and then when they arrived in the deep mountains and old forests, they naturally saw a group of people dressed like robbers.

Coincidentally, a few of them originally thought that they could hide and catch the wild boar, but they didn't expect to hear the unscrupulous discussion of a few people.

"Today we went to a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, although it is just a big fart place, but I heard that there are some rich people in it, the most important thing is that the population is small, remember, after going to grab money, as for those beauties, let's bring them back and enjoy them ourselves!"

"Didn't you say that you only want money or killing, and don't rob beauties, although we can not listen to the boss outside, but if it is known, I am afraid that we will not be punished!"

"I think you're obviously stupid, everyone has thrown themselves into their arms, what's not to do!"

"That's right, when I went down the mountain to scout yesterday, I saw several beauties, although the game hasn't grown yet, but you can take it back and raise it first, or wait for our brothers to play enough and then sell it to the Qinglou is also an income!"

“……”

A few big men obviously didn't expect that there were other people in this deep mountain and old forest.

So in the end, the more you talk about it, the more obscene it becomes, and the smile on your face is even more disgusting.

Hearing such a secret today, although it was said that the other hunters were hunting all year round and were in the company of animals, their bodies began to tremble incessantly at this time.

Yang Tinghan could see that the others were already frightened, but he still calmly put his finger to his mouth and signaled them to be quiet.
