Chapter 173: Saving People
Zhao Linxian has another bumper harvest, everyone is used to this, and after buying so many fields, can there be no bumper harvest?
Before, the people in the village were still jealous, hoping that the heavens would not be beautiful, cause natural disasters, and kill the old Zhao family's spirit. But the Zhao family's fields have natural disasters, and isn't their own fields the same?
So this vicious idea is just a flash, who doesn't want to have a good harvest!
This Zhao Linxian has a bumper harvest, bags of rice are transported from Dongzhuang Village to the warehouse above the town, and Zhao Linxian's rice shop is now very popular, and there is an endless stream of people who come to buy rice.
The most heart-wrenching one is Su Rongchang.
He played a big game of chess, doing tricks and feet on the rice, just to look at the old Zhao family, it should be accurate to say that Su Yuyan was unlucky, and now it is time to harvest.
So he went to the mansion of the county magistrate and said, "My lord, the imperial court has sent someone to check the matter, I don't know if the lord has ideas. I think there is something wrong with rice, who is the ghost? ”
The county magistrate was also very annoyed, he couldn't find evidence at all, so many people were offering rice at the beginning, and because it was not a normal tribute, the county magistrate was also afraid of being punished by the superiors if he found out.
"Su Yuanwai, do you have any way, I'm really a head and two big."
Su Rongchang said: "I think it's Zhao Linxian's ghost!" ”
The county magistrate's eyes narrowed: "Su Yuanwai, that's your virtuous son-in-law, why do you say that!" ”
"Your Excellency! I'm killing my relatives in righteousness! Think about it, then Zhao Linxian can get in touch and turn rice into tribute rice, maybe he is deliberately harming you! Once you can't find out who poisoned this kind of thing, then you will have to bear everyone's responsibility, and I don't need to say more about the ending! ”
"However, I can't arbitrarily assign a crime to someone!"
Su Rongchang smiled: "Then it depends on what you think, my lord." In fact, if you take 10,000 steps back and think about it, whether it is a ghost made by Zhao Linxian or not, it must be a ghost that he did, a farmer was born, what can he do! ”
The prefectural commander pondered.
Su Rongchang said again: "I have a way to let his rice shop have another accident, so that adults have something to say." ”
The county magistrate is naturally willing, but he has dealt with Su Rongchang for so many years, and it is also clear that Su Rongchang will not do a loss-making business: "What are your requirements." ”
Su Rongchang smiled: "What can you ask for!" When the time comes, I'll just have to eat rice. ”
The county magistrate is very convinced of this reason, Su Rongchang wants to eat rice for more than a day or two, but Zhao Linxian never agrees.
For the county magistrate, he found a substitute for the dead ghost and let this matter have an explanation, and it was fine.
So it was refreshing to reach a consensus with Su Rongchang.
And Zhao Linxian was busy without the slightest sense that a framing was coming.
Because it is new rice, there are more orders, like the orders in Fucheng, Zhao Linxian took the team to send it by himself.
Before leaving, Su Yuyan instructed him to come back after delivering the rice, and she always felt that there were some strange people wandering in front of the rice shop recently.
Zhao Linxian was busy, he didn't notice, but instead comforted Su Yuyan: "It's too hard for you to be pregnant with a child, don't go to the rice shop to help, just let your father go over and take care of it." ”
Su Yuyan knew that Zhao Linxian thought she was suspicious, but she was always uneasy in her heart: "Zhao Niba, don't be careless, don't forget, the matter of poisoned rice has not yet been decided, and everyone has sent gifts to the county magistrate, I always have a bad feeling." ”
Zhao Linxian gave her a hug: "I'm worried about you, when I come back after sending rice, I will accompany you well." Don't think about it, I heard that the imperial court sent a prince to be a messenger, I think I attach great importance to it, and I will investigate this matter properly, and there will be no problem. ”
Su Yuyan didn't believe in any prince's errand, since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, and she has heard a lot: "Speaking of which, this matter is fundamentally the negligence of the imperial court itself, but it is to blame us for making a big move." This requisition should not be placed in the county office, and there must be a special person to manage it, so as to avoid corruption in the county order on rice. Besides, the rice sent from all over the country was not inspected by the imperial court, which was also a dereliction of duty. ”
Zhao Linxian knew that his mother-in-law was worried about himself, so he complained, but he didn't want to be listened to, saying that his mother-in-law was talking about the government in vain, so he kissed her on the forehead: "Obedient, take good care of yourself and your children at home, I'll go back when I go, don't think about it, it's sad." ”
Su Yuyan nodded, and then watched Zhao Linxian leave in the carriage.
Zhao Linxian pinched the hour to deliver rice, hoping to get home before dark. However, there was a delay when one of them delivered the rice, so it was a little dark when I left the city.
Fortunately, the sun is bright during the day, and the moon is bright at night.
Zhao Linxian and Chen Zihao sat on the edge of the carriage, talking and laughing while driving the car.
When passing through the mountains and forests, I faintly heard the sound of fighting.
Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and their ears are naturally sharp, Zhao Linxian said: "Let's go over and take a look, this month is dark and windy, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”
Chen Zihao reminded: "Brother Zhao, do you know that there will be no good things, and it will be over?" What if it's really killing! ”
Zhao Linxian was never afraid of this kind of scene, his face was gloomy like this moonlight: "Then let's see, who kills whom." ”
Chen Zihao had no choice but to agree with Zhao Linxian's strange hobby, although he didn't understand what was so good about this murder, but he still followed Zhao Linxian's steps.
It was the six princes who were assassinated in the mountains and forests, even if the six princes left the capital early and hurried to Xunzhen, but the people who didn't want him to enter Xunzhen still knew his itinerary and sent people to ambush him.
This is not the first time that he has encountered an ambush like this, he has encountered three ambushes, and each time he has won by luck, but there are fewer and fewer guards around him, and now there are only two guards around him, and one of them is still injured, and the blood is flowing like coming out of the dye vat.
Zhao Linxian looked at it through the moonlight, and there were almost seven or eight people in black, besieging three people.
Generally, if you can't see people, you will be masked, so it looks like an assassination.
One of the guards said, "Sixth Master, you go first, and Ah Wei and I will take it." ”
The six princes were naturally unwilling, and resolutely refused to go first, and fought with the man in black.
Chen Zihao whispered to Zhao Linxian: "I didn't expect this sixth master to be quite righteous, it seems that the three of them are not the opponents of the man in black at all, and if they continue to fight, they will all be finished." ”
Zhao Linxian didn't think about making a move, after all, who was this, he couldn't figure it out, and when he was about to leave after watching the excitement, the man in black slashed towards the person called the sixth master with a big split.
I saw that the sixth master blocked it with a sword, and the whole person knelt on the ground, and the knife was getting closer and closer to the neck.
Zhao Linxian also had a sword on his body because he was sending rice, so he pulled out his sword and stabbed at the man in black.
The man in black had to take care of the sword that suddenly came from behind, so he could only let go of the sixth master and fight against Zhao Linxian.
Seeing this, Chen Zihao could only step forward to help.
Zhao Linxian and Chen Zihao are both experienced people, with the two of them joining, the man in black is a little invincible, and he is afraid that the movement will be too big, so he slipped away.
Chen Zihao has just made a move, and he hasn't enjoyed it yet! Seeing the man in black leaving, he said, "Brother Zhao, these individuals are too timid!" I ran away before I could fight, and I didn't let go of my muscles. ”
Zhao Linxian also teased Chen Zihao rarely: "I was probably scared away when I saw you." ”
Chen Zihao: "......"
Doesn't look like he's so scary!
Zhao Linxian saw that the man in black was gone, so he went over to check the sixth master's injury: "Are you okay?" ”
The sixth master shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you two benefactors for saving your life." Under the surname Chen, the single name is a rain character, and I don't know the benefactor's surname. ”
Zhao Linxian was still as cold as ever: "Since you're fine, it's good, let's go home in a hurry." ”
The sixth master's face was obviously stunned.
Chen Zihao smiled "hehe": "Don't mind!" Brother Zhao, this is the same surname as me! Maybe we were one family five hundred years ago, with one ancestor. ”
These words were obviously disrespectful, and another attendant beside the sixth prince reprimanded Chen Zihao: "Presumptuous, who do you say is the same ancestor as you." ”
Chen Zihao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My surname is Chen, and this brother Tai is also surnamed Chen, wasn't it a family five hundred years ago?" ”
Zhao Linxian listened to the presumptuous voice and said, "Let's go!" Zihao, people are probably from a wealthy family, and you have fewer relatives. ”
The sixth prince hurriedly explained: "Two brothers, please stay, it's my subordinate who is ignorant, and I will make amends for him." Brother Chen is right, the surname Chen is one family in the world, and it is not wrong for us to have one ancestor five hundred years ago. ”
These words are comfortable, and Chen Zihao doesn't care about it: "That's it!" Or you, the master, can speak. My surname is Chen, my name is Zihao, this is my eldest brother, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Linxian. It's a shame to have met the two of us, or you'll be in trouble. ”
The sixth prince clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Zhao, Brother Chen, thank you again for saving your life." I originally came to Xun Town to do business, but who knew that I almost lost my life when I ran into a thief. ”
Zhao Linxian looked at a few people, he didn't look like a businessman, he had the demeanor of a military general, but since they said so, he listened to it like this. "Then Brother Chen should take care, fortunately, this place is not far from Xun Town, and he will arrive tomorrow."
When Chen Zihao heard this, he was a little puzzled, wouldn't it be good to take a carriage to the town together, he had just rescued him, so what was wrong with taking a carriage.
He thought so, and also said: "Brother Chen will take our carriage to the town, and there will be no need to return tomorrow, it will be there in a few hours." ”
Zhao Linxian frowned: "If you go to the town in the middle of the night, there is no inn that will receive them, so where will they stay." ”
Chen Zihao said innocently: "Live in your house!" Your house is so wide that you can live under it. ”
Zhao Linxian has a black line.
If this person of unknown origin is taken in to his own home, isn't that asking for trouble for himself?
Without waiting for him to respond, the people had already bowed again and thanked him: "Then it's troublesome Brother Zhao." ”
What else can Zhao Linxian say!
