Chapter 34 Entering the county office
Although Chu Xiaoxiang was carried upstairs by Helianchen, when he first went upstairs, Chu Xiaoxiang felt Helianchen's gentleness and softness.
The burst of relaxation for no reason made her feel inexplicably sleepy, "It turns out that his arms are so soft," Chu Xiaoxiang was saying, and the corners of his lips hooked a trace of arc.
But at this time, Helian Chen was still silent, and soon transformed Chu Xiaoxiang's princess into a posture of carrying her on his back.
It's just that as soon as he touched the man's back, Chu Xiaoxiang smelled the smell of the sea emanating from Helian Chen's clothes.
Unconsciously fell asleep dizzily, and when she opened her eyes again, Chu Xiaoxiang inexplicably found herself lying on a neatly laid bed.
Although the bed was not very spacious, it was even a little narrow, and with one side, Helian Chen's handsome face was facing Chu Xiaoxiang.
At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly panicked, opened his mouth and began to shout: "Huh? How did I fall asleep, nothing happened last night, right? ”
Although Chu Xiaoxiang was screaming, he looked down and saw that the clothes on his body were still there, and the heart congestion just now was inexplicably much better.
But lying with Helianchen, Chu Xiaoxiang still felt that something didn't seem right, so he raised his leg and kicked under Helianchen.
"Why are you so close to me?" Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, but there was a complaining tone, and at this time, Helian Chen inexplicably felt an obvious pain in his lower body.
"What's wrong?" Helian Chen opened his mouth slightly and asked
At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang shouted at him: "There are bad guys!" ”
"Where?" When Helian Chen heard this, he looked around a little and said, Chu Xiaoxiang raised his leg again and kicked at Helian Chen: "Who told you to be so close to me while I was asleep?" ”
"Do you have any other thoughts?" Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, his nose was still a little sour, but at this time, it was Helian Chen who was even more sad: "What do you think? You're so nervous, I'm worried you have! ”
"Now there's only one bed here, and if you don't let me sleep here, where else can I sleep?"
Helian Chen's rhetorical question made Chu Xiaoxiang inexplicably speechless, "Then you can sleep on that end." ”
"Why? County Lord, although you are the county lord, but now you and I are husband and wife. This is an indisputable fact, so I don't think much of you, no matter what! ”
"But if you repeatedly reject me, it only means that who is the person who thinks wrongly? Can you tell me," Helian Chen took advantage of it, but he still didn't forget to sell cute.
"Hmph, I can't talk about you," Chu Xiaoxiang sniffed and said to Helian Chen, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, when did I have the truth with you?" ”
Just when Helian Chen was confused by Chu Xiaoxiang's sudden question, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang had already turned around and fled out of the room.
At this time, she was originally thinking about going to find the two little girls, but in the blink of an eye, she thought that if it wasn't for those two little girls who betrayed her yesterday, how could she be in the same room with Helian Chen?
Until she woke up again, although she didn't know how long she had been asleep, she still looked out the window, and she still looked like a hazy moon shadow.
Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly wanted to get up and went out for a walk, but at this time, from behind her, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly felt as if she had been pushed by someone.
"Why are you again? Can you stop making trouble," Chu Xiaoxiang originally thought it was Helian Chen, but when she turned around, she found that there was a black stranger figure behind her.
In this place where there is no shop in front of the village and behind the village, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little stunned, who is the identity of this strange man in black?
But looking at him with a long sword in his hand, Chu Xiaoxiang subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, I am afraid that the intention of the comer is a little unkind.
Thinking of this, in order to find out about the man in black, Chu Xiaoxiang jumped up without saying a word, and chased in the direction where the man in black was.
But Chu Xiaoxiang was surprised to find that the man in black also seemed to know how to do light work, although Chu Xiaoxiang was an agent from the future world, but it was still very difficult to catch up with the man in black in front of him.
It's just that at the moment when Chu Xiaoxiang was about to catch up with the other party, the man in black immediately jumped to the warehouse outside the restaurant, where the carriage when Chu Xiaoxiang and his people were waiting for them to come forward, as well as the pile of goods on the carriage.
Chu Xiaoxiang hurriedly lit the torch and rushed over, and was surprised to find that the things in there were still there.
But the man in black has long since disappeared.
"So the man in black is obviously coming for our goods. If it's for people, then why don't we people have anything to do? ”
When Chu Xiaoxiang was drinking tea in the front hall, it was already the sun climbing the hillside.
Helian Chen was feeding the horses grass in the stable next to the warehouse, and Tao Yao and Zhuo Hua just got up from the bed.
Seeing that everyone's preparations were almost the same, and when they were about to go on the road, Zhuo Hua suddenly asked, "Could it be that the man in black has other plans for us?" In the name of those goods, they actually use us as bait to lure us into the bait. ”
"Zhuohua, you're really getting stronger and stronger now. It's just that," Chu Xiaoxiang was boasting, but suddenly shook his head, "It shouldn't be, if that's really the case, we must have what the other party wants." But as far as I can see, the other party's intention should be those goods. ”
Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, at this time, Helian Chen, who was feeding the horses, suddenly walked in, heard the discussion of Chu Xiaoxiang and others, thinking about what he said to him last night, and unconsciously felt a little cold.
"Officials and businessmen collude, it is estimated that those people should be organized," Helian Chen said at this time, but the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "Rather than us being bait, it seems to me that we are the ones who cast the bait." ”
"It is reported that if we continue to rush to yesterday's road, we should be able to rush to Chuzhou Yamen before the sun sets tonight."
"Also, we must remember that this time our identity is not an official but a businessman," Helian Chen was saying, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was thinking on the side.
The reason why Helian Chen did not reveal his true identity, but chose such a form of private interview, is probably to avoid suspicion.
And if he played the role of a wealthy businessman, I am afraid that no one would doubt it, and it would be easier to gain trust in the local area, so as to move between those officials and businessmen.
With such a witty idea, it is estimated that there is no one except the regent, thinking of this, the corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips hooked slightly, "Regent...... Wise! ”
Originally, Chu Xiaoxiang was praising Helian Chen, but who knows, now Helian Chen suddenly asked her: "You say I'm wise, then you sleep with me tonight?!" ”
"I ......" Chu Xiaoxiang was choked, unable to speak for a long time, she lifted her skirt and was about to run outside, seeing the county lord leaving like this, Tao Yao and Zhuohua also hurried up to follow.
In this way, the three of them re-embarked on the pace of southward travel, and although the noon mountain was scorched by the sun, even the earth was a little steaming.
But for the sake of the destination, everyone on the road worked together to hurry, and no one stopped.
It's just that when Chuzhou was about to approach the county office, there were two teams standing at the gate of the county office, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Xiaoxiang and others.
"Zhuohua, you go investigate and look at those people, the sun is so big, and they are still lined up at the door of the county office. Could it be that you want to recruit a son-in-law for the daughter of the county official? ”
As Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, she pursed the corners of her lips lightly, although she was just talking casually, but she felt that it seemed to make sense.
If it weren't for the recruitment of relatives to the government and yamen, who would rather face such a big sun and queue up for a long time, and would not want to leave for a long time?
Although Zhuohua was suddenly a little stunned by Chu Xiaoxiang's words, he quickly said to her again: "County Lord, you wait for me here, Zhuohua will come back when he goes." ”
Tao Yao was on the sidelines and saluted, and soon when Zhuohua returned, he brought an astonishing piece of news to Chu Xiaoxiang.
These people are waiting in line to come to see the county magistrate!
Because Chuzhou has long been dilapidated, the only people who are waiting to see the county officials and need to fight a lawsuit are very many.
"They said that whoever sends more things will be the first to meet the local officials here. Even ,......"
"What?" Hearing Zhuohua's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chu Xiaoxiang raised his eyebrows and asked with an incredulous expression.
At this time, Zhuohua nodded, pursed his thin lips, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Even, they say that the local officials here are all bought from a higher level for money!" ”
"What?" Chu Xiaoxiang was suddenly a little stunned, but he was very glad that he came to the south of the Yangtze River with Helian Chen this time, otherwise these strange scenes could not be bought with money in the capital.
Just Chu Xiaoxiang was a little annoyed in his heart, thinking that how could these county officials take the Fenglu of the imperial court, and still do evil for the sake of evil, and loot the hard-earned money of the common people!
At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was suddenly gently raised by Helian Chen on the side and patted her shoulder, "Madam, go." Let's go see the excitement too. ”
When Chu Xiaoxiang came back to her senses, she remembered the "madam" that Helian Chen was calling her just now, and indeed the identity he was playing now was his noble lady.
And Helian Chen's role is that of a wealthy businessman from the capital!
Helian Chen just stepped down from the carriage, raised his hand, and was still helping Chu Xiaoxiang hold the reins, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little favored, and gently lifted his chin.
Zhuohua and Taoyao were sitting in the back of the carriage, and when they first came to the gate of the county office, Helian Chen was about to walk in, but was suddenly stopped by the guards at the door.
"Who are you? How can you trespass here, do you know that this is the office of the county magistrate, and the place where the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife live, how can you make a fool of yourself? ”
