"This ......" Zhang Jing felt a little embarrassed and very helpless.

Why do you think it's like a debate?

And in all fairness, it was the three girls of his family who won the pretty......

It can be called thoughtful, objective and calm, with clear pros and cons.

Zhang Meishou retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Even so, I won't persuade more." But there is one point, if Shopkeeper Qiu wants to go on an adventure, he can only go alone, and he can't take Master Liu with him - because he is what we brought back. ”

Since she can't persuade her, she should keep her chips.

"You ......" Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly turned around again when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Meishou angrily.

Zhang Meishou looked at him without flinching.

"Why should I go alone?" Shopkeeper Qiu's face turned red, word by word, and his attitude was unusually firm.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." Zhang Jing stood up helplessly, pressed the shoulder of the shopkeeper Qiu, and let him sit down: "My little nephew's words, after thinking about it, are not completely unreasonable. Shopkeeper Qiu might as well calm down first, and then let's think about it in the long run. ”

Although they met, he also had some sincere respect for the shopkeeper Qiu.

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't speak for a while.

Zhang Jing left this room with Zhang Meishou.

Ah Li and Cotton followed.

Seeing that the little niece seemed to be a little bored, Zhang Jing took the person out of the inn to breathe.

By this time, it was getting a little dark.

"How is Vera so smart?" Walking and walking, Zhang Jing suddenly asked.

Zhang Meishou lowered his eyes, and his tone was still a little weak: "Who knows." ”

Zhang Jing choked when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing.

His niece is so cutely tight - unless, of course, when she is disobedient!

"Shopkeeper Qiu is a good person." Zhang Jing slowly put away his smile, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "I heard that his mother and wife were persecuted by the Qi County Order. ”

Zhang Meishou sighed when he heard this.

"Not only is he a good person, but he is also a rare good person." She doesn't deny that.

In order to help the victims, he donated all the rice and grain in the shop, and when he noticed something unusual, he did not hesitate to stand up and do justice.

Few people can do that for the sake of others.

However, from another point of view, if he hadn't been so impulsive at the beginning and could have thought carefully before breaking into the confrontation between the county government and the magistrate, there would not have been so many victims dying to protect him, let alone the current situation.

He's a good guy, but he's too eager to be a good guy.

He is also a respectable, pitiful, and angry good person.

But as an outsider, he can't be said to be wrong.

Moreover, along the way, he must have experienced too many life and death, human nature is sinister, and he has also hovered on the verge of life and death in panic many times - in this way, it is reasonable that anyone who is afraid will have a great change in temperament, and his mind cannot remain calm and rational.

She was also annoyed.

Thinking about it now, you shouldn't look at Shopkeeper Qiu with the attitude of a normal person.

"Zhen Zhen, why are you suspicious of Governor Wu?" Zhang Jing asked with some puzzlement: "The official reputation of the Wu Governor's Mansion has always been excellent, and it is very popular with the people of Huzhou. Even though I am far away in the capital, I have heard of it occasionally. ”

Zhang Meishou shook his head, and just wanted to say that he was not suspicious of Wu Huaimin, but he didn't know what he suddenly thought, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Jing.

"Third uncle, when my father went out, did the prince of Dingguo ask his father to bring a letter to Governor Wu?"

The reason why she remembered this incident was because her grandmother actually rewarded her with a lot of things for this incident - her grandmother felt that it was because she saved Wanxi that the prince of Dingguo would take special care of his father.

The letter said that it was piggybacking, but it was a real relationship for my father.

"Yes, that's the case!" Zhang Jing replied, his eyes had changed.

Gui'an County ordered to resell disaster relief food, and even the shopkeeper Qiu still wanted to go to the Huzhou Mansion to denounce it, so the second brother who had received a letter from the prince of Dingguo and had a one-sided relationship with the Huzhou prefect would have the same plan?

It's very likely!

If the second brother has no intention of interfering in this matter, and only seeks to protect himself, then it has been nearly a month and a half since his accident, and even if he has not returned home, there should not be no news sent home.

If the second brother is still safe and sound, he must be thinking about something......

"My father is never reckless, if he wants to go to the Huzhou Mansion, he must first get evidence." Zhang Meishou said as he estimated the time in his heart.

Depending on my father's meticulousness, a month and a half will be used to search for evidence, and there will be some gains.

Zhang Jing nodded and summoned an entourage.

"You take two people to pretend to be ordinary people, go to the Huzhou Mansion, and stay nearby to find out the news - if you see someone who looks similar to the second master, you must stop them in time." Zhang Jing never dragged his feet in doing things: "Without further ado, go now!" ”

As Zhen Zhen said, no matter whether the Huzhou government is innocent or not, but this is Huzhou, and it is a time of disaster, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

Lord Liu is almost here, so it would be more appropriate to wait patiently and try to meet Lord Liu to explain this matter at that time.

Shopkeeper Qiu had better not take risks!

Zhang Jing subconsciously looked at the inn behind him, and said to Zhang Meishou: "I'll go and persuade the shopkeeper Qiu again." ”

Zhang Meishou didn't speak, only nodded.

Zhang Jing turned back to the inn, and Zhang Meishou did not follow up immediately.

"Childe, the second old man Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will inevitably turn the danger into a disaster." Ah Li said in a relaxed tone.

As soon as the words fell, he pointed to the distance not far ahead and said, "Childe, there are many people there who put river lanterns!" By the way, today seems to be a beggar festival - son, let's go and take a look. ”

In the past, Huzhou City was very lively.

This year, due to the floods, countless houses were destroyed and countless innocent lives were lost, which cast a lingering haze over the entire city of Huzhou.

At this time, a group of people gathered here, and the river lanterns were not as delicate and diverse as in previous years, and they were all white.

The white paper, folded into the shape of a lotus flower, floats on the surface of the lake under the reflection of white wax, and is dotted yellow.

Some people are praying for blessings, some people are crying in low voices, bidding farewell to the souls of their loved ones.

"Auntie, the hole in the sky has been mended by Daddy, and it won't rain anymore, right?" A child's voice came, with joy, and shook the gloomy atmosphere of the crowd a lot.

A three- or four-year-old boy is barefoot, holding the woman in one hand and carefully pushing the lantern into the lake with the other.

It was a red river lamp.

Everyone looked over, and their eyes followed the bright red meaningfully.

The surface of the lake is calm, as if the red river lantern carrying countless hopes floats very steadily.

Ah Li also found a lamp out of nowhere and handed it to Zhang Meishou.

The water is almost at ground level, and the surface of the lake fluctuates slightly, and the water is about to splash your shoes.

Zhang Meishou bent down, gently put the river lantern into the water, and prayed in his heart that his father would be safe.

If she could, she hoped that the terrible riot would not happen again.

"Auntie!"

Standing up from the lake, the little boy who was about to leave slipped under his feet, and leaned in the direction of Zhang Meishou.

The woman hurried to take hold of the child.

The child was grabbed by the woman in time by an arm, and Zhang Meishou, who was bent over, was hit by this, but he threw himself straight into the lake in front of him!

"Childe!"

Ah Li, who was not far away, saw this scene, and was so shocked that the river lamp in his hand smashed on the ground and rushed over.

When his body was out of balance, Zhang Meishou suddenly noticed that there was an arm behind him and pulled him back in time.

She narrowly stabilized her body and subconsciously turned her head to look.

I thought it was cotton or Ah Li, but I was caught off guard, but what was close at hand was a familiar and childish boy's face.

“……”

Zhang Meishou's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
