Chapter 45: The Vigil
Chen Xunting stood in the applause, only feeling embarrassed, and Chuxia, the king of the little county, also applauded, and kept looking at him and smiling, and his eyes seemed to make him clap his hands together.
Obviously, you can stop with a few casual shots, but Zhuang Rou kept shooting excitedly, without the slightest intention of stopping, and stared at him with anticipation on her face. She didn't stop Ma Dezheng and they didn't stop clapping, just kept clapping, and it got louder and louder.
In order to end this embarrassing scene as soon as possible, Chen Xunting had to applaud as well, thinking that he would stop after a few shots. Unexpectedly, when the people in the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall saw that the young master was applauding, they naturally took him first, and as long as their hands were not broken, they all followed and patted.
This can make Chen Xunting angry, he only hates these martial artists who usually only practice and don't learn Braille, and their brains are as empty as idiots, how can they applaud now!
"Hahaha, it's great that the misunderstanding has finally been resolved. Everyone was injured, and the king couldn't bear it, so each person was rewarded with one or two taels of silver, plus nine hundred copper coins, and took them to buy a few elbows to cook soup and make up for it. Chu Xia saw that this was enough, so he signaled everyone to stop applauding, and said while the iron was hot.
It sounds like a lot of money, but if you do the math carefully, you can see that it is pitifully small, and it is just divided into silver and copper coins.
Zhuang Rou proposed: "Why don't you go to the restaurant and set up a few tables to celebrate, it's easy to solve the problem and not easy to settle." ”
"Good! I'm going to eat pork knuckle! Niu Dayong immediately suggested that there was no better idea than to eat.
Chen Xunting couldn't eat anything now, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment, he clenched his fists and said to Chu Xia: "Your Highness, if it's okay, I'll take people away." ”
"No problem, what are you still doing in a daze, go and release the people who are locked up in the prison, those are all people from the training court, not some lake bandits." Chu Xia didn't leave him either, and said with a boat down the river.
Chen Zhongping thought that his young master was very powerful, so the Douhu County Ya released them. He was very angry when he was helped out by the two, and wanted to use Chen Xunting to extinguish the prestige of the woman who should be arrested.
As soon as he walked to the lobby, before he had time to complain to his young master, he saw Chen Xunting look at him with an ugly face, and said goodbye to the little county king and walked away.
"Young Master!" He wanted to catch up, but the injury on his thigh was so distressing that he had to ask his subordinates to hurry up and help him follow, and he still had something to say to the young master.
When he arrived outside the county office and was helped into a carriage, Chen Zhongping shouted in shock: "What's going on, why are all our people injured!" ”
"Big brother, that woman should be arrested and led someone to take our martial arts hall to us, and beat all the brothers like this. Moreover, he tied up the young master here and forced him to make this matter a big deal, not only can he no longer make a living in the future, but he also has to spit out the money he collected before! One of his subordinates said angrily.
This can no longer collect money, and if you get a little less benefit, the future will not be easy at all, alas!
Chen Zhongping looked at him in shock, just that little Yingchuang, how bold is he?
The young master is the nephew of the queen's mother, and he really has some corner and distant relations with the queen mother, how can he be like a flat-headed commoner, so let someone be caught for fish and meat!
He struggled to stand up, "No, I have to talk to the young master, how can we just eat this loss!" ”
"Boss, the young master is in a bad mood now, let's wait until I go back." Seeing that his legs were injured and that he was going to the front, his subordinates hurried to persuade him.
Chen Zhongping looked at his subordinates who were slashed in the carriage and snorted in pain, and slowly calmed down, what they need most now is treatment!
"Okay, let's go back first, this account will be settled slowly in the future!"
Chen Xunting took everyone away, and the county government was full of joy, and the master calculated the accounts, as long as every shop was willing to hand over the silver, plus those that Chen Xunting spit out, it was enough to repair this broken county office.
"Great, I won't have to wear these shabby clothes anymore!" Wu Renyao said happily, girls like him more when they dress beautifully, and clothing is also very important.
And Niu Dayong patted his belly and said, "I've lost so much hunger and weight, I can finally eat big elbows." ”
Everyone looked at his fat belly, they really felt sorry for his family, how hard it would be to feed him!
Diao Yi said excitedly and with some worry: "Are those merchants really willing to pay?" Since I was transferred here, I haven't received a single copper coin. ”
His words suddenly made the atmosphere worse, but fortunately, Ma Dezheng stood up, holding the saber and said with a smile on his face: "This is all our lords' wisdom and martial arts, as long as you show your face, you will make Chen Xunting scared and leave with a gray head and a gray head." Adults are really immortals, not only handsome and chic, but also extremely brave! ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, what the hell is this talking about, it is us who brought Chen Xunting bravely!
Ma Dezheng was happily patting, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhuang Rou looking at him with a dissatisfied face, so he quickly rubbed his hands and smiled: "Of course, there is also our Sister Zhuang, the first person in the ages, the heroine among women, and the first god in the world!" ”
"Okay, this sycophant is really bad." Chu Xia waved his hand and told them all to get out, and they could already close the door and go back to eat. He doesn't live in the county government, and before it was repaired here, the official documents were taken home by the master, and there was no need to keep anyone here.
Everyone saw that the adults were annoyed by them, but each of them had a few hundred copper coins on them, so they didn't stay here to beg for disgust, and hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Xia and went back happily.
Zhuang Rou also shared a part of the copper coin, although it was not bad, but he felt that if he brought back some of his brother's favorite food, he would definitely be very happy.
She just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chu Xia, only to see him say with a smile on his face: "How is it, are you injured today?" ”
"No, thank you for your concern." Zhuang Rou was a little surprised that he still had a considerate side.
Chu Xia nodded and said with a smile: "Then you will keep vigil here tonight, and I will send someone to bring you a bed and futon." ”
Zhuang Rou asked inexplicably: "Why, what is there to keep in these rags?" ”
"Because I want you to keep it, you have to stay here because I'm not happy. You actually arrested Chen Xunting, if it weren't for the cleverness of this king, maybe it would have been planted in your hands. Although Chu Xia smiled, he could hear that his tone was very unhappy.
The corners of his mouth curled and he smiled, "You are my subordinate, you have to listen to me, you don't report it all day long, you don't give you a lesson, I don't know who is an adult and who is a subordinate!" ”
Zhuang Rou stared at him expressionlessly, seeing that Chu Xia took a step back, this guy wouldn't want to do it, right? The four guards were also made like fried cats by her, and they all stared at her vigilantly to prevent her from making a sudden move.
At this time, I saw Zhuang Rou put her hands together, and the expression on her face suddenly changed, Chu Chu was pitiful and very cute, and she pouted and said in a loud voice: "My lord, I will be scared if it is dark and cold here at night." Just let me go home, it looks like it's haunted when it's dark, and there must have been people dead in the prison, and people will be afraid. ”
Chu Xia looked at her with a shocked face, pointed at her and even trembled, almost shouting with a roar: "Don't think that you can escape by pretending to be pitiful, it's not like I haven't seen you beat someone!" If this king doesn't eat your set, you will stay here honestly for me! ”
"Let's go, let's go back!" He called out to Xiao Ran and them, and strode towards the door, as if there were dogs chasing after him.
Seeing him leave ruthlessly, Zhuang Rou smiled badly, why did she run so fast without eating this set, and her voice was so loud.
There is no one in the entire county government except for her, and after the assassin caught last time was interrogated by Shi Zang, he didn't die overnight, and it is said that none of the people who have been interrogated under that person are alive.
The people have long been dragged to the mass grave, and Ding Lian'er's cousin, although he robbed the tomb, the case was covered up, and because of his meritorious service in saving people, the Ding family was unwilling to plead and was released.
Whether or not he gave Chu Xia silver, Zhuang Rouke didn't know, and he wouldn't give it to her anyway.
However, when he went out from the yamen that day, several people came to the Ding family, and he also brought a strong family member, and he directly dragged the people away, and he didn't know what the family was going to quarrel about.
If you can't go back, you have to talk to your brother, Zhuang Rou walked outside the yamen and waited for a long time, only to see a vendor who closed the stall, so he arrested him, gave him twenty copper plates, and asked him to deliver a letter to his home, and he couldn't go back tonight.
The peddler saw her beating Chen Zhongping during the day, and he didn't dare to ask for money, but after being shoehorned over, he didn't dare to delay at all and rushed to the Jingmen City, he didn't want to smash the errand of such a wicked official.
The gate of the county government is still not repaired, Chu Xia thinks that the ordinary door is too bad, and he must wait for the silver to come to repair a red lacquer gate with copper nails, anyway, there is nothing to steal, so it is so rotten.
Zhuang Rou casually ordered some food in the restaurant opposite, sat alone in the county office and finished eating, and received the futon sent by Yang Qing when it was getting late.
"This place is really not a place where people sleep, and there are so many mosquitoes." Yang Qing stretched out his hand to slap a mosquito to death, complained and jumped onto the eaves under Zhuang Rou's angry gaze, stepped on the roof and left.
"Hmph, it's better to fall into someone else's bathroom, so that you can be called a flower thief." Zhuang Rou muttered, knowing that there were many mosquitoes and not bringing wormwood over, how could he sleep in the open air this night.
It was getting darker, so she sat in the courtyard behind the lobby, lit a lantern, and bored herself with the mosquitoes flying around.
The shops on the street were also closed one by one, and the Fengyue place by the lake became more and more lively, but because it was a little far away, the noisy and lively sound did not reach this side, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.
Zhuang Rou yawned, the night in early spring was still a little cool, she stood up and picked up the futon sent by Yang Qing, and wanted to put it on her body.
Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air, pierced through the bedding with a thud, and grazed her arm and plunged heavily into the ground.
