Since that day, Hua Yulou has not appeared, and I don't know where he went. Zhuang Rou is not in a hurry, anyway, the injury is not complete, and it is okay to come a few days later.

Under the supervision of the master, the accounts of the Qinglou and the gambling house were all settled in a few days, and the silver was honestly sent over. The entire Hongzhou government seemed to have been promoted, and everywhere they went, they were beaming with joy.

Before the money was divided, everyone had already calculated how much they could get and where they would use it. As for the things used to help orphans and homeless people, everyone wanted to do it, but they were afraid that they would get too close to Chu Xia, so they were all on the sidelines.

After all, looking at the importance that Lord Zhizhou attaches to this matter, there should be a lot of oil and water, and whether you can eat it or not depends on your personal ability.

And the Liu family didn't want to go home so rashly, so after writing a letter, Zhuang Rou asked Chu Xia's entourage to send it out. Fortunately, the road was not far, and their horses were strong, and the eldest brother of the Liu family followed five days later.

As early as on the road, I had already inquired about my sister's suffering here, and when the eldest brother of the Liu family saw Liu, the brother and sister hugged their heads and cried. If he hadn't stopped it, he would still want to go to the Xu family to seek justice.

Liu remembered what Zhuang Rou said, and didn't dare to say anything about the silver and the fields, and was ready to go home and talk about it in front of his parents. only mentioned that he could get twenty taels of silver every year, which also made the eldest brother overjoyed.

Chu Xia also talked and counted, and sent two entourages to escort the Liu family back, after all, they had to help her buy land and naturalize.

"If anyone is embarrassed by you over there, write to Hongzhou, I should stay here for a short time. But I think the adults have arranged it for you, so you shouldn't go wrong. Zhuang Rou stood at the door of the side of the state government and admonished Liu.

Liu wiped her tears, said a blessing to her, and went to the yamen to greet and thank Lord Zhizhou, who had not seen it at all.

"Thank you, sir, there is no way to repay the grace of saving your life, you can only repay your lord by being a cow and a horse in the next life." She really didn't know how to thank her, so she could only say sincerely.

Zhuang Rou smiled, "I don't drive again, what do you want you to do, if you really want to be in the next life, you can change a vine and give me grapes all year round." ”

"Ahh Liu Shi was stunned, and said helplessly, "Thank you, my lord, the woman is gone." ”

"Go ahead, I think your eldest brother is not bad either." Zhuang Rou nodded, glanced at the eldest brother of the Liu family who was sitting with the groom, and after a day of contact, she felt that although people had the shrewdness of a business vendor, their concern for the Liu family was also sincere.

If life is not good, it is indeed difficult to take the two girls and nieces who have an idle meal back. But he didn't hesitate, and according to the entourage, the whole family was still holding their heads and crying at that time.

After going back this time, there will be a field to protect him, and Liu's life will not be sad.

Liu thanked his daughter and got into the carriage, went out for a long time, and came out of the car and waved his hand to her, until the car turned a corner.

"I did a good deed that had a beginning and an end, and I was really comfortable." Zhuang Rou clasped her hands and nodded, and her shoulder was suddenly patted.

She was taken aback, turned around sharply and scolded, "Who! When he turned around, he saw Chen Mufeng raising his hand to look at him.

"Mu Feng, I haven't seen you much in the past few days, I heard that you are either stuffed in the room or run out to solve your unsolved case. Is it that the case can't be solved and you want to ask me for help? Zhuang Rou immediately laughed when he saw that it was him, and after shooting arrows from the wall that day, he looked sullen, and he didn't know where he was crazy.

Chen Mufeng was in a very low mood, "Sister Zhuang, I want to talk to you." ”

"Okay, I cooled a watermelon in the well, and I just happened to talk while eating." Zhuang Rou patted him on the back, wanting him to eat some watermelon to be happy, but found that he seemed to have lost a little weight, and his muscles were not as thick as before.

This kid didn't eat and drink spicy food in Shangshu Mansion, but he lost weight, isn't that muscle or fat?

She returned to the courtyard and fished out a bamboo cage from the well, in which a watermelon was placed. I've been in the water since last night, and it's very cool to the touch.

After cutting the watermelon, Zhuang Rou handed a large piece to Chen Mufeng, and he held half of the watermelon and scooped the flesh of the melon with a spoon and ate it, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Chen Mufeng looked at the watermelon cube in front of him, looked up at her half of the watermelon again, and swallowed back such an inelegant word. He didn't touch the watermelon, and said very unappetizingly: "Sister Zhuang, we want to be good people, right?" ”

"Huh? Why do you ask like this, I just sent Liu away, and you came to ask me this. Zhuang Rou glanced up at him, looking at his energyless appearance, he only felt that he had wasted watermelon.

Chen Mufeng said with some embarrassment: "Sister Zhuang, I always feel that what we are doing now is not good. Those Qinglou gambling houses are also reported by the government, and they are serious about taxes and business places, so we go directly to rob other people's shares, what is the difference between them and robbers? ”

"Moreover, a few days ago, I also shot arrows at the people, and I went to inquire later, and several of them are still lying in bed and can't get up, and their injuries are very serious."

Zhuang Rou dug a big spoonful of melon flesh in the middle of the watermelon, put it in her mouth and said while eating: "Didn't you shoot happily that day?" The bag on the head is swollen, and even the gall is gone? ”

"Sister Zhuang, I'm not gut, I'm just very troubled, don't we just want to be a good official and a good person before we come to be arrested?" Chen Mufeng said annoyedly.

Zhuang Rou took a big bite of watermelon and looked up at him, "Who told you that I came to be arrested in order to be a good person?" ”

When you should be arrested, you don't want to be a good person, if you want to eliminate harm for the people, can you still do it for the sake of money? Chen Mufeng looked at her in surprise, if it weren't for the presence of the King of Yinde County, he wouldn't be able to be greedy for any money!

"I just want to use power to bully people who don't like it, and if I want to do whatever I want, I don't have to have power. Although it is small to be arrested, as long as you find someone with a backer to carry the black pot, you can also bully powerful people. Zhuang Rou didn't even hide it, and said to him bluntly.

If she wants to protect her brother, no one will believe it, and she would rather say her true intentions after protecting her brother, which is more convincing.

Chen Mufeng didn't believe it at all, "Sister Zhuang, but you are doing these things for the people, and I support you very much in helping orphans." But shooting people, I think about it afterwards and feel that it was too much, and I feel very guilty. ”

"And what do you want?" Zhuang Rou looked at him and asked.

"I want to prepare some gifts of medicinal herbs, go and see those injured people, and give them a gift......" Chen Mufeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and his heart became inexplicably empty.

Zhuang Rou raised her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped the watermelon juice on her mouth, looked at him and praised: "Mu Feng, you are really a good boy, you have no future with me, go to the army to exercise." ”

Chen Mufeng raised his head in surprise, "Sister Zhuang, I said a long time ago that I wanted to go to the army, but my father wouldn't let me go." So you think I'm a good fit for ......."

Before he finished speaking, half of the watermelon was directly buckled on his face, and then it was completely crushed by Zhuang Rou, and the broken watermelon was thrown to the ground by her with Chen Mufeng.

Zhuang Rou grabbed his shirt, pulled it in front of him, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Go to the army for a few years, crawl a few laps in the corpse group, and then you can know that with your temperament, you should go home and be your son-in-law, and be a waste who can only show off his muscles in front of the nobles!" ”

She pushed Chen Mufeng down, stood up and looked at him and said, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, let me go home if it's crooked!" If you want to go to the army, you can do it, I will give you a fake name and a road guide, go out and buy a horse, ten taels of silver is enough for you to ride to the border pass to join the army. ”

"How? I'm afraid you won't dare to go. ”
