Lin Boqin told Gu Jingtong about the three chapters of his agreement with Li Siniang.

Gu Jingtong plucked out his ears and looked at him in surprise: "Peizhi, you would agree to this kind of thing?" This doesn't match your attitude at all. ”

For several years as a classmate, Lin Boqin's rigidity and obedience to etiquette and morality are almost well known in the academy.

It stands to reason that Li Siniang's request would be rejected by him on the spot, but he didn't, but continued to act with her. To be honest, Lin Boqin himself didn't understand why he would agree so simply in the first place.

He frowned and said, "Mother, she is old, and she has been thinking about her father's promise back then, I just want her to rest assured." ”

Gu Jingtong thought of something else, and he asked, "But it's not a way for you to get along with Li Siniang like this." ”

"What do you mean?"

Lin Boqin asked sideways.

Gu Jingtong said: "Although Li Siniang doesn't care about you marrying a wife and taking a concubine, what if Li Siniang likes someone else?" If she wants to remarry, what should you do? ”

Lin Boqin had never considered this.

Just because Li Siniang was rude and rude, he never thought that anyone would want her.

Lin Boqin frowned, thought for a long time, and then said, "If this is the case, I naturally won't keep her by my side." Presumably, my mother knew that she had no intention of me, and she would not force her way. Gu Jingtong bowed his head slightly and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it so much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we will talk about the future in the future." ”

Lin Boqin smiled when he heard this: "Very much." ”

In the afternoon, Chu Cheng and Su Yu packed their bags and followed Yang La into the carriage.

Yang La drove in front, and Gu Jingtong led the other two officials to ride with him. When Chu Cheng saw him, she "brushed" the curtain on the ground, not wanting to have anything to do with him at all.

Gu Jingtong was happy.

Knowing that she and Lin Boqin were a superficial husband and wife, he cheekily knocked on the carriage carriage: "Mrs. Lin, why are you so unkind to you?" ”

Chu Cheng snorted coldly: "What do you care about me?" ”

The first impression is not good, and what is said later is also in vain.

Gu Jingtong was amused, he only thought Chu Cheng was very interesting: "Then how can Mrs. Lin not be angry?" ”

Chu Cheng deliberately made it difficult and stretched out a hand from the curtain of the car: "It's simple, bring fifty taels of silver." ”

The rough gray curtain sets off the slender jade hand even better, as if it is made of jade, and even the nails are round and pink.

Gu Jingtong's gaze fell on that hand.

He took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it in the palm of Chu Hui's hand: "It's not much every month, only three taels or six yuan." And he took a penny of silver from it, and gave it to his wife, and he repaid it one tael a year, and fifty years in full, and the excess should be interested. After he finished speaking, the people in the carriage did not answer, and were about to speak, when he saw Chu Cheng grasp the silver and retract his hand.

A crisp voice came from the carriage: "Okay. ”

Gu Jingtong couldn't help but smile.

Chu Cheng didn't know what Gu Jingtong was doing, anyway, she would take the money if she had it. She threw the silver to Su Yu and said, "Take it and buy sugar gourds to eat." ”

Su Yu held the money in both hands and was at a loss: "Buy sugar gourd...... It doesn't take so much. ”

Chu Cheng said a few more words to him, and then he carefully stuffed the silver into the small pocket of his underwear.

Qingyuan County and Fengshui County are not far away.

In less than an hour, they arrived in the territory of Fengshui.

Chu Cheng sat in the carriage and listened to Gu Jingtong and Yang Lapan talking.

"Then where does Ke Zhixi live in Fengshui?"

Yang La waved his horsewhip and said, "There are not many residents in Kejia Town, so it should be easy to find." ”

Gu Jingtong thought for a while and said, "Even if Ke Zhixi is found, I don't think there will be any progress in this case." ”

Yang La asked: "What does Gu Xiancheng mean by this?" ”

"Although Ke Zhixi is Li Zhongyi's neighbor, he is not involved in some things after all, and he can't know the truth." Gu Jingtong's tone paused, "But we are doing things in the county government, so we shouldn't let go of any clues." ”

When Su Yu in the carriage heard this, his heart fell to the bottom: "Madam, can't I still know the truth?" ”

Chu Hui's heart softened, and she hurriedly comforted him: "No." Then he lifted the curtain and said to Gu Jingtong: "Since this is the case, Gu Xiancheng should not worry about the sky there." ”

Gu Jingtong looked at her and felt funny: "Why did you disturb Mrs. Lin again?" ”

"Because what you're saying is all nonsense, I can't listen to it."

Chu Cheng glanced at him and got into the carriage again.

She slept with Su Yu, and when she woke up, she had already arrived in Kejia Town.

The population of Kejia Town is not large, and it is approaching dusk, only a few hawkers are preparing to close their stalls, and many shops are closed, which looks extremely deserted. The list at the entrance of the town is pasted with the sea fishing document of Jiang Yang's thief Yu Xuanji, which has been blown by the wind, and the specific appearance is not clear, but the few moles on the face are very clear.

Chu Cheng took a closer look and determined that this was the result of her "drawing snakes", and couldn't help but wonder: "How is this sea fishing document the same as that in Qingyuan County?" ”

She just did something on the sea fishing paperwork in Qingyuan County, and she never came to Fengshui County at all.

Gu Jingtong took a closer look and explained: "Qingyuan County is the border between Wangzhou and other states, and the documents issued by the imperial court are generally sent to Qingyuan first. The Qingyuan County Government will hand over to the Wangzhou Government Office, and then the Government Government will distribute it to the counties. ”

After hearing this, Chu Ji almost jumped up happily.

In this way, she is basically safe in Wangzhou! Don't be afraid that someone will think she looks like a wanted criminal, and don't worry that Huo Ying will come to arrest her! In addition, the original portrait is not similar to her, and she bears the name of "County Lady", so she can sit back and relax.

Gu Jingtong saw that her eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is Mrs. Lin happy about?" ”

Chu Ji gathered her expression and glared at him angrily: "Who told you that I was happy?" That Yu Xuanji has done all kinds of evil, and she hasn't caught it yet, I'm angry! ”

"Okay, well, Mrs. Lin is so distinctive even when she is angry."

"You have to take care of it."

Chu Cheng walked past him, deliberately stepped on him, stepped forward to pull Su Yu, and asked Yang La: "Do you know where Ke Zhixi lives?" ”

Yang La said with some hesitation: "Madam, what do you mean...... Let me send you to Mingyue Town, where Old Lady Lin is, first, and then ......"

Chu Cheng interrupted him: "You know I won't agree. ”

Yang La was responsible for picking up relatives from Yunzhou from the beginning, so she naturally understood what kind of temper Li Siniang was. is already tricky and eccentric on the road, and now that he is married to Lord Lin, he has no patience and is even more lawless. He didn't know why this drudgery wasn't handed over to Hu Yu, hey!

"That's it, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, Lord Lin won't know anything, and it will only take two days, and there will be no mistakes in the storage."

"But something went wrong, and I can't afford it."

"What's this, Lord Lin, he will punish you, and I will intercede for you." Chu Cheng blinked, "I will never embarrass you." ”

Chu Cheng is undoubtedly beautiful.

Such a big beauty threw flattering eyes at him, and Yang La, who had not yet married, was naturally fascinated by the seven meats and eight vegetables, and was about to nod, when he saw Gu Jingtong standing not far away, and his mind immediately sobered up: "...... No, madam, Gu Xiancheng is still there. ”

"What do you care about him?"

But seeing Yang La's cautious appearance, Chu Cheng had no choice but to turn around and walk up to Gu Jingtong in a few steps: "I'll go with you to find Ke Zhixi later, and then go to Mingyue Town to visit Old Madam Lin, you are not allowed to tell Lin Boqin about this." ”

Gu Jingtong asked knowingly: "But Lord Lin doesn't agree with you doing this. ”

"So what?" Chu Shentian's appearance of not being afraid of the ground made Gu Jingtong laugh.

He said, "In that case, madam, please take care of yourself." ”

Chu Cheng looked at him twice and said, "If you are tight-lipped, then you don't have to pay back the forty-nine taels of silver you owe." ”

Gu Jingtong smiled slightly, but he was suave: "This can't work, how can you regret what you promised." ”

"Quite conscious."

Chu Ji was impressed by him.

At this time, the two officials who went to inquire walked quickly and said to Gu Jingtong: "County Cheng, I found Ke Zhixi, he lives at the end of Tonggu Lane in Kejia Town, just ......"

"Just what?"

"The county will know when you go."

The words of the two officials aroused Chu Hui's curiosity.

She led Su Yu and followed Gu Jingtong, Yang La and others to Tonggu Lane, but found that it was very dilapidated, and the wind blew in the evening, which made people feel cold all over their bodies.

Most of the shops in Tonggu Lane are closed, but at the end of the shop is full of white flags and couplets, but the door is wide open.

On the threshold sat a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a short dress, with his hair disheveled, and he was digging wood with his head buried.

There are many coffins in the shop, and there are all kinds of incense wax paper money and wreath steles in the corner, which look gloomy and gloomy, and the smell of tung oil mixed with mildew from the shop is extremely unpleasant, Chu Cheng hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover his nose. Su Yu behind him also seemed to be scared, he approached Chu Cheng and poked his head out from behind her.

"Are you Ke Zhixi?"

She asked.

Ke Zhixi also seemed to be aware of the arrival, hurriedly raised his head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Want to buy a coffin?" ”

Su Yu was young, and he was startled by him, and he was busy covering his eyes.

Chu Ji and Gu Jing were also surprised.

The man with a disheveled head, with a pale face, thin and colorless lips, no eyes, but two holes in a black hole, lined with a coffin behind him, looked like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell.

Gu Jingtong was quite calm, he frowned and said, "We are not here to buy a coffin, we want to ask you about Li Zhongyi." ”

"Li Zhongyi?" Ke Zhixi was stunned, and he suddenly laughed strangely, "I haven't heard this name for many years." ”

He stood up, and everyone was surprised to realize that he was very tall, and Yang La was not short, but in front of Ke Zhixi, he was stunned and bowed his head.

Su Yu was even more frightened, huddled behind Chu Hui, and didn't dare to look at it.

Ke Zhixi obviously didn't have eyes, but everyone seemed to be able to feel the gaze he transmitted.

He held on to the door frame, and his voice was as rough as sandpaper: "Li Zhongyi...... What happened to him? ”
