In casual conversations with other officials, Mrs. County Cheng often heard people mention that since her husband got married for a few years, he rarely accompanied him to the market anymore. It's just that when the newlywed Yan'er is married, there will be a year or two when they will take the initiative to ask to accompany their wife to the market, and even many people will no longer accompany their wife to the market after a few months and a half.

I often hear wives say that men are like this, no matter how beautiful a woman is, no matter how virtuous a woman is, she will get tired of it. Getting tired of facing the same woman day and night seems to be a common problem among men. It's something that can't be changed.

Although Mrs. Xiancheng knew that her relationship with her husband was very good, so even though her husband had never accompanied her to the market since she got married, she never complained, and she was not even unhappy in her heart.

She knew that her husband had always admired those who cultivated the Great Dao of Qi and Zhiping. The husband is ambitious, she loves him so she will never restrain him, even if he is still in the position of county prince after many years.

But what's going on tonight? I feel like my husband is a different person, holding her hand, she came to the dining room embarrassed, and then he served her several dishes during the banquet, which made people middle-aged and accustomed to seeing a lot of lovers, you and me, she also had crimson cheeks, and it was difficult to sit still.

The next day, the county lord got up early and really took his wife to the market.

"Husband, you're busy with you, I..."

"Today, I will accompany you to the market, we won't go back at noon, just eat outside, and don't go back until dark. ”

He smiled and touched her face, which was no longer smooth and fair, and said softly.

She almost burst into tears, turned around to calm down, and then turned her face with a smile on her face, and said, "Thank you, husband, I will let my husband go back with sore legs today." ”

"Okay, don't go home if you don't get sore. ”

When it got dark, the county husband and wife returned home, and the servants who followed behind them were all carrying a lot of things.

Lying in bed at night, the county man hugged his wife, and after his wife fell asleep, he couldn't sleep anymore. Looking up at the faint beams, he thought a lot.

What comes to mind the most is the worry about the uncertain future. Chen Lotian came to negotiate with him and told him that everything was known to him, and he Chen Lotian had become the man who wielded the knife. From the heart of the county, the county respects the knife, of course, it is better to hand over the knife to Chen Letian

in the hand of the bearer.

From the eyes of the people, the county lord is a good official who is as clear as the water sleeve and the breeze, but what the truth is, or how many dirty things the county zun has done in private that are not known, the county lord does not know.

But the county knows one thing, and that is what the county lord looks like every time he threatens him. That's not what a good official should look like, by no means.

That night, Lord Xianzun appeared to save him, and he was very grateful, and if it weren't for Xianzun, he might have been in a cell at this moment, waiting to be interrogated.

But a few days later, the county lord suddenly came to him, changed his tone and attitude. From a great benefactor a few days ago to a knife to persecute him...

Later, there were many times when the county lord took a knife and tried it on his neck.

That's not a gentleman's doing!

And Chen Letian, although he has a knife in his hand, Chen Letian's attitude is still like a gentleman. I could kill you at any time, but I have to make it clear to you. Who gave you the handle in my hands.

Although both of these have threatening meanings, the feeling for the county is by no means the same.

The county Cheng didn't think that Chen Letian would let him go, but felt that even if Chen Letian didn't let him go, what Chen Letian wanted to do would never be like what the county zun did, in order to control him, for Bazhong City is the absolute status of his county zun Yiyantang.

As Chen Letian himself said, I always have to leave, I am not here to fight with you for power and profit, these things will not be in my eyes at all.

It has been said that without a conflict of interest, you cannot be an enemy. This is very reasonable, and it is also very suitable for the relationship between Xian Cheng and Chen Letian.

Xian Cheng now understands that even if he is finally brought to justice, he doesn't want to live this kind of controlled life again. Otherwise, wouldn't he have read so many sage books in vain in his life?

Yesterday, he thought about it in the study for an afternoon, and finally figured out that instead of suffering in his heart for the rest of his life, it is better to let go of everything and face it frankly. Even if his reputation is ruined, as long as his wife and children can be saved, he will no longer have to worry about it.

So he wants to spend the few remaining days with his wife, and tomorrow, he also wants to take his children out for a walk, visit the market, step on the spring grass and enjoy the spring flowers.

Then go and be beheaded in peace

As for Chen Letian's request, Chen Letian's request is actually not a requirement at all. To do what a county should do, this requirement is equivalent to no requirement for him now. He just wants to be a truly upright county man, not a puppet, not a pitiful worm at the mercy of others.

"Madam, you must be able to understand me!" the county turned his head, and in his heart, he said to the lady beside him.

---

"Xiancheng is a poor man. Chen Letian said to Li Xuan'er, and the two were lying in the bed.

"I didn't expect it to go so well, you convinced him the first time you went, and I'm worried that he won't believe it. Li Xuan'er said.

Chen Letian said: "Xiancheng is a smart person, do you have to bring Gui Zhi to him for him to believe? ”

Li Xuan'er said: "The county is indeed pitiful. I thought about it later, the county lord has only done that one wrong thing in his life, except for that incident, he can be regarded as a good person, although not necessarily a good official, but he is indeed a good person. ”

Chen Letian said: "So I decided to save the county lord and eliminate his trouble." ”

Li Xuan'er immediately turned her head: "What are you going to do? I don't allow you to hurt Gui Zhi!" This is probably the first time Li Xuan'er has spoken to Chen Letian in this tone, and there is a momentum in her words that she has never had in the past.

Seeing her like this, Chen Letian smiled: "Xuan'er is so amazing, it scared me." ”

"Brother Lotte, don't think about hurting Gui Zhi, I will never agree!" In the dark, Li Xuan'er stared at Chen Letian's eyes.

Chen Letian shook Li Xuan'er's hand in the quilt and said, "Where do you want to go, I never thought about hurting Gui Zhi, do you think I mean to kill Gui Zhi? Then you are wrong." Gui Zhi, I must give her freedom, she is the biggest victim, since I see it, I will definitely save her. ”

"Then how do you say to eliminate the trouble in the county?" Li Xuan'er was relieved.

Chen Letian said: "I won't tell you first, you will know when you see it then." However, the county has to cooperate. I am prepared with both hands, and if the county cooperates, then everyone will be happy. If the county doesn't cooperate, then I'll put Guizhi by your side, and if you take her to Chengdu, let her go to Chengdu to live and leave this sad place. ”
