The matter of Shangjun has finally settled, and with the appointment of the new county warden and the increasing stability of Sanpintang, the adjudicator branch has gradually begun to get on the right track, and those powerful people who had an ambiguous relationship with the low-grade adjudicators before have caught their tails with interest, and dare not act rashly anymore.

As for Huo Yi and the others, they still need to stay in Shangjun for a while, after all, they still need to check the selection of the new low-grade adjudicators, and Chen Tianze has become a dispensable idler, taking Hong Huangyan around all day long, ignoring Yan Jiansan and Lao Qu's feelings at all.

In the cold winter, there is not much time left before the New Year, Hong Huangyan was summoned home by a family letter, although Chen Tianze was recognized by the Hong Huang family, but after all, she is still the yellow flower girl to be married in the boudoir, and she still needs to go home for the New Year.

As soon as Hong Huangyan left, Chen Tianze had nothing to do at all, and stayed in the hotel with Yan Jiansan and Lao Qu all day long, staring at each other, with a big attitude of celebrating the New Year here. When the innkeeper saw this scene, he was frowning all day long, and he dared not speak out.

But fortunately, during this time, people kept coming, most of them came to find the young man who lived here, including Cao Hong, who is now promoted to the master of Sanpintang, and an unknown thin man, as well as Di Shoujie, who is now becoming more and more famous in the Shangjun army.

On this day, the sky was slightly gloomy, and there was a tendency for another heavy snowfall, Chen Tianze and a few people sat downstairs to eat and drink, and then leaned on the chair and chatted without a word, most of them were Chen Tianze asking some strange questions, Yan Jiansan was answering, and it was commonplace.

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of the inn, which made the innkeeper sitting in the distance look happy, and his heart couldn't help but bloom, and he had business to do.

The middle-aged man was burly, with an unconcealed killing aura on his face, which was unusual at first glance.

After walking into the hotel, the man first hugged his fists, said hello, and then directly took out a stack of things, handed them to Chen Tianze, who had a calm face, and then said goodbye and left.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, he couldn't help but want to jump to his feet and scold, and the special mother just came, why didn't she even want to drink a pot of tea and just left?

It's just that he doesn't like it, and the innkeeper can only endure it and dare not speak.

On the other side, after Chen Tianze took the stack of packages, he gently placed them on the table and exhaled deeply, but did not open the package.

"What's the matter? What kind of treasure is it? I haven't seen your surname Chen like this, and you don't even dare to hit a package?" Yan Jiansan naturally noticed the package, and when he saw Chen Tianze behaving like this, he grinned angrily.

Indeed, these days are really boring, there was a little Sang Yu playing with before, now it's okay, Sang Yu is gone, Liu Mei is gone, even the Hong Huangyan is gone, only the three big men are left staring at each other, no fun.

Lao Qu smiled and was silent.

"The seniors don't know, this is my agreement with the old yellow head, and now this package has determined my whereabouts, and it is very likely that I will not return to the state. Chen Tianze took a deep breath and chuckled.

"Is that the old Wang Ba who is shrinking in Bingzhou? He is calm, what's the matter, he thinks that the old guy surnamed Tuoba can't fight and wants to get involved with you?" Yan Jian san paused for a moment and muttered: "Don't say that the old man said you, those people are all old Wang Ba who has become a fine man, not to mention that he has a lot of patience, and his surname is Chen, don't be fooled." ”

Chen Tianze shook his head and said: "Before leaving Bingzhou City, I had a conversation with Lao Huangtou, and it was not appropriate to say that it was to be used, it could only be said that it was mutually beneficial, as for who could have the last laugh, it was hard to say." ”

"You're so confident in yourself?" Yan Jiansan said with a roll of eyes.

Chen Tianze nodded and smiled: "Yes." ”

Yan Jian was so angry that he almost didn't come up in one breath, waved his hand and said, "Come on, what's the use of spending so many words, just take it apart and take a look." ”

Chen Tianze shook his head suddenly, put the package under his hand, hesitated, turned his head and said, "Let's not look at it, it's about to be the New Year, I don't want to ask for this bad luck." Senior, Lao Qu, where are we going to celebrate the New Year?"

Yan Jiansan rolled his eyes and said: "The old man is lonely, and not everywhere he goes. ”

Then Chen Tianze turned his head to look at Lao Qu, only to see Lao Qu smile and say softly: "Listen to the young master." ”

Chen Tianze had a headache, glanced at the gray sky outside the window, and suddenly said: "Let's go to Xihe County, there are some acquaintances there, and the New Year will be more lively." ”

Yan Jiansan pursed his lips, noncommittal, while Lao Qu nodded heavily and smiled.

A few snowflakes finally fell in the gray sky, and although it was not big, it quickly dyed the ground white.

In the snowflakes, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove away from Shangjun and headed south.

――

Sizhou Prefecture City.

A young man with a grim face stood at the head of the city, looking at the fluttering snowflakes, and suddenly his expression moved, and he turned away from the city.

After a while, I rode out of the city.

――

Westriver County.

A new restaurant was opened in the west of the city, the restaurant area is not large, but because of the low price of wine and food, the proprietress is still a plump and beautiful woman, so even if it is close to the end of the year, it is also a booming business.

Most of the people who came to the restaurant were men, most of them were local magnates with a lot of money, and one or two wealthy merchants who came from other counties and counties specially came to order a few drinks and dishes in the restaurant, just to see the rumored beautiful and plump proprietress in the restaurant.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, but for some reason, today's proprietress lost the interest in entertaining guests, and handed over the restaurant to a guy to help take care of it, and she disappeared.

The business in the restaurant is booming, and many diners who come here unconsciously look around, but they still haven't been able to see the rumored proprietress anymore, but most of them are embarrassed by their faces.

However, there was a table of bold diners who grabbed the guy with the intention of drinking, asked the proprietress loudly where she went, and asked the proprietress to come out to accompany the drink. Naturally, the guy didn't dare to offend the diners, so he had to explain patiently and apologize in a low voice. Unexpectedly, the diners at that table did not give up, made a loud noise, and even began to smash the table, causing the surrounding tables of diners to be startled and hurriedly scattered.

I thought that the proprietress would come forward when the tense was at this point, but I never thought that the proprietress did not appear, but a few fierce and vicious characters appeared, and they poured into the restaurant.

Before the lively people came back to their senses, the tense completely calmed down. The troublesome diners were carried out like chickens by a few fierce guys who suddenly rushed in, and they didn't forget to pay the bill and lose money.

Downstairs is noisy, but on the top floor of the restaurant, in a warm and comfortable boudoir, the proprietress of this restaurant should have ignored the mess that happened under the restaurant for the first time, just sat in front of the window, opened the window and looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, stunned.

Looking at the snowflakes in the sky, she thought of the handsome boy, remembered the few words of ridicule that only moved her mouth but did not use her hands, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Immediately, the plump woman covered her chest, her eyes became misty, her lips and teeth opened lightly, and she let out a faint greasy moan.

"Childe ......"

After a long time, the proprietress exhaled, her body trembled slightly, and her cheeks flushed.

At the bottom of the street, a few young urchins play around in the snowflakes, holding snowballs with their red little hands, while laughing and singing a popular children's rhyme.

"Heavy snow covers the ground, and it will rain in the coming year. ”

"Spring goes to autumn and comes again, and the fruit is full of branches. ”

"It's late to want snow, will the son return?"

"Childe will not return?"
