Chen Yuan was in a daze for a long time, not knowing what mood he was in.

is mostly afraid of Tang Sai'er, and has never thought about any love problems.

Suddenly, he heard movement outside the house, and quickly ran into the bed, pretending to be asleep.

"I'm pretending to be asleep, get up." Geng Cairuo arrived, and his face was not very good-looking.

Chen Yuan deliberately yawned, pretending to "wake up", and said, "Cairuo, you're here." ”

"Tang Sai'er's big beauty is sent to the door, don't you want it?"

This vinegar jar, you won't see anything, right? Chen Yuan carefully observed her expression and said in shock: "What? Doncell? What are you talking about? The remnants of the Shandong White Lotus Sect, what? Has she been here? ”

Pretending, Geng Cairuo was angry: "You really don't know Tang Sai'er?" ”

Chen Yuan sneered: "I know it, I know it, I was arrested by her for so long, I almost lost my life, and I died for a lifetime, how can I forget." ”

"She saved you that day?"

"Ahem, yes, I didn't expect her to come."

"yes, you didn't expect that she would give you a life—give you clothes, right?"

"What? She gave you this garment? Didn't you bring it? Ouch, she's a thief, throw it away quickly, Cairuo, you have to believe me, I'm very innocent with her. "I don't have enough confidence to say this.

Innocent, is it innocent to have a son? Cai Ruo gritted her teeth: "You really don't know anything?" ”

Chen Yuan was so strange, there seemed to be something in Cai Ruo's words, so he asked, "What do I know?" ”

Cai Ruo grabbed Chen Yuan: "If you don't know, forget it." ”

"What?" What the hell is Cai Ruo talking about? Chen Yuan was confused.

"I don't care, Tang Sai'er and her-Sister Mingyan are about to give birth, hurry up, I want it too, if you don't get pregnant tonight, don't want to go out."

"One night, how can it be so fast?"

"I don't care, you don't think about other women tonight"

"Huh? Cairuo- that's not very good, ah, I mean it's a chincha-"

"Less nonsense—"

After a while, Geng Cairuo lay in his arms and asked Jiaodidi: "Why did Tang Sai'er send you clothes?" She asked knowingly.

Chen Yuan knew that she was jealous, but he didn't know her careful thoughts, so he shook his head honestly and said: "Cai Ruo, you have to believe me, I really have nothing to do with her, she gave me clothes, maybe she felt guilty about me, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"It's the night I just arrived in Jinan, that is, the day you splashed me, ouch, I forgot, said, I haven't counted the account that day?"

"Well, what do you want?"

"At least thirty spanking, no, eighty-"

"Twenty"

"Seventy"

"Thirty"

"Sixty, absolutely indispensable."

"Thirty-five, absolutely no more-"

One night needs no description.

The next day, after dinner, Chen Yuan and Chen Xun, accompanied by Lu Shi, first arrived in Qingzhou, and then to the villages below Qingzhou.

Before Chen Yuan arrived, the Qingzhou Governor Feng Governor hurriedly asked people to clean the yamen, and urgently asked people to check whether the displaced people had been properly settled, until his subordinates reported that everything was in order, he tidied up his clothes and went out of the city to meet the Qin Cha.

He was one of the few prefects left who had not been punished, so he was trembling when he saw Chen Yuan, lest something go wrong.

Under the rule of Li Xiang in Shandong, Li Xiang was insatiable, appointing others for himself and excluding dissidents. In order to be able to be an official here, it is impossible for Governor Feng to be innocent, otherwise he would have been isolated long ago. He also secretly stammered with Li Xiang, and it was also occasional to send people to send silver to women, but those who flattered and befriended the officials were not necessarily corrupt officials, and Governor Feng still cherished the local government very much.

He studied hard for ten years, entered high school, and worked hard for twenty years to become an official from the fourth grade, and he also wanted to make some political achievements. However, in the extremely complex place of officialdom, how can you do things with enthusiasm?

Hai Rui was spotless, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, leaving only one person with a clear name, for the country and the people, but he did not leave anything, failed to let the people eat more, and failed to make the treasury more fulfilling.

Fan Zhongyan was worried about the world first, and the world was happy after that, and implemented reforms, but can you say that he is a clean official?

Zhang Juzheng was also a powerful minister and a corrupt official, but he carried out reforms and implemented a whip law, which greatly simplified the tax system and facilitated the collection of taxes. At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, which in turn increases fiscal revenue. It is a social change with far-reaching historical impact in the history of China.

Human nature is very complex, there are good and evil, there are demons, and there are pure good, but it is more of the mean, and good and bad cannot be evaluated one-sidedly. A good official is not necessarily without shortcomings, and a dull official is not necessarily useless. In a complex environment, sometimes in order to do things and protect yourself, you have to do something against your will.

Governor Feng is such a mediocre official, he wants to do things, but he must keep his position first, so he can't help but do something that caters to his wishes, so that he can do things for the people when he can.

Chen Yuan knew that in ancient officialdom, corrupt officials would not work, and clean officials would not work, as long as they were worthy of their hearts and the people, they would be the best officials.

With pickles, he and Chen Xun simply ate a few steamed buns, and then began to inspect the Qingzhou jurisdiction.

In the past two days, it has been raining heavily, and Chen Yuan is worried that there will be problems after the rainstorm, so he came to see it.

Qingzhou, a stone shed, here is his past.

The mountain was bare, with only a few trees, and there were still traces of fire on the branches.

Many places have planted dealers, which shows that the governance of Governor Feng's mansion is still good.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chen Yuan in a daze, Chen Xun asked puzzled.

Chen Yuan came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing, I just remembered some of the past." ”

Governor Feng interjected: "I heard that the Lord was brave and good at fighting, and he was able to deal with the White Lotus bandits easily, and escaped from the fierce and vicious gangsters, which can be called a generation of ghost talents. ”

"My lord, is there such a thing?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "How can there be any such thing as a ghost." Tang Sai'er rebelled, but he wanted to exchange me for his husband, so he survived. The bandits are vicious, but there are also many people among the followers, who are not willing to rebel, I am an official, and if they want to live, they will protect me, so that I can be safe and sound. ”

Chen Xundao: "The officials forced the people to rebel, Li Xiang is too hateful. The people are so innocent that Shandong almost had the second White Lotus Sect. ”

Chen Yuan didn't notice that they were talking, and under a hidden tree in the stone shed, Tang Sai'er was carrying the child on his back and looking at him with a complicated expression.

Chen Yuan didn't stop, just sighed, and continued to patrol with Chen Xun.

Tang Sai'er turned his head to look at the child: "Chong'er, your father is a good official, but it's a pity that his mother is a robber——"

With a sigh, Tang Sai'er resolutely left.

On the way, Chen Yuan saw that many dealers were flooded and roads were destroyed.

He asked in a deep voice: "Lord Feng, when the rainy season comes, why don't you repair the river embankment early?" ”

As soon as Qin Cha came, the whole Shandong trembled, and Governor Feng's face turned blue with horror, and he said again and again: "The next official is guilty of death!" The next official is guilty of capital crimes! ”

Chen Yuan sighed and said: "Don't panic, I just ask, you have done a lot of things for the people, so there is no you in the punishment list, when Li Xiang is here, you have no money, this official knows your difficulties, it is not easy to be an official." But you have to remember that you were once a common man for ten years, and now that Li Xiang has fallen, the imperial court will immediately bring in grain and silver for repairing the river embankment, and you must make proper arrangements so that you must not starve to death and flood the fertile land. ”

"Yes, the subordinate will definitely do it."

After five days of inspection, Chen Yuan was ready to return to the capital on a business trip. He really wanted to go back to Nanjing, but he admitted that he was not a good husband and had many women. At this time, there was no holiday in the officialdom, and it was impossible to return to Nanjing without permission, otherwise those imperial history officials would grab him by the braid and stick to him, and he would be accused of leaving his post without permission.

Bidding farewell to King Zhao, King Zhao still needs to stay for a while to stabilize the people's hearts, and when he was leaving, Wang Zhu'er and Hou Ba found him, hoping to follow.

Chen Yuan was stunned and smiled bitterly: "I am enemies everywhere, and you also know that if you follow me, you may die at any time, and by my side, there will be no glory and wealth." ”

Hou Baweng said: "My lord, the villain has no ability, he has no wife and children, he just hopes to follow the adult and run errands for the adult." ”

Looking at his sincere eyes, Chen Yuan felt that there were not many people available in his family, and Hou Ba was more upright when he was in Shandong, which was suitable for running errands, so he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sir—no, thank you, sir." Hou Ba knelt down and bowed three times.

Wang Zhu'er was dumbfounded: "My lord, what about me?" ”

"What about you?" Chen Yuan thinks about it, Wang Zhu'er is a grass on the wall, but he does need a little power, although he doesn't blatantly give people a handle, but some people are still necessary. So he patted him on the shoulder, "Well, you, continue to stay in Shandong." ”

"Huh?" Wang Zhu'er was stunned, very disappointed, he thought that he had saved Chen Yuan, and he would come by himself.

"However, you can stay in Shandong, collect some information, check some important things and pass them on to me, and in the future, I will promise you a future."

Wang Zhu'er was overjoyed: "Yes, the little one must do his best, and it is all sent by the adults." ”

Seeing Wang Zhu'er away, Chen Yuan saw a person with a headache standing ten meters in front of him.

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, almost forgot about her, and promised that it would only take ten days for others, and then let her dispose of it. It's been too busy these days, and half a month has passed, because I didn't see her, I thought she wouldn't pursue it anymore and saw her appear. I don't know how to face it, I can't go back on my word and deny it, Chen Yuan can't do it, and he can't die now.

What to do? Chen Yuan motioned for Chen Xun Geng Cai to go to him alone if they went first.
