Volume 1 Searching for a Thousand Years Chapter 74 Chance Encounter with Zheng Sleeve

Quanxian County is indeed a place with rich folk customs, because it is close to Yingdu City, so the prosperity of Shu County, Shen, Xi, Yong, these marginal counties are much higher.

Xiong Huai suddenly remembered that Zheng Zhanyin seemed to be in the area of Quan County, and he didn't know if he could see their mansion when he came out this time.

Qu Yuan found that Xiong Huai was absent-minded, so he asked: "Your Highness, what are you thinking, do you need Qu Yuan to share your worries?"

Hearing Qu Yuan's concerned greeting, Xiong Huai expressed the doubts in his heart, frowned slightly, and squinted and recalled: "In my impression, I seem to remember that Zheng Zhanyin also lives in this Quan County, but I don't know where I live exactly, I am thinking, since we have arrived in Quan County, it is better to investigate."

Qu Yuan is also reminiscing about Zheng Zhanyin, Qu Yuan is recalling, Xiong Huai continued: "So I think Miss Zheng Zhan should also be here"

Qu Yuan smiled: "Since His Royal Highness is worried about it, he simply came out to collect wind today, let's inquire in the afternoon."

Xiong Huai was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly finished his meal, just waiting for Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan was not very comfortable being waited, and sped up the meal...... However, when Qu Yuan checked out, he also asked the store if there was Zheng Zhanyin's mansion here.

The shopkeeper explained: "Zheng Zhan Yin's mansion is forty miles west of the city, this place is the east of the city, and it takes one or two hours to get there."

In the street market of Quanxian County, I met the team that had just finished getting married and resting, and still sang local folk songs. Xiong Huai, who is accustomed to the life of the nobles of the palace, feels another kind of fireworks in the world today, and the people here will worry about their livelihoods, and when they go deep into the people, they can be infected by the life of this street and alley.

Whether it is the busy city in the city or the manor with mountains and rivers outside the city, they all have the same dream-like look, the lingering fragrance of the dragon and snake as the poet's pen, and the laughter of the drinkers. The two walked through the bustling street market and on a remote country road

On both sides of the alley are shabby and quaint moss-covered courtyard walls adjacent to folk courtyards, some of which are covered with dense green creeper vines, which seem to sweep away the sultry heat of late summer in a narrow shadow, and have a little cool feeling.

Finally saw someone in the alley, the small side door of a family opened, a young woman came out, holding a pink child in her arms, looking at the two with scrutinizing eyes, Xiong Huai went out with a few eyes, was stared at by others like this, I wanted to smile, but the corners of my mouth were hard to open, embarrassed to lower my head and walk by.

Xiong Huai couldn't help but speed up his pace, Qu Yuan noticed Xiong Huai's abnormal behavior, and chased Xiong Huai all the way for a distance before slowing down.

Qu Yuan chased after the prince and saw that he slowed down, and he also stopped, so he asked: "What's wrong, Your Highness, why did you suddenly run so fast, I have been chasing you for a long time"

Xiong Huai was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "It's just that I was suddenly stared at by others, I'm not used to it, eh, Lingjun, where are we going next?" ”

Qu Yuan told Xiong Huai what he heard from the store. Xiong Huai was surprised.

"Then let's go quickly, go back quickly today, and we can rush back to Yingdu in the evening."

Qu Yuan responded: "Yes, we simply walked not far today, and we harvested a lot of folk songs on the way here, and today we will go to the west of the city to try our luck as His Highness wishes."

Xiong Huai didn't feel embarrassed, laughed heartily, then calmed down his emotions and said, "Let's go, what I saw today is really an eye-opener for me."

Qu Yuan: "Your Highness can feel that the lives of the people are good, and the county is close to Yingdu, and the jurisdiction is still very good, so the lives of the people here are not bad." ”

Xiong Huai also thought so, but remembered Qu Yuan's previous "How Difficult the People" was written, and suddenly asked Qu Yuan: "Lingjun, is the "border more chaotic" you wrote in your poem a few days ago in the border area? ”

Qu Yuan affirmed and said categorically: "That's right, I set out from Danyang a few days ago, and before that, I had been to Yongxian, as well as the people of Shen, Xi, Shangyu and other places, especially the places close to the border, as I said in my poem. And this Yingdu City and these county towns deep in the interior are not feeling the smoke of gunpowder between the countries, in fact, not necessarily, I have also seen that the squire bullies and bullies the common people, but it depends on whether the local county Yin has the ability to suppress them. ”

When he was talking, Qu Yuan Xionghuai happened to see such a scene in the fish and meat township, a girl was dragged by a group of people, led by a gorgeously dressed son, a group of people all listened to his instructions, the woman's cry attracted his grandfather, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and no one dared to stop the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Huai, who was full of justice, wanted to stop it.

Qu Yuan and Xiong Huai learned from the crowd of onlookers that a concubine named Zhao San, who was headed by the feudal monarch of Quan County, was a well-known local bully because he usually bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil.

Without waiting for Qu Yuan to stop Xiong Huai, he had already rushed into the crowd, worried that Xiong Huai would be injured, so Qu Yuan had to step forward to identify the two of them, and asked where the county Yin was.

A woman in the crowd went to find the county Yin, and the moment she turned her head, Qu Yuan recognized that this was the woman on Xiong Huai's painting, and Xiong Huai also recognized it at a glance.

Just as she turned around to leave, Xiong Huai hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Zheng Sleeve, it turns out that you are also here."

Zheng Sleeve nodded and smiled politely at the two strange men in front of him, and explained: "Let's talk again, I'll go to the county Yin first."

Xiong Huai handed the token to Zheng Sleeve, and if the county Yin ignored it, he would show this order, and he would come to meet him.

Zheng Sleeve took the token in Xiong Huai's hand and put it in his arms: "Thank you for your help"

After Zheng Sleeve left, Xiong Huai and Qu Yuan stabilized the conflicting crowd and stopped their actions, and no one was allowed to leave, just waiting for the arrival of the county Yin.

Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan very proudly: "How is it, Lingjun, did you see Miss Zheng Sleeve herself today, but it's not bad?" ”

Qu Yuan was so happy to see the prince, and he also told the truth: "This girl has a good heart and a sense of justice, let's wait for this to be dealt with, and then we will go to see Zheng Zhanyin."

After a while, the county Yin hurriedly came out of the crowd and came to Xiong Huai, and said tremblingly: "The bad minister didn't know that His Highness was coming, and he didn't entertain him, and he hoped to forgive his sins, but he didn't know what disturbed His Highness?" ”

Xiong Huai said angrily: "Look for yourself, what do you do with the appearance of bullies in your jurisdiction?"

The county Yin hurriedly explained: "The malservice must be dealt with impartially"

Zheng Sleeve also explained angrily: "I, this girl and her grandfather, we led the performance class to perform here, and this group of bullies rushed in to rob people, and slandered us for owing him money."

The bully Zhao San also defended that there was indeed something wrong with the money, and took out an IOU.

At this time, the county Yin was also embarrassed, so he asked Xiong Huai, how is this good?
