Chapter 18: From Conspiracy to Uninvited Guest
Yuanfu is located in the best part of the county, covering an extremely wide area.
There are more than 50 people in the rivers and lakes placed by Yuan Yutang in the mansion alone, and the reason is that I heard that he was assassinated at home once and almost died, and since then he has placed a large number of people in the mansion to protect his own safety.
In the lobby of the Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Yutang sat on the top seat with a golden knife, and there was a mural carved on the back of the thin clouds.
"Master Yuan, what important things do you have to summon us over today?"
Li Chong said with great interest: "It's been a few days to suffocate the brothers. β
"Yes, Master Yuan, especially some time ago, that bullshit county lieutenant surnamed Chen robbed us of our money, causing the brothers to lose several pieces of meat on the dinner table these days."
"Master Yuan, everyone wants to do a big deal now."
The people sitting below are in high spirits.
"Lao Tzu knows that you are uncomfortable during this time, Lao Tzu is the same as you,"
There was a crisp snap, and a delicate teacup shattered in Yuan Yutang's palm, "Now Lao Tzu can tell you that the dog surnamed Chen is going to be finished soon." β
"Really?"
"That's right, Lao Tzu has already discussed with Zhou Boqian, this madman who likes to meddle in things must not stay in our Qingxi,"
There was a deep smugness in the gloomy voice, "Li Chong, tomorrow Chen Zishi will take someone to Fuchunjiang to survey the terrain, there are not many people around him, you take a few people to ambush in Qingshangou, Long Er will also bring people over, from now on, don't let me see Chen Zishi again." β
"Yuan Ye rest assured,"
Li Chong said with a smile: "I will let him have no bones left from now on." β
"Actually, if it weren't for Chen Zishi, I wouldn't have integrated Zhou Zhao's family so quickly, and Lao Tzu would have to thank him,"
Picking up a piece of garlic from the table and dipping it in some chili peppers and putting it in his mouth, Yuan Yutang said with pity: "After killing this kid, give him three sticks of incense." β
β¦β¦
Chen Feng knew that his behavior of persecuting several families some time ago eventually led this group of people to lean towards Yuan Yutang, but he didn't know that Yuan Yutang had already developed murderous intentions towards him.
A lot of flowers and plants are planted in the house of the county government, and I heard that Li Zhifeng's wife loves flowers very much.
It's a pity that there is a serious shortage of water in Qingxi now, and many flowers and plants in the courtyard have withered or even died.
"It turns out that County Lieutenant Chen has arrived, please come in."
The woman who spoke was smiling and elegant, and her cheeks were full of collagen.
Good guy, it turns out that their county lord is Jinwu Zangjiao, this lady looks estimated to be about twenty, and Li Zhifeng is about forty.
Naturally, Madame couldn't really take Chen Feng in, so she turned around and left to the back house.
"Chen Zishi, you were the one who proposed to use water diversion to raise money and food,"
As soon as the front foot stepped into the living room, Li Zhifeng had already begun to say unhappily to Chen Feng: "Now that the rain is not falling, the water is getting more and more scarce, you gave them hope before, and now they are all coming to the gate of the county government to make trouble, you can say what to do." β
Chen Feng did not discuss the matter of taking money from several major businessmen at the beginning, even if more than half a month has passed, Li Zhifeng is still angry with Chen Feng.
When he entered the yamen, Chen Feng had already seen those people standing at the yamen.
You don't have to guess who did it, and you hold up banners just like the victims of the disaster.
"Since the lord summoned the lower officials over, the adults must have already taken countermeasures, and the lower officials listened to the orders of the adults," Chen Feng looked very calm.
These words sounded very obedient, and Li Zhifeng's face looked much better, "The money and grain brought up have already been used to help the victims, and now we will definitely not be able to take out money and food to open up the two rivers, and it will take time for the imperial court to provide disaster relief materials,"
"So what this county means is that tomorrow you take a few people to Fuchunshui to make a show, just say that you are going to survey the terrain, anyway, the drawings from previous years are still there, and it will not be a problem to deal with them for a few months."
"The subordinate obeys,"
In fact, this is also Chen Feng's own thoughts, in the past month, due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he has stayed in this county for too long.
It's just right to go out for a walk, and since you have proposed to open up the river, then you must do it.
Now his feet are much better, and even riding horses is not much of a problem.
After receiving the order, Chen Feng was ready to deal with the remaining documents and went back.
But at this time.
"Lord County Lieutenant, Miss Shen said that I have something important to see you."
Shen Ruxuan has always been by Chen Feng's side, and now almost everyone in the county government knows him.
Chen Feng felt very surprised, Shen Ruxuan was very knowledgeable and smart, unless there was something urgent, it was impossible for him to come to the county office.
So Chen Feng decisively put down the matter in his hand, which is actually the issuance of cultural relics, which is not very important.
As soon as he came out of the yamen, he saw Shen Ruxuan standing in the sun and hesitating nervously.
"What's wrong? It's not like you to be so anxious," Chen Feng stepped forward and pulled her to the nearby alley.
Shen Ruxuan looked at Chen Feng and said, "There is a person surnamed Tian from Guangyang. β
The name of Guangyang instantly made Chen Feng mention the spirit of twelve, and he was slightly shocked: "It's so fast? β
From beginning to end, Chen Feng never wrote a letter to Lai Wanchun, that is to say, in addition to the entourage who followed him to Qingxi, there were actually people who came to Wanchun to install in this Qingxi.
You must know that Guangyang is in Jiannan, and Qingxi is in Jianbei.
If he hadn't known for the first time that the people who followed Chen Feng were dead, how could he have come so soon.
"Is this person's name Tian Bozhong?"
Shen Ruxuan shook his head and said: "He only said that his surname is Tian, and he wants me to inform you to go back quickly, holding a feather fan in his hand, pretending to be very smart." β
"I know who it is, go meet him."
Shen Ruxuan saw Chen Feng's clenched fists, and was even more sure that there was a big contradiction between Chen Feng and Wanchun, and said with relief: "Big brother, anyway, the old men in the county government only know that you are a proud protΓ©gΓ© who came to the prefect's mansion,"
"The arrival of this Tian Gongzi, if the old men of the county government know about it, they will only be more jealous of you."
The so-called words woke up the person in the dream, Chen Feng's hazy eyes suddenly found the dawn, "You are right, before my entourage was dead, it was difficult to use the power of Wanchun, and now Tian Bozhong is here,"
"Although the situation at home is much more dangerous, in the county office, my situation will be much better."
"Big brother, who is this surnamed Tian?"
Chen Feng did not hide it, "This person is one of the staff members who came to Wanchun, he was born in Xiucai, boasted of his unparalleled wisdom, and also took Wuhou as his idol." β
"No wonder he wants to take a feather fan."
Chen Feng said disdainfully: "It's just pretending, this guy has no other ability than to say big things, but with this guy in the way, he can't say anything at home in the future." β
Shen Ruxuan followed behind Chen Feng, looked at his back, and after struggling for a while, he still asked the question that he had endured for a long time, "Big brother, between you and the prefect..."
"Actually, it's not that I don't tell you,"
Chen Feng turned to look at her and said, "But if you say it, it is very likely to endanger your life and involve you in an unwarranted disaster." β
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruxuan still said firmly: "I still want to know, I want to help you." β
