When he went out this time, of course, Su Nancheng brought Lian Sheng and Cheng Ming.

I didn't prepare much, and when the day came, I set off with the convoy of the Ministry of Industry.

The leader is Lord Zhou, and Su Nancheng ponders that if this year is not special, I am afraid that the waiter may not go.

Here are the people under the department in charge of water conservancy.

Starting from the capital, all the way south, the more you go, the hotter it gets.

After nine days' work, we arrived at the place.

When I arrived at Mao County, which is subordinate to Liangcheng, it was the place where I was stationed.

Because the local officials were not notified in advance, they did not come to pick them up.

But that's just a lack of notice.

Privately, local officials have already arranged it.

The largest inn in Mao County was chartered by them.

Su Nancheng's house had already been cleaned up, and he was tired from riding, so he sat and drank tea.

Lian Sheng and Cheng Ming were packing up their clothes and bedding.

"Cheng Ming, this place is just a river away from your home." Lian Sheng muttered.

"That's not my house." Cheng Ming said.

"Hehe, then you also grew up over there, look across the river. Don't look at the inn, look at something else. Lian Sheng said.

Cheng Ming didn't speak.

Su Nancheng said: "Cheng Ming." ”

"Hey, Childe." Cheng Ming walked over.

"Since you're here, you should go back. It is better to move your mother's grave back and bury it with your father. I'll give you the money. Sunan Cheng said.

Cheng Ming was stunned: "This ...... How good is this......"

"Your mother knows that you have been guilty for so many years, and she will agree. She remarried because she couldn't live with you. As a result, you almost killed someone. Su Nancheng shook his head: "What's more, the innkeeper is also a second marriage, and he also has an original match, and after a hundred years, your mother will be buried with the ceremony of a concubine." Why bother? ”

Cheng Ming pursed his lips, why didn't he know this?

It's just that he is already a person who has sold the death deed, that is, he has lost his ancestors.

How dare a person who has been a slave all his life think about this?

"Just go for it, it's not difficult. Take my seal and go back. If he doesn't follow you, go and sue the magistrate. Su Nancheng took out his seal letter: "It's just about crossing the river, don't delay the time, go and go back quickly." ”

Cheng Ming pounced and knelt down: "The little one thanks the master for his great kindness." ”

"Alright, let's go ahead and bring a few changes of clothes. and bring twenty taels of silver. Su Nancheng waved his hand.

"I really don't need that many ......"

"If you don't need it, just bring it back when the time comes. Buy two coffins for your father and mother, and bury them together. Su Nancheng waved his hand.

"Yes." Cheng Ming kowtowed again: "Thank you, little one." ”

Cheng Ming still insisted on packing up before leaving.

After he left, Lian Sheng said, "Childe is tired, right?" Break? It's going to be a little bit longer for dinner. ”

"After returning to Beijing, I will also send someone to find your father and mother." Su Nancheng walked over and lay down.

"The little parents are gone, I remember that they are probably not on the road. Can't find it. The little ones don't think much about it. Lian Sheng smiled: "Cheng Ming is smart, he can do a lot of things for you." The little stupid is just serving a good son. ”

Su Nancheng smiled: "Okay, your mind remembers." Take a break. ”

Lian Sheng sighed for a while, waited for Sunan Cheng to lie down, and sat down on the rocking chair at the door to rest.

He was also very tired.

Su Nancheng closed his eyes and thought, looking back at how much Cheng Ming spent, he would give Lian Sheng how much money.

The two people around them still have to be fair, and if they don't pay attention to small things, they are easy to overturn.

I ate at the inn that night.

On the first floor, there was a big table, and Su Nancheng looked at the roast suckling pig, stewed duck, roasted river fish, and the white carp that was rich and hard to find in the capital, as well as the famous wine drunk river tide in the south of the Yangtze River, a big table of more than 30 dishes.

Can you still count in your heart?

The local officials didn't come, but didn't they all fulfill their intentions?

How could the inn have such a big table?

Sunan Cheng just didn't know, the food was in front, and he would talk about it after eating.

After this meal, everyone drank a little smoky.

Lord Zhou instructed: "Set off early tomorrow morning, you all have a good rest and preparation." Tomorrow morning, let's gather at Mao to have a bite and set off. ”

And they all answered, and went back to sleep.

It's a little damp here, and Sunan Cheng feels a little sticky when he lies down.

I couldn't frown, so I lay down, but I didn't sleep well.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Sunan Cheng seemed to dream that he was in the house, and he didn't know if it was raining or what's wrong, so he felt a little noisy.

He frowned and said, "Be quiet." ”

After speaking, the man also woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I instantly remembered that I was in Mao County.

There was a clicking sound in my ears, like something gently touching the wood.

Originally, it was a small voice, but the night was too quiet.

Even when the sound of frogs is gone, it is particularly obvious.

Su Nancheng turned his head sideways and listened carefully, and heard the sound of the wooden door opening. Because it is humid here, even if the wooden door is newly opened, there will inevitably be no sound.

Su Nancheng sat up in confusion and heard footsteps.

"Liansheng!"

Lian Sheng was woken up and didn't know what was in the clouds, so he stood up with a sigh.

"What's wrong with Childe?"

"Get dressed." Su Nancheng said, and quickly pulled up the clothes on the chair next to him and put them on.

"Don't worry, little palm lamp."

"Don't take care of the lamp, get dressed. Somebody came in. "They also had a team of escorts, but only ten men from the infantry battalion.

So if something happens, I'm afraid it's too late to resist.

Lian Sheng was so frightened that he put on his clothes and came over to help Sunan Cheng put them on.

The black light is blind, so I finally put it on.

There was already a cacophony downstairs.

When the lights came on, there were screams.

With the sound, ten officers and soldiers living downstairs came out with weapons.

All over the upper floors are getting up.

Su Nancheng never lit the lamp, he stood at the door and listened.

There were obviously a lot of people downstairs, and there were dozens of people listening to the footsteps.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and I was afraid that someone had already seen blood.

Soon someone came to knock on the door, it was their own person.

After opening the door, Su Nancheng went straight to Zhou Shilang's side.

A group of people downstairs are dressed in red uniforms, but their faces are clasped with masks made of the skin of an unknown animal.

The leader had a peacock tail feather stuck in his bun: "Come on, kill this group of dog officials!" They all deserve to die! Kill them, and the Peacock Mother will know everyone's sincerity. ”

Sunan Cheng frowned, what is this?

Zhou Shilang was quite calm: "Don't panic, someone will come to answer." ”

I couldn't see it clearly in the dark, but I could vaguely see about thirty people.

The officers and soldiers downstairs are not opponents, and now they are hiding and lying down, and their life and death are unknown.

and a few of the servants who came with the Ministry of Engineering also fell to the ground.

The innkeeper and Xiao Er also fell in a pool of blood.

Without the officers and soldiers to stop them, the group of people rushed upstairs with a roar.
