When the county lieutenant heard this, it was like choking in his throat, and he was not uncomfortable up and down.

At this time, Shen Chen got up and said; "The question has been asked, and you can handle the rest yourself."

As the words fell, he turned around and walked towards the side hall.

The county lieutenant blurted out: "Don't you care? That's a Southern Barbarian! ”

Shen Chen's footsteps paused.

After a while, he said lightly: "Shen Moujie grass people, he can't take care of this kind of thing. ”

The county lieutenant and the master watched Shen Chen go farther and farther, and the two of them were in a complicated and indescribable mood.

The master said cautiously: "This matter should be reported quickly, right?" ”

The county lieutenant sat down and said angrily: "Nonsense! ”

This case is not big, but it is not small, but it has something to do with the Southern Barbarians, and it must be reported. How can he, a small county lieutenant, manage such a big thing?

It's just that......

The county lieutenant said abruptly: "It has only been less than six years since the Great Qin and the Southern Barbarians have been stable, and now there are Southern Barbarians who have entered my Qin realm without permission, will this matter stir up disputes?" ”

He didn't want to enjoy the blessing for long, and he had to flee from place to place like a few years ago, and he was frightened.

The master silently waited for the county lieutenant to finish complaining, and then gave a fatal blow: "My lord, the question now is not what about Nanban and Daqin, but whether we should ...... Shen when we report Shen Chen wrote it? ”

The county lieutenant's expression froze.

The county lieutenant swallowed: "It should be written...... Write it......"

The two of them have big eyes to small eyes.

Under the glare of the county lieutenant, the master had no choice but to speak: "The little one thinks that it is better not to write it, and follow the prefect's meaning." ”

The county lieutenant took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay!" You quickly send someone to inform Haixian of the clues you get. ”

The annoyance was that he was tried here, and he had to hurry up, so as not to be robbed of the greatest credit by the guy in Haixian!

……

Meanwhile.

Lin Xi was halfway through eating when he saw Shen Chen coming.

She hurriedly beckoned to him, "Come on, you haven't eaten yet." The county lieutenant is so nice, the amount of food prepared is enough, let's eat together. ”

Shen Chen approached without saying a word.

Lin Xi handed him the chopsticks and said in a chattering voice: "When I ate just now, I missed the children, and they didn't know whether they ate or not." However, with Aunt Zhang and the village chief here, I am still very relieved, they will definitely take Dabao and them to their house to eat. ”

"But I'm still worried about the children, let's go back quickly after we finish eating, it's okay late at night, I'm afraid that the children won't sleep if they can't wait."

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi intently.

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he realized that something was not quite right with him, and said, "What's wrong?" Is it the news you asked, not what the county lieutenant wanted, and the county lieutenant embarrassed you? ”

Shen Chen shook his head: "No." ”

"What's going on?" Lin Xi asked with concern.

Shen Chen closed his eyes, his expression softened, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the trial is too fast and easy, I have some doubts, Xu Dongwen didn't tell the truth." "Or, there's something left unsaid.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "This." Hey, the quick trial shows that you are amazing, don't think too much. If you're not at ease, let's go back to the prison, I'll wait for you. After all, it's a matter of human life, and it's normal to ask for clarity. ”

"No need."

Shen Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Xi's head, and said softly, "I'm sure the information I got is not wrong. Let's eat, we'll go back after eating. ”

Lin Xi nodded and gave Shen Chen a dish with chopsticks, "You are also about to eat, you have been busy all day." ”

Shen Chen hummed in a low voice, picking up the vegetables, but his mind unconsciously recalled the scene when he was in the prison.

When he went, Xu Dongwen, like Zhuang Hongmei, was seriously injured and was apparently tortured by people from Linxian County.

But in the end, it was different, Xu Dongwen was still very sober, and scolded him for guarding him, but when he saw him, he stopped abruptly.

He asked Xu Dongwen as usual, and Xu Dongwen did not quibble or waste time, and soon said it himself.

That's right, it was Xu Dongwen who said it himself, not him.

Shen Chen also noticed that Xu Dongwen looked at him with fear and was afraid of him.

Many people in Linxian Village are afraid of him. Xu Dongwen and Zhuang Hongmei are in the same group, knowing that he is Zhuang Hongmei's niece and son-in-law, and they have heard of him, so they are afraid of him, which makes sense.

But why did Xu Dongwen admit to confessing so quickly?

Shen Chen frowned.

……

After Lin Xi and Shen Chen had eaten, they left the yamen.

The county lieutenant rushed to see them off and politely invited them to stay overnight, but Lin Xi refused.

Just kidding, the children are still at home, how can she rest assured?

In the corner of the alley not far from the yamen, a tall young man with a hat walked out.

It was the one who bumped into Lin Xi at the bazaar last time.

He looked at Lin Xi and Shen Chen driving the carriage away, his eyes were deep and the meaning was unknown.

After a while, a young man appeared behind him.

The young man wore a scimitar at his waist, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "Master, the Qin people have confessed." ”

The man hummed in a low voice.

The young man said, "Do your subordinates want to dispose of him?" ”

"Not necessarily."

The young man raised his head, looked at the man in surprise, and said, "But he will confess to us, which is very detrimental to the master's plan." ”

The man sneered, "It's just a Qin person, I don't know much, and the confession can't be a threat." Not to mention ......"

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, "He confessed, and he was signaled by Gu a long time ago." ”

The young man looked stunned.

The man didn't seem to realize what he was saying at all, he just looked at the direction in which Lin Xi and Shen Chen were leaving, and his deep eyes were full of excitement: "The Qin people are really hateful, you are still alive, but they hid you." It's okay, I'll help you get back to your place. ”

……

Lin Xi and Shen Chen returned to Chenyang Village in the second half of the night.

The four of Dabao were all at home, accompanied by Aunt Zhang, and they were really waiting for them to come back and refused to sleep.

Lin Xi hurriedly thanked Aunt Zhang, asked Shen Chen to send Aunt Zhang back safely, and waited for tomorrow to come to the door to thank her. She washed the sleepy-eyed children and put them to sleep.

Then Lin Xi waited for Shen Chen to come back before going to wash up and sleep.

The next day, Lin Xi slept directly until three poles above the sun, and the sun was about to dry his buttocks.

She quickly got up and went out.

Shen Chen, who was busy in the middle of the night, got up earlier than her, and made breakfast, the children all ate, and her part was stuffy in the pot.

When Dabao saw Lin Xi, he went to the stove room to bring her a still hot breakfast.

Erbao said: "Daddy took things to the village chief's house and said that he wanted to thank them. ”

Lin Xixin said, it should be.

She washed up briefly and went over for breakfast.

The children feed the chickens and play with the chicks.

Not long after, Shen Chen came back, went directly to Lin Xi and sat down, and told her what she had sent to the village chief's house.

Lin Xi said: "You can decide these things, you don't need to tell me." Are we going to Yamen today? ”

Shen Chen shook his head, "No." ”

After Lin Xi finished eating, he said, "Then let's go to worship your father and mother today." ”
