Chapter 38: Liu XVII
If you instill too much at once, it's easy to burst.
Zheng Chaoming stopped at the right time and changed the topic: "I went to see the Gantang County Order. ”
Lu Lingfeng also had a headache at this time, and this information made him difficult to accept.
At this time, after listening to Zheng Chaoming's words, he let go of what he was thinking and asked, "How is the county order?" ”
Zheng Chaoming told him what he was fooling the county order, and after Lu Lingfeng heard it, he said helplessly: "I am now guilty of sin, and I am only afraid of revealing my stuffing." ”
Zheng Chaoming is very confident that he will not be exposed, and he still clearly understands what these officials care about.
shook his head slightly and said, "No, now he is only afraid of being frightened, and he only thinks about how to put the guilt on the head of the county lieutenant." ”
As he spoke, he noticed a person not far away, dressed in a green robe, looking around as he walked.
He turned to the man, Nunu, and said, "Look, the man who is looking for us is coming." ”
The man also found Zheng Chaoming, his face was happy, and he walked over.
When he came closer, he nodded at Zheng Chaoming first, and then looked at Lu Lingfeng, and saw Lu Lingfeng's temperament as a son of a family, and his heart completely settled down.
He said in a low voice: "Two, this is not the place to talk, I will wait for you at the front wine shop." ”
After speaking, he walked straight to the wine shop.
"This is? Is this the prefectural order? Lu Lingfeng wondered.
Zheng Chaoming nodded and said, "Yes, let's go, it seems that this Wang County Commander has discovered something, and we will investigate it." ”
Fortunately, the two of them have no tails behind them now, Zheng Chaoming's tail was scared crazy, and Lu Lingfeng threw him off as early as the morning, after all, he was born in Jin Wuwei.
After entering the private room, Wang Nailing got up and bowed: "I've seen General Zhonglang." ”
Lu Lingfeng nodded coolly and said, "The matter has been clarified?" ”
Wang Nailing looked embarrassed and said: "I got some news from Liu Shiba's mouth, the three brothers of the Liu family were arranged by Su Zhe to be in the abandoned post and intercept and kill the business travelers. ”
Hearing this, Lu Lingfeng glanced at Zheng Chaoming, as if to say that there is really you.
At this time, Wang Nailing said again: "It's just that Liu Shibai's confession alone is not enough to arrest the county lieutenant." ”
Indeed, officials have the privilege of going to prison, and they will definitely not go to prison because of a few words of identification from the grass people, otherwise they will be chaotic.
Hearing this, Zheng Chaoming understood why Su Wuming went deep into the tiger's den to go to Gantangyi after finding out the facts of the case, it turned out that he was catching thieves and dirty.
Now that there is a ready-made homework, Zheng Chaoming will naturally copy it, so he said: "At this time, it is simple, Lu Lingfeng and I will go to Gantang Post to stay for one night, and you will respond outside, but the catchers in Gantang County can't be used, so you borrow some government soldiers." ”
Wang Nailing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Wang will live up to his trust, and I will arrange it." ”
Then, the three of them discussed the details again, and then parted ways.
If it is getting late today, it would be too deliberate to go out of the city now, so Zheng Chaoming stayed at an inn for another night.
Day 2.
The two pretended to get up late, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they rushed out of the city.
At the city gates.
Several catchers stood inside the door, checking on passers-by.
When one of them saw Zheng Chaoming, he stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What's the matter?"
The man glanced at Zheng Chaoming's salute and said, "Check the contraband and open the package." ”
Zheng Chaoming was amused in his heart, did this guy confirm whether he had brought a famous painting, so he opened the package.
The parcel contained only some clothing, a little money, and the most prominent one was a scroll wrapped in silk.
The catcher's eyes lit up when he saw the scroll, and he smiled, "Okay, let's go." ”
Zheng Chaoming packed up the package, turned over and got on the horse, and ran out of the city with Lu Lingfeng.
"When did you have an extra painting in your package?"
Riding on the horse, Lu Lingfeng asked with some confusion.
Zheng Chaoming patted the package with a smile and said, "This is not a painting, this is the bait I specially got last night, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait." ”
The two of them traveled more than ten miles, and the sun was high.
Lu Lingfeng pointed to the post station in the wilderness in front of him and said, "That is the abandoned post Gantang Station." ”
"It's finally here, let's go in and have lunch." Zheng Chao said clearly, his feet slammed, and the horse ran happily towards the post station.
This post station is indeed abandoned, and the appearance is in disrepair.
Zheng Chaoming was about to step forward and knock on the door, but the door opened first.
Liu Qiqi, who got the news inside, walked out with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Two nobles, but you want to settle down for dinner?" ”
Although Lu Lingfeng inquired about Liu 18's triplets, he was still a little stunned when he saw Liu 17 again.
Zheng Chaoming said: "Yes, hurry up and prepare food for the two of me." ”
Liu Qiqi hurriedly agreed and introduced the two into the post house.
Seeing Zheng Chaoming holding a salute in his hand, revealing the corner of a scroll, he stretched out his hand and said, "Nobleman, I'll help you take the salute." ”
Zheng Chaoming hurriedly dodged, pretending to look disgusted, and said: "If you know what I have here, you can take it, this is a priceless painting, and it will break your accompaniment?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's my fault."
After apologizing, he continued to lead the way, and while walking, he secretly looked at Zheng Chaoming and the others, looked at Lu Lingfeng carefully, but felt a little familiar, so he smiled and said: "This nobleman, he looks a little familiar." ”
Lu Lingfeng said with a cold face: "You remember wrong. ”
Seeing Lu Lingfeng's cold appearance, Liu Qiqi's heart jumped, but he remembered who this was!
I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, and thought: "It's really heaven that you don't go, if you hadn't been stopped by Liu Shibai that day, you would have been dismantled, but now you are in the net." ”
"You two sit down first, and I'll go get ready to eat." After speaking, Liu Qiqi hurriedly walked out.
Lu Lingfeng was a little worried, and whispered, "I seem to be recognized." ”
Zheng Chaoming patted the scroll and said, "Don't worry, you are a ghost, and he won't run." ”
Lu Lingfeng thought for a moment, showed a smile, and said, "I seem to understand what you mean." ”
"I'll see my color later, I'm afraid I'll be drugged in this meal." Zheng Chaoming reminded again.
Lu Lingfeng nodded, he naturally knew about the ordinary sweat pills and other drugs on the rivers and lakes. However, he knew that Zheng Chaoming was kind, Zheng Chaoming learned a lot of pharmacology from Fei Jishi, and if it was a difficult tocitocia drug, he could also know a thing or two.
After a while, Liu Qiqi came over with food.
One by one on the table, a total of four dishes, and a pot of wine.
"I said you kid, you can cook fast enough." After such a while, so many dishes were served, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time.
Listening to Zheng Chaoming's words, Liu Qiqi frowned, and hurriedly explained: "The two of you don't know, I'm afraid that the passers-by will be in a hurry, so I will warm some dishes every day." ”
Zheng Chaoming waved his hand and said while pouring wine: "Okay, you can step down." ”
Liu Qiqi grabbed the wine jug and said, "I'll wait for the nobles." ”
As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Zheng Chaoming, and filled it up for Lu Lingfeng.
Then he stood aside, looking at Zheng Chaoming and the others expectantly.
