"My lord, what do you want to do with all this news?" Leng Ping poured another bowl of tea and asked quietly.

"I've always felt that staying in Taizhou alone can't be a big deal. You must unite the forces of one side in order to find a way out for yourself. I mean, of course, to pay it back. Chen said.

"And then?"

"Where to say 'then', first have a good relationship with his Lu family, and the future will come naturally, don't worry." Comrade Chen took a sip of tea.

"I think ......" Leng Ping intended to act as his think tank in order to win his appreciation, so he dared to suggest: "Forgive the people to say more." ”

"Say." Comrade Chen shook the bowl and shook a few tea leaves floating on top of the tea.

"The folk girl thinks that the marriage between you and the Lu family can be over. The Lu family has no blood relationship with you, and because there is no daughter under your knees, you naturally can't get married to the point where you can't get married. Why don't you borrow and repay this favor, let him take you and the people in the province to get to know each other privately, and move closer to the province in order to be developed? ”

When Comrade Chen heard her words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be surprised that this poor woman who couldn't read and write could have such an opinion, which was simply unexpected.

He remained silent for a long time, and Fang responded with a smile: "Your opinion is very clever. ”

"Thank you, Lord for complimenting." Although Leng Ping was very calm in front of him, he was already excited and excited. She held the teapot, her eyes gradually drifted, and she whispered: "If this momentum continues, I'm afraid we will be able to make a long-term plan!" ’

"Cold screen."

Zhuo Lengping was called back by him, and hurriedly smiled: "Please give orders!" ”

"I'll go to Jiangdu alone to pay off the gambling debts of the Lu family, it's too imprudent, so you should accompany me and serve by the side." Fellow Chen drank all the tea, lifted his sleeves, and got up.

Only Leng Ping was left standing in place, slowly shedding a few tears, and muttered to himself, "Lord Xie Chen...... Lord Xie Chen......"

From here, she had a crush on this cold man. The firmness and steadiness shown by this magistrate are not possessed by ordinary people, he never seems to be restless, and his temperament is as gentle as his face...... The more she thought about it, the more she became fascinated. Of course, she didn't forget what Chen Tongbei said when he was drunk, but felt that there was no real hard-hearted person in the world, and she had the confidence to impress him with his true feelings, and she was confident to make him abandon the shallow view that it was just the so-called 'use value'.

But on the other side, Comrade Chen didn't have much time to think about this, he was changing his clothes, facing the direction of the yamen, his mind was full of self-weighing pros and cons at the moment, so he was too lazy to take care of his soul. He quickly put on the turquoise magistrate's robe, put on his official hat, and stood in front of the mirror, without procrastination at all, and hurried outside the house to cover the door.

"Mei Xiancheng, do you know this female prisoner?"

A figure in plain clothes and white pants wiped his nose in front of Mei Xiancheng, then reached out and grabbed it in his arms, copied out a scroll of images, and handed it to him.

Mei Xiancheng put his feet on the ebony table, crossed his toes, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at the image, which was about a woman, with beautiful eyes and nose.

"Female prisoner......" Mei Xiancheng muttered, "I haven't seen it." ”

Before the man could speak, Meixian Cheng blew the flying insects crawling on the fingernails and complained: "Your Lu family sent people to work here and there, and it turned out to be for such a small thing...... In other words, Lu Gongzi is not too old to be old, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing on weekdays, he is pampered, and no one dares to say a word 'no' when he finds a lady, but in the end, he is not a poor concubine, he is looking for a female prisoner, there is nothing serious, and he spends me for such hospitality! ”

"You misunderstood what we meant," the man said with a smile, "Lu Gongzi heard that this criminal has arrived in Taizhou, and he sent me purely to arrest this person and bring him to justice, and it has nothing to do with family affairs." ”

"Oh......" Mei Xiancheng was suddenly silent, and his face turned a little red.

"To be honest, I haven't seen this female prisoner, you ...... elsewhere"

"No, no, no," the man hurriedly waved his hand, "This girl's name is Zhuo Lengping, I see that she is doing chores in the Chen Fellow Mansion, but she is by your side!" ”

Meixian Cheng's eyes slipped: "Is there really such a thing?" As he spoke, he took his leg down, "I'll call Chen Zhixian here!" ”

"Don't tell him," the man stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "I'm afraid he's not going to let him go." ”

"How?"

"The young master of our family said that since Chen Tongpao took her in, it means that he has other plans, and he must not obediently hand over the prisoner, but instead startles the snake and spoils the big thing; But you can outsmart ......"

"Lord County, Chen Zhixian is here." The official outside reported.

When Mei Xiancheng heard this, he secretly said to the man: "You go and hide first." ”

The man hurriedly agreed, opened the door of the study, and went out from the side of the county office.

Meixian Cheng coughed a few times and shouted, "Please know the county master to come in!" ”

After a while, Chen Tongpao was led by several officials, walked to the door of the study, and when he saw Mei Xiancheng, he said jokingly: "You are also so magnificent, I am the magistrate of this place, and when I come to my own yamen, I have to inform you before I can enter, Master Mei." ”

Meixian Chengzheng had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard Chen Tongpao speak like this, his hand trembled, and the pen holder was hit to the ground by him.

Suddenly, his gaze exuded abnormal fear, staring closely at Chen Zhixian's face.

Chen Tongpao was only stunned for a while, then smiled, bent down as if nothing happened, picked up the pen holder, and gently put it back on the table.

"I'm just joking with the county, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously...... Scares you, right? ”

Mei Xiancheng licked his lips, his face was like earth, and he hesitated: "No...... Nothing ......."

"County Cheng," Comrade Chen deliberately helped him divert the conversation, "You know that I don't talk to the people in your yamen on weekdays, it's troublesome; However, there are indeed important things to arrange today, and I ask you to start doing it. ”

"What's the matter?" Mei Xiancheng's nerves were still tense.

"I'm going to Jiangdu tomorrow, at least three or four days, at most more than ten days, during which someone will inevitably need to deal with Taizhou's official affairs, and it will all be handled by your county."

After the thrilling toss just now, Mei Xiancheng suddenly dropped this good news, and his heart was like boiling water, and he couldn't help but boil. He didn't even suspect it, so he grinned and smirked: "Master Chen just go, it's on me here!" ”

Seeing that he had promised so neatly, Comrade Chen took out a snow-white dagger and stuffed it into his hand: "If anyone disobeys you, just use this dagger to give orders." ”

"Understood!" The county man was full of joy, holding the dagger, kneeling down and kowtowing three times.
