Meng Gang's death brought a great shock to Du Wenlin.

Whether it is skill or intelligence, Meng Gang is a leader, not to mention that his character is also excellent.

But such a person said that it was gone, which made Du Wenlin understand the true meaning of life and death and the shortness of life for the first time.

The dead are gone, and the living are like that.

There is still a long way to go, and there is still a lot of unfinished business.

Du Wenlin cheered up and was determined to carry the banner alone, and he must make his opponent pay a heavy price in order to comfort the souls of the deceased in the sky.

In the battle of Renfu Crypt, not only did he lose Meng Gang, but the officials of the government also lost ten people, which made Ouyang Prefect angry.

He immediately ordered to arrest Jin Changshun and interrogate him severely.

was stopped by Du Wenlin:

"Your Excellency, we do not have any evidence of his crime for the time being, and the information we know is obtained from the mouths of the three slain, and the words of the three dead men cannot be used as testimony. What can he do if he doesn't admit it when the time comes? The point is that he has many henchmen, and once there is a stir, the trees fall and scatter, and they all flee in all directions, it will be difficult to arrest him again. ”

"A group of small people, but they want to disturb the peace and prosperity of my Ming Dynasty. If you don't get rid of it early, it may be a big disaster! Ouyang Governor said resentfully.

"Although Jin Changshun has woven a huge net in Jiangnan, he is only a chess piece on the entire chessboard, and the black hand behind it is our ultimate goal."

"What's next for Master Du?"

"Let's rest for a few days and wait for instructions from above."

Wang Ling found Du Wenlin and said with a smile:

"Du Da Zhuangyuan, can the slave family ask you for one thing?"

"Miss, please speak!"

"Can you accompany the slave family to Maoshan for a trip?"

Maoshan is in the west of Changzhou, in Jurong County, not less than 100 miles away from Changzhou.

Since coming to Jiangnan to handle the case, although the investigation of the case has made progress, it is still far from the conclusion of the case, and Meng Gang died in battle, how can he be in the mood to play in the mountains and rivers?

However, this brutal Miss Wang couldn't be offended, and weighed it for a while:

"I'm sorry, it's my responsibility to be lowly, and it's hard to accompany the young lady! Why don't you send two of my men to go forward with the young lady, what do you think? ”

"You have a mission today?" Miss Wang asked directly.

Du Wenlin muttered for a long time:

"Not today."

He's not a good liar.

"That's it! I want you to accompany me, what's the matter, I feel uncomfortable looking at Miss Ben? ”

Just now it was a "slave family", but in a blink of an eye, it became "Miss Ben", which is really difficult to adapt.

Du Wenlin knew that he couldn't afford to offend her, but he was not only strong in martial arts, but also could bring great help to his work. At the same time, her godfather, Wang Gonggong, is a master who cannot be offended, and this girl is a treasure in his eyes.

Thinking of this, he scratched his head with a wry smile:

"Okay, I'll go."

Wang Ling snorted lightly:

"Look at the one who wronged you, I really don't want to go, can Miss Ben still tie you up?"

"Okay, how about we go?"

Wang Ling's face turned from gloomy to sunny.

Not far from Xiyingmen, you will enter the territory of Jintan County, and enjoy the scenery in the fields while walking side by side.

Patches of rape flowers are like landscape paintings, and like pieces of yellow silk cloth spread into the distance.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Du Wenlin couldn't help but say:

"The rape stamen is busy picking bees,

10,000 acres of spring fields are fragrant.

The dog barks in the village of Chaimen,

The warbler cries and the butterflies dance brightly. ”

Seeing a scholar driving a horse, he sang a poem loudly, which caused passers-by to laugh.

However, there are many crazy scholars these years, and everyone is not surprised and does not care.

Everyone cares more about the red-shirted girl next to her, born with red lips and white teeth, handsome face, raised eyebrows, heroic and exposed, a sassy and heroic woman.

When the poem was sung, everyone looked back, and Du Wenlin thought everyone was looking at him.

After the poem, passers-by still looked back frequently, and only then did they understand that it was the girl next to them who attracted everyone's attention.

smiled, and said in his heart: Don't look too much, be careful that this aunt is unhappy and blinds your eyes.

Wang Ling saw Du Wenlin smiling, and also asked with a smile:

"What good thing did you think of, seeing how happy you are?"

"At first, I saw everyone looking back frequently, thinking that they were admiring my beautiful voice. Later, they realized that they had admired your beauty. Speaking of this, he deliberately shook his head and sighed:

"Alas, these days, the talent is not as good as Shaohua, the world is unpredictable, and the people's hearts are not ancient!"

Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha, the poetry you recited is good, but it's a pity that it's not your original work. And your voice is more than childish, not rich enough. How can the people look back on you? ”

Wang Ling was originally a joke, but it made Du Wenlin's face hot, and he stopped speaking for a while, and galloped on his horse.

A lake appeared in front of it, and the water was as clear as a wash.

When the two of them rode to the lake, they saw a small canopy parked not far away, with a bow of the boat tending to a fishing net.

Then he dismounted:

"Sir, what is the name of this lake?"

The captain was in his forties, with a gray complexion, wearing a gray cloth shirt, and when he saw someone asking, he was busy smiling:

"Back to Gongzi's words, the name of this lake is 'Changdang Lake'. Where are you going? ”

"We wanted to go to Maoshan, but I don't know why we got to the lake?"

"If you want to get to Maoshan, there are two ways to go, or go north for half a day's journey and bypass this lake. Or take a boat, half an hour is enough to reach the other side. However, most tourists choose to take the boat. ”

Wang Ling wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead:

"Why don't we take a boat, one is to rest, and the other is to take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the lake, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Du Wenlin looked far away and realized that if he wanted to get around the lake, it would really take a long time, so he agreed to get on the boat.

The two horses occupied the two bows of the boat, and the two had to squeeze in front of the Epong, and lean close together.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's body in his nose, and feeling the warmth from the other party, Du Wenlin was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly pushed his body back.

Wang Ling looked unhappy:

"What's wrong, I'm afraid I'll eat you?"

"Miss misunderstood, I felt that the weather was hot and sweat soaked my clothes, so I wanted the wind to blow." Du Wenlin explained embarrassedly.

In fact, today's weather is not very hot, and the lake breeze is blowing, so I feel much cooler when I get on the boat.

"Humph!" Du Wenlin's explanation obviously did not satisfy Wang Ling.

Du Wenlin smiled helplessly, looking at the lakes and mountains in the distance.

The boat rowed silently, and occasionally the cough of the captain could be heard.

The breeze blows, and the waves are not alarmed. Occasionally, a fish jumps up and ripples.

Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful woman, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Du Wenlin sighed in his heart that there are indeed times of happiness in life, although sometimes happiness does not last long.

At this moment, the captain suddenly picked up an axe and threw it at a movable wooden plank at the bottom of the cabin, and a hole half a foot square appeared in the bottom of the boat, and the lake water rushed up in an instant.

As the water poured upward, the captain had disappeared into the lake.

Du Wenlin hurriedly took off all his shirts and threw them to Wang Ling:

"Plug the hole!"

Then, plunge into the lake.

Wang Ling has lived in the capital since he was a child, and he has never even gone down to the water a foot deep, and now he is a little flustered when he sees the lake water gushing up like a spring at the bottom of the cabin.

Finally, he was bold and careful, and immediately blocked Du Wenlin's shirt at the entrance of the cave, and the momentum of the lake water gushing was stopped, but there were too few clothes, and there was still water coming out.

Gritting his teeth, he took off his red shirt and blocked it in the hole.

The water finally stopped, but the boat was already half-filled and crumbling.

Her upper body was only wet and dirty, and the wind blew, and she suddenly felt a chill.

It's not just that she's cold, but the key is that after Du Wenlin plunged into the lake, she never showed her head again, which made her heart even colder.

After a long time, the lake water was churning, and Du Wenlin showed his head and stepped on the water to the side of the boat.

He dragged a man who had passed out in his hand, the captain, of course.

Wang Ling was so excited that her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she cried with joy.

Although the separation was only for a moment, in her opinion, it seemed that a long time had passed, and it was more like experiencing a life-and-death parting.

"Haha, he also underestimated me too much! I grew up on the banks of the Grand Canal, and I spent a lot of time in the river when I was a child. He said with a smile as he held the boat gang in one hand.

Wang Ling grabbed his arm and jokingly said:

"When did you, a southerner, learn the northern dialect?" The word 'small' seems to be a local dialect in our capital. ”

"I just learned it recently." Du Wenlin smiled embarrassedly.

"Why are you still pulling a dead man? Hurriedly threw it on board. ”

"He's not supposed to be dead. If I hadn't been afraid that he would have spoiled the bottom of the boat, I wouldn't have gone into the water to chase him. ”

As he spoke, he asked Wang Ling to grab the man's collar and reach out to pinch it on his face and body for a long time, but the man did not react again.

"I didn't hit him very hard, but he just walked away. It seems that he is destined to leave today, and he will not live tomorrow. Du Wenlin shook his head, as if he was very reluctant to go.

"Okay, the Dragon King may have recruited him to be the general in front of the palace, so let him go on the road with peace of mind." Wang Ling said with a smile.

Du Wenlin had no choice but to let go, and the man slowly sank to the bottom of the lake. Gradually, only a faint gray drift in the lake was seen.

The boat ripples in the middle of the lake, and the turquoise water ripples around the boat.

Du Wenlin was shirtless and Wang Ling, who was wearing obscene clothes, was so busy scooping water out of the cabin, sweating profusely, and happy.

Finally the water in the bilge was almost cleaned, and the two sat in the boat, facing each other and looking at each other's embarrassment.

Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"The champion of the new department, in this situation, should I write a poem?"

Du Wenlin sat up straight and cleared his throat:

"A pod of sand comes and goes,

A wave extinguishes and a rebirth.

Stir up each other and wash each other without a break,

Will teach the mountains and seas to be peaceful for a while. ”

Wang Ling smacked his lips and said:

This poem doesn't seem appropriate here. Miss Ben was also reluctant to make it difficult, and attached a song of harmony. ”

Du Wenlin clapped his hands:

"Okay, I haven't seen Miss Yongshi yet."

"The east wind has not let go of the mud dry,

The red medicine flowers bloom and are not cold.

When the weather is clear, the flowers are old,

It's better to watch in the rain hand in hand. ”

After Wang Ling finished singing, he looked at Du Wenlin stupidly, and his eyes were full of girlish feelings.

Du Wenlin had already read too much emotion from the other party's eyes, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned his eyes to the blue waves in the distance, and muttered in a low voice:

"When the weather is sunny and the flowers are old, it is better to look in the rain hand in hand. There will always be sunny days, what if you see it? ”

Wang Ling reached out and gently held Du Wenlin's hand, staring at his eyes, as if he wanted to express his emotions but was unable to speak.
