Chen Tingjing went to the governor's yamen to resign, Fu Lun greeted him, and the two walked hand in hand, courtesy into the second hall to speak. The official poured tea, and Chen Tingjing said: "Your Excellency, I am really sorry for the disturbance these days. ”

Fu Lun said respectfully: "Lord Qincha shoulders the emperor's mission and acts impartially, so why bother." Alas, if it weren't for your Lord Chen's sincere help, I'm afraid that Fu Lun will be planted this time! ”

Chen Tingjing was polite and said bluntly. After gossiping for a while, Chen Tingjing said: "Since the official business is over, I will no longer get in the way of you, and I will leave for Beijing tomorrow." ”

Fu Lun said, "Why is Lord Chincha in such a hurry? You might as well stay a few more days, and I will accompany you for a good walk in Shandong. ”

Chen Ting sighed: "Alas, there is no such blessing! There is poetry in the Du Gong Department, the right of the sea is this Tinggu, and there are many famous people in Jinan. The pavilion he said should be in Daming Lake, right? I can't watch it this time, so I have to leave regrets. ”

Fu Lun's face showed a slight embarrassment, and he said, "That pavilion is the place where Kong Shangda is holding your in-law Zhang Wang. Alas, since Lord Qincha is in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his life, it is not good for me to stay. ”

Fu Lun insisted on sending Cheng Yi two thousand taels of silver, which had long been a common practice, Chen Tingjing was slightly polite and ordered Dashun to accept it. But another official carried out two large boxes, and Chen Tingjing was surprised: "Your Excellency, why is this?" ”

Fu Lun laughed and said, "Lord Qincha is afraid that I will pay a bribe, right?" How dare I, Fulun, have such courage! If you hadn't made a hard trip to Shandong, I, Fulun, would have become a sinner sooner or later! As a token of gratitude, I gave him two stones. That's not an exaggeration, right? Open it and let it be seen. Gentleman, please. ”

The official carefully opened the box, and only the red silk could be seen. When the red satin cloth was uncovered, it was originally two strange stones. Fu Lun said: "This is the Taishan stone produced in Shandong, known as the world's first strange stone. ”

Chen Tingjing rubbed the strange stone and praised it: "It's really a peerless product!" Governor, this is too precious, isn't it? Ting Jingxiao can't stand it! ”

Fu Lun said, "Where did Lord Chincha go! Anyway, it's just two stones! ”

Chen Tingjing nodded and said, "Okay, the governor's good intentions, Tingjing has accepted it!" ”

Early the next morning, Chen Tingjing set off for Beijing. Fu Lun originally said that he was going to be sent out of the city, but Chen Tingjing repeatedly excused himself, and the two of them only said goodbye outside the gate. After resigning from Fulun, Chen Tingjing got into the carriage and went all the way out of the city. The crowd of spectators on the street was crowded, some said that the Qincha who came back was the master of Qingtian, some said that the officials protected him as usual, and some said that the big chest on the back of the mule was full of gold and silver treasures. Talking nonsense, Chen Tingjing didn't hear them all.

After walking for more than ten days, I returned to Texas. Da Shun smiled and said, "Master, this is the place where the people kneel to greet you when you come, right?" ”

Chen Tingjing also laughed and said, "The people's ears are really so pointed, it's time to come and see them off." ”

As he spoke, he heard a sudden uproar. I saw more than 100 young men rushing down the mountain, all armed with knives and sticks. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Jing, Ma Ming and others quickly drew their knives and held sticks to protect Chen Tingjing's carriage. Da Shun shouted in his mouth: "Good girl, this doesn't look like I'm here to see him off!" ”

Liu Jing shouted: "Who are you? ”

Someone replied: "We want to kill corrupt officials and do the right thing for heaven!" ”

Liu Jing said angrily: "Bold, it's Qincha sitting in the car!" ”

The man shouted, "It is the Chin Cha that we are going to kill." Brothers, come on! ”

Chen Tingjing actually got out of the carriage, and Dashun couldn't stop him. The man who had just spoken shouted, "Brothers, kill that corrupt official." ”

At this moment, a group of people came in the distance, hula and shouting. Da Shun panicked: "Master, what should I do?" Here comes another group, and now it's over. ”

Chen Tingjing shouted: "You all stop, listen to what this official says!" ”

Where will the people listen? Swarming. Da Shun was anxious and scared in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Master, look, Zhen'er!" ”

I saw Zhen'er Pegasus coming and shouting: "Li Scar, stop it, you are blind!" ”

It turned out that the man who shouted to kill the corrupt official was named Li Scar, and he was also from Yangjiazhuang, so he naturally recognized Zhen'er: "Ah, Miss Zhen'er! At this time, Zhen'er's father came with the family and the people of Yangjiazhuang.

Zhen'er's father knelt down and bowed: "Xiaomin Xie Qincha saved my Yang family!" ”

Chen Tingjing helped Zhen'er's father and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite! You've got a good daughter! ”

Zhen'er's father stood up, shook his head and said: "My daughter, I don't like women since I was a child, I prefer to use guns and sticks, and I don't have a daughter's appearance, which makes adults laugh." ”

Chen Tingjing said with a smile: "It's not necessarily bad, women have been around since ancient times." ”

Zhen'er jumped off the horse, glared at Li Scar, and said, "You are really blind, Lord Qincha Chen, but you are your savior!" ”

Li Scar shouted: "What life-saving benefactor? He saved your Yang family, but he didn't save us! He went to Jinan, the governor was still the governor, and he himself went back with two boxes of treasures! ”

Zhen'er's father looked at Li Scar and said, "Brother Li, you must not mess around in front of Lord Qincha!" Our folks, you have to listen to me. ”

Li Scar said: "Master Yang, you are always a good person, we are all respected, but this one in front of you is a bad official!" ”

Chen Tingjing smiled slightly: "So, the heroes are here to make money and kill people today?" ”

Li Scar said: "We will kill you, a corrupt official, and rob your ill-gotten gains!" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Good man, it's not too late for you to go and get the treasure first and then kill me." ”

Hearing Chen Tingjing say this, Li Scar was stunned. He didn't bother to think about it, and shouted, "Go, bring the box!" ”

Zhen'er drew a knife to block: "You dare!" ”

Li Scar said: "Miss Yang, fellow villagers, don't use knives against us." You Yang Jiale is kind and charitable, we respect it, but you don't care about us killing corrupt officials! ”

Zhen'er said: "Lord Chen, he is not a corrupt official. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Miss Zhen'er, don't worry about it, let's open it ourselves and let them see." Dashun, open the box. ”

Da Shun snorted at Li Scar and went over to open the box. Li Scar leaned up, uncovered the red satin, and saw that it was only filled with stones, and suddenly became stupid: "Ah! We were fooled! ”

Hearing this, Zhen'er understood in her heart and asked, "Li Scar, did someone report to you?" ”

Li Scar said: "Exactly! Someone from Jinan came and said that Qin Cha had collected a lot of treasure and returned to Beijing, and we had been waiting here for a few days. ”

At this time, Zhang Wang also arrived with people on horseback. Zhang Wang dismounted and bowed his hand: "Zhang Wang, the prefect of Texas, greets Lord Qincha!" ”

Chen Tingjing hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang is exempt! ”

Zhang Wang had already seen that the situation was wrong, and said: "I came to see it off, but I didn't expect something to happen!" ”

Chen Tingjing whispered a few words to Zhang Wang, turned back to everyone and said, "Folks, I, Chen, don't blame you. Most of you are forced to fall into the grass for your life. From now on, the charity grain will no longer be donated, the tax will be borne according to the acreage of land, and the relief money and grain will be distributed to the affected people. ”

Li Scar asked, "Can you talk and count?" ”

Zhen'er glanced at Li Scar and said, "Of course Lord Qincha's words count!" ”

Chen Tingjing straightened his voice and shouted: "Texas Governor Zhang Wang! ”

Zhang Wang gave up his hand and was ordered: "Humble duty!" ”

Chen Tingjing pointed at Li Scar and said, "Just let them go home, don't be held accountable!" ”

When the heroes heard this, they were all stunned! Chen Tingjing pointed at Li Scar again and said, "Master Zhang, just take this good man away, don't embarrass him, ask for the reason, and deal with him leniently!" ”

Li Scarzi saw that his brothers were wilted, and he had no courage to stand out, so he had to be arrested.

Chen Tingjing said goodbye to Zhang Wang and the others, got into the carriage and hurried again. After walking for a long time, Dashun inadvertently turned back, but saw Zhen'er Pegasus coming, and hurriedly reported to Chen Tingjing: "Master, why did Zhen'er catch up again?" ”

Chen Tingjing stopped the carriage, got out of the carriage and asked, "I don't know what else Miss Zhen'er has to say." ”

Zhen'er said: "Lord Qincha, you saved my Yang family, I also saved you today, we are clear!" ”

Hearing this, there was no reason, and by the way, he said, "Why is Miss Zhen'er so angry?" I thought you were going to see us off! ”

Zhen'er said: "Those who wanted to take the life of Lord Qincha just now obviously listened to Fu Lun's demagogy. However, Lord Qincha has to protect this corrupt official when he dies, why is this? ”

Chen Tingjing couldn't explain the truth to Zhen'er, so he only said, "Miss Zhen'er, please go back." ”

Zhen'er's eyes were a little resentful, and she said: "The three things you just said to the people still have to be written in the proclamation of the governor's yamen in the end, and Fu Lun will really become a good official in the future!" ”

Chen Tingjing really couldn't say anything, so he said: "Miss Zhen'er, you are a person with a clear heart and a bright eye, and you can see everything clearly. Just keep reading and look back. Girl, please come back. ”

Jane burst into tears, flew on her horse, and fell off the reins. Chen Tingjing watched Zhen'er gradually move away, until she turned around the foot of the mountain in the distance before getting into the carriage.

Chen Tingjing stayed at the official post for a night, and after breakfast, he was about to go on the road, but he saw a young man riding a horse waiting outside. Chen Tingjing was stunned, it turned out to be Zhen'er.

Chen Tingjing stepped forward quickly, not knowing what to do: "Miss Zhen'er, you are ......"

Zhen'er jumped off the horse and said, "Lord Chen, I want to go to the capital with you!" ”

Chen Tingjing was so shocked that he was even more incoherent: "Go to the capital? This ......"

Zhen'er had tears in her eyes and said, "Zhen'er respects Lord Chen and is willing to live and die together!" ”

Chen Tingjing's face turned white when he heard this, and he shook his head again and again: "Zhen'er, this can't be done!" ”

Zhen'er said: "Zhen'er can't read and write, and she can always use it to serve you tea and pour water." ”

Chen Tingjing bowed his hand, as if worshiping the Bodhisattva: "Zhen'er, don't do it!" Go back quickly, don't worry your family! ”

Zhen'er was resolute and said, "Master Chen, don't say more, even if you dislike me, I won't go back!" The lives of our country girls are nothing more than random matching, and we don't know what kind of life we will live in the future! ”

Da Shun laughed on the side and said, "Yes, it's lively now!" ”

Liu Jing and Ma Ming also pursed their mouths and smiled. Zhen'er pouted and said, "I know you're going to laugh at me, but I'm not going back anyway." ”

Chen Tingjing sighed for a long time and said, "Zhen'er, you are chivalrous and righteous, and I, Chen Tingjing, respect you very much." But I'm just taking you back, what will others think? ”

When Zhen'er heard this, a wry smile appeared on her face, but tears kept flowing, and she said, "It turned out that I was afraid that I would slander your reputation, so Zhen'er didn't have anything to say." Let's go. ”

Chen Tingjing said solemnly and boarded the car. Dashun looked back from time to time and saw that Zhen'er was still standing on the horse and had not left. He sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to report to Chen Tingjing.
