Chapter XXXVIII
"Miss, seeing that it's going to be night, isn't this too much for Yu Zhixian? In the past, when he was fine, he often drank with the third son, but now that he has something to do, he won't give the young lady an explanation all day. Miss, shouldn't you give the evidence to Yu Zhixian? They protected each other, and they wanted to send us away at will. ”
Liuyun said angrily.
The Cheng family is also a family with a head and a face in Tongcheng, not to mention that the shop business is booming, how many neighbors have been brought to make money together, only every year to repair bridges and pave roads, the Cheng family has never been absent once, every time they take the lead in paying money, the bridges on the streets of Tongcheng, three of the five are paid by the Cheng family.
She is just a girl, and when she goes out, she holds her head high and her neighbors respect her.
As a result, last night, he was first framed by the inspection inspection, and then the magistrate was contemptuous, and Liuyun's violent temper couldn't bear it.
Xiao Wu followed Liuyun and followed Cheng Yuguan's side.
In the past, Xiao Wu was the youngest in the store, and he could only do chores after following the clan, but last night he had the opportunity to run before and after, and now he is cheeky to follow behind Miss, especially for Miss Run before and after.
Listening to Liuyun's complaint at this time, Xiao Wu raised his eyes and glanced at the young lady's face, and tentatively spoke.
"In the past two days, the streets of Tongcheng have been full of news of water bandits, although we are far away from Tongcheng, but they have been affected. Now in the city, not to mention that people are panicking, there must be some anxiety in the county, after all, our Tongcheng is a traffic artery, and the things on the water surface have too much impact on Tongcheng. ”
After speaking, Xiao Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Yuguan, and said carefully, "So I'm afraid that Lord Zhixian didn't deliberately ignore our Cheng family, it should be too busy these days." ”
Liuyun turned his head suddenly, looked at Xiao Wu with a round head and a round brain, and stretched out his finger to point at Xiao Wu's head, "You, you're just too simple." Miss's ready-made evidence has been handed over to Yu Zhixian, and he doesn't show up all day, even if he finds someone to pass on the matter, how he plans to deal with it. We've been in the shop for a day. Do you see anyone coming? This is to despise our Cheng family. ”
As he spoke, Liuyun put away his fingers and turned his head to look at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, if the magistrate asks for something in the future, we can dry him and find today's field!" ”
Xiao Wu rubbed the corner of his forehead that was poked by Liuyun, and when he heard Liuyun say this, he also looked at Miss.
Cheng Yuguan was sitting quietly at the table at this time, his dark eyes were heavy, as if he was thinking about something.
She has already received a reply from her third cousin Feishu, when he left Tongcheng, the situation of the water bandits was not as menacing as it is now, and every time the Cheng family's business went out, they would bring enough manpower, so Cheng Lang was the most calm. It's just that he has now arrived in Wuling, and he is waiting for a deal, and it is impossible for him to return immediately.
Tongcheng garrisoned there, followed Cheng Lang, sent troops out of the city, and now patrols the water, trying to find out the water bandits, at least to protect the merchant ships coming and going, there will be no more bad incidents. The doppelganger lacks skills.
Zhao inspected there, and he should be the most worried. He couldn't use it, and now I'm afraid he's busy cleaning up the aftermath.
What about Yuzhi County? The arrest was done by the county lieutenant, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be busy all day.
Cheng Yuguan suddenly thought that Inspector Zhao had mentioned it last night, saying that the reason why he took the risk was because Cao Shiyou promised that Inspector Cao would support Inspector Zhao to go further and sit in the position of magistrate when he was promoted for the next three years.
Correspondingly, Zhao Patrol has to be assessed and promoted, is Yu Zhixian also facing these?
The Cheng family has only been in Tongcheng for two years, and this is the first time that they have encountered the changes when they were promoted.
If this is the case, Cheng Yuguan thought that Yu Zhixian didn't have time to come over and give an explanation to the Cheng family, he was afraid that he was waiting for the price to sell.
With the handle in hand, Yu Zhixian is waiting for Zhao to inspect and the people behind him to bid, what help can he give him to smooth out this matter, and even go further, it is not necessary to win the support of Yu Zhixian.
As for the Cheng family, facing promotion, where can they still take care of their past friendships? If the Cheng family can't help him, he doesn't deal with the Cheng family with the same flow, and he can be regarded as having a bottom line in life.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was a little fast, she always felt that these officials in Tongcheng were busy, but the Cheng family was excluded.
The bandits outside are just the surface, and the attention of the officials and lords in the city is not there.
Thinking of Liu Zeming's father, he is not Yu Zhixian's top boss, but at this time, Liu Xuezheng is what he said.
"Xiao Wu, Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou, where will they gather on weekdays? Do you have a way to follow them and see what they're doing? ”
Thinking too much is just to scare yourself, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not mess up, Cheng Yuguan is ready to probe Liu Zeming's bottom.
Xiao Wu runs errands every day, Cao Shiyou and Dong Wenping are a few sons, and they are the few characters in Tongcheng, and he really knows a few of their daily places.
"Miss, Cao Shiyou used to go to the Huibin Building to gather and recite poems, make a lot of literary achievements, and occasionally go to the red-sleeved Zhao Xiao Taohong to drink."
Hearing this, Liuyun pursed his lips. Tongcheng has convenient transportation, there are many merchants staying, and naturally all kinds of green mansions are indispensable.
The young scholars in Tongcheng love to linger in the flowers, as if they can't keep up with the fashion if they don't go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.
The Cheng family has strict family rules and is unique.
This is also the reason why the Cheng family is a little out of place in Tongcheng.
Cheng Yuguan heard this and nodded, "Find a few eye-catching ones to follow, don't startle the snake." It doesn't matter what they do, just where they go and who they come into contact with. ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Wu took the order and rushed out, but his immature face was full of determination and a hint of excitement.
This is the first time that Miss has asked him to do things, he used to run errands, and now he has an order to instruct others, Xiao Wu just wants to become a fart worm at this time, and closely follow Cao Shiyou to complete Miss's task.
I looked at the hourglass, it was just getting dark, and the day was getting longer, it should be about six o'clock in the evening.
"Miss, let's eat something first."
Liuyundao.
Xiao Wu can do things outside, and she has to take care of Miss Liuyun inside.
Cheng Yu cared about something, and said casually when he heard the words, "Just give me a bowl of porridge and a side dish." ”
Liuyun went out, but Cheng Yuguan was thinking about what was going to happen next.
Although the Cheng family has roots, they are far away in the capital. On weekdays, when you are in harmony, naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone, now it's time to fight the hole cards. If no one in the Cheng family can help with the promotion of officials, then it is inevitable to be passive.
Especially most of the Cheng family is now by the side of the third cousin. The remaining few small ones, the old ones, and Cheng Yuguan's identity as a woman, I am afraid that they will be taken care of by others.
In fact, they've already got their hands dirty.
Cheng Yuguan was framed last night? It's just that she has the ability to get out. If the third cousin doesn't come back with someone again, and the other party comes back and sends more people, even if Cheng Yuguan is skilled, he will be invincible with two fists and four hands.
…
At the top of the red sleeve move, this is the room of Oiran Little Pink.
On weekdays, the little peach of the Oiran is rare to see, but today she obediently sits next to Liu Zeming and Liu Gongzi, pouring wine and wiping her mouth, diligent and soft.
The capital is a prosperous place with wealth and charm.
Liu Zeming is from the capital, and he was born with a halo in the eyes of the fireworks women in Tongcheng, not to mention that Liu Zeming's figure is quite majestic, and his appearance is also good.
Xiao Taohong can kneel beside Liu Zeming, and she didn't take the initiative to lean into Jia Gongzi's arms, which is already reserved.
"Liu Gongzi, please."
Xiao Taohong served a glass of wine with his hand, Liu Zeming's eyes were moist at the moment, obviously he had drunk a lot, at this moment he glanced at Xiao Taohong, but did not take the wine glass, but stretched his chin and drank the cup with Xiao Taohong's hand, and the two eyebrows met, as if they could pull out the silk.
"I still have to go all out, take advantage of Cheng Yuguan's lack of reaction, send her to prison, hold her hand and let her draw a detention, and turn the case into an iron case, otherwise it will be too late to change, and it will be too late to regret it."
The faint voice in the place where the red candle was drunk, it seemed unexpectedly sober, but with a secret excitement and a hint of viciousness.
"Hah!" Dong Wenping, who was beside Liu Zeming, laughed out loud, hugged the prostitute beside him, and laughed loudly, "Hey, Brother Cao, I thought that this prince was a spotless and arrogant person on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be even more ruthless than us." Brother Wang, come to me to respect you, with you in the future, why don't our brothers worry about not being able to make a career! ”
Dong Wenping was visibly drunk, his eyes were blurred, his voice was fluttering, and his hands were unsteady, and when he raised his glass to the person opposite, a glass of wine spilled most of it on the woman next to him, which made the woman coquettish.
The prince on the opposite side did not dislike it, gathered all the wine glasses and drank them all, and his cheerful appearance made everyone on the field applaud.
The choked Wang Gongzi wiped his mouth, and his round cheeks were exposed, it was Wang Qin.
I saw that his innocent and bright eyes were dyed with a hint of black, and he sank his eyes, not looking at Dong Wenping, who was already drunk, but at Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou.
Liu Zeming naturally hoped that Cheng Yuguan could be trampled on the soles of his feet as soon as possible, and followed to look at Cao Shiyou on the side.
Cao Shiyou hesitated.
"Yesterday, Zhao Patrol was just caught by the magistrate, and the magistrate's attitude is unknown, and now I'm afraid no one dares to act at will."
Cao Shiyou was a little bitter in his heart.
In the past, a few of them just read together and played together, even if there were contradictions, a fight and a few words of scolding were nothing.
Since Liu Gongzi came to Tongcheng, he took them to stay in a brothel, gather their companions, and drink to have fun, and unconsciously, the simple and transparent life in the past seemed to become colorful and colorful in an instant.
I still remember the first time I stayed in a brothel, and my father took a feather duster to teach him a lesson. Liu Zeming said good things for him, and he was still grateful.
But gradually, after the initial stimulation, Cao Shiyou felt that this day was boring.
On weekdays, at most, they have a fight, and the companions who grew up together are now opening their mouths and closing their mouths, and they are about to frame others in prison, and the object is still the daughter of the Cheng family.
This kind of dangerous life like stepping on a tightrope made Cao Shiyou feel bored in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
looked at Dong Wenping beside him, and Wang Qin on the other side, it was obvious that he brought Liu Zeming to his companion's side, but at this time, these people seemed to be entangled into demonic beasts, Cao Shiyou was afraid that he would retreat, so he let these people see it and swallowed him in his belly.
You can only make false promises and delay time.
At this time, for some reason, he missed Cheng Lang very much who was "fake and serious" on weekdays, if he was still here, it would be absolutely impossible for them to fall to this point.
"Brother Cao? Brother Cao? What are you thinking? ”
Suddenly, a faint voice that seemed to have no emotion sounded, Cao Shiyou woke up suddenly, and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.
saw Wang Qin, who was simple and bright in the past, looking at him with a smile at this time. It's just that smile that makes Cao Shiyou feel a little chill in his heart.
"Huh? What did you say? I was thinking about who else to go to, and I was distracted for a moment. ”
Cao Shiyou explained.
Wang Qin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Cao Shiyou and said, "I thought Brother Cao regretted it, and I was shocked." Among us, Liu Zeming's son has just arrived, and we can only rely on Brother Cao to help. If Brother Cao regrets it, won't he leave us behind? After all, Zhao Inspector inspected that old oilman and had already supplied us all, and it was too late for us to turn back. Really wait for Cheng Lang to come back, don't say anything else, the dozens of Cheng Jiaerlang, Brother Cao may not be afraid of hiding in the official office, but a few of us can't hide. ”
Wang Qin's voice was still faint, but the smile on Cao Shiyou's face was almost unbearable.
Looking at Liu Zeming and Dong Wenping's questioning eyes, Cao Shiyou hurriedly expressed his stance and made suggestions, "How is it possible?" You only have an idea about this matter, but I am in touch with it. Speaking of which, I'm the mastermind, and you're a staff officer at best. I'm afraid you'll quit halfway. ”
Cao Shiyou laughed, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it into his throat.
Dong Wenping said with a smile, "Brother Cao has beauties around him, why don't you know how to enjoy it?" The wine poured out by the beautiful woman's crisp hand is sweeter. ”
Cao Shiyou smiled awkwardly and glanced at the prostitute beside him, the heavy powder was becoming more and more gorgeous under the candlelight.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Liu Zeming spoke, "Shiyou, you will make an appointment with Zhixian, and now that the matter is now, you can't just let you contribute, and a few of us must also express it." After a while, it is equivalent to the magistrate coming, let him open conditions, and see how he can invite someone to move. ”
Speaking of Zhixian, Liu Zeming still looks very arrogant, and he doesn't seem to take Zhixian in his eyes at all.
Also, Liu Zeming came from the capital, and what he saw every day was all ministry officials, how could he care about a seven-grade county?
It was Liu Zeming's tone of treating the county magistrates who they usually regarded as heaven as dust that made Dong Wenping and Cao Shiyou willing to follow him, before and after the saddle.
had mixed feelings in his heart, but Cao Shiyou didn't dare to shirk it, so he could only ask the little guy who followed him on weekdays to invite Yu Zhixian.
At the same time, he was hoping in his heart that Yu Zhixian would treat them as nonsense children, don't bother with them, let alone come over.
