Chu Qi sat in the carriage, next to Cheng San and Cheng Wu.

There were three carriages in the back, one was for Chen's wife and Chen Dalang, one was for the three sons of Zhang Juren, and the other was for the Zhang clan.

Except for the worries of the Chen family, the rest of the people were very sad, originally thought that they would not be able to get into the Jinshi at most when they entered Beijing, but they didn't expect that they didn't even go out of Liaodong, so they threw their lives in the mountains.

Chen's wife looked at the son of the Zhang family who was dressed in filial piety, and then looked at the Cheng family with a solemn face, and whispered to her son very happily: "Your father is really blessed with a great life, both Cheng Ju and Zhang Juren died so miserably, only your father was only injured, and the Bodhisattva bless ......"

Chen Dalang's heart moved and said: "Mother, don't you think that since I beat my wife, everything has been smooth in our family?" First my father was admitted to the lifting of people, and then everyone else had an accident, but my father was only slightly injured. Mother, Jiaojiao is really prosperous in our family! ”

Chen's wife pondered his words carefully, "But your father is injured, and I don't know if I can enter Beijing to take the exam." ”

"Oh mother, do you think, which is luckier than being injured or losing your life?"

Chen's wife felt that her son's words were reasonable, "You're right! I didn't like Jiaojiao before, but now I see that she is indeed beneficial to our family. She remembered something "oops" and clapped her hand: "Fortunately, you are married, otherwise she would still be the daughter of the Cheng family, and it would be Cheng Juren." ”

Chen Dalang's face flashed with joy, and he discussed with his mother: "I want to marry her as soon as possible, and my mother also knows that the Cheng family doesn't look down on her, just because she is married to me, the Cheng family actually sent her to such a far place." said that she was seeing a doctor, but she didn't say anything about the disease, and I didn't see that her father and mother were worried, and it is unknown whether this disease is true or not. ”

Chen's wife patted her son's hand: "Don't worry, since this daughter-in-law is beneficial to our family, she will definitely marry you back." It's just that now is not the time to mention this, you wait, and wait until she has passed the filial piety period before mentioning it, otherwise it will be bad for you and your father's reputation, and your father and son will become officials in the future. ”

Cheng Wu was also saying: "Third brother, look at the Chen family, fortunately, I didn't marry their family on the first day of junior high school!" What is it! ”

Indeed, Chen's wife is wearing purple satin clothes, and Chen Dalang is also wearing navy blue satin clothes, which does look very eye-catching at this time.

Cheng San is a sincere person, but he said a fair word: "Chen Juren was just injured, and the Chen family didn't expect it." ”

Cheng Chuqi doesn't look down on the Chen family, but she also has to admit that if her father is gone, the Cheng family will definitely be inferior to the Chen family in the future. "Fifth uncle, I don't think we should stay away in the future, there is no need to offend them. Isn't there a saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, the Chen family is the 'villain', and it is enough to stay away from it in the future. ”

Cheng Wu muttered: "You still say me, don't you also say that people are 'villains'." ”

The two fought with each other, but it soothed the sadness and uneasiness in their hearts.

The atmosphere inside the other carriage was not so good.

There are three brothers in the Zhang family, the eldest two are in their twenties, and they have been married for many years and have children. The little one looked fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Yun Hui, shrunk in the corner, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was a little dazed with grief.

Zhang Da and Zhang Er's two brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at the third child, Zhang Da wiped his tears and said: "The third brother, didn't my mother say how much silver there is in the family?" Our father's future affairs can't be too simple to make people laugh, but you also know that my brothers are not at home, and it is difficult to do things without money in their hands! ”

Zhang Er nodded: "Yes, third, our father loved you the most when he was alive, you have to persuade your mother, this silver is not important, it really makes people laugh, you can't raise your head to be a man in the future, right?" ”

Zhang Yu has been well protected since he was a child, not only has he never experienced life and death, but he will not know the twists and turns in his brothers' hearts.

He said honestly: "I don't know where my mother's money is, I'll go back and let my mother find it again." ”

The two elder brothers glanced at each other and quickly looked away, "Then look for it, I really can't borrow some first." ”

Zhang Yu couldn't help but lower his head and cried: "Big brother, second brother, dad really?" Could it be mistaken? ”

Zhang Da looked at him with disdain, but his words were very gentle, "Third brother, this is the county magistrate sent someone to inform him, it is estimated that he will not be mistaken." ”

Liaodong is very large, and they walked for three days before they arrived at the place where a few people had an accident.

Chen Juren injured his head, and wrapped a circle of gauze around his forehead, and there were traces of blood on the cloth.

Seeing them coming, he staggered past his wife and children and hugged Cheng San and cried, "Woo~ It's because I didn't take care of Brother Cheng and Brother Zhang, if it wasn't for Brother Cheng, I really wanted to go with them......"

Cheng San also cried, but he was stupid and didn't know what to say at the moment?

It's impossible to say you're going along, it's polite to say you're polite? It doesn't feel like a good place.

Although Cheng Wu is sharp-tongued, he also knows that people's kind words at the moment are not easy to reply. He only cried along with him, and after a while he raised his head and persuaded: "Chen Juren, third brother, don't cry first, let's discuss the matter of finding the eldest brother!" And the Zhang family is also here......"

Chen Juren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and let go of Cheng Sandao: "Yes, yes, we still have to get down to business." ”

The third son of the Zhang family stepped forward to salute, and Chen Juren went over to shake Zhang Da's hand and cried: "Your father died miserably...... You've come just in time to welcome him back......"

The Zhang family all cried bitterly.

There are not only officials sent by the local county government here, but also officers and soldiers sent by the royal government.

However, it has been a few days since Cheng Da disappeared, and after a few days of searching, the officers and soldiers announced that Cheng Da had died and refused to look for him again.

When they came, the officers and soldiers and the officials of the county government were preparing to go back.

The Cheng family didn't care about the affairs of the Zhang family, and Cheng San asked Chen Juren: "Do you know where my fourth brother is?" ”

"He took people into the mountains to find Brother Cheng, and yesterday he asked people to bring a letter out, and he was going to take people downstream to look for it."

Cheng Chuqi asked: "Didn't you say that the officers and soldiers were leaving?" Who did he bring? ”

Chen Juren glanced at her and patiently explained: "It's a villager hired locally. ”

As he was talking, an official came over, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Chen Juren, the military masters sent by the palace are leaving, look at ......" He said as he kept rubbing his thumb and index finger.

Cheng San was slightly surprised, why do the military masters still need silver if they are not officials? But he's just honest and not stupid, even if he thinks so in his heart, he won't ask.

Chen Juren hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll let the insider take the silver." He said to his wife, "Take a hundred denarii." ”

Mrs. Chen was surprised and wanted to say something, but he had already turned his head and explained to the three members of the Cheng family: "I asked the officials to help me go down the cliff to find Brother Cheng for a few days, and these will have to pay extra silver." ”

And Mrs. Chen hesitated and took out a few small silver tickets, and said with an embarrassed face: "Master, I brought you all the silver at home before, and now these are still borrowed, only forty taels ......."

Cheng San hurriedly said: "Since this money is for my eldest brother, it should be from our Cheng family." ”

Chen Juren scolded his wife with a calm face: "I gave you a message to bring more, why don't you borrow more money?" ”

turned to Cheng San and said: "Since I should do it, how can I let you ......?"

Cheng San also wanted to say, Cheng Wu had already rushed in front of him and said: "Cheng Juren, we didn't know that we would ask for so much silver, and now the family has to use money again, only bringing fifty taels, what should we do if there are ten taels left?" ”

Chen Juren's face froze.

Cheng San was also a little anxious, "Yes, how did I forget, just these fifty taels are still squeezed out." ”

Cheng Chuqi saw the expressions of several people clearly, and knew that Chen Juren was just polite, but the Cheng family who was looking for them, no matter what purpose Chen Juren had promised this money, the money should be paid by the Cheng family.

"I still have ten taels here, which my grandmother gave me when I came out." Cheng Chuqi took out two ingots and five taels of silver, "Let's pay the official's silver first!" Chen Juren's silver, we can only go back and find a way to pay you back. ”

Chen Juren was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it later." ”

Cheng Chuqi pushed the fifth uncle, and Cheng Wu immediately stretched out his hand to let Chen Juren: "Let's go Chen Juren, our brother will go with you, no matter what you say, it is also my Cheng family's business, we should thank the official master." ”

Chen Juren's hand was about to reach out to take the silver but failed, he smiled, "Okay, two please!" ”

Cheng San just honestly can't say nice things, but thank you sincerely, those officials can still be distinguished.

In addition, Cheng Wu can speak well, compared to Chen Juren, he is a little upright, but it makes those officers and soldiers more favorable.

After receiving the money, the leader said one more sentence: "I have never heard of bandits in this mountain before, but this time I don't know where such a group of people came from." When we found them, seven or eight of them had been poisoned. ”

His tone was a little meaningful, and several members of the Cheng family could hear that something was wrong, and Cheng Chuqi bowed deeply: "Thank you for telling me." ”

Seeing off the officers and soldiers, Cheng Wu whispered: "Is someone trying to harm the eldest brother?" ”

Cheng Chuqi felt unlikely, "My father has always been kind to people, and he has never made enemies with others, but there are some contradictions, and he will not find seven or eight people to kill people." ”

She said and shook her head: "What's more, Zhang Juren and them died on the spot." ”

"Maybe they killed the wrong person, my father and Zhang Juren are both fish in the pond."

She looked at the Zhang family in the distance, Zhang Juren's youngest son had cried until he fainted, and the Zhang family's clansmen were tearing Zhang Da Zhang Er while crying, obviously blaming Zhang Juren for the death of his family.

Several people died this time, and two were lifted, and the impact was very bad, otherwise the palace would not have sent people over.

You must know that this is the fief of the king of Liaodong, and if such a bad thing happens in his fief, he will be impeached by the imperial historian when it reaches the capital.

And Chen Juren was talking to his wife and children, Chen's wife looked worried, but Chen Juren was a little impatient.

The three Cheng brothers went to find Chen Juren, and when they heard that they were going to find Cheng Si, Chen Juren called a local hunter, "He is familiar with this place, and he took the official into the mountain before." ”

Seeing that they were anxious, he persuaded: "I know you are anxious, and I am also anxious!" But when you go into the mountains, you can't let Chu Qi follow, she is a girl's house, there are snakes and insects in the mountains, and there are fierce beasts, so you are afraid that it will not be enough for you to take the Orion alone......"
