Chapter 14: The Foolish Second Son

Now that the question was almost asked, Lord Zhou stood up and prepared to leave.

He raised the letter in his hand and asked Zeng Yuanwai: "This is extremely important evidence, can you stay with this official?"

Zeng Yuanwai nodded again and again: "This is natural." ”

Master Zhou carefully put the letter in his arms, and then said goodbye to Zeng Yuanwai.

He was anxious and wanted to rush back to the county office as soon as possible.

Even if he didn't know Ye Feng and couldn't distinguish the handwriting on this letter, there were two people who lived in the backyard of the county government and knew Ye Feng very well, and they should be able to distinguish the authenticity of the signature on this letter.

Lord Zhou has always been a man of his word in Qingping County, which is well-known locally.

Since he promised that the government would definitely take care of this matter, then he would definitely send someone to come the day after tomorrow, and Zeng was not worried about this, so he didn't keep it much, but just got up to send him off.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they heard a noisy noise coming from the courtyard.

Looking closely, I saw a young man in brocade standing at the door of a round gate on the side of the courtyard that seemed to lead to the backyard.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, a little older than Lord Zhou, and his brocade clothes looked of fine material and exquisite workmanship, but he seemed to be crawling around on the ground, covered with mud and dust, and dirty.

He is also good-looking, but he does look childish, and the smile on his face gives people a strange stupid feeling.

Behind him, there were several people who looked like family members were chasing, shouting and shouting, but he didn't care, tilted his head to chase a flower butterfly fluttering in front of him, completely ignoring the people behind.

Lord Zhou listened to the shouting from the family chasing behind: "Second young master, second young master......" and thought to himself, probably this person is the rumored idiot son outside the Zeng Yuan.

At this moment, all the thoughts of the kid were on the butterfly flying in front of him, seeing that the butterfly was about to fly outside the courtyard wall on the side, he was in a hurry, and suddenly rose into the air, his body was unusually light and pounced on the butterfly, and he stretched out his hands and gently wrapped the butterfly between his palms.

This next week, the adults were stunned, this seemingly stupid person has such good skills, which is indeed unexpected.

Seeing his move, Zeng Yuan, who was accompanying Master Zhou, suddenly changed his complexion, and hurriedly stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing?!"

The kid was originally looking down to admire the butterflies between his palms, but when he heard this, he looked up, and when he saw Zeng Yuanwai, his whole body was shocked, and he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

It seems that he must have been extremely afraid of Zeng Yuanwai, and when he was reprimanded by this, his palms suddenly drooped, and he didn't even notice that the butterfly he had been thinking about flew away on the plane.

At this time, several family members who were chasing after arrived panting, and Zeng Yuanwai angrily reprimanded: "You don't watch the second young master stay in the backyard well, why did he let him run to the front yard?

Those few family members stood with their heads down, but their faces were full of grievances, and they said in a low voice: "It's the second young master who looks good at butterflies, and we have to catch up with each other, and we didn't know that there were distinguished guests in the mansion today." Besides, if he wants to run, how can we stop him?"

Zeng Yuanwai's face was full of anger, and he reprimanded: "A few fools, what do you want? You dare to talk too much here, why don't you hurry up and help the second young master to the backyard?"

The family didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly surrounded the stupid boy, and even coaxed him to the backyard.

The kid lost the butterfly, and he looked around a little unwillingly, but the butterfly had already flown out of the courtyard wall at the moment, and he was missing, where could he still see it?

Therefore, even though he was unwilling, he was afraid of his father, so he could only reluctantly follow the family members to the backyard.

Zeng Yuanwai drank them away, turned around and apologized to Lord Zhou: "The dog is dull and playful, unlike today when he almost collided with the adult, I hope the adult will not be surprised." ”

Lord Zhou hurriedly returned it

Yili and asked, "This one just now must be Zeng Weng's youngest son, right?"

Zeng Yuanwai lowered his head and sighed: "The family is unfortunate, I don't want to let the adults laugh today." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and led the way straight ahead, seemingly reluctant to mention this son at all.

Lord Zhou didn't have to say anything, so he could only follow him out.

But I thought to myself in my heart, it seems that this is what I said before, the youngest son of the Zeng family who is going to marry Mrs. He's daughter, what Aunt Li said is not bad at all, he is really a stupid person, although he is tall and big, but looking at his behavior, he is like a child who is a few years old.

Such a person seems to need a mother to take care of him more urgently than a daughter-in-law. If Mrs. He's daughter marries in willingly, then it will really be a hell of a thing.

However, since Mrs. He's name is the youngest son of the Zeng family, why did she insist on taking the initiative to marry her daughter in?

With these questions, Lord Zhou returned to the county office.

As soon as he entered the county office, he went straight to the hut in the backyard, and sure enough, Miss Cheng was changing the dressing for Zhang Fatzi, and they were all there.

Seeing Lord Zhou coming back, Miss Cheng smiled and asked, "Looking at your hurried appearance, it seems that today's trip must have gained a lot." ”

Master Zhou nodded and said, "What Little Senior Aunt said is good, today's trip has indeed gained a lot, but it has also brought more surprising questions. ”

"Oh?" Miss Cheng glanced at him curiously, "Could it be that none of the three people who surrendered were murderers?"

Lord Zhou then told the truth about the news he heard from Aunt Li today.

After hearing this, Miss Cheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that little blacksmith to have such a relationship with Mrs. He's family. So about Mrs. He's marriage of her daughter to the youngest son of the Zeng family, can the adults confirm it?"

Master Zhou nodded and said: "It has been confirmed, this is indeed the case, and the youngest son of the Zeng family I also saw it with my own eyes by chance, and he is indeed a stupid person." ”

Miss Cheng said curiously: "Since the other party is a fool, why does Mrs. He have to marry her own daughter? ”

At this moment, Lord Zhou said with a mysterious look: "Not only that, but today in Zeng Yuanwai's house, something even more surprising happened!"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Fatzi, who was lying on the bed with his back on his back, couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "What is so surprising?"

Lord Zhou said: "Zeng Fu received a letter from a thief who ordered him to give his family wealth. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fatzi snorted from his nostrils in disappointment and turned his head.

This bandit has been going on for a long time, what is there to be surprised about?

The two of them looked disappointed before they met, and then said: "What is surprising is that the signature at the end of this letter is an absolutely unexpected figure. ”

Miss Cheng lowered her head and continued to change the dressing for Fat Zhang, but Fat Zhang turned his head away, looking too lazy to ask again.

Master Zhou said word by word at this time: "The signature of this letter is, Ye Feng!"

His words were like a thunderclap, Miss Cheng's whole body was shocked, the hand that changed the dressing suddenly froze, and the whole person was stunned.

Zhang Fatzi, who was lying motionless, suddenly turned over and sat up, his face full of surprise, and asked, "Who do you say?" Ye Feng?"

When he sat up, he touched his wounds, which made him frown, but he couldn't care about it at all.

Lord Zhou nodded and said categorically: "That's right, it's Ye Feng!"

Zhang Fatzi is a little unbelieving at the moment, Ye Feng is his brother-in-law, Fa Xiao, who has grown up with each other since childhood, can be said to be the person who knows best, if you want to say that Ye Feng has now become a thief who robs homes and houses and robs money, he will not believe it anyway.

After a pause, he asked, "Where is the letter?"

Master Zhou reached out and took out the letter from his arms: "It's here." ”

Zhang Fatzi didn't answer, but reached out and snatched it, and opened the letter to see the signature at the end of the letter.

At this look, he was stunned.

He was so familiar with Ye Feng, so he was naturally familiar with his handwriting.

Ye Feng was sent to learn knives with his master Demon Sword Demon on the fifth floor for ten years since he was a child, and only then returned to his father, although he had studied for a few years before, but his handwriting was indeed not flattering. Although it is not ugly, it is also ordinary and has no merit.

Zhang Fatzi now looks at it, who else can the word "Ye Feng" be if it is not his handwriting?

Zhang Fatzi stayed for a long time, and read the letter word by word from beginning to end several times, and finally confirmed that this letter was written by his righteous brother Ye Feng.

He put down the letter, a look of disbelief on his face.

Miss Cheng on the side understood seven or eight points when she looked at him, and reached out to take the letter to take a look, isn't it Ye Feng's own handwriting?

At this moment, her heart is really full of mixed feelings.

Since the farewell in Xi'an City, it is rumored in the world that Ye Feng has died in the tomb of the Qin Emperor.

However, only she didn't believe it, she always had a belief in her heart, even the rare golden toad poison in the world failed to take Ye Feng's life, how could he die so easily?

He must still be alive! He must still be somewhere waiting to be reunited with him!

So Miss Cheng left her father, the divine doctor Cheng Sansi, and began to travel the world and wander all over the world.

Although she didn't know where she was going, she wandered around for only one purpose, to inquire about Ye Feng's news.

However, there has been no news.

After such a long time, it wasn't until yesterday that she saw Zhang Fatzi again, which confirmed that Ye Feng did not die in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, he was still alive!

This news is enough to make her happy, after searching for so long, the belief she insists on in her heart turns out to be true!

However, today she got the news about Ye Feng, and also saw the letter written by Ye Feng himself, how could this not make her feel very excited?

She sat there with the letter in her hands, stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of reaction she should make.

But Zhang Fat Man seemed to recover from the shock first, shook his big round head and said, "No, no......"

Lord Zhou asked, "Zhang Shizi is saying that the handwriting of this letter is wrong, not written by Ye Feng?"

There is no wonder in the world, and there is a person with the same name and surname who is also called "Ye Feng", which is not surprising originally.

However, Zhang Fatzi shook his head: "There is no doubt that this letter must have been written by the fourth child himself, but I wonder why he fell in love with this Zeng family's wealth, and when did he do this business? Is this Zeng family very rich?"

Lord Zhou also shook his head, in fact, he had always had this question in his heart.

Even if the Zeng family is the richest man in this county, at best, it is only a rich man in this small Qingping County, and it is nothing in the world, compared to the Heavenly Providence Lou Ji family that Ye Feng made friends with before, it is even more just the light of a grain of rice.

Why did Ye Feng choose the Zeng family as his target?

Zhang Fatzi thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Feng Mingli is also mentioned in this letter, he is a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes before. Could this former member be a figure in the rivers and lakes?"

Lord Zhou shook his head, since Zeng Yuanwai moved to Qingping County more than ten years ago to settle down, he just did business honestly, and he had a strange temper, rarely socialized with people, and easily did not step out of the house, I really had never heard of him having dealings with any people in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Fatzi couldn't figure it out, shook his big round head and muttered: "Could it be that there are any other treasures hidden in the Zeng family? ”

Master Zhou sighed in his heart, it seems that there are a lot of strange things encountered today!
