In Changping County, the county government is in a partial room, and more than a dozen officials are guarding the door.

With a "snap", a violent slapping sound on the table suddenly sounded, which frightened the officials, and then came Pang Zhixian's angry reprimand, "Why do you know about Zhan Feiyu and don't report it, what are your intentions?"

Cheng Zhutou, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly explained: "My subordinates just thought that this matter was irrelevant, so they didn't take it to heart. ”

Where would Pang Zhixian believe him, and said: "The poison in the Qingplough is the unique salt poison of Yanjing Village, if there is no people from Yanjing Village to detoxify him, he will definitely die, Zheng Chudong's group will not detoxify him, Zhanpeng and his wife are dead, there is only one Zhan Feiyu left, you say it doesn't matter?"

Cheng Zhutou's eyes flashed, and he said, "I...... I didn't think much about it at the time. ”

General Pang Zhixian said suspiciously: "This official has raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay this official?

It turned out that the black-clothed masked man who was fighting with Jiang Yi was Cheng Zhutou.

On the way to patrol the Salt Imperial History Mansion, they discussed, Pang Zhixian dragged Gao Chang, and Cheng Zhutou took the opportunity to sneak into the backyard and kill Qing Geng, but Cheng Zhutou never thought that he would meet Jiang Yi who was fighting for his life. As for why Pang Zhixian dragged Gao Chang instead of others, it was also due to Cheng Zhutou.

According to Cheng Zhutou, Gao Chang is the second oldest among the five brothers of Qinggeng, and he is also the deputy general headed by the armor under the command of the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion. Besides, he is gentle and elegant, and he will definitely not lose his manners when treating people and things, while Jiang Yi and others, who are reckless and upright, will not say those polite words, and they will be very embarrassed to treat people and things, and often make both parties unhappy. Besides, if Cheng Zhutou had expected to be bad, he would have gone off the rails and let Jiang Yi entertain them, and Cheng Zhutou would not agree to Pang Zhixian to attack Qinggeng, after all, his skills are not comparable to Jiang Yi, and he also has a terrifying stunt, that is, a flying knife that is unguardable.

And on the way back to the Zhixian Mansion from the Patrol Salt Imperial History Mansion, Cheng Zhutou also informed Pang Zhixian that he was stopped by Jiang Yi's death, and that he did not attack and kill Qinggeng.

Since the matter was not done well, it was inevitable to be scolded, and Cheng Zhutou did not defend himself anymore, because he knew that Pang Zhixian was angry, and no matter how much he defended, it was in vain, so he just lowered his head and said along Pang Zhixian: "What Lord Zhixian taught is that his subordinates are a waste." Although Cheng Zhutou said so, but he hated it in his heart, after all, let himself admit that he was a waste, and no one could stand it, he gritted his teeth and finished speaking, but his eyes flashed ruthlessly, but he didn't do anything, after all, there were still many officials guarding outside the house, if he dared to do it to Pang Zhixian now, his good days would come to an end.

Pang Zhixian saw the fierce color in Cheng Zhutou's eyes, directly slapped him in the face, bent over again, leaned his head forward, pulled his hair bun again, pulled his head to his side, stared at him and said coldly: "What, you want to kill this official? Come, this official will give you a chance!" Pang Zhixian let go of his hand and leaned his head forward again, but this time he tilted his head and his neck was wide open.

Cheng Zhu's hand hanging down his side was tightly pinched, but he still didn't move.

Seeing that Cheng Zhutou didn't make a move, Pang Zhixian retracted his head, stood up, kicked Cheng Zhutou again, kicked him to the ground, and said: "Even if you are given a hundred guts, what can you do? Tell you Cheng Ji, if it wasn't for me Pang Dusk, you two brothers and sisters would have starved to death on the streets, where is there a good day today, you'd better give me some peace, don't beat those little Jiujiu." ”

Cheng Ji hurriedly knelt up again, and said resignedly: "My subordinates will never dare to have two hearts." ”

Pang Du snorted coldly, squinted at Cheng Ji and said: "Don't think that your sister is going to marry that person, you can fly on the branches as a phoenix, the grass chicken will always be the grass chicken, if it weren't for the official to thread the needle from it, you wouldn't even be a grass chicken." Pang Du flicked his sleeves and walked out the door, leaving another sentence, "Even if you can fly up the branches, this hunter can shoot you all down." ”

Cheng Ji, who was left alone in the side room, stood up and clenched his fists, his eyes were fierce, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and then turned around and walked out of the house. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the officials outside the house had already left with Pang Dui, and Pang Dui threatened Cheng Ji's brothers and sisters again, Cheng Ji was concerned about his sister's safety, and hurriedly walked in the direction of his house.

Cheng Ji's home is not as prosperous as the Imperial History Mansion and the County Governor's Mansion, nor is it located on several main streets in the county, the location is relatively partial, and it is relatively simple, not that he has less money and cannot afford to buy it, but that he has a county like Pang Dui, and it is indispensable to deduct money, as for how much to deduct, it all depends on whether Cheng Ji does his best, and it can even be said that it completely depends on Pang Dui's mood, and Pang Dui arranged a high-sounding reason for it, saying that it is " There are more people in the world who want to be a leader, if you want to climb high and sit firmly, you must take some money out and dedicate it to those officials above, otherwise there is a vast ocean below them, who cares about a small fish boy, but if this little fish boy knows how to prey on the big shark, it is another matter. Otherwise, why do you think you and I are where we are today? ”

Cheng Ji crossed the main street where the Zhixian Yamen was located, turned into a small street, walked about 300 steps, and then turned into a dark alley. This alley is not like the houses on both sides of the street, there are lanterns hanging on the eaves, only occasionally there are a few houses that are a little more spacious and light with faint candlelight, which adds a little fireworks to the alley under the night, which includes Cheng Ji's family, not Pang Dui's kindness, Shaoke deducted Cheng Ji's money, but Cheng Ji's sister Cheng Min relied on following Cheng Ji's several years of sword and fist kung fu, in Changping County Fengping Dart Bureau to ask for a supernumerary dart master's errand, every month with a meager monthly money, fortunately, Liang Xia, the daughter of the head of the dart, and Cheng Min befriended, and the big men above and below the dart bureau took care of her, and their family can be like this。 After all, since ancient times, the dart industry has been a dangerous business, and the tip of the knife often licks blood, so few women do it, Cheng Min also begged Liang Xia bitterly, Liang Xia went to ask her father Liang Shixiong, Liang Shixiong saw that Cheng Min was determined to be a dart master, so he agreed to be a supernumerary dart master. Cheng Min is also content, knowing that his skills are still shallow, and being able to become a supernumerary dart master is already the kindness of Liang's father and daughter. Cheng Min entered the dart game, and those rough men took care of her in every way, after all, there are no longer a few of these men who have not married their daughters-in-law, and if they have a good relationship with Cheng Min, maybe one day their lifelong event will become a major event. It wasn't until the news of Cheng Min's imminent marriage came that their kindness to Cheng Min slowly faded, but there were still many things that made her go, after all, female dart masters have been rare since ancient times, and Cheng Min's arrival at least brought a bit of spring to the Fengping Dart Bureau.

After walking along the alley for more than 100 steps, Cheng Ji came to a house with faint candlelight, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Min'er, I'm back." ”

There was a rush of footsteps in the house, and then the door was opened, and there was a young woman standing behind the door, with the help of faint candlelight, it was vaguely seen that the woman's eyebrows were clear, her eyes blinked, her eyes were like the starlight in the night, the corners of her mouth were grinning, and her teeth were like the moon.

Cheng Min smiled: "Brother, the meals are ready, just waiting for you." ”

Cheng Ji asked instead, "Nothing happened at home, right?"

Cheng Min looked puzzled, "What can happen?"

Cheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, let's eat!"

Cheng Ji and Cheng Min entered the hut, came to the wooden table, and sat opposite each other. Cheng Min just picked up the chopsticks, caught a glimpse of Cheng Ji's somewhat red and swollen cheeks with the help of dim candlelight, and hurriedly put down the chopsticks, and asked in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong with your face, you were injured when you arrested the prisoner?"

Cheng Ji didn't want Cheng Min to worry, his eyes flickered, and he nodded and said, "I met a bandit today!"

Cheng Min picked up the chopsticks suspiciously, pinched a few small pieces of meat for Cheng Ji, and said, "Then eat more meat and make it up." ”

Cheng Ji also wanted to clip a few pieces of meat for Cheng Min, but there was only a little meat foam left after rummaging through the dishes, so he divided two pieces of meat from his bowl to Cheng Min. Cheng Min knew Cheng Ji's temperament, and he didn't shirk it, he picked up the meat with a smile, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Looking at Cheng Min's smiling face, Cheng Ji felt instead of a taste, and said in his heart: I haven't let my little sister live a good life for so many years.

Ashamed, his mind went back to seven years ago.

At that time, there was a famine in their hometown, and their parents gave them all the food they found in order to let their brothers and sisters survive.

Cheng Ji learned some kung fu with the martial artists in the village when he was young, and it was enough to go to a big family to be a nurse, but at this time he was still young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and those big families looked down on him, so they didn't hire him, and in desperation, he could only pull his young sister to work on the street to barely make a living.

One day, Pang Duan, who was still serving as the chief bookkeeper of the county government, passed by the street, stopped to look at it for a while, and took a fancy to Cheng Ji's insistence, so he bought their brother and sister, and Cheng Ji became his doorman. Over the years, although Pang Du has also tried his best to train Cheng Ji, so that Cheng Ji's martial arts and experience in the rivers and lakes have been greatly improved, but if he doesn't like him, he beats and scolds Cheng Ji, and he is very fierce. Later, with the full help of Cheng Ji, Pang Du sat in the seat of the magistrate.

Thinking of this, Pang Dui was so good to Cheng Ji in the past, Cheng Ji felt that he had ulterior motives.

After eating, Cheng Ji said to Cheng Min, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Min'er, I'm going to go out." ”

Cheng Min raised his eyes and asked, "What are you going out to do so late?"

Cheng Ji said: "Don't ask too much, I'll be back soon!" He just took a step and said: "Remember to close the doors and windows before I come back, don't go out!"

Cheng Min nodded blankly, and Cheng Ji pushed the door out.
