"Long live it, if you receive the grace of God, govern a small county for the Holy One, and observe the people's feelings, it is enough to wish. Xie Huchen replied, this Manchu Dynasty has many civil and military forces, and he is not willing to be in the company of these people, and would rather be a petty official, but be happy.

Seeing that Xie Huchen was not a high-ranking official, but was willing to be a bitter seven-grade sesame petty official, Emperor Ming was even more sure that this young man was not a thing in the pool, and the future was promising, so he agreed to Xie Huchen's request and released him to Yixian County to be the magistrate.

"Huchen, why didn't the emperor say a word to Boss Yu? You shouldn't have stopped me just now. On the way back, Gui Ming complained.

"The emperor has his own intentions, your father was finally reinstated, and you are not afraid of angering the emperor, and the chicken and eggs will be beaten?" Xie Huchen replied.

Guiming stuck out his tongue and said: "You are still delicate, but you are really bold, and you actually collide with the emperor and Chen Xiang." ”

Xie Huchen said with a smile: "If I am not completely sure, how dare I make such a mistake, I look at the words and deeds of the saint, and I know that he has long been unwilling to be a powerful minister, this time he is just pushing the boat along the river, borrowing the hands of Chen Jing and us, except for Cao Xiangui." ”

"When will you learn to read faces, you can show me another day and see how big an official I can be. Gui Ming quipped.

After this incident, Xie Huchen's three words have spread throughout the government and the public, and when the dynasty confronts the emperor and the minister, the Chinese people in Beijing all regard it as an example, and for a while, young people with the ambition of serving the country are encouraged by it.

Emperor Ming also took this opportunity to release a group of civil and military officials of the Shaozhuang faction to go to the local area for training, hoping that some of them could become important weapons of the country in the future.

Recalling this period of the past, Fei Qing was full of praise for it.

"I'll give you a little pretension, if Master Xie doesn't mind, I'll call you Brother Xie Xian, okay." ”

"Lord Mengfei does not give up, and the lower officials are not very afraid. Xie Huchen replied modestly.

"Hey, Brother Xian is still so polite, you came to Yizhou this time, but what business is it?" Fei Qing asked.

"Then the lower official is presumptuous, Brother Fei, I came to Yizhou this time, I really have a business matter, and I need to find someone, this person's surname is Chen, and he once served as the master of money and grain in my Yi County. Xie Huchen said.

Who knew that after hearing this, Fei Qing frowned.

"What, Brother Fei, is there anything difficult about it?" Xie Huchen asked puzzled.

"Brother Xian doesn't know, yesterday Jiangzhou Yamen came to find this Master Chen, I remember that Lord Zhuang of Jiangzhou should be your boss, why do you all have to find this person. Fei Qing said.

Xie Huchen said in his heart that it was not good, could it be that someone had already taken the lead, and hurriedly asked: "Then they can find this Master Chen." ”

"Although Yizhou is not a big state capital, there are 100,000 households, and the surname Chen is a big surname in the local area. Fei Qing said.

Hearing Fei Qing say this, Xie Huchen was a little relieved, but since someone is also looking for Master Chen, it can be seen that this Master Chen is indeed a key person, and now he must find this person before others in order to take the initiative.

At this time, a small official suddenly came to report, saying that Master Chen's residence had been investigated.

This is really better than coming sooner, Xie Huchen couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

"Brother Fei, the younger brother has a reluctant request. Xie Huchen said.

"Brother Xian, please speak, as long as you can do it, you will not be disappointed. Fei Qing replied.

"Master Chen, this person is very important, I want to bother Brother Fei to suppress the news. Xie Huchen said.

Fei Qingxin comprehended, coupled with the fact that the people from Jiangzhou Mansion were very arrogant, he was already dissatisfied, so he simply made a favor and agreed to Xie Huchen.

"Little Huzi, come here. Fei Qing shouted.

I saw a messenger running in from outside the door and said, "My lord, what's the matter with the small one?" ”

"Brother Xian, this person is my cronies, he is a local snake, there is no place in Yizhou City that he is not familiar with, let him take you to find someone, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Fei Qing said.

"Great, little brother, thank you Brother Fei for making it complete. Xie Huchen thanked.

Without further ado, Xie Huchen and the others immediately bid farewell to Fei Qing and went straight to Master Chen's residence under the leadership of Xiaohuzi.

"You are Lord Xie, my family used to mention your deeds in front of us, and they were full of praise for you, and the little ones admired it very much, and now I finally see the real person. Xiaohuzi said.

"Did Master Fei mention me to you?" Xie Huchen asked.

"Yes, the little one has been following Master Fei for some time, and I have never seen him so happy as today, and I don't know that I think you two are old friends who have been reunited for a long time. Xiaohuzi replied.

"You know what, two adults are called instant acquaintance. Wang Da said poorly on the side.

Xiaohuzi took Xie Huchen and the three of them to walk through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the door of Master Chen's house after a while.

"My lord, this is the Master Chen you are looking for, Chen Sanshui's home. As he spoke, Xiaohuzi went up and knocked on the door, shouting for the door, and after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door.

Everyone was wondering, a peasant woman passed by, saw it and said, "Are you looking for Old Chen, he hasn't been back for a while, but he came back a while ago, took some things and hurried out, and then I never saw him again." ”

finally found Chen Sanshui's home, but unexpectedly, he pounced, and everyone couldn't help but be annoyed. Why did he run away? Was it because he was afraid of the account books? Are the things he took away just those dark accounts?

To know these answers, you can only find Chen Sanshui himself, but where to find him now?

"Eldest sister, do you know any relatives and friends Chen Sanshui?" Xie Huchen asked.

"He is not in Yizhou on weekdays, so I haven't heard of any relatives and friends in him, by the way, I remember once hearing him mention that he has a younger brother who is a hunter outside the city, and I don't know anything else. With that, the farmer departed.

"My lord, will he hide it with his brother?" said Wang Da.

"Quite possibly, but it's going to take a lot of effort to find it this way. Xie Huchen said.

"Back to the adults, the little one happens to know a few hunters, and in his spare time he will go with them to hunt pheasants and hares or something, I can take you to inquire. Xiaohuzi said.

"You kid has great powers, and he is everywhere. Xie Huchen smiled.

"Hey, it's alright. Xiaohuzi touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Everyone hurriedly rushed all the way out of the city to the house of Orion, who Xiaohuzi was familiar with.

"Brother Zong!" Xiao Huzi shouted at a big man from afar.

I saw a big man in a short shirt, with sleeves and arms exposed, and stockings over his knees, sharpening his broadsword in the courtyard, with a strong bow beside him and a tiger skin belt around his waist to prove his identity.

"Who else should I be, Huzi, don't you have to be on duty today, how can you have time to come to me?" Dahan's voice was full of anger.

"How can I be so free as you, I am here today on business, and I will inquire with you personally. Xiaohuzi confessed the matter to Dahan 1510.

The big man tilted his head, thought for a while, and said: "Don't say it, there are really a few hunters surnamed Chen outside this city, most of them are as young as you and me, but there is only one person, who is a little older, maybe the person you are looking for." ”

Xie Huchen and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked them repeatedly.

"Wait a minute, everyone, I'll pack up and take you to him, he has a strange personality and doesn't usually associate with outsiders. As he spoke, the big man hurriedly fetched a basin of water, washed his face, and led everyone to look for someone.

"My lord, this eldest brother Zong Chenghan is a bold person, and he is the head of the Orion outside the city, as long as this is the Orion's business, it is right to ask him. Xiaohuzi said.

"I said, seeing that this scholar brother is young but has an extraordinary temperament, he turned out to be an official, and he is clumsy, and I hope that adults will not care. Zong Chenghan hurriedly said.

"It's okay, Yizhou is not my jurisdiction, and this matter of finding people depends on the two of you. Xie Huchen said with a smile.

"My lord has a good character, and there are really not many good officials with such a temper as you now. Zong Chenghan said happily.

"Brother Zong, don't you know, this Lord Xie is the hero who brought down Cao Xiangui, the prefect of the county appointed by the emperor, this is the first time in my dynasty. Little Huzi shook his head and said, as if this was his own business.

When Zong Chenghan heard this, he was even more impressed by the five-body throw, and said: "This Cao Xiangui is notorious, we ordinary people have heard about it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be Lord Xie who knocked him down, I took it, I saw it today, I was fortunate to have three lives, hahaha." ”

This Jianghu person is straightforward, and there is no ambiguity when he speaks angrily, there is one thing to say, but this is just a boast, Xie Huchen is a little embarrassed.

Everyone walked for about half an hour, and finally saw a courtyard.

"My lord, the Orions outside the city live more scattered, and in front of this is Chen Orion's home, his name is Chen Sanmu, he has been doing this for a long time, and he shoots with a bow and arrow with great accuracy. Zong Chenghan said.

Hearing this name, Xie Huchen can basically be sure that this is most likely Chen Sanshui's younger brother, and it seems that this trip should not be in vain.

Most of the courtyards outside the city have no courtyard walls, and they are all fenced off with a few rooms to prevent birds and beasts.

Zong Chenghan walked outside the courtyard and shouted, "Brother Miki, I'm Chenghan, are you at home?"

There was no sound in the courtyard, and Zong Chenghan shouted a few more times, but there was still no response.

"Strange, did you go up to the mountains to hunt? Let's go in and wait for him. As soon as Zong Chenghan pushed the courtyard door, he led everyone in.

Xie Huchen was already in the yard, so he felt that something was wrong, he vaguely felt that there was a breath of people in this house, but he didn't know why, Zong Chenghan shouted but no one answered.

The natural alertness made Xie Huchen already on guard, but the others didn't notice that there was anyone in the house at all, and they each found a place to sit down in the courtyard.
