Panzhou, there is light rain today, bit by bit.

After this rain, the weather is about to get colder.

In front of a house at the end of Hanmo Street, a horse-drawn carriage was parked, and the mark of Shunfu Dart Bureau on the carriage was very eye-catching.

Inside the house, Su Ling sat with a woman.

The woman is about thirty years old, with a mature style and a lovely smile, and it is Zhao Sanye's wife Zhou. She was told by her husband to come here every few days to talk to Su Ling and do some homework, and occasionally they would go out shopping and buy some things together.

"Ah Ling, when he waits for Chen Gongzi to come back, you really have to let him buy a few slaves and maids, otherwise, the house will be too deserted. ”

Su Ling said: "He has to make up his mind about this matter...... Actually, I don't need to, I can do all the housework. ”

If you buy people and increase the population, the cost will increase greatly, but it is not easy to support.

Zhou glanced at her, he had something to say in his heart, but he didn't say it in the end, after all, it was a family matter, and he shouldn't talk too much, so he changed the topic and asked, "Ah Ling, are you going back to the village in the near future?"

Su Ling nodded: "Every month, I have to go back two or three times to take care of the ancestral house over there." ”

In Chenjia Village, the ancestral house has long been renovated and newly built, which is quite bright and is a big mansion. Usually, I asked a lonely old man in the village to help take care of it. However, Su Ling has time, and often goes back to clean up.

Zhou said: "Ah Ling, if there is nothing wrong, you should try not to go out of the city." ”

Su Ling asked, "What's wrong?"

"I heard my lord say that outside the city, it has not been peaceful recently, and there are often traveling merchants and hunters who have disappeared, and it is very troublesome. ”

"Ah, is there such a thing?"

Su Ling was surprised: "There was an accident, didn't anyone report to the official?"

"Someone must have reported to the official, but you know, the affairs of the official master are always procrastinating, and they can't be handled well for a while. ”

Zhou said.

Su Ling asked again: "Sister Zhou, the third master has great powers, he should know what happened, right?"

Zhou shook his head: "He rarely tells me these things. Anyway, in the past two months, the dart game has been up and down, and it has been very busy. He finally came back today, so he asked me to come to you, telling you that it was better for you to stay in the city than to go back to the country. ”

Su Ling nodded: "I'm worried about Sister Zhou, I'll pay attention." ”

Zhou said with a smile: "Counting the days, the test must be almost open that day." If Chen Gongzi is in high school, he can really glorify his ancestors and become a big official. ”

Su Ling smiled: "Thanks to Sister Zhou's auspicious words...... In fact, I'm still quite worried, it's been so long, and I haven't seen a letter back, so he can promise me that when I arrive in the capital, I'll write back to report my safety. ”

Zhou said: "You can rest assured, my lord said that Chen Gongzi is a person with great ability, and he will definitely arrive in the capital safely." ”

While he was talking, someone called outside the door, and when he came out, he saw that it was a post man, who had come to deliver a letter.

When he received the letter, Su Ling was so excited that he jumped up, and went back to the house with a cigarette, and wanted to open the letter as soon as possible.

Zhou shook his head with a smile, and instructed the maid next to him to take out twenty coins and reward them to the guard.

After receiving the reward, the postman left with a smile.

"Ah Ling, you read the letter slowly, I still have something at home, so I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you in a few days." ”

Zhou said.

"Good ......"

Su Ling didn't read the letter, and after sending her out, she came back to see it.

When he saw the familiar handwriting, Su Ling couldn't help it, and tears fell, falling on the letterhead, splashing the pen and ink.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it away, took a long breath, and calmed her agitated mood: "Brother Bujin, you are in the capital, eat every day, do you eat well......

She is simple-minded, and she doesn't care whether Chen Tang can go to high school or whether she can be named on the gold list, she only hopes that Chen Tang will be well fed, clothed, and healthy.

That's enough.

......

"Enough!"

Inside the Shunfu dart game, on the hall.

As soon as Zhao Sanye slapped the table, he retracted his strength, and the table was fine, only making a "pop" sound.

"Lao Liu, you go down first. ”

Wave your hand.

Lao Liu, the old dart master who was standing to report the situation, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words behind him.

Those are all bad words, and they can even be said to be bad news, every sentence is bloody, and it is really uncomfortable for people to listen to.

However, since something happened, it had to be dealt with.

Perhaps, there have been too many things recently, and the third master is under too much pressure, and he is in a bad mood.

Lao Liu sighed and retreated.

Zhao Sanye's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Zhan Yangchun, who was sitting on the left: "Brother Zhan, you heard everything." What started last month was really a matter of misfortune. In this situation, the dart business, I'm afraid it can't be done. ”

Last time, under Zhan Yangchun's warning, the Shunfu Dart Bureau had stopped for a while, but it only stopped for a few days, and when it was calm, it continued to open the door and start running.

In fact, the world is not very peaceful, the business of the dart board is greatly increased, whether it is to transport goods, or to protect personnel, the demand is quite strong, the market price, naturally the tide rises.

However, when the harshness of the external environment exceeds the scope of the dart game, every dart is released, it becomes a disaster.

The loss of dart goods, casualties, are unbearable losses.

Once or twice, it's acceptable, but after ten darts trips, there are six or seven accidents, which is simply catastrophic.

When he realized the seriousness of the problem, Zhao Sanye hurriedly stopped, closed the door for repair, and stopped the dart again, first to stop the loss.

Not only Shunfu Dart Bureau, but also the business of other industries, but all those involved in going far away, were hit hard and suffered heavy losses.

Some say that when night falls, the wilderness is lit with ghosts, some say that the scarecrow in the field suddenly has a spirit and walks on his own, and others say that he saw a murderous demon with a bloody mouth and hair like grass......

As for evil spirits, about demons, they have existed since ancient times. It's just that for hundreds of years, the Yin Dynasty has been at the peak of its national strength, and its luck is like a dragon, and many things have been hidden, hidden in the dark, hidden in the mountains, and even hidden underground......

The occasional appearance suddenly became the blueprint for all kinds of rumors and strange rumors.

But these are strange and distant, basically existing in rumors, and have nothing to do with real life.

So, when did things change?

People's hearts are not ancient, demons are infested, and evil is a disaster......

Many people don't understand it, and they don't know it.

"It's the rules that have been broken, it's the order that is collapsing!"

Zhan Yangchun said in a faint tone.

"Is there no way to redeem it? No, there must be a way, the imperial court, the yamen, they can't sit idly by. ”

Zhao Sanye looked impatient.

This time, he felt the arrival of a great crisis like never before. This crisis is likely to completely destroy the dart game he has worked so hard to manage.

Zhan Yangchun shook his head: "Third Master, the poor road persuades you, or find another way out as soon as possible." Once the general trend of the world is formed, it will be like a flash flood, with mud and sand falling down, and it is beyond the ability of human power to turn the tide. Now, we're just getting started. I said a long time ago that it was going to be messed up. And the real chaos should start from the beginning of the temple!"

As he spoke, his eyes flickered, and he thought of an old friend of a scholar, who had probably started the exam now.
