Chapter 41: The Twin Heroes Work Hard
It turned out that the troubles mentioned by Ye Feng were actually related to the Qincha who came to Jingzhou Mansion to supervise the relief, but he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Ahem! Poor people in Jingzhou, not to mention the suffering of famine, but also met a black-hearted fart to give relief to Qincha, not only did not open a warehouse to release grain and relieve the people, but also made people wantonly rob the woman of a good family to satisfy his beastly desire." Fortunately, I arrived here in time, killed those dog minions, and saved the women who were robbed, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
After hearing this, Chu Ping suddenly felt angry at the bullfight, his chest was full of anger, and he slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Damn! What a shameless dog official, I really can't wait to go to the post house immediately and cut off his dog head with a sword!
Chu Ping shouted like this, which immediately attracted the guests of the four seats, and they all turned their heads to look at him, Chu Ping realized that he was a little out of shape, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, quietly leaned into Ye Feng's ear, and said softly: "Brother Ye, this place is too eye-catching, I think we should find another secluded place, right?"
"That's fine!" Ye Feng nodded in response, and then, the innkeeper moved the wine and food to a quiet single room, and the three of them sat down around the table in turn, Chu Ping said to Ye Feng: "Brother Ye, if you didn't guess wrong, Brother Ye, at this moment, you must be worried about whether you should go with a knife to kill that dog official, right?"
Ye Feng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Yes, those who know me, Brother Mo Ruochu also! I don't know if Brother Chu thinks I should go?"
Chu Ping waved his hand and said, "No, now we should focus on the overall situation, and we should not focus on this dog official." β
After hearing this, Ye Feng seemed to have an understanding, and said: "Brother Chu is right! Right now, you and I should work together to relieve the suffering of the people on this side as the first priority, as for whether to kill this dog official and eliminate harm for the people, I think it is better to leave it to the future to make a decision, and it is indeed not too late!"
"That's good!" Chu Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Ye's words are indeed exactly what he thinks in his heart. Since you and I have reached an agreement in our hearts, it is better to make a good investigation in the first place, collect relevant evidence of this dog official's corruption and dereliction of duty, and harm to the people, and when the evidence is collected, we will go to the capital together and go to the Gyeonggi Office to expose the crime of this dog official, so that not only can the dog official be punished by the law of the country, so that he can get the end he deserves, but also can also urgently relieve the suffering of the people of Jingzhou, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!"
Ye Feng said worriedly: "Brother Chu's idea is certainly good, but when it is really implemented, I am afraid it may not work!"
Chu Ping was puzzled and asked, "Why did Brother Ye say this? Could it be that there is something in the way?"
"That's good!" Ye Feng nodded again and again and said, "Brother Chu, if you know what the identity of the Qin Relief Mission is, you will know what is powerful about it." β
Chu Ping didn't think so, and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of identity he is, the so-called prince violates the law, and he is guilty of the same crime as the common people! No matter who he is, as long as he violates the law of the country, he must be punished by the law of the country." β
Seeing that Chu Ping was so naΓ―ve, Shui Lingyu wanted to laugh in her heart, so she quietly approached him and said, "Brother Chu Ping, it's not that I deliberately want to pour cold water on you, I think you think about the things in this world is too simple, right? In front of the law, everyone is equal, this is just a good wish in your heart! Brother Chu Ping, in this world, how many of those officials and lords who eat official food can sincerely think about the common people, and how many are not afraid of the powerful? If you want to count on them to uphold justice for the people of Jingzhou, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will only be a bamboo basket for water!"
Chu Ping patted Shui Lingyu's hand and said with a smile: "Lingyu, don't you think about things so pessimistically, okay? At least today's saint, he is a virtuous lord and a wise man! If it really doesn't work, can't we still go directly to heaven about all the sufferings suffered by the people of Jingzhou?"
Shui Lingyu couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, Brother Chu Ping, are you already ready to break into the palace and face the saint to admonish?"
After hearing this, Chu Ping smiled helplessly and said, "Lingyu, don't worry, I won't do this unless I have to!"
After hearing this, Shui Lingyu suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, regardless of Ye Feng's presence, she suddenly threw herself into Chu Ping's arms, hugged him tightly, and said: "Brother Chu Ping, no matter what, I don't want you to do this, trespassing on the forbidden garden of the palace, how dangerous it is, if you don't do it, you will be killed." Brother Chu Ping, I really don't want to lose you. So, Brother Chu Ping, otherwise, let's not care about the idle things here, let's leave Jingzhou together, okay?"
Chu Ping couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng lightly, Ye Feng felt a little uncomfortable, smiled at Chu Ping, and dodged it with interest.
When Ye Feng left, Chu Ping stretched out his arms, hugged Shui Lingyu, and said with relief: "Lingyu, don't worry, I won't act rashly, and I won't be in any danger, so, Lingyu, you don't need to worry about me so much at all." β
Shui Lingyu still hugged him and said, "How can I not worry?Brother Chu Ping, in this world, I only have a relative like you, not to mention that you are my favorite person Shui Lingyu in this life, no matter what, I don't want you to encounter any danger."
Brother Chu Ping, since you must solve problems for the people of Jingzhou, I also know that I can't stop you, but you must promise me that no matter what the circumstances, you must ensure your own safety, okay?"
Chu Ping nodded hurriedly and promised, "Okay! I promise you! Lingyu, you should be relieved now?"
Shui Lingyu just nodded slightly, but she was still in Chu Ping's arms, unwilling to let go of her hand at all. Chu Ping breathed a sigh of relief rather helplessly, and gently stroked her back, as if taking care of a young child, clinging to her, spoiling her, and loving her!
I don't know how long it has been, Shui Lingyu was finally willing to crawl out of Chu Ping's arms, Chu Ping leaned down, kissed her lips, looked at her beautiful face, smiled slightly, and walked out of the room hand in hand to invite Ye Feng.
After searching for most of the day, he never found any trace of Ye Feng, and in desperation, he had to inquire with the innkeeper, only to know that Ye Feng had been away from the inn for a long time. If it was too late today, Chu Ping couldn't figure out where Ye Feng would go, and he couldn't help but feel worried about him, so he took Shui Lingyu and left the Cyclamen Inn for the time being, and went to find Ye Feng's traces.
Less than two miles away from the cyclamen, I saw Ye Feng sitting alone on a bench, leisurely admiring the starry sky and the bright moon.
Chu Ping took Shui Lingyu's hand and walked slowly towards him. When he came closer, Chu Ping deliberately teased: "Brother Ye, it's not too early, why did you come here alone, just to enjoy the moon? Brother Ye, you don't plan to go back to the inn again? Brother Ye, you have caused me and Lingyu to be really easy to find all the way!"
Brother Ye hurriedly got up, saluted Chu Ping, and apologized: "I'm really embarrassed, Brother Chu! The younger brother only felt that in that room, he was really a little aggrieved and panicked, so he deliberately ran out to breathe, never thought that when he saw this moonlight so wonderful, he didn't feel that he only cared about enjoying the scenery, but he forgot the time, which hurt you, Brother Chu, and worried about the little brother, and I hope Brother Chu will forgive me!"
Chu Ping knew that this was Ye Feng's polite words, obviously to facilitate his coexistence with Shui Lingyu, so he deliberately hid out, but now he wronged himself, which made Chu Ping feel a little guilty, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Brother Ye is really a gentleman! Brother Ye, do you think I really don't know, Brother Ye, why did you come here? Brother Ye, you obviously wanted to make it convenient for the two of you, so you deliberately hid out, I don't know if it is or not?"
After hearing this, Ye Feng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Since Brother Chu already understands, the junior brother doesn't dare to hide it anymore. That's right, how could the younger brother stay there and disturb the two of you in that situation? So, I had to hide!"
Chu Ping clasped his hands into fists and thanked Ye Feng: "In this way, I have thanked Brother Ye here! Brother Ye, if it is getting dark today, according to my opinion, Brother Ye, you should hurry back to the inn to rest?"
"That's fine! Brother Chu, Miss Lingyu, you two should go back and rest early. The three of them were courteous to each other, and they returned to the Cyclamen Inn together, and each went back to his room to rest.
At dawn the next day, Shui Lingyu got up early, freshened up, walked out of the room, came to Chu Ping's door, and knocked softly: "Brother Chu Ping! Brother Chu Ping, have you gotten up?"
It didn't take much time, Chu Ping opened the door slowly, faced Shui Lingyu's face, and said with a smile: "Lingyu, why did you get up so early? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shui Lingyu stretched out her hand, took Chu Ping's hand, stood on tiptoe, kissed his lips, smiled shyly, and said softly: "Brother Chu Ping, don't worry, I slept soundly last night, but I'm a person who has always been used to getting up early." When I get up, I want to come and see you if there's anything I need help with?"
Chu Ping stretched out his hand, stroked her face, and said with a smile: "Lingyu, I didn't expect you to be so caring, if you become my Chu Ping's wife in the future, then wouldn't I be so happy that I can't find the north?"
Hearing him say this, Shui Lingyu's face suddenly turned red with shame, so ashamed that she involuntarily lowered her head, and while gently fiddling with her skirt, she whispered softly: "Brother Chu Ping, why do you want to say such things in front of others? β
Chu Ping held her fragrant shoulder and said, "Okay, Lingyu, I won't tease you, you go back to the room and wait for me first, and when I finish washing, let's go downstairs and have breakfast together, okay?"
Shui Lingyu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Chu Ping!" kissed his lips again and turned back to the room. When I returned to the room, I sat on the bed, and I couldn't stop laughing secretly, thinking: "Brother Chu Ping, he actually said to me that he wanted me to be his wife, it's so embarrassing!"
After Chu Ping finished washing, knocked on Shui Lingyu's door, the two walked downstairs hand in hand, and saw that Ye Feng was already sitting there, sipping tea and eating breakfast, but also very leisurely.
Chu Ping took Shui Lingyu's hand, came to his approach, and said, "Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to get up so early! I don't know when Brother Ye came downstairs?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, in fact, I didn't get up as early as the two of you, but when I walked out of the room, the two of you only cared about Qingqing and me, but they didn't notice me walking out of the room at all, let alone me walking down the stairs." β
Hearing him say this, Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu suddenly felt ashamed, just one person blushed, but now it has become a pair of red faces, the two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled secretly, quickly stood up, and said, "Okay, now that I'm full of food and drink, I might as well go out for a walk first, and I won't bother the two of you here!" When Ye Feng left, Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu sat down next to each other, beckoned the hall official to come, asked him to add some breakfast and tea for himself, and the two of them ate together.
After a while, the two of them ate and drank enough, walked out of the inn hand in hand, and came to the street to look for Ye Feng, and saw Ye Feng sitting alone in a corner and laughed secretly, quietly walked over, and asked him: "Dare to ask Brother Ye, I don't know why you are secretly laughing here, Brother Ye?"
Ye Feng hurriedly stood up, rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh! That's right, just now I saw a juggler, walking past here, I thought it was very interesting, so I couldn't help but laugh secretly!"
Although Chu Ping knew the reason for this, he was embarrassed to say it to his face, after all, it had something to do with him, so he had to "pretend to be deaf and dumb" and said: "Oh......! So that's the case! Brother Ye, now that the excitement has passed, I don't know what Brother Ye plans to do next?"
Ye Feng knew the meaning of his words, and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, the younger brother has never liked to deal with the government, it's better to do this, you and I are divided into two ways, I will go to the market to find out the news, and you will go to meet Jingzhou Taishou Cui Fengping, and tell Cui Taishou what the Liberation Qin sent to do after arriving here, and then, you and I will make a plan, what do you think?"
Chu Ping listened, nodded, and said, "That's fine!Brother Ye, without further ado, you and I will act separately?"
"Okay!" Ye Feng nodded and said.
I don't know how the two heroes will overthrow the relief of Qincha and relieve the suffering of Jingzhou's 100 rescues?
