Chapter 280: Stealing a life, the heart is not idle

(The house was demolished, all kinds of troubles, but fortunately, no one was arrested.) Uh, I'm not going to resist the law either!)

"Suddenly, I heard that the spring was strong and mountaineer, and I stole half a day of leisure. ”

Before the leisurely view, Chen Sanlang and the Taoist priest stood side by side, looking into the distance, if they felt something, they opened their mouths to read.

This is the tenth day since they returned to Jing County.

Xiaoyao Fudao smiled on his face, obviously the benefits obtained from the trip to Laoshan have been refined. But seeing behind him, a giant wolf crawled to watch the door, and the wolf demon's cultivation was clearly improved, his eyes were shining, and his spirituality was clear. And on a large locust tree next to it, there is a shadow standing quietly, but it is a goshawk.

This is the eagle demon who was included in the yin and yang gourd in Laoshan Silkworm poison, and was actually subdued by the Taoist, and I don't know what means were used, the body is much smaller, standing on the tree, together with the wolf demon, one up and down, responsible for guarding the door.

During the trip to Laoshan Mountain, the Taoist priest did not tell Chen Sanlang that this was his secret secret, and Chen Sanlang was too lazy to ask, anyway, the stronger the Taoist priest, it would be of great benefit to sit here.

The Taoist priest suddenly said: "Scholar, the troubled times have become a place, and it is difficult to find a quiet place." In the past ten days, this Dao has been practicing hard, coupled with his talent, and finally comprehended a powerful formation, which happened to be arranged in the village to replace the original. ”

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "You can arrange it." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, didn't say much, waved his sleeves, and floated down the mountain.

Chen Sanlang didn't care how he cast the spell, and wanted to return to the county yamen.

The Shi Po army raised troops and conquered Yongzhou, and wherever the barbarian army went, the ghosts cried wolves and howled, and the lives were devastated, which caused panic in the hearts of the people. Yangzhou is certainly safe and sound under the control of Yuan Wenchang, but it is also people's hearts. Especially here in Jing County, which borders Yongzhou, many local wealthy families feel that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they secretly move to their homes and want to migrate to the capital.

After all, in people's minds, it is taken for granted that the Son of Heaven is at his feet. The safest place in the Imperial City.

Of course, this is only for the rich to move. The farthest place that the people of Pingtou have been to in their lives is the county seat, and it is impossible to leave their hometowns, unless the rebels really have to fight, they will choose to be displaced and go away.

It is only against this background that some people have bad intentions and take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, theft, robbery, and fighting...... All kinds of incidents. There was a lot of hustle and bustle.

Jing County has Zhou Fencao in charge, and has always dealt with it impartially and has strict public security. As a precautionary measure, a large number of government servants were recruited, and a team was formed to send them to the countryside to maintain law and order.

However, if you recruit people, you have to raise people, and these additional arrangements can not be ignored by the imperial court. You have to pay for the money and food of the people. In addition, due to the different status of Jing County, although Yuan Wenchang did not blatantly do it. But secretly, the bureaucrats of the Yangzhou team understood all kinds of rejection and suppression of Jing County.

So life in Jing County is quite difficult.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Zhou Fencao worries day and night, and her sideburns have gorgeous hair.

"Childe, this is a recent file. ”

On the yamen, Zhou Fencao handed over the documents.

Chen Sanlang sighed: "Mr. Zhou." You've worked hard. ”

Zhou Fencao replied: "We should spare no effort in the matter. ”

Chen Sanlang knew that he was upright, worried about the world, and belonged to a typical old-school Confucian figure, so he didn't say much. After reading the file, he said, "Sir, since I am the lord of a county, I naturally can't let Mr. pay all the expenses up and down......

But he knew that the county government had a difficult turnover, so Zhou Fencao used his own money and food to support, which cost a lot of money.

Zhou Fencao hurriedly said: "I have moved my family to Chenjiazhuang, how can the sons divide each other, such a rhetoric, is to see the outside, is it difficult for me to move out of Chenjiazhuang?"

Hearing this, Chen Sanlang smiled dumbly, but he was relieved.

I heard Zhou Fencao say: "The times are difficult, there are no eggs under the nest, Zhou is by no means such a pedantic person, compared to the national turmoil, how about the family loss?"

Chen Sanlang was silent, and then said: "Duke Zhou is righteous, and I regret that the court does not use it." ”

Zhou Fen Cao was silent.

Studying the scriptures and righteousness, taking the imperial examination, and once the title of the gold list, who doesn't want to be a member of the ranks and do a vigorous career?

However, the career is dangerous, the people's hearts are unpredictable, Zhou Fencao took office, and he wanted to work hard, but he offended the wealthy and powerful, and finally ended up resigning and returning to his hometown. Over the years, people have been warm and cold, and they have already tasted enough. In fact, he didn't have a chance to make a comeback, but Yuan Wenchang was bent on snagging him for his own use, so he used means to make Zhou Fencao depressed.

Zhou Fencao had already seen Yuan Wenchang's wolf ambitions, so he refused to give in.

Yuan Wenchang didn't want to fall into a notoriety that harmed the virtuous, and he didn't force it, so he only sent people to lobby as lobbyists from time to time, anyway, as long as Zhou Fencao stayed in Yangzhou, it was a bird in the cage and couldn't fly out of the palm of his hand.

I never thought that Zhou Fencao would deign to be Chen Sanlang's staff, but it was unexpected.

Although Chen Sanlang is a new champion, even in the middle of the three yuan, the limelight is strong, but after all, there is no foundation, and the starting point is very low. In time, it may be possible to grow. The problem is the current situation, where is the time and space for Chen Sanlang's rise.

Besides, Zhou Fencao is also a dignified Jinshi, a person who has been a big official, and his reputation is not low, so he is willing to bow to a junior and do things for him, which is really incomprehensible.

When the news reached Yangzhou, Yuan Wenchang sneered and said: "The old man is standing on the dangerous wall, and one day he will not die well." ”

I hated it in my heart. However, if you want to plan for big things, you don't want to dwell on this for a while.

The atmosphere in the yamen was a little depressed, and after a while, Zhou Fencao seemed to have calmed down, exhaled, and said slowly: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, and the son is not a thing in the pool, so he should take off." When the time comes, Zhou will have his own opportunity to display his ambitions. ”

He was able to say that, and he had apparently figured out some of the joints.

Chen Sanlang was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled: "If Zhou Gong says this, Chen will definitely live up to it." ”

Zhou Fencao also smiled, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Childe, I have an idea." ”

"Speak. ”

"Song Zhiyuan, the dean of Nanyang College, recently offended the powerful and wanted to leave the capital, and I wanted to ask him to move his family to Jing County. ”

Chen Sanlang was stunned and hurriedly asked what was going on.

It turned out that Song Zhiyuan wanted to do his studies at Nanyang College with peace of mind, ignore political affairs, and be a carefree scholar. This ideal can be realized in the peaceful years, but when the troubled times come, the tree wants to calm the wind and does not stop, where is it allowed?

Yuan Wenchang also wanted Song Zhiyuan to become an official.

On the intention, his own subordinates go down to do things. From time to time, the Nanyang general Yuan Huacheng was the younger brother of the Yuan Wenchang clan, because he was plotting for a big thing, he was ordered to lead an army of 10,000 to garrison Nanyang Mansion, serve as a general, and lead the army. Yuan Huacheng had a son, Yuan Junde, and took a fancy to Song Zhiyuan's daughter Song Kechan, so he came to propose marriage.

Song Zhiyuan knew that once he married the Yuan family, he would definitely get on the thief ship, and he would not want to.

The Yuan army refused to give up and was entangled, if it weren't for Song Zhiyuan's fame, he belonged to the Wang clan in Nanyang, and he had the heart to rob Song Kechan.

Song Zhiyuan was unbearable, so he had the idea of moving to the capital, he couldn't afford it, couldn't he hide?

Chen Sanlang thought for a while and asked, "Dean Song only wants to do academics, but I don't know if he will be willing to settle down in Jing County?"

Zhou Fencao smiled and said: "The most chaotic thing today is actually the capital, and when he goes to the capital, won't he fall into the whirlpool? As for doing studies, as long as the place is quiet, where can we not do it? At present, the village is running a school, and everything is waiting to be revitalized, and there is a lack of a host. Although Mr. Yang has a solid education, he is lacking after all. ”

These words hit Chen Sanlang's heart, and he said happily: "If this is the case, no matter how good it is, Mr. Lao will have a trip." After a pause: "I went to Nanyang here, I was afraid that it would not be safe, so I had to take someone there." Well, I'll go find someone first, and I'll leave tomorrow. ”

Zhou Fencao replied: "Okay." ”

After saying a few more words, Chen Sanlang left the county office, he already had a suitable candidate in his mind, and went straight to the martial arts hall to visit Xu Nianniang.

Today is different from the past, waiting for the door of the prospective father-in-law, naturally he can't be empty-handed, carrying meat in one hand and a pot of good wine in the other.

When he entered the door, he saw Xu Nianniang still wearing a white-washed green shirt, standing in the courtyard, with her hands behind her back, and she didn't know what she was thinking, he glanced at Chen Sanlang, and said in a flash: "Sanlang, are you here to propose wine and meat? ”

Xu Jun heard the voice, heard his father's words, couldn't help but have a plush on his face, looked at Chen Sanlang, and smiled slightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, forgetting for a moment. (To be continued......)
