lady, please calm down

Chapter 104
Mao Shi.

The winter days are long.

Although the crowing of cocks has been heard, the sky is still dark.

"Sigh~"

When dressing, the clothes scratched the tattered back of the scratched man, and Chen Chu couldn't help taking a breath.

"Where are my boots?"

"Go and touch under the bed."

In the dark boudoir, Chen Chu and Cai Wei's whispered conversation sounded.

After a while of rustling, Chen Chu seemed to have found the boots. After putting them on in the dark, he whispered, "I'll leave before it's light."

"Well, don't take the stairs, the second brother's bedroom is next to the stairs, be careful not to be seen by him."

"Where do you go if you don't take the stairs?"

"Climb the window."

"."

At two o'clock.

In the room that returned to silence, there was another sound.

Taking advantage of the dim starlight, Cai Wei changed into a new dry bedding again, and then got into the bed again.

After the cold fabric came into contact with the skin, the cold person shivered.

Cai Wei hugged the pillow back into her arms, staring at the green screen window with a little skylight, and couldn't help but miss the small stove that was hot all over just now.
outside.

Chen Chu braved the morning chill, went to the barn and led Xiaohong to the gate of the front yard.

The benefactors who got up early in twos and threes had already left, and two servants stood at the door, carrying lanterns to help the guests illuminate.

Chen Chu pulled up the mink tail wind collar around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, and led Xiao Hong out quickly.

The two servants looked at the back of this guest who was hiding his head and showing his tail in surprise, and whispered, "Why does this guest officer look like Chen Dutou?"

"No way? After Miss Yunong moved away, I haven't seen Chen Dutou for a long time. Is it possible that she has a good friend again?"

"not sure"

time.

When Chen Chu returned to Luliuwei, he did not go home. Instead, he went to the office in the row of new houses opposite Cai's house, where the signboard of "Chairman of the Land Reclamation Group" was hung.

Not long after, Second Brother Peng, who was in charge of infrastructure work, heard that Chen Chu was back, and walked in with Yang Youtian, Yao Sanbian and others, planning to discuss with Chen Chu about the 'Nongken Group Staff Bathhouse'.

But Chen Chu's legs were on the desk, and he was already asleep.
Seeing this, several people retreated quietly.

After leaving the door, Uncle Yang sighed: "Peng Er, you need to help Brother Chu to share more, more than 100 people from the group and Zhuangzi are all on Brother Chu's shoulders, you can see how tired he is! Boots are on backwards."

"Yes." Yao Sanbian said with deep empathy.

What they don't know is that sometimes Brother Chu is not only responsible, but also other things.
As soon as the two elders finished explaining, Liu Erhu, the captain of the Luliuwei Defense Team, hurried over.

Seeing these inner elders, Liu Erhu first cupped his fists and saluted.

Compared with a few months ago, Liu Erhu at this time is obviously much more confident and calm.

"Er Hu, you are in a hurry, but something is wrong?" Second Brother Peng asked.

"Back to Brother Peng, last night there were two people with a foreign accent who were looking around our village, asking how much our vegetable field was harvested, and asking how much money was produced in the workshop, and they were detained by Siliang , I’ll ask the owner how to deal with it.”

Liu Erhu replied.

Peng Er had just accepted his uncles' orders to 'share the responsibilities of Brother Chu', so naturally he didn't need to report this trivial matter to the overworked Chen Chu.

He said: "You don't need to ask Brother Chu, he was too tired and just fell asleep. Just give those two foreigners a lesson and let them go."

In recent months, this kind of thing has happened to Luliuwei more often, and there is nothing wrong with Peng Erge's arrangement. Liu Erhu thought about it for a while, then turned and left.

Chen Chu slept until the afternoon.

After waking up, I sniffed myself and found that there was still some smell. I couldn't help thinking, when will this bathhouse be built.

Taking a bath in winter is too inconvenient.

Almost at the same time, Cai Wei also got up.

When Ru'er was called in, she felt a little strange.

In the past, even though San Niangzi felt a little unwell, she never slept through the afternoon.
Cai Hua sat on the bed in obscene clothes, wrapped in a quilt, covered her mouth and yawned, as if she hadn't slept enough, then pointed at the two sheets that were thrown on the ground in a mess, and said lazily, "Ru'er, help me burn the bed." Some water, I want to bathe myself. Then go and burn these two sheets."

"Oh" Ru'er obediently agreed, walked over to pick up the sheet and looked at it.

A hole the size of a washbasin was torn in the middle of one sheet, and the other sheet was wet.
"Third lady, this silk quilt is just sprinkled with some water, it can still be used after drying, what a pity to burn it," Ru'er said distressedly.

"If you are told to go, you can go! If you dare to talk again, I will tear your mouth!"

Cai Wei blushed inexplicably, and lost her temper inexplicably.
October 22.

It was originally a holiday, so Chen Chu and Da Lang got together in the office and asked the latter if there was any light kung fu method in the world, that is, the kind that can jump to the second floor in one jump, or jump off the second floor in one jump, without having to worry about it again. The method of climbing up and down the tree in embarrassment.

Da Lang said yes, but he hadn't seen it.

Well, listening to Jun's words, it is like Zhuang Zhou with purification.

At the end of the hour, Gou Sheng, who was sweating profusely, unexpectedly appeared in Luliuwei.

"The magistrate recruited me? Didn't you say that the supervisor will arrive at the beginning of next month?" Chen Chu was full of doubts after hearing Gou Sheng's words.

"Yes, everyone originally guessed that it will arrive early next month. Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng interrupted his official business in Tangzhou City yesterday and came to our Tongshan County overnight. He entered the city as soon as the city gate opened this morning. Without any news, the county government was caught off guard."

On the way to the county seat, Gou Sheng explained.

"Oh, what is the origin of Mr. Feng, the supervisor?" Chen Chu asked casually.

"Master Feng is Wailang, a member of the Zuo Cao Division of the Household Department. He is a senior official of the sixth rank. When Chen Dutou sees him later, he must speak carefully."

The county magistrate of Chixian County with a large number of household registrations in the Qi Dynasty was Zheng Qipin, the magistrate of Ji County near the suburbs of Beijing was Cong Qipin, and the magistrates of other counties were Zhengbapin.

Chen Jingyan belongs to "the rest", and he is two or three ranks behind Master Feng, and the latter is a capital official with the power to supervise the local area. No wonder the whole county attaches so much importance to it.

However, based on Chen Chu's thinking, this prison official came to Tongshan County only for money.

The size of Luliuxu is inconspicuous in Tongshan County. There are big families like Cai, Xu, and Ximen in front of them. Chen Chu just follows these big guys to collect his own share.

As long as you don't become a leader, you don't need to worry too much.

But after arriving at the county government office, he faintly felt something was wrong.

time.

The second hall of the county government.

"The person here is Chen Dutou?"

"It's the subordinate."

While Chen Chu was answering, he took a quick look.

In the head seat of the second hall, sat a [-]-something-year-old official in scarlet robes and short beard, and at the bottom sat two green-robed officials in their twenties.

The two green-robed officials were a little strange, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Before Chen Chu could think about why he was named, Lord Feng, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly sneered and said, "Du Chen is so majestic!"

Chen Chu raised his head in confusion, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Haha, let me ask you, do you know these two?" Master Feng pointed to the first two green-robed officials.

Are these two famous?
What works do they have?Did you shoot the rooftop swimming pool, or the wolf on the tram?

After Chen Chu looked it over carefully, he said honestly, "I don't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fair-skinned young man with dark circles under his eyes stood up and bowed to Master Feng, and said, "My lord, don't listen to this kid talking nonsense! Last night, he didn't say that."

"Well, Yuan Heng, let me tell my colleagues what happened yesterday." Master Feng lowered his eyes and took a sip of his tea.

"Back to your lord, last night."

In Yuan Heng's narration, he and Li Zhen, who were in charge of visiting envoys, went to Luliuxu for a thorough visit the evening before yesterday, but they were obstructed and abused by the villagers led by Chen Chu.

After the two revealed their identities, Chen Dutou not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but intensified the beating of the two visiting envoys.
Chen Chu was dumbfounded.

Grandma, I fought fiercely the night before to subdue the snake demon all night, and I didn't go to Zhuangzi at all. When did I stop them from cursing and beating them?
Want to add a crime!
All the officials in Tongshan County were silent for a while, beating a Shangguan is no small matter, but after all, they are both officials and officials in Tongshan, even if it is inconvenient for them to help each other, at least they will not do such things that add insult to injury.

Only Zhang Dianshi shook his head and sighed: "Chen Dutou, you did something wrong in this matter. The Shangguan came to Tongshan to represent the face of the Ministry of Households. In Dali, it represents the face of the imperial court and the Tian family. How can it be humiliated!"

Mr. Feng raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a deep voice after taking the words: "Chen Chu! Zhou Zhuofeng and Li Zhen are two visiting envoys who have been ordered to visit places. They have already revealed their identities to you, but you are still going to kill them, which shows how domineering you are on weekdays. Come on, first beat this wicked official with thirty sticks!"

But the officials standing around the second hall look at me and I look at you, and look at each other.

All the officials had a friendship of drinking and fighting together, and most of them went to Chen Chu's village as guests, and they got along very well with Chen Dutou on weekdays.

Although Master Feng is a big official, you still have to leave after all your prestige. If they go straight up and beat Chen Du on the head, how will they get along with each other in the future?

Seeing this, Mr. Feng couldn't help being furious. He made a big case, stared at the next Chen Jingyan and said: "What's wrong? Isn't this Tongshan County the land of my great Qi!"

Zhang Dianshi also yelled: "You soap clothes are fed by the imperial court's salary! The superior ordered, you dare to do this, but you still have the imperial court in your heart! Don't you think so!"

Chen Jingyan got up quickly, pleaded guilty to Mr. Feng, and then looked at Ximen Gong in embarrassment.

The meaning is obvious, Ximen Boss, Shangguan is furious now, so you have to save face and let your people do it.

Ximen Gong groaned for a moment, then bit the bullet and bowed: "Master Feng, is there some misunderstanding here?" After finishing speaking, Ximen Gong looked at Chen Chu and said, "Chen Dutou, since you said you didn't know two A visiting envoy, you must have not met them the night before? Where were you at that time? Who were you with?"

"."

Dude, I know you mean well, but... is that okay to say
"Ximen Yasi, are you trying to excuse Chen Dutou?" Zhang Dianshi said in a strange tone.

"Fuck your mother!"

Seeing that this classic history repeatedly fell into trouble, Ximen Gong cursed in a low voice.

"Who are you scolding?" Zhang Dianshi was angry.

"Curse the ants on the ground." Ximen Gong stared at the blue bricks on the ground and said.

His perfunctory appearance made Zhang Dianshi even angrier, "Fart! You are obviously scolding me!"

"Hey, some people love power, some people love money, and some people love to be scolded? Is this also on your own head?"

"Vulgar soap clothes!"

"Crafting villain!"

The superior Master Feng looked at the two people in the hall like shrews swearing at the street, and slammed the teacup on the table, and then the two glared at each other and shut up.

Afterwards, Lord Feng glanced at the officials with different expressions in the hall, and said calmly: "I am here this time only for tax matters. I have already heard that Tongshan County is rampant in smuggling and has no clear connection with the Southern Dynasty. I don't know if you can wait." Know this."

Facing the officials, the natural family of officials, Cai Yuan, who had raised his eyes to say something nice to Chen Chu, lowered his eyelids again after hearing Master Feng's words.
Xu Bang, Marquis of Yu Yu, quickly looked at Ximen Gong.

Smuggling is a cash cow for several families, and it is also a pain for several families.

Mr. Feng's subtext is very clear. There are some things, I know very well, if you give me face with knowledge and wit, let's eat meat and drink soup together, if you don't give me face, I will ruin your jobs.

In short, whether he threatened this matter or took advantage of it to make more money, anyway, today he wanted to show his prestige, and he wanted to use Chen Chu's ass to show his prestige!

If Mr. Feng really dared to destroy the jobs of several families, these families would not sit still, but for Chen Chu, it was definitely not worth it.

Ximen Gong was helpless, first made eye contact with Chen Chu, and then subtly winked at the stickman.

Immediately, several officials with sticks stepped forward, trying to push Chen Chu down.

Chen Chu looked around at the left and right people in the hall, and calmly said, "I'll do it myself."

A man with a stick and a soapy coat whispered to his ear: "Chen Dutou, don't worry, the brothers know what's in their hearts, just bear with it."

'pia~'

The sound of the water and fire stick hitting the buttocks sounded in the second hall.

Chen Chu, who looked deathly at home just a second ago, couldn't help baring his teeth.

Ye Niang, the last time I was spanked was when I was eight years old, I used a firecracker to blow up Uncle Wang who was in the dry toilet.
At that time, he was still a naive Flammulina velutipes, neither knew Fukada nor Momano.

The night before, I just stole someone once, will I be punished today?
Is this what makes you happy in love and frustrated in your career?
In the continuous voice, Lord Feng said leisurely: "My official has found out that there are several workshops under Chen Chu's name, and the monthly profit is more than tens of thousands, but he has not paid any money. It is recorded in "Qi Xing Tong": Anyone who evades taxes and taxes will be given a staff of one hundred for ten guan, and more than a hundred guan will be abandoned in the market. It stands to reason that Chen Chu's crime should be punished."

All the officials in the hall were terrified
Even Chen Chu who was being beaten suddenly raised his head.

Who handed over this business tax?Mr. Feng, is this trying to scare the chickens and monkeys?
Afterwards, Master Feng laughed again, "Whether Chen Dutou should be killed or not should be decided by his superiors, but how to write this official memorial table still needs to be carefully considered."

It seems that Master Feng also knows not to force too much.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Feng has a big appetite
outside.

Outside the courtyard gate, Zhang Wencai, who was spying on the second hall, smiled from ear to ear with an excited expression on his face.

But Chen Donglin standing next to him stood with his hands behind his back, with a heroic spirit of "the world's heroes are nothing but me, but I am the only real talent" in his heart
　Thank you Qingfengqingfeng, my classmates for your reward~
