Chapter 111

On the third day of November, in the morning.

In order to prevent rogues and idlers from making troubles after the fire, the county seat of Tongshan County was closed under martial law.

time.

The five sworn brothers braved the snow and went to the county government office.

After dismissing all the servant girls, a small meeting was held in the second hall of the county government office.

As one of the officials, Chen Jingyan probably guessed the reaction that Shangfeng should have next, "After all, Feng Changning represented the household department and the imperial court, even if he died unexpectedly, it would not be the end of it. Someone from Henan Road and the Ministry of Household Affairs should come down to investigate this matter, and it will take three to five days at the earliest, and half a month at the slowest."

Several people met here, of course, to unify the caliber. Last night, the charcoal basin ignited the furniture. Mr. Feng and the others were drunk, and they were buried in the flames before they could react.

Yesterday, Mr. Feng was invited by Zhang Dianshi, and the former accompanied him to see it with his own eyes.

At this moment, even Zhang Dianshi also lost his life. It really looks like an accident.

"No matter what, we need to be careful when dealing with people from above and below." Chen Jingyan concluded.

This is the advantage of pulling Chen Jingyan into the water. The investigators composed of officials are inherently suspicious of what the subordinates say, and it is undoubtedly easier for Chen Jingyan to gain their trust.

After agreeing on various countermeasures, Chen Jingyan, who had been thrilled all night, yawned.

Several people left, but Chen Chu deliberately delayed a few steps, and took the opportunity to ask Chen Jingyan who was seeing them off in a low voice: "Master Xian, please let me know after the statistics of the losses of the disaster-stricken people next to Caiwei Pavilion are available."

Chen Jingyan was slightly astonished, stopped at the spot and took a serious look, and said: "Chen Du has a heart."

There is only one reason for Chen Chu to talk about this matter in a good manner, and that is to give some compensation to the neighbors of Caiwei Pavilion who were affected by Chiyu.

"After all, it was because of me," Chen Chu sighed.

"Chen Dutou really has the heart of a child. If this matter can be exposed smoothly, I will serve wine at home, and I invite Dutouxian and his wife to come to the house to talk about it."

"Xie Xianzun."

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite. Brother Yu heard that Dutou's ancestors came from the Chen family of Yingchuan. We have the same roots. In the future, you and I need to take care of each other."

"The county is honored but has a mission, and the subordinates are obliged to do so!"

"Hey, is it still called the county lord?"

"Er brother."

Chen Jingyan still has nearly a year to relocate. During this period, he has to deal with several "brothers and younger brothers".

Don't look at him as the magistrate of a county in name, but he is the weakest one in public, so he naturally wants to win over an ally.

And Chen Chu, who is young and has a shallow foundation, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
It was almost noon when we left the Yamen.

The sky is leaden gray, and large flakes of snow are falling, and the snow on the street is more than an inch deep.

The four of them looked up at the sky at the same time, feeling as if they were separated from each other.

"Last night's facts were unavoidable, brothers forgive me." Chen Chu apologized to the three of them.

They are all adults, but they were annoyed at Chen Chu's two-shot behavior last night, but now that they are bound on the same boat, there is no need to say any more angry words.

Ximen Gong sighed and bowed his hands in return.

Xu Bang reluctantly cupped his hands.

Only Cai Yuan, who suffered the most, had a dark face, snorted coldly, and walked away.

He is naturally qualified to be arrogant, after all, he is Chen Chu's sworn brother and 'Master Yue Zhang'.
early noon.

Chen Chu returned to the scorched Caiwei Pavilion, where many people were still rummaging through the rubble for the bodies of Mr. Feng and others.

The fire was unexpectedly violent.

Even if the body can be found, it is already a small lump of coke.

Don't talk about distinguishing who is Mr. Feng, I'm afraid it's hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman.

It was snowing heavily.

In order not to attract attention, Da Baojian and Peng Er had been scattered in restaurants and inns in the city to wait. Only Da Lang and his eldest son who came to "cook leftovers" last night remained at the scene.

Cai Wei and Yunong also stayed here.

After staying outdoors for four or five hours, both of them were very cold.

Chen Chu untied the cloak and helped Yunong put it on, and took out a mink tail wind collar from his arms and handed it to Cai Wei.

The wind collar is similar to the scarf of later generations.

"Good you little dog! I also said that after that night, my wind collar disappeared, so you stole it!" Cai Wei took it and took a closer look, and couldn't help cursing.

Nonsense, Chen Chu got more than a dozen marks on his neck that night, so he needed something to cover it up.

On the side, Yu Nong, whose lips were blue and cold, found Hua Dian. "After that night"? ? ?
Before he could say a few words, Wu Kui walked over from a distance and shouted, "Brother Chu, the city gate is open, we can go back."

"it is good."

Chen Chu responded. Seeing that Cai Wei was still holding the wind collar in his hand, he couldn't help reaching out to help her tie it around her neck, and said, "Come with me."

Cai Wei was absent-minded for a moment, but then she raised her head and smiled with her long and narrow eyes, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I will be punished when I go home?"

"Yes." Chen Chu said frankly.

"You still have some conscience, don't worry, my father won't do anything to me, at worst, I will be locked up in the ancestral hall for a few days." Cai Wei looked around, and the once elegant and luxurious Caiwei Pavilion was only left with ruins, broken bricks and rubble, and his heart was natural Feeling a little sad, he said: "And I said, the day I went to your house, I needed eight sedan chairs to pick me up! Now what's the matter if I go with you? Go to your house to be a kid for you?"

"Do we have to divide them into different sizes? Maybe. We can also explore a brand new relationship."

"scoff~"

Cai Hua's eyes turned white, and she suddenly bent down to pick up two broken bricks and put them under her feet. In this way, the height difference of more than ten centimeters between the two was erased.

Then, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Chen Chu's neck, and kissed his lips that were white with cold.
Miss, are you serious?

No wonder Chen Chu was stunned for a moment.

Now is not the future generations who don't care about kissing in the street. At this time, in the messy front yard of Caiwei Pavilion, there are at least a hundred people who are looking for people, Zaiyi, signing troops, and minzhuang organized by the government to clean up.

Among them are many Cai family members, such as cousin Cai Si and second brother Cai Kun are here.
After the shock, Chen Chu didn't care about Sanqi 27
Other girls are not afraid, but if he is afraid, he would be too cowardly.

The first to find the two hugging and bickering in broad daylight was naturally Yunong who was the closest.

"." Yu Nong was dazed for a while with his chubby mouth open before he realized it. He quickly reached out and pulled the belt around Cai Hua's waist. He didn't dare to use too much force, and at the same time he was still muttering in a low voice, "Third Lady, what are you doing, please shut up, Third Lady"

Cai Wei, who was focused on fighting with Chen Chu, didn't pay any attention at all, and directly slapped Yunong's small hand with a backhand
It still hurts.

Yu Nong still wanted to ask the third lady to show mercy, but she didn't dare to do it. She could only stand aside in embarrassment, like a cheerleader cheering for the two of them.

A little further away, Xu Zhiyuan, who came to help on his own initiative, also saw this scene. He couldn't help being shocked, and quickly kicked Cai Si, who was looking for gold and silver in the rubble.

"A Si! Look, look, the principal and your cousin are hooked!"

"Fuck! The two of you are playing for real!"

On the other side, Da Lang and Kui Geer watched with gusto.

The eldest son, with a blushing face and lowered head, stood there stupidly, drawing circles on the snow with his right foot.

"Yao Meili, what's wrong with you?" Da Lang asked strangely.

Hearing the words, the eldest son raised his hands to cover his face, glanced at Chen Chu from between his fingers, and said coyly, "I'm so ashamed."

It's two quarters.

Chen Chu and the others left Caiwei Pavilion and headed out of the city against the heavy snow.

Regardless of the wind and snow blowing against her face, Cai Wei sat on a stone leisurely with her legs crossed.

Cai Kun next to him was sullen, "Hua'er, I won't talk about what you guys are doing in private! Don't you think it's embarrassing to be in front of so many people just now!"

"What's so embarrassing about being in love with a man and a woman? Hee hee, I just want everyone in Tongshan County to know that I am in love with him."

mid noon.

The outside of the city is already covered with snow and covered in silver.

Chen Chu, Da Lang and others, Peng Er and Da Baojian met at the foot of Shahu Gang in the south of the city.

A group of people headed southward in a mighty way.

When he came to the north yesterday, not to mention Da Lang and the eldest son, even Chen Chu felt a little uneasy, maybe only Da Baojian, who always had the same expression, was calm in his heart.

At this time, returning to the south, all the events of last night were vividly remembered, and there was a surge of pride in everyone's hearts.

Even in the wind and snow, it is hard to quell the agitation in his chest. Chen Chu couldn't help but chanted a few words, "Kill a person in ten steps, and you won't stay for a thousand miles. When it's done, brush your clothes and hide your body and name."

"Brother Chu, you wrote this poem well!"

Zhou Liang, who recently got to know a few characters through the night literacy class of Lanxiang Academy, felt that he was also considered a part of the scholars, and couldn't help but praise him a few words.

"Brother Liang, thank you. But this is written by Li Bai"

Chen Chu led the horse and laughed, and Yunong on the horse also giggled.

If you want to say whose mood has changed the most between yesterday and today, it must be Dang Yunong.

Staying alone in Ningyu Pavilion last night, she was terrified, but the young master told her to trust him.

she believed it
In fact, Yu Nong still doesn't know what happened last night, all he knows is that he doesn't have to be sent away.

But she could guess that the young master must have done a lot of things last night. She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't bother to think about it.

"Young master, let me sing you the Aolai ditty you taught me."

"Okay."

"Yeah." Yunong untied Chen Chu's cloak and handed it back, revealing the big red feather veil cloak that Cai Hua gave her, then cleared her throat, and said, "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows rice flowers on both banks."

This Aolai ditty is the school song of Lanxiang Academy, and every child can sing it.

After a long time, people like Da Lang can hum along a few words.

Not long after, the crisp and sweet girl sang solo, which turned into a ragged chorus.

Not early.

Luliuxu is much quieter than before.

Today, schools and workshops are closed.

All the old, young, women and children in the fleeing village returned to the mountain. The villager Liu Erhu and Da Baojian, who ate free food, went out with his boss yesterday and have not returned yet.

Liu Daniu, who stayed in the village, led the joint defense team to inspect the village over and over again in the heavy snow.

In short, there is a different tension in the village.

Cai Zhai entered the main hall.

The noisy classroom in the past is now quiet.

The cat sat alone on a big chair, listening to the howling wind outside the window, with slightly droopy eyelids, staring at the ground in silence.

At this time, she was the only villager from the former escaped village who stayed in Luliuxu.

Sitting withered since last night.

When the sky was twilight, the cat was looking forward to it, hoping that it was almost time for the officials to return.

At that time, the sky was bright, and the cat became nervous.

At noon, no one came back, and the cat's mood became anxious and fearful.

Now, she's calmed down
Left and right are nothing but life and death, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Cat clenched the small screwdriver in his hand.

Aunt Yang has no daughter under her knees, so she should treat Hutou as her own.

Thinking of this, Mao'er couldn't help but glanced in the direction of Qifengling in the southwest.

But the sight was blocked by the heavy snow outside the window.

The cat hates the weather at this time, because the snow will always remind her of some bad things.
In a trance, the cat seemed to hear a faint singing.

Quickly listen carefully.
After reconfirmation, Maoer stood up, but fell down while walking due to long-term sitting.

But he couldn't feel the pain, so he got up and rushed to the gate of the courtyard.

Just looking at the entrance of the village, the cat couldn't stop crying.

"Good mountains, good waters, good places, all roads are wide open, good wine for friends, if the jackal comes, there are shotguns to greet it"

Amidst the man's rough singing, Yunong's bright red cloak fluttered against the wind and snow.

Like an unyielding flag.
 Thanks, 397285, the reward from my classmates~
