The fate of writers

Chapter 77 The situation is not good and we must be prepared
Zheng Xin's smile made Zhou Zhou and Jiang Ling a little confused, but they were not the ones who chased after everything to get to the bottom of it.

Zheng Xin laughed enough to continue the topic just now: "Qianli, you can't give up on Qingyun Road, why don't you work hard and finish writing the lower part together before the decree arrives? Although your Qingyun Road itself is correct enough, the decree Once you arrive, you will definitely not be free now."

"If you can't let it go, then just keep it and write. I'm not someone who doesn't know how to adapt. There must be a lower part, but it's impossible to rush the work. Sister-in-law, please forgive me." Jiang Ling was sitting across from me and could hear it. Zheng Xin's abacus was crackling.

At this time, the atmosphere downstairs was getting more and more tense. Everyone was blushing and gathered together, like a powder keg about to explode.

Someone slapped the table, and an inductive voice came out from the crowd: "The Du family first robbed the good people, and then united with other workshops to try to cover their mouths, and then what? Bribe the officials, and cover the sky with one hand in Yin County from now on? We can't keep silent any longer. .”

"Master Zeng is not that kind of person."

"As a family of officials and merchants, who knows if their upright appearance is just an act."

"Yes, they cannot be trusted."

"We went to surround them and act first."

"Correct!"

Zhou Zhou, who had been distracted downstairs, noticed the surging crowd downstairs and said quickly: "Look, is something not right?"

It turns out that there have been cases where one thing caused public outrage, but at most it was just a few words of curse with everyone, but unlike today, it seemed like he was serious about it.

Jiang Ling and Zheng Xin looked in the direction of Zhou Zhou's finger. Facing the leaving crowd, the waiter did not dare to say that he wanted to collect money. He just took a step back and found a place to hide, so as not to be squeezed and led away by the crowd. Walk.

There was a waiter carrying a plate of duck meat. Seeing this situation, he put the duck meat on the nearest table and left with a clear purpose. It seemed that he was going to find the shopkeeper.

"Stop looking, close the doors and windows." Zheng Xin stood up and reached out to close the window.

Jiang Ling also reacted and quickly followed the instructions, closing the door tightly and bolting it.Zhou Zhou moved the table over and held it against the door.
"I hope they won't affect innocent people." Jiang Ling was a little worried about his family.

"It will be fine, we have to protect ourselves." Zheng Xin comforted Jiang Ling by holding his hand.

"Knock down."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Jiang Ling's heart started beating violently, and Zheng Xin's hand holding Jiang Ling was also tight.

The three people in the room did not reply, and the people outside kept knocking.

Zhou Zhou nodded to the two of them, then bravely asked, "Who is it?"

The knocking on the door finally stopped, and a rough voice came: "Waiter, I'm here to deliver duck meat. Didn't you order the duck meat?"

Zhou Zhou looked at the two of them, Jiang Ling and Zheng Xin both shook their heads.

"Oh, it's us, but we are full and don't want to waste it. You can take it and share it with others. Don't worry, the money will be paid." Zhou Zhou tried hard to restrain the shaking of his body to avoid vibrato.

Then there was another burst of chaotic footsteps. Someone seemed to be saying something outside the door, but the three people in the room couldn't hear it clearly.The three of them held their breath unconsciously, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Excuse me." It was the same rough voice.

There was no more knocking on the door, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who will be outside the door?" Zhou Zhou asked.

"I don't know, we haven't ordered duck meat anyway." Jiang Ling shook her head, her mind was almost blank and she couldn't think.

"Anyway, I've never seen such a Xiaoer." Zheng Xin's pun meant that Xiaoer would not speak in such a tone, and also meant that there was something wrong with the person outside the door just now.

"It should be safe now, um... temporarily." Zhou Zhou thought for a while and added two words. He didn't know if there would be a second wave.

Jiang Ling held a clean chopstick and rubbed his palms quickly. The warmth of his palms and the mechanical repetitive movements continued Jiang Ling's sense of security, and his blank brain began to function.

"It's a skilled gang, yes... Now it's up to Uncle Zeng Shi to react in time. They have to be stopped before they commit unforgivable mistakes. Now it's time to cool down their blood-congested heads that don't know how to think but only know blind obedience. "Jiang Ling still didn't express his doubts in the end. It's human nature to be afraid. In this case, it's better not to put pressure on others.All the same, there is nothing they can do but wait.

The location of Jiang's house is good, so the surging crowd will definitely pass by Jiang's house.

The people who had chatted with the neighbors at the door all returned home.The whole street was empty, but not silent.

They received the news early and closed the doors and windows one by one.

The Jiang family was no exception, even a yamen servant ran over to notify the Jiang family.

Everyone in the Jiang family gathered in a room. The inexperienced Ru Xiaoping was extremely nervous and walked around the room.An experienced person like Huang Yiping just silently picked up the kitchen knife and was ready to go.

Liu Zhi was also worried about Jiang Ling. He heard that the turmoil started from places where people gathered, such as various teahouses and taverns.

And Jiang Ling went out this morning and said that he was going to a teahouse in Beiqu Lane for an appointment. How is Jiang Ling now?

The sandalwood beads usually worn on the wrist were taken off by the willow branches and hung on the hands, one, two, three...it will be fine, it will be safe.

The Du family is also ready to fight, they are the center of the storm!

As soon as Mr. Du received the news, he arranged for his eldest son to hide and then informed the government.Then he began to curse those two anonymous people, as well as Guanhai Society.

As for why you scold Guanhaishe?That is of course because some details were disclosed in the anonymous article. Except for people from Guanhai Society, who else would know such details.

Mr. Du immediately targeted Jiang Ling. Did he really know that Jiang Ling had approved an anonymous vest to write an article accusing the Du family?He didn't know, he just hated Jiang Ling, and he wanted to put all kinds of blame on Jiang Ling immediately.

But this time Master Du really guessed right.

Mr. Du didn't reflect on it today. He just blamed Guanhaishe for being ignorant and insisting on keeping people whom the Du family hates, which was to go against the Du family.

Those who opposed the Du family did not end well.

One of the small walnuts in Master Du's hand fell out. He didn't pick it up, but threw the other one directly.

All the servants of the Du family took up weapons, some even had swords, and the entire Du family was ready for battle.

Mr. Du doesn't want to leave. He wants to see if those mud-legged people dare to break in, and whether they can get away after breaking in.Does the tiger not show off its power and treat it as a sick cat?

Master Du was obviously not aware of the seriousness of the problem at this time.
