Chapter 74 The Death of Tong Guan
Last but not least, Chen Qin is beautiful.

Her facial features are very three-dimensional. It is estimated that her mother's bloodline has more northern blood. This bloodline is very obvious in Chen Qin. Her three-dimensional facial features are very consistent with Chen Xun's aesthetics.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Chen Xun can keep her in the small courtyard. After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

We met every day before and didn't feel anything. Suddenly we didn't see each other for more than half a month. In addition, we faced other ordinary-looking women from Chenjiazhuang all day long, which highlighted how precious Chen Qin was.

Thinking about the beauties from the Western Regions recorded in history who would be presented as tribute to the emperor, you can understand how Chen Xun feels now.

When we arrived at the private port, we easily found Chen Liu's family. When we entered the shack, we found that Chen Liu was the only one at home, sorting out the accounts.

Because of Chen Liu's "surrender" behavior in handling the victim incident this time, Chen Xun arranged him to be the steward of the villagers of Yuanyu Island Village, which was regarded as his official reinstatement.However, compared to Baozheng, who had no money and no one to support him in the past, Chen Liu as a manager is now very different. At least his salary income is enough to support a large family.

"Lang Jun, you are here." Chen Liu thought Chen Xun was here to inspect the work.

As the head of Chenjiazhuang, Chen Xun rarely works at work and spends most of his working time wandering around. All the managers under him have long been accustomed to it, and Chen Liu is no exception even if he is new here.

"Come here and see if you're used to it, and if there's anything you need me to coordinate with," Chen Xun said. He couldn't just say that he was here to see Chen Qin.

"Everything is fine, except that there is a shortage of bricks, but the village is building a wall, and it's not easy for us to fight," Chen Liu replied.

For the new houses built here in Private Port, the exterior walls are made of blue bricks (red bricks require high temperature), the interior walls are made of adobe bricks, the roofs are made of straw mats, and the outer coverings are made of a thick layer of thatch.

It was impossible to burn bricks, and it was even more impossible to burn tiles, so the thatch roof could only be used temporarily.

"What about other aspects?" Chen Xun couldn't solve the problem of lack of bricks. Now that the manpower of Chenjiazhuang had been used to the limit, it was impossible to send people to the brick kilns.

"Other aspects can be overcome. The money and food provided by the village are sufficient. The big guys built their own houses and are very motivated." Chen Liu replied.

There are very few lazy people in this era, because those who are too lazy cannot live long, unlike later generations, who are too lazy to do nothing and are supported by the state.In later generations, starving to death was a big deal, but in this era, starving to death is too normal, so ordinary people are very diligent.

"That's good." Chen Xun didn't know what to talk about next. Chen Liu's work here was very simple and he didn't need any guidance from himself.

"What's the matter with Mr. Lang coming here this time?" Chen Liu asked when he saw that he was hesitant to speak.

"It's okay." Chen Xun denied it subconsciously at first. In two lifetimes, it was the first time he met a woman he liked and was within reach. He was completely inexperienced.Moreover, Chen Qin is still so young. If he continues to think about it, he wonders if he will be wiped out by the God of Harmony. "Chen Qin and Chen Zhuang are not at home?"

"Today is not a holiday. Chen Qin is in school and Chen Zhuang is building a house in Yushanfang." Chen Liu replied.

The resettlement site for Yushan villagers is called Yushanfang.

"I forgot, I only take a bath every once in a while." Chen Xun ended the conversation again.

"Have you been busy at home recently?" The awkward chat continued and was forced to continue.

No matter how dull Chen Liu was, he still felt something was wrong, and besides, he was definitely a smart person.

"I'm a little busy, but I'm already busy now. When Chen Qin comes back, I'll ask her to help you." As for whether the family is really busy, does it matter?
"Don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it when we're done." Chen Xun felt a little embarrassed. He was ashamed to be seen through, and he might be an "old man". This kind of shame made him want to run away immediately.

"I'm really not busy, I'll tell her about it today." Chen Liu had already confirmed that he understood it without any problem.

"Then you're busy, I'll leave first." Chen Xun couldn't stay any longer.

"Okay." Chen Liu stood up and said goodbye.

On the way back to the village, Chen Xun was secretly happy. As his parents had ordered the matchmaker, Chen Qin must have been able to come back with Chen Liu's persuasion, even if she felt uncomfortable.Every day, even if I can’t do anything, just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.

In this era, the only entertainment is to read books, which is too boring. With red sleeves, even reading will be more enjoyable.

"Lang Jun!" He was feeling very happy when a man ran over from the direction of Chenjiazhuang. Upon closer inspection, he saw that he was not the person in charge of the intelligence station whom he had just met yesterday.

What kind of urgent information is this?Can't wait to go back and talk about it.

"Lang Jun, the latest information is from Baochang County, Nanxiong Prefecture." The person in charge ran forward and handed the bamboo tube to Chen Xun.

Opening the wax seal and taking out the letter paper from the bamboo tube, it was the information that had just been sent this morning. It had only been three hours since the incident occurred.

Tong Guan died in Baochang County.

……

On the 28th, Mao time.

After staying up all night, Tong Guan finally left the Dayu Mountains before dawn and arrived at the north gate of Baochang County.

It was very evil yesterday. After being tied up by thieves, for more than two hours, there was not even a ghost on the official road.

After the bandits were killed and dispersed, they didn't know to come back to see and treat their wounded companions, and then left directly.A large number of wounded people were lying on the ground, howling and wailing, causing Tong Guan to suffer extremely.

Especially the cries of those who are dying are even more devastating.

It was not until Shenshi that a caravan came from the direction of Baochang County and rescued Tong Guan and his party, finally getting them out of trouble.

Tong Guan, who had regained his freedom, did not choose to return to Meiguan. Instead, he continued to move forward, following the direction in which the thieves evacuated. He drove all night and finally arrived in Baochang County at dawn.

He was in such a hurry because he wanted to catch the thieves before they finished disposing of the dirty silver.

Although he, Tong Guan, was demoted, his remaining power was still there. As long as he reached the city gate, he would naturally have a way to make this group of thieves pay the price.

After finding an inn and selling a piece of jade jewelry that was close to their bodies, everyone was finally able to rest and fill their hungry stomachs.

Resisting the sleepless night, Tong Guan immediately sent his attendants out to inquire about the news, to see if there was any trace of the silver cart in the surrounding area.They also sent people to the Shixing River Wharf in Baochang County to see if there were a large number of strangers boarding the boat here.

After the arrangements were made, Tong Guan lay down in the room to take a nap, filled with anger that kept him from falling asleep.

He secretly vowed to find this group of thieves, find out who was behind them, and let them know the consequences of offending him.

But no matter how angry he was, Tong Guan knew in his heart that anyone who could attack him must have understood that he had lost power and was not afraid of his own retaliation. It was estimated that even if he found the murderer behind the scenes, he would eventually let it go.

Getting your money back is the best outcome.

But it was this helplessness that made Tong Guan feel more depressed and angry.

A dragon swims in shallow water and is teased by a shrimp; a tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog!

The unknown road ahead and the current desolation are intertwined, making Tong Guan's heart even more tormented.
