Douluo's Drunk Red Dust

"Although we shouldn't say thank you to each other, I still want to thank you for Nan Nan's matter, Zui'er."

Only Jiang Mu and Zui Hongchen were left in the huge reception room. The others went to change clothes and wash up. Next, they would live in Dingling Mansion and enjoy their vacation for more than a month.

"You really shouldn't say thank you, I like Nan Nan, in that way." Zui Hongchen said without hesitation, "Nan Nan and I have known each other since we were young, how can our relationship be summed up in one or two sentences? "

"Haha, it's a blessing for Nannan and me to know you."

Jiang's mother covered her mouth and smiled, "But being too popular can also be a bit distressing... Compared to this, Auntie hopes you won't be too tired. It would be bad if you collapse from exhaustion."

She stroked Zui Hongchen's brow with her fingers and said distressedly, "Nannan may not say it, but she must be worried in her heart."

Zui Hongchen smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"Take a good rest at home for more than a month. Don't stay at home every day. Go out and move around more."

"Yes, Auntie."

Jiang's mother finished admonishing her like an ordinary mother and left with a smile. Zui Hongchen leaned on the Taishi chair and rubbed the forehead that had been touched just now, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Walking out of the reception room, he nodded to Wang Laoshi outside the door.

After putting on a new piece of clothing under the service of the servant, Zui Hongchen sat in the study and stretched out, and honestly quickly handed him tea.

"Honestly, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard to do things for the young master." Wang Laoshi lowered his head and said.

Zui Hongchen hummed, "Has anything big happened in Dingling City recently?"

"Yes." Wang Laoshi stood up straight immediately. As the chief steward of Dingling Mansion, he was not only responsible for the management of Dingling Mansion, he was also responsible for collecting intelligence and seeking information.

"The county magistrates of Dingling City were replaced by two while the young master was away, and the governor of Nanyangzhou was also replaced by one. This person had an intersection with the young master."

"Oh, who is it?"

The county magistrate is the chief executive of a county. Although Dingling City is called a city, the inner city plus the continuous farms in the outer city can indeed be defined as a county.Dingling City is located in Nanyang Prefecture of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the highest executive officer of a prefecture is called a prefect.

"Ji Fulin."

Zui Hongchen was startled. He took a sip of tea and threw the cake into his mouth, "It's actually him..."

While he was holding his chin in his hands, Wang Laoshi lowered his head in silence.

After a while, Zui Hongchen raised his head and said, "Apart from this matter?"

"Yes, the number of murders in Nanyang Prefecture has increased in recent months. Several farmers reported that the people who committed the crimes were all dressed in black and their faces could not be seen clearly."

"...Um."

Zui Hongchen's fingers were tapping rhythmically, and the cold light gradually gathered in his black eyes, "What did the government say?"

"The attitude is to try our best to investigate the case, but so far we still can't find any clues."

It's no wonder that he is wearing a black robe and can't see his face. How can anyone find him?No way to start.

"Any more?"

"The young master's men arrived in Dingling City a month ago and met with the second master. They are now stationed in the military camp." The second master Wang Laoshi mentioned was naturally Sun Er.

Zui Hongchen nodded, and finally heard some good news. Since Situ Yu was here, he would hold onto his heart tightly, and at the same time let others see Viscount Dingling's attitude towards his subordinates.

"One more little thing... Zhang Qi, the mayor of Lingyue Town, retired half a year ago and settled in Dingling City. His eldest grandson Zhang Sheng just returned to Dingling City not long ago, and his second grandson Zhang Miao enrolled in Sunday school in Dingling City."

"Oh? I will visit him when I have the chance."

Zui Hongchen has always had great respect for this old man who gave him the gift of knowledge. Not to mention anything else, but he just recommended him in Lingyue Town, a small town with nearly a thousand people. This appreciation is worthy of him. Do.

"I understand, you can go down." Zui Hongchen and Wang Laoshi said hello, "They are all my partners, and their births are completely different. Please stop those slaves from being too flattering."

"Yes."

Wang Laoshi nodded in response, bowed to Zui Hongchen, and left with a smile.

The young master is becoming more and more mature, and he is proud to be a housekeeper.

Zui Hongchen was pacing back and forth in the study. Ji Fulin, who was originally the chief minister of the Sun and Moon Court, actually came to Nanyangzhou in the south to become the prefect of a state. He was sensitive to the changes in the Sun and Moon Court.

There are just a few possibilities. Ji Fulin has been in a high position for too long, made too many enemies, and lost his original status as the chief minister. He was sent to Nanyangzhou to be the governor for a period of time, and then transferred back to the Mingdu. But at that time , it is no longer possible for him to become the chief minister again.

The second is that he himself retreated to Nanyangzhou and retreated bravely. Such a political signal was just that he wanted to work in the court of the Ming capital for a few more years.

Zui Hongchen thought the first option was unlikely. After all, Ji Fulin was a high-ranking official who had served as prime minister, and it was impossible for him to be sent to Nanyangzhou for being framed for making enemies.

Thinking of the second thing Wang Chengshi said, Zui Hongchen's face couldn't help but darken. Heiyi couldn't see his face clearly, and he committed serial murders, which made him think of the evil soul master.

Are evil soul masters rampant in the Sun and Moon Empire?Could it be that it happened recently?

Zui Hongchen frowned. His intelligence sources were still not sufficient. A Dingling City alone was completely insufficient.

No more thinking would lead to any results. He stood up, tied the jade pendant on his belt, and strode out of the study.

He saw Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao in the resting courtyard and stepped forward.

"Senior Brother, how about this outfit? Does it look good? We usually wear school uniforms every day in school, but I don't have the chance to wear them."

Xiao Xiao usually looks like a little bean sprout in her yellow-green school uniform, but now she puts on a green suit after a brief wash, giving her a hint of maturity.

"Very beautiful." Zui Hongchen replied truthfully, "The blue clothes match your temperament very well."

"Yes, yes, hehe, thank you, Senior Brother." Xiao Xiaoqiao blushed and made a face.

Jiang Nannan squeezed Zui Hongchen's palm and asked worriedly, "Brother, what happened? You look a little worried."

Xiao Xiao also opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Zui Hongchen curiously.

Zui Hongchen scratched his cheek helplessly, but Nan Nan saw through it. . .It’s not her fault, after all, she is the one who has been around the longest.

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, don't worry." He chuckled, "Why don't you think about where to go and what is Xiao Xiao interested in?"

"I want to visit the shops in the Tianhun Empire. I haven't been home for a long time and want to have some snacks."

"Well, what, you won't take us with you to eat?"

Beibei and his group walked out of a separate room. All of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and the handsome men and beauties looked dashing.

"Let's go, senior brother will take you to the tooth ceremony... Although I want to say this, my aunt and Lao Lao are preparing our dinner. Don't eat too many snacks."

Zui Hongchen waved his hand, and the group of people walked out of the Viscount's Mansion with laughter.
