Ministers and others get married by decree

Chen Chen was also confused.He subconsciously looked to the side of the road and saw flowers sprinkled all over the ground. The bunt poor man was kneeling and crying by the side of the road with his daughter in his arms, but he didn't cry very loudly.From his perspective, he couldn't see what the little girl was like, but there was a splash of blood on the ground, which made his heart tremble and made him feel uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a while and said nothing, while Zheng Guogong's second son laughed and said: "What do you call murder? This bitch is blocking our way, so we can only ask them to make way?"

Chu Lou sneered: "This road is a national road. Anyone who flies in the sky and runs underground, even livestock can pass it. Most of the eight-foot-wide road is left for you not to go. You just want to grab other people's roads. How about the livestock?"

"You! How dare you curse people!" Zheng Yuan threw his head down angrily, pointed at them and said to the servants, "Go! Teach him for us!"

Unexpectedly, a dozen or so tall and burly house slaves looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to step forward.

Chu Lou and his party couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, they dismounted one after another, and beat up Chen Chen's gang with punches and kicks.

Qin Fengchi was a little surprised when he saw Chu Lou stepping on Chen Chen and digging out his purse.I saw Chu Lou took a few pieces of silver and walked quickly to the father and daughter, said something in a low voice, and then did some sorting among the crowd of onlookers in the distance, and then a few young men who looked like businessmen came over and took the couple The father and daughter sent the ox cart to the inner city.

Qin Fengchi was surprised because he didn't expect Chu Lou to deal with the aftermath.He originally thought that this was a dispute between high-school children. After the dispute, he might have forgotten the father and daughter, but Chu Lou quickly resolved the dispute and did not forget to help the father and daughter.

He thinks he has met many people, like Chu Lou, who is born at this age, is willing to help ordinary people from the bottom of his heart, and can help ordinary people in real ways, which is really rare.

Qin Fengchi thought at that time that people like Chu Lou are good, but because they are too rare, they are of no benefit to the world.After 20 years, who knows if he will go with the crowd, goofy and light?

When he heard the news about Chu Lou again, he heard that Chen Chen had followed his lead.At that time, he was so busy that he was on his back, and mistakenly thought that Chu Lou had mixed up with Chen Chen.

Facts have proved that he actually underestimated the other party.

Although it is far less than 20 years, Chu Lou is still Chu Lou.

Qin Fengchi recovered and couldn't help laughing at himself.On the contrary, he himself has changed a lot.

"Master?" Qin Song looked at him cautiously.

"It's nothing." Qin Fengchi put down his glass, "There's no need to investigate this person, we can use him to avoid trouble this time."

The master had already spoken, Qin Song hurriedly responded: "Yes, master."

He thought to himself, no matter how it is, ghosts and monsters, they can't escape the master's palm.

In the middle of the night, Qin Fengchi changed into night clothes and went out through the porthole.He climbed up the ship's wall like a ghost. In the dark of night, no one noticed a man standing on the mast.

He condescendingly glanced around, then slid down and landed on the splint, and walked around the bottom cabin along the least crowded place.In fact, it is more convenient to go directly to the bottom cabin from the cabin aisle, but there is a person with sensitive ears living opposite.

It's a pity that things didn't work out as he wished, the person he tried his best to avoid slipped out right now because he couldn't sleep because of the heat, sitting cross-legged on the bow deck and watching the stars.

Chu Lou was bored and started looking for the rumored star Alpha Scorpio.The red supergiant is said to be best seen around the summer solstice and is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, representing the heart of Scorpio.Because of its fiery red color, it is called the "big fire" star in ancient Chinese astronomy.

When they were in school, they learned a word called "July Flowing Fire". The "fire" in it refers to this star. When it gradually moves westward, it means that summer is gradually passing and the weather is getting colder.

He was looking up at the night sky, but he didn't see any fire, but saw a black shadow sliding down the tall mast...Huh? !How do you look like a flying squirrel?

'There are thieves!Stimulate! '

Chu Lou regained his energy, grabbed his sword casually, bowed and followed along the shadow of the compartment.

Qin Fengchi didn't notice it, and he probably didn't expect that there would be people who were so bored wandering around on the boat in the middle of the night.His main purpose of this trip is to check the goods of the head of the Tianjin Commercial Bank.

During the day, he was stopped in the aisle because he wanted to confirm which cabin the surname He lived in first.Who would have expected it to be so small, the trip went smoothly, and on the short journey back, I met people who didn't have long eyes.

There are generally some rules for the cargo transport of this tank boat.The cabin number corresponds to a cargo compartment, and the priority is to ensure that the people living in the cabin have a place to store goods, and then arrange other cargo compartments in order.

Qin Fengchi was dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed, all naked and introverted.The water transport soldier guarding the cargo hold dozed off against the compartment with his halberd in his arms. He took advantage of the accident and tapped the opponent's acupuncture points. With his other hand, he just supported the opponent's slowly falling body, and carefully adjusted his posture.I'm afraid that when the soldier woke up, he thought he was just sleepy.

Chu Lou hid in the dark, and he couldn't help being shocked to see the man in black swaggering into the hold below the deck.

Is there any treasure on this boat?Why are there so many blind people?

He quickly followed.

Qin Fengchi seized the time to unlock the lock and entered the cargo hold of Tianzi, and checked it around with a fire pocket.This cargo hold is full of gold, stone and jade artifacts, scrolls of ancient paintings, and bundles of silk and satin. Apart from being priceless, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

This result was also within his expectations.It seems that if you want to be lazy, you still have to go to Tianjin Mansion.

Just as he was about to blow out the flame, the flames were suddenly extinguished by a strong wind, and the last light was reflected by a sword light, which struck from behind like lightning.

Qin Fengchi was startled, twisted his waist to dodge suddenly, stepped on the bulkhead in the narrow cargo hold and turned over to the corner.

"Who?!" He said coldly.

"I'm your grandpa cat," the visitor deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to say, "I'm here to catch mice!"

Qin Fengchi froze for a moment in the dark, his anger disappeared suddenly, and he felt a feeling of dumbfounding.

'How could it be him? '

Returning to Grandpa Cat, there is only one person in the world who can call him "Grandpa".

He didn't want to waste time, he drew his knife with his backhand and followed the sound!Just let him try the level of this general of several generations of Houfu!

The guards and yamen of the imperial city are all equipped with short-handled hand knives. The blades are made of wrought iron and the blades are made of carbon steel. The blades are thick and easy to chop.And this one of his was bestowed by the official, named Cuoyin, with a pointed tip and a mouthful of Cuoyin at the root, with beautiful cloud patterns and high quality.

On this point, Chu Lou deeply felt the same.

Clang——

Holding the sword in both hands, he gritted his teeth and resisted the knife above his head. In the dark night, the intersection of the sword and the sword brought out a string of fire and electricity.The sword is based on a clever, light and quick way, and it really can't take advantage of the knife that Qin Fengchi slashed.

'Master, did you meet the Vigorous Vajra Mouse? ! '

Chu Lou felt that the top of his head was about to be covered with a cold blade, as if a Mount Tai was being crushed, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.Even at close range, he can't resist being slashed with a knife. If he resists a few more times, his Qinghong sword will probably be tempered.no--

He exerted force with both arms, the long sword stuck to the opponent's blade and forcibly turned it down, then slashed and slashed, followed by "Youfeng Laiyi", the tip of the sword pierced the opponent's throat regardless!No matter how you chop or chop, eat Grandpa's sword first!

It's a good move to go straight!

Qin Fengchi raised his eyebrows and blocked the sword with a horizontal knife. Unexpectedly, the opponent's sword light flashed, and the tip of the sword suddenly turned lightly, stabbing back to his ribs.In an instant, the two confronted each other thirty or forty times, and there was a flash of swords and swords in the narrow and dark cargo hold!The wind of the sword is like a tiger, and the wind of the sword is like a falcon. You come and I will not give in to each other!

He thought to himself, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to get out, if the soldiers outside wake up, they will be in big trouble.

However, Chu Lou was aiming at this idea. Once he changed his attacking sword posture again and again, the long sword became extremely disgusting, like a gecko on the wall, sticking to him, tossing and turning, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Qin Fengchi gradually became impatient.If it wasn't Chu Lou on the other side, he didn't know if he could hold back the killer if he was delayed so much.It's a pity that the other party didn't know that he was "Miss Qin", and she didn't hesitate to attack, completely acting as if she was doing justice for the heavens.

"Well, you water mouse!" Chu Lou became more and more courageous as he fought, and danced with a long sword.

Qin Fengchi was so angry that he didn't have eyes, but he insulted him as a water thief!Which water thief is so capable of fighting without an accomplice?Visible light grows skills but not brains!

He didn't want to fight with this guy anymore.After all, he is a spy of the Eagle Feather Guard, and he is not a wanderer. He has no skills with famous knives and real guns, so why not use some dirty tricks to let this kid learn a lot!

He turned sideways to avoid the blade, put his toes on the wooden box and rolled directly over Chu Lou's head.Before Chu Lou could turn around, he clasped his fingers, and an iron lotus seed popped out, hitting Chu Lou's soft numb acupoint.

It was already dark all around, Chu Lou didn't notice for a while, and was suddenly attacked by a hidden weapon, his legs went limp, and he almost knelt down.

Qin Fengchi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and immediately seized the opportunity to rush out.

"Don't go—"

Chu Lou clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, gritted his teeth and chased after him.The two of them stepped directly over the unconscious soldier, one behind the other, like two black shadows skipping over the corner deck, and came to the side of the ship.

Without turning his head, Qin Fengchi put the knife back into its sheath, and jumped down with his arms folded, like a black fish that dived into the water a few times before disappearing.

"Sure enough, it's a water mouse!" Chu Lou chased him to the side, holding onto the side of the boat and looking down.

In the night, the dark surface of the river rolled layer by layer, slapping the wall of the ship one after another, and the white water foam suddenly rose and disappeared.He looked along the ship's side for a long time, but there was no movement, so he had to give up resentfully.

As for why he didn't notify the water transport officer on the boat... Anyway, his master had warned him that if he encounters a water ghost while sailing, he must go out alone, and those who explore the way will go first.If the water ghost that explored the way was killed directly, it might be possible to avoid being intercepted by the boat.

There were only a dozen water transport soldiers on board, and if they met those of the same level just now, even doubling the number would not be enough for them to eat.Chu Lou counted the days, and in a few days he would arrive at the big port.For the remaining part of the road, there will be more and more boats on the river, and there should be no big splashes.

Chu Lou was covered in sweat, and returned to the cabin humming a little tune.

Perhaps because he has exercised his body well, not only is he not sleepy now, but he feels relaxed all over.He walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, and looked back at Miss Qin's room.I saw the dim light of candle flames coming out from behind the wooden door. It's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?

But the faint sound of water came from Miss Qin's room.

Chu Lou blushed immediately, and didn't dare to listen carefully any more, so he hurriedly entered the room and closed the door behind his back.

The picture in the opposite room was completely different from what Chu Lou had imagined.

"Master, you..." Qin Song looked at the night clothes he was carrying in his hand, not to mention it was already soaked, and there were still water plants hanging on it, emitting an unpleasant smell of water.Master didn't go on the good deck, so why did he get into the water?

"Don't talk nonsense, just throw it away!" Qin Fengchi's forehead was bruised, and his face was gloomy.

He rudely removed his bun, and a head of black hair was wetly stuck to Guang Luo's back. The water droplets continued along the snow-white neck, all the way down the muscular and strong back, and finally along the smooth and tightened waistline all the way. down.

Qin Fengchi raised his arm and smelled himself, and there was indeed a fishy smell, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

"..."

Qin Song was silent like a cicada.His master has always liked cleanliness, and he would never jump into the water if it was not necessary.So... as expected, he was forced to dive into the water?

He didn't dare to think about it any more, and hurriedly ran back and forth to fetch clean pajamas and cloth shoes for Master, and added some toilet water to the hot water. "Master, this is the newly tributed Dashi Hualu. It is said that the fragrance is extremely long-lasting. Would you like to try it?"

Sure enough, the air was filled with a strong scent of flowers with water vapor, which quickly covered up the unpleasant smell.

Qin Fengchi's mood eased, and he raised his legs and stepped into the barrel.

He let out a sigh of relief, relaxed all over, and lazily rested on the rim of the bucket.

"That's right, where did the bucket come from?" He rarely praised.

Qin Song happily said: "It's that idiot on the other side...that Chu Yunkai sent it. It's brand new and no one has used it before!"

This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. Upon hearing Chu Lou, Qin Fengchi's expression turned cold, as if he had returned to the kind of water that was entangled in aquatic plants and sticky, full of murderous aura.

"..."

Qin Song was dumbfounded.He hasn't scolded yet, why is Master so angry?

The little apprentice suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

This Chu Lou is too good at buying his master with a wooden barrel!Looking honest and honest, he turned out to be a man who had a traitor hidden in his heart and robbed him of his master!

"Master, what's wrong with the cargo hold?" He changed the subject carefully.

Qin Fengchi's face became even colder.Looking at the trembling appearance of the little apprentice, he took a deep breath and put away his unpleasant emotions.

"The ledger is not there," he said lightly, "however, we can ask Zhao Yiqing to check this man's shop in the capital. I saw a few ancient paintings. The real ones should be kept in the palace. I’m afraid it’s more than a resale.”

Qin Song understood.This must involve the inner palace.

"If this person has a close relationship with the prefect, doesn't that mean that the prefect also has problems?"

Qin Fengchi didn't care much: "It's the yamen's business to search for crimes, we just need to get the ledger." From his point of view, the prefect of Tianjin prefecture must be involved.

The businessman surnamed He was able to climb to the head of the chamber of commerce in such a large province, usually inseparable from the support of local officials.Although based on the resume he checked before, the prefect Chen's attendance is not inappropriate, and his reputation in the local area is not bad, but often the most greedy mice dig exceptionally deep holes.

The chaotic night did not affect Chu Lou.

The next day, he got up early in the morning and ran around the deck refreshed before returning to the house.

Chu Lou sat on the porthole, humming a song and watching the rolling river a few meters away from the window. Contrary to the decadence of the past few days, his face was radiant and full of energy!

When he thought of the water thief being directly forced to dive by him, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
