Omi had to sit up

It has been more than ten days since Chen Shu went up the mountain to rescue the first batch of rich merchants who were robbed, but the government that was supposed to check the bandits has not moved.Even if the bandits were picked up one by one by Chen Shu at the beginning, after so many days, those bandits must have already managed to escape.

On the contrary, the big villages like Quzhai that were thrown away by Xie Zhen, the bandits inside died cleanly, and there was no more trouble.

"What about the others?" Chen Shu listened silently, and suddenly asked, "Whether there are magistrates, county magistrates, chief bookkeepers, or even the magistrates above the county magistrate, these will not be accepted?"

Zhizhou is of the same rank as Lin Chenshu's governor this time, except that the latter also has supervisory duties, while the former is an administrative official who governs prefectures and counties and holds local power.

"Since it's money that clears the way, it's natural to go all the way." Zheng Yijing said, "If the county magistrate wants to be stable, how can he not get the benefit of knowing the state? As for the county lieutenant, it's just a subordinate official. They don't move, and they are not stupid. , why bother to be serious about these bandits and their lives and money."

Chen Shu didn't make a sound, and took a sip from the tea bowl.

Zheng Yijing thought it was because Chen Shu was unhappy, and quickly said: "You don't have to pay too much attention to your benefactor. This Daqing Mountain has a long history, and Tianlan County is so high that the emperor is far away. There is nothing you can do about it. You can act righteously Rescuing us is already a great merit. It's just that benefactor passes Daqingshan again, and we need to be careful of these bandits who stir up trouble and retaliate."

Although Zheng Yijing was rescued by Chen Shu that day, he didn't see Chen Shu rushing into the village alone, and he didn't know that Chen Shu had turned the bandit dens by the official road upside down.In the past few days, the bandits in Daqing Mountain have been severely injured, Tang Biao is dead, and Quzhai has been destroyed. These things will definitely spread in the bandit dens, enough to deter the bandits.

What's more, with Xie Zhen's method of killing without blinking an eye, these bandits should be worried for a long time.Even if the government doesn't take action this time, the bandits in Daqingshan may be seriously injured, and they will not be able to make waves for a long time.

Chen Shu didn't tell Zheng Yijing about Qingshan, but when he heard this, he gave his hand holding the tea bowl a slap and said with a smile: "If they have the ability to retaliate, then let them come."

Zheng Yijing frowned for a moment when he said this unrulyly, but saw that the other party's eyebrows were drooping slightly, and the brows and eyes on his pale face were more three-dimensional and eye-catching, the eyelids were covered, and the fine eyelashes held the brilliance in the eyes, casting a faint shadow .

The woman in the pink dress next to her had flushed cheeks. She rolled up the handkerchief in her hand, shyly shy away from looking at Zheng Yijing.

"Engong is really courageous." Zheng Yijing reacted immediately, and smiled at Chen Shu, "The Zheng family has received the grace of saving Engong, and they don't even know Engong's name. What is Engong's name?"

Ji Changming was forced out by Xie Zhen. Chen Shu quickly smiled and said, "I'm just a vulgar person who walks the rivers and lakes. My name is not worth mentioning. It is enough for Mr. Zheng to invite me to drink this cup of tea today." .”

As he spoke, he drank the tea and got up to leave.

Zheng Yijing was taken aback for a moment, and the woman next to her was also anxiously twisting her handkerchief, winking at her father again and again.Zheng Yijing hastily stepped forward to stop Chen Shu and said, "It turns out that Engong is a knight-errant who walks the rivers and lakes. I don't know if Engong has a place to stay these few days. Although my Zheng family is not considered rich and luxurious in Tianlan County, it is still considered a luxury. abundant."

Chen Shu was under the supervision of Lu Qi, so of course it was impossible to go to Zheng Yijing's house, so he declined politely, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng, I have a place to stay overnight."

"So that's how it is." Seeing Chen Shu's refusal, Zheng Yijing looked at the anxious eyes of the woman beside him, and said again: "I see Engong is single, I don't know how old he is this year, is he married?"

"……Um?"

"This is the little girl Zheng Rulan. The little girl has been saved by her benefactor, and she has always been in her heart." Zheng Yijing has already pulled the woman in pink clothes to him, and smiled at Chen Shu, "Just now, the little girl recognized her benefactor at first sight." .”

Zheng Rulan, who was pulled forward by her father, was already blushing. She quietly raised her eyes to look at the white-clothed young man in front of her, then immediately lowered her head, looked at the upper of the shoe and whispered: "My little girl has seen your benefactor."

Zheng Rulan was handsome, with an upper-middle appearance, and her face was covered with red clouds, making her look shy and charming.Chen Shu was taken aback when he looked at it, and suddenly he was awkward on the spot.

"..." What's the situation now? Was he forced to have a blind date face to face?

It’s not that he has never encountered a blind date. Before being dragged into this world by Chang Ming, he was already in his twenties. I want to wait until Xiaowan becomes an adult before considering marriage, so I have been working alone all the time.Later, when his friends saw him like this, they stopped thinking about pairing him up.

He thought he would live like this alone, but he didn't expect that in a different world, there would be blind dates here, and it was when the other party's parents were directly present...

Of course Zheng Yijing could understand that, in his eyes, Chen Shu was a person who walked the rivers and lakes, and he must have some ability to rescue them from the bandits' den.If such a person can be recruited as a son-in-law, he will not be afraid of bandits coming to his door if he has the support to do business in the future.

He thought about it, and waited for Chen Shu's answer, but saw Chen Shu cough dryly, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, although I'm out of the rivers and lakes, I already have a marriage contract with me, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss."

This solitary young man in white Yushu actually already has a marriage contract? !

The Zheng family father and daughter looked at Chen Shu, apparently not expecting such an answer from the other party.Annoyance and loss suddenly appeared in Zheng Rulan's eyes, and Zheng Yijing also had a trace of regret.

He has been in business for many years, and he has already developed a bit of winking. At first, he didn't think Chen Shu looked like a family man, so he wanted to win him over.As a result, Chen Shu's answer directly made all his subsequent rhetoric useless.

"I was the one to be abrupt. I didn't expect Engong to be married, and I don't know what kind of woman is so lucky to be married to someone like you, Engong." Zheng Yijing felt very regretful in his heart, still smiling. .

Chen Shu just said casually to cut off the idea of ​​Zheng's father and daughter, but in fact there is no marriage contract.Hearing Zheng Yijing's question at this time, Chen Shu had no choice but to answer casually: "Zhuojing also travels in the rivers and lakes, and takes care of me a lot on weekdays, but recently I have separate affairs with her, so we temporarily separated..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused.

——The clumsy description just mentioned was just a casual spoof, but in this description, a figure of a person suddenly appeared in his mind. That person stood in black clothes, and his sword was cold.

……

……

It's horrible.

How could I think of him?

Thinking of Xie Zhen's cold face, Chen Shu's eyelids twitched.

"So that's how it is." Hearing Chen Shu's explanation, Zheng Yijing didn't seem to be fooling anyone, so he could only secretly say that it was a pity, and reluctantly bid farewell to Endu.

Zheng Rulan also frowned, looking at the handsome young man in white, her eyes showed a bit of resentment.

Chen Shu didn't look at the expressions of the people behind.At this time, the flow of people had increased, the sun began to climb, and soon it would be noon, Chen Shu returned to the inn from the street, lay back on the bed, and waited for Lu Qi's return.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qi came back to his room with lunch, as usual, a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of side dishes. After eating, he boiled medicine and watched Ji Changming take it.

The smell of the medicine was strong, Chen Shu frowned and drank the bitter soup in one breath, but Lu Qi still looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"What are you looking at me like that for? Is there something on my face?" Chen Shu frowned, pretending to keep his face silent.

He thought that Lu Qi found out that he was following him, but he saw Lu Qi took the medicine bowl in his hand, and said with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Mr. Back off."

Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Lu Qi was watching his condition. His fever had indeed been recurring all the time, which seemed very troublesome.

However, although he has recovered his skills in the past few days, he generally cooperates with Lu Qi to drink medicine and rest obediently. Give me back my weapons and baggage, and I'll see a doctor myself?"

"No, Mr. Qin told me to take good care of you." Lu Qiyi immediately felt vigilant when he heard that Ji Changming was leaving.

"You let me go, if you don't tell me, or if I don't tell you, Mr. Qin won't know." Ji Changming said.

"..." This is not a matter of knowing or not.

It's Hanshan Rinxue who cares about you, Ji Changming.

Lu Qi continued to say with a blank face: "No."

Chen Shu: "..."

Chen Shu suppressed the urge to hit someone, and just lay down and closed his head.

Lu Qi didn't speak any more, packed up his things, and left Ji Changming's room.

After Lu Qi left, Chen Shu got up from the bed again, but after a while, he heard the sound of Lu Qi going out again, and immediately jumped out of the window, locked onto Lu Qi's figure, and followed him.

He followed Lu Qi through the bustling city of Tianlan County, and after a while, he saw a building with red bricks and black tiles, the door was open, and two stone lions stood at the door, looking solemn and majestic, with a plaque on the door Standing in the middle, there are four words "Tianlan County Government" written in large golden characters.

When Lu Qi saw the county government office, he didn't stay too long, instead he slipped into the alley outside the county government office.Chen Shu's six senses looked, and saw Lu Qi's figure flashing in the dark of the alley, he climbed up the wall tiles, and sneaked towards the backyard of the county government through the light and shadow.

Chen Shu looked outside the county government office for a while, saw the officials on duty in front of the government office lazily on duty, and soon followed Lu Qi to the alley, flew on the tiled roof, and walked quietly to Lu Qi's direction to keep up.

The two walked in front of each other, and after a while they walked to the backyard of the county government office.Lu Qi hid in the dark on the tile roof, while Chen Shu escaped into the branches of an old tree not far from Lu Qi.He was sensitive to six senses, and soon saw the rockery and flowing water in the backyard of the county government office, green bamboo and cedar, dressed in a very stylish way, and in a pavilion beside the green bamboo rockery, there was a person feeding koi in the water, and two People stand around.

One of them looked at the man feeding the fish and said respectfully: "Pengzhi County, I heard that the new governor is about to take office, and I am afraid that he will come to our Tianlan County in a few days. He is afraid that the emperor is here to investigate the case." ,what should we do?"

The fish feeder cast a lot of bait, and seeing the clusters of koi in the water, he poured out another handful of bait, and the voice sounded slowly: "The new governor, you mean Lin Chenshu, right?"

"Yes." The person next to him said respectfully.

Peng Zhixian, who was feeding the fish, laughed: "I've heard about this person. Didn't he have a bad reputation in the capital? I heard he has a broken sleeve?"

The habit of breaking sleeves is not uncommon in the capital, and some high-ranking officials also like to keep some young men for fun, but it is probably only Lin Chenshu who has been exposed so blatantly.

Sure enough, the two people next to Pengzhi County also heard about it, and one of them laughed: "I also asked the people in the capital to inquire about it. It is said that this person is really like a girl. He has no power, no power, and no position. Blocking the knife, this is a sixth-rank official position."
