General, he's cheating again

After two days, Haohao Tangtang's team has arrived at the outskirts of Caizhou.

Gu Zhen reined in the horse at the tea shop a few miles away from Caizhou City, and ordered everyone to stop at the tea shop along the road to rest for a while.After the stop, the horse servants led the horses to the nearby river to drink water and graze. Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an got out of the carriage and handed over the documents that had been sorted out in the past two days to an entourage to ride back to Kyoto.

At this time, Lin Wenshan and Dong Wen were playing chess in the study in Chenglin Mansion, Kyoto.

After a while, a young man came to report that he had just received a letter from Nanchan Temple in Caizhou.

Dong Wen raised his eyes and carefully glanced at Lin Wenshan's expression, wondering why there was a letter from Caizhou, and then got up and walked to the door to pick it up, and handed it to Lin Wenshan without looking sideways.

When Lin Wenshan took the letter paper, he looked at Dong Wen with narrow eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Master Dong, you and I have long been grasshoppers on the same boat. The old man trusts you a lot, so you don't have to be so careful in the future."

Dong Wen raised his head to look at Lin Wenshan and said with a hasty smile, "Yes, what Prime Minister Lin said is true. Then the lower officials don't treat themselves as outsiders.

Dare I ask Mr. Lin if he doesn't know what Caizhou's letter is about? "

"Those people who came out of Beijing are the thorn in my side!" Lin Wenshan gritted his teeth with hatred in his eyes and said, "They hinder the good things of the old man, and the old man will let them go around. This time, the old man wants to make Caizhou their funeral. place!"

Dong Wen broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words, seeing Lin Wenshan clutching and crumpling the letter paper in his hands, he fearfully persuaded him: "Mr. Lin, I think those people are really abominable when they are against us every day. But Fangfang Taiping in Liaodong now Come down, if there is any trouble in the capital at this time, then we will have internal and external troubles!"

"Hmph. Nowadays, the emperor refuses to listen to the old man, so the old man has no choice but to do so." Lin Wenshan stroked his gray beard with one hand, and leaned on the armrest of the wooden chair with the other, and said in a vicissitudes of life voice from his dry thin lips: "You know I just want to take advantage of these stumbling blocks, so the sooner they get rid of them, the better. Otherwise, they will be in trouble when they get a firm foothold in the court."

Dong Wen stood on one side with his head bowed and heard his heart pounding. Suddenly, Lin Wenshan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Lin, the officials will not know about this matter."

"Wrong, how could you not know about it." Lin Wenshan slapped the letter paper on the table and looked at Dong Wen and said slowly.

Dong Wen's hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help trembling, "What does Prime Minister Lin mean by this, I don't understand."

"Since you have already become the old man's henchman, and the old man has promoted and protected you for many years, I'm afraid there will be more places where you will be used in the future." Lin Wenshan tapped the letter paper on the table and said: "You, I will send the letter tonight. Pass it to Chen Linxiang, let him meet the people who the old man has placed in Caizhou and tell Chen Linxiang to cooperate with them, otherwise the old man will be the first to kill him when he returns to the capital."

"This..." Dong Wen raised his eyes and looked at Lin Wenshan in embarrassment. Seeing that Lin Wenshan had made up his mind, he bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey."

At that time, a group of people from the outskirts of Caizhou entered the tea shop, and Xiao Er couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that there were customers standing inside and outside the door, and he was very busy serving tea and water back and forth.

After adding tea to Qin Qingrong and the others, he put his hands on his hips and wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulders, and said in relief, "Oh my guest, where did the teams inside and outside your door come from? You can get rich wherever you go. It's gone!"

Ye Ru'an and Qin Qingrong looked at each other and smiled, seeing that the second child was interesting, Ye Ru'an smiled and said, "Who do you think we are like?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er looked carefully at the people at this table. When he saw Qin Qingrong from Ye Ru'an, he felt that the more he looked at it, the better he looked, and he couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing Gu Zhen from Qin Qingrong again, I saw that Gu Zhen was dressed in the same gorgeous clothes as those two, but Gu Zhen's facial features were sharp, with phoenix eyes and a straight nose, and there was a hint of unruliness in his expression.At first he thought that Gu Zhen was coquettish, but later he felt that Gu Zhen had a domineering aura, as if this person just glanced at you and you would be terrified.

Xiao Er shuddered, and saw that although Leng Ji was blind in one eye, he had a cold and haughty demeanor and was not easy to provoke.Remembering that he saw a group of men in black practicing martial arts outside the door just now, he guessed that these two people must be generals with such temperament.Hearing that their accents were similar to my own, I knew that these people must live not far from here.Thinking about it so carefully, he guessed that [-]% of them were from the capital.

Encountering such officials, soldiers, uncles, and Xiao Er became more tactful, he looked at the crowd rubbing his hands and smiled and said: "You should look at it small, with the clothes and looks of the adults, it must be the gods from the sky descending to earth! Hey! These two adults must be the heavenly generals in the heavenly palace! And the ones outside this gate are the heavenly soldiers."

Xiao Er looked at Gu Zhen and Leng Ji with a smile, cupped his hands and bowed to the sky: "The two generals came to the small shop with such majesty, it really made the small shop flourish, it was like asking grandpa and grandma for the blessings of eight lifetimes." !"

Gu Zhen stretched his chin and looked at Leng Ji, who was sitting upright, with a smile on his lips and said slowly: "Reward. It's all said to be flourishing, and it's not easy to make a fortune."

Hearing this, Leng Ji took out a heavy silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er.

Seeing Yuan Bao, Xiao Er couldn't help but held his breath and hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and seeing that Leng Ji's expression was serious and didn't look like he was joking, he had to accept it and said, "Thank you two gods, I will definitely keep this money at home, I won't dare to use it indiscriminately!"

After finishing his speech, he heard a burst of laughter from outside the door. It turned out that the soldiers outside were joking with Yun Yun with their heavenly soldiers and generals when they heard his words.

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, remembering that there were two big people next to him who hadn't been introduced, he scratched his head and continued to praise, "If you say that these two are the great generals in the sky, then these two are the stars of Wenqu wisdom in the sky hahaha! Especially This lord is simply the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life!"

Ye Ru'an saw that Xiaoer was looking at Qin Qingrong shyly, covering his face half-covered with a fan, he couldn't help holding back a smile and jokingly said: "Oh? I think you met a lot of people in the tea shop, what you mean by that is that among these many people, he is both male and female. Is it the prettiest?"

"That's the case." Xiao Er didn't dare to look at Qin Qingrong any more, retracted his gaze and replied to Ye Ru'an: "The little one never cares about lying."

"what about me!"

Chen Linxiang, who had been sitting next to him and enjoying a table alone, stretched his neck and asked.

Xiao Er heard the sound and saw that this man was short and broad, with a slender face and a sly look, but he frowned in embarrassment because of his rich clothes: "Ah, this lord is naturally descended from a fairy."

"Then tell me, what kind of god does this officer look like?"

Chen Linxiang raised his head and straightened his back, and became more confident when he saw Xiaoer say this.

Xiaoer pursed his lips and racked his brains for a while, finally hesitantly said: "Look...look at the land, are you satisfied, father-in-law?"

"puff!"

Ye Ru'an burst into laughter, and the hall was full of laughter.

Seeing that Chen Linxiang blushed with anger, Xiao Er hurriedly apologized to the land god in his heart, saying that he would go to the temple to make amends to the old man tonight.

Chen Linxiang looked around and only wanted to find a place to drill himself into, but turned into a rage and wanted to punish this ignorant person.Just as he was about to have a seizure, Gu Zhen stood up lazily and said, "Okay, I've had enough rest, it's time to go to the city."

Xiao Er thought he was going to be attacked, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that they were going to leave.

Chen Linxiang's anger remained undiminished and he said unwillingly: "Wait a minute, wait a while before leaving!"

"What?" Gu Zhen looked a little impatient, "Master Chen doesn't want to go out, do you want this general to take you out?"

Chen Linxiang was taken aback when he heard the words, but the look on Gu Zhen's face was not joking.He was afraid that this evil spirit would not dare to offend him, so he rolled his eyes and licked his lips with a smile: "What about General Gu, I just drank too much tea. When I stood up, my stomach rumbled, and I thought I had some illness. Now I'm fine. No big deal.

My stomach is full of water, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable to be hugged, so I still walk, walk, hahaha. "

After saying that, Chen Linxiang walked out, and when he passed by Xiaoer, he still didn't forget to dig a hard look.

Ye Ru'an looked at Chen Linxiang walking out with a big belly, shaking his head and chuckling with a folding fan in his hand. Before going out with Qin Qingrong, he didn't forget to appease Xiao Er, and took two ingots of silver and put them in Xiao Er's second hand.

Xiao Er was already in a cold sweat, watching the group of people go away at the door before stuffing the money into his bosom and sighing, what a blessing in wealth!

After entering the city, Qin Qingrong raised the curtain of the car and whispered to the servant who was following him: "Go and tell General Gu that the Qin family has a relative in Caizhou, and the mansion is located on the East Street, so we can rest there for two days. Apart from going to Tanzhou to investigate the case of salt and iron, the emperor meant to observe the people’s sentiments along the way. Nowadays, we all come out in private servers, so if the people in the government don’t notice it, it’s best not to alarm the government.”

After the boy understood, he ran all the way to the front to report.

"General, are you looking?"

Leng Ji received the message and asked beside Gu Zhen.

"Yeah." Gu Zhen's expression was light, "If he said so, then go. But today, the master will meet up with the people sent from the building."

Leng Ji nodded, "Yes, General."

When they arrived at Yan's Mansion, the group got out of the car and saw Qin Qingrong's cousin Yan Xing waiting at the door.After Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an introduced Gu Zhen and others to Yan Xing respectively, they were ushered into the gate of the mansion to eat in the East Hall.

At the dinner table, Yan Xing's wife, Qin Shi, sat beside Qin Qingrong and looked at Qin Qingrong over and over again, her eyes gradually dimmed.

She wiped her tearful eyes with a silk handkerchief, looked at Qin Qingrong sobbing and said: "Hey, you and Xiaoxiao have suffered so much these years. Every time I think of Qin Yi's cousin, I feel... all, hey."

Seeing that her aunt was crying, Qin Qingrong comforted her with a helpless smile and said, "You don't have to be like this, you are far away in a foreign country and you still have young cousins ​​to take care of. Father will understand your difficulties when he knows. Besides, Xiaoxiao and I Since I was a child, I was like a little adult, able to take care of myself.”

"You are a good boy." After wiping away her tears, Mrs. Qin got up to fill up the fish soup again and said with a slight smile, "You like to drink this fish soup, so my cousin will serve you more."

"Qingrong, you don't know that your cousin Yan Qi is ill in the past two days."

Yan Xing looked at Qin Qingrong, shook his head and sighed solemnly: "I have invited doctors all over the past two days, but I can't find out what kind of disease it is, and now the condition is getting worse.

I saw that he was always having nosebleeds for no reason, his cheeks were faintly dark, and his consciousness was intermittent when he was sleeping on the bed.You must know this symptom, it is exactly the same as your father before his death. "
