"Miss, it's getting late, isn't this too much for Yuzhi County? When he was free, he often drank with the third son. Now that he has something to do, he didn't say anything to the lady all day. Miss, Shouldn't you have handed over the evidence to Yuzhi County? They wanted to send us away because they wanted to protect each other."

Liu Yun poked his waist and said in a puffy voice.

The Cheng family can be regarded as a respectable family in Tongcheng, not to mention that the business of the shop is booming, and how many neighbors they brought along to earn money. They only build bridges and pave roads every year, and the Cheng family has never been absent once. Three of the five bridges on the street were paid for by the Cheng family.

She was just a girl, and she held her head high when she went out, and the neighbors respected her.

As a result, last night, the inspectors first used tricks to frame him, and then the magistrate was contemptuous. Liu Yun's violent temper naturally couldn't bear it.

Xiao Wu followed Liu Yun and Cheng Yuguan.

In the past, Xiao Wu was the youngest in the store, so he could only do odd jobs behind the clan's relatives. Last night he had the opportunity to run around, and today he took advantage of the opportunity to cheekily follow behind the lady, running errands for the lady.

Hearing Liu Yun's complaint now, Xiao Wu raised his eyes to glance at the young lady's face, and tried to speak.

"In the past two days, the streets of Tongcheng have been full of news of water bandits. Although we are far away in Tongcheng, we are still affected. A while ago, a merchant came back with an injury and said he was robbed. Now the city does not say People are in a state of panic, the magistrate must be in a bit of a state of distress, after all, our Tongcheng is a major transportation route, and what happens on the water will have a great impact on Tongcheng."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wu raised his eyes to look at Cheng Yuguan, and said cautiously, "So the county magistrate probably didn't ignore our Cheng family on purpose, it should be because these days are too busy."

Liu Yun suddenly turned his head, looked at the round-headed Xiao Wu, pointed at Xiao Wu's head with his finger, "You, you are too simple. Miss's ready-made evidence has been handed over to Yu Zhixian. If he doesn't show his face, even if he wants to send a message, it's fine. We've been guarding the shop for a whole day. Did you see anyone coming? This is to belittle our Cheng family. "

As he said that, Liu Yun put away his fingers and turned to look at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, if the county magistrate asks for anything in the future, we have to let him go and get back to today's place!"

Xiao Wu rubbed the forehead that hurt from Liu Yun's poke, and after hearing what Liu Yun said, he also looked at Miss.

Cheng Yuguan was sitting quietly at the table at this time, his dark eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

She has already received a reply from her third cousin Feishu. When he left Tongcheng, the situation of water bandits was not as fierce as it is now. In addition, every time the Cheng family's business went out, they would bring enough people, so Cheng Lang's The calmest.It's just that he has already arrived in Wuling and is waiting for a deal, so it is impossible to return immediately.

Tongcheng guarded there, followed Cheng Lang, and sent troops out of the city. Now they are patrolling the water surface, trying to find water bandits, and at least protect the passing merchant ships so that no bad incidents will happen again.I'm exhausted.

Zhao inspector should be the most disturbed.He failed to plan, and he is probably busy dealing with the aftermath now.

What about Yuzhi County?There is a county lieutenant who is doing the arrest, so it stands to reason that there is no such thing as a whole day's work.

Cheng Yuguan suddenly thought that Zhao Xunjian mentioned a sentence last night, saying that the reason why he took the risk was because Cao Shiyou promised that Cao Jiaoyu would support Zhao Xunjian to go further when he was elected in the next three years. The location of the county magistrate.

Correspondingly, Zhao Xunjian is going to assess the promotion, is Yuzhi County also facing this?

The Cheng family has only been in Tongcheng for two years, and this is the first time they have encountered the vicissitudes of the promotion.

If this is the case, Cheng Yuguan thinks that Yu Zhixian has no time to come and give the Cheng family an explanation, and he is afraid that he is waiting for the price.

With the handle in hand, Yu Zhixian is waiting for Zhao Xunjian and the people behind him to bid, what help can he give him to smooth this matter, and even go further, it is not certain to win Yu Zhixian's support.

As for the Cheng family, in the face of being promoted, how could they care about their friendship in the past?If the Cheng family can't help him, he will have a bottom line in his life if he refuses to deal with the Cheng family.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu's concern jumped a little fast. She always felt that all the officials in Tongcheng, big and small, were busy, but the Cheng family was excluded.

The bandits outside are just superficial, and the attention of the officials and lords in the city is not there.

Thinking of Liu Zeming's father, he was not the immediate boss of Yuzhi County, but Liu Xuezheng had something to say about his promotion at the moment.

"Xiao Wu, Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou, where do they gather on weekdays? Do you have a way to follow them and see their movements?"

Thinking too much is just to scare himself. Knowing yourself and the enemy will not mess you up. Cheng Yuguan is going to find out about Liu Zeming and others.

Xiaowu runs errands every day, and Cao Shiyou and Dong Wenping are the most famous people in Tongcheng. He really knows a few of their daily places.

"Miss, Cao Shiyou and the others would go to Huibinlou to recite poems at gatherings in the past, show off their literary talents, and occasionally go to Hongxiu Zhaoxiao Taohong's for a drink."

Liu Yun curled his lips when he heard the words.Tongcheng has convenient transportation, and there are many businessmen staying here, and of course there are also various brothels and courtesans.

The young sons and scholars in Tongcheng love to linger in the flowers, as if they can't keep up with the fashion if they don't go to the brothel and Chu Pavilion.

The Cheng family has strict family rules and is unique.

This is also the reason why the Cheng family is a bit out of place in Tongcheng.

Cheng Yuguan nodded when he heard the words, "Find some unfamiliar people to follow, don't startle them. Don't worry about what they do, just look at where they go and who they come into contact with."

"Yes!"

Xiao Wu took the order and rushed out, but there was firmness and a hint of excitement on his immature face.

This was the first time that the lady asked him to do something. He used to run errands, but now he has orders and can order others. At this moment, Xiao Wu can't wait to become a follower, follow Cao Shiyou and others closely, and complete the task of the lady.

I looked at the hourglass. It was just getting dark and the sun was getting longer. It should be about six o'clock in the evening.

"Miss, let's have something to eat first."

Liu Yundao.

Xiao Wu can do things outside, but she will take good care of the young lady while Liu Yun is inside.

Cheng Yu was concerned about something at home, so he said casually, "Just give me a bowl of porridge and a side dish."

Liu Yun went out, but Cheng Yuguan was anticipating what would happen next.

Although the Cheng family has roots, it is far away in the capital.When you are peaceful on weekdays, naturally hello, me, hello, everyone, now it's time to fight the cards.If no one in the Cheng family has the ability to help officials get promoted, they will inevitably be passive.

Especially now that most of the Cheng family are by the third cousin's side.The identity of the remaining few young, old, and Cheng Yuguan's daughters may be manipulated by others.

In fact, they've already done it.

Didn't Cheng Yuguan get framed last night?It's just that she has the ability to escape.If the third cousin didn't bring anyone back, and the opponent made a comeback and sent more people, even if Cheng Yuguan had excellent skills, he would be hard to beat with two fists.

...

The highest point of the red sleeve move is the room of the oiran Xiao Taohong.

On weekdays, the oiran Xiao Taohong, who is rarely seen by a daughter, is obediently sitting next to Mr. Liu Zeming today, pouring wine and wiping her mouth, courteous yet soft.

The capital is a prosperous place full of wealth and charm.

Liu Zeming is from the capital city, and he was born in the eyes of the fireworks girls in Tongcheng, and cast a halo, let alone Liu Zeming's stature is quite tall, and his appearance is considered correct. He shakes a folding fan in one hand, and a few lines of poetry come out, which dazzles the women present fan.

Xiao Taohong was able to kneel and sit beside Liu Zeming, and did not take the initiative to lean into Mr. Jia's arms, she was already reserved.

"Master Liu, please."

Xiao Taohong offered a glass of wine in his hand, Liu Zeming's eyes were moist at the moment, obviously he had drunk a lot, at this moment he glanced at Xiao Taohong, but he didn't take the wine glass, but stretched out his chin, holding Xiao Taohong's hand After drinking this cup, the two of them exchanged eyebrows, as if they could draw silk.

"I still have to go all out, take advantage of Cheng Yuguan's reaction, put her in jail, hold her hand and let her be charged, and make the case a solid case, otherwise it will change later, and it will be too late to regret."

The faint voice seemed unexpectedly sober in the place where the red candle was intoxicated, but it also carried a secret excitement and a hint of viciousness.

"Ha!" Dong Wenping beside Liu Zeming burst out laughing, put his arms around the prostitute beside him, and laughed loudly, "Hey, Brother Cao, I usually thought that this prince was a spotless and arrogant person, but I didn't expect to do things like that. He is more ruthless than us. Brother Wang, let me respect you, with you here in the future, why don't our brothers be able to do a good job!"

Dong Wenping obviously drank too much, his eyes were blurred, his voice was fluttering, and his hands were unsteady. When toasting the person opposite, most of the glass of wine spilled on the woman beside him, which aroused the woman's coquettish anger.

The Prince Wang on the opposite side didn't give up, he raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, his refreshing appearance made everyone on the field applaud.

The choking Prince wiped his mouth, revealing his round cheeks, it was clearly Wang Qin.

I saw that his usually innocent and bright eyes were stained with a trace of black. He sank his eyes, and instead of looking at Dong Wenping who was already drunk, he looked at Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou.

Liu Zeming naturally hoped that Cheng Yuguan would be stepped on as soon as possible, and then looked to Cao Shiyou who was aside.

Cao Shiyou hesitated.

"Yesterday, Zhao Xunjian was caught by the magistrate. The magistrate's attitude is not clear. Now I am afraid that no one dares to act casually."

Cao Shiyou felt a little bitter in his heart.

In the past, the few of them just studied and played together, even if there were conflicts, a fight or a few words would be nothing.

Ever since Mr. Liu came to Tongcheng, he took them to stay in a brothel, win over companions, and enjoy drinking. Unknowingly, the simple and transparent life in the past seemed to become colorful and colorful in an instant.

I still remember the first time I stayed in a brothel, my father took a feather duster to teach him a lesson.Liu Zeming said good things for him, and he was still grateful.

But gradually, after the initial excitement, Cao Shiyou felt that life was boring.

On weekdays, at most, they quarreled and fought, and the companions who grew up together, now they opened their mouths and shut up, and they were about to frame others and go to jail, and the target was the daughter of the Cheng family.

Cao Shiyou was annoyed by this dangerous life like stepping on a tightrope, but he didn't dare to show it.

He looked at Dong Wenping beside him, and Wang Qin on the opposite side. He was obviously the one who brought Liu Zeming to his companions, but at this moment they seemed to be entangled into monster monsters. Cao Shiyou was afraid that his retreat would make these people Look out, swallow him in your stomach.

They can only make excuses and procrastinate for time.

At this time, for some reason, he missed that "fake and prudish" Cheng Lang very much. If he was still there, the few of them would definitely not be able to degenerate to this point.

"Brother Cao? Brother Cao? What are you thinking?"

Suddenly a voice sounded that seemed to have no emotion, Cao Shiyou woke up suddenly, and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.

But Wang Qin, who was pure and bright in the past, was looking at him with a smile.It's just that smile that made Cao Shiyou feel chills in his heart.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I was just thinking about who else I could ask for a shot, and I was distracted for a while."

Cao Shiyou explained.

Wang Qin seemed relieved, looked at Cao Shiyou and said, "I thought Brother Cao regretted it, and I was shocked. Among us, Mr. Liu Zeming has just arrived, so we can only rely on Brother Cao to take action. If Brother Cao regrets, Didn't he leave us behind? After all, that old oilman Zhao Xunjian has already confessed us all, and it's too late for us to turn around. If we really wait for Cheng Lang to come back, let's not talk about anything else, the dozens of Cheng Jiaerlang "Brother Cao may not be afraid to hide in the government office, but the few of us can't hide."

Wang Qin's voice was still faint, but the smile on Cao Shiyou's face could hardly hold back.

Looking at Liu Zeming and Dong Wenping's questioning gazes, Cao Shiyou quickly expressed his opinion and offered advice, "How is it possible? You are just giving advice on this matter, and I was the one who contacted you. Speaking of which, I am the mastermind and you are at most a staff officer." .I was afraid that you would withdraw halfway.”

Cao Shiyou laughed, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down his throat.

Only then did Dong Wenping smile and said, "Brother Cao has beauties by his side, why don't you know how to enjoy them? The wine poured out by beauties is sweeter."

Cao Shiyou smiled awkwardly, and glanced at the prostitute beside him. The thick noodles were more gorgeous under the candlelight.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Liu Zeming said, "Shiyou, you are going to make an appointment with the county magistrate. Now that things are going on, you can't just let you contribute alone, and we all have to show something. After a while The county magistrate is here, let him make a condition, and see how he can be moved to someone."

Speaking of the magistrate, Liu Zeming still looked carefree, as if he didn't pay much attention to the magistrate.

That's right, when Liu Zeming came from the capital, all he saw were officials from the ministry hall, so why would he care about a seventh-rank county magistrate?
It was Liu Zeming's tone of despising the county magistrate who they usually regarded as the sky, so that Dong Wenping and Cao Shiyou were willing to follow behind him, saddle forward and backward.

There were mixed feelings in his heart, but Cao Shiyou didn't dare to shirk, so he could only ask the boy who was with him on weekdays to invite Yu Zhixian.

At the same time, he was hoping in his heart that Yu Zhixian would treat them as foolish children, so ignore them, let alone come over.
