Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 21
When Chen Qingsi returned to the post house, he was afraid that Li Hongqing would not follow martial ethics, so he went to Elder Peng first and told him in detail what happened today.

Li Hongqing then entered, but he was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Qing was so stunned that she forgot to speak.

Is this the character of the Red Woman?

Shouldn't she be so angry that she convinces others with virtue and then disdains their company?

It wasn't until she noticed the strange look in Peng Qi's eyes that Chen Qingsi continued to explain the matter completely.

When Mr. Peng Qi saw that Chen Qingsi had really accomplished this, he was surprised and praised him. He could not understand his student more and more, and he became more and more satisfied with this student.

"I planned to visit the Xiao family today to set a date for getting married. It's a good thing to encounter this. It's almost dusk now. It's not appropriate to visit at this moment. I'll just stay in this inn for one day and come tomorrow. You see how?"

"Hey, after what happened today, the Xiao family's attitude will definitely change."

Chen Qingsi has no objection.

At this time, Li Hongqing said: "Grandpa Peng, this junior suddenly remembered that there is an elder in the county who wants to pay a visit and won't come back to stay at night."

Elder Peng already knew that Li Hongqing had obtained the true biography of the Red Fu Heroine and the Qiu Hu Ke, and had extraordinary martial arts skills. He only gave a few words of advice but did not refuse.

Chen Qingsi was surprised and asked: "What elder?"

Li Hongqing strode away indifferently.

Chen Qingsi laughed dumbly, this little girl's city was like this.

The attitude of the Xiao family changed faster than that of Mr. Peng Qi or even Chen Qingsi.

Just after dusk that day, the Xiao family sent a housekeeper to ask for an audience.

"I have met Mr. Peng Qi, Mr. Chen Langjun. I am Xiao Song, the housekeeper of Xiaozhai in Yixing County. On the order of the family leader, I came here to express my condolences to you two and send you greetings. I will be waiting for you two at Xiaozhai in the south of the city in three days. ."

He said and presented an exquisite invitation with both hands.

Elder Peng Qi was in a happy mood. He looked at the time on the invitation and said, "Please tell your lord that master and disciple will be at the banquet on time."

Chen Qingsi wanted to send the housekeeper away.

Xiao Song, however, looked a little panicked and said, "Mr. Chen, stay here. You are my soon-to-be son-in-law of the Xiao family. How dare I trouble you?"

Chen Qingsi watched Xiao Song leave and said to herself: "It is no accident that the Lanling Xiao family can stand today."

He vaguely remembered that the Lanling Xiao family had ten prime ministers in the 300 years of the Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but admire: Fame and virtue are inextricably linked to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.The prosperity of the family is unprecedented in ancient times.

Their reality today is enough to show that the Lanling Xiao family attaches great importance to talents.

Today, when I first showed my prowess, the other party's attitude changed drastically.

Elder Peng Qi's heart that had been hanging around finally fell into place: "What you have done today has been approved by the Xiao family. With their support, I can rest assured as a teacher." Seeing that Chen Qingsi was not very happy, he said unexpectedly: "Don't you think this is the case?" It's a happy event, but I remember, my teacher, you once said that your biggest dream is to marry Xiao's daughter and ascend to the emperor's palace."

Chen Qingsi said: "It's just an ignorant joke. Sir, please don't take it seriously. The Xiao family can cooperate with them. They are not complementary, but they are not suitable for compliance. I can be the son-in-law of the Xiao family, but I will not be the son-in-law of the bride."

The meeting with the Xiao family was scheduled for three days, and Chen Qingsi also had enough time to experience the people, local customs and customs of Yixing County.

Early on the next morning, Chen Qingsi took Elder Peng to visit Yixing County.

Elder Peng is from Yixing County. He loves Jiangnan even more than his hometown of Yixing County.During his lectures, Mr. Peng often used Yixing County as an example to explain his governance experience.

Regarding the future development of Yixing County, Mr. Peng Qi’s thoughts cover all aspects, from the overall situation to the details.

If Dai Hongling were more generous and put him in charge of directing labor development and construction, he could use it to his advantage.

But it was obvious that Dai Hongling had no news at all and had no intention of letting him take over the matter. He also did not feel that he had the obligation to help him solve problems. He just asked Mr. Peng Qi to act as a guide so that he could conduct on-site inspections.

Of course, he didn't forget his agreement with Yu Qi.

We arrived at Peach Blossom Winery before the appointed time.

Chen Qingsi thought she had arrived early enough, but she saw that Yu Qi was already waiting at the Peach Blossom Restaurant early.

The two exchanged pleasantries, ordered wine and food, and chatted casually.

Chen Qingsi is a veteran at the wine table. He has always played games and enlivened the atmosphere. He only talks about what is happening in the market with a bad guy like Yu Qi.

It not only helps him understand the local customs, but also helps him know what the people at the lowest level need.

Yu Qi also chatted happily. She originally thought that the new Chen Zuoshi would be difficult to get along with, but she didn't want to be so easy-going and have no airs when getting along with someone like herself.

With the wine in his ears, Yu Qi suddenly whispered: "Yesterday, Magistrate Dai called someone to ask Chen Zuoshi what he had done. No words or deeds should be concealed. Don't blame Chen Zuoshi if you live under someone else's roof."

Chen Qingsi had already expected it and said: "It doesn't matter! You are honest and candid with me. There is nothing shameful. It's just official business. I know it. What do you mean..."

He had a gloomy look on his face, as if Magistrate Dai was disgusted by what he said.

Yu Qi immediately felt the same way. People like Dai Hongling just followed the crowd and focused on making friends with their bosses and famous people. They didn't care much about their subordinates, let alone a tainted bad person like Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was also full of grievances towards Dai Hongling, the county magistrate, but unlike Chen Qingsi, he did not dare to express it. He just agreed with it from the bottom of his heart and said: "Drink, drink."

The goal was achieved, Chen Qingsi didn't care and continued to liven up the atmosphere, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The night is cold as water.

Yanling County Government Office.

A black figure was about to climb through the window. Suddenly something occurred to him and he carefully checked under the window before gritting his teeth and climbing into the house.

She gently tied up the man on the bed and gagged him.

Then he rummaged around the house generously, collecting all the valuable gold and silver treasures and other items. He also found a county magistrate's seal from under the pillow. He took out the dagger from his waist and "swiped" it on the table. Carve a few characters: "If you want to find the seal, put ten thousand coins on the bamboo raft in Chishan Lake and cut off its rope."

I wanted to leave, but when I took a look at the Yanling County magistrate who was sleeping soundly, I felt inexplicably angry. I raised my foot and kicked him violently.

Li Jin suddenly woke up from his sleep. Before he could get over his sleep, he saw a black shadow waving at him. He was so painful that he wanted to scream, but he couldn't turn over. He could only curl up and be beaten until he was hit in the head. Feet, fainted.

Heiying seemed to be relieved, and took a long breath, thinking: "It's better to bully such a bastard mediocre official."

She carried the collected belongings on her back and went out through the window.

He came lightly and walked lightly, taking away a lot of money and things!
