Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 169

Cheng Tingzhen didn't speak, but turned around and went back to the desk, picked up the letter, read it over and over several times, Fang Chen said in a low voice: "If you talk about the contract, the Tibetan acrostic and the eight characters after it are not difficult. Solution. Wood ghosts are locust trees. There are many locust trees in this place, and there are countless locust forests. However, there is another difficulty in this way. The locust trees are all over the road, and there are miles before and after the post station. It only said the time and things, but it didn't say where to go to the locust tree forest, so it is necessary to send people to search everywhere?"

He frowned, a little irritability flashed across his eyes.

The Cheng family didn't have enough hands, and the letter came in a weird way. He was always suspicious.

When Mr. Liu heard this, he stroked his short beard with his fingers and smiled calmly.

Before this, he had thought about the content of the letter many times, and he had already figured out the meaning of the letter, so he said without hesitation: "Lang Zhongling only reads this poem, and the things depicted in the poem are What, Lang Zhong Ling must know about it?"

Cheng Tingzhen was startled, thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Could it be that the meeting place is... Liuhuadu?" He couldn't help raising his voice, and then quickly lowered his voice, saying with surprise: "Could it be that the place mentioned in this letter is Can Liuhua cross?"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Liu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Lang Zhongling is indeed wise, and it coincides with what I saw. The meeting place that this person mentioned must be Liuhuadu."

Although the poem is written in a bad manner, what it says is clearly written, that is catkins or poplar flowers.

"Snow has not disappeared", "Qiong Yao", "Dongfeng", "dancing in the sky" and so on. Although these kinds of words are used vulgarly, they also point out that this poem is about the catkins flying in spring, the characteristics of seasons and things. It was all written in, so Fang made them guess the place name.

Catkins also has the alias of willow flower, which can be described as relevant.

Speaking of which, this Liuhua Ferry can be regarded as one of the scenery of the Yangzhong post station, it is near the post station, go out from the back door, and it is only a few miles away.This ferry is connected to a large lake, which is quite interesting, so the owner of the inn bought the ferry, and bought a few exquisite painting boats for the boring nobles of the inn to enjoy the scenery. The crossing has also become a gimmick of the Yangzhong station.

The reason why the Yangzhong Post Station can be opened so large and has many elegantly decorated yards is because it is located in a very good location, just connected to several main roads, so since its completion, the business has been very prosperous.Second, it got its name because of the Liuhua Ferry and the vast lake view, which attracted many passing guests to stay here.

The time, place, and things of the appointment are all clear, but Cheng Tingzhen still frowns, showing hesitation.

Although this letter does not seem to be a trap, and the phrase "I will protect you without regrets" also has the obvious meaning of helping, but this person has been hiding in the dark, as if he has been watching the various actions of the Cheng family. .

Thinking of this, Cheng Tingzhen always felt chills in his heart and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Lang Zhongling, in my opinion, you don't need to worry, you can act boldly." Mr. Liu's voice sounded, and his voice was calm without any ups and downs.

Cheng Tingzhen raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Please sir, please clarify."

Mr. Liu stood up from his seat, walked to the window, looked at the shadow of the candle shaking on the window paper, and said leisurely: "What I said, the only word is momentum. With the current situation of the Cheng family, Lang Zhongling... ...There is no longer any hesitation or hesitation, and knowing that there may be fraud, I have no choice but to take the risk."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Tingzhen's complexion darkened, and he stared blankly at the candle on the desk, speechless for a while.

How could he not understand this truth?

However, knowing this, he still hoped that there would be a leeway for maneuver, instead of being led by the nose like this, but he had no power to resist.

His complexion turned gray little by little, and a trace of sadness quietly flashed across his eyes.

Mr. Liu is quite right.

The Cheng family really didn't have the right to hesitate or hesitate anymore.

Except for a surname, the Cheng family has almost nothing.

The sons under Cheng Tingzhen's knees, the older ones are all mediocre and ineffective. Even if they spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach them, their lack of talent cannot be changed by manpower; The solution is to support the family business immediately.

If a family cannot continue its momentum for more than ten years, it will be extremely difficult to start again after falling.

A ready-made example is the Zhong family.

Just because the descendants of the clan withered, the Zhong family can no longer be regarded as a noble family, and can only rely on helping the Qin family to take care of the property for a living.

And their Cheng family, if he didn't fill the position of Lang Zhongling, they might not be as good as Zhong's family.

Although the Zhong family has declined, under the care of the Qin family these years, the family fortune is quite rich.But their family's wealth is already so thin that it is almost unbearable.

Just a few days ago, Cheng Tingzhen had considered and planned in every possible way in order to rent one yard and return two yards.If it weren't for the fact that the Qin family lived in the same inn with them, he would never have been willing to spend that much money on the yard.

Cheng Tingzhen's pale face gradually showed a wry smile, and he said sadly: "Sir, you are right... But, I am the lord, and I shoulder the fate of the whole family, so I can't..." He said no more After going down, with a long sigh, he put the letter back on the case.

After all, it's just an excuse.

As the head of the family, he was really incompetent, which made the Cheng family's road narrower and narrower. Huo Zhijian, the newly appointed county magistrate a while ago, became a huge rock weighing on his heart.

He never thought that the land dispute between him and the Qin family would make the county magistrate so dissatisfied.During this period of time, he has clearly felt that Huo Zhijian's attitude towards the Cheng family is getting colder and colder.

What frightened him even more was that recently, Captain He has not been as close to the Cheng family as usual. Sometimes he can feel that Captain He looks at him very unkindly, as if He did something wrong in general.

That's never a good sign.

In the next few years, if the children of the Cheng family want to succeed, it will be even more difficult.

This thought distorted Cheng Tingzhen's face, and the pain and depression in his eyes almost filled the entire room.

He clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the depression deep in his heart.

Today's Cheng family can only advance, not retreat, but if he has the slightest intention to retreat, the Cheng family will fall like the Zhong family.

That was never what he wanted.

"I understand." After a long time, Cheng Tingzhen opened his mouth with some difficulty, with a sad smile on his face, "This letter, I can only believe it."
