Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 342
"I think we are the same kind of people." Li Zhu said angrily.

Chen Jin stared at Li Zhu for a moment with those penetrating eyes, then turned his head and said:
"I don't want to admit it."

"I don't want to either."

Li Zhu answered quickly.

After finishing the sentence, the two fell silent at the same time.Li Zhu suddenly felt that it would be inappropriate to continue talking about this topic.

Li Zhu accepted it when he saw a good deal, and then asked seriously: "I don't know why Mr. Chen came to my house?" Although Li Zhu already knew the identity of the other party, and Chen Jin also knew that she knew, but he didn't make it clear, Li Zhu pretended not to Know.If the identity is identified, Li Zhu can't speak so casually.Chen Jin seems to be very happy with this.

Chen Jin still looked away, and said slowly, "I will be responsible to you."

Li Zhu was so startled that she shook her body slightly, and she, who had always been alert, couldn't help being speechless at this moment.I don't know what to say.She recalled it again and again, but she couldn't think of what she had done that required him to be responsible.

Chen Jin saw her appearance from the corner of his eye, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said solemnly: "Because I failed to completely eliminate the bandits, they wandered in the countryside, endangering the safety of you and the villagers. You The last time I called on the villagers to catch eight fugitives, their companions would not give up. It is impossible for the villagers to arrive in time every time. It is my responsibility to protect the environment and the people. Therefore, I will leave a few Soldiers will stand near your house and wait until all the fugitives are caught."

Li Zhu glanced at him resentfully, and said in his heart, so it is this, you should make it clear.

Hearing this, Li Zhu put away some prejudice against this person, anyway, this person can be regarded as a capable and responsible official.Much better than that pedantic and withdrawn Bai Jin.

Li Zhu said solemnly: "However, I don't know when the fugitives will be caught. Will it be too much trouble for the officials?" And she also heard that many of these officials have the attribute of plucking the roots of wild goose. When I went to the countryside for business, I didn't do much business. Instead, the villagers had to serve them with delicious food and drink, and they had to take some more before leaving, which made the villagers very annoying.There is a folk saying that the crimes of bandits are like a comb, and the crimes of soldiers are like a grate. This grate is thinner than a comb, and the search is more ruthless.Li Zhu was also afraid of meeting such a person.

Chen Jin seemed to see Li Zhu's thoughts, and then said: "Miss Li, please rest assured that these people will not disturb the villagers. They live near the girl's house and take care of their own food and lodging."

"Thank you, sir." Li Zhu really felt a sense of gratitude, feeling that this person was quite thoughtful.If this is the case, even if this person is not a blue sky, he is still a blue sky without smog.

Chen Jin seemed very satisfied with Li Zhu's performance, and his manner of speaking was much more pleasant than before.

"Farewell."

"Walk slowly."

That afternoon, five young men came near Li Zhu's house.

Li Zhu was dumbfounded when he saw these five people.Where are the officers and soldiers here?This is respectively a beggar.

If it wasn't for Qing Feng, a servant of the Chen family, who was in there, Li Zhu wouldn't believe that these people were the soldiers sent by Chen Jin even if he killed him.

Their hair was messy and tangled, as if they had a bowl of overnight noodles on their heads.The clothes were so tattered that I couldn't tell what color they were.

Li Zhu was dumbfounded, and Qing Feng among the five stepped forward and said: "Miss Li, this is what my young master ordered. He said that it is to avoid making trouble. The identities of the five of us are refugees from other places, and we are here to find work in the village. For the time being Live on this hillside. I hope that the girl will treat us as refugees on the surface, and don’t show our feet, and don’t let the villagers know, so as not to be exposed.”

Li Zhu nodded: "Don't worry, I will."

These people built two thatched sheds at one end of the wasteland. The sheds were bundled with straw and wheat straw, surrounded by wooden makeup, and then set up a large pot in the open air.
