In a trance dream, Zha Xiaodao remembered the four stiff soles side by side on the mat, the cigarette smoke rings and the ceiling fan spreading under the ceiling, Mars, and the crying child.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a slight musty smell rushed into his nose. There was only a hard bed board and a fairy table in the room, and the smooth gray wall looked a little depressing.
The door opened with a creak, and Li Yan was carrying a large sword box, and his tall and straight body blocked the sunlight from the door tightly.
He looked around and said with a smile: "There are so many houses for criminals, yours is the worst."
Li Yan found a place to sit down, and met Cha Xiaodao on the bed.
"How is the Hao family?"
"Zheng Yuanning wanted to induce a confession, but the two of them still had a conscience. It was a righteous act to kill you. With me watching, the Yamen Gate has no ability to turn a deer into a horse."
"What are you going to do next? If you have no idea, I'll come up with a bad idea."
Zha Xiaodao drank the boiling water in the kettle and said to Li Yan.
Li Yan was a little surprised. In his impression, Zha Xiaodao had always been a person who did multiple-choice questions. Since he was with him, he basically fell into the category of "doing what's in his job well, and don't ask about things that are not in his job. I only take my share." With such an attitude, unless there is a visible benefit, it is rare to take the initiative to fight for something.
"you say."
Zha Xiaodao: "You come here to kill relatives righteously, and separate from me. Anyway, there is a dragon and tiger flag, and no one can do anything to you. I simply escaped from prison and killed Zheng Yuanning who wanted to frame me. Let's part ways first. How about meeting at Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi?"
Li Yan nodded: "That's bad enough."
Zha Xiaodao tilted his head back: "Then listen to you."
Li Yan smiled, rushed to Cha Xiaodao and said: "Chen Tianfang was born in Juren, and his family has an errand for the Cao Gang comprador. He is a big landlord. When Chen Tianfang was young, he gave lectures in the village, and he has a lot of research on Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism. The Chen family, Ke The family has been married for generations according to the ancestor's precepts. Since the year of Jiajing, the spirit of the dragon and the tiger has been shaken. The two families have discovered that in their blood, they are born with the ability to manipulate all kinds of creatures in the sea. At that time, there was a lot of pigs and dragons in Zhejiang, and even the celestial masters drowned countless people along the coast. The great sage who overturned the sea had no choice but to let him wreak havoc. Chen Tianfang volunteered, and he led the Chen and Ke families at that time. After spending two years, he finally drove away the great sage who overturned the sea temporarily. He originally had five sons, Three of them died in repeated fights with Zhupolong. Later, Chen Ke¡¯s family and Fuhai Dasheng agreed that Zhupolong would only lay eggs in the waterway in July and August, and the government wanted him to serve as an official in the court. , he also declined. Therefore, Chen Tianfang was rewarded with a three-rank robe."
After a pause, Li Yan said again: "Until today, apart from Chen Dong, who you slaughtered yesterday, there are only four members of the Chen and Ke families. You have already met the two of the Chen family. The head of the Ke family is called Ke Nuoran. Chen Tianfang's son-in-law and his wife, Ke Chenshi, have no children. These people are not well-received in the local area. The Chen brothers, the youngest is called Chen Dong, nicknamed Huahua Taisui. He always thought it was troublesome to sue the officials, so that he went to the county government office and asked two messengers to come to the door together to get rid of the thoughts of the bitter master. The elder one was Chen Han. Chen Han takes care of the family business, and Chen Han always likes to plunder. He bought the fields of ordinary people at a low price during the famine years. Among other things, last winter, he maliciously raised the price of grain, so thousands of people died of starvation. As for the Ke family, there are rumors that they colluded with pirates and specially asked the people in the green forest to attack and kill those meddling officials and Qingliu. Then they pretended to be robbed, and there was even an example where the whole family was slaughtered."
After Li Yan finished speaking, he poked the ground: "Take them all down, uncover this pot of anger and hatred, and your little matter will be nothing."
"Your idea is not bad, but it's too much effort." Zha Xiaodao said so, but his face was eager to try: "Is this necessary?"
Li Yan stretched out a finger: "When I do something, I ask if I can do it, and then ask if it is a pleasure. I never ask if it is necessary."
"Then what can I do?"
Cha Xiaodao asked again.
"Stay honest and put away your murderous intentions."
Zha Xiaodao slightly raised his eyebrows before he smiled and said, "Did you see it?"
Li Yan knocked on the table: "I really told you to escape from prison, it's not just Zheng Yuanning who died."
Zha Xiaodao didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Li Yan got up to leave.
"etc."
Zha Xiaodao suddenly stopped Li Yan.
"What else is there?"
"Don't you ask, why am I so reckless this time?"But the old man likes it in his heart. We have formed an enmity with the Li family in Liaodong. "
Chen Han pondered for a while, and then asked: "Is there any letter from the prefect of Wu?"
"Yes." Qian Gui nodded, pondered for a while before saying, "Not very good."
"How to say?"
"One is to ask Longhushan whether this Cha Daozi is from a servant of Tianshi Dao, but the other side says that there are no less than a hundred thousand servants of Tianshi Dao, and it will take a few days to sort out the roster, and they will reply later , is clearly a delay.¡±
Chen Han smiled: "It's not surprising, what about the case?"
"The person surnamed Li is obstructing it, so it's not easy to overturn the case."
Chen Han stared at her: "What are you talking about? The old man has already set the tone, so he can do what he wants. But the inattentive Emperor Gou Zhu, surnamed Cha, killed people. post?"
Qian Gui replied: "Zheng Yuanning originally sent it. He meant to take the case apart for trial. Firstly, the crime of surname and investigation will be determined, and then the case of the second master will be dealt with. , Use paper cranes and flying letters to send letters."
"The cabinet's reply letter should arrive at about the same time as Longhushan, right?"
Qian Gui shook his head: "No, the paper crane was intercepted by thieves before it left Zhejiang. I don't know exactly who did it."
"Hmph, it seems that someone is holding back, looking at the jokes of our Chen family, they don't even think about it, now Zhejiang is away from my Chen family to suppress Zhu Polong, and there will be chaos along the coast, and now the imperial court has to use soldiers everywhere At this time, if you want to cross the sea and demolish the bridge, you are not afraid of falling to your death."
Qian Gui lowered his voice: "Would you like to send a message to my aunt. He poisoned the yamen and became that chap."
Chen Han shrugged off the maid, shook his head and rejected him: "The old man asked me to take care of it, so I went to his Ke's house to take care of it? I can see that Li Zhen didn't care about drinking the drunkard, maybe it was him who ordered him to do it." There are still many people who want to watch the fire from the other side, and now it is not beautiful to ask people in the green forest to kill and check the knife."
Speaking of this, he suddenly shut up and waited until the servants and maidservants had packed up the Eight Immortals table and left, only Qian Gui and him were left in the room, then he said, "How about this, you go to Nanqu Sanbao Temple, give the two A hundred taels of sesame oil money, and then took my letter and threw it into the well in the backyard, telling it to find an excuse to make a fuss."
Qian Gui blinked and looked a little embarrassed: "Master, the old man has ordered that no one can go to the Sanbao Temple unless he agrees. My uncle's house is opposite to the Sanbao Temple. These years, I haven't even looked at the gate on the opposite side. You see ?¡±
"Why are you so stupid? The old man also said that I will handle the matter this time. Has he said anything like this before?"
Qian Gui rolled his eyes, not daring to refute.
"After all, my father is over eighty years old. It is impossible to do everything by himself in the future. You just go. I will tell the old man after this matter is over."
"yes."
"Also, I gave 50,000 taels of silver to Mrs. Wu Keyang's natal family. The last time I suppressed the rioters, I thanked him for his help. We will need him in many places in the future."
Chen Han stood up, and Qian Gui hurriedly followed: "Where are Governor Zhu and Young Master?"
"How are they doing now?"
"They all live in the Tianfei Pavilion."
"Li Fukai was sent by the superior to appease Zhu Polong. To put it bluntly, his soldiers are our soldiers. But Zhu Changyun's errand here is over, why doesn't he go back to Hangzhou?"
"I'm not sure about that."
Chen Han thought for a while, then patted his thigh: "I'll also give the young master 50,000 taels, the one surnamed Zhu doesn't need it, if he doesn't leave at this time, he's holding back his guts, and even giving the money makes him look down on us. Wait until tomorrow, and I will ask Zhu Changyun to rush to beg me."
"Master."
Chen Han was a little impatient: "What's the matter?"
"Um, about the accounts you mentioned just now, do you want to talk to the old man tomorrow, and then we can arrange it."
Chen Han stared at Qian Gui, suddenly pointed at the pillars outside, and said, "How much money will it cost to transport this pillar from the north?"
Qian Gui calculated in his mind for a while, and replied: "Add all of them, about 20,000 taels."
"Then I will change five pillars for our house, do I still need to notify the old man?"
"Little one understands."
Only then did Qian Gui bow his head and retreat.
"The things entrusted to you will be done overnight!"
Chen Han had a gloomy face.

The next day, the embankment in the south of Changguo burst and submerged Dinghai County. It is said that only seven or eight months to lay eggs is not enough for the pigs and dragons to reproduce.
