Chapter 259: The Emperor Is Far Away (Big Chapter!!)

On the edge of the field, Chen Heng was still watching the quarrel between Gou Wazi and Uncle Shen. More and more people from Xiuzhu Township came after hearing the news. Everyone was a little angry, but looking at Gou Wazi's proud face, they were even more angry and dared not speak. Apparently he was also afraid of Mr. Zhao, the wealthy man behind Gou Wa Zi.

Chen Heng collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the fields beneath everyone's feet. He has always been thoughtful and often thinks more about things than others. I saw that Uncle Shen's fields were neither near villages nor water sources.

Dayong officials clearly stated: All acres of land close to Guo are the upper land, the second is the middle, and the third is the lower land.

In this way, there is no village in front and no fields with water behind. Mr. Zhao from Gouwazi's family spends so much time on it, so why should he take advantage of it?

Chen Heng was a little confused and couldn't help but squat down and grab some soil with his hands. Slowly crush it with your fingertips, feel the softness of the soil, and then bring it to the tip of your nose to smell it.

A familiar smell of cow dung, mixed with the smell of soil, entered the nose. It’s so nostalgic. Chen Heng couldn't help but smile and clapped his hands.

"Big..." Noticing Chen Heng's strangeness, Xinda came up to ask, but almost revealed his brother's identity and quickly changed his words, "Brother, what did you think of?"

Putting his hands in his sleeves again, Chen Heng straightened up and replied, "I was thinking, what else can this landowner do besides planting crops?"

What does this matter? Is it nothing more than bullying men and dominating women, living in a land of fish and meat? Liu Xianglian was stunned, not thinking that this question was worth thinking about.

Someone nearby heard Chen Heng's question, looked at a few people sideways, and then said angrily: "What else can they do? They want to buy it and plant mulberry fields."

Chen Heng nodded with sudden realization and laughed at himself. It's a waste of time to think about it. It's better to wake up the local people with a few words.

As expected, the locals know local affairs and everything is well known to the people.

Seeing that the speaker was a middle-aged man, Chen Heng deliberately asked: "Brother, why are you so sure?"

"In June, just after the disaster, Mr. Zhao said that his family wanted to buy land. At that time, the price he offered to each family was only three taels of silver per acre. Who would be willing to sell it to him at this price? Even if they go to the land, it would cost five taels. Two silver dollars per acre.”

The middle-aged man swallowed and took a breath and said: "Later, several families sold the land to them because of Mr. Zhao's face."

The man pointed out a few acres of land near the mountains and forests in the distance, "The land they just plowed has now been planted with mulberry seedlings."

"These greedy bastards only want to make money for themselves, and they don't care about the life and death of the people in the village. If the land is sold like this, who can live on a few taels of silver in the coming year will only have to sell their children and leave their hometowns."

"If that's the case, why don't you report it to the official?" Chen Heng asked.

The man sneered, shook his head and said, "Young man, you really have never seen the world. Why don't you know how officials protect each other? If you have the skills to report to officials, you might as well go to the big boss to uphold justice."

The boss? Chen Heng frowned slightly and wrote down the name. Just at this time, Gou Wazi saw more and more people, and he couldn't help but panicked: "Let me tell you first, if you dare to hit me, our master will definitely report you to Huating County Government, the former county magistrate But he is our master’s best friend.”

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent. As the saying goes, good people do not fight with officials. But if you really have to bear this breath, if Mr. Zhao brings people to your door in the future, who will be able to vent your anger for you? Someone stamped their feet angrily and said, "If you continue to make trouble like this, we will go to the river to find the boss."

Gouwazi panicked when he heard this name. He quickly changed his tone and said softly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. It's all a matter in the village. Uncles, how can you invite outsiders to intervene."

"If the knife is not put to the neck, are you sometimes afraid?" Someone sneered.

Gouwazi rolled his eyes and realized that he was planning something. He immediately changed his words and shouted: "The matter cannot be argued clearly, and the reason cannot be explained clearly. If uncles are really unhappy, let's go to Li Zheng to explain it to him, or go together." In the county government, in such a big world, there is always room for reasoning, don’t you think?”

Chen Heng felt that he had heard enough, and before the people became angry, he said loudly: "That's right, that's right. There is always room for reasoning in the world. Why don't I just go to the county government office to make a grievance?"

Everyone looked sideways when they heard this, and saw that it was a young man with a foreign accent, and they were too lazy to talk to Chen Heng for a while. Everyone turned their heads and discussed angrily.

Some people say that Gouwazi should be caught and beaten. Someone said that they would snatch the IOU from Gou Wazi's hand and tear it into pieces.

Amidst the discussion, a group of strong men with sticks and knives suddenly ran outside. This group of people saw that it was Gouwazi's help, and they were so suppressed that everyone did not dare to speak when they arrived. Gou Wazi finally came to support him, and his momentum immediately became high. He turned to Uncle Shen and said, "Uncle Shen, I won't embarrass you today."

"Three months of interest, a total of one, two, seven. As a junior, I will give you a few more days, and you can find a way to make it up when you go home. Then everyone will be in peace. Hello, me, our family That’s fine, sir.”

This is an interest of one to two or seven dollars, which will be added up in the next month. This is going to kill Uncle Shen's family. Without this land, how can he support his grandchildren?

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is cleverness and plunder.

"I...I...I'll fight with you!" Uncle Shen was so angry that he raised the hoe in his hand and was about to hit Gouwazi on the head.

"The old guy who doesn't know how to live or die." The guard next to Gou Wazi had already been on guard against Uncle Shen's movements, but when he saw the scrawny old man, he wanted to take action. Someone kicked Uncle Shen to the ground. Those holding sticks were ready to greet Uncle Shen.

The incident happened suddenly. Even if Liu Xianglian reacted quickly, she could only watch the old man fall to the ground. Fortunately, when the stick hit him, he had already rushed forward and grabbed the stick.

The two parties struggled for a while at first, but they couldn't take it back even though they were blushing.

The servant then shouted at Liu Xianglian and asked, "Who the hell are you? How dare you come out to interfere in your grandfather's business."

"I'm your fucking ancestor." Liu Xianglian kicked the servant away with a flying kick, then pulled out the Yuanyang sword from his waist, squinting and looking at the people in front of him, "If you are brave, come up and see the power of my sword. unfavorable."

Seeing that he could kick people far away with just one kick, a group of guards hesitated when they met Lian Jiazi. At this moment, Chen Heng led Xinda into the field and helped Uncle Shen up from lying on the ground. At this old age, the old man's face looked red when he was in trouble. After several pats and comforts, his anger gradually calmed down.

Chen Heng felt relieved and asked two locals to come over and help the old man. He stood up and looked at the Zhao family in front of him, his eyes wandering over their faces one by one.

I saw that Chen Heng was well-dressed and did not look like a poor student. Gou WaZi hid behind the guard and asked aloud: "Which family does this passing hero belong to? Please tell me his name. Maybe he is an old acquaintance with our master."

Liu Xianglian turned her head to look at Chen Heng. When she saw him nodding, she took out a badge from the county government office and shouted: "Open your eyes wide and take a look. The person in front of you is the new appointee." Mr. Chen, the magistrate of Huating County and the governor of Songjiang Prefecture."

What? When Gou Wazi heard the word "Huating County Magistrate", he secretly said that he was unlucky. By the time Liu Xianglian finished her sentence, he had already knelt down on the field and shouted: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. This villain is wronged!!"

Gou Wazi's status in the Zhao family should be quite high. Seeing him kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, the guards of the Zhao family also looked at each other in awe, not daring to act rashly.

Chen Hengduo glanced at Gouwazi and didn't wait for him to speak. Liu Xianglian was already holding a sword and shouted: "You see the magistrate of this county, why don't you kneel down?" His original intention was to ask the guards to put down their weapons quickly to avoid accidentally injuring innocent people in a conflict.

We are not afraid of too many thieves, but we are afraid of thieves jumping over the wall in a hurry.

But when he shouted like this, the people watching in the field also knelt down. Seeing people suddenly kneeling around him, Chen Heng glanced at Xianglian speechlessly. There are many old and infirm people among the common people. If this matter is to be spread, people will have to gossip about it.

But Liu Xianglian did the right thing, and he wouldn't say anything. If you have gossip, just gossip. What do you want me to do?

After leaving Uncle Shen to the care of the villagers, Chen Heng led Liu Xianglian forward and stood in front of Gou Wazi and the others. The kneeling people saw Chen Heng's official boots under his clothes, and they were even more sure of Chen Heng's identity. Clothes can be camouflaged, but the details of it make people see the authenticity at a glance.

When the official boots stopped in front of him, he sank slightly into the mud. Gou Wazi quickly spread his hands, kowtowed to the ground and said: "Sir, I was wronged just now. It was just a villain who had a few quarrels with Uncle Shen, and the talented old man wanted to teach the younger generation. These guards did not know, and they did not know that Uncle Shen was My elders in the village thought he was going to hit me with a hoe, which caused this misunderstanding.”

"You really have a eloquent mouth." Chen Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled. He squatted down under the afternoon sun and took out the IOU from Gou Wazi's arms. "Whether you are guilty or not, I will wait for my trial." You will know."

Keeping the most important IOU close to him, when Chen Heng stood up, he raised his hand and patted Gou Wazi on the shoulder, and said to Liu Xianglian: "Find more ropes and tie them separately. When you go back, leave this person alone. Go to the back."

After deciding how to deal with this group of people, Chen Heng said to the people whispering on the ground: "Who among you knows the leader of this village?"

"Sir... Sir, Sir, I know you." Someone raised his head, and when everyone saw it was him, they all nodded to Chen Heng, indicating that this person was not lying.

"Okay, Xinda, go with him and ask Li Zheng to come over to see me. Remember, bring back some more ropes."

"Yes, sir."

The two men received their orders and hurried to the countryside. Chen Heng quickly asked the kneeling people to stand up and entrusted them with the task of collecting the guards. Let them take care of one of them in groups of three, and take Gouwazi and the others under their custody one after another.

After a while, Li Zheng came back with Xinda. Chen Heng briefly explained his identity and ordered Li Zheng to personally take the people with him back to Fucheng.

There was some delay on the way back. When we reached the Guyang Gate of Songjiang City, the sky was already filled with sunset. Outside the city gate, many people who were leaving and entering the city gathered.

The common people saw Chen Heng sitting on the carriage, followed by a group of accompanying common people. Among the common people, there was a group of people who were like bait on the line, being led along the way. They could not control their leisurely mood, and they all whispered to each other and discussed.

Liu Xianglian took her waist card and asked the city gate guard to go to the county government office and ask the guards to come over. He stood beside Chen Heng's carriage and continued to keep an eye on the Zhao family's guards for him.

Chen Heng was in a pretty good mood. He waited until the county government officials rushed over and called "Master" and "Sir" in unison before asking them to take over the affairs of Xiuzhu people. While ordering people to send Gou Wazi and others to prison for temporary detention, Chen Heng said to the people who were following him: "Everyone, please go back first. In seven days, I will publicly hear the case at the county government office. During this period, if anything happens, If you have any grievance, just come to the county government office and talk to me.”

Only now did the people of Xiuzhu Township become convinced of Chen Heng's identity. Busy and excitedly shouted: "You are really the great master of Qingtian. Sir, we will definitely come in seven days."

Zhao Lizheng, who was in his fifties, also shouted with them. Seeing that everyone was leaving, he was about to follow them back home secretly. But he didn't want to think about it. Chen Heng specifically asked Xinda to call him and followed him all the way. How could he let Zhao Lizheng escape so easily.

"Li Zheng, you don't have to go back. There are many houses in the county government, so you can stay with me for a few days. You can go back when the case is clear."

"Ah?!" Zhao Lizheng shook his body and hesitated for a while. When he noticed the fierce Liu Xianglian walking forward slowly, he had no choice but to accept his fate and said: "I will obey the arrangements of the adults."

"There is no need to panic. I just asked Li Zheng to help investigate the case." Chen Heng smiled very friendly, but Zhao Lizheng became even more flustered.

Chen Heng didn't pay much attention to him, and looked directly at the county government officer, "All of them are detained separately, one person in a room, and far away from each other. If there is anything, I can ask you, Team Leader Liu."

"Yes, sir." The guards responded in unison, so majestic.

With such arrangements in place, Chen Heng asked Xinda to drive the car and escort him first to take Li Zheng back to the county government office. All matters at the city gate were naturally taken care of by Liu Xianglian.

…………

…………

Today's dinner was cooked by Yinglian herself. It consisted of two or three home-cooked dishes, which tasted very delicious. After Chen Heng finished eating, he led Xinda and Xianglian back to the study.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Liu Xianglian excitedly talked about the scene during the day. All he said was that he was really lucky this time. He just went out and met the bully from the fish and meat village, and he could make decisions for the people.

Xinda thought more and asked Chen Heng, "Sir, you won't arrest Mr. Zhao together, but you want to ask for directions?"

Chen Heng's eyes were still scanning the pages of the book in his hand. Hearing this, he nodded and smiled: "If you don't find out, how can you know who is standing behind him?"

Liu Xianglian was very suspicious when she heard this, and said strangely: "Sir, how do you know there must be someone behind the other party? What if it was Mr. Zhao himself who was greedy?"

Seeing that Liu Xianglian could ask such a question, Chen Heng smiled and said: "Songjiang Prefecture is famous for its weaving, and most of the people's taxes come from this." He sat alone on the pear wood desk, "But the people only pay this tax. , Every township and county has a fixed amount of grain tax every year. This is a major matter for the country. If he doesn’t have someone to support him, how can he have the courage to get involved in farming. "

"Just after the disaster in June, the disaster relief officials in July and August took the first step, but they started to blame the people. They were lending interest and writing receipts." Chen Heng shook his head with a smile, and saw Liu Xianglian looking like After realizing something, he said, "Let's take our time to see who will be the lobbyists in the past few days."

"Okay." Liu Xianglian saw that Chen Heng had made a comprehensive plan, and hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "Then I'll go down and clean up the county government servants, and keep their hearts in check first, so as to avoid a few scoundrels appearing. ”

"Yes." Chen Heng nodded and added, "I'm sorry for you these days, keep an eye on me in the prison and don't let any news get out."

"Don't worry, sir. It will be safe to leave it to me."

As soon as Liu Xianglian finished her sentence, Xinda asked, "Sir, why don't we go to other villages tomorrow?"

If we go down now, what else can we see? It was just a whitewashed peace. Chen Heng smiled and shook his head. It's just that some things can be hidden from him, but not from the people below.

As long as they are convinced that there is a place to complain, Chen Heng is sure that those dirty things will be exposed sooner or later.

This is a tactic to attack the heart, and it is also a battle for him to become famous in Huating County. If we don't do it cleanly and neatly, how can we create an impression in the minds of the people that we are true to our word.

"Xinda, keep an eye on Zhao Lizheng more these days."

"Yes, sir."

…………

…………

The next day, Chen Heng did not leave the county office even half a step. After getting up early and changing into his official robe, he stepped on his blue cloud boots and looked like an old man wandering around. He walked around the sixth room of the county government office without stopping at all.

It's interesting to say that the county government servants are all the team left by the predecessor. These old officials were unfamiliar with Chen Hengsu and thought that this dark-faced young man was easy to fool.

Who would have thought that with the incident in Xiuzhuxiang, no one would dare to be rude when seeing the smiling Chen Heng again. There was fear in my heart but I didn't say anything, and my words were extremely respectful.

The names and biographies of these people are stored in documents in the county government treasury. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Chen Heng asked the guard to open the warehouse, took out the documents, and sat in the court to read them carefully.

Don't tell me, if you don't serve as an official in the capital, your life will be good. Although the county magistrate has a low position, he is still the chief seal officer. You can sleep until midnight and get up at midnight, but all the people below are just following his lead. The county magistrate sits high in the court, and people in the county government have to be careful even when walking.

It is said that "the county magistrate who confiscates the family and the governor who exterminates the family", Chen Heng was sitting in the court, waiting for someone to beat the drum and complain at any time. In fact, the county magistrate doesn't have to sit here all the time. When he doesn't have official business, he hides in the back house and sleeps, and no one dares to care about him.

But Chen Heng had a plan to make his subordinates more cautious. He simply sat in the court until the afternoon and only left for a short time during the meal.

Whoever saw the county magistrate who was silent and looked down at the official documents would be afraid. No one dared to say that they were as clean as water.

The county magistrate, the chief clerk and others in the county magistrate's office were all unsure of Chen Heng's temper and were afraid that they would be unlucky.

So when it was Shen time, no one came to the county magistrate's office.

This was normal. When a stone was thrown into the water, the waves would always dissipate for a while. Chen Heng calmed down and prepared for the meeting in the government office two days later.

…………

…………

On the fourth day of October, whether the day was good or not, the weather was just so-so. After packing up, Chen Heng sat in the official sedan chair of the county magistrate's office and set off for the government office.

Today was the day when the prefect Liu Yanzhang presided over the meeting of the county magistrates of various counties and read the imperial edict. Naturally, the imperial edict came with Chen Heng. When Chen Heng arrived at the main hall of the government office, many people had already come here.

The sunlight poured into the courtyard, and the reflected light shone on everyone's official robes. As soon as Chen Heng walked in, three people in the room stood up, namely Qian Dayou, the magistrate of Qingpu County, Tang Jingsen, the magistrate of Haishang County, and Jiang Yuanbai, the magistrate of Nanhui County.

"Chixing."

"Brother Qian, Brother Tang, Brother Jiang."

When the four met, they naturally had to talk. They gathered together lively and talked about the many things and fun things they had done after taking office. After chatting for a while, Qian Dayou, who arrived first, introduced Chen Heng to the other three county magistrates, namely Zhen Zijing, the magistrate of Lou County, Hu Fenglai, the magistrate of Fengxian County, and Ma Panlong, the magistrate of Jinshan County.

These three people did not have a deep friendship with the four people, and they only talked more with the old officials in the government office. When Chen Heng arrived, he naturally sat in front of everyone.

Suppressing the joy of reunion after a long absence, everyone sat in their seats and waited for a while. Liu Yanzhang led Xu Biao and another person out of the back hall.

Seeing that the officials from various places in the government office were arranged in order, Liu Yanzhang introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Jia Yucun, the Tongpan of Chuansha Hall."

Chuansha Hall is a direct-controlled prefecture. Although it has the name of a prefecture, its authority is actually equivalent to that of a county magistrate, and the area is about the same size.

Chuansha Hall can be described later. Here, just remember that this place produces salt and is close to the sea.

Chen Heng specifically asked Li Zhi for permission to transfer Jia Yucun from Yangzhou because of the salt production factor. Moreover, serving as the chief seal officer of a region is also a promotion for him.

Jia Yucun has always been extraordinary, and he only greeted everyone with a humble attitude. After Jia Yucun and Xu Biao took their seats, Liu Yanzhang explained the next situation in Songjiang Prefecture.

Now that the disaster has just passed, all counties must focus on next year's spring ploughing, and must not disappoint the trust of the court and His Majesty. After the leader finished speaking, Liu Yanzhang looked at Chen Heng. Taking the hint, Chen Heng took out Li Zhi's imperial edict from his arms, and everyone stood up when they saw this.

Liu Yanzhang had heard Chen Heng say a few things about the above edict. Seeing him hand the imperial edict directly to him, Liu Yanzhang was a little surprised. This young man has a very powerful mind. He can even hold back such an opportunity to show off.

Chen Heng handed the imperial edict to his superior and asked Liu Yanzhang to read it in person. He then retreated in front of Tang Jingsen. There are seven counties and one hall in Songjiang Prefecture, with Huating as the leader.

"Your Majesty, be well..."

"Your Majesty, be well."

Liu Yanzhang excitedly unfolded the imperial edict. He had few opportunities to hold it in his hands in his old age. This time, the blood was surging, which made it difficult for him to control himself.

He finally coughed his throat and calmed down his excitement. Liu Yanzhang then read it in a deep voice. The imperial edict said that the port should be expanded in Chuansha Hall, Songjiang Prefecture, and Chen Heng, the prefectural governor, would be in charge. The prefecture and county offices should fully cooperate and the construction period should not be delayed until the beginning of summer next year.

After receiving the order, everyone, led by Liu Yanzhang, bowed three times in the direction of the capital to show that they were listening to the imperial instructions.

Having completed one thing, Liu Yanzhang smiled and asked everyone to sit down and began to discuss the port. At this moment, everyone was talking about being loyal and worthy of the emperor's grace.

After the warm-up, they naturally had lunch together in the prefectural government at noon. After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they took sedan chairs out of the prefecture and went back to where they should go.

The sedan chairs of Jia Yucun, Qian Dayou, Jiang Yuanbai, Tang Jingsen and others went straight to Huating County Government.

Among them, there were Chen Heng's classmates, Chen Heng's academy students, and Chen Heng's classmates and close friends. The atmosphere became more lively after the change from the government office to the county office.

The few people sat together, and the topic inevitably turned to Chen Heng's affairs in Xiuzhu Township. In the past two days, there were many gossips about Chen Heng in the city.

Chen Heng did not hide it from them, but only told them the general situation, and also talked about his speculation and views on the matter. The four people said that they would be careful and strict after returning.

They were all local officials, and they could not sit for long with Chen Heng. They did not even have time to eat dinner, and they just drank a few cups of tea. Taking advantage of the good weather outside, they said goodbye one after another.

Jia Yucun stayed until the end. Chen Heng gave him a hint and intended to chat privately. Jia Yucun had served as a local county magistrate before, and he understood Chen Heng's meaning with just some subtle details.

After waiting until the end, they finally left a space for solitude. Chen Heng invited Jia Yucun into the study and sat down with him face to face. She took the initiative to pour him tea and said, "Xue Zheng..."

"Sir." Jia Yucun replied immediately. The imperial edict pointed out that construction work should be started in Chuansha Hall, and it also said that Chen Heng would be in charge. It was obvious that he was asked to listen to Chen Heng's opinion.

Although he was a little reluctant to let a student climb to the top of his head, Jia Yucun was not willing to lose this opportunity. The last time I heard my name in an imperial edict was when Jin Lu sang it in front of Fengtian Hall.

When Chen Heng heard Jia Yucun's name, he thought to himself: Fortunately, he kept Jia Yucun, otherwise if he let him go like this, bad things would happen if he didn't do it well.

He didn't reject Jia Yucun's title, nor did he deliberately try to draw up old friendships. Still continuing: "Please learn to be righteous and forgive me."

After saying that, Chen Heng got down from the soft couch, straightened his clothes, and made a long bow. This is etiquette among peers. Although some things must be stated clearly, etiquette cannot be ignored.

Now that the two were ministers in the same court, and Li Zhi wanted to rule two places by himself, he had no choice but to hint at the sequence between them from the beginning.

Jia Yucun saw everything and stood up from the soft couch, returning the greeting: "Why do you say this, sir?"

Chen Heng then said: "Before leaving Beijing, His Majesty wanted to inquire, saying that Chuansha Hall was the hardest hit. We have to protect the land and the people, and expand the port. Who can take on this important task."

"The students understood the holy will and recommended Xuezheng in front of His Majesty. Something suddenly happened. Xuezheng was supposed to go to Yunnan to serve as the prefectural magistrate, but he was stopped by the students in private. The reason will be made clear to Xuezheng today. Student I feel guilty and really blame myself.”

In this period, Yunnan was a good place in the officialdom. The more Jia Yucun listened, the more thoughts he had in his mind. When he learned his name, it appeared in Li Zhi's ears. Even though he had spent many years cultivating his energy, he still couldn't hold it back and asked hurriedly: "What did your Majesty say?"

Chen Heng smiled slightly, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, he just wrote Xuezheng's name on the screen of Linjing Hall."

As soon as he heard these words, Jia Yucun's eyes widened. The opportunity he had been waiting for all his life but never came to him was so easily achieved by his former student? ?

Thinking of this, Jia Yucun was so excited that he couldn't help but step forward and hold the student's hand, "Chixing, Chixing, tell me, how can I thank you?"

Chen Heng knew that Jia Yucun was a talented person with talents, ambitions and ambitions. Although he may be a mountain wolf, he can use human methods, but if he is always timid, then why use human beings?

"Just learn to be honest and don't blame students for acting arbitrarily."

Chen Heng was invited back to the soft couch by Jia Yucun before he finished speaking. The latter was already holding the tea cup and said directly: "It is enough to be trusted by His Majesty in a lifetime."

At this time, there was no gap between the two of them. Jia Yucun also calmed down his mentality for the time being, no longer worrying about the discomfort of the former students flying above his head, and only enthusiastically discussed everything in Chuansha Hall.

Over the years as an official in Yangzhou, Jia Yucun did not work in vain. He has accumulated rich experience. Both of them are capable ministers and officials. If Jia Yucun didn't have some skills and just relied on flattering others, he wouldn't be the Minister of the Ministry of War in the original book and would be called "Da Sima".

After such a lively chat, Jia Yucun, who was very excited, declined Chen Heng's invitation to stay for dinner and directly said that he was worried about the affairs of Chuansha Restaurant and wanted to go there immediately to have a look.

After sending Jia Yucun out of the city, all the etiquette was done carefully, Chen Heng felt relieved and turned back to the county government office.

With Jia Yucun, there is no need to worry too much about Chuansha Hall.

Chen Heng was sitting in the study, playing with the Go black pieces by himself. I already have the Xiuzhuxiang card in my hand, let's see what rats I can pull out later.

Shortly after nightfall, Xinda suddenly sent a letter home, which was actually from the capital. Chen Heng was so happy that he knew it was written by Sister Lin without having to guess.

I couldn't wait to open it and saw it written on it: On the ninth day of October, Baoyu and Baochai got married. Tired by this matter, I will set off on October 15th and will probably arrive at Songjiang Mansion at the end of the month. Please also ask your husband to take good care of your health, and think about me day and night, etc.

After receiving this letter, Chen Heng's heart felt as if moistened by the spring rain, and he sat in the house and blossomed with joy.

The big chapter you are familiar with is here again, hahaha. Please give me monthly votes, please recommend votes, please please.

Thanks to the book friend "My Big Stupid Sheep" for the reward.
