Zhurou

Chapter 122
Chen Yan got the news just after sitting down, and he didn't have the mood to drink tea, so he immediately asked, "Which one did you find? Why can't you find two of them?"

It's fine if someone else is in prison, one is his only adopted son who will inherit the family in the future, and the other is the son of Tian Ying, the owner of Banshui Village, and his identity is even more important.

The people in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion don't know how powerful it is, and dare not let him go.

The steward hurriedly reported several names one by one, and said: "Everyone is only willing to speak in an official style, and I don't know where to learn it. They even said that the prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. At the end of the question, they pushed me to find it." The left and right military patrols said that Pei Jiedu was going to clean up the atmosphere, if he didn't follow the rules, if something happened in the future, the superiors would know, and they would not be able to protect themselves..."

Chen Yan frowned tightly.

If this is the case, no one will believe it if you use it to prevaricate a fool.

Zou Ma Sui has always been the emperor's confidant, supervising the garrison army and border officials for him.

Originally, when the Supreme Emperor was there, because the Northwest didn't obey orders, the Jingzhao Mansion had a lot of anti-will, but here the soldiers are strong and horses are strong, and they live in a corner. big.

He acted according to the will of the emperor, stabbed the knife many times, and came down a few times, and the trouble was already incompatible.

Right now, the Supreme Emperor is tied to Xiazhou, Xuzhou is besieged in the north, Di Bing goes south, and the new emperor abandons nearly half of the country and flees south. In all likelihood, he wants to offer land and silver to seek peace.

The imperial court was weak, but Northwest was able to protect itself, and his existence was already extremely embarrassing. What's more, it was not clear what the new imperial court was planning, whether it would, and whether it could help him.

Chen Yan was anxious in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask the old man to help him find out the temperament of the people in the pavilion, and at the same time connect with the cave masters here, as a way to strengthen himself.

He has always lived in Qinzhou, and he is not familiar with the people in the Jingzhao Mansion. He heard that it was an escort agency. Although he did not pay attention to such rough warriors, he knew this kind of business. Apart from paying attention to the strength of his fists, most of them stood behind him to help Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a foothold, so after thinking for a while, he asked, "Which way did Li's bodyguard go?"

"I asked around, and said that the subordinates released by Cao Jiedu many years ago came out in the first place, and this trend has expanded even more. However, he keeps a low profile and never causes trouble. I don't know why he suddenly took over this time. Bad things."

Chen Yan asked the root cause again.

The manager told about Zhao Mingzhi's identity and background that he had inquired about, and said: "The eldest girl sent a message to the yamen the day before yesterday, but the other side ignored it. This time, I have to visit the door in person, thinking that if the girl can voluntarily separate with the yamen, it will be natural. It's best - just coming back with the master..."

While the two were talking, Chen Yuanniang had already received the letter and came here in a hurry.

As soon as she saw Chen Yan, tears rolled down her cheeks. She called her father first, and told what happened to Zhao Mingzhi just now, and finally said: "I ran for nothing today, and I was humiliated in vain. Brother also Couldn't pick it up."

When Chen Yan came out of the palace, he acted more cautiously, asked his daughter in detail for a long time, and wondered, "Which one is Mrs. Chen?"

Knowing that Chen Yu's mother took her granddaughter to move westward, she happened to bump into Zhao Mingzhi on the way. This time, she sent a letter of worship, and her daughter came to meet her. Speaking of this, she took the initiative to help her, and took the lead. Chen Yancai A little relieved.

The envoys are usually ordered by the emperor to visit the people and inspect the officials. They are born to be grasshoppers on the same rope as themselves.

However, Chen Yu's mother said that the woman surnamed Zhao was just a merchant woman, and the head of Li's Escort was called Li Xun. Made a fuss.

If so, it would be much easier.

Old Cao Mang's subordinates were already full of hostility towards him, who took on official duties on a horse, and it was normal to do such reckless and inconsiderate things in order to vent his anger on his sweetheart.

He inquired clearly, but he didn't dare to act rashly, because he knew that Pei Yong had already returned to Jingzhao Mansion, he was afraid that something bad would make him open his eyes and see him, and even more afraid that this accident would cause Tian Ying to change his position and think twice. , and didn't care about his butt not getting hot, so he hurriedly asked someone to find a famous post.

Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has already found all the people who can be found, but they are unwilling to help, so they can only look for higher places.

However, most of the people in the higher places are Pei Yong's cronies, so they may not be willing to let him sit with other people, maybe they wish to use this matter to separate the two, let alone let them know.

Chen Yan thought about it seriously for a long time before he found three or two people who could be used. He didn't care whether he wanted to give favors or money back, so he hurriedly went back to the public office to find two official documents as an excuse, sealed them with wax, and didn't care. Pretend to others, bring their own name cards, lead a group of attendants, and knock on the door one by one.

He worked here, ran from dusk to late at night, and finally persuaded the two of them to conceal the reason, and secretly helped to find people from the yamen. He thought he was careful enough, but he didn't expect that although Mrs. Chen hadn't cheated before, But when he found something wrong later, he didn't take the initiative to mention it, and was counting on him to try it out.

And his daughter Chen Yuanniang was born with deficiencies, and she couldn't make up for it the day after tomorrow. Although she and Zhao Mingzhi met and talked, she only felt wronged and couldn't distinguish the subtleties in the other party's words.

***
Zhao Mingzhi didn't know the many good deeds that Mr. Chen had done.

She was able to see Chen Yuanniang today, listen to what he said, and watch what he did, and she was already very dissatisfied with Chen Yan.

The so-called those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. If they hadn't been influenced by their ears and eyes, how could Chen Yuanniang have said so many outrageous things?
The younger brother has been on the throne for more than two months, and he is only busy escaping from disasters and wars every day. He is too young to recognize all the words, and it is naturally difficult to distinguish the good and bad officials from the opponents.

It's fine if I don't know, since I know that Chen Yan is not good, and when people find out that it is not a slander, I can't let him mess around here anymore, I have to ask the court to choose another good minister.

What an important position in the northwest. If you do well in the job of taking over official duties, you can act as a mediator between the imperial court and the local area. If you do poorly, you will cause trouble if you have nothing to do.

She made up her mind, and when she returned to the mansion, she first called the cook to give instructions for setting the banquet, and then wrote a new letter back to Caizhou, asking her to go to the capital to look up Chen Yan's previous documents and examination books, and wait As soon as the answer was finished, it was already dark, and it was only time to change clothes briefly, when a little girl came in and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, the second leaders outside are back."

He asked again: "My aunt from the kitchen called to ask when I could set the dishes, and said that I would make arrangements when I had time - the fish soup must not be removed from the fire at all, once it cools, it will become fishy, ​​I'm afraid the girl will not eat well. "
