Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 170

After saying these words, Cheng Tingzhen sighed as if he had relieved a heavy burden, but his complexion gradually recovered.

Since there is only one way to go in front of him, he can only go on like this, and it is useless to think too much.

Mr. Liu stared at him, feeling a little sad in his heart.

He raised his hand and squeezed the corner of his forehead, then lowered his eyes again and said: "I know myself, the gain outweighs the loss in the case of Huang Baipi, this is my fault."

This matter affected the two surnames Huo and He.Offending the He family inexplicably is already confusing, and Huo Zhijian is in charge of the future of the entire county's scholars. The Cheng family who was picked out by him will have an even harder life in the future.

Thinking of this person, Mr. Liu frowned, feeling extremely troubled.

This person is not soaked in oil and salt, and he has a dignified and righteous look on his face, and his behavior is astonishingly dignified, like a smooth stone with eight sides, it is impossible to touch it.These days he has been thinking hard about the way to bring this person down, but he still can't figure it out.

"Sir, don't blame yourself." Cheng Tingzhen's voice came over, and his tone was very gentle: "The decision on this matter is up to me. Mr. also said at the time that this plan may not come true. It is my own will. It is God's will to have this result." As he spoke, he raised his head and sighed again.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu turned around from the window, facing Cheng Tingzhen, Zhuang Rong said: "Your favor is irresponsible, I will write it down, and I will report it later!" A salute.

Cheng Tingzhen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in a harmonious voice: "The past is over, sir, don't worry about it." After speaking, he pointed to the letter on the case: "Time is tight, let's talk about this matter."

Mr. Liu had already planned in his heart, so he said in a deep voice at this time: "This appointment will be fulfilled by the servant, and Lang Zhongling does not have to personally risk it."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Tingzhen raised his head suddenly, and the blood on his face faded away.

"Sir...why did you say that? Could it be because of Huang Baipi's business?" His voice trembled slightly, and even his lips trembled slightly.

Mr. Liu didn't deny it, he nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I made a mistake in my plan, I should make up for it myself!"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Cheng Tingzhen's face was pale, and he said decisively with a flick of his sleeves: "Sir, how can you risk yourself? If you go, how can I deal with myself?"

Mr. Liu had expected that he would object a long time ago, so he smiled at this moment and said softly: "Don't worry, sir, please listen to me."

His tone was still usual quiet, and on that plain face, there was a solemnity different from the past: "I have thought about it many times, and this matter can only be left to me. First, Lang Zhongling is an official. And Lord Lang, you can't act rashly; both, I think Lang Zhongling's plan at this time should be to assign a few guards to handle this matter. But, in my opinion, those guards are all rough people and don't understand The key point here is that if something goes wrong, isn’t it a big fallacy? Three, I can also be half the master. If there is anything that can be dealt with on the spot, my identity can also be used to go to this appointment on my behalf. The person who sent the letter Seeing me, you can also know Lang Zhongling's sincerity. Therefore, this matter can only be done by me."

He spoke in great detail and with good reasons, but Cheng Tingzhen still looked pale and shook his head: "No, absolutely not." His voice was a little fluttering, with self-blame on his face: "This is my fault, why did you do so?" Sir is responsible? Sir..."

"Lang Zhong Ling!" Mr. Liu interrupted him abruptly.

Cheng Tingzhen was startled, and looked up, but saw Mr. Liu's expression was solemn, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Lang Zhongling, the matter of Huang Baipi is my servant's fault. I want to make up for it, and I hope Lang Zhongling will do it!" Forget it, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on one knee with a determined expression.

"Sir..." Cheng Tingzhen took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to help, but Mr. Liu stepped back, and Zhuang Rong said: "Please ask Lang Zhong to order you to pay me for your merits, otherwise, I will no longer have the face to serve you."

Cheng Tingzhen was stunned, and after a while, Fang took two steps back and fell into the chair.

Mr. Liu's attitude is so firm that it is impossible to talk about it.

An oppressive silence spread in the room.

After a long time, Cheng Tingzhen looked up to the sky and sighed, stood up, stepped forward to support Mr. Liu's arm, and said sadly: "Sir... since I have made up my mind, I... will obey it."

These words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and they sounded particularly sluggish.

Only then did Mr. Liu let him help him up, and immediately cupped his hands again and said: "It's not too late, I'll go now."

Cheng Tingzhen looked pale, nodded and forced a smile: "Sir, be careful."

He knew in his heart that if Mr. Liu was determined not to let Mr. Liu go, the other party would feel ashamed because of Huang Baipi's incident, and he would feel even more uncomfortable in front of him, so it would be better to fulfill his wish.

Concentrating on his concentration, Cheng Tingzhen cheered up, Su Rong called a few guards, and told them to protect Mr. Liu, and repeatedly told Mr. Liu that if something went wrong, he should return immediately.

Mr. Liu complied naturally. Seeing that it was getting late, he took a few guards with him, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many guards at the post station while he was interrogating the thief, he quietly opened the back door of the post station and went straight to Liuhua cross away.

This inn is located on an important road. Mr. Liu has traveled between Qingzhou and Dadu many times. He has also enjoyed the scenery in front of Liuhua Ferry, and even went boating on the lake. He is quite familiar with the terrain here, so he led the way and led the people. Go forward.

It was almost midnight at this time, the surrounding fields were all quiet, and all sounds were silent. The road was covered by trees, and the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers wafted from the nostrils, making one almost intoxicated.The luxuriant grass draws its silhouette in the night, and the warm wind of spring night blows occasionally, making a "swipe" sound.

Fortunately, the clouds at this time were much thinner than before, revealing a hazy piece of moonlight, which could make people barely see.

Mr. Liu didn't dare to start a fire, the group of people just walked quickly on the slight moon, and after about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the ferry of Liuhuadu.

In front of the ferry is a huge lake.

At this time, the moonlight was hazy, and the lake water was as smooth as fine silk, and under the light moonlight, there was a silver glow, with little waves, like a galaxy hanging upside down.

At this time, Mr. Liu had no intention of admiring the scenery, he just stretched his neck and looked at the locust tree next to the ferry.

The meeting place mentioned in the secret letter should be in the woods.

He looked as far as the eye could see, but saw that the forest was dark, like an indistinguishable monster lying on the edge of the ferry.The night wind blew across the water, making a soft rustle.Apart from this, there was no other sound, and no one came, only the tops of the trees were blowing in the wind, and the flowers and leaves were shaking.

Mr. Liu was afraid that he would miscalculate the time, so he carried the time owl with him before he went out, so he took it out to look at the light, but he saw that the time omission was exactly the right time.

Could it be that that person dared not come out to meet him?

Some doubts arose in Mr. Liu's heart, he concentrated his attention, and raised his voice slightly: "The servant is here, please meet me."
