Daming Junior Scholar

Nodding his head slowly, Chen Xuan went back to the back of the desk, reached out and took out a piece of something wrapped in red cloth from under the desk, put it on the desk, and made a 'dong' sound, obviously the bread here Should be something heavy.

For some reason, Hu Er suddenly felt that his throat became very dry, and he swallowed dryly. At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly untied the red cloth, and then a silver light pierced into the mouth. into Hu Er's eyes.

There is so much silver, it's probably no less than a few dozen taels.

Hu Er's mouth opened unconsciously. Seeing so much money in front of him, it is absolutely impossible to say that he is not tempted. Hu Er didn't know where his courage came from, so he asked suddenly: " My lord, what is this?" "These are all for you." Chen Xuan generously pushed the money forward, but Hu Er was completely stunned, and after realizing it, he waved his hands desperately and said: "My lord, I can't help it, how can the little one get so much money.

"

"There's nothing you can't do." Chen Xuan deliberately darkened his face, and then said in an orderly tone: "I've already said what I said, you can't make me go back on my word, can you?" "Eh? That's true. " Reason was finally defeated by greed, Hu Er stopped refusing at first, stretched out his hand and slowly took the money, and suddenly changed a vicious expression on his face and said: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know what to say. shouldn't

Say? "

"Tell me." Chen Xuan nodded.

"I think that even if Lu Jinsheng goes abroad to study, he will come back one day. What if he uses this matter to blackmail the adults?" Hearing this, Chen Xuan also felt what Hu Er said. There is some truth to it, if Lu Jinsheng opened his mouth to him like a lion and asked for money over and over again, wouldn't he be very passive, hesitated for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Then, what can you do?"

way? "Have you ever heard a sentence, my lord?" After a pause, Hu Er suddenly showed his fierce face and said: "Only the dead can keep secrets." "

Chapter 590

It was late at night, and the whole city had already been plunged into darkness. At this time, there was a window on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn in the west of the city, showing a glimmer of light.This is the third candle Sima Yuan has lit, but Xiangli has no intention of coming back. Sima Yuan is already faintly worried, and regrets why he asked Xiangli to go to the county government to steal the test paper. If this is the county

The people in the yamen found out that Xiangli was extremely dangerous.

It's just that it's too late to regret now, Sima Yuan can only silently hope for Xiangli's safe return in the room.

Seeing that the third candle was about to burn out, the window of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Sima Yuan asked reflexively: "Who?" Then he added: "Is it Xiangli?"

"My lord, it's me." The person who was blown in along with the cold wind was indeed Xiangli, who had been away for a long time. After agreeing first, he couldn't wait to run to the brazier, stretching out his numb hands and slowly roasting Start a fire.

No matter what, it's good to be safe.

After the fragrant pears were roasted for a while, and his body finally warmed up, Sima Yuan asked softly: "How is it? Did you bring the paper back?"

Xiangli shook her head bluntly: "No, I never found the place where Magistrate Chen put the sweeper."

Sima Yuan secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that Chen Xuan had already prepared himself for it. He must have kept the test paper in a secret place. It was normal for Xiangli to arrive early.

Just when Sima Yuan wanted to comfort Xiangli, and then think of other ways, Xiangli suddenly raised her head, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "However, I have heard a very important piece of news, please listen to it, my lord." Come here." By the faint candlelight, Xiangli began to tell Sima Yuan the news she overheard in Chen Xuan's study, although Xiangli could not hear clearly in some places. But the general meaning is not much different. After Sima Yuan finished listening, he suddenly pondered in his heart. It seems that he was not wrong. He Jiaan was wronged. If it comes, wouldn't He Jia'an be in danger this time?

few?

Therefore, the most urgent task is to immediately find the examinee surnamed Lu and protect him strictly.But this matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. After all, I only brought Xiangli alone when I came to Jiangnan this time. Qingjiangpu is such a big place, and I can't get the support of the government. Where should I go? Find this Lu Jinsheng

Woolen cloth?After discussing for a long time, the two finally came up with a solution, but whether the solution will work or not depends on their own luck. The most important thing is to find Hu Er before he strikes. otherwise

In other words... I'm afraid He Jia'an's scapegoat has been decided.On the second day, when it was just dawn, the side door of the county government office was pushed open, and a head was carefully stretched out, and only when there was no one around, carefully walked through the door come out, quickly open the side door

Close it, then press the hat on the head, quickly walk out of the alley, and quickly walk towards the pier.At daybreak, Qingjiangpu, which had been suppressed by the night for a night, became active again. Many figures appeared in the streets, docks and markets, most of them were wearing similar hats, and immediately gave the figure of the man just now Very good

covered up.At the beginning, because they were afraid of being discovered by Hu Er, Xiangli and Sima Yuan followed at a distance. When the number of people in front began to increase, when the two wanted to get closer, they suddenly found that they had been walking in front of each other. Hu in front

Two, suddenly disappeared.

Sima Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked worriedly, "Xiangli, can you still see Hu Er?"

Don't look at Xiangli's dexterity and good kung fu, but she is naturally short. How could he see the places that even Sima Yuan couldn't see? I can't tell who's who."

"This is terrible. If Hu Er finds Lu Jinsheng first, it will be troublesome." Sima Yuan was anxious, and at this moment he didn't care to cover up his whereabouts, and quickly walked along the street with Xiangli and the two of them. walk forward.

Anyway, Hu Er didn't know himself, so what if he met him.I thought it was good, but after walking for a long time, the two of them didn't see Hu Er's figure. After walking a long way, Sima Yuan finally stopped, looked at the empty street in front of him, and then looked back at himself. the way, the heart has

Reluctantly said: "Xiangli, let's go back and look for it again."

"My lord, what if..." Xiangli was afraid that Hu Er would go to the pier by another route, and if the two of them still wasted their time here, wouldn't it be Hu Er who took advantage of the loophole.

"I can't care so much anymore. In this way, I will go left and right. Let's search again. Remember, if you see Hu Er, don't show your feet." Sima Yuan warned again worriedly.

"Don't worry, my lord." For the people in the Ministry of Justice, stalking is a very common thing. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, seem to be leisurely, but in fact they walk quite fast, but most of the streets are full of people. The common people who were on their way like this did not seem to be the same as the two of them.

so abrupt.Sima Yuan's impression of Hu Er came entirely from the face when he and Hu Er came out of the side door. When the two of them discussed last night, they estimated that there were four gates in the county government. Family members of the county magistrate enter

For the remaining two doors, this Hu Er must have gone through the one closest to the pier.

Sure enough, Sima Yuan, who had been secretly hiding nearby, saw Hu Er's face clearly. With his eyesight from the Ministry of Punishment, he might have firmly engraved him in his heart just by looking at him.That's why Sima Yuan dared to check the surrounding situation so boldly by himself. As he walked, Sima Yuan smelled a very attractive fragrance in his nose, and his eyes couldn't help but follow the direction of this fragrance. , this does not look

What's more, his eyes were immediately attracted by the fragrance.I saw a breakfast stall not far away, the stall was not very big, and there were only four or five tables scattered around it, but the steamed buns on the breakfast stall were big snow-white meat buns, looking so Sima Yuan's stomach couldn't help beating the tempting buns, but when he thought that he had something important to do, Sima Yuan had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of spit. He was just about to pass by the stall when he Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a figure on the table, his own

He paused in his footsteps, turned his head and greeted: "Xiangli, are you hungry, come over and eat some buns." Even though Xiangli is young, she is very experienced in the world. Hearing what Sima Yuan said , I knew in my heart that he must have found Hu Er, so he trotted over immediately, and said with a salivating expression: "Uncle, can you do it this time?"

Can you buy me some more buns?The last one was really delicious. ""Okay, no problem, you go find a place to sit down first, and I'll come later." Sima Yuan winked at Xiangli, then turned around and said, "Boss, here are ten buns." "

Chapter 591

Waking up too early in the morning, Hu Er originally thought of going to the pier to make some arrangements, and then after Lu Jinsheng arrived, he would find an excuse to trick him into the bow of the boat and push him into the water to drown, but When passing by this early stall,

After I smelled the tempting smell of the meat buns, I couldn't bear it anymore. After thinking about it, it was still early anyway, so I sat down and started eating.It seems that the business of this early restaurant is very good. After a while, the empty seats around are already filled with people. According to Hu Er's usual habit, he is generally unwilling to share a table with others. If you make a table by yourself,

Usually put the waist knife on the table, the other party is often scared away, but today is different, I have been careful for so long because I am afraid that someone familiar with me will recognize me.The first person to join the table is here. He looks about fifteen or six years old. He looks curious when he looks at everything at a young age. This is probably the first time a countryman has come to the city. Everything he sees is new. Hu Er thought about it and decided

I must endure it.

After a while, another person came over with a plate of buns, put them in front of the boy and said, "Xiangli, eat."

Fragrant pear?

When Hu Er heard such an interesting name, he almost laughed out loud, but he managed to hold back his laughter, and accidentally got out of breath and coughed.

Seeing Hu Er's coughing sound, the young man on the other side showed a very concerned look, and persuaded him kindly: "Brother, my father said that you should not half-heartedly eat, or you will cough." I was actually taught a lesson by a brat, Hu Er felt aggrieved in his heart, he didn't want to be troublesome right now, so he nodded at the boy named Xiangli, and reluctantly said: " Your father is right, he was the eldest brother just now

It's not right. "The young man who was praised by Hu Er showed a smug face, perhaps because his father's words were recognized by the other party, then he took two bites of the big meat bun, and continued to strike up a conversation with Hu Er: "Brother, what's your surname?What do you do?

"

Originally, Hu Er didn't want to talk to others, but this young man just kept going on and on. Hu Er really had no choice but to speed up his meal while casually saying, "I'm working on the dock."

"Oh, so that's the case, then you..." Xiangli nodded, and was about to continue asking curiously, when suddenly the adult beside him spoke up, and severely reprimanded: "Xiangli, shut up."

"Oh." Seeing that Sima Yuan beside him had a bad complexion, Xiangli showed a grievance on his face, and started to eat the big bun with a look of resentment on his face.

Sima Yuan then apologized to Hu Er: "I'm really sorry, my nephew has never seen the world, and he wants to chat with everyone when he sees it. Please don't take offense to this good man."

"No wonder, no wonder." As long as he didn't talk to himself, Hu Er would not be surprised. He quickly ate all the buns left in his hand, and after saying hello, Hu Er got up and walked to the pier.

As soon as Hu Er left, Sima Yuan and Xiangli stuffed the steamed stuffed bun into their mouths. After paying the bill, they continued to chase after Hu Er's figure.

The episode just now didn't attract Hu Er's attention. In his mind, as long as Chen Xuan didn't betray himself, he would be relatively safe this trip. As long as he concealed his figure well and was not discovered by others Can.
