Chapter 86 Corruption case

Chu Xiaoyun took Su Wen out of Hejing County, went all the way south, traveled three or four hundred miles, and found a peaceful and beautiful village to live in.They ordered three meals a day in the farmhouse where they lived, and they delivered them on time, so that Su Wen would not have to work hard.Originally, Chu Xiaoyun had to ask someone to do the laundry, but Su Wen didn't want his own clothes to go through other people's hands, let alone Chu Xiaoyun's clothes. In the end, only the sheets were arranged to be changed and washed, and Su Wen took care of the clothes himself.

It has to be said that without paperwork and running around, the efficiency of this martial arts practice is much higher, and the skill is also thriving.After staying for two days and feeling safe and sound, he released the carrier pigeon that Fang Lingfeng gave him, and told him where he was and what he had learned from practicing kung fu.

Wei Jinghan was silent for a moment when he received this news, and told Fang Lingfeng: "Re: 'Practice with peace of mind, and come back if you are called back'."

Fang Lingfeng nodded: "Yes."

Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received the secret letter from the carrier pigeon. It is a good time to work hard when you have this leisure time and beautiful scenery.Because of meticulous preparations before coming here, coupled with a comfortable life, not only did Su Wen's various physiological reactions weaken in the past two months, but his qi and blood also improved a lot.

In the past two months, Chu Xiaoyun not only went through all the secret books presented by Duan Chengyang, but also practiced them repeatedly, greatly increasing his skills.It can be said that the moves have reached the height of [-]%, and the remaining [-]-[-]% need long-term practice and practice; the main problem is the cultivation of internal strength, but such things as internal strength cannot be rushed, this is a long-term problem. The process of accumulation.

Although he hadn't received the call from the county magistrate yet, Chu Xiaoyun decided to take Su Wen back to Hejing County.

Su Wen was quite worried when he heard the words: "Husband, now that the disguise clothes given to us by Master Yu are gone, we will go back like this, what if we encounter a killer?"

Chu Xiaoyun laughed loudly after hearing this: "Schools will treat each other with admiration for three days. Your husband and I are no longer the Chu Xiaoyun two months ago. If there are any more assassins, they will just come to die."

"Really, my husband is really amazing!" Su Wen was very happy when he heard that, looking at Chu Xiaoyun, his eyes were full of little stars, and he was not stingy in his praise.

Chu Xiaoyun picked up the burden and put it on the carriage bought by the villagers, pinched the back of Su Wen's neck and smiled, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he picked up Su Wen, whose bulge was obvious, and put him on the carriage: "Wenwen, sit down."

Su Wen laughed happily: "Husband, you practiced driving a carriage a few days ago, so it will come in handy soon."

Chu Xiaoyun proudly said: "Of course, I was planning for a rainy day."

Because they were not in a hurry, the two drove the carriage stop and go, and it took four days to enter Hejing County.After staying in the country for a long time, and then entering this affluent county, there is a feeling of prosperity and unreality.

Su Wen lifted the curtains in the carriage to see the people and scenery on the street, reunited after a long absence, he was very cordial.As they walked, the carriage became slower and slower, and finally even stopped.

Su Wen was very surprised. He put down the curtains, turned to lift the door curtains, chuckled, and poked his husband's waist: "Husband, why did you stop the car?"

Chu Xiaoyun grabbed Su Wen's dishonest hand and quickly put it on his lips for a kiss.Then he pretended that nothing happened just now, stretched his neck and looked forward.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but chariots and horses one after another, and black heads.Chu Xiaoyun sat back on the carriage frame: "I don't know either. The cars in front are all parked and we can't leave. Wait, I'll ask someone."

As he said that, he called to stop the opposite party and a pedestrian asked, "Uncle, what's going on in front? Why is it so crowded?"

Su Wen was sitting in the car in a daze, touching the back of his hand that was kissed by Chu Xiaoyun just now, and two red clouds were bewildered on his fair face belatedly.

The passer-by uncle said: "The little concubine at the head of the Wang family gave birth to a fat son. Today there is a full moon feast. Almost all the carriages and horses on this road are congratulations. The front is coming in, so it is naturally crowded. Hey , didn’t you guys go to the wedding banquet?”

The uncle's companion bumped into the passer-by uncle: "That's his second wife, she is favored, you talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard by interested people and make trouble for you."

The uncle hurriedly laughed and explained to himself: "Yes, it's the second lady, I was wrong just now."

Chu Xiaoyun just came back from outside, how could he know about this matter.But in the yamen, since he has caught up, his colleague Youxi must go to praise him personally.Chu Xiaoyun understood the situation and thanked the person who asked for directions.He wanted to turn around and take a detour, only to find that the back was blocked by other vehicles and horses, which was impossible in the end.

"Wenwen, you'd better get in the car and rest more. I guess you won't be able to get out of this street for a while." Chu Xiaoyun turned his head and smiled wryly.

Su Wen poked his head out to have a look: "Husband, you should also come in and have a rest, you've been driving all morning."

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head: "Fool, I have to watch the road. Someone in front has left, so I have to move forward. Otherwise, the people behind will not scold me."

"That's right." Su Wen stuck out his tongue, amused by his naive thoughts just now.

The carriage stopped in place, and Su Wen sat in the car for a while, feeling really bored, so he couldn't help but lift the curtain and asked, "My lord, it's the ostentatious Mrs. Wang whom we met at Dr. Liu's place last time." ?"

"It should be her." Chu Xiaoyun replied.This Hejing county is only a king's head, who else could it be if it wasn't his concubine.

"Huh, I didn't expect her to give birth so soon." Su Wen said.

"It's not that she's born, it's that the child is full moon." Chu Xiaoyun said.

"Ah so fast?" Su Wen was a little dumbfounded.

Chu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "We've all been away for two months. Fools."

"That's right." Su Wen counted back the time and smirked.

The traffic in front began to move slowly, and Chu Xiaoyun moved forward little by little following the traffic and people in the carriage.I didn't expect to experience the fun of traffic jams in ancient times. It seems that traffic jams are not unique to modern times.

After being stuck for a quarter of an hour, it finally cleared up a bit.When Chu Xiaoyun drove past Wang's house slowly with the traffic flow, he found that all the people who went to congratulate him had big bags and small bags, and their hands were not empty; they even found many official sedan chairs among them, obviously not belonging to Hejing County officials sedan chair.

There are not so many officials in Hejing County.

This Wang family is really lively, but this battle is a bit confusing.

After finally passing the noisy and crowded section of the road, Chu Xiaoyun suddenly felt that his breathing became much easier.Su Wen also came alive again, and he sat back by the window to watch the scenery along the road.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure flashing among the vendors beside the street.Su Wen looked back uncertainly, and quickly called Chu Xiaoyun to stop: "Husband, I seem to see sister Zhou."

"Who?" Chu Xiaoyun reined in the reins, stopped the car and asked.

"Sister Zhou, I saw Sister Zhou selling things over there." Su Wen pointed to the direction they came from.

Chu Xiaoyun leaned out and looked in the direction Su Wen pointed, but didn't see any familiar people: "Did you read it wrong?"

"No, I called you only after I was sure. Why don't you park your car aside and let's go and have a look." Su Wen said.

This place is not far from Wang's house, and it is one of the busiest streets in Hejing County. However, there will be less crowds this time. I don't know if everyone has gone to the front to watch the excitement. It seems that this place is relatively deserted.Chu Xiaoyun looked around and thought: Park the carriage to the side for a few minutes, it shouldn't hinder the traffic, right?

Chu Xiaoyun replied "OK", got off the horse and led the carriage to the intersection connecting the alley with no shops, tied the horse to the stone pier beside him, and helped Su Wen get off the carriage.

Su Wen dragged him to the place where he came earlier, and Chu Xiaoyun was so anxious that he hurriedly told him: "Be careful, walk slowly, there are two of you now. Let's not be in a hurry."

After these two months of nourishment, Su Wen's physique was obviously much better than before, and he walked with wind, which often scared Chu Xiaoyun's heart into his throat.

After walking back for more than 20 meters, Su Wen and Chu Xiaoyun stopped in front of an embroidery booth.Only then did Chu Xiaoyun see the woman in front of her who was wearing a flowered shirt and a flowered cloth scarf tied around her head. Looking at the clothes at first glance, she thought she was a middle-aged woman. The woman who was becoming a female celebrity turned out to be Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying's attire is completely a standard village woman's attire, no wonder she didn't recognize her when she drove by just now.

"Sister Zhou." Su Wen exclaimed happily when he saw Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying stopped what she was doing when she heard the shout.Looking up and seeing Su Wen, the astonished expression flashed by, and he smiled back to Su Wen: "It's Xiaowen, you're back?"

After finishing speaking, he put aside the embroidery in his hand, got up and greeted Su Wen and his wife.

"That's right. Husband Xiumu, we went to live in other places for a while." Su Wen replied, "You sell embroidery here, is the business good?"

Zhou Ying smiled and said, "It's okay. Do you like any? I'll give you one."

Instead, he greeted Chu Xiaoyun: "Chu Butou."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded, still immersed in the shock of Zhou Ying's attire.

Although Zhou Ying is still beautiful and natural, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles. Compared with Zhou Ying who met last time, the gap between Zhou Ying in front of him is really big, which made him unable to relax for a while.

Su Wen's thoughts were on the embroidery on the stall, touching this one, taking that one, he liked it all.But most of the embroideries on the stalls were shawls, hand towels, round fans, brocade paintings and other women's articles and home decorations, and all he could use was money bags.It seems that besides clothing, this embroidery is mostly used for women and home decoration.

Hearing Zhou Ying's words, he looked at the mountain of embroidery on the stall and thought for a while: "Don't give it away, I want to buy a purse."

As he spoke, he chose a brightly colored money bag embroidered with gladiolus from a pile of embroidery at the embroidery booth.

Su Wen made the choice, but Zhou Ying refused to accept the money.While pushing back and forth, Su Wen saw that Zhou Ying's hands were full of chapped wounds, and they were no longer as delicate as when they first met two months ago.But it's only August now, and it's not the twelfth lunar month of winter. How could Zhou Ying do this?

Su Wen grabbed Zhou Ying's hand in astonishment, and asked sadly, "Sister Zhou, what's wrong with your hand?"

Zhou Ying quickly withdrew her hand.Because she was wearing bunts, and she didn't have the wide sleeves to hide her hands, she could only hide her hands under the booth: "This money bag is thirty cents apiece, put down the money and go."

Su Wen continued to ask, Zhou Ying turned her head to the side: "It's really all right."

Su Wen looked at Chu Xiaoyun.

In the exclamation of Su Wen just now, Chu Xiaoyun also saw Zhou Ying's hands. To be honest, he was no less shocked than Su Wen, but he didn't show his emotions so much.At this time, receiving Su Wen's questioning gaze and thinking of Zhou Ying's character, he nodded: "Take it if you like it."

As he said, he put fifty Wen coins on Zhou Ying's booth: "I still know what to buy, and you can't buy it with thirty Wen in your purse. Not to mention the thirty Wen purse embroiderers in Dongjie Embroidery Square, and the fabrics are too. Not as good as yours."

Zhou Ying didn't say anything.Chu Xiaoyun said: "We still have something to do today, Miss Zhou, please leave."

After finishing speaking, he took Su Wen away.

It wasn't until they got into the carriage that the carriage disappeared from sight that Zhou Ying picked up the fifty cents on the stall and put it into his purse.Then the booth was collected.

Su Wen followed Chu Xiaoyun into the carriage and finally couldn't help asking: "Husband, why aren't you surprised what happened to sister Zhou's hand?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "There are so many people on the street, and she wants to be strong. Asking her will only hurt her self-esteem."

Su Wen thought about it, and it made sense.Recalling Zhou Ying's hands, I couldn't help nagging Chu Xiaoyun all the time.Chu Xiaoyun drove the carriage for a certain distance, and found a place specially for citizens to park their carriages and tie up their horses, similar to a parking lot in modern society, and stopped the carriage.

Su Wen asked strangely as he got out of the car: "Husband, where are we going?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Ask people around her booth to inquire about it."

Su Wen said: "Didn't you say that you are afraid that sister Zhou will hurt your self-esteem?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "I saw her cleaning up the stall just now, so I should go now."
