If someone wants to be mean, they can't be stopped.
Chen Ping looked at Xie Zhiyuan's humble look and shook his head helplessly, but he was not so naive, so the title remained unchanged.
"Brother, poetry is meant to be elegant and interesting, just for embellishment. Now that Miss Ming has replied, it proves that she has you in her heart. The difficult first step has been taken. You can just reply as usual."
In fact, when Xie Zhiyuan realized that the person sent to deliver the letter was from the Su family, he knew that the trick could no longer be used.
"However, I suggest that you state in your reply that the idea for the first two letters was mine, so that Miss Ming will not misunderstand you and become estranged. Just blame it all on me."
Help people to the end, and send Buddha to the West. It is rare that the two of them care about each other, and Chen Ping does not want them to become alienated because of some misunderstandings.
"You are indeed the eldest brother, so loyal!"
Xie Zhiyuan, who had no experience, naturally listened to Chen Ping, but he still made it clear in his letter that he asked Chen Ping to make suggestions.
After handing the reply letter to the person from Su Mansion, he kept standing there and smiling stupidly.
The boy who delivered the letter naturally did not dare to delay and hurried back to the capital without stopping.
After Mingshi received the reply, she felt at ease knowing that Xie Zhiyuan was safe and sound, but she was angry with him for being so mysterious and making her worry.
Su Yiyi directly pointed out the key point, "Sure enough, there are experts who have given guidance, and the method of controlling people's hearts is so powerful. It seems that this Chen Ping must be a prodigal in love, and I don't know how many girls have suffered from it."
Ming Shi also expressed concern, "Mr.
"Reply to Xie Zhiyuan. Tell him to stay away from that Chen Ping. This man uses some deceitful tricks based on his little intelligence. He has evil intentions and is definitely not a gentleman."
"That makes sense, we should remind him." Ming Shi nodded sternly.
They didn't know that Xie Zhiyuan had already worshiped Chen Ping's talent and became his loyal younger brother.
Chen Ping, who was far away in Qianzhou, didn't even know that he had been classified as a bad guy.
But it doesn’t matter, since everyone doesn’t know them anyway.
From then on, letters became the norm, successfully helping Xie Zhiyuan start his sour love journey.
Chen Ping feels that he is like Yuelao in the East and Cupid in the West, doing good deeds and accumulating merits are immeasurable.
......
On this day, Xie Zhiyuan came to Zhuyuan in high spirits, preparing to report the progress of his relationship to Chen Ping.
Cheng Cheng reminded: "He's not here."
"Where has my eldest brother gone?" Xie Zhiyuan's eyes widened.
"Can you please stop calling him brother? What's wrong with you?" Cheng Cheng felt a headache when he heard him call him brother Chen Ping.
"What? Are you jealous that I have a good big brother?" Xie Zhiyuan looked arrogant. "Tell me, why is he gone?"
"It seems like two friends came." Cheng Cheng couldn't do anything to him, "They left in a hurry early in the morning."
Xie Zhiyuan frowned, "When will you come back?"
Cheng Cheng shook his head, "How would I know that? He left without saying hello to the teacher. But I saw that his face was blue when he went out. Could it be that something happened at home?"
The other side.
In the carriage, Chen Ping grabbed Ye Chongwen's hand and asked in a hoarse voice.
"What did you mean by what you said earlier?"
When it was just dawn today, Ye Chongwen suddenly appeared in Zhuyuan. He only said that Zhao Jin was back and needed to see them. Chen Ping immediately followed him out of the academy.
Ye Chongwen just shook his head: "Let's talk about it together when we get to Qingxuan."
Chen Ping saw that Ye Chongwen's face turned pale, so he had to calm down his thoughts for the time being.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the back door of He Mansion.
He Qingxuan welcomed them in alone and followed the backyard path to a secluded room.
There was no one outside the room, except for the cold lamps swaying in the wind.
Zhao Jin sat upright in the room, frowning and staring at the tea cup in his hand. He didn't smile until he saw Chen Ping arrive.
"Here we come." Zhao Jin looked at Chen Ping carefully and said with a smile, "The county chief is very good. I haven't seen you in a few years, and you have all grown up."
Chen Ping was also very happy to see his old friend. He raised his hands and said: "Brother Zhao, I thought I would never have the chance to see you again in this life. Where have you been in the past few years?"
"Let's sit down and talk." Zhao Jin became more steady than before.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Jin slowly said, "The disaster of the dyke bursting six years ago actually had a hidden meaning, and someone did it deliberately."
"What???" He Qingxuan stood up in shock.
"Brother Zhao, you mean that the teacher and Magistrate Wang were killed?" Chen Ping grabbed the armrests of the seat with both hands, trembling slightly.
For so many years, everyone has believed that the collapse of the river embankment and the raging floods were just natural and man-made disasters. After all, this was something that was unpredictable and powerless to contend with.
But today they learned that there was another truth behind the disaster of the embankment bursting. How could the two of them not be shocked?
Ye Chongwen already knew the truth of the matter, so he seemed calmer at this time and asked, "Do you remember the abandoned iron mine I mentioned before?"
"You mean, the iron mine is related to the dyke breach?" Chen Ping frowned.
Zhao Jin nodded and told everything he knew, "Everything comes from this iron mine..."
The magistrate of Congwang is repairing the road, the adjustment plan involves the red ridge road, warning of thieves on the road in winter, Huang Fu secretly mines iron ore and sends people to dig river embankments, the young master from the north, Pixiu spreads rumors, the court's accountability document, Huang
Fu was killed and Huang Laosan was deposed...
After six years, the whole story was finally revealed.
"So the canal digging and flood discharge that grandpa presided over was originally successful." Ye Chongwen's eyes turned red.
Twenty lives have always been a huge mountain for so many years, weighing heavily on his heart. Only now can he feel at ease.
Grandpa did nothing wrong, and he is not guilty!
Chen Ping's chest rose and fell violently, and he said with tears in his eyes, "Let me just say, I have tried it with the sand table so many times, how could I be wrong!"
"This beast Huang Liu died like that. It was so easy for him!" He Qingxuan gritted his teeth.
"Who is Pixiu? What's going on with the merchants in the north?" Chen Ping tried hard to stay calm.
He knows that things are not that simple. The other party dares to kill even the county magistrate, and can also prompt the court to issue an official document of accountability, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zhao Jin sat still, with a stern look in his eyes, "Back then, after I killed Huang Fu and burned down Fuding Tower, I went to find Huang Laosan. I didn't know that he didn't know anything, so I had to follow Huang Fu's advice.
Pixiu clues, along the iron ore transportation route
I traced it directly to Dashi Village in Lucheng County, Mizhou. But when I rushed there, the building was already deserted. The surrounding villagers mentioned that they occasionally saw passing merchants handing over goods there. They didn’t know what the specific goods were.
Clear."
"In the following years, I have been investigating in various counties and towns in Michigan, but I have never found any trace of Pixiu or the young master. You were still young at that time, and you had to concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination. It is not appropriate to involve too much, so
I didn't tell you. But now I really have no other choice and need your help."
At this point, Chen Ping reacted keenly, "Brother Zhao, what clues have you found?"
Zhao Jin nodded solemnly, "This time I returned to Qianzhou and visited an old official who worked in Zhengxing Mansion. He was originally from Yongshun County. I had dealt with him several times before when I was the head of the capital.
From his mouth, I finally found out who was the person who impeached the county magistrate."
"Who is it!!!"
The three of them suddenly stood up at the same time, staring at Zhao Jin with rapid breathing.
