Chapter 103: Snake Bane

At dusk, a servant came to the east chamber to report to Chen Jianchen that someone was looking for him. When he came out, he saw that it was Wang Fu who had received a letter from Chen Jianchen before. He already knew where Hu Zhuang was, so he took advantage of his free time to come and take a look.

Seeing the glorious Zhuangzi, Wang Fu was filled with admiration and said: "Liu Xian, no wonder you are willing to stay and be a master. Brother Yu has inquired about it. Hu Zhuang is a well-known and wealthy family in Suzhou. The emperor's wife has a family fortune of millions.

He takes both black and white, he is really a great big shot.1,

What he meant was that Chen Jianchen became Miss Huangfu's master, so he clung to the big tree outside Huangfu Yuan. The big tree was good for enjoying the shade and had countless benefits.

There is a lot of knowledge in life, and finding relationships is the most important thing. However, Wang Fu also heard many bad things about Miss Huangfu, but he didn't know how Chen Jianchen could bear it?

Chen Jianchen lived in Huzhuang, so he couldn't go beyond the rules and greet Wang Fu in the hall, so he had to take him into the east chamber to talk. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Lu Xiyue coming out.

"Hey! This is... 1. In Jiangzhou, Wang Fu had met Lu Xiyue once or twice from a distance. He never expected to meet him here. He was surprised and happy, and was speechless.

Over there, Lu Xiyue had already wished Chen Jianchen a long blessing and said: "Young Master has a guest? 1,

Chen Jianchen introduced Wang Fu, and Lu Xiyue saluted Wang Fu again, and then left with the maid Xiang'er.

Only then did Wang Fu recover from his shock and said excitedly: "Liu Xian, isn't she the daughter of Lu from Wandering Bird Tower? How come she is here and do you still know each other?" Chen Jianchen said calmly: "This is a piece of cloth.

The chief 1 took him into the east chamber and asked again: "Brother Futai, you will be returning to Jiangzhou soon." 1 Wang Fu came to his senses and replied: "All business matters have been taken care of."

We will set off the day after tomorrow morning. 1. Seeing the smile on his face, it seems that not only the business is going well, but other aspects are also going well. At that moment, Chen Jianchen joked: "I thought Brother Futai was so happy that the spring water flowing on the Suzhou River would make him miss Shu. 1

, Wang Fu burst into laughter and couldn't hide the spring breeze's pride: "The spring water flows on the Suzhou River...tsk tsk, Liuxian is a great talent, he speaks well. It's a pity that Liuxian was not there that night, otherwise just by this sentence, the girls would be beaten seven times."

Fold! 1, Chen Jianchen is speechless, but he also knows that some talented scholars can wallow in the powder pile for free with their poetry, and become a brothel talent who "can exchange a poem for a night", which is also talked about.

of.

"Brother Futai, I actually want to find you, and I have something to ask you. 1,

Wang Fu made a sound, clapped his chest and said: "Liu Xian, what are you talking about? If you have any words to say, just speak up. If you can do it, Brother Yu will never say anything. 1,

Chen Jianchen immediately told the story about Lu Xiyue in an evasive manner, and suggested that Wang Fu and Lu Xiyue go back together so that they could take care of them.

After Wang Fu heard this, he patted his big tui and his eyes shone. He looked at Chen Jianchen and said excitedly: "Liu Xian, you are so talented. You are so silent and mysterious. It turns out that you are the one who brought us here."

Jiangzhou’s leading henchman from Lu Qing has been hooked up!”

Chen Jianchen Dayu said what is "hooking up 1".

Wang Fu immediately sighed: "It's really irritating to compare people to each other. Brother Yu has been having a romantic affair for a few days, but it turns out that it's not as good as Liu Xian's spring night."1,

The more he talked, the more nonsense he got. Chen Jianchen quickly coughed and said: "Brother Futai, things are not what you imagined. 1,

Wang Fu waved his hand and said: "Brother Yu understands that the taste here should not be explained to outsiders. Liu Xian, you don't know that all those who can ask Miss Lu to play a piece of music in Wandering Bird Tower are talented people. I don't know how many rich people there are."

Don't spend a lot of money to get a night of pleasure, all because Miss Lu is really loyal, and she will never give in if she is not a prostitute. Tsk tsk, if those high-ranking officials know that Miss Lu has chosen Liuxian as her husband, it would be strange not to stomp her feet and beat her. 1

,

Chen Jianchen suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Wang Fu's unintentional joke was heard in his ears, but it did not sound alarming.

When Wang Fu saw the difference in his expression, he thought he had gone too far, and said sternly: "Please don't worry, Liu Xian. From now on, Brother Yu will regard Miss Lu as his younger brother and sister and treat each other with courtesy. 1

,

Marrying a brothel girl, especially marrying a Qing courthouse servant as a concubine, is a very common trend among today's scholar-bureaucrats. In Wang Fu's view, he thought that Chen Jianchen had finally moved his mind and was interested in Lu Xiyuelang.

It's normal for me to be like that with each other on purpose. But since the two have such a relationship, Chen Jianchen certainly doesn't like others to comment on Lu Xiyue anymore.

Chen Jianchen didn't want to get into more trouble in this regard and asked, "Has the route back to Futai been chosen?" Wang Fu suddenly sighed, with a sad look on his face: "I'm afraid I have to go back to Jiangzhou from another direction this time."

Oh, why? 1,

Wang Fu said angrily: "It's not because of that green snake.1,

Green snake?

Chen Jianchen's heart was moved: "Did that big snake come out to block the road again? 1,

Wang Fu smiled bitterly: "Not only did it come out, but it also ate people. Two hunters who came to the government to reveal the snake went up the mountain to kill the snake, and they were all swallowed up by it.

Somehow, after eating a human, this green snake became extremely ferocious, so it often appears in the mountains and forests, biting both humans and animals on sight. Now almost no one dares to leave the canyon over there for miles around."

Chen Jianchen was moved by this: "Is the evil beast so vicious?"

"Isn't that right? The snake disaster struck, and the government sent three hundred officers and soldiers with weapons in hand to go up the mountain to kill them. However, these officers and soldiers usually act arrogantly in front of the people. When they saw the giant snake appearing, they were so frightened that they pissed and cried.

He ran down the mountain. From then on, the officers and soldiers never dared to move out again."

Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows: "Raising an army takes a thousand days, and using it only lasts a while. The imperial court's purpose in raising an army is nothing more than to stabilize the country and protect the people. They are really incompetent in showing such a performance."

Wang Fu quickly waved his hand: "Don't say this to criticize the government. Be careful that walls have ears. Being overheard will be a big trouble."

Although the customs of the Tiantong Dynasty were relatively liberal, there were also many taboos, such as offending the image of saints and criticizing the imperial court. These were all inappropriate remarks, and it was easy to cause trouble and be "pleased" by the black-shirted guards.

"Going to "drink".

What to drink?

There is a famous method called "Seven Steps to Break the Soul Wine"!

Chen Jianchen suppressed his anger and said: "The snake disaster is getting worse and worse. Could it be that the government just doesn't care about it?"

Wang Fu said: "It's not that we don't care. We put out a list to invite people, but the officers and soldiers don't dare to go out. How can ordinary people dare to risk their lives?"

Chen Jianchen asked: "Since the local government can't suppress it, why didn't the magistrate send an urgent report of 800 miles to ask for help from the court, or maybe send black-shirted guards to kill the snake?"

Wang Fu curled his lips and said: "Liu Xian, you have great talent, but after all, you are still young and do not understand the way of being an official... A big snake has caused trouble to the area under your jurisdiction and is beyond control. If this matter is known by the imperial court, then the governor of Suzhou will be indispensable."

He has to be accused of "incompetent governance." Maybe he will be taken off by a letter of impeachment from the imperial censor. Therefore, the magistrate can't even cover up this matter. Where can he report it?

, Asking for the crime? Anyway, the big snake only moves in the mountains and forests, and has not entered Suzhou City."

Chen Jianchen was not a stupid person, and he figured out the key immediately. Not to mention the Suzhou magistrate, the official way of "hiding the superiors and bullying the inferiors" was applicable to all over the world.

Wang Fu said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, let's go back by another way and walk for a few more days. However, it is a bit dangerous for you to stay here. You should ask Huangfu to make more preparations."

Dongshan is semicircular, with mountains stretching for thousands of miles. Huzhuang is located under the foothills of the east side of Dongshan, but the canyon where the big green snake is causing trouble belongs to the south. The two are separated by no less than a few hundred miles, and the distance is very large.

In theory, there is no need to worry. But such a thing is abnormal, and it is necessary for Mou Yi and Wang Fu to remind Chen Jianchen.

However, Chen Jianchen knew that both Huangfu and his daughter were well-trained vixens with high magical powers, so how could they be afraid of a big snake? And if the big snake was spiritual in cultivation, it would definitely not dare to wander here. He suddenly thought of something

, I just don’t know what attitude Huangfu Yuanwai has towards the existence of the Big Green Snake? He probably thinks that everyone is a monster, and they just ignore each other if they don’t offend each other.

After another conversation, Xiang'er knocked on the door and came in, holding a lot of snacks on a wooden tray, saying that Lu Xiyue had asked her to bring them to Chen Jianchen to greet the guests.

Lu Xiyue was so attentive and considerate that Wang Fu couldn't help but give Chen Jianchen a thumbs up, which meant to congratulate him on having a virtuous concubine.

Chen Jianchen turned a blind eye and only asked him to have tea.

Wang Fu did not linger in the village for too long. After drinking a few cups of tea, he left. He did not return directly to the Suzhou city, but took a shortcut to the Suzhou River. Obviously, he knew the taste, so he had to seize the time to continue "on the Suzhou River".

"Spring Water".

After sending him out of the village, Chen Jianchen had something on his mind and returned to the room with a frown.

Today, the imperial officer went out to discuss business and had already agreed not to come back for dinner. Chen Jianchen was left alone. He didn't want to sit in the spacious dining room to eat alone, so he simply asked the servants to bring him into the room. After eating,

Pack up and go out again.

After finishing many trivial matters, Chen Jianchen began to read and practice calligraphy as usual. He practiced for nearly two hours before stopping. Then he immersed himself in the "Sanli Zhenzhang" and understood its meaning. As for Jiāo Na's little tempered behavior in class today, he

I didn’t take it to heart at all, and the specific consequences will be known after tomorrow. If Jiao Na doesn’t come to class tomorrow, then other measures will have to be taken: and if she shows up in class on time, it means that things are far worse than

As good as imagined,

This little vixen is not hopeless and has considerable room for training.

Most people have no dreams.

After getting up and having breakfast the next day, Chen Jianchen strode into the study. As soon as he entered, he saw Jiao Na sitting behind the desk. When she saw him coming, her bright eyes flashed and she quickly pretended to turn the pages of the book.!
