Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice (Part 2)


Walking on the empty street, Cheng Mingzhen was at a loss in his eyes.

He knew that some of what Lin County Ling said was not unreasonable, and the Zhou family was wealthy, even if he became a county official, he would not be able to provoke it.

But the silver box in his hand roasted his heart like a charcoal fire, this is the silver obtained by selling his wife, although Lin County Ling explained that this thing was not from the Zhou family, but as a messenger, Lin County Ling must have received the benefits of the Zhou family.

And he agreed to the request of Lin County's order, which is equivalent to signing Xiao Xinghua's deed of sale in disguise.

Thinking of this, he felt that his scalp was striking, and even the eyes of passers-by seemed to be full of contempt.

But what can you do if you are despised, unless you really report the Zhou family for colluding with Li Mi, it will be difficult to shake the other party at all.

And once the report letter is sent, the Zhou family, Lin County Ling, Xiao Xinghua, and Zhu couples, I don't know how many lives will be buried Humiliation, resentment, low self-esteem, all kinds of negative emotions are like countless poisonous snakes, entangled in the hearts of young people.

He couldn't think calmly, couldn't breathe smoothly, and couldn't even hear the footsteps that were rapidly approaching him.

Fortunately, all the people who came were acquaintances, and they surrounded him in the middle, and said with a smile: "What do you want the sect leader to do, so that I have already booked a seat in Xiaoyao Lou for a long time, just wait for the sect leader to drive." ” "Let's go" Cheng Mingzhen suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly tried to squeeze out a smile, "It's too early, it's not noon yet."

"It's okay, anyway, there are no people on the street on a cold day, so there is no need to patrol" Zhou Lihu took over and explained with a smile.

Cheng Mingzhen looked around, and sure enough, he found that the market was vast, and almost all of them closed their doors and windows and hid in their houses to roast the fire.

After a slight groan, he replied in a low voice, "Then go, I'll do the east."

Ermao, why don't you see him?"

"Master Dong took a very important official letter and asked him to send it to the county seat in person.

Wang Zhutou couldn't shirk it, so he had to ask the brothers to apologize to you on his behalf" Jiang Bailing also greeted him and responded with a smile.

"It's all my own brothers, what kind of apologies.

This guy is becoming more and more hypocritical" Cheng Mingzhen guessed that the official letter held by Wang Ermao must be the official letter from Lin County's order recommending him to be the county minister, and his mood was slightly better, shaking his head and counting.

"The king's head is shaking now, and he walks with a figure-out.

When he comes back tomorrow, Cheng Jiaotou will have to clean him up fiercely" The officials got along with Wang Ermao very well, and laughed and handed "slander" to Cheng Mingzhen.

After a few jokes, the cold north wind seemed to be less biting.

Cheng Mingzhen was difficult but the brothers were enthusiastic, and they were surrounded and walked to the most "luxurious" tavern in the county.

The shopkeeper had already learned that it was the young hero who sacrificed his life to save the lives of the old and young in the city was coming, how dare he slack off.

Use all your body skills to urge a dry cook and a guy to jump.

Everyone emptied the entire second floor and laid out three tables full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Not only did the officials from Xiangyong come, but even Jiang Ye, Li Laojiu and other leading figures also rushed forward to join in the fun.

During the banquet, a well-informed person revealed the good news that Cheng Mingzhen was about to be promoted to the county governor of the county, and the brothers became more and more enthusiastic, raising their wine cups one after another, congratulating Cheng Jiao on his second relocation in the first year.

Cheng Mingzhen's heart was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but want to drink a few more.

Whoever comes to the toast of the brethren will not be refused.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 lamps fell into the stomach.

The coldness in the veins was gradually suppressed, and the two eyes let out a happy gaze again.

When everyone saw that he drank so much, they were so impressed that they threw themselves to the ground.

With a little drunkenness, Cheng Mingzhen raised the wine cup proudly and greeted everyone, "Come, let's drink together."

Take care of each other in the future, and rely on each other for blessings and misfortunes."

"Drink together, drink together" The last thing the officials were afraid of was drinking, holding a magnetic cup and responding loudly.

"Brother He Cheng returns safely" fell into his stomach, and Li Laojiu followed closely and asked everyone to fill the wine cup in front of him.

"If you don't drink, you don't give me face" "Lord Cheng of Hexian County has returned safely" Han Gesheng and Duan Qing deliberately attacked each other's arrogance, and bit Cheng Mingzhen's upcoming official title very clearly.

Knowing that Han and Duan were bullying people with Cheng Mingzhen's power, Li Laojiu and Jiang Ye had to swallow the bitter water and wine into their stomachs.

Youdao is a son of heaven and a courtier, and after Wang Ermao became a head catcher, he had already thinned the strength of Guo and Jia.

And Cheng Mingzhen immediately took over as the county leader, and climbed directly to the top of Guo and Jia.

In the future of this Tao County, who wants to continue to walk sideways, I am afraid that they will have to look at Lord Cheng's face first.

If you want to find a reason to drink, you can always find it.

As soon as you sat down, I stood up and saluted each other back and forth.

Cheng Mingzhen was in a bad mood and didn't bother to interfere, and occasionally he raised a wine cup to persuade him, and made up his mind to get drunk to relieve his sorrows.

The winter sun is moving fast, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is already turning west.

The new soldier Cao Jiang Bailing was afraid that the brothers would be too drunk, so he stiffened his head and suggested to everyone: "After drinking the wine in front of you, everyone will disperse."

There are still people on duty at night, don't delay things and embarrass the county lord's face."

"How can there be so many things, the weather is so cold, and the thieves are so cold that they don't dare to come out" Jiang Ye and the others were already drunk, slapping the table and protesting loudly.

"Come again, come again.

Cheng Jiaotou hasn't drunk yet.

Let's get together, don't let Cheng Jiaotou be the boss" Zhou Lihu and the other guys also saw the master who drank and died, and shouted chaotically.

Jiang Bailing wanted to persuade him again, but Li Laojiu stopped him loudly.

"It's rare for everyone to be happy, so if you like it, you can continue to drink it.

Those on night duty can go first on their own.

Let's drink and drink, and we are on duty, and we don't delay."

At this time, everyone wanted to hear Cheng Mingzhen's opinion.

After all, he is the guest of honor at the banquet, and his words are the most authoritative. has already drunk two jars of old wine, Cheng Mingzhen has already drunk his head, and secretly said in his heart: "You can't be thought to be stingy by others as soon as you take office", slapped the table, and commanded proudly, "Let the shopkeeper add some snacks."

It's a cold day, don't go home.

Eat and drink directly here, and then have the spirit to patrol the night."

"Master Cheng" Jiang Bailing hesitated a little, raised his head and looked around.

The brethren had already drunk too much, and one by one they were salivating and staggering.

According to his usual impression, Cheng Jiaotou is a person with a lot of self-control, and he shouldn't be so unrestrained before he wanted to persuade him again, but he was pushed by his elder Jiang Ye and scolded loudly: "You have to go first, don't make trouble for everyone."

It's hard to have a good drink, what kind of eggs are you?"

Jiang Bailing was able to eat in the yamen thanks to the help of his distant uncle Jiang Ye.

Although I felt that it was inappropriate for everyone to continue drinking like this, I had to stand up and say with a smile: "Then I will leave first."

Everyone drink slowly, don't worry about the night patrol.

The security hasn't been very good lately, so it's not a bad thing to be more careful."

"Get out, get out, don't be verbose here" Jiang Ye was so angry that he wanted to kick and kicked out his nephew who had no eyes.

After drinking for more than an hour, Han Gesheng, Duan Qing and the others couldn't support it.

They all stood up and staggered home.

Seeing them leaving, the officials on duty at night also took the opportunity to get up and thanked the proprietor one after another.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Mingzhen rubbed his eyelids vigorously, yawned and proposed, "That's all for today, let's drink it another day."

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to get drunk."

"Then what's the matter, I haven't been on duty yet, what are you going to do when you go back so early" Li Laojiu was still not satisfied, and he protested loudly on the table with his legs.

"Poor, almost.

If you don't go back, the wind will be cold" Jiang Ye was already happy, and responded in a daze.

"You're afraid of your wife, it's hard to explain if you go back late," Li Lao said with drunken eyes and staring at Jiang Ye.

"Cheng, Brother Cheng and I, but we are all singles, so we don't have to go home so early" Jiang Ye was very unhappy with these words, and couldn't help but step forward and push him, "you, don't chew your tongue."

Brother Cheng is still young, why should a husband have no wife?"

With a push, Li Laojiu poured down, and the person was already rolling on the ground, but he still drunkenly returned his mouth, "Bullshit."

That little lady hates the poor and loves the rich, and has already climbed the high branches.

Brother Cheng treated her infatuatedly, but she didn't have long eyes."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you" Hearing this, Jiang Ye's drunkenness was half frightened, and he reached out and pulled Li Laojiu up, slapped it fiercely, and stopped it loudly.

I don't know if it's really drunk or fake drunk, Li Laojiu's mouth can't be retracted anymore after he opens his mouth.

"That's it, I feel unwilling for Brother Cheng.

His surname is Zhou, but he has a few stinky money, but he can't bully us I heard that Brother Cheng went out of the city on the front foot, and he took Brother Cheng's woman to his home on the back foot.

I don't care that Brother Cheng is still working hard outside."

At the moment, there were only three or two people left in the seat, and they were all so drunk that they lost their minds.

Relying on the courage to rely on the wine, Zhou Lihu jumped forward and grabbed Li Laojiu's collar, "What nonsense are you talking about, whoever dares to bully Master Cheng and bully Cheng Jiaotou is equivalent to bullying all of us."

"I, I didn't" Li Laojiu's words were obviously on his lips, but he didn't dare to say it anymore.

Drunken eyes swept around, and closed his mouth tightly.

Cheng Mingzhen has been depressed about Xinghua for a whole day, and he is most afraid of being mentioned in public.

Suddenly, I heard Li Laojiu say that there was still an inside story, and the nameless karmic fire in his stomach couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table hard, and ordered loudly: "Da Zhou, let go."

Let Brother Li make it clear.

What the hell is going on, what the hell did the surname Zhou do?"

"Well, I've heard about it.

Wang Zhutou knows best, you'd better ask him" Li Laojiu glanced at Cheng Mingzhen with a wince, and muttered in a low voice.

At this point, Cheng Mingzhen was still in a hurry, slapping the table hard, and kept urging, "Say it quickly, say it quickly, what the hell is going on Ermao comes back, I will naturally find him to verify again" Li Laojiu was forced to be helpless, so he had to tell the truth in a hurry.

It turned out that everyone thought that the city was about to be unsecured that day, so the big households with a little head and face all ran to the Zhou family to take refuge in the fortress in the city.

The fort is known as the "city within the city", although the wall is slightly shorter than the outer outline of Guantao County, the material is glutinous rice soup and triple soil, which is as hard as iron.

Even if Guantao County was unfortunately breached, with the help of Jiading, it would not be difficult for the Zhou Mansion to hold out for another ten days and half a month.

Zhu Wanzhang didn't know what the relationship was, but he also took his family to live in the "city within a city".

As a result, it is said that the day before he just entered, the next day his daughter Xinghua rolled to the same room with the second son of the Zhou family.

After the crisis, Zhu Wanzhang had no choice but to reluctantly marry his daughter to the son of Tuesday as a concubine, so as not to humiliate the family.

"Apricot blossom, apricot blossom is not, not that kind of person is not" Cheng Mingzhen only felt that the world was spinning, and he defended loudly out of instinct.

In his memory, although his cousin Xiao Xinghua is a little bolder, she is also from a serious family, and she should never do anything to be apathetic.

Although my cousin Xinghua has a worse temper, she is as clear and jade as the snow outside the window.

"What is impossible, if you don't take the initiative to send it to the door, the Zhou family will despise her so much I heard that on Tuesday, the son was married for only three days, and he started prostituting outside again.

His good friend lives in the alley next to Xiaoyao Building, and his butt can be bigger than half a room" Since Li Laojiu had already spoken, Zhou Lihu no longer tried his best to hide it, patted the table, and said indignantly.

"Cheap, cheap," a few minions who were already drunk under the table summed up loudly.

The sound was slapped on Cheng Mingzhen's face like a slap.

"Yes, that woman is a cheap," Li Laojiu was indignant.

But she was also retribution, she didn't see the big house, and became a concubine first.

The man also went around stealing and never came home until the middle of the night."

"Guilty of cheapness", the vague voices of the officials kept repeating in Cheng Mingzhen's ears.

Xinghua gave him up and went to marry such a rotten person.

He didn't expect it to be like this.

But there was no pleasure of revenge in his heart.

Xinghua has never been wronged since she was a child, and married into the Zhou family, but she was not regarded as a person by the other party.

This bullshit Zhou Gongzi is really his grandmother's owe to clean up As if he had a soul in his heart, the archer Jiang Ye just leaned his head over and said mysteriously: "Actually, the one surnamed Zhou is underwhelmed."

Otherwise, let's take advantage of the darkness to touch the past, teach him a lesson, and also vent the evil anger to Brother Cheng."

It's time to beat him up.

Cheng Mingzhen's heart swelled up with an irrepressible impulse.

The opportunity to vent is close at hand, even if it is not for yourself, for the sake of Xiao Xinghua, you should do it.

But Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was wrong.

Almost all the brothers who knew him well left, and those who were left behind, whether they were drunk or awake, were almost all the disciples and grandchildren of Jiang Ye and Li Laojiu.

Some people left because they had to patrol the night, but some people were squeezed away by Jiang Ye and Li Laojiu in various ways.

"I, I can't trouble everyone," the young man sat down slowly.
