Liu Biping didn't like hearing this.
He had a headache when he heard what happened today.
Shen Chen was difficult to deal with.
This was not something to be happy about.
He glanced at Mrs.
Liu with a cold face: "You are asking about things outside all day long, but you are not busy enough at home."
Such cold words had never happened before, and Mrs.
Liu was stunned for a moment.
But Liu Biping didn't even look at her.
He stood up and went out directly.
He coldly said that he was going to the study and let her rest.
Mrs.
Liu was shocked, and only felt sad after she realized what she was doing.
After being married for so many years, Liu Biping didn't give her any face today.
He knew clearly that her sister had just died and she was in a bad mood.
He completely forgot that today was her birthday.
She felt a little aggrieved, so she simply went to bed feeling frustrated.
But at this time, there were still people who stayed up all night.
The posthouse in Rongcheng is very unique.
It is built under a huge camphor tree.
The camphor tree is so huge that even the branches are much thicker than the trunks next to it, and the exposed roots can also be as big as We climbed up a small tree, and there were many squirrels making nests on it.
From time to time they emerged from the thick branches, curiously tilting their heads and looking at the brightly lit yard.
Because there are many trees and flowers, there are also relatively many mosquitoes.
Yi Cheng carefully delivered insecticides and reported to the imperial envoy first: "Everything around us is good, but the island has lots of water and trees.
There are too many mosquitoes, so please forgive me."
Shen Chen smiled and said it was okay, and praised the tree for growing well.
Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and could let go of his hands and feet.
When he heard Shen Chen praising the tree, he hurriedly said: "This tree has been there for many years.
I heard that it has been there since my grandfather was not born. , it has been struck by thunder several times over the years, but it seems to be okay.
It keeps coming and going, and the government will not allow it to be chopped down.
When the post house was built, it was not touched.
Many people still come here to make wishes. " Shen Chen snorted and said with a smile: "That's really an outstanding person."
Yi Cheng rubbed his hands and smiled, wanting to leave.
However, Shen Chen stopped him and said softly: "Let's have a cup of tea together.
We have been busy for so long and it is hard work."
Yi Cheng was a little flattered.
He looked at Shen Chen and didn't dare to touch them for a long time.
Those who were Yi Cheng and post soldiers, to be honest, they were not good at all.
Who would take them seriously?
Even in a large post house, people would bow their heads when they see an official.
But now, this great imperial envoy from the imperial court, even the ministers have to salute him, but he is so approachable and even allows him to sit down and chat with him.
After drinking tea, he came to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands and said he didn't dare.
Shen Chen smiled and said very gently: "What's wrong with this?
I'm just here for the first time and I don't know much about Rongcheng.
Since you are a native of Rongcheng, I have something to ask you."

The imperial envoy had such a good attitude that Yi Cheng did not dare to refuse, so he leaned forward and leaned a little closer to the edge of the stool to sit down.
He stood up restlessly and stretched out his hand to hold the tea cup.
He hurriedly said to Shen Chen, "You have no idea?"
Please feel free to ask whatever you want, but don’t offend me.”
Shen Chen hummed and asked him as soon as he opened his mouth: "I'll just ask you something you can tell me."
Yi Cheng was stunned, smiled unnaturally, and scratched his head.
"I heard that there is a saying here that they are the Four Great Masters."
Shen Chen seemed to be curious.
He turned the cup and slapped it on the table.
He looked at Yi Cheng casually as if chatting: "They are all very powerful. " Awesome is naturally awesome.
Yi Cheng thought for a while and felt that everyone knew these things and could talk about them, so he nodded.
Shen Chen then asked again: "Can you tell me which four major families they are specifically?"
It is easy to inquire about these things.
Yi Cheng hummed and told him honestly: "There is a saying in our local area, and they all say that King Xu Liu and Chen" He tilted his head and thought for a while, then told Shen Chen: "These four families all have boats at home.
Except for them, no one dares to transport goods to the sea.
There are pirates and bandits everywhere.
These four families More people means more money.”
Shen Chen snorted and said meaningfully: "I see, then when we were worshiping Mazu today, why didn't these four families see anyone?"
Logically speaking, since they also made their fortune through shipping, they should also pay attention to Poseidon.
Yi Cheng said: "This time, the Chen family is organizing the grand ceremony to worship Mazu.
Every year, we take turns writing money in the houses of the big families.
Later, the big families just discussed it and agreed that each family is responsible for organizing all the sacrifices within a year.
The ceremony happens to be the Chen family’s turn this year.”
Chen family?
Shen Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said thoughtfully: "But I haven't seen anyone from the Chen family there."
Yi Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh and laugh along.
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows, but then asked him: "Such a big thing happened.
Since it was the Chen family, the Chen family should stand up and deal with it, but they didn't make any move.
After knowing that I wanted to investigate the case, No one came to see me, isn’t that strange?”
Yi Cheng had no choice but to answer, but he didn't feel comfortable saying anything.
He said with a grimace, "Perhaps the Chen family feels that this matter has not been officially tried yet, so we should wait until the trial begins."
Shen Chen hummed and said with an unclear smile: "Maybe."
He smiled again: "I'm tired after talking for so long.
I haven't eaten for so long, so I won't disturb you.
You are busy.
Go ahead.”
The postmaster finally waited for such a sentence, and stood up happily in a hurry: "Yes, it has been a long journey, sir.
Please eat and rest early.
The postmaster will deliver the food later."
Shen Chen nodded, and Yi Cheng left in a hurry.
As soon as the Yi Cheng left, Xuesong and Hanbo couldn't help but said: "There should be Liu Biping's eyeliners everywhere in Rongcheng, but this Yi Cheng looks honest." honest Maybe it's honesty.
Shen Chen smiled and stood up: "Please tell the people below to be careful.
Although we are already in Rongcheng, we can kill people in other provinces.
Who knows if something more outrageous will happen?

We have already arrived.
It’s your home base, don’t still fall short.”
Xuesong and Hanbo looked at each other and responded breathlessly.
Shen Chen opened the door and went straight to the residence of Mrs.
Wei and Wei An upstairs in the nearby courtyard.
They live on the second floor.
There are flower trees outside the corridor.
The purple and red are mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
Coupled with the autumn evening breeze, it is very leisurely and comfortable.
Shen Chen took a look, frowned, and looked at Wenxiu.
