Seeing Zheng Haichuan's embarrassment, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled: "Master Superintendent, as long as you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Could it be that you are also helping the Qi family to feel sorry for me?"
uncle?"
"No, no, Beizhi has nothing to do with Brother Wen Yu. After all, Beizhi is just an outsider in the Qi family, so why bother him."
Zheng Haichuan waved his hand quickly.
"That's right. Governor Zheng is a smart man. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him and said, "It's better to recuperate in prison. After Wu Enrong's case is thoroughly investigated, he can continue to serve in the state capital."
With that said, he ordered Guan Erbai: "Guan Siyuan, clean up a separate torture room. Don't neglect Zheng Duyou."
"I humble my position and take orders."
At this moment, Guan Erbai's attitude towards Zheng Haichuan improved a lot, and he politely said: "Please, Mr. Postal Supervisor."
After saying that, he asked the jailer to help Zheng Haichuan go to the prison room.
Waiting for Zheng Haichuan to be taken away, Lin Jinxiao walked calmly to Chu Nanzhi. Seeing her tired face, he felt very distressed. A warm smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Can you feel at ease now?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled and nodded.
Now that such a secret has been unearthed from Zheng Haichuan's mouth, it is enough to punish Wu Enrong, and the matter of Taigong Zhao has also been revealed, and the huge stone weighing on his heart has finally become lighter.
"go home."
Lin Jinxiao used the crutches and pulled her outside.
When the group of people arrived outside the Dexian Lieutenant's Mansion, a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the red sky covered the entire earth with a layer of golden color.
"If you don't go out for the morning glow, the sunset will travel a thousand miles."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the indifferent Lin Jinxiao with a delighted smile, and said happily: "I'm afraid it's going to rain."
"rain?"
When everyone heard the news, they all cheered ecstatically: "It's finally going to rain."
After a long drought, rain comes, and this rain really comes at the right time.
Lin Jinxiao looked up at the extremely gorgeous sky and couldn't help showing a look of joy.
Now that the big event has been decided, the autumn rain has arrived, which can be said to be even more joyful.
He threw away his crutches in excitement, pulled Chu Nanzhi and ran to the carriage: "Let's go, I will take you to a place."
Chu Nanzhi subconsciously picked up the crutches and followed him into the carriage. Seeing that both of them were in high spirits, Sang Qi let out a long yawn, summoned up the energy to whip the horse, and galloped towards the south of the city according to Lin Jinxiao's guidance.
.
Chu Nanzhi looked at his mysterious look and asked curiously: "Lin Dalang, where are you taking me?"
Lin Jinxiao touched her sluggish belly and replied with a smile: "You must be exhausted after a long night of hard work. Of course I will take you to eat. After filling your stomach, we can go home to rest, and we will go to Puluo'an."
"Why do you have to go to the south of the city to eat?"
Chu Nanzhi looked puzzled.
"You'll know when you go there."
Lin Jinxiao refused to say more.
The carriage continued southward and stopped at the south gate of the city.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I smelled a strong and fragrant smell.
Lin Jinxiao pulled Chu Nanzhi straight inside and sat down in front of a somewhat old noodle shop.
The store owner was a stooped middle-aged man. Seeing so many soldiers, he immediately came over with fear.
It wasn't until he saw Lin Jinxiao that his tense expression relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Lin Langjun. I haven't seen him for several months. How is Lin Langjun doing lately?"
He didn't know Lin Jinxiao's name, he only knew that he was a minor official in the county government.
Lin Jinxiao motioned for Li Ce and Yin Liuxuan to lead the guards to sit aside, and replied to the store owner with a warm smile: "The county has been busy with official duties recently, so I have no time to come over. Today I have some free time, so I thought I would come and take care of the store business. I am still the third child."
, I ask the store owner to prepare more."
"Enough care, enough care."
The shop owner returned to the work room with a smile and started to get busy.
Not long after, I saw him walking out with a young girl carrying some food.
While placing the food, the shopkeeper looked at Chu Nanzhi and asked hesitantly: "I guess this lady must be Madam Langjun?"
"Exactly."
Lin Jinxiao took the dishes in his hand, placed them in front of Chu Nanzhi, and explained in a gentle voice:
"My father often took me to this shop when I was young. He would leave early and come home late every day. He always wanted to care about me more, but he used all the money from his salary to help the poor people in the county. There was nothing left in his pocket.
I am always short of money and often can only have a few pennies in my hand, so I thought of bringing me here to eat."
Glancing at the shopkeeper who was staggering back into the house, he continued: "The breakfast made in this shop is not only delicious, but also very filling for just one penny. In the past few years, when I was on duty at the county government, I often came here alone.
Here."
After speaking, he handed the chopsticks to Chu Nanzhi's hand and said, "Try it."
Chu Nanzhi picked up the chopsticks hesitantly and stared at the fragrant scallion pancakes, white porridge, and a plate of side dishes on the table, feeling suddenly sour in her heart.
If there is really no comparison, there will be no harm.
He came here every day to eat a penny-a-ton breakfast, while the original owner went to the teahouse and ate expensive mutton cakes without batting an eyelid.
I took a bite of the scallion pancake he handed me. The crispy texture, mixed with the rich aroma of meat, was indeed a delicacy in the world.
"tasty."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but praise.
What was seen in his eyes was not the slightest complaint, but an expression of awe.
She could roughly understand why Lin Jinxiao brought her here.
The boy doesn't know his true identity at the moment and only regards Lin Tingshu as his biological father.
The late County Magistrate Lin worked hard to benefit the people during his tenure and was remembered forever. Judging from Lin Jinxiao's series of actions after taking office, he undoubtedly hoped to become a good official who benefited the poor people like his father.
If he had only liked and admired him before, he must have regarded himself as the same kind of person now.
Lin Jinxiao felt even more happy when he saw that she was eating the scallion pancake with gusto. He put some side dishes into her bowl and warned her kindly: "Eat it with the side dishes and porridge, it will be more delicious."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi obediently put a few green vegetables into her mouth, and the refreshing coolness immediately spread in her mouth, making her feel refreshed.
She was filled with emotion, but she pretended not to know and asked deliberately: "Lin Dalang, we have known each other for so long, why did you suddenly think of bringing me here for breakfast?"
Lin Jinxiao casually wrapped some side dishes into the scallion pancake, took a bite, and took another sip of porridge. He chewed it slowly and swallowed it. He slowly raised his ice-like eyes and smiled slightly: "Because you are not only mine.
Princess, and we are the same kind of people."
Chu Nanzhi closed her eyes happily, very satisfied with this answer.
It was just as expected.
It seems that he now fully recognizes himself, not just out of liking.
