Chen Bing was curious and listened for a while. He originally wanted to go out and watch the excitement, but then he thought that his father and brother had gone fishing. He could never leave his pregnant mother alone at home, so he gave up.

I had the idea of ​​going out to watch the excitement.

She returned to the kitchen, ate some steamed cakes and drank two mouthfuls of white porridge, and then filled her stomach first. Then she picked out two larger steamed cakes and went to the chicken coop in the backyard.

She was so happy that she found two freshly laid eggs. She hurriedly went back to the kitchen to fry two poached eggs and sandwiched them into the steamed cakes with slits. Chen Bing placed the steamed cakes on a wooden tray with a bowl of white porridge.

He brought it to Ye Meiniang's house.

After about half an hour, Chen Bing, who had finished serving Ye Meiniang after eating and washing, had just pushed a Tai Chi hand, when there were rapid knocks on the door in front of the hospital. Chen Bing was impatient and thought...

Who could be so rude? Even though she was just making such a fuss, she still had to open the door. She stopped her Tai Chi gesture, opened the door, and was startled when she saw the person coming. The person at the door saw Chen Bing.

Also stunned, the two of them said in unison: "It's you?!"

The person who came was none other than the county captain of Changxing County, Cao Zhiyi Cao County Lieutenant.

Although Cao Zhiyi was on good terms with Liu Fu and had some friendship with Liu Zhiyuan, he was still an official after all. Chen Bing hurriedly wished him a blessing. Cao Zhiyi helped her up and said happily: "So I saved County Magistrate Zhang's daughter.

The person with my niece is you, little lady! Then Liu Zhixing, Liu Zhixing, since he knew it was you, he didn’t tell me in advance, so I should be prepared!"

Chen Bing was confused by what Cao Zhiyi said, thinking that even I myself was saved by Zhixing, how could I save the Zhang sisters. When she heard the noise outside again, she tilted her head slightly and saw Cao Zhiyi

Something was wrong with the formation behind her. It seemed like there were many strangers coming towards her. Her scalp was numb and she hurriedly asked Cao Zhiyi: "Master Cao, are these many people outside..."

Cao Zhiyi still smiled happily and said to Chen: "Oh, those are the servants in the Changxing County Yamen. County Magistrate Zhang came here from the city, and these people are used to clear the way."

After that, he glanced behind him, took a step forward, and whispered to Chen Bing: "County Magistrate Zhang came here to pick up his daughter, and secondly, he wanted to thank Er Niang for saving his daughter."

Yes, it's just a pity that Zhang Shubi has a very stubborn temper. No matter what County Magistrate Zhang said, she was unwilling to come together. She said that she couldn't get used to living in this rural place and wanted to go home early. Magistrate Zhang had no choice but to send someone

I will escort the two sisters back to the county first. Hey, I hope you can forgive me."

Chen Bing didn't care about this, but he felt quite funny in his heart. He thought: "Oh, it seems that Zhang Shubi was making a lot of noise in Yueliu Garden last night. Hehe, Zhixing's expression at that time was even worse than after eating coptis.

It’s ugly. Hey, I really want to see what he looked like back then!”

However, she naturally would not reveal Chen Bing's thoughts, so she spoke openly to Cao Zhiyi: "Of course I understand what Mr. Cao said, but..." Chen Bing changed the subject and said, "Just

However, my family is from the countryside, and the house is not very big to accommodate the many servants outside. Moreover, there is not much good tea or snacks in the house to entertain County Magistrate Zhang. I am afraid that I will neglect it. Alas, saving people is just a little effort.

"Why bother saying thank you?" The implication is that my family is small and cannot accommodate the giant Buddha like Magistrate Zhang. If you want to thank me, I understand it. As for coming, I'd better not come.

However, Cao Zhiyi did not understand the meaning of Chen Bing's words at all, but said: "That doesn't matter. Magistrate Zhang is a very unscrupulous person. If you have arranged everything, you will pay the most expensive price. On the contrary, he will be unhappy."

Cao Zhiyi had just finished saying this, and the group of guards who were playing and playing had already arrived in front of the door. This was the second time Chen Bing saw such a formation of guards. The last time he saw them was on the day he was kidnapped, but There were so many people watching that day that she couldn't see anything clearly. This time it was right in front of her door, and she could see clearly.

I saw that everyone in this group of officers straightened their backs, and their orders were uniform, and they were lined up in two rows. It was obvious that these people had been trained on weekdays.

On the outside of the team, many people from Huahu Village gathered to watch the excitement. Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that the Chen family must have done something great to get the patronage of the county magistrate. Of course, there were also gossips behind their backs. People said that the Chen family had done something unjust and unreasonable

The county magistrate was here to arrest people. People in the village had different opinions, but fortunately, most people thought that the Chen family had done a good thing. And having the county magistrate come to Huahu Village also felt good.

Suddenly there was a sound of drums from behind the team, and the group of officers took a step back to both sides to make way for a path in the middle. At this time, they were wearing green official uniforms, slightly fat, with a small chin left. A man with a beard and about forty-five years old slowly walked towards Chen Bing. And walking beside him was Liu Zhiyuan. However, he was not wearing official uniform, but still wearing his official uniform. A blue gown.

The two of them crossed the threshold of the courtyard gate. Magistrate Zhang looked Chen Bing up and down, smiled slightly and said, "Are you Chen Bing, the second mother of the Chen family?"

Chen Bing answered "Yes" and took a step forward. Just as he was about to kneel down to salute, he was supported by Liu Zhiyuan who was standing beside him and said, "Since he is the savior of County Magistrate Zhang, there is no need to perform such a big salute."

Magistrate Zhang squinted his eyes, nodded with a smile and said: "What Zhixing said is that Er Niang is my little daughter's savior, so there is no need to pay such a big gift, and I don't pay attention to these vain things."

Chen Bing could only lean back slightly and led the three of them into the main hall. Chen Bing asked Magistrate Zhang to sit at the head, and added a cup of rice soup to each of the three people. After serving a plate of fresh loquats, Chen Bing sat on the table. He came to Liu Zhiyuan's side and said to County Magistrate Zhang: "Dad and brother went out to fish and were not at home. My mother is still pregnant, so it is inconvenient for her to go out to meet foreigners. My family is poor and we don't have much decent refreshments. We just Some of the rice soup and wild fruits are from the countryside. I hope Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cao won’t be offended.” Xin

County Magistrate Zhang took a mouthful of rice soup and found it refreshing and sweet. He secretly praised Chen Bing in his heart. In addition, Chen Bing's words just now were quite appropriate, and he felt more favorable towards her. He said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. Come on, I just want to come here today to see what kind of little hero he is. The little heroine saved my Bi'er. When I see him, he is really a hero!"

After that, he winked at Cao Zhiyi. Cao Zhiyi understood, got up and left the yard. After a moment, he led two servants and pushed a small cart into the yard, and the cart was filled with various gifts.

Chen Bing turned his head and looked at Liu Zhiyuan beside him, but Liu Zhiyuan shook his head slightly and said nothing more. Cao Zhiyi entered the room, bowed his hands to Magistrate Zhang, and then sat back down.

Magistrate Zhang pointed to the car filled with gifts outside the door and said: "I don't know what my mother likes, so in a hurry I had to prepare some small gifts to express my gratitude. Oh! I hope you will." Mom, don’t refuse, don’t refuse.”

After County Magistrate Zhang had spoken, Chen Bing had no nerve to refuse. She stood up, said a blessing to Magistrate Zhang Yingying, and said generously: "Thank you so much for your love, Lord Zhang. The daughter of the people is more respectful than to obey." I accepted these gifts."

Magistrate Zhang was very happy, clapped his hands, and thought to himself: "This little lady is really a smart person. Ordinary village girls would be so frightened that they couldn't even speak when they met an official. But she not only answered me fluently, but also responded to her questions fluently." Take what I say calmly. I have been an official for nearly twenty years, and I have rarely seen such a country girl. Hey, it would be great if my Bi'er could be as smart as her."

He sighed repeatedly in his heart, stretched out his hand and waved away the two guards at the door, and said to Chen Bing: "The so-called wise daughter is Mo Ruofu, my Bi'er is naughty by nature, and when my second mother rescued her, I thought she would cause trouble to her. "

Chen Bing just smiled at County Magistrate Zhang without saying anything, giving him acquiescence.

Magistrate Zhang sighed in embarrassment and said: "If Bi'er was disrespectful, I am here to apologize on her behalf. Alas, her mother left early, and I was busy with official duties and did not renew the relationship. Bi'er She is my only daughter, so I give her all my love. As long as it is what she wants, I will try my best to satisfy her. I usually neglect to discipline her, but I also indulge a little and dote on her. Some."

Chen Bing sneered in his heart, thinking that you were not only a little indulgent and pampered, but Yun Niang and I almost died at her hands. Thinking of this, Chen Bing said unceremoniously: "Master Zhang, With all due respect, my concubine has grown up in this honeypot since she was a child, and has been cared for so well by you. She doesn’t know how dangerous the outside world is. She thinks that as long as she tells her father’s name, she can calm her down. live

Everyone, scare away all the monsters and monsters. Mr. Zhang, if you can’t make some changes, she will suffer more and suffer greater hardships in the future. Mr. Zhang, it’s still too late to change now, and it will be too late if you do not make some changes. Already."

Although Chen Bing's words were harsh, they were true to his heart. Cao Zhiyi secretly praised them after hearing them. Magistrate Zhang sighed and said, "What Er Niang said is right. Hey, to tell you the truth, just in Bi Two nights before Yi'er and Yi'er were kidnapped, Bi'er had a big fight with me because of this issue of rules. She said that she never wanted to see her father again. I was very angry at the time and said the same. After some harsh words, she and I broke up on bad terms that night. Early the next morning, Bi'er and Yi'er were about to go out. I asked her where she was going, and she said she was going to the cemetery in the south of the city to see her mother. She wanted to sue me in front of my mother. After she said that, she pulled Yi'er out of the yamen. I was worried, but I was busy with official duties and it was inconvenient to leave. So I sent two young men with some martial arts skills to follow behind to protect them. When it was Shenchu ​​time, the two of them had not come back. I was anxious, and did not care about official business or not, so I took the people to Nancheng. When I arrived at the Nancheng cemetery, I saw the two boys I sent there had collapsed. He was standing in front of my wife’s tombstone. She had been dead for a long time. In front of the tomb, valuable incense and candles were piled up haphazardly. It was obvious that she was accidentally abducted while the two of them were preparing to worship."

Hearing this, Chen Bingxin said: "It turns out that the Zhang sisters were kidnapped like this. It's completely different from what I originally thought. But this doesn't make sense. It's strange." Chen Bingxin She was thoughtful, but she didn't listen at all to what County Magistrate Zhang said next.

After a few people sat for a while with a cup of tea, Magistrate Zhang stood up and said, "Er Niang, there are still some official matters to be handled in this yamen, so I won't bother you anymore and will go back to Changxing."

Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief and sent Magistrate Zhang to the gate of the courtyard. Magistrate Zhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, the carriage is right outside the door. Don't send it off. If you have free time in the future, come to the county government office more often." Sit down." After saying that, he and Cao Zhiyi got into the car and left Huahu Village.
