In the gloomy room, the light of the candlestick seemed to be afraid of the darkness outside, and only dared to use its own faint light to illuminate the vicissitudes of life in front of the case.

He is said to be an old man, but he is not too old. It's just because of the twilight of the whole body that it looks quite old.

Suddenly, an invisible shadow flashed outside the window, and it seemed that even the lights flickered.

"You're here."

The old man said lightly.

Voiceless. After two breaths, the door slowly opened, and a dark shadow emerged from the darkness.

The old man was not afraid at all, and asked, "How is it?" ”

In the voice, a hint of suppressed anticipation can be heard.

The black shadow stared at the old man quietly, but the old man couldn't see his face.

"Failed."

The voice of the black shadow was deep, deep.

"Oh."

The old man was silent for a long time, and then his voice returned to silence. The paused pen swam again on the ink paper, writing the last two words in the last place.

Closing it together and stacking it on top of the desk, it was only then that he looked up at the black shadow, as if trying to see his face. But nothing else could be seen except in the darkness and haze.

"Go back and tell your lordship that I know what to do......"

The shadow didn't reply, but the old man knew he could help him bring the words.

"I just ask that adults can take care of my family and let them live!"

After the old man finished speaking, seeing that the black shadow had no intention of leaving, he smiled brightly, then picked up a bowl of tea on the side of the desk and took a sip......

The shadow's body, which had not moved since entering the room, seemed to tremble.

After drinking tea, the old man didn't pay attention to the others, and continued to work on the official documents.

The shadow bowed to the old man, and then disappeared into the room as if it had never appeared.

Time continued to flow, and suddenly, a scarlet liquid slowly overflowed from the corner of the mouth of the old man who was giving instructions on official documents, and he didn't seem to be aware of it, just twisted his brows, and continued to want to finish writing the last comment of his life.

However, in the end, it could not be satisfied. The scarlet liquid continued to flow, eventually pooling into a drop in the jaw and falling on top of the official document, obscuring the old man's blurred eyes.

Amazingly, it's a bloodstain!

The old man had to give up his last wish, and slowly lay on his back on the Taishi's chair, recalling all kinds of things in his mind.

The apprehension of apprenticeship in the school, the longing for the book in the examination room, and the ambition of being an official for a time......

Finally, it is the innocent smiling face of the grandson. With a faint smile, he closed his eyes.

……

Today is another good day.

After a cold winter, God was finally willing to let Sister Sun come out and show her blushing face.

"Haha, you two little fools, lose again, get the money!"

On the board of the second floor of the official ship, Jia Qing's voice was carried away.

On top of the board, there is a small table. At this time, the three of them sat around and played the famous game of catching thieves in Jiafu.

Next to it, there were also a few onlookers.

"Humph!"

Since ancient times, gambling money has been made by some people happy and some worried. No, one of the "little fools" slammed the cards on the table and then looked to the side, clearly not ready to make money......

Another little fool Qingwen is not so bold, or the gambling is better, although she also pouted, but she still obediently handed over the ten copper plates, but she was still unconvinced: "No, you must have cheated, otherwise how can your cards be so good, I don't even have a card......"

Jia Qingle took the money and said casually: "That's you stupid, no wonder I ......"

Then he stared at the person who was paying the debt, and seeing that she pretended not to see it, Jia Qing stood up and prepared to take the loot he deserved.

"Zijuan, help me hold it!"

The debtor was shocked, and finally turned his head, and said to the maid next to him while reaching out to intercept Jia Qing's money-grabbing claw.

Zijuan was more obedient, and without saying a word, she picked up the exquisite money storage box on the table and held it in her arms.

Only then did the debtor breathe a sigh of relief, sat back in his seat, and looked at Jia Qing defiantly.

Jia Qing sat down dejectedly and complained: "Sister Lin, you are so laid!" Do your own calculations, how much money have you relied on me for the past two days?

I said that I was not allowed to repay the debt, so I will play with you! And now again, hmph, never play with untrustworthy people like you again! ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and was about to speak, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the front, so she changed her words and said, "Are you in Yangzhou again......"

Jia Qing just looked back and said, "Yes, I'm in Yangzhou again." ”

Suddenly, Jia Qing stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and looked into the distance.

The others watched Jia Qing's abnormal movements and walked over slowly.

After a while, the official ship slowly slowed down. Jia Qing and the others also saw the obstacles in front of them.

In the center of the wide river, two small boats stand side by side, standing quietly.

What's even more strange is that in the middle of the two ships, a huge banner sways in the air, swaying with the breeze.

When he got closer, he saw the words on it clearly, and Jia Qing couldn't help but darken his face.

Who the did this?!

On the top of this banner, there are sixteen huge italicized characters clearly written:

Greedy for money and lustful

Abuse

Perverting the law for personal gain

In vain as a child prodigy

Several girls on the boat also saw it, and after thinking about it, Qingwen asked, "Second master, is this talking about you?" ”

Jia Qing said with a gloomy face: "What do you say? ”

Who knows, Qingwen immediately said: "These people are so hateful, they actually slander the second master so much!"

Second master, you quickly arrest them all and hit the board! ”

When Jia Qing heard this, his heart was warm, and he looked at Qingwen and said, "It's still Qingwen's girl!" Knowing that the second master is a good person, he will still hold grievances for me. ”

Daiyu Zijuan and the girls naturally believed that Jia Qing was definitely not the kind of person mentioned above. However, if it was out of thin air, how could these people dare to slander Jia Qing like this? Jia Qing is now a Qincha!

Besides, in this case, they have only heard of it in the play, it is the officials who force the poor people to be anxious, so they will do this kind of thing to block the road and "redress grievances". What's going on here?

Several other ships in the same boat also spotted the obstacle ahead and slowed down.

Downstairs on the official ship, Director Zheng hurried to the head, looked at the situation in front of him, and was shocked, and then shouted loudly:

"Who is so bold that he dares to intercept Qin Chaluan, and is he not afraid of killing his head?"

Seeing that no one responded, Director Zheng turned his head and was about to ask Zhao Baihu on the frigate to send someone forward to arrest someone, when suddenly a voice came from the opposite ship:

"I'm not intercepting Qin Chaluan, I'm just here to ask a corrupt official, a traitorous official, or a bad official for an explanation!"

"Bold!!"

Director Zheng snorted, and then said to Zhao Baihu, who was also paying attention to the movements here: "Please also ask Lord Zhao to take down all these madmen!" ”

"Hahahaha, my lord is so powerful! However, to disappoint the adults, I'm the only one here! ”

On the other side, a disdainful voice was heard.

"Is this man crazy?" Upstairs, Daiyu looked at Jia Qing and asked.

Jia Qing looked into the distance, this is the wharf of the canal in Yangzhou, which is very spacious. There are also several restaurants and teahouses facing the river on both sides.

As far as the eye can see, there are many people watching at this time!

"He's not crazy, he's inviting a name to buy a straight one."

Jia Qing said lightly. Hehe, I didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to step on his head.

"Let him talk!" Seeing that Zhao Baihu's ship was already moving forward, Jia Qing didn't see a happy and angry voice.
