Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Qinzhou Prefecture.

Chen Lang opened the window and looked out. The downstairs was crowded with people.

Xiao Qi at the door carefully opened a crack in the door, took a look outside, and quickly closed the door.

"Master, what should we do?" Xiao Qi said worriedly, "It's been two days, and these people haven't dispersed yet."

"It's just an article, what's the big deal?"

Chen Lang opened his bag and took out some beef jerky to share with Xiao Qi.

"Eat first."

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "Master, I'm not hungry."

"Nonsense, you haven't eaten for a whole day." Chen Lang stuffed the beef jerky into Xiao Qi's hand. "Don't worry, they will definitely disperse after two more days. Then we can leave immediately."

Xiao Qi stared at the beef jerky for a long time, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he bit it hard.

He mistook the beef jerky for the group of scholars outside who were causing trouble.

Chen Lang tore the beef jerky into small strips and slowly stuffed them into his mouth.

The current situation was somewhat unexpected for Chen Lang.

I originally thought that it would take at least four or five days for the essay for the college entrance examination to be released, but unexpectedly, the essay was released the day after my literary debate with Ke Jin and others.

The students from Qinzhou Prefecture, who had admired Chen Lang immensely and called him "Little Poet" the day before, immediately changed their attitude and scolded Chen Lang as a remnant of the Shang Party.

Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the angry students came to the inn where Chen Lang was staying and wanted to teach him a lesson.

At the beginning, Chen Lang could still patiently debate with these students, but as more and more people came and the shouts grew louder, Chen Lang realized that something was wrong and decisively hid back in the house.

I originally wanted to repeat the same trick and jump out of the window to run away, but when I opened the window, I saw that there were people below.

The group of people who had brought the good news also shared Chen Lang's escape route with these students.

At this point, the "bloody storm" mentioned by Cui Yan officially began.

Fortunately, these students still had some dignity. They just blocked the door, not letting Chen Lang out, nor letting the waiter in to deliver food.

He tried to use this method to "force" Chen Lang out of the house.

In the past two days, Chen Lang and Xiao Qi have been relying on the beef jerky they brought from home.

But the beef jerky can only last for one more day at most, which is why Xiao Qi refused to eat it. He wanted to give all the beef jerky to Chen Lang alone.

After Chen Lang finished eating the beef jerky, he picked up the teapot on the table and found it was empty.

Xiao Qi took out a water bag from his bag and said, "Master, this is the last one."

Before Chen Lang said he wanted to go home, Xiao Qi was busy packing his luggage and filling up both water bags.

As soon as Chen Lang picked up the water bag, the students outside the house shouted, "Chen, get out!"

"If you have the ability to write that kind of article, do you have the ability to open the door?"

"What kind of hero is it to be a coward?"

"get out!"

Chen Lang slammed the table and stood up, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it, this is too much!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Xiao Qi, pack your bags and let's rush out!"

Xiao Qi nodded, packed his luggage quickly, and when he was about to open the door, it was slammed open.

Chen Lang picked up a stool and was about to smash it.

"Don't be impulsive, it's me!" Ying'er shouted hurriedly, and then ordered the soldiers behind her to close the door and guard it so that no one could come in.

Chen Lang put down the stool, sighed and said, "Why are you here?"

Xu Mengru apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. Ying'er has been helping me with household chores these past two days and hasn't been able to take care of you. When we learned you were trapped in the inn by the students, we rushed over immediately."

Chen Lang said: "Miss Xu, there is no need to apologize. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"It's actually the Examination Yuan's fault. They released my essay prematurely, which led to this situation."

Ying Er walked around Chen Lang and asked, "Are you really a member of the Shang Party?"

Chen Lang said: "I am not a member of any party. I am just an ordinary candidate."

"No ordinary candidate could write an essay like that." Ying'er curled her lips. "You're really brave, writing something like this at this critical moment."

Chen Lang said coldly: "If you come here just to mock me, there is no need."

Ying Er said: "You don't know how to be kind. I'm here to save you."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and two soldiers walked in.

"You two, change clothes with them."

The soldier took off his clothes without hesitation and exchanged them with Chen Lang.

Ying Er explained, "Taking you away by force would have a very bad impact. So I'm trying to escape."

"You two stay in the room and leave in an hour."

The two sergeants nodded.

After Chen Lang and Xiao Qi changed into their military uniforms, they walked out of the room under the guidance of Ying Er.

Ying Er even called out into the house in a fake manner: "Mr. Chen, let's go."

The students outside tried to stop Ying'er from leaving, but there were still a dozen soldiers outside who forcibly escorted the group out of the inn and onto the carriage.

The students always felt something was wrong, but facing the knife at the soldier's waist, no matter how big the opinion was, it was not an opinion.

The carriage left the city smoothly and arrived at the post station after about half an hour's journey.

After getting off the car, Ying Er stretched and said, "I can only drop you off here."

Chen Lang bowed and said, "Miss Ying'er, I really thank you so much this time.

Ying Er blinked and said, "You help me once, and I help you once. We're even."

"But I really like people to owe me favors, so before we part, I decided to tell you one more thing."

Chen Lang frowned slightly: "Please explain clearly, Miss Ying'er."

Ying Er smiled mischievously and said, "Have you ever thought about why the government office didn't do anything when the students were causing trouble?"

Chen Lang said, "Of course I have thought about it. Without the tacit approval of the government, how could such a big fuss be possible?"

Ying Er said, "With Lord Cui away, the Qinzhou Prefecture is ruled by the prefect Shi Yan."

"Have you ever offended him?"

Chen Lang thought of something and said, "Is the Qinzhou Prefecture magistrate's surname Shi?"

Ying Er nodded: "Yes."

"Does the Shi family have any female members serving as concubines in the palace?" Chen Lang asked.

Ying Er was quite surprised and asked, "You know all this?"

Chen Lang narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "So this is the root of the problem."

"But the problem is, Shi Liguo's death, on the surface, has nothing to do with me. It's unlikely that the Qinzhou prefect would use this incident as a reason to punish me, right?"

Seeing Chen Lang remained silent, Ying Er became unhappy: "Hey, just tell me what you think, don't keep me in suspense."

Chen Lang said, "I didn't think much of it. I just heard the teacher mention the fact that the women of the Shi family were concubines in the palace."

Seeing that Chen Lang didn't seem to be lying, Ying'er passed over the matter and continued, "Besides the government office making things difficult for you, there's another person who is also making things difficult for you."

"He is Wei Zifan."
