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

When Chen Lang returned to the main house, Guoguo was already sleeping soundly in Li Xiuzhi's arms.

Chen Lang walked up to her, gently touched Guoguo's face, then leaned over and kissed her.

Li Xiuzhi opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Chen Lang made a silencing gesture, indicating that she should put her daughter down first and go outside to talk.

After putting Guoguo on the bed and covering her with a blanket, the couple tiptoed out of the main house.

Arriving at the study, Li Xiuzhi hugged Chen Lang and said, "Erlang, I'm sorry."

Chen Lang touched the back of his wife's head and said gently, "Why are you apologizing?"

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met that liar, and the things that happened later wouldn't have happened."

Chen Lang said: "Okay, it's all over."

"And it wasn't all for nothing this time. At least next time you see a scammer, you won't be so easily fooled."

Li Xiuzhi said, "But when I think of that man pointing a bow and arrow at you, I tremble all over."

Chen Lang held Li Xiuzhi in his arms and sat down, kissed her, and said, "I am living a good life."

"If you're still shaking, let's go to the bed and shake."

Li Xiuzhi was both angry and amused. She bit Chen Lang's neck, leaving a mark on it, and said, "It's already this late, and you're still joking like this."

Chen Lang said with a smile: "Even if I don't make such jokes, you can't stop."

"Okay, okay, life is always full of surprises, just let it go."

Li Xiuzhi touched the teeth marks on Chen Lang's neck and felt a little distressed: "Does it hurt?"

Chen Lang said: "It doesn't hurt, I feel comfortable."

Li Xiuzhi said angrily, "Hateful."

"By the way, who was that person who was looking for you just now?"

Chen Lang said, "The captain of the Imperial City Division."

Li Xiuzhi blinked and said, "Imperial City Division, what do you do?"

Chen Lang said, "The secret service supervises all officials, gathers intelligence, and can even execute first and report later."

Li Xiuzhi was shocked and asked, "Why would such a scary person look for you?"

Chen Lang said: "They think I am very talented and want to invite me to join."

Li Xiuzhi hurriedly said: "No! Erlang, you can't..."

Chen Lang comforted her, "Don't worry, your husband has no interest in being a spy."

Li Xiuzhi leaned back into Chen Lang's arms again and murmured, "Erlang, let's just do business honestly and live a down-to-earth life. Don't pay attention to these things, okay?"

Chen Lang said: "Well, your husband promises you."

Although he agreed verbally, Chen Lang was thinking about something else in his heart.

Pei Ming once warned himself not to go to the capital.

Could this warning be related to the Imperial City Bureau?

But before he went to the capital, the Imperial City Bureau came to his door first.

The talk of valuing talent is all fake. The type of person the Imperial City Bureau wants to recruit is definitely not someone like me.

What exactly does Captain Song want to do?

Chen Lang couldn't understand.

……

The next day, two new notices appeared on bulletin boards across the county.

The first one is a wanted order, and the wanted target is the Red Lotus Society. Those who report or capture the core members of the Red Lotus Society alive will be rewarded by the government.

The second one is a refund notice, which states that all citizens who have paid money to the Red Lotus Society can go to the government office to collect their membership fees.

The second notice received unanimous praise from the people.

Because the common people never thought that the lost money could be recovered.

Especially those families who paid hundreds or thousands of taels of silver were extremely grateful to the yamen. Plaques praising the yamen's merits flew into the yamen like snowflakes.

In fact, the government only recovered a small portion of the stolen money, and the rest had been transferred away long ago.

The extra money was paid out of the government's own pocket to the people.

The person who made this decision was Chang Anmin.

After arriving in Linshui County, Chang Anmin has always kept a low profile, and most of the government affairs have been handed over to the chief clerk and the county magistrate to handle.

This also made the local officials in Linshui mistakenly believe that Chang Anmin came here just to gild his reputation, and they looked down on him a little.

However, Chang Anmin was just waiting for an opportunity.

If you don’t speak, then don’t speak out. But if you do speak out, it must be shocking!

Compensating the people for their losses was the first thing Chang Anmin said after arriving in Linshui County.

Deafening enough.

There were voices of opposition within the yamen. These officials believed that the common people were stupid enough to give money to the scammers, so why should the yamen's money be used to fill this hole?

But Chang Anmin changed his previous attitude, became extremely tough, and finally made this happen.

At this point, the local officials of Linshui County finally realized that this person was not here to gild his reputation.

While the government offices were engaged in internal strife, the Imperial City Office was also busy.

Several people from the Imperial City Bureau came to Hezhong Village in Nanhe County to inquire about the whereabouts of Old Man Chen and his family. They learned that Old Man Chen and his family had moved away overnight and no one knew where they went.

These people from the Imperial City Bureau used their skillful techniques to find out some information about Chen Lang from the villagers.

This is a story about a scumbag who suddenly becomes a genius.

As for why the change occurred, no one knows.

Of course, what the Imperial City Bureau is most concerned about is still Chen Lang’s age.

But after asking around, the answer I got was everyone was 25 years old.

It does not match the age of Li Shirong's posthumous child.

After presenting this information to Song Ke, Song Ke realized that if he wanted to truly understand Chen Lang's age, he still had to find Old Man Chen's family.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!" Song Ke gave his subordinates a death order!

A subordinate came to report.

"Sir, the people we planted in the Duke's Mansion were killed."

"The department received this person's hands."

Song Ke snorted and said, "Pei Ming, Pei Ming, you really are vindictive."

"But the more you do this, the more it proves that you have something to hide."

"Order everyone lurking in the Duke's Mansion to evacuate temporarily. Pei Ming sent these hands to threaten me. If I don't comply with his wishes, wouldn't I be letting these hands down?"

"But even if people can be withdrawn, the surveillance of the Duke's Mansion cannot be weakened."

"Find out who lives in that yard as soon as possible."

"Also, find a way to get me a portrait of Feng Chaoying. I want to see it."

The subordinates followed the order and left.

……

After resting at home for two days, Chen Lang couldn't sit still and ran to Guhong Tower again.

Before reaching the gate, I saw a little guy sneaking towards Guhong Tower.

Chen Lang walked up and patted the little guy on the head: "Master Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Junyuan raised his head and said, "He Fangxiao... Eh? It's you."

After saying that, he immediately pulled Chen Lang into the building and said, "Stop me, don't let anyone see you."

Chen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He simply lifted the hem of his gown and covered Wang Junyuan's head with it. "Is this okay?"

After the two entered the building, Wang Junyuan finally straightened his back, let out a long sigh, and said, "Finally, we're in."

Then he raised his head and said, "But how do you know who I am?"

Chen Lang said, "Master Wang, you are the only child of the Wang family. It would be difficult for me not to know you."

Wang Junyuan thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He said, "But I don't even know your name. This isn't fair."

Chen Lang said: "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Lang."

Wang Junyuan was satisfied and said, "That's pretty good."

Chen Lang asked with a smile, "Master Wang, you always came in openly before, why are you so sneaky today?"

Wang Junyuan sighed and said, "I used up all the money my father gave me for the month. I took a vase from home to the pawnshop. When my sister found out, she beat me up and wouldn't let me leave the house."

"But I wanted to listen to a book, so I sneaked out."

Chen Lang sighed in his heart, this is a talented person.

Wang Junyuan looked towards the stage in the middle of the hall, his face filled with disappointment. He said, "Today is the singing day! We came here for nothing."

After saying that, he was about to walk out dejectedly.

Chen Lang quickly grabbed him and said, "Master Wang, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

"You want to listen to a book? I can tell you."
