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

"Did he really say that?"

After listening to Manager Hu’s story, Chen Lang was also a little confused.

There is an internal conflict in the government office?

When County Magistrate Ling sealed Guhong Tower, other officials in the yamen did not react.

Now that the ban is about to be lifted, some people come out to oppose it.

So my Guhong Tower has become a tool for your internal fighting?

No wonder Chang Anmin hasn't made any big moves since arriving in Linshui County.

There are many factions within the Linshui County Yamen. As an airborne faction, he probably spent a lot of time sorting out the relationships between the yamen.

However, as soon as he left, the other people in the yamen started making trouble again.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do?" asked Manager Hu.

Chen Lang pondered for a moment and said, "Hold the troops still."

"Since there is internal strife in the government office, rather than letting the other two officials take advantage of it, it would be better to give this generous gift to Lord Chang."

"Letting him personally deal with Ling Zhen can also serve as a warning to others."

"It's during this period of time that I'm sorry to trouble you, Shopkeeper Hu."

"The seal on the gate must be kept tight, to prevent the constables from the yamen from secretly tearing it off."

Hu Heyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, we don't have to worry about this at all."

"Captain Cao has already sent several detectives to guard the area day and night."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "This is going to be a fight to the death."

"Then let's just sit back and watch the fight."

"Remember to appease members and quietly tell them that the time lost due to the ban will not be counted towards their membership time."

Hu Heyuan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

At this time, Hu Heyuan noticed that Chen Lang's wife, Li Xiuzhi, was walking over with her daughter, so he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll take my leave first."

Chen Lang said, "Xiao Qi, please send Shopkeeper Hu off for me."

After Hu left, Guoguo ran over and said, "Daddy, when are we going out to play?"

Chen Lang picked up Guoguo, touched her nose, and said, "Wait until dark before going out."

"The best view is when the lanterns on the street light up after dark."

Guoguo nodded obediently and responded crisply, "Okay."

……

Imperial City Office.

Song Ke is listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Sir, Ling Zhen can't hold on any longer," the subordinate said. "He sent people to remove the seal on Guhong Tower, but they were stopped by another group of detectives from the yamen."

Song Ke said expressionlessly, "What's going on over there with Pei Ming?"

The subordinate lowered his voice and moved closer to Song Ke, saying, "Sir, according to reliable intelligence, Duke Zhu is seriously injured..."

Song Ke's expression changed slightly: "Really?"

The subordinate nodded: "Absolutely true."

"Pei Ming is leaving the city today, probably to pick up Zhu Sui'an."

"Your Excellency also knows that the Red Lotus Cult wants Zhu Sui'an dead the most."

Song Ke put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room. He said, "So, Chen Lang's three backers in Linshui County are all gone?"

The subordinate said: "Your Excellency means..."

Song Ke said, "Since Ling Zhen can't hold on any longer, let's not bother playing any tricks with Chen Lang. Let's just capture him first."

The subordinate said, "I'll arrange it right away."

Song Ke said, "Wait a moment."

"I'll go to Chen Lang's place."

"Take a group of people to the Duke's Mansion and explore that courtyard while Pei Ming is away."

"If the person living there really is Feng Chaoying..."

"killed!"

The subordinate bowed: "I obey your orders!"

After his subordinates left, Song Ke opened a scroll on the table.

The scroll depicts Feng Chaoying.

Song Ke picked up the pen and slowly painted over Feng Chaoying's face.

"Chen Lang, I don't care if you are the son of Li Shirong or Feng Chaoying. As long as you look like them, that's enough."

……

After nightfall, it becomes bustling.

All the lanterns on both sides of the street were lit, and the entire Linshui County was as bright as day.

Chen Lang was holding his daughter, holding Li Xiuzhi's hand, and with Xiaoqi and his sister following behind, they were walking slowly on the street.

As for the rest of the family, they were given some money and allowed to move freely.

Xu Mengru was still thinking about the promotion of bras, so she went to find Xie Qinghuan.

Xie Qinghuan is now a popular "idol" in Linshui County and is very popular.

As the people celebrated, the government took the initiative to visit her and paid her to play some songs to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Xie Qinghuan had no way to refuse because according to the contract, she had to attend this official invitation.

And when participating, you have to wear a bra, and a pot of Hongyanzui must be placed next to the guqin.

As a spokesperson, it is a basic professional quality to showcase the products you endorse at any time.

Xu Mengru believed that before the Oiran Contest, this was an extremely rare opportunity for exposure. Perhaps a woman from a wealthy family would notice the changes in Xie Qinghuan's figure, and then she would have the opportunity to promote the bra.

Chen Lang didn't stop her. It's a good thing to be ambitious.

The streets along the water are already narrow, and now that everyone is celebrating, the streets are filled with these snack stalls on both sides, making the streets even narrower, and most of the time only enough for one person to pass through.

Chen Lang was afraid of squeezing Guoguo, so he simply put her on his neck and let her ride on him.

Li Xiuzhi pulled Chen Lang's clothes at the waist, Jiu Mei held Li Xiuzhi's hand, and Xiao Qi held Jiu Mei's hand, and they moved forward little by little like a human centipede.

The only one who was not affected was Guoguo. Because he was taller than the people around him, Guoguo had a particularly wide field of vision and could see everything.

"Daddy, there's someone going through a fire ring up ahead!"

"That's stilt walking over there, wow, that's amazing!"

"Huh? Why is this old man putting a rock on his chest?"

"Oh, he he he...he swallowed the sword!"

Guoguo's little mouth was like Zhuge Liang's crossbow, it never stopped during the whole process. Whenever he saw anything new, he would tell his father.

But Chen Lang was not annoyed at all. He responded to every word Guoguo said, and the father and daughter enjoyed it very much.

However, such a joyful scene did not last long.

In front of a small stall selling sweet cakes, when Chen Lang was taking out his wallet to buy some sweet cakes, a red dot suddenly appeared on the snow-white sweet cakes.

The stall owner flew into a rage and cursed, "That son of a bitch, throwing red ink around?"

However, Chen Lang felt that this red dot did not look like red ink.

He stretched out his index finger and touched the red dot, then put it in front of his eyes and pinched it gently.

This is... blood!

How could drops of blood appear out of nowhere?

Chen Lang looked around in confusion.

People were coming and going around, and the noise was endless.

But in such a lively scene, there were a few people with panicked expressions, as if they were avoiding something.

The next moment, blood burst out like fireworks.

The streets are crowded with people, and all kinds of noises are constantly hitting their eardrums. Ordinary sounds are unlikely to attract their attention.

Unless this voice is filled with misery and pain.

"what!"

The screams of a dying person seemed like a blow from another dimension, directly suppressing all the noise.

Everyone stopped where they were and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then they saw a huge head rising into the sky.
