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

Originally, Li Xiuzhi refused to let Chen Lang go out.

She wanted to tie Chen Lang up at home with an iron chain and not let him go anywhere.

But Chen Lang said that he had disappeared for so long that he had to show up, otherwise it would arouse others' suspicion.

Moreover, under Li Qing's care, his injuries have recovered. Except for the broken forearm which will take some time to grow back, all internal injuries have been treated.

Li Xiuzhi couldn't persuade Chen Lang, so she had to agree.

But Chen Lang was also required to bring Xiao Huihui with him.

After returning yesterday, Li Xiuzhi learned that Chen Lang was alive and Xiao Huihui had made a great contribution. She prepared a sumptuous midnight snack for Xiao Huihui that night.

The dog bowls were piled up like a small mountain.

Xiao Huihui looked at the food bowl and then at Li Xiuzhi.

Chen Lang felt that if Xiao Huihui could speak, he would be able to speak at this moment.

"Are you not going to keep me as a child? Are you going to let me go after this meal?"

After being comforted by Chen Lang, Xiao Huihui understood that this was a reward for him, so he went out for a meal and ate until his belly was full.

This morning, when Xiao Huihui saw Chen Lang was about to go out, he kept biting his trouser legs.

Chen Lang understood that Xiao Huihui had gotten used to having fun outside during this period of time. No matter how big the yard at home was, it was not as vast as the world outside.

Even if you put a rope around it, it will find a way to bite it off and then sneak out to have fun.

It just so happened that Li Xiuzhi asked her to take Xiao Huihui with her wherever she went, so let's go out for a walk together.

The man and the dog first came to Guhong Tower to reassure Manager Hu and to check on Xie Qinghuan's condition.

After all, she was also kidnapped once. If Li Qing had not acted in time, her fate would have been even worse than his.

However, Chen Lang still had some reservations when telling the whole story.

"I also accidentally learned that Yao Jianxin wanted to kidnap you. Although I'm not sure if it's true, just in case, I still hired an expert to secretly protect you."

"I didn't expect Yao Jianxin to be so shameless."

Xie Qinghuan was no naive young woman, so she could naturally hear the loopholes in it, but she didn't expose it. Instead, she chose to believe it: "Thank you, Master Chen."

Chen Lang said: "When I signed the contract, I promised that I would not let you get hurt. I must do it."

Xie Qinghuan looked at Chen Lang's hand: "How did you get hurt?"

Chen Lang said, "I fell while riding a horse and broke a bone."

"Have you heard of Xu Fei, the young miracle doctor in Nanhe County? He's a good friend of mine. He helped reconnect my bones. It should be healed in a month or so."

Xie Qinghuan bit her lower lip and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Chen Lang said: "It doesn't hurt, just a little itchy."

"You're almost done performing, so I won't bother you anymore."

"I still have to go to the county government office to pay my respects to Lord Chang."

Chen Lang turned and walked towards the stairs. Xie Qinghuan looked at his back and a tear suddenly welled up in her eyes. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tear and called out, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Lang paused: "Anything else?"

Xie Qinghuan said: "You are injured, you should rest at home."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, but the doctor said that walking a few miles a day would actually be beneficial to my recovery."

"When I'm free in a couple of days, I'll come and listen to you sing and show my support for you."

Xie Qinghuan nodded: "Qinghuan will prepare well."

Chen Lang waved his hand: "Let's go."

Half an hour later.

The diners at Guhonglou were all shocked by Xie Qinghuan's performance today.

"Thank you everyone. What happened today? You sang so well."

"Oh my god, this song really touched my heart. I have to give you a tip."

"Miss Qing Huan's face is as red as peach blossoms and her eyes are full of spring. Could it be that her lover is sitting in the audience?"

“Ahem… I am no different from you! It’s me!”

"Get out of here! It's obviously me!"

On the other side, Chen Lang brought Xiao Huihui to the county government office and asked to see Chang Anmin.

When Chang Anmin saw Chen Lang, he looked a little strange.

"Yao Jianxin is dead, you know?"

Chen Hu blinked: "I heard about it. How did he die?"

"It's still under investigation." Chang Anmin sighed: "Although he hasn't officially taken office yet, he is still an official after all."

"He died on my land, so he deserves an explanation, don't you think?"

Chen Lang said: "That's absolutely right."

Chang Anmin looked at Chen Lang and said, "Don't you have any other ideas?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him, the most I feel is a little regretful."

Chang Anmin said: "It's quite a pity."

"What happened to your hand?"

Chen Lang said, "I fell while riding a horse."

"is it serious?"

"It's not serious. It will be healed in a month or so."

"How many months?"

"What is the problem?"

Chang Anmin was silent for a moment, then said, "During the time you're recovering, don't run around everywhere. Just stay home and brew wine peacefully."

Chen Lang asked, "Is the Liao Kingdom urging them to come?"

Chang Anmin said: "...I guess so."

"Anyway, we can brew as much as we can, including beer and red-faced drunkenness."

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll do whatever I can for you."

Chen Lang's heart was pounding when he heard this. He said, "Sir, your words are making me feel uneasy... I feel like I'm going to die after brewing this batch of wine."

Chang Anmin said, "Don't think too much, just brew your wine."

"I still have official business to attend to, please leave."

Chen Lang said, "Sir, I will take my leave."

Walking out of the gate holding Little Huihui, Chen Lang looked back at the plaque of the yamen, his heart in turmoil.

There is something wrong with Chang Anmin's attitude.

Could it be that he found out that Yao Jianxin was killed by himself?

So you want to squeeze out every last bit of surplus value from yourself before executing yourself?

Chen Lang decided to go to the Customs Office to see if he could get some information from Wang Yunzhang.

If the truth really comes out, there's no point in making wine. I'll just run away with my family.

After Chen Lang left, Chang Anmin took out the case file of Yao Jianxin's murder from the cabinet.

The person in charge of investigation and record-keeping is Liu Bantou of the Zhuang class.

The file clearly states that according to the on-site investigation, it was not the Red Lotus assassin who killed Yao Jianxin.

"Come here, tell Liu Bantou to come see me." Chang Anmin put down the file and gave the order.

A moment later, Liu Bantou came into the room and bowed, "Sir, what do you want from me?"

Chang Anmin picked up the file and said, "I've read the contents here several times."

"But I still want to hear your own explanation. Why do you think someone else killed Yao Jianxin?"

Liu Bantou swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, it's like this..."

"I found signs of someone having been there on a hill about two miles from the crime scene. There were obvious bloodstains on one of the trees."

"Based on the bloodstains, the person who was there was probably injured, and the injuries were quite serious. If it was a Red Lotus assassin, they wouldn't have left such obvious clues."

"I also learned from the waiter at the post station that on the night of the crime, around the hour of the Rat, Yao Jianxin and his followers headed towards the crime scene. Based on this, I boldly speculate that Yao Jianxin must have agreed with the Meng brothers to deal with someone, but this person turned around and killed the Meng brothers, then waited at the agreed location for Yao Jianxin to come."

"In the end, Yao Jianxin was killed."
