Dahe Village.

It was dawn, and Huang Chunhua got up from the bed. It had been more than ten days since Chu Zhuang left, but neither Chu Zhuang nor Chu Da came back.

Huang Chunhua realized that something was wrong.

She wanted to call Chu Zhuang back, but she was afraid that the matter would be revealed and her body would be implicated. After much deliberation, it was Chu Pengqing who called him over to discuss.

"Pengqing, this Chuzhuang went to the county seat and hasn't come back for so many days. Do you think he found that he was poisoned?"

Huang Chunhua walked back and forth in the room, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, she looked at Chu Pengqing and asked.

Chu Pengqing rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Mother, I said you were really serious, and you let Chu Zhuang run away."

Of course, Chu Pengqing knew about the poisoning. Sima Lianhe promised him that as long as Chu Zhuang died, he would give him fifty gold coins as a hush money.

Chu Pengqing didn't need to do anything, as long as he watched Chu Zhuang die, he could get such a large sum of money, of course he was happy to see it happen.

But now the cooked duck flew away, no wonder he was happy!

"I'm not..."

Huang Chunhua was also annoyed when she thought about it. At that time, she was told by Chu Zhuang, she was full of heads, and she agreed directly. When she realized it, Chu Zhuang had already left, and it was too late for her to regret it.

"It's useless to say these things now, you should go to the county seat and arrest him!" Huang Chunhua said while looking at Chu Pengqing, pursing her lips tightly.

"I'll go?" Chu Pengqing frowned, and subconsciously resisted: "I won't go, Bai Jingting has such a precious Chuzhuang, mother, you don't know, you let me go, don't you push me into the fire pit?! "

What will Bai Jingting and him do when the time comes? !

"Bai Jingting and Chuzhuang may not know about the poisoning, and that's not necessarily the case." Huang Chunhua guessed: "Otherwise, after so many days, they wouldn't have no news at all."

According to Bai Jingting's personality, if he knew that they poisoned Chu Zhuang, he would never let it go.

Back then, because they almost starved to death in Chu Zhuang, Bai Jingting directly went to court. If they hadn't admitted their mistakes in time and suppressed the matter, Chu Lianqing's official position might be affected.

The head of the Chu family even opened an ancestral hall for this and severely punished them, which is why they have not dared to do anything to Chu Zhuang for so many years.

"Then why didn't Chu Da come back?" Chu Pengqing said with curled lips.

"Even if the matter is revealed, they don't dare to blame me!" Huang Chunhua said with a cold snort.

She is Chu Zhuang's grandma, if Chu Zhuang refers to her, it would be unfilial!

Even if he is admitted as a scholar, as long as he is charged with a crime of unfilial piety, he will not be able to move forward in the future.

"Then, mother, why don't you go in person?" Chu Pengqing scratched his head, looked at Huang Chunhua and said.

"Why can't I control you anymore, can I?!" Huang Chunhua looked at Chu Pengqing and said angrily.

Seeing Huang Chunhua angry, Chi Pengqing didn't dare to continue to refuse. If Huang Chunhua was really annoyed, who would give him Yinzihua back.

"That's not what I meant. Since Mommy asked me to go, then I'll go." Chu Pengqing said hastily.

"It's just that going to the county will cost a lot, mother, you have to give me some more money."

Chu Pengqing, who is in his 40s, has been completely spoiled by Huang Chunhua. When he is too old, he still acts like a baby and begs for money from his mother. If outsiders see him, they will definitely laugh at him.

But the mother and son are already used to it, and no one feels awkward.

Chu Pengqing didn't make a living, and said he wanted to study to obtain fame, but up to now he hadn't even passed the exam for Tongsheng, and he had no source of income at all. If Huang Chunhua didn't give him money, he really didn't have any source of income. old people.

Huang Chunhua took out her purse, took out a few silver coins from it, handed it to him and said, "Okay, go quickly after you get the money!"

Chu Pengqing didn't like such a small amount of money, which was not enough to go to Yingchun Tower for a drink, so he immediately grabbed Huang Chunhua's purse, feeling the weight of the purse and ran out before Huang Chunhua could react.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely catch that kid Chu Zhuang back!"

Huang Chunhua's eyes widened, and she wanted to catch up, but when she reached the door, she couldn't see Chu Pengqing's figure!

Chu Pengqing ran straight to the entrance of the village in one breath, knowing that Huang Chunhua would not be able to catch up, so he slowed down and walked slowly.

"Tsk tsk, there's only so much money."

Chu Pengqing looked at the money in the purse, curled his lips, and said with some disgust.

Obviously, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, Huang Chunhua has also developed a memory, and there will not be a lot of money in her purse.

The reason why he felt satisfied with the weight before was because most of the things inside were copper plates, which were not very valuable.

"Hey, I'm sorry that the fifty gold coins I got just flew away like this."

When Chu Pengqing thought of this matter, he couldn't help feeling depressed, and he murmured: "No, Chu Zhuang must not stay!"

Chu Zhuang was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and if he becomes an official like Chu Lianqing in the future, then he will definitely not let them offend those who poisoned him.

Chu Pengqing squinted his eyes, and there was a look of gloom in his eyes. He didn't have much talent for reading, but he had a lot of experience in doing bad things.

"Chu Zhuang, oh Chu Zhuang, you said that if you die obediently, nothing will happen, but you just want to escape, then don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Chu Pengqing snorted coldly, and walked swaggeringly towards the county seat.

White House.

"Aqiu."

Chu Zhuang touched his nose, sneezed accidentally, and muttered: "This early in the morning, who misses me so much?"

Chu Zhuang shook his head, didn't care too much, and continued to read the books. These days, he has sorted out all the books left by his original body, and he also understands the content of the imperial examination.

The imperial examinations in the Yue Dynasty were more complicated than he imagined, and involved a wide range of content, such as a subset of classics and history, current affairs, politics, poetry, laws, and so on.

What Chu Zhuang needs to prepare now is to take the Juren examination, which is the provincial examination. There is one subject every three years, and the next exam will be in the spring of the next year. If Chu Zhuang misses it, he will have to wait another three years.

"It's still a bit difficult!" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said with some emotion.

He only has one year and three months to prepare, and he still has a lot of things that he hasn't started to prepare, but Chu Zhuang is not discouraged.

In order to ensure that he and the people around him can live better in this world, this fame of Chu Zhuang is inevitable!

Chu Zhuang was about to immerse himself in his studies when he heard a knock on the door.

"Huh?" Chu Zhuang raised his head in surprise. Normally, Yunmengxi was playing with Bai Xuan at this time, while Bai Jingting went to the restaurant. Who would knock on the door of the study?

"Zhuang'er..." Bai Jingting's voice came from the door, and he was not in a good mood just by the tone of his voice.

"uncle?"

Chu Zhuang opened the door, looked at Bai Jingting with some surprise and asked, "Uncle, didn't you go to the restaurant? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Bai Jingting's face was ugly, with suppressed anger in his eyes, he looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "I saw Chu Pengqing at the entrance of the restaurant!"

Seeing Chu Pengqing for the first time, Bai Jingting couldn't help rushing over to ask him why he poisoned Chu Zhuang, and whether his family had a conscience.

But thinking of Chu Zhuang's instructions to him before, he still suppressed his anger, and instead of confronting Chu Pengqing, he turned around and came back to inform Chu Zhuang.

"Chu Pengqing?"

Chu Zhuang was slightly taken aback, and then realized, isn't this his ignorant uncle who is still preparing for the exam at a very old age?

"Are you here now?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and said, "They can bear it quite well."

Originally, Chu Zhuang thought they would find him soon after he came to the county, which is why Chu Zhuang didn't look for Bai Jingting in the first place, but wanted to rent a house.

In the end, I didn't expect it. I don't know if they have a guilty conscience, so it took so long to find them.

"Zhuang'er, what are you going to do?" Bai Jingting looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.

Regarding the poisoning of Chu Zhuang, according to Bai Jingting's idea, he planned to report to the officials. After all, Chu Zhuang is a scholar, and they will never escape if they murder people with fame!

It's just that Chu Da, who was locked in the prison, is a tough guy, and he hasn't confessed to Huang Chunhua and Sima Lianhe until now.

If Bai Jingting forced himself to get involved with them, he might be thrown a pot of dirty water on Chu Zhuang by them.

"How to do it?"

Chu Zhuang squinted his eyes, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes. He didn't answer, but looked at Bai Jingting and asked, "Uncle, what do you think Chu Pengqing came here for?"

"What else could it be for?"

Bai Jingting frowned, pondered for a while, and then said: "I must have come to inquire about the news. If I knew that Chu Da... hadn't confessed them, I'm afraid I will ask you to go back."

Speaking of this, the blue veins on Bai Jingting's forehead couldn't help but bulge for a long time, how could he send Chu Zhuang back to that wolf den? !

If they dare to rob people, he will risk his life even if he wants to drag them to hell together!

"Ah."

Chu Zhuang nodded, looked at Bai Jingting and said, "There is no way to involve them in the poisoning, so in the end Chu Pengqing will definitely let me go back."

"Zhuang Er, don't worry, I will never..." Bai Jingting said immediately.

But Chu Zhuang waved his hand and got Bai Jingting a glass of water, preventing him from continuing.

Because Chu Zhuang knew that Bai Jingting couldn't stop it.

"Uncle, I have already decided to go back with them." Chu Zhuang looked at Bai Jingting and said his decision.
