Chapter 242: Drifting

(After twelve o'clock, it's a new week. Please vote and subscribe!)

The next morning, the carriage and luggage were packed. After breakfast, I prepared to set off.

Suddenly, Wang Fu ran over with a bag on his back, knelt in front of Yan Huandan, and said that he wanted to go with him too.

Yan Huandan asked in a deep voice: "Wang Fu, aren't you going to serve under the command of the young master?"

Wang Fu shook his head and sighed, "Senior Yan, I have suffered from war and have many nightmares at night. After thinking about it, I wanted to find a quiet place to live in seclusion, but I spent the rest of my life. I also asked Senior Yan to take it in."

Yan Huandan looked at Chen Tang.

Chen Tang said: "Wang Fu is going, please Uncle Yan help him."

Recently, he was arranged to be a clerk in the yamen, but his condition was really bad. He was so drowsy that he couldn't get up. He suffered from wars and almost lost his family. How could such trauma be healed?

Not to mention him, just talking about Abao and his two long-sweets. When they heard the drastic changes in their hometown, they also cried loudly, and their concerns about their family were beyond words. However, in the current situation, they could not go back.

Upon hearing this, Yan Huandan nodded: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, let's go with you."

"Thank you, Senior Yan."

Wang Fu said gratefully, and then came to Chen Tang: "I'm not proud, I'll leave now."

Chen Tang patted him on the shoulder: "Take care."

He sent them out of the city for several miles before he stopped. The carriage was scattered, the curtain was lifted, Su Ling leaned out and looked behind desperately. Looking at Chen Tang who was pulling farther and farther away, he suddenly burst into tears.

After the carriage turned around and disappeared on the official road, Chen Tang quickly rode his horse back to the city.

The world is inconspicuous and turbulent. Jiangnan may be in chaos, and Qinzhou is the same. However, according to Yan Huandan, his hometown is located in a transcendent location and is obviously not an ordinary village. Therefore, it is very possible to become a paradise in troubled times. Anyway, it will be much better than staying in Nanfu County. Besides, Yan Huandan is here, so it can protect him. Su Ling and the others are not around, and Chen Tang has no worries. After encountering the incident, he seems much more calm.

After the separation, a few days later, a letter of official documents from the state government arrived late. The official documents were stern, and they were very dissatisfied with Chen Tang's governance of Nanfu County, so that the assassination accident occurred...

Although Chen Tang took over as the magistrate of Nanfu County for only a short time; although some things have nothing to do with each other, the rules and responsibilities of the officialdom cannot be escaped.

The issue of Huang Daozhi's identity was like a muddy bull entering the sea and was silent. I wonder if it was because the state yamen wanted to suppress the matter in order to cover up the ugliness, or if there were other forces interfering, it was not allowed to be made public.

Chen Tang expected this result. The reason why he chose to start at night that day was to ask Yan Huandan to kill Huang Daozhi, but he did not take his head to seek credit. He was worried that this matter was deeply involved and would never be able to make a fuss. It would be better to kill the other party without knowing it, as a way to eliminate the troubles, so as not to be pondered by Huang Daozhi all day long.

Huang Daozhi came from a family and was a real demon. His death would definitely alarm the huge forces behind him. If Chen Tang went to seek credit, it would be equivalent to declaring war with the Huang family head-on. It would be really a disaster that was extremely unwise.

The current scene is the most suitable. Even if someone from the Huang family comes to investigate, Chen Tang has a way to deal with it. After all, with his strength, he is not enough to deal with Huang Daozhi. And I don’t know how many enemies the Huang family are. In short, Chen Tang is just a small character.

Nanfu County is just a small corner of the world.

That's just right.

Therefore, Chen Tang’s established plan and goal are to restrain himself and keep a low profile, study hard, and improve his strength.

Of course, burying one's head does not mean turning a blind eye to the outside world. He has always been quite concerned about the current situation. He gave Abao some money and asked him to go to Ningzhou Prefecture to inquire about information.

In fact, under such circumstances, Abao is definitely unable to find out the real private information here. Most of the things can only be heard and collected in scattered ways. However, the prefecture is a big place, and the news must be much more informative than the county town below. Moreover, if the Jiangnan is in chaos, it will start with the prefecture. With the little manpower in the county town, it is difficult to get messy. Unless there are natural disasters and refugees rebelling.

Time flies, and it is December, and the climate is already quite cold.

As winter begins in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also snow.

I have been in this world for two or three years and I know that the world is divided into nine provinces, but I still don’t understand what is outside the nine provinces, so I can’t understand it. This is not a time and space that exists in real history. The concepts of territory are also very different, so it is difficult to get acquainted with it. The seasonal climate is even more different.

In fact, these are all issues of following the local customs. Chen Tang is not a research party, he just wants to live well here. How can he have free time to study those?

The drizzling winter rain adds even more chill. Many people say that this year's winter is particularly cold.

Chen Tang inexplicably remembered the heavy snow disaster he encountered when he was in the capital last year. So far, many people still say that it was the long-lasting natural disaster that ruined the dragon energy of the dynasty. Otherwise, how could riots happen one after another?

The theory of fortune is illusory, but natural disasters and man-made disasters can indeed cause great damage to the world's vitality, thus breeding many problems. What's more serious is that such disasters are irresistible factors and once they occur, they will inevitably be avoided. In this way, it will further confirm the theory of fortune telling and geomantic dynasty.

Before Abao went to the prefecture, Chen Tang taught him a unique way to collect information, and then sent the letter back through the post station. The main reason was that Abao could write books, which was much better than Alai. Alai had the same name as his own, and he was blind.

The number of times the letterhead is passed is not very large, but the content recorded in each letter is quite rich.

From the incident situation read in the letter, Chen Tang vaguely guessed that the situation in Jiangnan was changing, and there was a sense of urgency that the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. The most obvious point was that on the streets of Ningzhou Prefecture, the frequency of soldiers and armor appeared higher and higher, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger...

This is a pretty bad signal.

Chen Tang believes that the peace in Jiangnan will not last long, and whether this year can be spent safely is unknown.

The root causes of military chaos are many factors: dissatisfaction with the emperor's new policy, the rebelliousness of the generals of the prefectures and counties, or the strength of all parties is constantly fueling the fire...

Such things are very complicated.

Chen Tang has always thought of preparing for the future, but when he really had to face it, he found that many things were futile and powerless. His personal power seemed so small and humble.

Even now, he is the head of a county.

The situation in the prefecture has become subtle and cannot be ignored; even in Nanfu County, some strange events have occurred in recent days.

The leisure days of the yamen are over...
