Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

Qingyu County has rarely been calm these days. Although some of the underworld guards are still searching for the whereabouts of the snake demon, most of them have left.

Including the Xuanwu Envoy and the Suzaku Envoy (at least they have never appeared again).

Chen Mu has also removed himself from the position of head-in-chief of Qingyu County and is at home waiting for the call from the capital.

On the day of leaving office, Gao Yuanchun went to the restaurant with Chen Mu for half a nightclub.

This old man who had a bright future but was forced to be the county magistrate for twenty years because of the case of Prince Raincao, had the first time talking to Chen Muchang as a friend.

"After my mentor was imprisoned, I thought I could die as generously as my mentor and other colleagues, but unfortunately I finally retreated..."

Gao Yuanchun sighed with a wry smile, "Once a person is afraid, it will be difficult to stand up. He has been a turtle with his head shrunk for half his life, and he feels that his backbone can no longer be straight, and he even curled up when he sleeps."

Facing the county magistrate's self-deprecation, Chen Mu remained silent.

The other party is not a clean official, nor a local official with outstanding abilities, nor is it a bad official in the eyes of the people.

At least he was grateful to Gao Yuanchun from the bottom of his heart.

"The Suzaku Envoy stood in front of him that day. Do you know what I was thinking?"

Gao Yuanchun sighed, "I didn't think about anything, I was only afraid. You kid didn't see me as cowardly as I was kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up. In the end, it was the Suzaku who helped me up...haha."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuanchun laughed so much that he laughed, smiling, with tears on his face.

His body was hunched over.

Always hunched.

Chen Mu added wine and said, "Sir, are not cowardly."

Gao Yuanchun waved his hand: "Mr. Ruan and I are classmates. Twenty years ago, he was even more cowardly than me. He knelt in front of the Ming Guard and was so scared that he was so scared that he despised the Ming Guard at that time, so I kept scolding him.

Every time I chat with him and play chess, I call him too cowardly. And he doesn't say anything, for fear that the Weiwei will hear it, just shrank his head.

But now he is going to enter the Censorate and face the Nether Guards again, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the ministers who suppressed their mentors back then.

It turned out that he had been enduring and never gave up.

But I didn't dare to take a step forward, so I was more than timid than him, and I was more than a thousand times more timid."

Gao Yuanchun raised the wine pot, raised his head and poured it wildly, allowing the wine to soak his clothes.

"Chen Mu."

Gao Yuanchun patted his shoulder, "I used to think you were very smart, not just handling cases, but socializing, so I decided to push you out and give you an opportunity to enter the capital.

But after you killed Mu Erhe, I regretted it again. After all, I still didn’t see through you, but it was too late.”

He looked complicated and had a sincere tone:

"But now I feel a little relieved. If you didn't kill Mu Erhe, maybe one day you will become like me.

I have lived in vain in my life and have let too many people down.

Let your heart walk the road ahead.

If you really encounter any trouble after arriving in the capital, go to Mr. Ruan, but he is cautious and it depends on the situation if he can help you."

"Sir, do you think I can still enter the Ministry of Justice?" Chen Mu asked.

Gao Yuanchun shook his wry smile: "I don't know, it should have been foolproof, but unfortunately, the princess's case happened again. But no matter what, you will definitely go to this capital, it depends on the person above to decide."

After drinking with the county magistrate, Chen Mu temporarily started a leisurely life.

There has been no news coming from the capital.

Chen Mu was not in a hurry. During the day, he went out to relax with his wife Qingluo, and at night he drank and said goodbye with his former colleagues.

Or go to Ju Chunlou to chat with Xue Caiqing to prevent this woman from suddenly being unable to think about it.

Wenmingren and Zhuge Fengchu went back early.

Yun Zhiyue did not leave. Most of the time she wandered around outside Chen Mu's house to prevent the appearance of ghost brides or snake demons from appearing unfavorable to Chen Mu.

Sometimes Chen Mu would take her to the house to party and play goji or something.

Everyone was having fun and quite comfortable.

There is also a small episode.

Heiling, the personal guard of Zhuquetang, once took people to Qinshu Academy to investigate the "Wuming" Taoist, but after the investigation, there was no movement and left Qingyu County the next day.

This made Chen Mu, who was a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next day the wife asked him if he knew the Taoist, so Chen Mu naturally opened his eyes and told lies, saying that he had met by chance on the boat or something.

Bai Xianyu still believes her husband's lies very much.

At the same time, she was also a little distressed.

The clues of Wuming Taoist were broken when they reached his husband. If you want to continue searching, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, so you can only collect information slowly.

Or wait for the next time that the unknown Taoist writes poems and exposes his position.

Of course, no one would suspect that Chen Mu was an unknown Taoist.

Including Bai Xianyu himself.

After all, those two poems are too strong. With Chen Mu's half-baked cultural level, he is already a smoky sentence from his ancestors.

...

The next day, the sky was a little gloomy.

The continuous spring rain is like thin cow hair falling down, falling on the soil path covered by green grass, emitting faint light.

In the rain and fog, a rather expensive carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of Chen Mu's courtyard.

It attracted the attention of some pedestrians.

A eunuch in a scale robe and boots got off the carriage, holding a long golden jade box in his hand.

Chen Mu, who heard the movement, quickly jogged out of the hall.

Bai Xianyu and Qingluo followed closely behind.

After seeing the person coming, Chen Mu was suddenly stunned. This eunuch was no one else, but Eunuch Rong who had met before.

The other party is a celebrity around His Majesty.

Last time he came to pass on the emperor's oral order.

"Captain Chen, we're meeting again."

Eunuch Rong smiled.

Chen Mu was puzzled, but a smile appeared on his face: "Minister Chen Mu had met Eunuch Rong."

"Captain Chen is like a god to determine the case. In just a few days, the Ju Chunlou case was solved. His Majesty praised Captain Chen very much after reading the file."

Eunuch Rong smiled brightly and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder intimately.

This made Chen Mu even more confused.

Logically speaking, because of the princess, he and the emperor had a quarrel, and it was impossible for the other party to join in with him.

Why did I suddenly send someone to praise me?

"Oh? This is Captain Chen's inner friend. He is really beautiful and has a beautiful country. Captain Chen is so lucky."

Eunuch Rong's eyes fell on Bai Xianyu, pretending to be surprised and envious.

But there was a flash of splendor in the eyes.

Bai Xianyu's expression was indifferent, her slender waist was lightly folded, and she gave a gift: "The civilian woman has met her father-in-law."

Qingluo, who followed the salute, complained secretly.

Everyone knows you, and you are pretending to be stranger. This dead eunuch was whipped by his sister two years ago. He shouldn't have deliberately looked for trouble.

Thinking of this, Qingluo looked up and glared at the other party fiercely, and the latter pretended not to see it.

At this moment, Chen Mu felt a little nervous.

Hearing the eunuch's tone, it seemed that he had already investigated that he had a beautiful wife.

Could the emperor have any ideas?

"Damn, if the emperor who was a dog-day dared to steal my wife, I would kill him even if I died ten thousand times!"

Chen Mu clenched his fists and felt nervous.

"Captain Chen, please accept the order."

Eunuch Rong withdrew his gaze, but he was just talking nonsense. He took out a volume of imperial edict from the long jade box and said with a smile.

The imperial edict was not made of golden satin, but made of pure white silk.

"Acceptance of the orders of humble duties."

Chen Mu knelt on the ground with respect.
