Chapter 343: Catching rats at night
That night, Chen Ao couldn't sleep. Chun'er slept aside, gently hugged his neck, and whispered: "Husband, what's wrong with you? You're worried?"
Chen Ao pressed his hand on her plump buttocks and rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go to bed earlier."
When Chun'er saw him say this, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but Chen Ao couldn't sleep, so how could she be able to sleep?
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep. Where can I sleep just by saying that I can sleep? My eyelashes are still trembling."
Chun'er immediately opened her eyes and smiled sweetly: "My husband can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."
Chen Ao hugged her and whispered to her ear: "Does Chun'er want it again?"
Chun'er angrily crawled into Chen Ao's arms: "What does it mean? You must speak with your conscience."
Chen Ao laughed, turned over, bit and chewed at her, under the gauze tent, the spring was endless.

Zhao Ziheng lives next to Shen Ao. There is no way. The place is not small, but there are only a few guest rooms. In addition, there are many places where there are servants, so they naturally cannot be used to entertain them, so they can only make a try. Zhao Zong couldn't sleep until he was a child. Seeing that his daughter was illuminated by the lights, he accompanied her daughter to catch chess and chat. The father and daughter were talking lively, discussing the conspiracy and tricks of dealing with Di Sanger tomorrow, but heard the sound of vague *** and shaking bed next door.
"Huh... Daddy, did you hear it?"
Zhao Zong couldn't help but blush, and he immediately sat cross-legged and said, "I heard nothing."
Zhao Ziheng twisted his nose and said, "You didn't hear it even if you sound so loud?"
Zhao Zong said with a face: "If you don't hear it, you don't hear it. Hurry up and play your chess."
"But I obviously heard it." Zhao Ziheng felt so aggrieved. How could his father not distinguish between black and white? He deliberately said that he didn't hear it even though he had such a loud voice.
Zhao Zong exclaimed and said, "If you don't play chess, I'll leave."
Zhao Ziheng had to go to catch chess again obediently. The sound became louder and louder. Zhao Ziheng pricked up his ears like a kitten: "Oh, I heard Chun'er talking in her sleep."
Zhao Zong said with a stern face: "What Chun'er, I heard a mouse screaming."
Zhao Ziheng frowned and whispered: "It's obviously Chun'er's, I recognize her voice."
After a while, the sound became louder and louder. Zhao Zong couldn't play the chess anymore. He thought to himself, is this Chen Ao going to end?
Zhao Ziheng said: "Dad, why don't we go over there and ask if something is wrong?"
Zhao Zong said angrily: "Nothing happened, don't worry. Didn't you say you wanted me to see you paint? OK, I'll see you paint."
Zhao Ziheng said: "But I can't calm down because I'm so noisy."
After a long time of debate, it finally stopped and everything returned to silence. Zhao Zong breathed a sigh of relief and calculated with his fingers. Half an hour passed, feeling ashamed.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ziheng ran to Chun'er excitedly, "Mrs. Zhou, what happened last night? Why did I hear a lot of noise in the wife's room?" She planned to find evidence to prove it to her father, but Chun'er looked embarrassed and said ungrateful: "My husband and I are catching mice."
Ah... It turns out that there are really mice. It seems that I have heard it wrong. Zhao Ziheng gently twisted his ears, which was extremely annoyed.
Chen Ao came out of the room, dressed up and asked, "What are you catching mice? Hey, by the way, today I am going to visit the Transportation Commander, Ziheng, go and call your father. Aren't you going to join Lord Jiang? Come with me."
Zhao Ziheng said oh, a little reluctant.
Chen Ao first went to ask the county magistrate, and the transferee invited him. Yu Bichen did not leave any reason for Chen Ao, and he stroked his beard and said, "There is no major event in the yamen hall today. If something really happens, I will come to watch you. Just go to see Lord Jiang."
Chen Ao thanked him, asked someone to prepare a car, and took the two fathers and daughters who were causing trouble first to get on the car before jumping onto the shaft and entering the car. Three eyes stared at each other, Chen Ao smiled and said, "Just let it go, my little temple can't accommodate you two big Buddhas. When you send you to Lord Jiang, you won't have to suffer these hardships."
The horseman took the cart and went all the way to the Transport Department in Qiantang County. The city yamen in Hangzhou is not as small as Xijing and Suzhou. The Transport Department, Maritime Department, Comfort Department, Works Bureau, and Examination Department all gathered here. From second-rank officials to ninth-rank officials, none of them were pulled down. They traveled through the most prosperous areas of Hangzhou along the way, so the carriage was very slow, and the three people were shaking in the carriage. Zhao Zong slept late last night and couldn't open his eyes. He almost slept with his head on the wall of the carriage. Suddenly he heard Zhao Ziheng say, "Brother Shen, did you catch mice that last night for half an hour?"
Zhao Zong immediately shuddered, lost all sleepiness, and suddenly winked at Chen Ao.
Chen Ao didn't react: "Rat, where did the rat come from?"
Zhao Ziheng felt even more entangled, and Zhao Zong hurriedly said, "Ziheng, you are about to see your Uncle Jiang. Are you happy?" He deliberately wanted to change the topic so that his baby daughter could be protected from poisoning.
Chen Ao saw it and nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm so tired. I was so tired when I caught the mouse yesterday. The mouse actually blatantly climbed onto the bed."
"On the bed!" Zhao Ziheng's eyes widened, showing a terrifying look: "No wonder I heard Chun'er screaming. At that time, I thought she was talking in a sleep!"
Chen Ao sighed, glanced at Zhao Zong secretly, and continued, "There is no choice but to jump out of the bed and shake the bed desperately, trying to shake the mouse down. After shaking it in the middle of the night, my hands were sore."
Zhao Ziheng covered her mouth and smiled, "Chen Ao is so stupid. How can a mouse shake it? If it was me, I would find a stick to drive it down."
Chen Ao thought to himself: "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid. You believe such an absurd excuse and even laugh at me."
Soon after, I arrived at Jiang Bing's mansion and asked someone to inform me. A chief in it came out and said, "But is County Magistrate Chen? My master invited the adults in."
Chen Ao and his group went straight in. After a while, they turned to the main hall. When they went in, they saw that Jiang Bing had not come yet. Chen Ao felt a little unhappy. He invited the person and was still pretending to behave at this time.
The servant handed over the tea and waited for half an hour before Jiang Bing came over yawning. He was wearing a virgin dress, wearing a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a deer-skin boots, and said indifferently: "Oh, County Magistrate Chen has been waiting for a long time." He sat down and was about to give Chen Ao a warning when he heard someone shouting: "Guaer..."
Guoer is Jiang Bing's nickname. When he heard this, he immediately looked at the tea cup that had just been picked up in his hand and fell to the ground: "You... Prince... Why are you here in Hangzhou? Could it be that His Majesty asked you to come?"
Zhao Zong rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "I came here by myself."
When Jiang Bing heard this, he followed with a look of earth and said, "I came here..."
A pair of cousins recognized each other, Chen Ao sat aside, laughing in his heart, and pretending to behave, haha, Lord Jiang, I will give you a hot potato first, see what other airs you are putting on.
Jiang Bing and Zhao Zong sighed and said, "The royal family cannot leave the capital. Now, no one knows it. I want to send the prince back to the capital immediately. If the censors are allowed to catch the storm, it will be a disaster."
Zhao Zong said: "I don't go back, why did I leave just now? Hangzhou City is very fun. I will stay with me for a few days and wait for my mother to be anxious. I will force my brother to look for me everywhere. At that time, the emperor will not be angry with me."
Jiang Bing stamped his feet in a hurry and said, "Prince, this is a big deal. If you make a mistake in Hangzhou, how can I afford it?"
Chen Ao said on the side: "It's probably too late to send it back now... Cough cough... Lord Jiang, the official has already secretly reported the prince's whereabouts overnight."
Zhao Zong and Jiang Bing looked at each other and said together: "You...you...have been hurt by you..."
Chen Ao ignored them. They were cousins and had no reason to take the blame, right?
Jiang Bing thought for a while and said, "The prince and the princess are tired from traveling, so I'd better take a break first. For the sake of this, I can only wait for Your Majesty's order to come. Come, pack up two lofts and ask the two distinguished guests to rest."
After Zhao Zong and Zhao Ziheng left, Jiang Bing looked at Chen Ao, sighed, and said, "You are Chen Ao?"
Chen Ao said seriously: "The lower official is Chen Ao."
Jiang Bing smiled bitterly: "I have seen you on Xichun Bridge. A hero is a teenager. Although you have written a secret message about today, don't mention this matter to others, do you know?"
Chen Aohe nodded and said, "The lower official understands that he must be as tight as a bottle."
Jiang Bing then said, "I heard that the county magistrate of Renhe County has taken office, right?"
It turned out that Jiang Bing also heard the wind. Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
Jiang Bing said: "I have heard of this Zhou Qing. I have recognized Cai Jing's great-grandson as his godfather. This person is so despicable that he is rare. You don't have to be afraid of him. I'll make the decision for you."
Chen Ao thought to himself, I would be afraid of him, he was a thing, and said, "Thank you, sir."
Jiang Bing smiled and said, "Do you know why I said this?"
Chen Ao thought for a while: "Since ancient times, no one mountain can accommodate two tigers. If Zhou Qing went to complain and the Funeral Department and the Execution Department intervened, the Lord would naturally have to promote the officials." Chen Ao had heard Yu Bichen say a long time ago that Jiang Bing and his family had no relatives and no reason, and suddenly came to show their attention. Chen Ao's thinking was originally meticulous, and with a meticulous heart, he could see through people's hearts. It was not difficult to guess this result.
Jiang Bing laughed: "It's really Chen Ao, okay, just think you understand."
As he was speaking, a chief in the mansion brought a reply and said, "Sir, the prosecutor of the Criminal Department is asking for a visit."
"It's coming so early!" Jiang Bing cheered up and said slowly: "Call him in."
Chen Ao couldn't help laughing in his heart. Lord Jiang was helping him on the surface, but in fact he used most of the ingredients. These officials in the border areas would not take a county magistrate and county magistrate seriously. Anything they care about was nothing more than just making a big deal and finding an excuse to fight openly and secretly.
Fortunately, Shen Ao had arranged a way out for himself, so he was not afraid of anything, and sat down calmly and drank tea.
The urging officer came in and saluted Jiang Bing and said seriously: "Sir, the official heard that County Magistrate Chen has come to the Grand Master's Mansion, so he came to invite County Magistrate Chen to the Office of the Criminal Office."
Jiang Bing smiled and said, "Oh, what did the Tixing Department ask Chen Ao to do?"
The prosecutor said: "There is a public case, and I need to ask County Magistrate Chen to ask."
Chen Ao stood up long: "I'll go with you."
The tutor smiled and said, "That's great."
Jiang Bing yawned: "Why don't I go too, I'm very idle today anyway."
The transshipment officer was going to the Examination Department, but no one could stop him. Not only did he come over under the order of Jin Shaowen, but he was also instructed by the pacifier Coco Lee.
After hearing the news about Zhou Qing, Coco Lee heard that Zhou Qing was going to sue Chen Ao, and suddenly felt energetic. He thought to himself that the last time Jiang Bing praised Chen County Commander like this was great. Today, he happened to use this case to show Jiang Bing that he was the leader of the two Zhejiang roads, or was he the one who was the real person.
Then he immediately asked someone to invite Chen Ao to come and confront Chen Ao and Zhou Qing. The prosecutor went to the county government first. When he learned that Chen Ao had gone to the Transportation Department, he immediately replied. Without the order of the pacification envoy, the little judge did not dare to ask for a person. Coco Lee said coldly to the judge: "The prince is still guilty of the law and is still guilty of the common people, let alone as a scholar, who actually put his colleagues to death. Such a crime is extremely serious. Not to mention that he hid in the Transportation Department, even if he entered the palace, he would ask him to explain clearly."
With this instruction, the referee immediately understood and rushed to the Transportation Office immediately, plucked up the courage to come and report to him.
