Winter is long and leisurely.

It will snow every now and then. Although it is not a heavy snow that covers the sky, it stops for a while, and the temperature will not only fail to rise for a long time, but will continue to fall.

Many people say that Huaili County has not encountered this situation for many years, which is probably a sign of great danger.

In order to prevent negative emotions from spreading, Nie Wentao issued a notice to explain the temperature problem, saying that this is a normal phenomenon and has nothing to do with good or bad luck. More than ten years ago, there was a situation where the low temperature lasted for a long time, which was just a cycle.

Although the notice is clearly written, it does not seem to have much effect. The theory of good and bad is obviously more marketable, and it becomes more and more intense.

Nie Wentao was helpless, but fortunately, the New Year slightly diluted the negative atmosphere.

It was very fun during the Chinese New Year. Du Yong summoned Nie Wentao, barefoot old ghost, Gao Qian, Qu Boss, Qu Laoer, Qu Lao San, and Lingling Qingyao Cheng Songya, as well as the Yong family army. More than a dozen people were lively for several days.

The Doudizhu was spread, which aroused great interest from everyone, saying that it was much more fun than dice and Paijiu.

Du Yong took the opportunity to launch other poker games, running fast, slap, upgrade, etc., which aroused everyone's interest.

On the second day of the lunar month, a very confusing boss came to pay New Year's greetings to Du Yong. After seeing poker and various ways of playing, he was amazed and said that he would popularize these kingly laws into the casino he was about to open.

Although Qianzhou cannot help but bet, it is very difficult to open a casino. The formal procedures are just a cover. The key is that someone needs to be there, otherwise they can only open an underground black casino and will be taken over by the government at any time.

Because this boss supported the reconstruction of Huaili City, he helped Nie Wentao a lot. So Nie Wentao gave him the qualification to make a gambling, but he also put a lot of restrictions. First of all, the tax rate is astonishingly high, and secondly, the management aspect is that there must be supervision from the county government office.

Regarding Nie Wentao's conditions, the boss agreed and even gave Du Yong a so-called copyright fee to win support.

Du Yong accepted the money and said nothing. He did not object to the casino, but he would not openly support it.

The boss left with satisfaction, and Du Yong did not object to it, the best result.

In addition to casinos, brothels and restaurants have opened first, not just one or two, but more than a dozen stores at the same time, causing a big sensation in the small Huaili City. And the business is good, which marks that Huaili City is rapidly regaining its former prosperity.

Nie Wentao is undoubtedly the happiest about this prosperous scene. He started to get worse on the fourth day of the lunar month and handle big and small matters.

After the seventh day of the lunar month, the barefoot old ghost and the Yong family army no longer stayed at home, but went out to have fun all day long, going out early to come back late, and even returning home in the early morning the next day.

The only permanent population in the family is Du Yong and three little girls.

Three little girls occasionally go shopping, and Du Yong becomes a pure otaku.

Otaku has the fun of being an otaku. Du Yong practices martial arts, reads books, and analyzes the situation every day, and lives a very regular life.

Cheng Songya is very adaptable. She is very happy with the name of Du Yong's cousin and the new name of Shen Luoyan. She wears makeup every time she goes out, concealing her original appearance. She is not disgusted with this because it must be done.

Cheng Jiping wrote several letters, the most recent one was the 16th day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival, and the letter informed the situation in the capital.

The capital is not aware that Cheng Songya has run away from home, but after all, she is a member of several poetry clubs. If she doesn't show up for a long time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. Therefore, some poetry club members will visit her and fool them all for Cheng Jiping, saying that her daughter is not in good health and she has not been able to participate in poetry club activities recently.

The second highness Pei Huo was naturally very concerned, so he came to the door in person, saying that he really wanted to see Miss Cheng, but wherever he could see him, of course he did not dare to openly challenge Cheng Jiping, so he had to leave some gifts and then settle for the second best friend Xie Caiyan.

Xie Caiyan told Pei Huo that she had not seen Cheng Songya, which disappointed Pei Huo.

"It's not a solution to hide it all!"

Du Yong took the letter from Cheng Songya. After reading it, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Songya reached out to retrieve the letter and glared at Du Yong and said, "You don't want to send me back to the capital, do you?"

Du Yong glanced at her speechlessly and said, "Since I have collected your jewelry and gold, I will do things. I mean, there are times when your father can't hide it."

He paused and sighed: "After all, it's the eldest lady of the family. She hasn't shown up for a few days, so many people are concerned about it."

Cheng Songya calculated by counting: "Is it good for a long time? It's almost a month."

Du Yong was stunned: "Have you been that long?"

Cheng Songya was helpless and said angrily: "I arrived in Huaili City in mid-December. Now it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Isn't it a month? Your cousin's work is very unqualified."

Du Yong was caught off guard by his cousin and sprayed the tea in his mouth on the spot, spraying a little on Cheng Songya.

"Huh!"

Cheng Songya wrinkled her little nose, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and looked at Du Yong with disgust.

Du Yong apologized: "I'm sorry, but I can't help it. You asked my cousin to make me furry."

Cheng Songya muttered, "It's obvious that you said to me as my cousin, but now I'm furious. What does it mean? Will I make you very depressed by being your cousin?"

Du Yong shook his hand and denied it, saying lightly: "Privately, just call me my name."

Cheng Songya nodded and then smiled: "Okay cousin!"

Du Yong couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Cheng Songya asked with the opportunity: "Cousin, what are you doing in the study every day?"

Du Yong spread his hands: "What else can I do in the study? Just read books."

Cheng Songya retorted: "In addition to reading books, you also write and draw on paper. After we come in, you will put it away immediately, as if there is something shameful."

Du Yong frowned and said, "What's shameful, it's so ugly."

Cheng Songya smiled and said, "Since it's not, then you are talking about what you are writing about?"

Du Yong raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, I'm practicing."

"Practice?"

Cheng Songya didn't expect that it was the answer and said curiously: "Writing is also practicing qigong? Even if you practice qigong, why are you sneaky?"

Du Yong smiled mysteriously: "My method of practicing qigong is very special, you don't understand it! The reason why I am sneaky is because I can't spread it and I can't let you learn my tricks secretly."

Cheng Songya was very unhappy with Du Yong's pretentious attitude and muttered: "Who cares about it!"

Du Yong laughed and said, "It's better not to be rare!"

He wrote and painted on paper, of course, not practicing martial arts, but analyzing the situation.

There was news from Quzhou that after a little warmth, they would go to the mountains to suppress bandits and ask Huaili army to send troops to cooperate.

Although the mission of Huaili Army is only restrained, the terrain in the mountains is complex and there are many bandits, so it is not easy to enter the mountains. Du Yong wrote and painted to plan the route and deduced various encounters. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be seen by Cheng Songya. If she saw it, she might be excited to participate, and even proposed to go into the mountains to suppress bandits.

Putting aside this, Cheng Songya asked again: "Cousin, does my father have any letters to you alone?"

Du Yongqi said: "Why did your father write me alone? Do you tell me to take good care of you? Don't give me some instructions on this matter. If I don't do it well, he will kill me?"

Cheng Songya shook her head: "It's not about that, but about your Du family's case. My father said he would follow up."

Du Yong said lightly: "I don't care about that case."

Gu Feng

Cheng Songya opened her mouth wide: "Don't you care?"

Du Yong nodded and emphasized again: "There is Dali Temple in the capital and my uncle, so I don't need to care, so don't ask me again."

Cheng Songya had a lot of questions in her heart, but when she saw Du Yong's cold look, she stopped asking.

At this moment, a sound came from outside the door, and it was He Laosan.

He Laosan was full of excitement: "Young master, the county magistrate caught a spy in the brothel!"

"Um?"

Du Yong was intrigued and asked, "What spy? Which aspect?"

He Laosan replied: "It seems like he is a master in the mountains. Now that person has been taken back to the county jail cell. We happened to be drinking in that brothel just now. Brother Yang and his team went to the county jail first and asked me to come back to notify you."

Du Yong quickly got up, did a few chest expansion exercises, and twisted his neck again: "Let's go!"

Cheng Songya quickly followed: "Cousin, I want to go too!"

Du Yong frowned: "I'll go to interrogate the spy, what are you doing?"

Cheng Songya said for granted: "I am also from Huailicheng now, so it is worth caring about major matters!"

Du Yong had no choice but to explain: "Don't talk nonsense later."

Cheng Songya was overjoyed, saluted as if she was a decent person, and said loudly: "Abide by the order!"

Lingling and Qingyao were about to cook lunch, so they asked, "Young master, will you come back for dinner later?"

Du Yong nodded: "Come back!"

After arriving at the county government office, he went straight to the prison cell under the leadership of the yamen runners.

The cell is newly built, and it doesn't look dirty or gloomy. There are almost no prisoners now and they are empty.

The so-called spy was imprisoned in the deepest cell. When Du Yong entered, important people from Huaili City had gathered.

Boss Qu held a whip in his hand and stared at the spy tied to the pillar with a cold look.

Nie Wentao and Gao Qian were sitting on the table, holding a few small items and observing them, daggers, jade pendants, belts, etc., which should be all from the spy.

The barefoot old ghost, Yang Jin, the jade-speaking man, Da Hei sat on another table, drinking slowly with wine. Judging from the appearance of the wine jar, he should have been brought out of the brothel.

The spy is about thirty years old, has a slim figure, fierce eyes, and has several blood marks on his body. It is obvious that he has just been whipped.

Dahei quickly brought two stools and asked Du Yong and Cheng Songya to sit down.

Du Yong waved his hand, looked at Nie Wentao, and asked straight to the point: "What's the situation?"

Nie Wentao pointed to the spy and said coldly: "This person is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. These days, they are secretly promoting the evil omen, saying that the court will not stop snowing if it is unrighteous. Huaili County will have no grain this year. If you want to survive, you must leave quickly, and so on. The constables have been keeping a long track of him."
