285 The two hundred and eighty-fifth round
Jia Yu met Fang Zhongzheng and learned that he could go to Wang Ziteng to ask about the situation, but he was shocked to learn that Peng Luo was seriously ill and his time was short. Fang Zhongzheng shook his head and said: "You know Mr. Peng's temperament, he has already retired, and he didn't come this time, I thought it was just an excuse to shirk it, but the saint sent someone to invite him, and the official went to know that he was really terminally ill, and time was running out." Fang Zhongzheng shook his head again and again, sighing in his mouth, "A generation of great Confucian scholars, it is the time when they can serve the country, but it is such an ordinary situation, it is really a sigh." ”
When Jia Yu heard this, he naturally felt a sense of desolation in his heart, thinking that he should hurry back to the house and tell Hu'er, He has been close to Peng Fuzi since he was a child, and if he hears the news, he doesn't know what will happen. Jia Yu thought about it, and saw that Fang Zhongzheng arched his hand at him again, and said goodbye, After thinking about it, it would be useless to go to the military department now, and besides, he would go to collect the money after noon, so he would not delay any longer, and transfer the horse's head and go back.
After returning home, after sitting for a while, he ordered the family to go to the ticket number, after all, he was going to pull silver, this time there were a lot of people, a huge group of people went out of the house, and the people on the street stopped to look at each other. Someone has to guess. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. In a small wonton shop on the side of the street sat a man listening to what everyone was saying.
This person has been guarding the gate of Rongguo Mansion for several days, and he is either a bystander or one of the soldiers who participated in the kidnapping of Jia Zheng. It's just that his position is low, and he is timid, but he is still a little alert, so he was sent out to be responsible for delivering letters. This person's surname is Xing Minghuang, and he is not very happy to participate in this matter, but the people who lead this matter are his fellow villagers and one of his cousins. Even if he denounces it, he will inevitably be punished together. Besides, if this matter is discussed in detail, it is also the old prince who has done the bad thing first, he asked Jia Yucun to pass the word to detain the person first, and then pretend to be robbed by the mountain bandits. As for what the old prince plans to do later, I don't know how to deal with it like me, but unfortunately I haven't waited for the prince's order, how do I know that the prince has fallen and been circled. This time, the brothers are suffering, and the person who robbed them has become a hot potato, and they can't let it go, and they are afraid of causing a bigger disaster if they kill it, and the brothers have been tossing for several days, and finally there is a clever pouting that it is better to simply fake the show, blackmail Jiafu to point money, and the brothers will divide a point, and return to their hometown and take their families to a remote place to avoid it, after all, the world is big, and I am afraid that there is no place to live if I have money.
This person guards the wonton stall these days pretending to be a short-term worker, there are many shops on this street, and there are inevitably short-term errands to do, Xing Huang has been watching every day, supplemented by part-time work. When he came, his cousin confessed that if the letter was delivered, and he saw that there was a day in Jiafu with a large number of people coming in and out carrying boxes, and they were heavily guarded, it was time for them to prepare the silver, and then you sent the second letter, and the matter would be done.
Xing Huang nodded in response, but after thinking about it, where did he know when Jiafu would raise money, he was alone, and if someone moved money through the back door in the middle of the night, he wouldn't know. When my cousin heard this, he laughed at his stupidity, this is a time when there are few people in the morning and evening, if you don't see it, it won't be in the way, just wait for the first letter to enter the house seven days later, and then send the second letter in. Xing Huang asked more, but his cousin didn't answer, but told him not to stay in the capital after the two letters were delivered, and to wait at the Hongxing Inn in Zhili Mansion.
Xing Huang stayed in the wonton stall, thinking in his heart that one more day would be the seven-day period. Anyway, I haven't seen it in the past few days, and if it comes to the end of the day, how can I send the second letter in? Then take candy to coax the children to send it, I'm afraid it won't work, this morning I saw that there are several more big dogs at the gate of Jiafu, and the dogs have been led, but whenever someone gets closer, they can't stop barking, and they look fierce. I saw several children crying in fright. Xing Huang looked at the dog and was worried, so Xing Huang didn't go to pick up work today, just wandered around the street, thinking about how to deliver the letter. After spending time until noon, I felt that my stomach was unbearable, so I went to the wonton stall again and asked for a bowl of wonton pads to pad my stomach. After only half eating, he saw a large group of people coming out of Jiafu. There are few people on the street who are suspicious. Xing Huang was even more concerned at this time, thinking that Jiafu would not rush to the mansion to pull silver at noon.
After a while, I saw that the team of men and horses in Jiafu had returned, and the carriages were all tightly covered, but they saw that the horses pulled the cart quite hard, and only a few steps were taken with a whip, and the wheels rolled out deep through the mud. Xing Huang thought to himself, this time it should really be a piece of money. Xing Huang counted carefully, and there were twenty smaller carriages. At this time, Xing Huang couldn't help but start thinking about such a few silver taels, he must be able to get a lot, and then he won't have to worry about the rest of his life, as if he watched those silver coins go to himself, and his heart was full of joy.
Jia Yu walked slowly on the street with the money, and he did not shy away from swaggering in and out of the ticket number, just hoping that the kidnappers could see this scene. Otherwise, he would be busy in vain, and when he returned home, he put the money in the warehouse, and arranged for someone to take care of it. Jia Yu hurriedly went to find Jia's mother, and said that he planned to ask Wang Ziteng about it tomorrow, Shi Fei'er nodded when she heard it, and now she can only prepare and wait for news. As for what happens after that, we can only see the moves.
Jia Yu went back to the house, feeling very tired, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered someone to bring tea in, Jia Yu drank tea, his clothes had not changed, and the chair had not yet been hot, so a small servant around Jia Hu hurriedly came to report, saying that Brother Hu had an accident. Jia Yu was startled, and hurriedly asked what was going on, so he heard the kid wipe his tears and say: "The master just received the letter, and when he read the letter, he spit blood and fainted. ”
Mrs. Zhang also panicked when she heard this, and dropped the teacup in her hand, got up and rushed to Jia Hu's room, Jia Yu angrily reprimanded: "Are you all stupid? Why don't you hurry up and take the post to ask the doctor!" Jia Yu was so anxious that he slapped the table with his hand again and again, urging: "Why are you still stunned, go quickly!"
The little guy didn't dare to slack off and ran out. Jia Yu sat down on the chair, and the big housekeeper on the side said carefully: "Do you want to go and see?" When Jia Yu arrived, Jia Hu had already woken up, and at this time let Mrs. Zhang rest on the couch, her face was pale, her eyes had lost their former brilliance, and she was sluggish, and Jia Yu didn't see her when she came in. Mrs. Zhang sat beside her, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and secretly wiped her tears. The faces of the people in the room all looked sad.
Jia Yu saw that Jia Hu was awake, but he put a little snack and walked to the couch in three steps and two steps. When Jia Hu saw Jia Yu coming, he struggled to get up, and Jia Yu patted him on the shoulder, telling him to sit down and not get up. Just as he was about to ask the reason, he heard Jia Hu crying: "Master, Mr. Peng Fuzi is dead." ”
Jia Yu's heart chuckled suddenly, he originally mentioned this matter when he met Fang Zhongzheng today, he heard that Peng Luo was sick, and he was still thinking about how to tell Jia Hu, but he received the news of his death in a blink of an eye, his son has been studying with Peng Luo since he was a child, and his feelings are very deep, not inferior to the relationship between father and son. Now that I was suddenly shocked to hear the bad news, it was normal to be difficult to accept it for a while, look at Jia Hu like this, I will have to recuperate for some time when I wake up. When he was young, he fainted and vomited blood, but he didn't dare to delay.
Jia Yu patted Jia Hu on the shoulder and said: "I didn't expect it to be such bad news, thinking of how reckless and free Mr. Peng was in the past, you don't have to be too sad for the time being, so that you can live up to Mr. Peng's teaching in the past." Jia Yu didn't dare to persuade him, after all, he was also very sad when he heard about it, and Mrs. Zhang on the side also accompanied her to wipe her tears. The two said some words of relief, and the doctor invited at this time also arrived, so naturally they were in a hurry and did not mention it. After the doctor prescribed the prescription, Jia Mu and other places also sent people to ask about the situation, which made Jia Hu cry again.
Leave aside the table here for the time being, Jia Yu is restless in the study alone at night, his heart is restless, and he doesn't know what Tai Sui has committed in the house this year, why is it always a wave of unevenness, and now Jia Zheng's matter is in suspense, and when he encounters this incident, it makes people breathless. Looking a little further, there are still two cases that the royal family has not done. Jia Yu's brain hurts.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Zhang came to look for Jia Yu, and saw that she was still worried, although she was also worried, but she still said good words to comfort and persuade her, she had just come back from Jia Hu, and now she should be better than before, although she was sad, but she also told Mrs. Zhang that Jia Yu didn't have to care too much about herself, and now it is the right thing to find her uncle first. Jia Yu felt a little relieved when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Wang Ziteng tomorrow to investigate, maybe there would be some clues.
Everyone in Jiafu was worried, and the kidnapper Xing Huang here was also worried, and he circled around the inn at night, pondering how to send the letter to Jiafu. The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and I couldn't sleep in bed, so I simply walked on the ground, just lay down on the bed for a while, wandered around the house for a while, and didn't close my eyes all night. I was so worried that I couldn't do it, but I didn't have a way, and when I got to the day, I made a slight mistake in the belly of the fish, so I simply put on my clothes and went out.
Xing Huang came out very early, there was not even a small stall on the street, and the pedestrians on the street were also sporadic threes and threes, Xing Huang turned around twice on the street, and saw a donkey cart from a distance, Xing Huang was happy that this car he knew, it was a car that sent some fresh fruits and vegetables to Jiafu, these days, he had seen it a few times, this car came early in the morning, all went to the corner door, Xing Huang's eyes rolled and he had an idea.
When the donkey cart got closer and closer, he happened to face Xing Huang, Xing Huang settled down and walked over to the handlebar, and asked in a dumb voice: "This dish looks good, how much money is a basket?"
The handle of the donkey cart waved the small whip in his hand in the air, and scolded: "You are also not long-sighted, this dish is for Jiafu, for Miss Gongzi, old lady and Mrs. Gongzi, where is the wheel for people like you to buy!" After speaking, he waved the small whip and drove Xing Huang aside. After all, Xing Huang was also a soldier, and he stretched out his hand quickly, and when the car hit his side, he took the letter from his arms, put it on the vegetable basket, and touched a fruit and pressed it up. The letter was left in the car. Originally, there was a person sitting in the back of the car, perhaps because he came out too early, and he was sleeping soundly by the vegetable basket at this time. Xing Huang's actions were naturally not seen. Xing Huang put aside the letter, walked a few steps quickly into a back alley, and secretly stared at the donkey cart delivering vegetables and stopped at the corner gate of Jiafu. 166 Reading Network
