"Miss Hongchen, please help me to see, is this kid Da Liu really dead?"

Li Zhuai was sweating profusely, and he didn't care about anything unlucky, so he left people at the door of the teahouse, panting.

"This is Liu Qing from our Yamen Express Shift, who was fine yesterday, but when he went to work today, he lost his breath when he fell on his back."

Li Zhu was about to cry.

The relationship between him and Liu Qing can be regarded as very iron, the ancestors have an old family in the family, and the relationship between the two is good, although Liu Qing is just an ordinary servant, he became a fast catcher, but the relationship is still there for decades.

Like them, don't look at the people who are always said to be lowly servants, in fact, they are also passed down from generation to generation, and their power is deep-rooted, sometimes they are more effective than the county lord, after all, they are native to their hometowns, and the county lords can't serve in the local area, and most of them don't stay long before leaving, but the government servants do it for a lifetime, and the father passes on the son to the son.

Now that he has died as a servant, the shock caused to the yamen is not much smaller than that of the county master, not to mention this unclear way of death.

Hongchen hurriedly walked over to take a look, and at a glance, she found that this one and Sun Da were the same situation, as soon as she said this, Li Zhu quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and then worried again!

If it's just Sun Da, it can be said that it may be an accident, after all, there are two dead people buried in front of him, and no one knows if it's the same situation, but now another one has popped up, obviously the possibility of an accident is getting smaller and smaller, and it can't be said to be really man-made.

"Artificial? Is it poisoning? ”

Li Zhu scratched his head, they Qixian is a small place. But there are still a few good doctors here, and the yamen has also sent people to invite them, and their county magistrate has always had face in this regard, but all the doctors said that they couldn't find anything.

Dr. Wu took a closer look at it, and said that the person was not dead yet, and there was half a breath of cruelty, but whether he could wake up or when he could wake up, no one could say.

Hongchen couldn't say it.

But when she looked closely, she was suddenly stunned. Squatted down and took a closer look. There is a layer of qi shrouded in his body, which is spreading out, and it has not yet dissipated, this aura is very strange. It's the same as the layer of yin that shrouds Jiang Zhuang's copper coins. At least from the same source.

Liu Qing also looks like a man in his thirties and forties. If you are strong, you must be healthy, even if you are not at the peak of your life. It is also a big man of quite a good stage.

Same as Jiang Zhuang.

Hongchen clapped his hands: "Isn't that thing also eyeing him?" ”

And she may have already done it, but it didn't work out, and generally speaking, in this case, according to the valuable experience she has gained from various ancient books, the evil is more persistent, and she will not give up easily when she focuses on something.

There was a record in the previous dynasty, there was a poor baby, when he was fifteen years old, he provoked a Wong Tai Sin, and then he was entangled for fifty years, and only after he died did he return to dust and return to dust, and it was completely over, Hongchen hurriedly inquired with Lao Ginseng.

The old ginseng and the spiritual creatures at home were dumbfounded - this is not a breed, they don't know!

"We are only close to the master, but we don't want to entangle with other humans, and besides, we can't entangle with each other." The old ginseng shook his head and smiled, "Except for Hongchen, you can sense us and understand what we are saying, in the eyes of others, I am a ginseng that can be eaten, although it is very valuable, although it may be valuable, no one will talk to me." ”

That's right.

Hongchen sometimes holds Jasmine, holds a book, and lies on the window to talk, and Luo Niang and the others only think that she has a quirk of talking to herself.

"Wang, huhu!"

Ping'an held his tail and shivered as if he had been bitten by something, Hongchen glanced at it, and just saw a big white cat walking by gracefully with its tail, and a touch of pride flashed from time to time in the green cat's eyes, at least Hongchen felt that he was proud from inside.

…… It seems that this big white cat and the old ginseng are not the same interest, they are really amusing cats and dogs, and they are very naughty.

The kitten and the fox looked at Ping An and were a little worried.

"Miss, I don't know why I'm always jumping around and barking in the past few days, isn't it sick?"

Hongchen shook his head, what matters now is not the dog, but the person, glanced at Li Zhukuai, who was nervous, and thought for a while: "Trouble Li Zhukuai to send someone to protect Jiang Jiazhuang's Jiang Zhuang, if there is any abnormal situation, come to me immediately." ”

"I suspect that the 'murderer's next target is Jiang Zhuang."

Li Zhu was stunned, so he responded happily, anyway, even the county magistrate was not alarmed by this matter, but they had to investigate it in private.

"Don't forget, just help keep an eye on it, even if you find something wrong, don't alarm the other party, first, so as not to startle the snake, and second, I'm afraid that that thing is not easy to deal with, and you don't know the trick to hurt yourself again."

Li Zhukuai's heart was pounding, and he nodded again and again.

"To be honest, we've been on errands for decades, and it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and I'm a little nervous." Not just nervousness, but also a little bit of excitement.

Men, sometimes they are actually very thrill-seeking, and those like Li Zhukuai who yearn for a horizontal knife are even more so, plus this time it involves the life and death of their brothers, so they are naturally more concerned.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll go back and mobilize the brothers to stare at Jiangjiazhuang for twelve hours a day! No matter what the evil thing is, make sure it doesn't dare to hurt people again! ”

Li Zhu quickly rubbed his hands, and Hongchen relaxed.

She knows better than others, that is, some evil spirits are very powerful, as long as they don't encounter that kind of Taoist very profound, there are ten or eight strong men poking there, there are enough yuanyang, the other party will be jealous, and most of the evil ones are not like ordinary people imagine, they can casually create a scorched earth, and the tragic scene of blood flowing like a river.

Mr. Guigu told her that she is spiritual, and she may provoke dirty things in the future, but as long as she is upright and angry, she doesn't need to worry, the most terrible thing is not ghosts, but people's hearts.

If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a ghost who is manipulated, then you can only see who is higher on both sides and who is luckier.

After sending Li Zhukuai away, Luo Niang went to worship the Buddha again, and also took Hongchen to worship together.

There is nothing wrong with her new hobby, and Hongchen follows her wishes. Although the Buddha statues in that room were begged from Puji Temple, Hongchen still felt that it was better to worship the Buddha than to give two more pillars of incense to his own door god.

After worshipping the Buddha, Hongchen wrote a letter at the desk and asked the kitten to send it to Jiang Zhuang.

Because she didn't know if there was something around him watching, Hongchen didn't write much specific and detailed, just pretended to be a piece of the junior, and said that she had been successful in practicing Liuyao gossip recently, and calculated a hexagram for Jiang Zhuang, and calculated that he had a catastrophe recently. If you stay at home and keep your door closed. Maybe you can avoid it.

A letter was written sincerely and solemnly, but the Jiang family received the letter, and Jiang Yi read it again. Gu slammed the table on the spot!

"Don't go out? Well said. The whole family can't drink the northwest wind? If she gives me eight thousand pieces of silver. I'm also happy to let you play at home all day, who wants to work? ”

Gu's face turned blue and he was angry. "You still protect her, look at what these words are, that's to my family's bad! If you are not allowed to do your work, what do you eat and drink at home, and what do you do for your unfinished errands, she will make up for it? Brother Yi is studying, and she is responsible for restraining her? ”

"I've said it many times, this is the last time, and I'll say it one last time."

Jiang Zhuang frowned: "Hongchen doesn't owe you, her kind of character, it must be the daughter of a big family, who fell into your hands and suffered more than ten years of sin, you should be glad that this child is a good child, generous enough, and broad-minded, otherwise not only you, I'm afraid that Brother Yi will also be dragged down by you." ”

He didn't say anything, but this time, Gu Shi vaguely felt a chill on his back, opened his mouth, and didn't dare to speak again.

Jiang Zhuang sighed, he actually knew that his wife was not knowledgeable, she was just an ordinary stupid woman, she had her own standards of right and wrong in her heart, what was good for her, her son, and her family was right, she refused to look outside, and she refused to think about others, even if she vaguely knew in her heart that everything she had done was extremely evil, and when she turned her head, she still only cared about her own small interests, and it was useless to say it.

He is also selfish, he has been looking forward to it from the beginning, even if Hongchen does not become the daughter of the Jiang family and does not return to his own home, it is better not to find her biological father.

Think about it, the world is so big, her father and mother are from other places, and where can she really be lucky to recognize her daughter, besides, if there is no accident, the other party does not know that she has lost a daughter, and there is no news after so many years, so it will be like this for a lifetime, and it is not bad.

What Jiang Zhuang thought about was originally very likely to be realized, Qixian County is a small place, and the news has always been closed, but the Xia family is not an ordinary rich family, and Hongchen's face is too conspicuous.

There were some small disputes here, Jiang Zhuang read the letter, and he didn't completely disbelieve Hongchen, although he didn't know where the kid learned a strange skill, but he knew that Ah Chen couldn't lie.

It's just that he has a lot of business at hand now, and the Fengyuan Dart Bureau of Qixian County wants a batch of swords, the quantity is not particularly large, but the amount of money given is a lot, and the time is also urgent, it seems that there is a big business, since Jiang Zhuang agreed, it is impossible to break the signboard, so he naturally has to work.

However, he still made up his mind, these days to Qi County to work honestly, not to go out to wander around, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, ordinary people, life is not easy, it is better to be careful.

On the second day, Jiang Zhuang went to the county seat.

Li Zhu quickly told Hongchen about this, Hongchen thought about it, and didn't go out of his way to stop it. It's not specifically to use Jiang Zhuang as bait, the main reason is that she doesn't want to interfere too much in other people's lives, besides, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, that messy thing can't be caught, can she still protect him every day?

Even if Jiang Zhuang is saved, the other party can still be replaced by someone else.

The sun is a little too poisonous.

"The thief really doesn't give people a way to live, some time ago it rained heavily, and there were two floods on the road, and now it's good, and every cloud covers the sun, and the brothers don't know how much they will suffer."

Gong Wei, the big dart head of Feng Yuan's dart bureau who spoke, this time the dart is important, and he wants to lead the team on a trip.

The so-called older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is, Gong Wei has traveled all over the four countries for thirty years, and has been to all parts of the four countries, from the north to the Daxue Mountain, to the east of the East China Sea, what kind of poisonous land is desperate, but now every time he goes out, he is more and more careful and cautious, not only has a new batch of weapons prepared, but even some saddles, kettles, clothes, shoes and hats and other small things, he has also seen it himself.

"You have to remember your own horses, your own equipment, check it yourself, you know, be careful now, you will have an extra life when you go out."

Gong Wei did not avoid Jiang Zhuang, and specially called him over.

"Master Jiang. You are an expert in building weapons, show our brothers, build them to take advantage of, you can rest assured that you will not be treated badly. ”

Jiang Zhuang smiled in response, and really went over to look at the figure of the gang of executioners, the length of their arms, and the size of their palms.

As he watched, two women, one in front of him and one behind him, slowly pushed a cart over, and the executioners suddenly cheered. Swarming. You scramble for the water in the car.

The woman in front of her took the first to take a sea bowl, still with ice cubes, slowly walked in front of Jiang Zhuang, and handed it to him.

"Big brother. You drink some water. ”

Gong Wei was stunned. Hey hey. poked Jiang Zhuang's waist.

Jiang Zhuang's face turned red in embarrassment, but he held it with both hands and thanked him in a low voice.

This woman is not one of those frivolous looking women. Born quietly, dressed very plainly, no grease and powder, not young, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, was abducted by a kidnapper a year ago, and then let Feng Yuan dart bureau to save him, refused to talk about the past, asked for the consent of Mr. Feng's darthead, and helped do some laundry and cooking errands in the dart bureau.

Her name is Sister Fang, she is beautiful, careful, and neat in her work, and soon established herself in the dart game, winning the hearts of the people.

In fact, the people in the dart game can vaguely see that Sister Fang has a good impression of Master Jiang, but Master Jiang is a person who has become a relative, so everyone doesn't see it, and they don't want to embarrass Sister Fang again.

To put it bluntly, they are half of the Jianghu people, so they don't pay as much attention to etiquette as ordinary people, so they say that Sister Fang'er's situation, if you change ordinary people, especially the women who are in the main room, they will inevitably look down on her, and feel that she is shameless, she is a fox, and she seduces men everywhere, but in the eyes of these dart masters, they feel that she is polite, like is like, free and easy, as for whether Jiang Zhuang wants to accept her, it is Jiang Zhuang's business, and she is also happy, and she is happy to lose, and she will not get what she can't get.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jiang Zhuang is not a wealthy family, just a blacksmith, and his family is also poor.

Jiang Zhuang drank the water, returned the bowl, and didn't look at her, so he hid aside to rest.

It wasn't until Sister Fang left that Gong Wei came over to break Jiang Zhuang's sesame cakes, and the two of them ate them separately, and whispered, "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Zhuang didn't bother to pretend to be confused, and said with a wry smile: "What else can you think?" Who are we? It's a bitter haha, where can I have that flowery intestine, my own mother-in-law can't keep it up, how can I afford to raise another one? ”

His words were categorical, not like a lie, Gong Wei was quite incredible, and shook his head: "Really, let me tell you, our sister Fang is not an ordinary person, she is a female celebrity on weekdays, especially good at embroidering beauty pictures, and she can get twenty taels of silver on the side of the embroidered large screen, which is not less than those of us who only rely on strength to eat. ”

Jiang Zhuang still shook his head.

"It's because she's so good that I don't want it, you can't pick up the pies that fall from the sky, my dad told me."

In fact, how could he not do it, he is a man, and he is not a mallet, which man can not be moved when he encounters a beautiful woman? But Jiang Zhuang is a person who understands and can control his own **, he knows what to do and what not to do.

As he said, he is an ordinary family, look at the villagers, which family will take a concubine back? Even if he doesn't have a son, he won't accept it, let alone have a son.

Gu and Sister Fang were ten streets away, but Jiang Zhuang married Gu, so he would never look at other women.

"Okay, Master Jiang, you are a man."

Gong Wei gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "By the way, the brothers are going to drink at night, go together?" ”

Jiang Zhuang thought for a while and shook his head: "I found someone to calculate a hexagram, and the hexagram said that I should not go out often recently, for fear that it will cause disaster." ”

The sky is as blue as washing, the sun is hot overlooking the earth, the flowers in the garden are like brocade, green everywhere, but at this time it is like autumn, scorched yellow and scorched, so that people can feel a hot breath when they see it.

"Whew, whew!"

Ping An stuck out his tongue, panting, and even his tail drooped.

The sales of ice cubes in the teahouse have increased greatly, and Luo Niang originally controlled some girls to use too much ice, for fear of catching a cold, so she couldn't take care of it these days, and the house was full of icebergs.

Due to the scorching heat, even the academy took a vacation, but there was no way, the conditions of the academy were not good. Within a few days, seven or eight students suffered from heat stroke and became very sick.

Hongchen simply stayed at home, completely changed from a student to a teacher, and sang with all day long, forcing Luo Niang's girls to forget what was hot and cold, and they were all about reading every day.

Li Zhukuai's side also passed some news from time to time, at first once a day, very positive, but Jiang Zhuang's life was very simple, except at home. It's to go to the dart game. Both sides are bored next to his iron-striking guy, and he doesn't go out, and there is little news.

Hongchen was not very down-to-earth, and used her physiognomy that was better than half-hung to show Jiang Zhuang at that time. His catastrophe is not small. It's good to be able to get through it. It's terrible if she can't get through, but she should have reminded her, and she can't really lock up Jiang Zhuang and not let him go out.

She just wanted to. Gu was absolutely unwilling.

On this day, the girls sat in the study and read, you read a sentence, I will explain, study together, the efficiency is higher, the kitten came over quietly, closed the door carefully, Hongchen turned his head and glanced at him, he reluctantly stepped forward and said: "Miss, Gu Shi came with her son, just stood at the door of our teahouse, let me come in and refused to come in, asked nothing to answer, just crying there, what do you think should be done?" ”

According to what he meant, why bother to alarm Miss, he just said that he was not there, he and Xiaoxi went over to deal with it. At Gu's age, he really wants to make trouble with a dead face, isn't it ugly for the young lady to go out and bump into it?

Hongchen frowned, and suddenly said, "Li Zhukuai can send someone here today?" ”

"Not today."

Kittens are also strange.

"Let's go, go out and have a look." Hongchen changed his clothes to see the guest, and went straight out, as soon as he went out, he saw Gu standing at the door in despair, and when he saw Hongchen, his eyes were bright, and he suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Second girl, second girl, you go and tell your father, my mother knows that I am wrong, my mother is confused, my head is not clear, now it's okay, don't do stupid things again, my mother will take you home, and our family of four will live a good life!" ”

Hongchen: "......"

Gu didn't take medicine today? Sick in the head!

"Woooooo She yelled for a long time, and when she saw that Hongchen was unmoved, she covered her face and whimpered and cried.

At her age, and she is not young, how can she see when she cries? The surrounding guests felt miserable.

Hongchen took a closer look at her face, "There is indeed something wrong with your conjugal palace, madam, don't cry, it's better to say something, although I don't know if I can help you, it's better to say it than if you cry here." ”

Gu gritted his teeth, took out a piece of paper from his arms, his hands trembled violently, and it took a long time to hand it to Hongchen.

The paper was crumpled, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a letter of resignation, with many charges listed on it, and the handwriting was indeed Jiang Zhuang's, Jiang Zhuang's handwriting was not good-looking, crooked, and the handwriting was not easy to imitate.

One of the heaviest is that she forced her daughter away.

Hongchen: "......"

"I can't live without him, Brother Yi can't live without his father, he's still young, he's still young, second girl, you go back with me!"

Gu Shi shouted in a heart-splitting voice, and reached out to pull Hongchen's arm, Hongchen retreated lightly, and avoided it, she was not energetic, and she had no strength, but this claw was so fierce that she didn't catch her, but she used too much force, and she actually cut a bloody hole in her palm.

Hongchen really didn't have the heart to listen to her nonsense, so he didn't care at all, and called Xiao Mo directly: "Xiao Mo, you ride a fast horse to find Li Zhu to find out the situation." ”

He asked Gu again, "Where is Master Jiang?" ”

Her voice was extremely high, and she suddenly suppressed Gu's, making her stunned for a long time, before she said: "No, I didn't see anyone, I woke up today and saw this ...... on the table" When she saw the resignation, it was a bolt from the blue, she didn't want to believe it, but she couldn't find her husband alive or dead, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she couldn't care that her son was still studying, so she went straight to Hongchen as soon as her brain was clouded.

Hongchen looked at Gu's face, pondering that she could not play a big role, beckoned the kitten and the little fox to drive straight to Jiangjiazhuang, returned to Jiang's house, and did not go to the house to see, directly closed his eyes and touched the pomegranate tree, and after a while, he picked up the rhubarb again and grabbed a handful of fried rice for it to eat.

Gu Shi also carried his son who was not in a state at all, stumbled into the door, searched around for a long time, and couldn't find a man, angry and anxious, his face was pale, and he was crying.

When the surrounding neighbors heard the movement, they couldn't help but talk in private, saying that Jiang Zhuang should have abandoned this loser a long time ago, but even if he wanted to leave, it would be Gu's departure.

Gu Shi listened to the discussion, angry and shocked, he had to spill before, but now he is frightened, and he doesn't have the strength. (To be continued......)
