Chapter XXIV
85_85797After the so-called entanglement of relatives and friends, and then seeing Zhuang Shisan's cold eyes, Ji Ji didn't sleep well all night, at this time, she really moved the plan to move out of Jing County.
However, this idea is good, but her home, her father's grandfather, and even the cemetery and temple of the ancestors of the first five or six generations are all here, how can it be so easy to give up?
Ji Ji woke up to the sound of birdsong chirping.
Ji Ji opened her misty sleepy eyes, looked at the gradually yellowing leaves, and secretly thought: It's almost late autumn. She got up from the couch, and after washing, Ji Ji came to the study.
There are not many books in the study, in fact, the books at this time are precious, and the number of books represents the heritage of a family, and there are only a thousand books in the study of the Ji family, which is actually the norm for a small family like her.
Ji Ji walked over.
She picked up a book and carefully wiped the dust off it with silk, Ji Ji looked at the small, familiar font left by her father next to the book, and unconsciously her eyes were a little moist.
In terms of knowledge, her father is far inferior to the current Ji Ji, so since the headache for a while and the memory of her previous life has recovered, Ji Ji no longer pays attention to her father's opinions. Now that she sees things and thinks about people, she looks at them seriously.
After flipping through four or five volumes in a row, what Ji Ji held in her hand was a book of the Book of Mountains and Seas.
She had memorized this book by heart, and she flipped it quickly.
When she turned to the chapter of the strange beast and the silverfish, she suddenly saw a few lines in the lower right corner, leaving a few lines of her grandfather's familiar font: "When I was ten years old, I saw my grandfather looking at a picture day and night, and asked him, Yun: This is my family's treasure land." ”
Treasure Ground!
I have a treasure trove in my house!
All of a sudden, Ji Ji's heart was beating like a drum, and the legend about the Zheng family's beginnings quickly poured out of her heart!
For the next whole day, Ji Ji was in the study, but to her disappointment, even if she had finished all the 1,000 books in the study, she didn't see any similar words, let alone such a picture.
In the evening, Ji Ji put down the last book and thought to herself: Maybe this is just a legend. Thinking so, in her heart, she was finally distracted by this one thing.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
On the third day, Ji Ji had just had breakfast, and Lu Shen came to report, "Girl, Zheng Jialangjun and sister-in-law are here, they say that they haven't seen their sister-in-law for a long time, and they miss it very much." ”
Miss me?
Ji Ji smiled, she stood up and turned around, "Then let's go to the meeting." ”
When Ji Ji came to the gate, Zheng Kuang and Zheng Mi's donkey cart were spinning around there boringly, and when they saw Ji Hi coming, Zheng Mi just pursed her lips and glared at her, Zheng Kuang had already waved her hand and shouted: "Auntie Auntie, this way, this way." ”
Ji Ji walked over and said with a smile: "It's rare for the milk brother and Ah Mi to come, and Ah Mi is very honored." She climbed into the donkey cart, as if she had never had a holiday with Zheng Mi, Ji Ji said to Zheng Mi with a smile: "Ah Mi, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are more and more radiant." ”
Zheng Mi let out a soft snort from his nose.
Ji Ji ignored her cold face and asked again, "Ah Mi, where are we going to play?" ”
Zheng Mi didn't answer, and Zheng Guan on the side replied with a smile: "It's to go to the Drunken Immortal Building, Auntie, you have alienated our group of playmates in the past few months, and everyone misses you." ”
Ji Ji was stunned, and said a little hesitantly: "That Zhuang Thirteen ......"
Zheng Guo interrupted her, "What Zhuang Thirteen?" He left Jingxian County yesterday, hehe, now this drunken immortal building is your brother and my property! ”
What the?
Ji Ji was stunned again, she looked at Zheng Kuang, and thought, in the past, this Zheng Kuang was always inseparable from Zhuang Shisan, I thought they were friends, but I didn't expect something to happen to Zhuang Shisan, Zheng Kuang gloated in such a gloating tone.
Seeing Ji Ji surprised, Zheng Mi on one side sneered: "You killed his mother and made him lose face, what are you pretending to be innocent now?" ”
Zheng Kuang hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Ah Mi! ”
Zheng Mi let out a cold snort from his nose, don't overdo it.
Zheng turned to Ji Ji and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be surprised, Auntie didn't mean that." ”
Ji Ji lowered her head and sighed softly, "I understand." With that said, she finally lost the interest in talking.
Several donkey carts drove on the still lively streets of Jingxian County, and Ji Ji looked outside, and secretly thought: It turned out that Zhuang Shisan actually sold the industry and left Jingxian.
But the more he was like that, the more frightened she became.
Pursing her lips, Ji Ji thought: Let's leave Jing County as much as possible.
In a blink of an eye, Ji Ji said again: Before leaving, I have to clear the inside and outside of the manor, since my grandfather left that sentence, maybe my family really has some hidden treasures.
At this moment, Zheng Mi's voice came from the side, "What's the matter?" Why are there so many more people in Jing County? ”
Ji Ji was stunned, turned her head to look, sure enough, next to the streets of Jing County, there are unkempt haired, barefoot begging homeless people everywhere, this street is the center of the street is quite good, from a distance, not far away on the side street, crowded with this kind of homeless people.
Zheng Kuang's voice came at this time, "I came from Zhangshui County, a neighboring county, and I heard that a new county order came there, and as soon as he took office, he levied taxes on a large scale, so that it was not enough for the people under his rule to hand over all the grain harvested in the autumn, hey." ”
Zhangshui County?
Almost as soon as these three words entered her ears, Ji Xi's brain clinked.
Seeing that she was distracted, Zheng Guo turned his head and shouted with concern: "Auntie, what did you think of?" How about this expression? ”
Ji Ji came back to her senses, she glanced at Zheng Jing, lowered her head quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she frowned, and said softly: "I was in the restaurant in Jingzhou City a few days ago, and I heard two idlers say that the biggest robber leader in our county, their nest is in Zhangshui County. Now that the new county order is acting like this, isn't it helping the robbers? Ay! ”
When Zheng Guo heard this, his heart flickered, and in a blink of an eye, he laughed and said, "This shouldn't be enough." It's just that in his heart, he is thinking: Why do I think Grandma's words are very important?
Until he entered the Drunken Immortal Building, laughing and having fun with his friends, Zheng Guo was still thinking about it. As soon as Ji Ji was sent back, Zheng Kuang hurried to his father's study.
When he came to Zheng's father's side, Zheng Guan bowed and said in a low voice: "Father, after listening to Auntie's words today, the child has a faint gain, and I have come to report to my father." ”
Father Zheng was still quite interested in this capable son, he turned around, smiled and said, "Oh? What did she say? ”
Zheng said: "Auntie said that when she was in Jingzhou City a few days ago, she heard idlers say that the robbers' nests in several nearby counties were in Zhangshui County. ”
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as Zheng Kuang's voice fell, Zheng's father stood up suddenly.
Seeing his father's face flushed with excitement, Zheng was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What did my father remember?" ”
After pacing a few steps in the study, Father Zheng turned to Zheng and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the Zhangshui County Order, my father has also heard about it. However, Shixian ordered to come to Zhangshui this time to do more than just raise taxes. He also brought 1,000 private soldiers with him, and it is said that as early as half a month ago, the robbers in Zhangshui County were swept away, and even those prodigal people who did evil in the village were all hidden. ”
Zheng Guo pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he raised his head and said excitedly to Zheng's father: "Father, doesn't this mean that if we are lucky, we may be able to dig out the robbers' nest without danger?" ”
Zheng's fortune was originally derived from a windfall. For Zheng's father, thirteen years ago, he dug out the treasure cave of the Ji family, and then became rich overnight. When he turned around, he leaked a gold and a half gold from his fingers to the Ji father and daughter, and he gained a reputation of benevolence and kindness, which was so beautiful and unforgettable that he never forgot it until now. Therefore, as soon as Zheng Kuang's words of "digging out the old nest" came out, Zheng's father was so excited that he even closed his nose.
At this moment, Zheng Guo frowned and shook his head again and again, "No, no, no." Such a big thing, even those idlers know about it, maybe the Zhangshui County Order also knows, those silver wealth, I'm afraid it will already fall into his hands. ”
Father Zheng thought about it for a while, and after he sighed secretly, he finally didn't give up, thought about it and said: "In this way, you take dozens of people and go to Zhangshui County to buy land and property in the name of going to Zhangshui County to have a look, remember to explore the tone of the county government!" ”
"Yes."
Zhangshui County and Jing County are less than 100 miles away, and in less than six days, Zheng Guo sent someone to send a letter back. In the letter, which was sealed with three layers of fire paint, Zheng Guo told Zheng's father that the Zhangshui County Decree did not know about the robbers' nest at all, and his attention was all on the fields in Zhangshui County. Zheng also said that the 1,000 private soldiers of the Zhangshui County Order were set up to protect him.
This news made Zheng's father ecstatic.
So, Zheng's father immediately took the remaining 100 or so guards in the manor and hurried to Zhangshui County. As early as thirteen years ago, I told my father that wealth in the world has always been a dangerous one. Although, what Ji Ji said is not necessarily true, and there may not be a nest of robbers in Zhangshui County, even if there is a nest, it may not be found by him. But in Zheng's father's opinion, this kind of small difficulty is nothing, it is nothing, and their father and son are just running for nothing. And if there is any gain, it will be a major event of Zheng's century-old wealth.
But what the Zheng father and son didn't expect was that they took their own guards and wandered around the one-acre and three-point land of the Zhangxian Order for a few days. So, while the Zheng father and son were still searching for them all over the mountains, the Zhangshui County Commander took hundreds of private soldiers to capture them.
Until the father and son were escorted to the Zhangshui County Order, Zheng's father was not flustered, he thought, if he really can't do it, he will send the news to the Zhangshui County Order.
But he didn't expect that the Zhangshui County Decree would kill them on the spot without saying a word! When Zheng's father told the secret in a panic, the Zhangshui County Decree did not release their father and son as he thought, but became ......more and more angry.
