Chapter 42: The First Results
The one who came in to reply was Master Li, who taught Master Ji San to ride and shoot.
Early this morning, before dawn, Ji Xiaotang had already made arrangements with Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and selected the most loyal and capable ones from the small guys who followed Master Ji San to practice martial arts, and was taken out of the city by Master Li and Master Quan.
These people were ambushed under the cliff that Ji Xiaotang said, waiting for Jiang Qingshan to throw himself into the net.
Jiang Qingshan really hit the plan, and Master Li came back with someone to restore his life.
ββ¦β¦ Caught three. Master Li replied.
"Bring them all in and I'll take a look." Second Master Ji commanded.
Soon, the nurses walked in with three people who were tied up. All three of them were dressed in black, short dressed, and the face towels that had been covered by their faces had been ripped off.
Ji Xiaotang quickly glanced at the three of them, and immediately frowned.
Jiang Qingshan is not one of them.
Could it be that Jiang Qingshan was so careful, cherished himself when he arrived at this point, and did not personally go to the bottom of the cliff to find the bones of his ancestors?!
Not only Jiang Qingshan was not among them, but these three people turned out to be fresh faces.
Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes to look at Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and they didn't recognize these three people.
Second Master Ji waved his hand and asked the little guys to take the three of them down.
"Can you be interrogated?" Master Ji San asked Master Li.
"I've already asked,......," Master Li replied.
None of these three people are locals, and the confession asked by Master Li is that these three people were bought to do things with money.
"It's not your usual ruffian, it looks more like an outlaw." Master Li's face was very solemn.
"Outlaws?" Second Master Ji was taken aback.
As they expected. Jiang Qingshan will bring his henchmen with him. Including Jiang Qingshan, although they all have some skills, they will never be the opponents of Lian Jiazi. It's not an outlaw who can kill people.
"Who have they been bribed?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Got it." Master Li's tone paused, "These three people said in unison, saying that it was the Xie officials in the city who hired them with money. β
"Xie Daguan?" Master Ji San frowned.
"It's Xie Gui Xie Daguan." Master Li nodded.
"How could it be him?" Master Ji San's brows furrowed more and more.
Xie Gui is a wealthy family in Qingyuan County, Xie An's father. The Xie family is an old household in Qingyuan County, and they have opened a pawnshop since their ancestors, and now the largest pawnshop in Qingyuan County is the Xie family. In addition to pawnshops and other businesses. The Xie family also has good land.
Xie An is Xie Gui's only son, that is, the Xie An who died in a daze in Rouge Lane yesterday.
Xie Gui heard that he was sick at home because his son was gone. Almost followed with half a life. What did he do with these outlaws who spent his money to go down the cliff?
"Said that they got the news, and the group of guests who killed Xie An were hiding at the bottom of the cliff." Master Li said.
was able to justify himself, but Ji Xiaotang didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence.
"Daddy, uncle. What do you guys say? Ji Xiaotang asked Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji.
"This must be Jiang Qingshan's ghost." Master Ji San said.
Second Master Ji didn't speak. But obviously I also agree with Master Ji San's opinion.
"When the old lady was there, he praised Qingshan very much, saying that he was a capable person, but unfortunately he was born and didn't study." Second Master Ji seemed to think of something from the past and said in a low voice.
"Daddy, why bother with other people's ambitions. He's just playing all these tricks all the time, just pretending to be in front of his grandfather. Grandfather missed the old love very much, so he indulged him. Ji Xiaotang said.
"Xiaotang is right."
The confessions of these three men. What does Master Li think? Ji Xiaotang turned his head again and asked Master Li.
Master Li did not say whether the confessions of the three people were true or false.
"They are all outlaws, and they are not afraid of anything. Even if they are sent to the county government and punished, they will still say so. β
When Master Li said this, Ji Xiaotang understood.
"I didn't do this errand." Master Li suddenly pleaded guilty to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, "I caught these three, but I ran away with one." β
"Ran one?"
"Yes." Master Li nodded.
Although the Ji family chose the most capable nurses, after all, these people have only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and they are facing outlaws who they didn't expect, so although they have an advantage in numbers, it takes a lot of effort to catch these three people.
As for the person who ran away, Master Li saw that he might be the leader, so he personally confronted that person.
"It's a bit of strength, but it's still worse than the other three. I was going to catch him, but alas...... Or let him run. β¦β¦ Lao Quan was also injured. β
"Can you see his face?" Master Ji San asked with a glimmer of hope.
Master Li shook his head. At that time, the person was also covering his face, and he was confident that he could catch someone, so he didn't pull the black scarf that covered the person's face first.
"Just run, run." Ji Xiaotang thought for a moment and smiled. "He ran this time, but he couldn't run the next time."
"This time, thanks to Master Li." Ji Xiaotang thanked Master Li.
The Ji family attached great importance to this matter, and sent two martial artists to lead the team at one time, and Master Li was even arranged to be the leader.
"It's because I'm not doing things properly, how can I be the thank you of the master's family." Failing to complete the things entrusted by the master's family, Master Li felt very guilty. And in his hands, he also ran away with the leader of the people, which made him feel very ashamed.
"This thanks, Master Li deserves it very well." Master Ji San also said. What kind of Cheng dΓΉ has come for the little guys to practice martial arts, Master Ji San is very clear. It's okay for ordinary people, but it's not sure about the three outlaws above.
In the current situation, although one ran away, the little servants of the Ji family all came back safely, except for the whole master, who was a little seriously injured, and the others only suffered some flesh injuries. Master Li's contribution is not small.
"How is Master Quan's injury?" Master Ji Er asked, and as soon as he sent someone to invite Lang Zhong.
Master Quan was injured in the arm, and at this moment it had been bandaged, and he also came in to reply.
Master Ji San appeased. Let Master Li and Master Quan take the little ones down to rest.
Two more candles were added to the study, and Master Ji, Master Ji San, and Ji Xiaotang discussed in a low voice around the table.
"Why did you run out of Xie Guilai again?" Master Ji San said.
"It's supposed to be the blame." Ji Xiaotang said.
It seems that Jiang Qingshan has made sufficient preparations before. If you can't get the bones back, you will be found by the Ji family. Just throw the Xie family out. Even if you can't blame it, you can muddy the waters.
"Well," Second Master Ji agreed with Ji Xiaotang's statement, "He is such a thoughtful person." "That's why Second Master Ji will rest assured that he will hand over many things to Jiang Qingshan to do.
"The person I saw running away must be him." Master Ji San said.
"Even if it's not him, it's his henchman." Ji Xiaotang said. If that person is caught, Jiang Qingshan will no longer be able to get out of it.
"It's a shame. It would be nice if I went with me too. Master Ji San sighed.
"What nonsense." Second Master Ji immediately glared, "Those are all outlaws, with no eyes for knives and guns." If you get hurt a little bit, you still don't let the old lady live. β
Master Ji San originally asked to go together, but it was Master Ji who insisted on refusing to let go and left him. At that time, the excuse used by Second Master Ji was to stabilize Jiang Qingshan. In fact, he was afraid that Master Ji San would have an accident.
Master Ji San was speechless for a long time.
"I didn't catch Jiang Qingshan. What about these three people? β
Second Master Ji groaned.
Ji Xiaotang didn't speak this time.
"As soon as the morning dawns, I will take my post and send people to the county office." Second Master Ji thought for a while, "No matter what, you have to ask about their hometown." I look at those three people, but I'm afraid that they are carrying the case on their backs. β
Master Ji Er is also a person who has been a parent official, and he still has eyesight.
"Daddy is planning to tell Uncle Xie about the matter?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Hmm." Second Master Ji nodded.
"If these three people don't change, Xie Guike will be involved." Master Ji San said.
"Then didn't we fall for someone else's murder plan to borrow a knife?" Ji Xiaotang said.
"Xiaotang. What do you think? "Second Master Ji saw that Ji Xiaotang understood things so clearly. deliberately tested her.
"Then it's all counted." Ji Xiaotang did not hesitate at all.
"Xie An is so confused, Xie Gui may not have heard any rumors on his side."
The Xie family and the Jiang family are not monolithic.
Originally, the Xie family didn't disdain the Jiang family at all.
It was the Jiang family who relied on the big tree of the Ji family to gradually grow bigger, and the growth of one after the other, surpassing the Xie family. Not only did Xie An follow Jiang Xinglong as a younger brother, but Xie Gui also wanted to respect Jiang Qingshan as his elder.
But in his heart, Xie Gui may not be convinced of Jiang Qingshan.
The pawnshop in the county town was originally the sole family of the Xie family. Later, Jiang Qingshan also opened a pawnshop and stole a lot of business from the Xie family.
If Xie Gui knew that Xie An's fatal knife was stabbed by Jiang Xinglong, the Ji family did not intend to favor the Jiang family in this matter......
"I will plan it, and I just want to show favor to the Xie family on this matter......" Ji Xiaotang told Ji Er and Ji San all his plans.
Second Master Ji nodded again and again, and Third Master Ji's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"I'll take care of this." Master Ji San took the initiative to say.
"Can you do it?" Second Master Ji asked Third Master Ji.
"Promise to do it properly." Master Ji San patted his chest.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Second Master Ji smiled and nodded, "You are also older, and there are more things to be handed over to you in the future." β
Second Master Ji looked at Third Master Ji and showed a relieved expression for almost the first time.
"This time, the two martial artists and the nurses have worked hard," said Second Master Ji. Although Jiang Qingshan was not caught, it was also a credit to be able to catch those three people. "Everyone has a reward. I don't care about this matter, I'll leave it all to you. β
Second Master Ji completely entrusted the affairs of the martial artist and the nursing home to Master Ji San.
Originally, I thought it was just the children's stuff of Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang's uncle and nephew, but Second Master Ji didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just throwing away some money to make their uncle and nephew have a good time, and then they dispersed.
But this incident made Master Ji Er realize the role of this team of nurses.
If these people are not trained, they are just sent out to deal with ordinary errands, and this situation is not a problem at all.
"If you had ...... earlier, hey," Second Master Ji got up and walked over to Third Master Ji and patted Third Master Ji lightly on the shoulder, "I don't have to reuse Jiang Qingshan like that." β
The Ji family is still a little thinner, and there is no arm help.
"Second brother, I was ignorant before, and I won't be in the future." Master Ji San said, it was rare for him to be affirmed by his brother, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Our family works together, don't say it's Jiang Qingshan, no one wants to shake the foundation of our family." Ji Er said.
Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang both nodded.
Master Ji San talked about rewarding martial artists and protecting the courtyard.
"In the future, don't use your private house for such a reward, but take it from the public." Ji Er said.
Master Ji San did not refuse.
"Master Li and Master Quan......" Master Ji San specifically mentioned the two martial artists.
"Uncle also sees that something is wrong?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Master Li looked aggrieved in his heart, and it was hard to say something." Master Ji San said.
"The whole master is secretive, and it seems that there are things that are not easy to explain in person." Second Master Ji said.
"The three outlaws were all caught, but instead ran a ...... that was not so good" Ji Xiaotang was already suspicious.
Master Li's background has been investigated clearly, and Master Quan was recommended by Xie Ziqian. (To be continued......)
