The night was deep, and Huangyan County had fallen into silence, only occasionally I could hear the long tune of the husband, and the bright moonlight projected down, reflecting the alley clearly.

"This is it." Zhang San, who had been sent to Huangyan County for nearly two months, pointed his finger and said in a low voice: "From the first to the sixth, it's all there." ”

Qian Yuan looked fixedly, then turned his head to look at the back, which was the backyard of his mother Tan's house in Huangyan County.

"I found it out a month ago." Zhang San explained: "The surnames of the owners of these six families are different, but they all changed hands this year, and no one enters or leaves on weekdays. ”

Qian Yuan was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Injured?" ”

"Uh, a minor injury...... Minor injury ......"

"Your hand?"

"It's not...... Just look at the small ones carefully...... I immediately reported to the young master. ”

"The news hasn't been revealed, has it?"

"Never." Zhang San nodded and said, "There are four people in total, and the other three are not the first batch of old people." ”

The first batch of guards recruited by Qian Yuan were all the children of the tenants of the Qian family, Zhang San was an example, and some of the children of the tenants were recruited later, but the other three people who stayed in Huangyan were not from Huating, and Qian Yuan specially selected.

After all, he has done a lot of dirty work with himself, and Qian Yuan still has a high degree of trust in Zhang San, in fact, Zhang San can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Yi, Yang Wen or even Zhou Ze in terms of ability, but he is still one of the leaders of the Qian family's guards, mainly because of Qian Yuan's trust.

"Six houses, open a secret door in the middle......" Qian Yuan snorted, stretched out his hand to take the box handed by Zhang San, "Let's go." ”

Pushing the door in, Qian Yuan saw a back, a burly figure, dressed in short clothes, pouring himself a drink, and a few plates of side dishes on the table didn't seem to have moved.

The moment he saw his back, the mystery that had been in Qian Yuan's mind for more than half a year was finally revealed, in fact, he already knew the answer to this question.

Why did my mother say that she would enter Beijing several times since last year but temporarily regretted it, why did my mother let Wang Yi take someone to escort the dowry into Beijing, and moved to Huangyan County silently, why did my sister-in-law Huang inexplicably have more children to ruin the door, and my mother and little sister were willing.

Qian Yuan thought about many possibilities, until after arriving in Huangyan County, the little sister called "second brother".

After the death of her father and brother, the younger sister has always been called Brother Qian Yuan......

"There are three days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this is the mooncake I made myself." Qian Yuan put the box on the table, slowly walked to the front, and looked at his eldest brother Qian Hong, who he hadn't seen for four years.

I have changed a lot, and my complexion is much darker than before; The expression is gloomy, and there is no longer the cheerful appearance of before; Holding chopsticks in one hand and grabbing a cup in the other, there was no previous Sven, and a rough air came to his face.

"Qian ......" Qian Hong seemed to be a little embarrassed about how to call it, "I heard that the handmade moon cakes are quite famous in Huating. ”

"Doesn't my brother always call me little brother?" Qian Yuan took a wine glass with an indifferent expression, poured a glass of wine, and said with a drink: "Actually, I'm not surprised at all. ”

"Little brother." Qian Hong nodded dejectedly, "Otherwise, you won't let Zhang San stay and squat...... This guy is not a thing, rush up, otherwise it will not be my opponent! ”

"Zhang San was born in the industry, and his skills are not weak."

"That's fist and foot kung fu, if you hold a knife and a gun......" Qian Hong snorted disdainfully, "The Qian family's guards are famous in the southeast, but they also win by their formation." ”

Qian Yuan immediately made the first judgment, it seems that Qian Hong has lived a life of licking blood with a knife in the past few years.

"Calculate the time, it was probably June and July last year, and my sister-in-law was in the food garden at that time." Qian Yuan picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of dried tofu, "Zhang San doesn't know how to do things, and he doesn't order meat." ”

"The dinner was hearty." Qian Hong was actually quite familiar with Zhang San, "I was in Lingyin Temple at that time. ”

"That's it, at that time, the sister of the Wang family was pregnant, and she often went to Lingyin Temple to add incense and lamp oil." Qian Yuan recalled: "It should be October or November that I found out that I have a body, so my mother decided not to enter Beijing, and gave birth from March to April this year, so I got married, and my mother did not enter Beijing, but moved here, because I want you to meet Baliang." ”

This analysis was reasonable and incisive, so that Qian Hong had nothing to say, his face was blank, and he looked up at the younger brother who only knew how to immerse himself in the sage books in his impression.

"Eight taels long white and chubby, very beautiful, he will definitely be a handsome guy in the future." Qian Yuan took a sip of wine, "Presumably my brother has heard the name Qian Zhancai in the past few years." ”

"Of course, the reincarnation of the broomstick star is known to everyone at sea." The corners of Qian Hong's mouth pulled a smile, "They all say that you are a Japanese nemesis." ”

The change four years ago, the appearance four years later, Qian Hong's whereabouts in the past few years are too obvious, he doesn't think he can hide his famous brother.

"Don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother is now a little accomplished." Qian Yuan lowered his voice and said: "The members of the southeast all have a relationship with the younger brother, not to mention the uncle, Jinhua Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, and Taiping Mansion all have a relationship, even if it is Jiangxi, Huguang and even Shanxi, Shaanxi ......."

"Four years ago, my sister-in-law was seriously ill and lasted for a long time, but she refused to remarry, and now she finally met again, Baliang is the only son of my brother and sister-in-law, don't you want to live a good life?"

Qian Yuan said leisurely: "My brother has passed away for four years, even if he keeps filial piety for his parents, it is only twenty-seven months, and my sister-in-law should remarry, take eight taels, and marry to Shanxi and Jiangxi, who can know?" ”

"The younger brother has also accumulated money over the years, and he must ensure that the elder brother's family has no worries about food and clothing, and does not worry about money."

The meaning of Qian Yuan's words is obvious, even if you Qian Hong becomes a widow, take your wife and son straight to Jiangxi, Shanxi and other places to settle down, I will help you settle down, handle it properly, and you can live a good life with your wife and children in the future.

Qian Hong's expression struggled, he tried to open and close his mouth several times, raised his wine glass and drank it all, lowered his head and said nothing.

"This is also to relieve my mother's worries." Qian Yuan persuaded: "My brother is in danger of dying, but such a good thing is going to be hidden from me...... Why? ”

"My sister-in-law hid her pregnancy from me, and she gave birth to eight taels and hid it from me...... Say what an adopted orphan! ”

"It's nothing more than because my brother is fighting at sea, and I, Qian Zhan, have become famous all over the world because of my defeat several times, and everyone knows that I am a sworn enemy with the Japanese Kou......"

"Mother is afraid that I will kill my relatives in righteousness? Or are you afraid that I will take my brother to invite merit and receive a reward? ”

"Not really, right?"

"What!" Qian Hong scolded in annoyance, obviously his pirate career in the past few years has had a great impact on him, "The younger brother has been promoted, and he has been promoted to the Jinshi, and he has also entered the Hanlin Academy, and he has a great future. ”

"Thank you, brother." Qian Yuan didn't stop asking: "Then why didn't my brother refuse to leave with my sister-in-law and eight taels, could it be that I was reluctant to let my mother go to Jiangxi, and my mother reunited with my brother in the name of visiting her parents' home." ”

"You don't have to change your surname, the surname Qian is everywhere in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is not a rare surname, so it will not attract attention!"

Qian Hong sighed, fell silent again, and drank two glasses of wine before speaking, "When will you let me go, it's been three days, and you can't wait any longer." ”

"Where?"

There was still a silence in response to Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan sighed, "God is pitiful, it turns out that my father is really still here!" ”

Qian Hong, who was on the other side, looked panicked, and now remembered that his brothers were reunited, but the younger brother never asked how he narrowly escaped from death back then, nor did he ask about his father's life and death.
