Chapter 118 The brave are fearless
The cups are staggered, the house is full of laughter and laughter, and you feel at home.
"The county received a report from his subordinates that Jiang Anyi, the deputy envoy of the Qing War, lived in the post house, and it is estimated that he will come to see the old man tomorrow." Lu Zhixian's voice came out unhurriedly, and he couldn't detect the slightest panic.
"What, Jiang Anyi is here." The wine glass in Ren Guoqiang's hand fell on the table with shock, and his sleeves swept the chopsticks on the table to the ground.
Huang Xinqing glanced at Ren Guoqiang with annoyance, he had had enough of this greedy, stupid, and lustful cheap son-in-law these days, and he really didn't know which examiner was blind enough to take such a fool.
Fools also have the use of fools, Huang Xinqing quietly motioned to the servant maid to put on a new cup, and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, you and Jiang Anyi are both deputy envoys of the Qing War, how can you be so afraid of him." β
"Alas, my father-in-law doesn't know. Although this son is the deputy envoy of the Qing War like me, he is the champion and the first, and he has the name of the word immortal, and his reputation is far above that of the son-in-law. What's more, the Qing War made Lord Yu his mentor, don't look at this son who is not yet weak, he has all the means and scheming, and he cleared thousands of hectares of fields in Linyang County. β
Ren Guoqiang sighed and said: "Lord Yu sent him to Xingguo County, obviously to help Liu Yushan, the son-in-law wants to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help my father-in-law." Early tomorrow morning, the son-in-law will move back to the post house to live, Ling'er will rely on her father-in-law to take care of her first, and when things settle down, I will pick her up again. β
Huang Xinqing's nose was almost crooked by Ren Guoqiang, he had never seen such a shameless person, he wanted to leave after wiping his mouth after eating, and he said that the bitch was ruthless, and this kid was worse than a bitch. Still avoiding suspicion, I'm sorry, jumping into the dung pit and leaving with a fragrance.
However, Huang Xinqing didn't care, Ren Guoqiang had countless handles in his hands, and it was a dream to escape. Thinking of this, Huang Xinqing smiled and said: "It's okay if the virtuous son-in-law moves back to live in the post house, I will take care of you if you put your mind to it." You might as well walk around with Jiang Anyi more, remember to tell me in time if there is any trouble, and it will not be in vain for our son-in-law. β
The smile on the face of Huang Yuanwai, who is as kind as a Buddha on weekdays, became hideous, and his two eyes showed a fierce light, Ren Guoqiang's heart was furious, and he nodded again and again, the bait was fragrant, but it hurt when he pulled the hook.
Jiang Jian ignored the intrigue at the banquet, Gu Zi drank wine and ate meat in large chunks. When his stomach was full, Jiang Jian put down his chopsticks and said, "Huang Yuanwai, you have already read the letter of the head of the family, how have you considered what you said in the letter?" β
Huang Xinqing hesitated for a moment and said: "It is naturally extremely safe to hand over the secret deed to the Li family for safekeeping, but whether Li Weng has given a token, I will take the secret deed back with the token in the future." β
The secret deed of more than 500 acres of land is not a small number, although Huang Xinqing's eldest daughter-in-law is Li Chengwei's daughter-in-law, but people are not as good as money relatives, once the Li family moves the evil heart, these lands are hidden worries.
"Let Young Master Huang bring the letter and this jade tiger when the time comes." Jiang Jian took out the sandalwood box from his arms and handed it to Huang Xinqing. At the bottom of the green silk cloth in the box, there is a jade tiger, three inches long, white as fat, and a faint topaz skin spot on the forehead, which makes the jade tiger lifelike.
Huang Xinqing saw this thing on Li Chengshi's desk, and it was an heirloom of the Li family. Picked up the jade tiger and carefully rubbed it in his hand, moisturizing, warm, it was the best Suzhou Montaigne seed jade, which should be exactly what he saw.
Relieved, Huang Xinqing put the jade tiger back in the box, handed it to the fourth son Huang Canhui standing behind him, and untied a copper key from the keychain on his waist, and said: "Take it to your mother, let her open the iron cabinet next to the bed, the top one, put the jade tiger in it, and then bring me the mahogany box inside." β
Huang Canhui said respectfully.
Jiang Anyi's heart moved, the iron cabinet at the head of the bed was definitely a place to put important things, and the old lady's baby was placed in the box under the bed.
Huang Canhui walked out, pointed to the housekeeper standing under the corridor and said, "You two come with me." β
Jiang Anyi hurriedly stood behind Huang Canhui and walked towards the back house, and a few people under the corridor did not notice anything abnormal at all.
Through the corridor and through the door, he walked through half a pillar of incense, and came to a beautiful hanging flower door, Huang Canhui instructed without looking back: "You two are waiting for me in front of the door." β
Jiang Anyi looked around at the environment, ready to be optimistic about the way out. The man beside him said: "Brother, how do you look at the face, which courtyard is from?" β
"The front yard." Jiang Anyi replied vaguely, not daring to let the man ask carefully, and preemptively said: "I just came here, I don't know the rules very well, if the eldest brother is free tomorrow, I will invite the eldest brother to have a meal, and ask the eldest brother to teach me the rules in the house." β
Hearing that there was a free meal, the man immediately forgot to interrogate Jiang Anyi, and eagerly told Jiang Anyi the rules that should be paid attention to. Jiang Anyi listened with a smile and nodded from time to time, but his mind was paying attention to the movements in the courtyard.
The effort was not big, Huang Canhui appeared with a mahogany box that was a foot square, and Jiang Anyi immediately reached out to pick it up. The wooden box had some weight, Huang Canhui didn't think much about it, just said, "Be careful, don't fall", and walked in front with his head held high.
Jiang Anyi took off the clothes on his body, wrapped the wooden box in the middle, and stumbled and carried it on his shoulder. Huang Canhui walked forward proudly, and the family gathered around to please the young master, and no one paid attention to Jiang Anyi at all. Jiang Anyi laughed secretly, this robbery is too untechnical.
In a comfortable mood, Jiang Anyi stood up stubbornly, and deliberately joked in a deep voice: "Two, Qi is urgent, go first." β
In the horrified eyes of Huang Canhui and the family, Jiang Anyi flew on the porch pole, pressed the porch pillar with both hands, floated out, jumped three times, and disappeared into the darkness.
Huang Canhui was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he screamed: "Someone, there is a thief." β
The family next to him also came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Catch the thief, the thief has stolen something, come quickly." β
Huang Canhui ran to the front yard with a rolling belt, and the people drinking in the house had already been alarmed, and they all walked out.
Seeing his son who ran over in a panic, Huang Xinqing immediately knew that something was wrong, and asked, "What was robbed, Yuhu?" "Huang Xinqing was lucky, if he just snatched the Jade Tiger, it would be easy to do it, and he would pay some silver taels.
"Boxes, it's boxes."
Huang Canhui's words broke Huang Xinqing's illusions, his legs went weak, and Huang Xinqing collapsed downward. Jiang Jian, who was beside him, grabbed him and asked Huang Canhui, "Do you see who it is?" Where did you go? β
"Wearing the clothes of the housekeepers, he is not very old, and he ran to the west."
Going to the upper room, Jiang Jian chased westward. Chasing out several miles in one breath, and then there was the city wall, Jiang Jian stood on the top of a tall building, and looked around, but there was no human figure under the dark sky.
Jiang Jian was very annoyed, last time he let the thieves escape in the village, and this time he made a mistake when he came to Xingguo to do an errand, how could he have the face to go back to pay the errand. Jiang Jian is a high-minded and arrogant person, and the repeated blows aroused the ferocity in his heart, and the chill of Bing Sen spread, and the world was cold.
Long Wei, Jiang Jian remembered the three people he met during the day, could the person who came be a good hand in Long Wei, and the master proposed last time that the person who visited Li Zhuang at night was very likely to be a person from Long Weizhong.
Jiang Jian is also afraid of Longwei, and if he is targeted by this monster, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die. Jiang Jian stood on the roof of the building and pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, smeared a hand of ash on the tiles and applied it to his face, then tore off the placket and covered his face. After identifying the direction, Jiang Jian came towards the county office.
Jiang Anyi had successfully returned to the post house, did not dare to go to the main entrance, and floated into the house through the back window. Undress yourself and take the box out of it.
The mahogany box, shining under the light, is locked on the box, which is difficult for Jiang Anyi, holding both ends of the lock with both hands, luck pulled out, and the lock opened. There were secret deeds neatly stacked inside, Jiang Anyi looked through them casually, and estimated that there were at least more than 100 copies in this box, not to mention three or four hundred hectares of land.
Okay, Jiang Anyi smiled, he didn't expect to come to Xingguo County to solve the problem easily. With these secret deeds, coupled with the identity of the Xiang brother Long Wei, tomorrow in the public court, Huang Xinqing, Ren Guoqiang, and Lu Xianling will not be able to escape.
"Who?" Xiang Jingjian's question came from outside the house, Jiang Anyi was startled, covered the box and stuffed it under the quilt.
On the roof, Jiang Jian was secretly annoyed, and he wanted to check it secretly, but he didn't expect to step on a broken tile, and the broken tile slipped from the roof and fell to the ground, alarming the Xiang brothers.
"Someone, there's a thief on the roof." Xiang Jingshi shouted, alarming the officials, and soon torches were lit around the post house.
Jiang Jian didn't take these people to heart, he could escape at any time, including the two people who fought during the day, and he couldn't surround him. Standing on the roof, Jiang Jian looked at which rooms had lights, and the three rooms on the east side were all lit.
The two brothers came out of the third room, and the remaining one was the residence of the young scholar they saw during the day, which should be Jiang Anyi as mentioned by Lu Xianling.
Jiang Jian's murderous intent stood up, except for Jiang Anyi's ability to muddy the water, and by the way, he could also take away the wooden plaque of Mingpu Temple, as for what would happen to Huang Xinqing, Lu County Ling and others, it was not a matter for him to consider.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Jian quickly moved to the roof of the second room in the east head, and with a hard blow, the roof collapsed, and the tiles fell down "in a hurry", revealing a large hole two feet wide.
Jiang Jian sneered and floated into the room through the hole.
In the house, Jiang Anyi was about to go out to see what was going on, when he suddenly heard a breaking sound overhead, Jiang Anyi jumped on the bed alertly and pulled down the curtain.
The lamp on the table was smashed, and the room was in shambles, and a dark shadow fell from above and stepped on the table.
The empty room was white, Jiang Anyi saw that the person who came covered his face, his face was smeared with black ash, and he smiled secretly in his heart, it turned out that everyone was in this way, and it was Jiang Jian who looked at the figure.
Jiang Jian quickly looked inside the house, although there was no light, he could roughly see the situation in the house.
There was no one, the bed curtain was hanging, Jiang Jian smiled secretly, Jiang Anyi was really naΓ―ve, hiding in the tent thinking that he couldn't find it, just catching turtles in the urn.
The door was chained, and the Xiang brothers banged the door outside the house, and they were about to break in.
Jiang Jian didn't dare to delay, he jumped up, his hands were full of true qi, and he struck the bed with all his strength with the cold wind, and this time he was bound to beat the surnamed Jiang into a pulp.
