Something always happens unexpectedly, and this is the second time someone has tried to take the charcoal. There are always some people in this world who rob others of their things, and in their hearts, there is no word law and discipline at all, perhaps these two words only exist for people who are stronger than them.

Jiang Anyi frowned, and he had nothing to do for a while. Si Chen carried Jiang Anyi on his back, gently pulled La Xinfei's sleeve, and spoke with his eyes: "Girl, are we going to help Jiang Gongzi." ”

Xin Fei shook her head slightly, although she has a good impression of Jiang Anyi, it does not mean that she identifies Jiang Anyi, there are many princes and grandsons, literati, and heroes who appear around her, and it is a matter of her life, of course Xin Fei has to choose. Xin Fei is trying to take advantage of this incident to further see how well Jiang Anyi is able to deal with situations. Another point, everyone in the world knows that Long Wei is powerful, but they don't know that there are turbulent dark waves. Long Wei had been wronged several times against the ministers under the emperor's instructions, and afterwards the emperor punished and suppressed Long Wei in order to appease the ministers, but the fear of Long Wei was deeply rooted in the hearts of the hundred officials, and they would not let go easily when they found an opportunity, so it was taboo for Long Wei to meddle in matters for no reason.

Fan Shi's book is business-like, and he didn't think about it so much at all, so he suggested going directly to the door to theorize and ask for the horses.

The group first descended the mountain to the village, which is a small village of about 100 families. The four generations of the Shi family are in the same house, with an old grandfather and a little nephew, and more than 20 people in a family live in seven or eight thatched huts, which has a fight with the Jiang family two years ago.

When they heard that the stone had lost the guest's horse, the whole family was stunned, and a horse cost forty or fifty taels of silver, and they could not afford to lose the horse if they sold all their possessions. The father of the stone, a peasant who was nearly forty years old, picked up the bamboo broom in the corner of the wall and drew it towards the stone.

Jiang Anyi hurriedly stopped him and said, "This uncle, it's not about the stone, don't beat him." I'm here to say it, because he knows the man who grabbed the horse, and I want to take him to the county to make a point. ”

Seeing that the guests did not mean to pursue it, the stone family breathed a sigh of relief, and the grandfather of the stone beckoned Jiang Anyi and others to sit in the house, and instructed the family to catch chickens and pick vegetables to greet the guests to eat.

Jiang Anyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not early, don't be tired, I'm going back to the county seat and let the stone follow me, you can rest assured, you will never wronged him, and when this matter is over, I will personally send him back." ”

Seeing that Xinfei and other women were gorgeously dressed and embroidered with intricate floral ornaments, the Shi family could smell an attractive fragrance from afar. Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben dressed up and rode horses, they should be rich people, asked the names and whereabouts of the two of them, nodded and agreed.

The stone lady pulled the stone to a corner, told her carefully, and kept wiping her tears, making it a bit like parting with life and death. Seeing that the stone family was in difficulty, Jiang Anyi took out a few taels of broken silver and handed it to the stone family, saying: "This bit of broken silver is considered a commission for the stone, if it is delayed for a long time, I will give another thanks." ”

Although poor, the Shi family said that they would not accept the silver taels, and Grandpa Shi said with a stiff face: "Thank you Gongzi, although our family is poor, it is reasonable, and there is no reason to accept Gongzi's money." Stone Niang, don't cry, let Shi go with Jiang Gongzi, don't let the guests laugh. ”

Xin Fei and the others had a carriage, Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben rode in pairs, followed behind the carriage, and headed towards Linyang City.

The interior of Xinfei's carriage was beautifully decorated and the space was large enough that the six people sitting in it were not crowded at all. The stone squatted in the corner of the car, so embarrassed that there was nowhere to put his hands and legs, for fear of accidentally damaging the objects in the car.

Si Feng took pity on the stone the most, took out the biscuit and preserved fruit from the dark grid, put it on a plate, squatted next to the stone, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of the stone, don't squat there, sit next to it and eat, my sister was like you when she was a child, and her family was also very poor." Jiang Gongzi is a good person, whether he finds a horse or not, he will not be difficult for you, don't worry, hurry up. ”

Siyu and Sichen are not a few years older than the stone, and they are very cute to see the stone's tiger head, so they came over one after another and took out some small objects to tease the stone. The child couldn't hide his thoughts, and when the car stopped in front of the old store in Yuepeng, the stone had already regained its liveliness, and he jumped down from the car first, stood next to the car curtain and looked around with a pair of big eyes.

Yuepeng old store is a century-old store, the façade looks old, there is something unique inside: all the way to the spring flowers are splendid, the courtyard is covered with bamboo, the white walls, green tiles and black columns, clean up the dust, through the refreshing and clean. Jiang Anyi wrapped two adjacent small courtyards, the apricot blossoms in the small courtyard are in full bloom, and the pink and white flowers on the trees are swaggering and laughing, and the fragrance is striking people.

"It's beautiful." Si Feng saw the apricot blossom and muttered to himself.

As soon as the stone heard this, he threw off his straw sandals and was about to go up the tree, and said while climbing: "Sister, I'll help you pick flowers." ”

Sifeng's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly grabbed him behind him, and said: "Stone, don't be naughty, it's not fun to fall down, flowers only look good when they bloom on trees, and you won't live long if you pick them down." ”

The stone seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he didn't climb again after listening to the persuasion, Si Feng took him into the room, and after a while, he heard Si Feng's shouting voice, it seems that the stone is really skinny, Jiang Anyi and Xin Fei looked at each other and smiled.

Facing a beautiful woman is like watching a beautiful scenery, which is always pleasing to the eye. After Xin Fei untied the veil, even a square person like Fan Shiben inevitably took a few more looks. Xin Fei's cheeks were flushed, and she disguised: "Tired today, rest early, and tomorrow the slave family and Jiang Gongzi will go to Yiyongbo's Mansion to see what is going on." ”

Jiang Anyi and the others got up, called for stones, and rested in the courtyard next to them.

One night of spring rain, the apricot blossoms full of trees are washed red and white, gorgeous like fragrant snow. Fan Shiben sighed: "At this time, if you are in the apricot blossom view, you can see the mountains and apricots blooming, and you can really call it 'apricot blossom fragrant snow'." ”

"Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alley", in this situation, a famous poem blurted out from Jiang Anyi's mouth.

"Good, good poetry." Outside the courtyard gate, Xin Fei walked in with four girls, just hearing this famous sentence through the ages, how could the eyes of Jiang Anyi not burst with a spark of admiration, and even the four people behind him were a little intoxicated.

The stone shouted "Sister Sifeng" and ran forward to meet him. Siyu asked: "Jiang Gongzi, have you eaten, let's leave after eating, and go to the street by the way." ”

It was painful to go shopping with a woman, and I didn't leave until noon, and I came to the front of Uncle Yiyong's mansion at noon. The smiles on Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben's faces were replaced by wry smiles, only Shi Shi was holding a large amount of food in his hands, and his face was flushed with happiness.

The vermilion gate of Yiyongbo's mansion, the top is a golden silk nanmu plaque, and the four golden characters are "Yiyongbo's house". On both sides of the steps, there are upper and lower horse stones, stakes for tying horses, two black lacquered benches on the left and right of the gate, and four people dressed as family members are sitting idly and making noise.

Seeing Jiang Anyi and the others ascending the steps, a fat man stood up on the left, crossed his waist and shouted: "Stop, who are you?" How dare you swagger into Bofu? ”

Jiang Anyi stood still, clenched his fists and arched his hand: "My surname is Jiang, I came to ask to see my uncle, and there was a message from the labor housekeeper." ”

"Hehe, the surname Jiang is amazing." Fat Menzi sneered: "How can Uncle meet you, Uncle is in Kejiao City, you go to Lingzhou to find it, go quickly, go quickly." ”

Jiang Anyi listened to the stone description of the person who grabbed the horse was not very old, Yi Yongbo took his eldest son to guard the town of Kejiao in Lingzhou, and the person who grabbed the horse was likely to be his second son Yang Huaizhong. Jiang Anyi kept smiling and said, "Then Lao will pass the word to the second son, and the horse owner of Xinghualing will come to see him." ”

Fat Menzi's eyes rolled, he heard that the second young master snatched a horse yesterday, he didn't like it, and the family members who followed him were rewarded, and he regretted why he didn't go to enjoy the flowers with the second son, otherwise the reward money of the two taels of silver would not be able to run. Now that the owner has come to the door, he must not let him see the second son, this matter has been done by himself, and the second young master must not reward twenty or thirty taels, maybe the second young master will be happy and can reward himself as a daughter-in-law.

The fat man swallowed his saliva, and said with a straight face: "Hurry up, hurry up, the second son won't see you idlers, what is the owner, I don't have anything in Uncle Yiyong's Mansion, I still have to take your things, go quickly, I don't know what to do, I'm going to call the official, let you eat in prison for a few days." ”

Fan Shiben was so angry that he scolded: "How can this really be the case, robbing property, where is the reason of heaven?" The other three sitting on the bench also staggered to their feet, holding their arms in front of them, and raised their eyebrows one by one, with the intention of fighting if they disagreed.

Jiang Anyi pulled Fan Shiben back and went down the steps, and the four men laughed proudly. Xin Fei and the others stood at the bottom of the stairs to watch, and when they saw Jiang Anyi coming down the steps, Si Chen snorted angrily: "It's really a coward." ”

Xin Fei is also very strange, she caught Guo Jingshan that day, she saw Jiang Anyi make a move, these few men tied together are not his opponents, it is because he is afraid of the power of Uncle Yiyong, if he is really afraid of the powerful, it is not worth entrusting him for life.

Teacher Fan said angrily: "Anyi, why are you so afraid of things, Master Ziyun 'the brave are not afraid', my generation of scholars has justice in their hearts, how can they be afraid of these small people." ”

Jiang Anyi didn't explain, and left Uncle Yiyong's mansion with everyone, explaining: "When I was shopping just now, I asked people about it, Uncle Yiyong's family has a good reputation in Linyang County, and Uncle Yang's family education is very strict. Uncle Yang and his two sons are guarding Kejiao Town, this is because Yang's mother is sick, Yang Huaizhong went home to serve his relatives, but he didn't expect to rob my horse. If I make a fuss in front of the mansion, it will be bad for the reputation of the Yang Mansion, and since I can't see Yang Huaizhong, then I will find another way. ”

Obviously, Jiang Anyi worked hard and led everyone through the streets and alleys to West Street. Jiang Anyi pointed to the lively street and said: "This West Street is almost the property of Bofu, let's start from here and lead Yang Huaizhong to show up." ”

Not far ahead, to the façade of the street, the black wood diamond-shaped signboard, three big characters "Jinyufang", four biao-shaped men in front of the door, with a smile on their faces to greet the guests, is a gambling house. Da Zheng can't help betting, Jinyufang is the property of Bofu, backed by the power of Bofu, and the gambling house is fair, so the business is booming, and even gamblers from all over the world come to spend a lot of money.

Liu San has been welcoming guests for many years, and with a sweep of his eyes, he can roughly judge how many silver taels he is carrying in his waist and lead him to the corresponding place. As soon as Jiang Anyi, Xin Fei and the others stepped forward, Liu San knew that the "fat sheep" had come to the door, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Little Liu San, I have given a gift to my son and a few young ladies." Xiaobi, take Childe and Miss to Yuebin Hall. ”
