Although the township test was on the ninth day of August, Jiang Anyi and Guo Huaili came to Wenping Mansion early on July 18, in Guo Huaili's words, come early to make a name for themselves.

still lives in the Liansheng Inn, and when they have money, the two of them chartered a small courtyard, closed the door, and the sound of "Zhihu" who came and went could not reach the ears, which was considered to be quiet in the middle of the noise.

Inside the house, Guo Huaili took off his shirtless, shook a big paper fan, and said to Jiang Anyi: "Xiao Jiang, if it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't be guilty of this crime, how comfortable it is to stay at home on this hot day." ”

Jiang Anyi really wanted to roll his eyes, it was obvious that you yourself were going to follow in vain, but you complained about me. However, Jiang Anyi knew that this godbrother was unforgiving, and he was really concerned about himself, knowing that he was participating in the test, and insisted that he was a lucky general, and with his support, he would definitely be in high school, and he would follow.

Guo Huaili said: "Xiao Jiang, I brought a box of white paper fans this time, you have good words, you have time to write 'people idle osmanthus falling' and 'boat self-horizontal' on the fan, by the way, and the song "Dian Jiang Lip" you did in Anyang Wangfu must be written, brother, I want to meet friends with poetry." First, I will make a name for you, and secondly, I will let people know that I Guo Shixian is Jiang Shixian's brother, and by the way, I will also help our bamboo fan to do publicity. ”

Speaking of the rise, Guo Huaili also pinched his voice and sang a few words "Shaoyin playing, two lines of red sleeves, and persuading Changsheng wine", singing Jiang Anyi's cold hair high.

Guo Huaili's idea was very effective, the news that Jiang Cixian came to the countryside to try soon came in Wenping Mansion, Anping Wangfu was amazing, the name of Cixian was widely spread, and moving the princess with the name of poetry and literature was a dream of scholars.

The people who went to visit were all blocked by Guo Huaili, and they wanted to eat, drink, and be accompanied by fat people, and they wanted to be accompanied by fat people in poetry and literature, and they wanted to be accompanied by fat people in Qinglou narration. There was really no way, Jiang Anyi quietly left the Liansheng Inn and found a home to study quietly from afar.

Zhang's house. Zhang Hongchong came back from outside, called Zhang Bojin to his room, and asked thoughtlessly, "Do you know Jiang Anyi?" ”

Zhang Bojin was stunned, how could his father know Jiang Anyi's name, and simply told Jiang Anyi's situation. Zhang Hongchong pondered for a long time with a calm face, and said: "Now Wenping Mansion is spreading the word that Xianjiang Anyi came to participate in the township test, and they are talking about his song in Anyang Palace's palace to impress the prince, and they all say that with his talent, he will be able to raise people in high school. This is to raise hope, and in comparison, not many people know about it. In this way, it will be difficult for you to take the middle and solve the yuan. ”

Zhang Bojin gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "This person is the nemesis of my life, and I will always be destroyed by someone in whatever I do." It's hateful, I didn't kill him that time in Canglan Ridge. ”

"What?" Zhang Hongchong was startled and looked at his son with wide eyes.

Zhang Bojin didn't dare to tell his father about this matter, but now he leaked his mouth and didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell him and Qin Haiming about the murder of Jiang Anyi.

"Slap", a loud slap slapped heavily on Zhang Bojin's face, and Zhang Bojin "pounced" and knelt down in front of his father. Zhang Hongchong trembled and pointed at Zhang Bojin, "Evil animal, you are so bold, you dare to murder people, you don't want to live." ”

"The child was dizzy for a while, and after listening to Qin Haiming's words, he did something he regretted."

Standing up, came to the door and looked around, and found that there was no one, Zhang Hongchong closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Beast, you didn't tell your father about such a thing, once the incident happened, there was nothing you could do for your father." ”

Zhang Hongchong paced back and forth in the room quickly, Zhang Bojin didn't dare to disturb his father's train of thought, and quietly moved to the corner of the wall, waiting for his father to speak.

After a long time, Zhang Hongchong stopped and said coldly: "I shouldn't have let Qin Haiming go if I knew that Qin Haiming, if he died, everything would be gone, and I blame you, a brute, for not telling me earlier." Zhang Bojin didn't dare to make a sound, since his father said that Qin Haiming was just a trivial matter, Qin Haiming never appeared again, and Zhang Bojin didn't dare to ask his father what tricks Qin Haiming used to make Qin Haiming dare not entangle again.

"Jiang Anyi must not stay, this kid is a scourge, once he knows about Canglan Mountain, it will be extremely unfavorable to you." Zhang Hongchong kicked Zhang Bojin with his leg and shouted: "Get out, you can read at home with peace of mind, the matter of Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi will be solved by my father." ”

Waiting for Zhang Bojin to leave, Zhang Hongchong sat at the table and pondered for a long time, got up and took out the IOU from the secret compartment on the bed, put it in his arms, and went out of the house.

It was already dark outside, and the lanterns of the shops lit up the streets, Zhang Hongchong hurriedly walked in the dark, and came to the door of a mansion with a pillar of incense. A moment later, he was welcomed into the house and seated in the house. The interior of the house is gorgeously decorated, and there are ice basins in the four corners, which is cool.

"Brother Zhang came to visit at night, I don't know what advice I have?" The master was richly dressed, his face was red, and his short, well-groomed beard shone dark and shiny in the candlelight. Yahuan offered chilled sour plum soup, and the white jade bowl was hung with crystal water droplets, which made people appetite.

Zhang Hongchong didn't rush to speak, he first took a sip of sour plum soup, which was sweet and sour in the mouth, and the heat disappeared. The master slowly and quietly stretched his beard, and the two maid rings beside him gently shook the pu fan, and the breeze came slowly, like a fairy among the gods. Zhang Hongchong gestured with his eyes, the master understood, waved his hand, and the servants standing in the house left quietly.

Zhang Hongchong took out a note from his arms, handed it to his master, and said, "Brother Jingshan, Zhang has something to ask for." ”

The master took the note, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Zhang's matter is not trivial, four thousand taels of silver, enough to buy several lives." ”

"Just two lives." The words were like a cold wind blowing in the darkness, and the room suddenly became a little colder.

The master's hand stroked his beard, and the white hand was lined with black whiskers like a woman. Immediately, his hand began to gently stroke his beard again, and the owner smiled: "Brother Zhang, you know that my family is not short of silver. ”

Zhang Hongchong's eyes darkened, and he said: "You and I have been for many years, even if I owe Brother Jingshan a favor this time." ”

The master chuckled and said, "The favor of the criminal department is worth two lives, Brother Zhang said to listen to it." ”

After a pillar of incense, Zhang Hongchong left the mansion, walked more than ten steps away, and came to the dark place to look back at the mansion, and the two red lanterns were like the eyes of a giant beast and chose to devour people. Zhang Hongchong shuddered, lowered his head and hurriedly left.

The master sat alone in the house, brushing his beard with one hand, and subconsciously drawing circles on the IOU with the other hand, and whispered to himself: "Who can make Zhang Hongchong spend four thousand taels of silver to buy his life?" Come. ”

With the shout, a man in black flashed outside the house, and said with his hands on his fists: "Master commands." ”

"Go and check Jiang Anyi and Qin Haiming, who are these two people, and what grievances do they have with Zhang Hongchong?"

An hour later, the man in black returned to the house, and the servants in the house consciously left to cover the door. The black-clothed man said: "Ye Guo, Qin Haiming is Qin Chuanyi's son, and Zhang Hongchong's son Zhang Bojin is a classmate. Jiang Anyi is a talent who participated in the township examination, and he studied at Zechang Academy with Zhang Bojin, and it is unknown what grievances the two have. However, this Jiang Anyi has a bit of a reputation, and the birthday banquet of Anyang Wangfu was rewarded by the prince with a song and lyrics. ”

"Oh, could it be the 'two lines of red sleeves, Qi persuasion of longevity wine'?"

"That's the man."

Guo Jingshan said with a smile: "Zhang Hongchong's favor can't help but sell, who let the master have a place for him, it's just a pity that this word immortal." ”

The black man joked: "Yesterday Guo Ye went to the Drunken Flower Building, Miss A Cai sang this word fairy's "Dian Jiang Lip", Guo Ye also said that she sang coquettishly and charmingly, but I don't know how she sang to Guo Ye in the room? ”

The two laughed obscenely.

After laughing, Guo Jingshan instructed: "Heizi, send two brothers to bring Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi to fruition, your hands and feet are neat, it's best not to let people find out, now the wind is tight, don't make trouble." ”

"Master Guo, don't worry, the brothers are all veterans, and it's not a one-time cut to deal with two chicken-like scholars, so you can rest assured." Kuroko said with a grin. The truth is not as simple as Heizi imagined, the two subordinates walked around Wenping Mansion for a day, but they didn't find Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi.

Qin Haiming was taught a lesson last time, and he knew that Zhang Bojin sent someone to deal with him, so he was afraid and angry, hiding in his house and secretly thinking of bad ideas, and he didn't dare to go out. And Jiang Anyi didn't live in Liansheng Inn at all, but the two saw Guo Huaili who came out and went in, but this fat man didn't look like Jiang Anyi who confessed to Hei Ye at all.

After scolding the two of them, Heizi thought for a while and said, "Send someone to watch in front of the Qin family, I don't believe that kid won't go out." As for Jiang Anyi, didn't the fat man say that he was Jiang Anyi's brother, kidnapped him, left a letter, and asked the surnamed Jiang to redeem him. ”

The unlucky Guo Fat Man returned to the inn drunk and satisfied, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the small courtyard, a bright steel knife was put on his neck, and a stinky rag was stuffed into his mouth, and then his eyes were dark, and he was put into a cloth bag and disappeared into the darkness from the back door.

The next morning, Xiao Er came to deliver the washing water, and saw a dagger stuck in the door, and the basin fell to the ground. Xiao Ergui cried wolf and went to find the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was shrewd, and hurriedly said to the people who gathered: "It's okay, it's okay, Guo Ye is sick, I'm going to ask the doctor to go, don't bother him." ”

Pulled Xiao Er to a secluded place, and asked, "What are you yelling about, let people know that the store has been robbed, do I still want to open this store?" ”

took down the note, the shopkeeper was well-informed, and at a glance, he knew that Guo Huaili had been kidnapped, and it seemed that he wanted silver. Guo Ye and Jiang Ye came together, Guo Ye said that they were two brothers, and now that Guo Ye has an accident, of course he has to find his brother.

Quietly instructed Xiao Er to go out to find someone, they all opened inns, and they were familiar with the way, and soon, Jiang Anyi came in a hurry.
