Seeing Jiang Anyi staring at the rice bag on his shoulder, the man handed the rice bag to Hong Laohan, shook his arms in front of Jiang Anyi, and said in a muffled voice: "Boy, what are you looking at?" Leave early, don't stay at my house. ”

Aunt Hong patted her son lightly and said, "Chun'er, don't be rude, this Jiang Gongzi is a good person, and his mother's illness is still the doctor he paid for." ”

The man's face softened a little, and said, "Leave early tomorrow morning, there is no spare place in our house." Also, don't talk nonsense when you get home. ”

Jiang Anyi's face was calm and resolute, and he sighed: "Hong Chun, I'm afraid that a catastrophe is coming." ”

The Hong family's old and young glared at Jiang Anyi angrily, and even the kind-tempered Aunt Hong was angry, and scolded: "You are so rude, my family saved your life, why do you want to curse my son, get out of with me, my family doesn't dare to keep your broom star." ”

Panic flashed in the big man's eyes, and when he saw a fishing fork under the eaves, he stepped forward to pick it up, pointed the tip of the fork at Jiang Anyi, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Hong Laohan put the rice bag away, walked out, and saw his son facing Jiang Anyi with a fishing fork, and hurriedly shouted: "Chun'er, put it down, this is not a joke, if you are not careful, you will die." ”

The fishing fork has three points side by side, the tip of the fork is about a foot long, it is made to be extremely sharp, and there is a barb at the tip, more than ten catties of fish can be penetrated by a fork, and it is estimated that it can be penetrated at once.

Jiang Anyi sighed and said, "Uncle, my son is afraid that he has become a water bandit, and this bag of rice is the official food of the government for disaster relief." ”

The words were like a thunderbolt, which made the Hong family panic. Hong Laohan hurriedly asked his son: "Chun'er, is it true?" ”

"Dad, don't ask, you must not let this person leave tonight, otherwise the lives of our family will be over." Hong Chun's eyes flashed with anger, and the fishing fork in his hand was ready to go.

No need to ask, his son is a water thief, and in an instant, Hong Laohan made a choice, reached out to manipulate the two fishing forks next to him, handed one to Nier, and said astringently: "Nier, don't let him run away." ”

Three fishing forks, clearly forming a semicircle, put Jiang Anyi against the corner of the house.

After three days of getting along, Nier, who was in the prime of her life, had a good impression of Jiang Anyi, knowing that the two were not from the same world, and Nier hid this good feeling in her heart, but secretly sweetened it in her dreams at night. At this moment, seeing Jiang Anyi being pointed at by the fishing fork, seeing that his life was about to be guaranteed, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Brother, let's force him to agree not to talk nonsense, it may not hurt his life." ”

"Silly woman", Hong Laohan smiled bitterly: "Robbing the official food for disaster relief is a big crime to destroy the family, since he sees it, our family can't put the lives of the whole family in his hands." ”

Nier's face was pale, the fishing fork in her hand couldn't stop trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, and a crystal tear appeared on her long eyelashes.

"Uncle, Hong Chun, you listen to me first, maybe I can save the lives of your whole family." With three fishing forks on his chest, Jiang Anyi is still calm, and it is really easy to deal with the three people in front of him with his skills.

Uncle Hong hesitated, and after three days of getting along, he could see that Jiang Anyi was not a bad person, and Nier hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, brother, let's listen to what he said first?" ”

Taking out the gold medal from his arms, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "I saw this gold medal when my husband rescued me, this is handed over to me by the disaster relief envoy, and I asked me to investigate the case of the disappearance of the disaster relief grain ship." ”

"It turns out that you are an official." Jiang Anyi's words caused the fishing fork to move forward by three points, and even Nier's eyes widened, full of anger.

It seems that the government is powerful and blessed on weekdays, and the common people hate the officials to the core, which affects Jiang Anyi.

"Wait, listen to me." Jiang Anyi hurriedly said, "I am from the capital and came to provide disaster relief on the order of the Son of Heaven. Halfway through the journey, I heard that the food for disaster relief had disappeared, so Master Duan ordered me to investigate first. Unexpectedly, I met the enemy on a boat, and accidentally fell into the river, only to be rescued by my father-in-law. ”

"I recognized that the grain bag carried by Hong Chun was the grain bag used for disaster relief, and it would not take long for the government to track it down, and robbing the official grain for disaster relief was a big crime of being beheaded all over the house."

Jiang Anyi's words fell on the hearts of the Hong family like a hammer, and Hong Laohan's fork could no longer be held, and fell to the ground with a "dang long". Aunt Hong was even more paralyzed, begging for mercy: "There are a lot of officials, save the lives of the family." ”

"Mother, don't listen to the nonsense of the officials, he just wants to get out and bring the officers and soldiers here, kill him and our family will flee to the water village, anyway, it's all death, it's better to fight." Hong Chun was furious and stabbed the fishing fork towards Jiang Anyi.

With a violent stab, it was like a fork on an iron plate, and Hong Chun's fishing fork rod was grabbed by Jiang Anyi with his hand. Hong Chun was not convinced, he was fishing on the river, and the fish had a lot of strength in the water, but Hong Chun could easily pull up the big fish with more catties, and tried to earn it, but the fishing fork did not move.

Seeing that her brother was frustrated, Nier gritted her teeth, and the fishing fork in her hand was forked according to Jiang Anyi's thigh, Jiang Anyi was startled, if this position was forked, it was expected to enter the palace.

With a flick of his hand, Hong Chun felt a strong wind blowing, couldn't stand on his feet, took a few steps back, and finally sat on the ground. The fishing fork that Nier stabbed was grabbed by Jiang Anyi with his hand, and in the shocked eyes of the Hong family, the steel tip of the fishing fork was crumpled by Jiang Anyi.

The old and young of the Hong family were stupid, how hard the fishing fork was, it was like soft mud in Jiang Anyi's hands. It is said that the Son of Heaven has a dragon guard in his hands, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they don't blink when they kill people.

Jiang Anyi stepped forward to help the frightened Aunt Hong, and said to the stunned Hong family: "Don't be afraid, you have a life-saving grace for Jiang, and Jiang will keep you safe even if he risks his life." It's not easy to talk here, so let's go into the room and talk about it. ”

After seeing Jiang Anyi's skills, the Hong family no longer had the idea of killing people, and entered the house tremblingly. Under the dim oil lamp, everyone's faces were covered with gloom, and Mr. Hong's family was even more anxious and anxious waiting for the unknown fate.

"If the disaster relief food is missing, the court will definitely ask about it. There are only two situations in which a grain ship has disappeared, one is sunk and the other is hijacked. And it is impossible for twenty grain ships to sink at the same time, even if so many people on board are sunk at the same time, it is impossible for none of them to be missing, even if they are all drowned, there will be corpses downstream, so a discerning person can know that the grain ship has been robbed at a glance. Jiang Anyi succinctly laid out the facts.

Hong Chun's head was sweating, and the leader in the water village said to them that if they acted in the middle of the night, they would not be discovered by the government, but the person in front of him casually picked out the truth as if he was hot-headed by Wang Mazi, and participated in the water bandits' food robbery, which brought death to his family.

"What's more, there are five hundred Zuowei guards on the grain ship, which are the guards of the Son of Heaven, many of them are from powerful families, and the court must have an explanation. Therefore, the bandits in the water village this time are destined to be in great trouble. Jiang Anyi accentuated his tone, "If there are eggs under the nest, the families of the water bandits will inevitably be investigated." Hong Chun, do you think the strength of the water bandits is enough to resist the army of the imperial court? ”

Hong Chun's sweat was rolling down, he couldn't sit still anymore, and knelt down in front of Jiang Anyi: "My lord, Hong Chun knows that he is guilty of death, please beg my lord to spare my family for the sake of my father saving your life, I am willing to surrender to you and fight a lawsuit." ”

Hearing his son admit that he had robbed the disaster relief grain, Hong Laohan's family was completely stupid, looking at Jiang Anyi blankly, and they didn't know how to plead.

Jiang Anyi helped Hong Chun up and said: "As I said just now, if you can keep you safe, as long as you tell me who robbed the official food, it will be regarded as a complaint to the government, not only not guilty but meritorious." ”

Hong Chun hesitated, Aunt Hong was anxious first, and scolded: "Dead baby, do you want the whole family to die in your hands?" ”

"The boat was robbed by three water villages." Hong Chun was forced to be helpless, and confessed: "I heard Wang Mazi say that the heroes of Shuizhai want to make a big deal, and there is a shortage of people to support the boat, and he said that as long as he goes to help give 100 catties of rice, he will also give 2 taels of silver." I was greedy for a moment, so I went with me on the night of August 20, and many ships went, only to find out that they were grain ships that had robbed the disaster. ”

The water bandits on the Heishui River robbed merchant ships, but there was no infringement on the fishermen who begged for a living on the river, and they only did not see it when they encountered it, and they would give silver if they wanted fish, so the fishermen had a good impression of the water bandits.

"How are the officers and men on board?" Jiang Anyi asked anxiously.

"The boat they forcibly recruited in Jishuidu was a cottage, and they drank water mixed with anesthetic at the mouth of the river, and they couldn't move, so they were taken to Qingshan Water Village with food. Oh, the village of Qingshan and water village mixed with Jianglong. The money and grain were immediately divided, and the mixed river dragon people were the most, and they got eight boats and 400,000 taels of silver, and the mixed water village and the black wind village each got six boats of grain and 300,000 taels of silver. This time, the leader of Mixed Water Village asked the brothers to go home to recruit people, and those who were willing to go were given another hundred meters. Hong Chun explained it clearly.

Jiang Anyi asked in detail about the specific locations of the three water villages, and Hong Chun couldn't say it clearly, only that there were large reeds dangling in the water village, and the waterways were crooked.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Jiang Anyi stood up and took two steps in the house, and suddenly asked Hong Chun: "Hong Chun, do you want to make meritorious service, if you can bring me into the water village, the first merit in breaking the bandits in the future will be yours." Jiang can pack a ticket, at least the official county lieutenant afterwards, if you are willing to be a soldier, a school captain of 500 people can do it. ”

Just now, I was worried that my life would not be guaranteed, but now the official actually promised to become a county lieutenant after making meritorious service. The county lieutenant is so majestic, Hong Chun has been to the county seat, and knows that in addition to the county magistrate and the county lord, they belong to the county lieutenant, and he is in charge of many people, and he is very majestic. But. Does the person in front of him count when he speaks, can't he be fooling himself?

Seeing Hong Chun's eyes fiery and suspicious, Jiang Anyi understood, and took out the gold medal on his body and handed it to Hong Chun. Hong Chun read it for a few days when he was young, and he still recognized the words "I am here in person" on the gold medal, and he was immediately startled, isn't this the same thing as the legendary Shang Fang sword, the adult in front of him is a great big man, and it should be easy to be promoted and make a fortune if he can follow him.

Respectfully handing the gold medal back to Jiang Anyi, Hong Chun said excitedly: "My lord, Hong Chun is willing to give it a try." ”
