Chapter 4: Frost Fall (Part 4)

Early the next morning, Wang Xun went out with the waist card of the Flying Dragon Guard, and visited the noble children he had usually interacted with. What is very depressing is that except for a few people who risked being scolded by their parents and provided him with a bunch of messy gossip, most of the former "friends" are either "out of the house" or "sick in bed" at the moment, and no one wants to take the slightest risk for meddling in Yu Wenzhi's case.

It was already noon, and he knew that he might run in vain again today. Helplessly, he cursed a few swear words, and rode his horse in the direction of the pavilion where Zhang Xun lived. Just walked through Longzheng Fang, and the street in front of it was blocked by a large number of officials. He had no choice but to scold and jump off his mount and pull the reins of his horse to detour through the street behind Long Zhengfang. Kankan walked more than a dozen steps, but saw a few more disheveled women, crying and running from the direction of the Zhengfang.

"What's going on, it's a mess!" Wang Xun frowned when he saw it, and pulled a shopkeeper who looked like a shopkeeper and asked in a low voice.

The shopkeeper was stumbled by him, and his eyes were round and he was about to have a seizure. looked at the clothes on the other party's body, and immediately changed to a smiling face, "Son, haven't you heard, there is a big bustle over there in Longzhengfang." The house of the lord of Yong'an County was raided, and it is said that he was implicated in the case of Li Zuo for many years. Later, the second daughter of the Suizhou Assassin family had just made a marriage with the little marquis of the Yongan County Lord's family, and said that she would come over next month. At this moment, the man's family suffered a disaster, and the woman's family heard the news and wanted to withdraw from the marriage. But the daughter refused, and as soon as the family was not paying attention, she ran away, saying that she wanted to share happiness and misfortune with her fiancé. is in prison and accompanied by a daughter-in-law, where can I find such a good thing in the world? The official shouted at her, and she hit her head on the stone lion. Tsk, a little lady like a flower bone, tsk, it's a pity! ”

"Li Zuoxiang?" Wang Xun still has a little impression of this case that happened in the sixth year of Tianbao, "Isn't that the past four or five years?" Why is it not over yet! ”

"yes. Who knows? The shopkeeper-like man grinned wryly. Half of it was for the little lady who died, and half of it was helpless for the changes in the capital. It doesn't matter if you copy a county lord's house, but the market will be deserted for at least half a month. I earned some rent money by serving soup to guests in the tavern, and now I saw that the whole family would have to sleep on the street.

"Hmm." Wang Xun nodded, and stuffed more than a dozen copper coins into the store's small second-hand shop. The shopkeeper, who was sighing, was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down, "I can't do it, I can't help it." A few words, how can you reward so much son! ”

"My little marquis rewards you, you can take it!" The master of his own family became an officer, and the little servant Wang Xiang also felt confident, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said loudly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Knowing that he had really met a nobleman, the shopkeeper was even more troubled.

Wang Xun glared at Wang Xiang, pulled the reins and silently walked out of the crowd to watch the excitement. The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. Li Shizhi, the left minister, has always had the reputation of a good man, and he has been in power for several years, drinking and buying drunk all day long, and never dares to conflict with Li Linfu. But even so, four years ago, he was still forced to die by Li Linfu. And after the death, the family was also implicated, and the only son was beaten to death by Li Linfu's minions on the way to mourn for his father.

Just as he was sighing, a very cheesy carriage suddenly followed behind him. Hearing the sound of squeaky wheels, Wang Xun instinctively flashed to the side of the road. The sound of wheels stopped abruptly in front of him, the carriage door was quickly pushed open, and a dwarf smiled and threw his hand at him, "Little Marquis, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!" ”

"It turned out to be Senior Jia, what a coincidence today!" Wang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and then returned the salute with a fist.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The dwarf smiled and waved his hand, "Jia Mou is just a relatively early initiator, and he can't be Erlang's senior." Can you get in the car and talk about it, your horse is too high, I will walk with you, and I have to keep my neck up! ”

The night before yesterday, Lei Wanchun fell for this villain, and took advantage of his drunkenness to visit Xue's house at night, only to be hit by the other party's poisonous arrow. Thinking of this, Wang Xun hated to drag the other party out of the carriage and beat him on the ground. But after thinking about it, since Jia Chang could provoke Lei Wanchun to visit the Xue family at night, he would definitely be able to guess that Xue Rongguang's assassination case was related to Lei Wanchun, and now he couldn't conflict with him no matter what, so he had to nod and agree in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm tired of riding." Take a break in your car and breathe a sigh of relief! ”

With that, he threw the reins behind his back and jumped into Jia Chang's carriage.

I have to admit that although the guy surnamed Jia looks a little dirty, he knows how to enjoy it very much. He had widened the carriage by half, and there was a large bearded bed in it, leaving a lot of room for it. In front of Hu's bed, a low table, a bookshelf, a washbasin stand for washing hands, and a closet for clothes were specially installed. Two thirteen or fourteen-year-old Silla maidservants knelt down in front of the low table, skinned the grapes from the low table, and laid them out on a silver platter.

As soon as the doors closed, the inside and outside were separated into two completely different worlds. The cry of the world outside was miserable and miserable, intermittent. The world inside is drunk and golden, and the fragrance is boundless. Stretching out his foot and kicking one of the Silla maidservants, Jia Chang ordered in a low voice, "Go, go over there and rub the feet of the little marquis." If you're done, I'll give you to him tonight to warm his bed!" ”

The little Silla maid was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of ecstasy swelled up in her eyebrows. Quickly moved his knees to Wang Xun's side, and reached out to take off his boots.

"The seniors are gracious, and the younger brother is heartfelt! But the younger brother's family is already overcrowded, and he really doesn't dare to accept this generous gift anymore! Seeing this, Wang Xun hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him. Outside, I just promised to accept Bai Jingzhi, and there is a purple dill at home, and then get a Silla maid to warm the bed, and the Wang family will be very lively. Although the first two people are gentle, they may not drink gratuitous vinegar in front of themselves. But one day when he was not at home, the little maid of Silla "accidentally" fell into the pond and drowned, which is not impossible. Even if you accumulate virtue and do good, you still don't appreciate it. Anyway, that's a life, you can't be an ant, right?

Jia Chang looked at him and laughed, "Didn't you say that a true genius is self-efficacious?" Why is Mingyun polite to me?! ”

"Wang hasn't read a few books, so he can't afford to be a talent! is a senior, and his skills are really admirable. Wang Xun shook his head and complimented him with a smile.

Jia Chang suddenly had a cold face, sighed, and asked faintly: "Is it so difficult to save the word senior and call me Brother Jia?" ”

Because of his good training in cockfighting, Jia Chang was given a dismissal position as a doctor at the court. But since the two met, Wang Xun has been calling him "senior", obviously because of the estrangement with the other party. At this moment, he was pointed out in front of others, his face couldn't help but be hot, he smiled, and explained in a low voice: "Wang has always liked to train cockfighting, so calling you a senior is not deliberately alienated." Since Brother Jia doesn't like this title, then I might as well be respectful! ”

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, I thought you looked down on me! Jia Chang immediately laughed again and complained in a low voice.

"Don't dare!" Wang Xun immediately explained, "Although Wang has no ability, he will not judge people by their appearance!" ”

"It's me who is too careful!" Jia Chang admitted with a smile, "The two of them can only understand a few very simple Tang dialects, and they can be regarded as dumb people." The mezzanine of this carriage is made of cotton, and the speech inside is basically inaudible outside! After explaining, he quickly added: "I have already heard about the incident of Xue Zhai in the middle of the night the day before yesterday. Yang Guozhong jumped out and took the matter over, but who did it, Mingyun must know as well as me in his heart! ”

Talking to this kind of guy with a nine-hole exquisite heart in his body, you don't have to make too many detours. Wang Xun nodded and admitted in a low voice, "Indeed, it was Brother Lei who did it. He told me that he was instructed by Brother Jia! ”

"Pointing out, don't dare to be!" Jia Chang scooped up a grape with peeled and seeded grapes from the plate with a silver spoon, and said as he ate it, "I didn't expect the movement to be so big. I didn't expect Yang Guozhong to jump out of the tank for Lei Daxia. What's wrong here, can Mingyun tell me about it? ”

"I don't know what's going on. Brother Lei was hit by a poisoned arrow and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Yang Guozhong took care of the matter, otherwise, it is estimated that I would have to run for my life here and there! Wang Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly in a low voice.

From his words, Jia Chang obviously heard the complaint, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Lei Zhuangshi is injured, is he seriously injured?" Xue Rongguang's two blows, how could he hurt Lei Daxia? ”

"It's a poisoned arrow!" Wang Xun emphasized again, secretly scolding Jia Chang for hypocrisy in his heart, "There seem to be many people living in Xue Mansion, isn't Brother Jia clear?" ”

"I was just passing by from the outside, and I thought it was a big house." Jia Chang was so remorseful that he patted his head again and again, "Reckless, reckless." Since the surname Xue has become someone else's thug, he has to raise a few dogs at home to obey the call. Blame me, blame me, how is Lei Daxia's injury, do you need me to help you hire a Langzhong? ”

'I'll see how long you can fit it!' Wang Xun scolded in his heart, but the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, "It's okay." The wound has been healed. Brother Lei has friends all over the world, and just poison arrows can't help him. Nowadays, many friends on the rivers and lakes are looking for the culprit, if Brother Jia has news, you might as well let me know. I think that no matter how tightly he guards, there are dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him every day, and there will always be a day when he is caught. “
