Chapter Eighty-Nine: Windfall
Seeing what Mr. Wang said, I also know that they are really worried about my safety, although the time together is not very long, but we have established a deep relationship, although Wang Jinhuai and *** did not say it, I also know in my heart that they are also concerned about my safety, if I don't come back, they will really go to save me.
"Old man, I made you worry, I will pay attention in the future, this will not happen again. I don't know if there is any news in Qingzhou, I guess there should be movement in Wang Jian! ”
The old man sighed and said: "I'm also worried about whether they can handle it, but for a while, there is no news from you, we want to rescue you first, and then say, with my identity, I don't dare to go to the capital easily, fortunately, you escaped and came back." I think I'll go to Jinan in the next few days, to investigate, now the Jingli Mansion is being monitored, if the messenger comes, I'm afraid they don't know, and then fall into the hands of Jinyiwei, and then give money Shun Ming will be in trouble, now that you are back, I am also relieved, tomorrow I will leave for Jinan, if they rescue Wang Jian, I will take him back together, Wang Jian is both civil and military, now the children are Wang Jinhuai himself is teaching, Wang Jianlai can also help. ”
Looking at the old man's silver hair, I feel very uncomfortable, at such an old age, I still let the old man run around, it seems that there are still few people, there are not many people available, I don't dare to use the people from the cheap dad for the time being, and some cheap dad doesn't tell me.
"Old man, why don't I go there, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand tossing back and forth at your age." He also said, "yes, why don't I go there?" ”
The old man waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything, you are not familiar with it, it is useless to go, the tasks of a few of you at home are not light, and you have to hurry up to build a house, winter is coming, Wang Jianying is almost back, so many people have no place to live, but it will be troublesome, and, *** you tell Lei Yunzi about the situation of the cottage during this period of time." ”
Then he gave me a brief introduction to the development of Leiyun Village during this period of time: "In the past 20 days, the walls on both sides have been repaired, more than a dozen houses have been built, and more than a dozen homeless people have been recruited from outside. I also asked the people who went out to buy a dozen sheep and five cows, anyway, we have too much idle wasteland here, a few older children and old women who can't do labor, and they go to herd sheep if they have nothing to do. Now the clothes in the village are almost finished, and all the clothes will be replaced with unified clothes in a few days. ”
"I'll solve the matter of weapons, I need to reserve more food and vegetables in the village, and I have to be prepared when winter comes, if the money is not enough, I still have it there, and I'll send some in a few days."
"The money is enough, and there is still a lot of silver sent by the old man, but the road is not easy to walk, and there are too many things to pull in."
"This is also a problem, but now we have to keep a low profile, try not to let the outside know about our existence, I will go back and find a way to buy the land here, then it can be legalized, and I can do whatever I want to build roads. There is also a smart and clever person, go to the capital market, watch the honest people come back, don't too much, the identity background must be clear, be careful of the secret agents of Jinyiwei, they are everywhere. ”
Old man Wang also said: "Yes, we must be careful in the future, we can't ask for everyone, we must be innocent, and your identity should not be known to the people in the village for the time being, and find a suitable opportunity to tell everyone in the future." ”
After discussing for a while, we basically set the direction of development for the coming month. I got up and took my leave, and the three of them did not keep me.
Liu Lianjiang and I got out of the cottage and rode to the capital, now that the matter between Mr. Wang and the cottage has been settled, the next step is Zihan's side.
When we got home, it was already time, we ate some outside, and when we got home, we saw Lao Liu still waiting at the door, or father and son.
When I got up the next day, I took Liu Lianjiang out with me, put on my guard uniform from Wupin, and it was better to wear the official uniform in the capital. Specially strolling, passing by the old man's mansion, but seeing, the hawkers are still there, just sitting there lazily chatting, not as vigilant as at the beginning, the door of the mansion is still tightly closed, we found a teahouse, sat down and asked for a pot of tea, drinking tea and looking at the door of the mansion from a distance.
After staying for more than an hour, it was useless to see anyone going out in the mansion, anyway, it was fine, and I didn't want to leave, so I just sat there and drank a stomach full of tea. Until noon, I beckoned Liu Lianjiang to stand up, wanting to find a place to eat, but then I saw the door of the old man's mansion, pushed it open from the inside, and walked out of it A middle-aged man dressed as a family member, I saw that this was one of the old man's original stays, and he was carrying a package in his hand, which was my bag. I saw the man look around, and beckoned to a vendor who was watching not far away, and the vendor saw this man beckoning him, got up and came to the gate, and the two of them muttered not knowing what to say.
But I saw that the vendor entered the mansion and closed the door again, and the old man's family who came out, carrying my bags, walked in our direction, passed by the teahouse with his head down, and continued to walk forward, I beckoned Liu Lianjiang to follow, and followed the family together, walked two streets, and did not see the family stop.
I said to Liu Lianjiang: "The person in front of me is an enemy of a friend of mine, and I want to go to him for trouble, so you can pretend that you don't know me and follow me, and act when the opportunity arises." Liu Lianjiang agreed, and I quickly caught up with the family, overtook him at the mouth of an alley, came to the front, turned around and slapped him hard, the man covered his face and said, "Why are you beating me." ”
"It's you who beat me, when will you pay me back the money you owe me, it's been more than a year, I can't find you, it turns out that you are hiding, if you don't give me the silver today, see if I don't kill you."
The man saw that I was wearing a guard uniform, and he didn't even have the idea of fighting back, so he covered his face and cried and said, "Uncle, you recognize the wrong person, I don't know you, how can I borrow your silver." Then I saw that the people around me were looking at us, and they shouted, "You don't have any reason to owe money." As he spoke, he punched him in the chest again, and the man seemed to have a little effort, but he only stumbled and did not fall.
I saw that he didn't dare to fight back, so he stepped forward directly, and punched him several times in a row, but the man finally couldn't stand still, squatted on the ground and begged for mercy: "Uncle, how much money I owe you, I pay you back." The onlookers saw that he admitted that he owed money, and since he admitted it, they all felt bored and left, I said: "I really don't know how much you owe me, you borrowed me a thousand taels of silver last year, and said that you should pay back two cents of interest?" ”
The family listened to me say so much silver, and finally told the truth: "Uncle, I am a secret agent of Jinyiwei, I really don't owe you any money, you must have recognized the wrong person, I don't believe you went to Jinyiwei's yamen with me, our chief can testify, I have been working undercover outside for the past few years, how can I have time to come out and lend you money." ”
"You're really a brocade guard, okay, get up and talk in the alley, there are a lot of people outside, it's not good for them to see it."
When the man saw him say the word Jinyiwei, I spoke in a much better tone, so I stood up, covered my stomach after I had been punched a few times, and followed me to the alley on the side.
I said to Liu Lianjiang, who was on the side: "Look at it, don't let the idlers come in, I'll talk to this big brother." ”
