Chapter 32 "Talking" is a good idea
"Who?"
The door was not opened, and someone asked questions through the door.
"It's me!" The girl said loudly, "Didn't Grandpa Huang ask someone to pick me up?" I'm here, why don't you open the door? ”
There was a sudden silence inside the door.
After a while, a crack peeked out of the door, and someone was peeking out from behind.
Seeing that there were only seven or eight people outside, and there were not many people, the man probed back again.
"Squeak", the door slowly pushed open.
The torches inside were bright, and there were twenty or thirty people standing in the shadows, the first two, the older ones in their fifties, and the younger ones in their early forties, with a smile on their faces, looking very kind people.
Both of them looked out the door, both wary faces.
"Xiu girl, who are these people?" The old man hesitated for a moment and asked.
What he wanted to ask more was why the twenty or so people who went to the Sifang Inn to "invite people" before were missing.
"Lord County Cheng is back, specifically for Grandpa Huang's birthday? My father was still chattering about trivial matters in the county two days ago, if only the county lord was still here, this time I will be happy! The girl did not answer the old man's question, but looked at the smiling man with a little joy.
"Did your dad really mention me?" The county smiled with a smile on his eyes, and he looked a little flattered.
"Is that still fake? Who doesn't know that the county government has the most kind people in the county. The girl said.
The county man showed a little self-satisfaction, but Huang Juren glanced at the people behind the girl, and said: "Now you are also the daughter of the county governor's family, why are you still mixed with these mud legs, and you have no identity!" Come in and see your grandfather, he has eaten a few more glasses of wine before he still talks about you. ”
"They are not outsiders, if they are not by my side, my father will not worry." The girl opened her eyes and told nonsense.
Huang Juren frowned and looked at the pedestrians who began to appear in the streets and alleys: "Then come in." ”
Huo Bao and his entourage followed the girl and entered the gate.
The door was immediately closed.
Huang Juren's face immediately changed, and his eyes fell on Huo Bao and the others like a knife: "Who are you?" What do you want to do with the show girl? ”
I inquired well before, but there were only a few "guys" in the square building, all of whom were locals, and it was common to stretch out their hands.
Huo Bao and the others did not respond, and the girl was puzzled: "Grandpa Huang asked what he was doing like this?" Let's go meet my grandfather! It's a good thing for Grandpa Huang to keep Grandpa to eat, but my father is the most filial, if Grandpa is really drunk and hurts his body, my father is afraid that he will be unhappy! ”
When Huang Juren heard this, his face was full of anger and faint fear, obviously because he had seen Deng Jian's "unhappiness".
The county man was still smiling, his eyes were glued to the girl, and he said, "There is a lone seedling with a beautiful girl, will your father still be unhappy?" Even for the sake of your precious girl, if your father is unhappy, he should turn it into happiness! ”
"What's so strange about a single seedling? My father is only thirty, and it's not that he can't give birth, and I don't know how many brothers and sisters there will be in the future! It's the elder above my father, and my grandfather is the only one. My father was not born by my grandfather, but he was raised by my grandfather, and in my father's heart, my grandfather wants to be ahead of me. The girl spread her hands.
Huang Juren's face turned pale, and sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
The county man's expression was also a little stiff, and his mouth trembled and he didn't speak.
Seeing this, the girl noticed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but worry: "What about my grandfather?" Did something happen to my grandfather? ”
Huo Bao was behind, and he immediately became more vigilant.
According to this girl's words, if Master Deng really has a case, then the calculations of these two people are afraid that they will be in vain, and there is no room for "talking" with Deng Jian at all.
"It's okay, it's okay, your grandfather is drunk...... I fell and ......" Huang Juren didn't care about pursuing Huo Bao and the others, and touched his beard.
"I'm going to see Grandpa!" The girl is very determined.
Huang Juren looked at the county Cheng, who hesitated and nodded.
Huo Bao saw it in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what the confidence of these two people is to act like this, but this hesitant nature is not like a person who can get things done.
As the Black Python Mountain force, Huo Bao should have hoped that the county would be in chaos, so that it would be easier for everyone to attack the city.
But when he thought that Deng Jian had 20,000 people in his hands, he really wanted to let go of the chaos, and he didn't know how much he would die in vain, Huo Bao was a little unbearable.
"Talking" is a good idea.
Master Deng was in the guest room in the front yard, and there were several strong men dressed as family members at the door.
Huo Bao glanced twice, and noticed what they had in common with those in the Ten Directions Inn before.
Standing upright, with sharp eyes, there is no humility and cowering. It's not a family member, it's more like a soldier.
The county that escaped and sneaked back? Suspected of being an entourage of officers and soldiers?
Huo Bao thought of a possibility, but his heart was steady.
The girl had already pushed the door into the guest room, saw a person on the bed, and ran straight over.
On the bed lay an old man, covered with a quilt, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his forehead blurred with flesh and blood.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa ......" The girl lay on the edge of the bed and cried: "What's wrong with you?" Are you waking up? ”
The old man seemed to be alarmed, woke up slowly, saw the girl, his eyes were full of love, and then he woke up and was shocked: "Xiuxiu, run, go to your father!" ”
"Woo...... I'm not running, I'm going to be with my grandfather......" the girl cried.
The old man tried to struggle to get up, but he seemed to have no strength.
Huo Bao sensed that something was wrong, and took two steps forward to remove the quilt.
Under the quilt, the old man's arms and legs were tightly tied, and he was tied into a cocoon, no wonder he couldn't get up.
"My grandfather is a friend of you, why did you kidnap my grandfather and hurt him?" The girl glared at Huang Juren and said angrily.
"What can I do? Your grandfather is stunned by eating and drinking, and he wants to die or live......" Huang Juren's face was full of innocence.
"Xiuxiu, stop talking nonsense with him! He's crazy! Speaking of this, the old man looked at Huang Juren: "It's me who is blind and mistaken of you, today you and I are broken, and you want to take me to blackmail Jian'er, you are daydreaming!" ”
"I'm all kind, Deng Jian pretends to be an official, and he acts mischief in Quyang, what's the difference between him and the White Shirts? Do you really have to be charged with rebellion before you are willing? Take a step back now, and you can also be saved! Huang Juren's face was full of sighs.
"Phew! It's better to say than to sing, who doesn't know who? Jian'er drove away the white-shirted army and recovered the county seat, which was unique in the entire Huainan. Such a credit, let alone a county lieutenant, even a big reward deserves it, but at the moment, it is vague and unclear, and there is no explanation. Earlier, I wondered what had gone wrong, but now I understand that it was your brother-in-law who made it bad! Our county master is so thick-skinned, when the white-shirted army came, he left the people and fled; The white-shirts are gone, slandering Zhongliang, reversing black and white, and wanting to come back to take advantage, are others stupid? Something that is rotten and has no good end! The old man was furious.
"Don't be hard-mouthed, dead old man, who wouldn't dare to touch you? Don't worry, when your son-in-law leaves, I will send your grandchildren to the family reunion! The county man was annoyed and ashamed, and his face did not have the warmth he had before, but showed a little hideous.
"What did you do?" The old man was furious.
The county didn't answer, sat down leisurely, and looked up at the sky outside: "It's fast, don't worry......"
Such a villain is proud, what else can there be, most of them have set up an ambush outside the city.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first", everyone understands this truth.
Huo Bao looked at the county and was not worried about the result outside the county.
The worst outcome is a successful ambush, so what? Whether it is the county or Huang Juren, these two local snakes are all under his nose.
The girl was concerned and chaotic, and said to the county: "Why are you so bad? If you dare to hurt my father, I won't spare you! ”
The county Cheng watched the girl's reaction, not angry but laughing, with unconcealed lewdness in his eyes: "What's wrong if you don't spare me?" If you don't discuss, I'll compensate you for a father, good daughter, and your father will love you well in the future......"
