Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Jiangdu Chapter 50 Prepare early
When the man in white shirt heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, "For so long, you have found such a little news?" β
The old man: "That Jiangnan has no friends, and no special hobbies, all day long, either in Yaofu, or in the restaurant, there is no way to find out below!" β
Man in white shirt: "What is his martial arts?" β
β¦β¦ The old man opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
The man in the white shirt waited for a while, and when he saw that the old man did not respond, he turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "The people below went to warn him, but they didn't fight." β
The man in the white shirt stared at the old man for a long time, "Worried about accidentally injuring your fellow doorman?" β
The old man waved his hand hurriedly, "No! I've ordered people to check to see if someone has escaped or leaked their martial arts. β
The man in the white shirt looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Escape? β
Old man: "After thinking about it, I can basically rule out the possibility of the same sect, my sect was wiped out many years ago, and I was able to get out by chance."
But Jiang Nan knows the martial arts of my sect, so there is only one possibility-some of the disciples I accepted escaped or leaked the exercises.
In recent days, I have carefully checked and found no escape. Moreover, they don't have many opportunities to go out, and they monitor each other every time they go out, and they don't find any abnormalities such as anyone leaving the team, and they don't have the opportunity to leak the exercises.
So, that's what I didn't figure out. β
Man in white shirt: "Is it possible that one of your previous dead disciples cheated to death?" β
The old man pouted, brushed his beard and groaned, "It seems to be possible." β
Seeing that the old man was still pondering, the man in the white shirt waved his hand and said, "It's not important, don't pay attention to it!" Quickly find out what his martial arts are, and if he becomes an enemy in the future, he can deal with it as soon as possible. β
The knock on the door sounded, and the old man flashed to the door, his movements were light, and he landed silently, and he couldn't tell that he was an elderly person at all.
"Who?" The old man asked softly.
"When", the visitor did not answer, but knocked on the door again.
My own people, this is the agreed code.
The old man gently closed the door through a crack, and the person who came close to him muttered a few words through the crack in the door, and turned to leave.
The old man closed the door tightly and walked back slowly, "Childe, there is news from Wanfu that Jiangnan has good martial arts, and Tang Song, the leader of the courtyard, is not his opponent. β
The man in the white shirt stared, "Why did he get involved with Wan Yijia again so quickly?" β
Old man: "With Yao Zhankui in the middle to build a bridge, it is not difficult to think about it." β
The man in the white shirt poured himself another glass of wine with a pot, "Send someone to contact it, if it can be used by me, he will definitely be of infinite use in the future!" After speaking, he took a sip of the cup.
Old man: "Yes, Childe! β
The man in the white shirt: "Fu Bo, how many times have I told you, when it's only you and me, just call me 'Yuan Liang'!" β
Old man: "Get used to it! β
The man in the white shirt shook his head helplessly and didn't force it anymore.
β¦β¦
Wanfu, a loft in the backyard, the surrounding environment is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but the building is silent all the year round, lifeless, only in the past year, there are occasional sounds.
"Miss, I heard that Yao Ye brought a son to the house today, claiming to be his newly recognized younger brother. That person is very good, even more powerful than Cao Zijian, who became a poem in seven steps, and he can write a poem in an instant. β
"Maybe it's because I already have a draft, and it's just the right time for it."
"His calligraphy is unique, and even the master is full of praise and self-ashamed!"
"Ohββ? Ten thousand...... I've seen Daddy's words, upright and majestic, if he is not as good, that person has some ability. β
"More than that, Miss! His martial arts are also very powerful, and the leaders of the palace are not his opponents. β
"I don't understand martial arts!"
"I don't understand either. However, I have heard that the master evaluates him in eight words. β
"Dead girl, don't be appetizing, say it quickly!"
"Wen Ke Anbang, Wu can set the country."
"Hmmm! Daddy's vision shouldn't be bad, he can say that, presumably that person does have some ability! β
"Not really! I also heard people say that the boy has a face like a crown of jade and eyes like stars, and he is a rare beautiful man in the world! Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time, and I really wanted to see what he looked like! β
"Alright! Look at your nymphomaniac face! β
"Miss, how about we go and see him secretly?"
"You don't know anyone, where are you going?"
"Hey, hey! I've inquired about it. His name is Jiang Nan, and now he lives in Yao Ye's mansion, and Ding Shengyuan was opened by him, and I heard that he came up with those 'discount coupons', 'coupons' and the like. I also heard that the lord admired his talent very much, and arranged two errands for himβthe recorder of the county guard and the county governor of the first county......"
In the attic, a girl dressed as a mustache was chattering there, but she didn't pay attention, and the young lady sitting on the chair began to wander after hearing her mention the words "Jiangnan", "discount coupons" and "coupons".
After a while, the maid finished speaking, and saw that the young lady was staring blankly in one direction, and she didn't move, and she was startled.
It didn't take long for the young lady to recover from her illness, and if she fell ill again, the lord would definitely blame himself for not taking care of herself, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she would receive.
Thinking of this, the maid hurriedly pulled Miss's arm and shook it, "Miss, Miss!" What happened to you? Don't scare me! β
After a few calls in succession, the young lady came back to her senses, "Yingxiang, what's wrong?" β
The maid saw that Miss was fine, and the pretty face of the pear blossom with rain showed a smile, "Miss, what happened to you just now?" β
The young lady was silent, and asked as if unintentionally, "Then Jiang Gongzi is really like what you said?" β
The maid named Yingxiang stuck out her tongue, "Actually, I don't know very well, I heard what the maid in the house said when she chatted." β
The young lady frowned lightly and sighed: "I really want to see it, but I don't know when he will come to the house again!" β
When Yingxiang heard this, she hurriedly responded: "Miss, if you are really interested in that son, I will go and explain to the other maids, and next time that son comes to the house, let them come over and say goodbye!" β
Miss's gaze fell on Yingxiang's face, "I didn't say I wanted to see him!" β
Yingxiang patted her red lips, "Look at my mouth, which lady wants to see him, it's the slave who wants to see him!" After speaking, he stared at the young lady meaningfully.
The young lady was noncommittal, her expression was indifferent, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
β¦β¦
The sun is setting in the west, Ding Shengyuan, as usual, the voices of people are boiling, and the shouts of diners and guys are intertwined, so lively.
When Jiang Nan came in, Shopkeeper Liu was making an abacus in the counter, presumably today's harvest was good.
"Jiang Gongzi! You're here! Wu Liu was patrolling the hall when he saw Jiang Nan walking in from outside the door and shouted loudly.
Shopkeeper Liu also hurriedly put down his abacus and walked over, "Jiang Gongzi! β
Jiang Nan nodded, "It's okay!" You all go and get busy, I'll just take a look! β
When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he was not polite, and turned back to the counter.
There are a lot of people here, and he will stay there all the time. There are many people, and there is a lot of cash in the counter, and it is difficult to explain if it is lost.
Wu Liu didn't leave in a hurry, but took a step closer and asked in a low voice, "Childe, I heard that you have become the county lieutenant of Shou County?" β
Jiang Nan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at him suspiciously, the matter that was settled in the morning, only a few hours later, he knew, the news was really well-informed, "How do you know?" β
Wu Liu chuckled, "Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths." If you want to say something else, we may not be able to, but if you want to say that you want to inquire about the news, it's really not blowing, in this Jiangdu City, it's really difficult for us to wait! β
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up, and he looked him up and down again, and said suspiciously: "Sixth, didn't brag?" β
Wu Liu rolled his eyes and sneered, "Childe, don't underestimate people, if you become a county lieutenant, maybe there will be a lot of places where you will use me in the future!" β
Jiang Nan saw that there were fewer and fewer guests in the hall, so he vacated a few tables, hurriedly pulled over the bench and sat down, and motioned for Wu Liu to sit too, "Old Six, talk about it quickly!" I'm going to work tomorrow, and my brain is still a mess! β
Wu Liu removed his shirt, held back a smile, looked complacent, and sat beside Jiang Nan with his body upright.
Jiang Nan saw him pretending there, and slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't talk useless, say it quickly!" β
Wu Liu immediately regained his hippie smile and probed over, "Childe, what do you want to listen to?" β
Jiang Nan: "Tell me everything you know about the county lieutenant." β
Wu Liuxian nodded, "Okay! Childe, my throat is a little dry. As he spoke, he clutched his neck.
Jiang Nan raised his slap and glared at him, "You're still energetic, aren't you?" β
Wu Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't do it, let's say it!" β
Jiang Nan said that he would not really be so harsh on him, and he would not be so stingy that he would not even be willing to give up a pot of tea.
waved his hand and ordered the man to serve a pot of tea, and looked at Wu Liu calmly, waiting for the following.
Wu Liu also knew that Jiang Nan was peaceful, so he made a joke with him. Coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, and began to slowly explain his understanding of the county lieutenant.
After all, the limited force in the county is in the hands of the county lieutenant, and the external commander arrests and arrests the thieves to investigate the case, and the internal jailer guards guard the criminals, and at the same time they have to hear and judge the cases and collect taxes.
For ordinary people, the prestige of the county lieutenant is even higher than that of the county order.
However, the world is dependent on blessings and misfortunes, and crises coexist.
Cracking down on thieves and investigating cases is the easiest way to make political achievements, and they are rewarded and even promoted. But it is also the most dangerous, and you may lose your life, and you will be punished if you don't solve the case in time.
The rest are drudgery, no rewards for doing well, and penalties for not doing well.
If the prisoner escapes, the case is wrongly judged, and the taxes are not collected in time, they will be punished. β
In the morning, Yao Zhankui also briefly introduced the functions of the county lieutenant, but what he said was general, far less than Wu Liu's explanation from the perspective of pros and cons.
After listening to Wu Liu's explanation, Jiang Nan had a bottom in his heart. As long as you take it seriously, none of this is difficult, except for the prisoners. After all, it is impossible for him to stay in prison every day, and the jailer cannot guarantee that he will not be negligent.
It seems that I have to visit the prison from time to time to remind them.
