The next day, the whole Jingzhou knew that the second young master of Nangong who came from Pingyang actually left a courtesan named Xiao Taohong for the night under the nose of his fiancée. I heard that Miss Yao had a big quarrel, and in anger, she turned around and went back to the South China Sea.

Not long after, it was also rumored that 'Luo Yunshi' stayed overnight in Qifengzhuang, and even a few little girls around him did not let go, and a sentence confirmed the rumors of Nangong Jin's romance.

Hong Jipeng felt that he had come in time, and when he was about to stick it with a smiling face, who knows, Nangong Jin rolled his eyes and looked at him coldly, "Who asked you to come up?" ”

"Hall Master, this, no one, I'll come up, hehe. Lao Hong knows, hehe, not angry. Girl, let's go, let's go, don't be happy....... ”

"Alright, alright." Nangong Jin shook his hand impatiently, ignored Hong Jipeng, and looked at a book at ease.

Every time Hong Jipeng wanted to speak, Nangong Jin made a gesture to close his voice. Let Hong Jipeng not stand or sit. After all, from the moment he entered the door, Nangong Jin didn't let him sit.

In this way, I don't know whether it is one stick of incense or two sticks of incense, and it feels longer in Hong Jipeng's heart. Nangong Jin finally threw away the books in his hand, got up from the half-lying couch, stretched his waist, looked at Hong Jipeng, and said, "Go out of the city with me." ”

Two people and two horses, riding out of the city. Nangong Jin rode away first, completely ignoring Hong Jipeng's horseback riding skills behind him.

Not long after leaving the city, I arrived at a half-old manor. Nangong Jin looked around, it was very remote and almost uninhabited. knocked on the door, and it took an old man to open the door for a long time, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I don't want to look for anyone, I want to go in and have a look."

"Childe, I'm sorry, this is a private place, and our master's family ......."

Nangong Jin was a little impatient and took out a piece of stainless steel token and shook it. The old man was slightly stunned, immediately stood upright, and saluted respectfully: "Under the Iron Sword Hall, I have seen the master of the main hall." ”

"How many people are there guarding the village?"

"Back to the hall master, there are two subordinates and subordinates and old women."

"How many miles is this radius, and there is no one in normal times?"

"There are almost no people, this village is too partial, the ground is not fertile, and nothing can be planted. However, this was the first Zhuangzi placed by the old hall master of Qin that year, and he was always reluctant. ”

Hong Jipeng finally arrived, hurriedly dismounted, and said breathlessly: "Hall master, don't wait for Lao Hong, Lao Hong doesn't have such good riding skills as the hall master." ”

Nangong Jin didn't look at him, "Now that it's here, let's go in and have a look." Then he said to the old man: "You don't have to follow, we can just take a look." ”

The old man bowed and withdrew.

Hong Jipeng hurriedly followed, seemed to have finally figured out the place, and asked puzzledly: "This, this is not the Zhuangzi of the Iron Sword Hall?" ”

"yes." Nangong Jin replied casually. "I asked them to send me a Zhuangzi from outside the city, and they got such a place."

Hearing Nangong Jin's unkind tone, Hong Jipeng hurriedly fell into the well, "Ah, then they will be stingy." This place has been empty for twenty or thirty years. When I was a kid, my dad and I used to visit. ”

Nangong Jin wandered around, seemingly more satisfied than before, "The place is not too big, but it's good." The inside doesn't look as broken as the outside either. Suddenly turned back to Hong Jipeng and said: "This place should be renovated and repaired, and it should be good to get a fireworks pavilion out." ”

The Fireworks Pavilion is the most famous brothel in Jingzhou. Hong Jipeng was stunned, as if he felt Nangong Jin's meaning in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." This place is not too far from the city gate, come out before closing the city gate, go back after opening the city gate, convenient, no problem, how to play how you want. With a smiling face again, he gave a thumbs up, "It's still the hall master who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Nangong Jin doesn't seem to like Hong Jipeng's sycophants very much, "It's not thoughtful or thoughtful, and if you can't see it, no one will complain, please be quiet." ”

"Yes...... yes."

Nangong Jin seemed to look very carefully, and didn't let go of every corner. Hong Jipeng followed behind and walked for most of the hour. Finally, Nangong Jin asked again: "You stopped the west of the city to charge?" ”

Hong Jipeng was stunned, "Ha, how can there be?" Don't listen to people's nonsense. ”

"I was there yesterday. When you enter the door, you will charge me five taels of silver. ”

"This, this ......, this is all the ...... that the boys are fooling around." Hong Jipeng looked embarrassed, "I, I'll tell them to withdraw when I go back." ”

"Why withdraw? Good idea. Nangong Jin said casually, and he couldn't hear any attitude. Pointing to Zhuangzi, he asked, "You are good at this." See how to get it here? ”

"This, the hall master wants to make a garden?" Meddlesome! What a good thing! Hong Jipeng forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and confirmed.

"Nonsense! Why else would I ask you to come? Glancing at Hong Jipeng, "It's inconvenient for me to do this." What do I want, you know? ”

Hong Jipeng nodded busily, "I understand." ”

"Okay, then in the next few days, you go back and calculate, and tell me how much silver you want." Without waiting for Hong Jipeng's reaction, he went out directly, got on the horse and left.

Hong Jipeng couldn't suppress the happy expression on his face and hurriedly followed.

**********

Originally, it was Qin Yongsen who made an appointment in the evening, but I didn't expect that Qin Mancang would come.

Seeing Qin Mancang, Nangong Jin smiled, and the aura of 'no one should be approached' for a whole day was finally less.

"I've seen the hall master."

Nangong Jin got up and gave up his seat, "I haven't seen you for a while, the old man's complexion is better." ”

"Blessing to the hall master." This sentence, Qin Mancang seems to be sincere.

"Haha, I'll just have one bare, and you have to work hard to get results." Nangong Jin smiled and made tea again. "The old man will have to stay a few more days."

Qin Mancang said with a smile: "After all, the countryside is too lonely, what the hall master said is right, and he should let his children and grandchildren do their filial piety." ”

"Oh? That's a good idea. ”

"Starting tomorrow, we will send people to Xiaoye Village one after another. The old man knew the main evidence of the hall. If you look for it with everyone, you will definitely find it. Li Gongzi's side, when we start, Ye'er will go and invite. and Dr. Du, many things are indeed indispensable to the two of them. Qin Mancang lowered his head and thought about it, but still said: "That place is desolate, I'm afraid that so many people will always find it at once." ”

"It's okay, the two of them don't have a mind. Hong Jipeng wants to make a fortune. Yang Wentian, hmph, I'm afraid that he wants to deal with his subordinates as soon as possible, so that he can enter Beijing early, he doesn't care what I'm doing. Nangong Jin served tea to the two, "Also, the old Zhuangzi outside your city, I heard that it is the old man's first property?" ”

Qin Mancang smiled and nodded.

"Good place. Don't do it. Seeing that Qin Mancang didn't understand what he meant, he explained with a smile: "I went to see it with Hong Jipeng today." Although they sealed the west of the city, they were in the city after all. With so many people, it's best to let them go out of the city first, so that they can go to the East. ”

Qin Mancang was stunned, his expression was slightly dazed, and he asked uncertainly: "All of them are leaving?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "There aren't many people in all." I heard my father-in-law say that I was almost done, and the rest were all gangsters. Can you send it? ”

Qin Mancang lowered his head and thought about it, and nodded cautiously.

Nangong Jin laughed, "If you have difficulties, just say it, I don't want to be surprised." ”

Qin Mancang sighed, raised his head as if not letting tears flow from his eyes, "Hall Master, that place ......." Nodding again, "Three days, there will be no surprises." ”

"I believe in you. There is time, and I still want the cause of death of the old hall master. ”

"Good. Five days later, I will give a satisfactory answer to the hall master about the matter of Xiaoye Village. Qin Mancang replied cautiously.

Not long after Qin Mancang left, Li Songran arrived. Nangong Jin was just about to go to bed, got up with his clothes on, and saw that Li Songran was covered in dust, and said with a smile: "It's so late, I'll get some supper?" ”

Li Songran shook his head and sat down, took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it over, "This is the evidence in Daye Village's hand." There was some frustration in the words.

Nangong Jin opened it, and there was only a money dart and a blood book written on the hem of his clothes. The money dart has turned black, it should be bloodstained. And the blood book, there is only one sentence: 'Murderer, Yang Wentian.' ’

Li Songran took the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Jin smiled and said, "I'll boil some hot water." ”

"No, you don't." Li Songran sighed, "There are not many families in Daye Village, and I don't have much to do with them. I asked Uncle Cheng, it was the Jia clan who wanted to enter Beijing at that time, so I found the eldest in the Jia clan, and I took him to Ye Hui's cemetery tonight and talked openly and honestly. And then he gave it to me. ”

Nangong Jin stared at Li Songran with wide eyes, he didn't expect this kid to do such a thing of kidnapping and coercion.

Li Songran looked at Nangong Jin, and said, "You said that time is tight, and you don't know when you want to ask slowly." ”

Nangong Jin nodded involuntarily and pointed at the money dart, "This is ......, Yang Wentian's?" ”

"It is said that I have never seen Yang Wentian do it."

"And who wrote this blood book?"

Li Songran was even more depressed, "It is said that the village chief of Xiaoye Village. ”

Nangong Jin was surprised: "He's not dead?" ”

"Dead." Li Songran paused, "It is said that it was not that no one escaped at that time. There were two, one was the son of the village chief, and the child was twelve years old at the time, and he had this blood letter in his hand. ”

"What about others?"

"Dead. Four years ago, I had chickenpox and had no money to treat it, so I died. ”

"And there's another one?"

"His sister, who was an infant five years ago, is now less than six years old." Li Songran shook his head helplessly, "At the beginning, they wanted to sue the royal court because they still had personal certificates. ”

Nangong Jin looked at these and laughed helplessly, "No wonder I didn't tell you." ”

"What should I do?" Li Songran asked.

Nangong Jin put away the things on the table and said to Li Songran: "I'll ask someone to prepare bath water for you, go and be tired." Rest well tomorrow, don't think so much, there's always a way. ”
