Chapter Thirty-Six: The Struggle Between the Tip of the Needle and Mai Mang
This morning, Li Weiwei was pacing back and forth in the study, a little uneasy. The matter he instructed Han Pingsan and Xu Si'er, no one has come to hear from him. So, he asked people to call Han Pingsan over.
After a while, Han Pingsan walked into the study nervously. He knew why the county magistrate was looking for him, but there was really no way to shirk it, so he could only come over hard. "My lord, my subordinates are late, please forgive me!" said that he bowed to the end, and he didn't dare to look at the face of the county commander Li Weiwei.
After a long time, Li Weiwei made a nasal "um" sound, and then said expressionlessly: "What has happened to the Tian family in the past few days?" What is Tian Huaying's situation? ”
Han Pingsan said in a low voice: "Lord Hui, everything is as usual in the Tian family these days, and there is nothing special about it. I asked a few doctors who went to Tian's house for treatment, and they all said that Tian Huaying was seriously injured and would take at least more than a month to get out of bed and walk. In the past few days, the villain has been monitoring the vicinity of Tianfu, and has not seen Tian Ruogu or other important people coming in and out. ”
"Well, you are quite capable of doing things, continue to work hard, and this official will not treat you badly." Li Weiwei nodded, groaned, suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked, "Has anyone from the Tian family come to the county government to urge the case to be solved?" ”
Han Pingsan was stunned for a moment and replied, "No!" In the past few days, no one from the Tian family has come to the county office. After the crime that day, the villain took a few steps to the scene of the crime with Tian Ruogu, and wanted to leave Tian Huaying behind. However, the villain was afraid that more people would cause more trouble, and Tian Ruogu's attitude was extremely tough, so he took Tian Huaying away for treatment. Since that day, no one from the Tian family has ever been to the county office. ”
Li stood up with a slap on the desk, and said urgently: "Not good! Tian Huaying must have found out that the official sent someone to assassinate him. This thief, I still underestimate him. ”
Han Pingsan was also shocked when he heard it, "No!" ”
Li Wei said hatefully: "This official knows Tian Ruogu and Tian Huaying's virtue too well, they are originally people who want to make trouble for no reason. Tian Huaying almost died this time, and suffered such a big loss, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them not to come to the county office to make trouble. The Tian family has been so quiet these days, it must have noticed something. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Han Pingsan and asked again, "Are you sure that no one in the Tian family has been in and out in the past few days?" ”
Han Pingsan began to recall nervously, and suddenly patted his head and said, "Adult, the villain remembers." It's true that no one has been in and out of Tian's house these days, but this morning I saw Tian San sneakily coming out of the side door of Tian's house. Because the villain kept staring at Tian Huaying's news, he didn't care much, just let a splash go over and take a look. ”
Li Wei hurriedly ordered: "It is possible that this Tian San is delivering news for Tian Huaying." You can catch up with it now, whether Tian San is going to Fucheng or somewhere else, you must stop it, whether you live or die! The official told you that if something goes wrong again, you and your eldest son will have to reunite in another place. When he said the back, his tone was so calm that it made people feel creepy.
Han Pingsan dared to be lazy, nodded hurriedly, and kept saying: "Don't worry, don't worry!" If something goes wrong again this time, the villain will come to see him. After speaking, he hurriedly withdrew from the study, and after asking the splasher, he rode out of the north gate on a fast horse and went towards Qingzhou along the official road.
Time went back to two hours ago, Tian San, who had already recovered from his foot injury, was told by a family member that the eldest young master had something to look for him, and hurriedly threw down the leaf card in his hand and walked towards Tian Huaying's residence. When he arrived at the door, he knocked on the door a few times, and then was led by a maid to the bed where Tian Huaying was lying.
Tian Huaying was still pale and a little sluggish, but her complexion was still much better than a few days ago. After motioning for the maid to stand back, he asked softly, "Tian San, you have also been with Young Master Ben for several years, right?" ”
"Big young master, the little one has been with you for seven years. Tian Da and Tian Er have been with you for a longer time, but this time, in order to protect the eldest young master...... Tian San forced out a few tears, and seemed to be emotional.
Tian Huaying also sighed when she saw this, and said, "Young Master Ben will not treat them badly, and their family will definitely have something to eat." Now Young Master Ben can't swallow this breath, so I want you to go out for me. ”
"Although the eldest young master said, I, Tian San, am also a man, and there is absolutely nothing to say about coming and going in the water and fire, so this life is left here." Tian San slapped his chest loudly, looking very reassuring.
"Well, there are five hundred taels of silver tickets on the table, you take it as a coil, and then go to Qingzhou to send a letter to the imperial history of Shandong Province, or spend some silver for Menzi to hand it over. I have asked someone to inquire, and Shandong Dao Yushi recently stopped in Qingzhou. As he spoke, he laboriously raised his arm and took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Tian San.
Although Tian San shouted loudly, he was a little stunned when he heard that he was going to see an official who was bigger than the county master. He is a lazy man, and he is a good hand at bullying widows and loneliness on weekdays, but if he goes to see the official, it is a mouse and a cat. At this time, he didn't know how to answer, after all, he would have to eat with the owner in the future.
"What, you have any other ideas?" Tian Huaying looked at Tian San, her eyes widened, obviously a little annoyed.
Seeing Tian Huaying's appearance, he thought about the five hundred taels of silver tickets on the table, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the matter of the eldest young master is the business of the villain." The little one hasn't been to Qingzhou yet, and I'm thinking about which way to go faster. ”
"Well, this time the stakes are very high, you must not show off when you go out. After the letter is delivered as soon as possible, stay outside, and don't go back to Tian's house for the time being. When it's over, I'll send someone to find you. Tian Huaying was still a little worried, after all, he also knew Tian San's temperament, he usually liked to wander on the streets, and he had never seen any big scenes at all. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Wu went home to visit his relatives and didn't return, and there was really no available manpower around him, he would never let Tian San do this. So, he patiently mentioned it again, and said that Tian San was dizzy, and his heart was even more bottomless.
Tian San came out of the room, carrying the letter in his arms, and he really felt that it weighed more than a thousand catties, so that he couldn't straighten his waist, and he didn't have the joy of getting five hundred taels of silver. As he walked, he scolded and scolded, "Just because Tian Da and Tian Er died, let Lao Tzu go to Qingzhou to run errands, and there are still so many people in the house who eat dry rice." The surname Wu is really, when he is fine, he shakes the broken fan back and forth regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and now he runs back to visit relatives whenever he has something. Damn, it's really unlucky! As he spoke, he spat on the ground, and grinned at the passing maid, which scared the other party and fled.
"Ahh Sneeze! Mr. Wu still shook the folding fan in his hometown, tightened his clothes and muttered: "It's all mid-spring, why is there still a cold spring?" It's weird. ”
Tian San returned to the room and remembered Tian Huaying's advice, hurriedly changed into an ordinary shabby clothes, and simply cleaned up and prepared to go out. He came to the side door of Tianfu, opened it and looked left and right a few times, and found that no one was paying attention and went out. When he was about to reach the north city gate, he suddenly remembered that he was going to Qingzhou to deliver a letter, which was a distance of hundreds of miles, so he hurriedly turned back to the mule and horse market in the south of the city, rented a donkey and went back on the road. He didn't know he was getting closer and closer to hell yet.
