Chapter 2 Something Strange
In the sound of "woo-" breaking the air, the tip of the stick has come to the door of the visitor, if it is stabbed this time, I am afraid that he will be hit by the head and bleeding, and he will fall to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As soon as the info man landed, he saw someone jumping in front of him and making a move, naturally he was also surprised, but fortunately, he was not slow to react, and shouted hurriedly before Yang Zhen stabbed him: "Yang Er, it's my ......"
With his shout, Yang Zhen's hand froze and did not continue to stab, and at this time, the tip of the stick was less than half a foot away from his face. Yang Zhen had also recognized the identity of the comer, and couldn't help frowning: "Ruan Wu, you came here, why are you still so sneaky?" As he spoke, he withdrew his stick.
This Ruan Wu is a very close friend of the original Yang Zhen, and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is half a head shorter than Yang Zhen, and he looks very thin and flexible. His big name is Ruan Tong, and like Yang Zhen, he likes to mess around in the county, and a young man named Wang Hai is also a headache combination in Zuojin.
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Ruan Wu said he: "It's not because your eldest brother didn't let us come in to see you a few times before, so I thought of climbing the wall to come in." Well, now your brother is still studying his homework, won't he notice? As he spoke, he glanced a little uneasily in the direction from which the sound of books came from on the other side.
Not far in front of them was a large elm tree with dense foliage, which just blocked their figures, so it was not afraid of being detected by Yang Chen. What's more, Yang Chen was studying at this time, and he had no time to take care of it, this courtyard was not small, so it was naturally safe.
Regarding his brother's refusal to call these two friends to see him, Yang Zhen at this time naturally understood the reason, and it also made him feel grateful. However, he also knew that Ruan Wu and the others would not come to the door like this for no reason, so he asked suspiciously: "Say, what happened, can you Young Master Ruan do such a thief's behavior, it is still broad daylight, and I am not afraid of being caught by people passing by as thieves!" ā
"It's not for you Yang Er!" Ruan Wu glared at him angrily. These words made Yang Zhen's eyebrows raised, he only thought that the two brothers had suffered losses in the fight with others because of their absence, so they came to ask for help, but they didn't want to get such an answer: "What is it for me?" ā
Ruan Wuzheng said: "You were injured before, and Wang San and I naturally couldn't bear this breath, so we wanted to find that group of people to vent for you." But no matter how we inquired, we couldn't find out the origin of this group of people, and it wasn't until three days ago that Wang San finally found out by chance that they were not from our Jiangling County. The third Wang in his mouth is their friend Wang Hai.
When Yang Zhen heard him say this, he couldn't help but move in his heart. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the fact that he was beaten before he came to this world, and it was only because of the original Yang Zhen's courage and ruthlessness that it was difficult, but listening to Ruan Wu's words, things were obviously not so simple. I only heard Ruan Wu continue: "Wang San has a cousin, Zhao Qiao, who is on an errand in the county government, you know. Three days ago, they took a thief who had committed a murder in the street, and upon interrogation, they learned that he was the one who had injured you, and that he and the strangers had been hired to get into an argument with you and wound you. And the one who hired them was the steward of the Yao family! ā
"The Yao family? Yao Ju's family? Yang Zhen's two sword eyebrows raised suddenly, and his eyes narrowed.
"Which other Yao family can there be?" Ruan Wu snorted and said: "Although the matter has some eyebrows, but then the yamen will not let it be investigated." Fortunately, Zhao Qiao was present at the time, and he told him about it afterwards, so I rushed to tell you. ā
Yang Zhen groaned. For this Yao family, his original memory is also very limited, only know that they have a lot of power in Jiangling County, the father of the current head of the family, Yao Changsong, has been lifted, and has also created a lot of family business, so even if Yao Changsong has no fame at all, he is also called Yao Juren. The rest, I don't know, after all, the status difference between the two sides is too great. He was just a little strange, why did the Yao family hire someone to beat him, where did he offend the Yao family before?
Seeing that Yang Zhen was silent for a long time, Ruan Wu couldn't help but say again: "Our brothers have never suffered such a big loss, how do you say we should take revenge for this!" ā
Looking at Ruan Wu's appearance of hatred and hatred, Yang Zhen's heart was also cordial, how similar this was to those mercenary comrades-in-arms in his previous life, there were brothers who suffered losses before, and they would also stand up for it and fight back with the most ruthless means. But now, he is no longer the same person, so after suppressing his anger a little, he said: "Until the matter is fully investigated, it is better for us not to move." This Yao family is different from others, and can go to the door with us. And as far as I think, this matter was finally settled by the county government, and it was also because of the Yao family's efforts. ā
Ruan Wu looked Yang Zhen up and down in some surprise, as if looking at a stranger. After a while, he spoke: "Yang Er, I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become so steady?" It's no wonder that he was surprised, according to Yang Zhen's previous temper, he was afraid that he would already be furious when he knew this, and even if his foot was injured, he would shout and hit the door.
Yang Zhen knew that it was difficult to give a reasonable explanation for this matter, so he couldn't say that he was not the original Yang Zhen, so he just smiled: "Not settling accounts with them doesn't mean that the matter is settled, we have to find out the matter clearly, and then think of other ways." ā
In fact, Ruan Wu also knew that it was very unrealistic to come to the Yao family, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to you, I will tell Wang San to ask his cousin to inquire again in the county government to see if there is any further news." ā
While speaking, Yang Chen's reading suddenly stopped, and Ruan Wu didn't dare to stay for a long time when he saw this, turned around and came to the wall, climbed the wall very slowly, and scratched down. As soon as he went out, Yang Chen's voice sounded from the side of the tree: "Erlang, you are in the courtyard, how can I hear the sound of conversation?" As he spoke, he turned out from behind the two of them hugging the thick trunk of the tree.
The house of the Yang family was built by their great-grandfather, who was a jinshi of the Hongzhi Dynasty and served as the prefect of a place, so he built a house in his hometown of Jiangling and purchased a lot of family property. It's a pity that none of the children and grandchildren have been lifted, and the huge family business has also withered, and in the end, the Yang brothers are left with only this house of more than half an acre and more than 20 acres of land, as well as the elm tree planted by the great-grandfather in front of them. Of course, with Yang Chen's current identity, it seems that soon the Yang family will be reinvigorated.
"Big brother, I'm just suffocating in the room, thinking that moving my muscles and bones will help my injuries heal, so I came to this yard to take a look." Yang Zhen stepped forward with a stick, and there was no excitement or panic on his face.
"You, even if you are injured, you refuse to rest. Even if you want to move your muscles and bones, you should ask someone to accompany you, otherwise if you fall, how can you survive. Even if I'm in Wenshu, you should ask Mo'er to wait by your side. Yang Chen complained, and seeing that his younger brother didn't explain his question, he didn't ask any more.
Yang Zhen should have been, and continued to walk around the courtyard with the support of his brother. He tried to put his injured foot on the ground, but every time the pain came up, making him unable to exert his strength, which made him a little frustrated, and he didn't know what was wrong with his body, and he never got better. With the chagrin came resentment towards the Yao family who hired him to hurt him.
However, because of his ignorance of them and his own situation, Yang Zhen didn't want to make any moves for a while. But then, he thought of something again, and said to his brother tentatively: "Big brother, you are very familiar with those gentry officials in Jiangling County, right?" ā
"It's all a little bit of contact, why did you become curious about these people?" Yang Chen agreed casually, and then asked suspiciously. As a county school student, he did have some intersections with these people in terms of county affairs. But he also knew that Yang Zhen had always only been working on the streets, and most of his contacts were peddlers and pawns, so why did he mention the gentry this time?
Yang Zhen didn't answer immediately, but continued to ask, "Are you familiar with Yao Juren?" ā
"Yao Juren ......" Hearing his brother mention this person, Yang Chen's face suddenly froze, but he quickly recovered and smiled reluctantly: "This person really doesn't have any merit and fame, and he really can't be considered a gentry." I don't have much to do with him. ā
Although he was very quick to cover up, he was still seen through by Yang Zhen at a glance, which made him even more suspicious, so he continued tentatively: "As far as I know, the Yao family has two sons studying in the county school, and the eldest brother will not say that he is not familiar with them. ā
"I'm just classmates with them, and I'm really not friends, so it's really hard to say anything." Yang Chen said evasively, and then left under the pretext of going to see how Mo'er was getting food and soup in the kitchen. However, all this fell in Yang Zhen's eyes, but it was even more suspicious.
"I only planned to find out the truth of the Yao family from the eldest brother, so as to make a plan for the future. But today, it seems that there is something to do with the eldest brother and the Yao family that I don't know. Yang Zhen watched his brother leave, turning his thoughts in his heart, looking thoughtful.
Although he had doubts, since Yang Chen didn't want to say more, Yang Zhen, as a brother, was not easy to ask, so in the next few days, everything was as usual between the two brothers, and it was no different from before. Two days later, while Yang Chen was still in Wenshu, Ruan Wu came over the wall again, and this time he brought more definite news.
Wang San asked his cousin Zhao Qiao to secretly ask the prisoner, and he said that the Yao family gave them five taels of broken silver that day, telling them to break your leg - this is to break your Yang Er's leg by name - but he stressed that you should not harm your life. As for why, they just collect money to do things, so it is not known. Speaking of this, Ruan Wu's face was also full of surprise.
At this time, Yang Zhen was not as angry as he was when he first heard the news, he just nodded and said: "It seems that everything is instructed by the Yao family, it can't be wrong, and there must be something strange here." As for what it is, when the wound on my foot is healed, I will find out! ā
