Chapter 159: Planting the First Ring
"Zhang Chengzuo, there is still nothing to discover?"
In the courtyard, half of which had been burned to the ground, there were still a few puddles of gray-brown stains on the ground, and a man in his thirties, dressed in a kudzu cloth short, squinted on the ground, as if he was examining the scene. Two people in cool hats and soap suits quickly entered the courtyard, and the man asked casually.
"I checked it again before entering the soil, but there was still nothing new."
A catcher responds quickly.
"Shang Bantou, don't worry about this case, the theft case of Master Hu in the city is even more important, and the board that Lord Wang has set up for you is only five days."
The other caught it quickly and persuaded him.
"It doesn't matter, just grab a loafer and go up to it when the time comes. You don't care about this case, Wu Xingshu said that he took care of me, and I have to give him an explanation. ”【1】
This man should be the head of the fast class in Panyu County, and he got up and sighed.
"The second elder of the Fan family was stoned to death, Fan Xiucai was injured by a bamboo pole, and the bandits only poisoned Wu Xingshu, and the other half of the house in the courtyard showed no signs of being turned over, and the more than ten taels of silver in the house were not moved, these bandits, look, they didn't come for the silver."
He was muttering to himself, and the two snappers looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
"Shang Bantou, you really don't believe those rumors?"
"Even if the rumors are false, this case is very deep, then Fan Xiucai has been bailed out today, I heard that the guarantor is still that Li ...... Li Beijiang. ”
Hearing the words of catching fast, Shang Bantou hummed disapprehantly, "Fan Xiucai escaped debts before, and he taught Mengxue in Yingde, Li Beijiang is his proprietor, and it would be strange not to protect him." But what difference does a madman make between inside and outside prison? ”
In Li Zhuang Pharmacy, looking at Fan Jin's situation, Li Xian hurriedly covered Guan Xuan's eyes and motioned for Yan Sanniang to take her out, but saw that Yan Sanniang was also wide-eyed, and her face turned pale.
Fan Xiucai ...... It's miserable......"
Yan Sanniang took Guan Xuan and muttered as she walked, and the other people who were kicked out by Li Yan also nodded again and again, feeling the same way.
At this time, Fan Jin not only looked like a madman, but also blind in one eye, and a deep scar ran from his forehead to his jaw, crushing his left eye. Seeing that Li Xi also felt a chill in his heart, he couldn't help touching the scar on his temple.
"Okay, there's no one left, speak, I know you're not crazy."
Li Xi said.
"For ...... Why ......"
Fan Jin on the bed was still shivering, although it was summer, he seemed to be standing naked in the cold wind of winter.
Seeing that in his remaining eye, the pupil light was floating, but he didn't dare to confront him, Li Xian pondered for a moment and called out the door.
"Sir!?"
After a while, Li Shi asked people to help Fan Jin out of the ward, and an exclamation suddenly sounded outside the door, it was Mengxue students, forty or fifty people, standing outside the ward, the small courtyard was full.
"Forgot the rules?"
Li Shi shouted in a deep voice, and these boys, ranging from six or seven years old to twelve or thirteen years old, hurriedly raised their heads and stood still, and then under the leadership of the older boys, they bowed deeply and respectfully, and a neat shout sounded.
"Sir—good!"
Fan Jin, who was still trembling, stiffened, and his one-eyed pupils finally settled, and tears came out of his eyes when he looked at this piece of students.
"Ah Lian...... So I ......"
Lying back on the bed again, Fan Jin finally opened his mouth, and Li Shi nodded, understanding what he meant. Fan Jin should have been coerced by the perpetrators, and if he dared to speak, he would kill his sister, so not only did he not dare to confide in Guan Xiaoyu, but he only expressed his bitterness to Li Xian, and he was unwilling to elaborate.
"So what do you think? I can help you as much as I can. ”
Li Shi's question made Fan Jin's one-eyed light rise.
"Find Ah Lian, and ...... Go to the capital! ”
He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with bitter hatred.
"Why, why would such a thing be tolerated! I'm going to ask for an understanding, I'm going to ...... Knock! ”
Li Shi looked at him for a while, and shook his head slightly helplessly and pityingly, what a fool, why did he think about this, did he want to get an answer from the emperor, or didn't he give up?
Fan Jin has not yet escaped from the previous false accusation case, and his own case is the only living mouth and witness, so he entered the Panyu County Prison. Seeing that he was honest, Li Xian, a celebrity, took action to protect him again, and Panyu Zhixian did not embarrass him anymore, not only hooked his false accusation case, but also left his talent and fame. But...... A one-eyed talent is impossible to take the road of fame again.
But even so, Fan Jin still did not lose confidence in this avenue, he could not get fame on this road, and he had to get justice.
"Your sister, I'll help find it, and I'll talk about it later."
Li Xianxin said, you are a living experiment, I want to see where you go before you really despair.
"Most of his sister has already suffered, even if she doesn't, it will involve Ye Yang and Guan Yuanzhong, you have to be careful."
When talking to Duan Hongshi about this plan, the old man reminded him.
"Guan Yuanzhong doesn't care for the time being, Ye Yang, I just want to involve him."
Li Xi sneered.
"With you...... Going to Guangzhou? ”
Hearing Li Shi's words, An Jiuxiu shuddered, not knowing if he was too excited, or if he was frightened by the coldness that was wandering on Li Shi's face.
"Well, don't you want to help manage Xiaoyu, that's what you went to Guangzhou for. However, I will explain in advance that it is very taboo to do what you want to do, and you must not spread it to others, including your family. ”
Li Xi said very seriously, An Jiuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.
"This is the fourth brother I begged for, even if there is any danger, I will bear it, even if it is ......"
"Even if something happens, I will never let you be implicated" These words swallowed in his stomach, afraid that Li Xi thought she was moving something, but what he got was that Li Xi smiled slightly, and he saw her thoughts.
"It seems that he is happy...... Don't hide your sincerity in front of him. ”
Looking at Li Xi's back, which was not a great shore, An Jiuxiu's heart fluttered slightly, and she began to feel that her fate seemed to be grasped.
An Jiuxiu's sincerity, Li Xian doesn't care about it at the moment, but Yan Sanniang's sincerity makes him have a headache.
"Pan Shiyu and Sister Jin Ling went back to Lianshan, although Yu Hanyi is careful, but his skills are very rotten, I don't feel at ease with him next to me, I want to go!"
Yan Sanniang said very seriously, and there was still something in her stomach, "What's even more worrying is that fox girl!" ”
Li Yan shook his head: "You are also gone, Guan Xuan is at home alone, how pitiful." Don't worry, be back soon. ”
Yan Sanniang was depressed, is this using herself as a nanny?
The other villain is also depressed, he is already twelve years old, thirteen years old!
"Does he treat you as a daughter or a daughter-in-law?"
Seeing Guan Xuan's puffing out pink cheeks and being indignant, Yan Sanniang's mood also improved a lot.
This little bit of caution is just a matter of anger, I heard Li Xi say that this trip was to help Fan Jin find his sister who was robbed, and the two girls, one big and one young, both had red circles under their eyes, encouraging Li Shi to do it.
Taking An Jiuxiu and Yu Hanyi, Li Xian took the fast sentry boat of his own ship, and entered his own village north of Xiguan in Guangzhou in less than two days, and then took An Jiuxiu to An Jinzhi's mansion without stopping.
"Good as flowing, well, promising!"
In the house, seeing his daughter obediently snuggling up to Li Xi, with a faint pleasure between his eyebrows, An Jinzhi was greatly relieved. Although Li Xi didn't say anything about An Jiuxiu's entry into the door, looking at this situation, it should be about the same.
Then Li Shi handed over something, which made An Jinzhi even more happy, this is a glass of glass, flat glass.
"Now the process has not been adjusted, the cost is too high, and it will be shipped when it is reduced to six cents of silver per foot."
Another major use of optical glass is glass doors and windows, and in the glass institute, Wu Chong has also been tackling key problems according to Li Shi's instructions. In this era, float technology is too unreliable, and many supporting technologies are not yet mature, and the calendering method is used. The cost of directly stirring the molten glass on the red-hot steel bed is a bit high, and the glass plate is not large enough, but it is enough to make home glass doors and windows.
"The future of this thing is limitless, it seems that we have to turn around from my foreign bank, so as not to be hot-eyed by the palace and pull us to Yanjing to circle us."
An Jinzhi was very aware of the market potential of this thing, and his fat face smiled even worse, and the second half of his sentence was exactly what Li Xi wanted. This thing is spreading in the market, and it is guaranteed to attract the attention of the court, and it will be troublesome to reach out to them when the time comes. But because An Jinzhi is still running a foreign company, he has done a little tricks in the accounts to turn this thing into a foreign product, but it is just a matter of effort.
Li Xi stayed at An's house to discuss the matter of Yuelitang and glass, An Jiuxiu went to the General's Mansion in Guangzhou, the two families are relatives, she and Guan Xiaoyu are best friends, it is not difficult to see Guan Xiaoyu who was grounded again, this stay is two days.
"Is that it? Xiaoyu said, don't talk about this, for Fan Jin, she even dared to steal her father's general seal. ”
When An Jiuxiu came back, he gave the two brands to Li Shi.
"This is it."
Li Shi picked up the sign, thinking that Guan Xiaoyu was also a lover, so it was okay, even if she knew that it was not good for her family, she didn't care.
In a wine shop outside the Ya of Panyu County, Shang Jun, the leader of the fast shift, was drinking and chatting with a young man.
"I don't have a clue, the rumors are getting denser and denser, I don't care much, I just want to give Wu Xingshu and his family an explanation, but it's a pity that ......"
"I think there are always clues, it should be that your on-site investigation is not detailed enough."
"Mrs. Liu, we are no better than Yingde, in that remote place outside the city, thieves and bandits flee everywhere, and there are all traces of people around, and there is no way to identify them."
"It's still too old for you to handle cases, I'll teach you, come, draw all the surrounding terrain......"
Liu Xingchun seemed to be half drunk and wanted to teach this class leader.
"Look, this big circle is within the range of the bandits who can reach the Fan family within half a day......"
Liu Xingchun muttered, marking the terrain drawn by Shang Bantou with horizontal and vertical lines, and then on a circle and a trap, a few points were marked, and Shang Bantou suddenly heard it.
"I have the bottom in my heart this time!"
Finally, Shang Bantou slapped the table and shouted excitedly.
Looking at his back in a hurry, Liu Xing said with a pure heart, this is not me fooling you, I am just a beginner in this set of arrest methods taught by the fourth brother. Entrusted by the fourth brother, he borrowed his identity as a patrol inspector of Yingde Xianggang to come to Panyu County to handle anti-bandit affairs, and planned to try to investigate and find the whereabouts of Fan Jin's sister, but you are so enthusiastic about the team, so you can do it. The fourth brother said that try not to show his traces, this is the best of both worlds.
Outside the courtyard of the Fan family, Shang Jun took a few officials and searched everywhere on the points marked on the map, constantly finding blood stains and footprints, and then picked up something from the grass with a quick sigh.
"What is this?"
The others gathered over, and then found some blood in the grass, as well as a hairpin with blood on it.
Sangjun rushed over and reached out to take the thing, looked at the sunlight, froze for a moment, and then his brain buzzed, and he almost fainted.
On the front is a few Chinese characters of "Guangzhou General's Mansion Ya Soldier Errand", and on the north side is Tadpole Manchu, the word is as it is, this is the waist card of the Guangzhou General's personal soldiers!
"We ...... Troubled ......"
Sangjun swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and only then did the surrounding catchers come to their senses, looking at each other with a pale face.
