Chapter 95: A shy smile

Xiao Jiading thought for a while and said, "What do you think, who should have done this?" ”

"Jiang Yang Flower Picking Thief!" Huiyi said categorically, "We heard about it when we went down the mountain before, and there was a case in Meizhou City, which was similar to ours, and it was also rape and murder, and the neck was broken." The method is the same as killing Uncle Zhixiang. We used to explore the rivers and lakes, trying to find clues, but no, several famous flower thieves on the road are in other places. We don't know what to do, we can only rely on your government. ”

"Is this Uncle Zhixiang's martial arts very high?"

"Of course! She is a close disciple of my ancestor, although she is in the beginning period, but her martial arts have been passed on by her ancestor. Of course, her foundational martial arts were taught by my master. It is precisely because of this that we often practiced together when we were two children, so after I learned that she was killed, I cried for many days, and I followed around looking for the flower thief, but I didn't find any clues. ”

"Of course it's useless for you to look like this. Last time you told me to let me go to the mountain to help your master win the head, I was thinking about how to find a reason to go with you smoothly, now I don't need to find a reason, even if there is no invitation from you, I have to go up to Emei Mountain. However, tomorrow we will investigate another case, which is the same case as the rape and murder of Master Chika, and we suspect that the same person did it. ”

"It's the flower thief again!"

"Well," Xiao Jiading said, "I have to investigate this case tomorrow, and it may take a day to delay, and there are still two places to go." Such. You go back directly, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Meizhou to investigate the case, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Mount Emei to investigate the rape and murder case. So I was right to go up the mountain. At the same time as investigating the case, you will also be able to handle your affairs. How is it? ”

"Good! Then I will wait for you at the Mid-Levels Welcome Pavilion the day after tomorrow. ”

"No, you just have to wait at the temple at the top of the mountain. lest others be suspicious. ”

"That's right, then I'll tell the master, let's talk about it in private in the temple."

"Hmm!" After talking about this matter, Xiao Jiading sounded another thing, and said, "You Emei faction have a lot of lay disciples in Yizhou City, right?" ”

"yes!"

"Can you find me a caretaker? My current residence is full of women, and I don't know martial arts. I'm not at home with you. If a bad guy makes an idea, it's going to be a problem. ”

"Okay!" Huiyi thought for a while, "There is an old couple among the lay disciples, and the man's name is Lao Huotou. The woman's name is Aunt Yuan. The two worked together as dart masters when they were young. When he was old, he worked as a nursing home for a large family in Yizhou, and the son of the big family took him to another state a few days ago. They didn't have anything to do. Just in time for you. They are very good people, and they have real kung fu under their hands. Ordinary martial artists are not opponents. He also has experience in rivers and lakes. Deal with thieves with ease. ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and said: "The person you fancy must not be wrong." Well, then you can go and talk to them now, and if they agree, bring them in. Xiao Jiading said where he lived again.

While eating and chatting, when she was about to finish eating, Huiyi asked a little shyly: "How are you practicing the internal strength and mental method ...... I gave you?" ”

Xiao Jiading didn't understand why Huiyi was talking about this topic, his face was shy, he was so busy these days, where did he have time to practice martial arts, so he said vaguely: "It's okay." "I thought to myself, I should find a time to see if I could cope with the errand.

Hearing him say this, Huiyi was even more shy, and said in a low voice: "Is there anything you don't understand?" ”

"Well...... it's okay." Xiao Jiading still said the same thing.

Huiyi glanced at him in some surprise, and stopped talking.

After eating, Huiyi said goodbye and left.

Xiao Jiading returned to the house of Crazy Mei, and as soon as he arrived at the door, someone called him, and when he looked back, it was Lu Desheng, the township leader of Huayuan Township, and Xie Cunzheng from Lianghe Village. Xiao Jiading gave a salute: "Why are you here?" ”

"We're waiting for big brother." The two laughed and laughed, and Xie Cun said: "We have bought the stone mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the Jinjiang River, we went to the Yamen Yamen to find you, but the porter said that you don't live in the Yamen, and told us where you lived, we came, and it was Yunyan who came to open the door, and she said that you have not come back yet, so we waited across the street, and finally waited for you to come back." Hey hey"

"Come in and sit!" Xiao Jiading led the two of them into the room and sat down in the main hall to talk.

Xie Cun said: "These stone mountains and barren slopes were bought in the name of a distant relative of mine, who happened to come to our Yizhou to buy goods, and soon he will go back to Jiangnan." Buy it in his name and sell it exclusively to you, so that even if there is any problem in the future, they will not be able to find you, big brother. In the future, if you carve a stone Buddha or something, you can still use the name of my distant relative, so as to avoid trouble. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded secretly, thinking that this Xie Cunzheng is really scheming, as long as the Jinjiang flood control embankment is launched, the stone mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the river are the necessary materials for construction, and they will be valuable at that time. Then you won't find your own.

Xie Cunzheng and Lu Xiangzheng took out a stack of land deeds, as well as the signed sales contract, and in addition, there was a sales contract that had been filled out, which belonged to Xie Cunzheng's distant relative. has already signed, just waiting for Xiao Jiading to sign, and it will take effect.

Xiao Jiading praised them a few words, wrote his name with a pen, and asked Nenzhu to inform Niangmei, take the money to buy the stone mountain and barren slope, and pay the two. Last time, Zhu Haiyin helped him pre-collect the deposit offset by the one-year rent of the shop on the street, which was enough to pay for the purchase of barren mountains and stone mountains.

The money deed is clear, and Lu Xiang is right: "Tomorrow, big brother will go to the field to take a look?" ”

Because the distance is a bit far, I have to investigate the case tomorrow, and I don't have time to go, so I said, "I'll send my account room." ”

"Okay, we'll pick you up early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jiading said again: "Xie Cunzheng, ah no, I should call you Xie Cunzheng." -- The county decree has decided that you will take over as the head of Wutai Township, and let me inform you that the official letter of appointment has been drafted and will be issued in the near future. ”

Xie Cunzheng didn't expect things to be done so quickly, he was really overjoyed, and quickly got up and arched to the ground: "Thank you, big brother, for your support!" ”

"My own brother, it's easy to say! Sit down and talk! Xiao Jiading smiled.

Waiting for Xie Long to sit down, Xiao Jiading said again: "If you are promoted to the head of the township, the position of the head of the village will be vacant, and the Kang County Order will let me tell you that you will select a replacement and report it to the yamen." This location is very important, you have to find a good candidate! ”

Xie Cunzheng was even more pleasantly surprised, which was equivalent to giving him a big favor, and he quickly thanked him repeatedly. I secretly made up my mind that in the future, I would take care of this deacon and do my best to do his best. With his big umbrella, this life is better.

After a conversation, the two of them said goodbye and left.

Earlier, Xiao Jiading wanted to give them money, but Crazy Mei didn't speak, and when they left, Crazy Mei said: "Xiao Lang, what are you doing buying so many stone mountains and barren slopes?" ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and said: "Buying a stone mountain, of course, is quarrying, barren slopes, planting trees." ”

"Oh!" Crazy Mei knows very well that women shouldn't ask more things, so don't open your mouth. Although he felt that she didn't believe Xiao Jiading's statement.

Xiao Jiading said: "I asked someone to find a nursing home, it is an old couple, who have walked through the dart to serve as a nursing home for a large family before. It was introduced by an acquaintance, and he served as a concierge and a nursing home for us, so that a few of you beauties are here, so I don't have to worry. ”

Crazy Mei said: "Okay, there is no man in the family, if something happens, it is really worrying, so this arrangement is the best." ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Tomorrow morning, you and Yunxia will go to see the stone mountain and the barren slope, and take them with you as guards, and the same will be true for collecting accounts in the future, I will explain these to them." ”

Crazy Mei agreed. Xiao Jiading had already eaten dinner, and they were waiting for him, but since he had eaten, they would eat it themselves.

After eating, Xiao Jiading chatted with Su Yunxia and Miaomei in the living room. Xiao Jiading had a whim and said, "It would be nice if there was a mahjong hand, we can play mahjong." ”

Mahjong has appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not the current one, there are only thirty-two cards in total, more like Pai Gow. There is no such title as mahjong, so the second daughter naturally didn't understand and looked at him.

Xiao Jiading rolled his eyes and said, "Go get a few dominoes!" I'm going to give it a makeover. ”

Dominoes are made of cow bones, which are thinner than mahjong, but can also stand. It can be substituted for the time being. It's just that there is only one domino at home, which is mainly used when drinking. If you want to pay a few times, you can only buy it.

Without waiting for Xiao Jiading's instructions, Crazy Mei hurriedly asked the maid Xiaomei to buy a few more and pay it back.

In this time, Xiao Jiading asked Yun Yan to cut out pieces of small pieces of paper according to the size of the dominoes, and asked Nenzhu to bring paper and pen to study ink and draw mahjong himself. Tubes, strips, 10,000 characters, and the southeast and northwest winds. Fortune, tabula rasa, or something. When the painting was finished, the maid Xiaomei had already bought a few dominoes back. Under the command of Xiao Jiading, several girls worked together to paste the pieces of paper that Xiao Jiading had drawn on the dominoes.

After tidying up, Xiao Jiading began to teach the basic methods of playing mahjong. What he taught was the playing style of Sichuan mahjong, mahjong is easy to learn and difficult to master, so it didn't take long, all the women will be, and they began to fight, familiar while playing, and after a few laps, they have become more proficient. So, Xiao Jiading took the usual money and distributed it to several girls as gambling funds and began to officially play cards. After playing for an hour, Xiao Jiading deliberately released water to let them win, but as a result, the crazy Mei, Su Yunxia and Yun Yan who were on the table all won, and only Xiao Jiading lost alone, and several women were more interested in this moment.
