Chapter Eighty-Four: Tied Up
After a while, Jiang Long slowly opened his eyes and shook his head gently at the mulberry spider.
King Huai is the son of the current emperor, with a noble status, if he is suddenly assassinated, the emperor will definitely be furious, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must find out the murderer.
Sang Zhu said that he was confident and had some means, but Jiang Long had only been with her for a few days, and he didn't have absolute confidence in her.
I am worried that if Sang Spider accidentally leaves some clues during his actions, then the entire Jingfu will be buried by King Huai.
Moreover, he had a conflict with King Huai today, and then King Huai was assassinated, and then the emperor would definitely suspect him.
If the emperor really tracks down on himself, everyone in the mansion will be interrogated, and Sang Zhu wants to do it, so she must not be in the mansion during the time when King Huai was killed, and then the uncertainty alone will be suspicious enough.
Hearing this, Sang Spider clenched his little fists and lowered his head silently, looking depressed.
At this moment, Jiang Long suddenly spoke: "Brother Hou Jiang." ”
Hou Jiang had been following outside the carriage, and immediately opened his mouth to respond: "If there is anything wrong with the virtuous brother, just give orders." ”
Because Gangtibak, Tudu, and Qin Yu and others were guarding the carriage, Jiang Long was not afraid of being listened to by others.
"The younger brother hopes that Brother Hou Jiang will go to the vicinity of King Huai's Mansion to find out if there are any relatives in the family of Yahuan who was killed by King Huai before."
Hou Jiang's small eyes lit up slightly, "Brother Xian's meaning has already been understood, give Brother a few days, and you must find out." ”
Although he is not as heroic as Fan Ren, he has also made a name for being chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he is as resentful as King Huai, who kills people at every turn.
"It is said that King Huai is brutal by nature, and he has to kill several people in the palace every day, and there should be many people who want to hate him to the bone, and Brother Hou Jiang can also inquire around. And even if he is a prince and a nobleman, some servants whose only relatives died in his hands dare to risk their lives to assassinate them as long as they have the opportunity. ”
"Hmm."
"Brother Hou Jiang, be careful about your whereabouts and ask slowly, let's not worry, don't show your abnormality and be targeted by the people in the palace."
"Don't worry, brother, I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and it is by relying on prudence that I have survived until now."
After that, Hou Jiang shook the reins of the horse, rode the high-headed horse given to him by Chai Shirong, braved the drizzle, and went straight to the direction of the capital.
Sangzhu, Gangtibak, Tudu, as well as the jade hairpin and treasure bottle sitting in the carriage are not stupid.
After a while, they all figured out Jiang Long's plan one after another.
Mulberry didn't ask to do it again, and dodged out of the carriage.
The convoy moved slowly, the light rain in the sky gradually increased, wetting the ground, and at the rear of the convoy, several deep wheel marks appeared, and half an hour later the convoy came to the farm again.
Steward Hu asked people to squat at the entrance of the farm, and when he got the news, he immediately brought a group of people to the front of the village to greet him.
Jiang Long didn't even get out of the carriage, and went straight to let the convoy move forward.
The convoy stopped at the door of the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Jiang Long jumped out of the car and showed his face, Hu Steward wanted to come forward to serve, but was stopped by Tudu and others, and waited for Lin Ya to hold Du Juan's arm step by step from behind, Jiang Long walked through the courtyard side by side, and there was a girl ring with an umbrella along the way, covering the drizzle, and walked into the main hall of the main courtyard.
The mother-in-law moved the items on the carriage to the small courtyard, and a gray-haired mother-in-law glanced at the back of Lin Ya, who was walking with Jiang Long.
The house in the farm was built as a courtyard for the owner of the Jing Mansion.
for the master to come and rest thereafter.
The area is quite large, with a total of one main courtyard and three small courtyards.
Because someone cleans and takes care of it carefully on weekdays, even if no one lives in it for a long time, the courtyard is still brand new, and there is not the slightest rotten and musty smell in the air.
Moreover, a group of maid rings that had arrived earlier had already lit incense in various rooms.
The master of the Jing family has to pay attention to the scene when he goes out, if the courtyard is too small, the servants who come with him will have no place to rest.
But even so, because there were too many guards who came with this time, it was still a little crowded.
Steward Hu couldn't get in front of Jiang Long, he was a little anxious, and he didn't know if the chicken and sheep sent to the young master could eat happily?
can only direct the people on the farm to help the mother-in-law carry the goods in the courtyard.
But I didn't know that the door of the backyard had already been opened, and Yang Haibo and Li Liang walked in with Yang Juhua's mother and daughter and Tian Dazhuang's family.
Jiang Long and Lin Ya were sitting in the main hall drinking tea, and they heard the treasure bottle say that Yang Haibo and Li Liang asked to meet.
"Let them in." Jiang Long put down the teacup in his hand.
Lin Ya showed a hint of hesitation on her face, "Xianggong." "Today, Jiang Long treats Lin Ya very intimately and gently, so although Lin Ya is shy, she still affectionately calls Jiang Long Xianggong.
"Sit and listen."
Jiang Long instantly understood why Lin Ya wanted to stop talking, and waved his hand.
"Hmm." Lin Ya lowered her head and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
Du Juan, who was standing behind Lin Ya, glared at Lin Ya hatefully, and there was a flame of jealousy in her eyes.
If Du Juan only had a good impression of Jiang Long and wanted to get close to him before today, then after Xinglin and her party, she already admired and admired Jiang Long.
A heart seems to want to be tied to Jiang Long's body.
Falling flowers are independent, and micro swifts are flying!
The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and the face of the mirror is a tree!
What beautiful verses, Du Juan's heart is intoxicated.
The only annoying thing is that the figure that is independent of the flower rain is not her.
If he could achieve a pair of double Feiyan with Jiang Long, how good it would be.
While Du Juan was thinking, Yang Haibo and Li Liang stepped over the threshold one after the other and knelt on one knee, "I've seen the little master." ”
"Get up." Jiang Long stretched out his hand to help, "Let you make progress in the matter of investigation?" ”
"Back to the little young master, because of the help of Tian Dazhuang, the little ones have investigated the evidence that most of Hu Zhuangtou bullied tenant farmers, embezzled farm income, and made false accounts to falsely report the number of good fields, secondary fields and sand fields." Yang Haibo said with some excitement.
As soon as he thought of the previous picture of Yang Juhua's mother and daughter being bullied, he hated Hu Guan and hated itchy.
There is also the fat son of the butler, although he is still young, but it is not a good thing.
"Tian Dazhuang?" Jiang Long's face was puzzled.
Li Liang immediately said: "Tian Dazhuang is a tenant farmer in the farm, not only can farm, but also is very good at raising sheep and cattle. ”
Jiang Long's eyes lit up slightly, and he had a trace of interest in this person.
Mrs. Jing asked him to take over the farm, he naturally would not just check the accounts and walk in the fields, and then catch the moths that embezzled the money and grain in the house, so that the income of the farm was not worse than before, and he was satisfied, and wanted to show his ability, so as to get the recognition of Mrs. Jing, and then control the power of the Jingfu step by step, the only way is to make the income of the farm increase greatly!
And if you want to make a big difference in the farm, you can't do it without the assistance of tenant farmers who are familiar with the farmland, good at breeding, and have smart brains.
Touching his chin with his hand, Jiang Long thought for a while and said, "Let Tian Dazhuang come in." ”
The vase walked to the door of the main hall and spoke.
After a while, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man walked into the main hall with a nervous expression, and as soon as his hind feet crossed the threshold, his knees fell to the ground with a soft plop, his head touched the ground, and he kowtowed: "Little Tian Dazhuang, please say hello to the little young master." ”
Tian Dazhuang helped Yang Haibo and Li Liang investigate the affairs of Hu Guan this time, and there was no way out.
He doesn't know the severity of things like his wife, who is very soft-hearted when she looks spicy on the outside, and always fights over small things like a child, and she doesn't know that the result will be serious after a battle with a steward is divided.
If they win, Steward Hu's family will naturally be unlucky.
But if you lose...... He didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
So he can't help but be nervous at the moment!
Jiang Long's eyes moved to Tian Dazhuang, and he saw that Tian Dazhuang's face was dark and his limbs were thick, unlike most of the tenant farmers in the farm, he was actually wearing cotton clothes.
When he first went to the farm, he saw that most of the tenant farmers were dressed in burlap clothes.
Even the steward in order to pretend to be poor was wearing clothes sewn from burlap with patches.
Under normal circumstances, most people with a little ability will have a little temper, Jiang Long wanted to use this person, and originally wanted to knock Tian Dazhuang first, but seeing Tian Dazhuang's nervous face facing the ground at this time, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't even dare to gasp, so he dispelled this idea.
It seems that this person is not very courageous, and he is an honest person.
Jiang Long was even more satisfied in his heart, so he raised his hand and helped him, "Get up and talk back." ”
"Yes, Little Master Xie." Tian Dazhuang slowly stood up.
As Tian Dazhuang stood up, everyone in the hall realized that he had kowtowed too hard before, and as a result, there was already an extra bruise on his forehead.
"I heard Li Liang say that you not only grow crops very well, but also raise cattle and sheep?" Jiang Long asked with interest.
"Yes." Tian Dazhuang replied honestly: "The little one didn't know how to do it, but once the family didn't have food and went to the town to buy some rice grain, but when I saw a hungry and dying white-haired old man on the street, I couldn't bear it, so I bought him a few black-faced steamed buns."
When the old man was full, he had some energy, and he said that he would repay the little one.
The little one didn't ask for anything in return, but the old man followed the little one back home. ”
At first, the little one thought that the white-haired old man wanted to eat and drink in the small house, and the villain's wife also thought the same, but he didn't expect that he really had the ability, and after seriously teaching the little one how to raise cattle and sheep, he seemed to have something in his heart, and he was unhappy, and died of illness within a few months.
Zuihou is still a small one to give him the end. ”
Straight, very honest, affectionate and righteous.
It's also quite kind.
After listening to this, Jiang Long defined Tian Dazhuang, "Seeing that you are wearing cotton clothes, I think the conditions at home should be good, right?" ”
"Thanks to the elder who taught the little ones to raise sheep and cattle." Tian Dazhuang's voice was full of gratitude.
"That's also because you did a good deed and saved the old man's life."
After sitting and chatting with Tian Dazhuang for a few more words, Jiang Long began to talk about business.
Because he knew the seriousness of the matter, Tian Dazhuang did not hide it, and told all the things he knew that were not conducive to Hu Guan's affairs.
At this time, it can be said that either you die or I die!
Don't try to leave room for it.
Jiang Long listened and drank tea, with a plan in his heart, but his face did not change.
But the other people in the hall were already angry, and their faces turned red.
"Little master!"
The vase was the most breathless, and stamped his feet hatefully: "How can you still sit still?" The maid said that the steward should be called over immediately. ”
"What about after you call it?" Jiang Long put down the teacup and asked lightly.
"Naturally, I beat him hard!" The vase shouted.
Tian Dazhuang was shocked in his heart when he heard this, is it so simple as beating up the Hu manager?
Hu Guan has a backer, and he doesn't die if he fights a snake, and he is the one who is bitten by Zuihou.
A drop of fine sweat seeped out of Tian Dazhuang's brain.
Jiang Long saw that Tian Dazhuang frequently wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and secretly thought in his heart, this Tian Dazhuang was so thoughtful.
You know it's powerful!
With the ruthlessness of Hu Guan, if there is really a chance to turn over, he will definitely retaliate fiercely, and if he does not break up the wife of Tian Dazhuang's family and the family is ruined, I am afraid that he will not be willing to give up.
"Ya'er, what do you think?"
Jiang Long suddenly looked at Lin Ya and asked.
Lin Ya was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Jiang Long to ask her, and after thinking about it, she said softly: "Steward Hu dares to do anything wrong in the farm, it should be someone in the house who is sheltered, and it seems that the concubine should first inquire clearly, and then consider how to deal with Steward Hu." ”
In the past, Jing Jianglong didn't care about things, and there were some powerful people in the house who could cover Hu in charge, so they were naturally Mrs. Jing's henchmen.
Jiang Long immediately understood what Lin Ya meant.
Don't do it before you find out, otherwise you are afraid that you will offend Mrs. Jing's right-hand man.
That's a lot of kindness.
When Lin Ya lived in the Lin Mansion before, she was bullied by the people in the mansion a lot, and she knew that some powerful servants were a few points higher than the masters who were not valued by the family.
Tian Dazhuang's brain is very smart, but it's a pity that his family was poor and didn't go to school when he was young, otherwise he might be able to mix an official robe.
It is also to taste the meaning of Lin Ya's young lady's words, and her dark face is a little pale.
Even the young lady in the house has some scruples?
But Jiang Long suddenly got up at this moment.
The expression on his face was cold, and he ordered sharply, "Come on, tie up the Hu family, Li Wu, Zhao Sanshou and Min Pozi!" ”
