Chapter 127: Covert Visits
Bruce Lee patted the table in front of him and said,
"The eldest young master, you guessed too accurately, the second grandmother said at the time, 'Hmph! How can there be such a thing! That bastard boy can't do anything all day long, let alone a child daughter-in-law, now he is in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a person who comes to his door to propose marriage! ”
Bruce Lee learned the way the second grandmother spoke, which was really vivid, which made the three brothers and sisters in the house laugh together. In the laughter, Zong Jiyuan also had a few words in his heart, knowing that what Zong Jicai said when he came to the Hu family was completely fabricated out of thin air, pure blackmail, and now he hurt people's lives, and it is indeed an unforgivable crime.
Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer, said goodbye to Baoyuan and Yuejiao, returned to the front yard with Bruce Lee, and saw his mother say hello again, and then hurriedly left home and rushed back to the county office, because there was still a place to visit and should be visited immediately.
When I came to the county office, I had just entered my room, and I saw a familiar figure sitting there, holding a book and looking at it with interest.
In fact, he had already thought that this guy would not be separated from him like this, and knew that he would definitely see him again, but seeing that he appeared in front of him without warning, Zong Jiyuan was still slightly taken aback, and chuckled and said,
"What's the matter, Brother Wang Yu, when you come to the younger brother, it shouldn't be another case, right?"
"How can there be so many cases for me to encounter,"
Wang Yu listened to her slightly mocking tone, but he didn't care at all, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile,
"If that's the case, I'm going to be unlucky."
"And what are you going to do again?"
Zong Jiyuan walked over, poured a cup of tea for him, and asked,
"At the end of the year, everyone is very busy, but you are very idle in the dart game?"
"Where else is there a dart game,"
Wang Yu smiled bitterly and said,
"Shunfeng Dart Bureau has been closed, Brother Li bought the property of the Dart Bureau, and dismissed the dart masters, and the husband and wife took Xiao Yue and Xiao Kun back to the ancestral house in Anping County to celebrate An's birthday. So, now I have nothing to do. ”
"If you have nothing to do, go find something to do, and run to our county office, what can you do."
Zong Jiyuan glanced at him and said lightly.
Wang Yu looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said,
"Ji Yuan, what do you think I can do? I can't do anything but fight, and I can't do it now...... Eh, why don't you do that, how about I make you a dart master? I don't want you to pay me, just give me three meals a day and a place to live, how about it, it's a good deal, right? ”
"Cut! What's the deal, I don't need any dart masters,"
Zong Jiyuan listened to it angrily and funny,
"Alright, alright, it's going to be lunch soon, I'll just allow you to mess around with me for the time being, and then I still have a case to investigate, and I don't have time to listen to you idle here."
"There's a case?! That's great, I'll go with you. ”
Hearing that there was a case to be handled, Wang Yu showed excitement on his face and said.
Zong Jiyuan looked at him helplessly, and after thinking about it, it's okay, anyway, looking at this guy's appearance, he can't drive away, so it's better to let him follow, so he glanced at him and said,
"If you want to go, you can do whatever you want, but don't make a name for me, be my bodyguard or something."
"Okay, as long as I can be with you, I can say anything."
Wang Yu was so happy that he almost jumped up from his chair and nodded his head again and again.
After telling the kitchen to bring two meals, the two men came out of the room together, said hello to the officer at the door, and each of them took his horse out of the city and came directly in the direction of the southwest.
"Ji Yuan, where are we going?"
As he walked, Wang Yubian asked curiously.
Zong Jiyuan snorted lightly and said,
"Go to a woman who has just become a widow and ask her how she died."
"Oh...... Widow ......"
Wang Yu's expression still looked a little incomprehensible, but he didn't continue to ask.
Before coming out of the yamen, Zong Jiyuan had already inquired about the location of Hujiadian in advance, so he didn't waste time and came along the road leading there.
As he was walking, he suddenly saw two people dressed as errands walking on a small road next to the road, and when they looked carefully, they were in the county office, Zong Jiyuan hurriedly reined in his mount, raised his hand and beckoned and asked,
"Brothers, where have you been?"
"Where else can I go?"
As soon as the two messengers saw that it was Zong Jiyuan, they trotted over and said,
"Didn't Third Brother Diao let us come out to find that full house, it's the second day, I haven't even seen a shadow, I asked the villagers, and I asked anyone and said I didn't see it, I was really anxious. Master, where have you been? Isn't it also ......?"
"Oh, no, the little brother came out for another case,"
Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, after such a long time, if the full house really eloped with someone, I am afraid that he would have run away a long time ago, brothers just ask, how can I find it, after thinking about it, I said,
"If you can't find it again, let's go back to the county government first, don't freeze on such a cold day, the two brothers."
"Thank you, master, let's take a look at the front, if there is really none, our brothers and sons will go back to the county office."
The two officers replied overjoyed, with the master's words, of course they had the backbone in their hearts.
Breaking up with the two of them, Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu continued to hurry. Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh,
"I didn't expect that in the past few days, you guys are still very busy at the yamen, no wonder when I went there today, I didn't see a few officials in the courtyard of the county yamen, it turned out that they all came out to find someone."
"Isn't it......"
While saying casually, Zong Jiyuan looked thoughtfully ahead......
When they came to Hujiadian as a child, it was already past noon, and probably people often came to inquire about the Hu family, so the two of them easily learned the location of Hu Zhenli's brother's house from the villagers.
Leading the horse into the village, and seeing the fairly good courtyard from a distance, Zong Jiyuan turned his head and glanced around again, and when his eyes fell on a small courtyard about a few hundred meters away, next to a vegetable patch, he smiled slightly, and came to the gate of the Hu family with Wang Yu.
"Is anyone home?"
Zong Jiyuan shouted as he knocked on the door.
After being silent for a while, Fang heard the sound of hesitant footsteps coming from the courtyard, and after a while, a woman's voice inside the gate asked,
"Excuse me, who is it? Is there something wrong? ”
"Is this the Hu family?"
Zong Jiyuan asked while listening carefully to the movement inside.
The woman inside said cautiously,
"This is indeed surnamed Hu, who are you? Are you here to buy eggs......
"We are friends of Brother Hu, let's buy some eggs, and by the way, we want to visit him."
Zong Jiyuan said as he glanced at Wang Yu.
