Chapter 21: Arrest

Qian Liangdong smiled and said, "We're all fine, thank you Brother Lin for your concern." I don't know Brother Lin, have you heard of those few sentences that are circulating in the streets and alleys? ”

When Lin Xianchang heard this, he lowered his voice and said, "I naturally heard about it. Now various local governments are investigating the matter. Brother Qian, let's sit down and talk. I can recite those few sentences smoothly. 'The mountains are green, and there are tigers. The water is deep, and there are old dragons. Tiger companion Long Changlong. Suddenly, a landslide, a water escape, a tiger avoids, and a dragon hides. The real dragon is not there, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and the demon is in charge. ’”

In the study, there are two official hat chairs against the wall, and in the middle of the chairs is a coffee table with two cups of tea brewed.

While talking, the two sat down separately in the officer's hat chair.

Qian Liangdong picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's these words." It's just that these words don't come from nowhere, and I think it's very strange. ”

Lin Xianchang said: "This is indeed a bit weird. These words came out of thin air overnight, first in the streets and alleys of Anping, and then slowly spread throughout Dacheng. Brother Qian, now the new emperor has ascended the throne. We can talk about these things in private, and you must not discuss them outside. Also, you have to tell Brother Xu that he must not go out and talk nonsense. ”

Qian Liangdong said: "Brother Lin don't worry. We are all people who plan to retire in Qianjiazhuang in peace. It's just that besides us, who else is secretly working against that demon girl? ”

Lin Xianchang said: "She charmed that General Huo Xiang to kill so many people. In this Dacheng country, there are enemies everywhere, and it is really normal for someone to fight against her. Don't talk about it outside. Now, anyone who finds someone talking about it will be arrested first, and directly escorted to the Anping trial court for trial. The suspect can only be released when the suspicion of the suspect is completely ruled out. Think about it for yourself, once you enter the trial court, can you still get out well? Even if it can come out, I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Qian Liangdong said: "I know, I will let them shut up when I go back." I didn't expect that a few words could make that demon girl unable to sit still. But her enemies were almost killed by her. So I wondered, who else but us was hiding in the shadows? ”

Lin Xianchang's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Brother Qian, you and I have been friends for many years. At that time, the two of us were admitted to the lifting of people at the same time, but you stopped at lifting people back then and simply returned to your hometown. But I'm still in this court. I was coaxed and deceived by you into the 'thief' ship, and at the risk of being beheaded all over the house, I took that Brother Xu and his granddaughter into the jurisdiction of the Fuliang Prefecture Mansion. Don't cause me any trouble! Look at my family, there are dozens of people! You need to be at peace! ”

Qian Liangdong hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, please put a hundred hearts!" We are absolutely honest! ”

Lin Xianchang saw that Qian Liangdong looked categorical, so he was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief.

He said, "Well, it's too peaceful now. You are in Qianjiazhuang and guarding such a big property. This little day is just as comfortable. ”

Is it really too peaceful now?

Qian Liangdong glanced at him and only said, "That's that." ”

Lin Xianchang said: "Since Brother Qian is here, let's stay and eat." ”

Qian Liangdong said: "Brother Lin, you and I don't have to be so polite. I just happened to be here to do some business, so I stopped by to see you. I have something at home, and I have to rush back. By the way, a few days ago, I saw your Lingfeng doing well in the 'Yilin Porcelain Workshop'. His porcelain is now to be offered to Anping's palace as a tribute. ”

As soon as Lin Xianchang heard about his son, a bad mood suddenly came up.

He said, "If you don't say I've forgotten about it." How good can porcelain be? What's the use of not reading well? There is no serious one in the day, forget it, forget it! It's okay not to mention this unfilial son. ”

Qian Liangdong said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be angry." Since you mentioned reading, I have an idea. From the beginning of spring next year, my two children and Brother Xu's granddaughter will go to school in the town together. Taught by Mr. Qingfang. At that time, you can let Lingfeng come to school together. I think this Lingfeng school has become a big problem for you. ”

Lin Xianchang said helplessly: "This kid has to be willing to go." ”

Qian Liangdong said: "I have a way to do this. You don't know, do you? The 'unfilial son' in your mouth and our Xu brother's granddaughter Ah Liang became friends by chance. I heard Wen Kai say that the two of them talked very speculatively. I thought that she might be able to persuade Ling Feng to succeed. ”

Lin Xian was surprised: "Isn't Brother Xu's granddaughter a stupid girl?" ”

Qian Liangdong smiled and said, "It's okay now." That girl wasn't stupid at all. ”

Lin Xian didn't have to be surprised first, and he began to thank him repeatedly.

He said: "Brother Qian, if Miss Xu can persuade me, an unfilial son, to go to school." That's really a great kindness to our Lin family! ”

Qian Liangdong said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you just wait to owe this great favor." ”

After Qian Liangdong said goodbye to Lin Xianchang, he got into the carriage and rushed to Qianjiazhuang.

Ah Hu rode a tall horse and followed the carriage.

It's getting colder.

The cold wind on the road began to bite.

Through the window of the carriage, he noticed that there were more soldiers patrolling the road than before.

He didn't look out the window again, but leaned back against the cushions of the carriage and closed his eyes.

The carriage came to a halt after moving steadily and unhurriedly for some distance.

Qian Liangdong opened his eyes and asked through the carriage, "Why did you stop suddenly?" ”

Ah Hu replied: "Master, there are officers and soldiers arresting people ahead. ”

Qian Liangdong hurriedly stepped forward, opened the carriage door, and looked ahead.

I saw a group of soldiers escorting two men out of a restaurant on the side of the street.

Closer to the carriage, a few people watching the excitement were talking in a low voice.

"I heard that someone has been writing those few sentences lately."

"I don't understand the meaning of those few words. It's a crime to make up those few sentences? ”

"Why don't you hurry up and silence it! You want to be caught, too! Don't you know? This is actually ......."

"Ahh How do you know? ”

"I went to the teahouse a few days ago and heard those people who often go to drink tea talking. Speaking of which, I didn't seem to see those people when I went to the teahouse yesterday. ”

The few people who were talking suddenly fell silent, and only looked silently ahead.

The group of soldiers was coming this way.

Everyone is busy making a way.

The coachman hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the street.

Qian Liangdong got back into the carriage and sat down, and said in his heart: Hmph, this demon girl had better keep making waves like this.

Soon the soldiers escorted the "suspect" away.

Order has returned to the streets.

The carriage continued on its way.

……

Early morning.

The warm winter sun slowly rose and shone into the Qianjiazhuang.

In the small courtyard of the Xu family.

Xu Yikao had already gone to the teahouse at the entrance of the village early to start work.

Hu Jingtong finally decided to live a life of small wealth and peace.

After all, her life is more important.

She thought that she was going to school in the town at the beginning of spring, so she could go to do some business and make some money by the way.

Therefore, she planned to go to the town to have a good inspection and prepare for business in advance.

Thinking of this, she thought of Qian Wenkai again.

After all, he is a car owner and it is convenient to travel.

Hu Jingtong hurriedly changed into beautiful clothes and went out.

She closed the courtyard door and saw Erya.

I saw Erya wearing a gray jacket skirt, and she was jumping on the bluestone road with words in her mouth.

"The mountains are green, and the water is deep...... The dragon ran away...... Youkai are coming! ”

Erya was thinking happily, and as soon as she looked up and saw Hu Jingtong, she ran over quickly.

"Ah Liang!" Er Ya said with a grin.

"You're looking for me? Are you just here? Hu Jingtong said with a smile, "What did you just read?" Is that a nursery rhyme? ”

"Well, I'm here, I'm looking for you. I don't know what I was reading, but I went to town with my dad yesterday and heard the kids on the street reading it, and I thought it was fun. By the way, Daddy bought me two packs of shortbread, and I kept one for you to try. Erya carefully took out a paper bag with shortbread from her arms and stuffed it into Hu Jingtong's hand.

Hu Jingtong was a little surprised, a little ashamed and very moved.

She almost forgot about Erya.

After all, she is not Xu Qiuliang.

Although Erya is innocent and cute, she and Erya really don't have any deep friendship.

Hu Jingtong took Erya's shortbread and said with a smile: "Erya, thank you." Why don't you come to my house for dinner in the evening? I'm going to go to the Qian Mansion to find Mr. Qian some things at this time. ”

Erya slapped happily and said, "Okay, good!" Then I'll go and talk to A-Niang. ”

Hu Jingtong said "um" and said with a smile: "Go!" Don't forget to come over for dinner. ”

When Erya's figure walked away, Hu Jingtong walked to the Qian Mansion.

When she arrived at the gate of Qian's house, she met Qian Wenkai and accompanied Qin Hualan and Qian Rongrong out of the gate.

They were getting ready to get into the carriage.

Qian Rongrong saw that it was Hu Jingtong, so she rolled her eyes at her, and got into the carriage first in three steps and two steps.

Hu Jingtong smiled helplessly, and she bowed her head to Qin Hualan.

Qin Hualan nodded to Hu Jingtong, shook her head helplessly at the carriage, and then slowly stepped into the carriage with the support of Yahuan.

When Qian Wenkai saw Hu Jingtong, he walked over quickly and said, "Sister Xu, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Well, Mr. Qian, I want to ask when you will go to the town when you are free." ”

Qian Wenkai was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said, "Hmm...... Today, I am going to go to the temple with my mother and sister to burn incense and pray for blessings. I'm afraid we won't be back until tomorrow, so let's make an appointment until the day after tomorrow. ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Okay. ”

After making an appointment with Qian Wenkai to go to the town, Hu Jingtong hurried home.

When she got home, she went to the kitchen and started cooking on the fire.

In the evening, Xu Yikao came back from work.

At this time, Hu Jingtong had already cooked the food well.

"Grandpa, Erya is coming over for dinner today, let's wait for her." Hu Jingtong said.

"Well, good. That girl hasn't been looking for you in a long time. Xu Yikao said.

It was getting late, and the food on the table was cold.

Hu Jingtong didn't wait for Erya, but waited for Erya's mother Xiangqing.

Xiangqing knocked on the courtyard door and said, "Miss Xu, have you finished eating?" It's getting late, and it's time for her to go home. ”
