Chapter 42 Intelligence
Jiang Yu said angrily:
"I'm delusional!?
Then you don't look at yourself, I'll ask you a question, do you think you are worthy of Xiao Qi? You're a toad who wants to eat swan meat! ”
Jiang Xu's words deeply pierced Qian En's heart, making him very angry. Although he himself felt that he was not worthy of Xiao Qi, when these words came out of Jiang Xu's mouth, he still felt very uncomfortable, so he immediately retorted:
"It's as if you can be worthy of Xiao Qi, we are both the same, no one is better than the other! You're just the second young master of the Jiang family, what's so great about you? This is Guangxia, not Yangling! ”
The two big men are like this, you and I are like this, and they are red-faced and red-eared when they fight.
But they didn't know that Xiao Qi actually went out early this morning.
While the two of them were still here to continue this meaningless quarrel, Xiao Qi had already gone everywhere to collect news, she wanted to know where the snobbery of the "Dragon Gate" in Guangxia was relatively weak, so as to prepare in advance for the establishment of an organization in the future.
Qian En and Jiang Yu quarreled for a long time, and then the two broke up unhappily, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they couldn't lose no matter what! The other party must not be allowed to get Xiao Qi's heart. So since that day, Qian En and Jiang Yu have been competing with each other.
Xiao Qi also felt that their attitude towards themselves suddenly became a hundred times more enthusiastic!
As long as Qian En has time, he will give Xiao Qi some of his so-called "novelties", such as: talking parrots, big crickets, and so on.
However, in Xiao Qi's opinion, there is nothing new to speak of. Xiao Qi told Qian En every time that she shouldn't buy these things in the future, she didn't think these things were interesting at all, and Xiao Qi also hinted at him several times that he was not Xiao Qi's dish, but this Qian En just couldn't understand the words, and he still thought vigorously:
"It must be that the thing I gave this time is not new enough! Then I'll definitely find a rarer thing next time, and I'll definitely make Xiao Qi like it! ”
Some boys chase girls like this, giving girls what they like, he thinks that the girls will like what he likes, but he doesn't know that the more he is like this, the more disgusted people will be.
In contrast, Jiang Yu is much smarter, he knows that Xiao Qi is not an ordinary girl, he will not like these ordinary things, and he does not spend his time shopping for things, he is full of all kinds of flowers inside and outside Xiao Qi's yard.
A few months later, Xiao Qi's courtyard was full of colors, purple and red, and the beauty was indescribable. Biyue and Miao Zhu are also stained, and when they see such a beautiful willingness, their mood will change a lot every day.
Jiang Zhi is not like Qian En, who gives Xiao Qi any rhetoric at every turn, Jiang Zhi just does things in a down-to-earth manner, and embodies all his thoughts about Xiao Qi in action.
Jiang Yu is a scholar who is not good at verbal expression, although he does not have Qian En's rhetoric in his mouth, but he has always proved his heart for Xiao Qi with his actions.
Every time Xiao Qi encounters danger, Jiang Zhi will be the first to rush up to protect Xiao Qi regardless of his own life, and he is usually concerned about Xiao Qi, as long as he finds that Xiao Qi lacks anything and needs something, he will go back and prepare it, and then hand it over to Biyue or Miao Zhu.
Jiang Zhi is personable, gentle, gentle and considerate, and he can give up his name in order to protect Xiao Qi! How can such a man not make a woman happy?
Although Xiao Qi is thirty years old in his heart and has already lived twice, Jiang Yu is a little brother in his opinion. But in the long run, she did have some good feelings for Jiang Xu, which is why she would refuse Qian En mercilessly every time, but she was reluctant to hurt Jiang Xu.
But is Xiao Qi's relationship with Jiang Zhi friendship, family affection or love? She couldn't figure it out in her own mind.
So she simply continued to bury herself in her career, and put aside her children's private affairs first.
Xiao Qi still disguised herself as a man that day and came to the largest inn in Guangxia County, "Hongyun Inn", to inquire about the news.
"Hongyun Inn" is still as lively as usual, some people are arguing over trivial things, slapping the table and smashing glasses. Some of them were talking about something that seemed to be extremely important with a serious expression on their faces. There are also people who are staggered and laughing, like friends who have been reunited for a long time.
After Xiao Qi entered the door, he sat by the window on the right side of the inn as usual.
When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Qi open, he immediately ran over with smiling faces:
"Chen Gongzi, is it still the same today?"
"That's right! Buy wine and food for 100 yuan, and keep the rest of the 10 points for yourself to eat some wine. ”
After speaking, Xiao Qi put one hundred and ten cents on the table.
The shopkeeper happily took the money, secretly stuffed the ten cents into his cuffs, and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, the shopkeeper took a pot of bayberry wine, a plate of peanuts, and a few taels of beef, and gave it to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi asked casually:
"Little Er, what's new lately?"
"Don't hide it from Gongzi Chen, the Qian family a few days ago...
Speaking of this, Xiao Er stopped talking, looked around, and found that no one was looking this way, so he continued:
"A few days ago, the remnants of the Qian family were caught again, and they have been sent to Beijing to wait for the saint to deal with them."
"Oh? Are you talking about the Qian family who attempted to rebel in southern Hunan fifteen years ago and was beheaded all over the house? ”
"Exactly! Surrounded by mountains in southern Hunan, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is said that when General Lu rushed to the Qian family, he was stunned and did not find the three sons of the Qian family! The imperial court had no choice but to arrest the remaining people, claiming to the outside world that the Qian family had been beheaded. But a few days ago, it was said that the eldest son of the Qian family was taken by the Guangxia County Government and sent to Beijing! ”
"Fifteen years have passed, can the three sons of the Qian family still be recognized?"
"It is said that when the house was raided, the eldest son was twenty-five years old, the second son was eighteen years old, and the third son was only two or three years old. So the eldest son and the second son can still be recognized, but the third son is probably extremely difficult to identify. ”
"Well, too. Is there any news about 'Dragon Gate' recently? Xiao Qi's voice was a little loud, and the shopkeeper hurriedly motioned for Xiao Qi to be quiet.
It's a pity that Xiao Qi's words have been heard by the son behind her.
This son looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his temples are like knife cuts, whether he is dressed or his words and deeds, he reveals an extraordinary atmosphere of wealth.
The shopkeeper continued to whisper to Xiao Qi:
"Chen Gongzi, you have to be careful when you speak in the future, the entire Guangxia County is full of 'Longmen' people! If they hear it, they might get into trouble! ”
"You're right, it's true that I was careless, and I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Xiao Qi is polite and polite, and his polite attitude makes the shopkeeper feel very comfortable, so he also told Xiao Qi more.
"'Dragon Gate' is getting more and more rampant these days! Protection fees are being collected more and more, and the people dare not speak out! Even those who grow crops in the village have to receive a share of the money! You say that those farmers can earn a lot of money all year round!
There is a family of five farmers in Shuangyang Village who is unwilling to pay this money, and in order to make an example, 'Longmen' secretly set the family's house on fire in the middle of the night! This family of five was all burned in the fire!
Alas... What a wickedness! ”
Xiao Qiqiang held back his anger and asked:
"Didn't anyone report to the official?"
"Chen Gongzi, I don't think you are a local, I advise you! Don't have anything to do with 'Dragon Gate'! The government at all levels in Guangxia County has a deep or shallow relationship with the 'Dragon Gate'! You don't want to be strong! Otherwise, you will definitely suffer in the end! ”
Xiao Qi nodded and said with a smile:
"Thank you, big brother, for reminding me, please accept this kindness."
After speaking, Xiao Qi secretly stuffed Xiao'er with five cents from under the table.
When Xiao'er got the money, he quickly stuffed it into his cuffs, and his face bloomed with joy.
Xiao Qi then asked:
"Then there is no place where the snobbery of the 'Dragon Gate' cannot be reached in the entire Guangxia County?"
"There are also two county magistrates in Guangxia County who are honest and fair, and their sleeves are clean! They are Wang Gu, the county magistrate of Yanxian County, and Fan Wen, the magistrate of Fan County.
These two are notoriously tough guys! They resisted the pressure from above and did not let the 'Dragon Gate' develop snobbery into their jurisdiction. ”
"Just two county masters can withstand the pressure of the county guards of Guangxia County?"
"Chen Gongzi doesn't know, these two people are different from other county masters, they were both important ministers of the first emperor, and later because they stood on the wrong side when the palace emperor was competing for the throne, so they were now named the county princess! They were also ministers of the first rank before, so no one dared to touch the two of them easily. ”
Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully, he got a lot of useful news today.
On the way back from the inn, Xiao Qi heard someone behind her shouting to her:
"Girl, please stay!"
