Chapter 80: The son-in-law of the county magistrate at the family banquet
After Xu Xian Ling left, Hu Yanjin went into the house to explain the situation to the master's family, and they only learned that Hu Yanjin went to Beijing this time, and he was promoted two levels in a row because of fate, and became a young James in Nanfu.
"Senior brother, I want to go at night too." Hua Qiao is still thinking about the unjust soul.
"Okay, I'll go back to the private school to change my clothes first, and I'll come to you later. When it gets dark, you hide on the roof just to see where he's coming from. Hu Yanjin also needed help, so he readily agreed.
When Hu Yanjin took the buckwheat wearing night clothes to the roof of the county office, found a shadow place to hide, and he dressed himself and entered the county government through the side door again.
"Lord Huyan, please come inside!" When Lord Xu saw Hu Yanjin again, his eyes changed: It's really eye-catching, Hu Yanjin has always been on his own territory, why didn't he see that Baoying could still raise such a golden unicorn!
Hu Yanjin smiled and followed inside.
The inner government has been washing and scrubbing since this morning, and even the well has found a stone manhole cover to press on it, and the thickness, if it is not a big man, it is really difficult to move. At this moment, the sky is about to be twilight, and a row of lanterns are lit up on the corridor, which is also done according to Qian Xunshu's teachings, Hu Yanjin glanced at it and found that each lantern was pasted with a piece of rune paper.
When passing through the courtyard, Hu Yanjin quickly looked for the direction of Hua Qiao, Hua Qiao also poked her head to look down, Hu Yanjin saw her vague shadow, and his heart warmed.
Entering the inner hall, Hu Yanjin was taken aback, he didn't expect that Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were also present.
"Lord Huyan, I'm really sorry, today is a family banquet, a family banquet! You don't have to be restrained, this is the cheap, this is the only daughter of the lower official, Jasmine's Jasmine, and Zhengyan's Yan. Xu Xianling introduced it diligently.
As soon as Xu Moyan saw Hu Yanjin coming in, her eyes straightened. This is the second time she has seen Hu Yanjin, the first time is in her uncle's pharmacy. Could it be that this is fate? I heard my father say that he was a fourth-grade official, and I thought he was an ugly uncle, but I didn't expect it to be a handsome man! Xu Moyan, Xu Moyan, if you can catch him, what else do you need Xu Zhijin?
"It turned out to be Lord Huyan? We are really fated to meet again. Xu Moyan shyly made a blessing.
"So you know each other? Oh, that's great, and Lord Huyan doesn't have to be restrained. Xu Xianling was a little surprised, but he was even happier in his heart. Women chase men, layer yarn, eat a meal, take a walk, pull a little hand, maybe it will be done!
Hu Yanjin sat on the upper seat, right opposite the gate of the inner hall, and outside the door was the inner courtyard, and the sight was very good, so he sat down with peace of mind and waited for the "unjust soul" to come to the door.
Xu Xianling and his wife took turns to persuade the dishes, Miss Xu smiled nymphomaniacly, and Hu Yanjin only felt a strong guilt in his heart: I was eating and drinking in the house, and my girl was still standing guard on the roof...... I couldn't eat anything at once.
"Lord Huyan, I heard that you are still living in Wangnan Private School with Mr. Wu, and now that you are a fourth-grade young James, haven't you considered buying a mansion in Baoying and Yingtianfu?" Mrs. Xu asked with concern. You have to have a house before you start a family, right?
"What? Does Mrs. Xu have a mansion for sale in these two places? ”
"I don't have one, but if Lord Huyan needs to buy it, I can do it for you. Don't worry......" Mrs. Xu didn't hear Hu Yanjin's disdain, but enthusiastically wanted to talk in detail about the necessary conditions for choosing a house for her daughter. Suddenly, there was the sound of stones hitting the tiles.
This voice was too familiar to Hu Yanjin, and he stood up and rushed into the courtyard.
Sure enough, there were two figures on the roof, one was dressed in linen cloth, and the other was petite and exquisite, which was buckwheat. The buckwheat didn't stand very steadily on the roof, but it still staggered forward to chase, and the person who looked like a "wronged soul" might have been hit by the buckwheat's stones, and he couldn't run well.
Hu Yanjin didn't dare to hesitate and went to the roof, hugged Hua Qiao's waist, and took her to catch up with her. The linen robe that the person who pretended to be a ghost was bulging in the wind, and it was really not good to look at the acupuncture points, so the stone of the buckwheat just now hurt him, but it didn't hurt the vital point. After running two steps, the man jumped off the roof and ran into the alley.
Hu Yanjin also followed with Hua Qiao. Hua Qiao hurriedly said: "You go to chase, you can't run fast with me!" ”
"Who said that? Hold you, I'll run fast! ”
Hu Yanjin didn't blink, followed the man and turned a corner, while the man ran past a house with a lantern hanging at the door of the house, he could see clearly, Hu Yanjin A stone passed through in the dark night, hitting him in the back of the head, the man screamed in pain, and his steps slowed down. Hua Qiao also found a stone, and this time she hit the Chengjing point in the crook of her leg, and the man fell to the ground completely.
"See? If you don't want to kill him, don't hit him in the head. Hua Qiao showed a cunning little pride, Hu Yanjin couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the cheek, let go of her, and walked forward without looking back.
Hua Qiao was also stunned, touched her face, snickered twice, and chased after her seriously.
The man couldn't stand up anymore, and curled up on the ground with his head in his hands and groaned. Hu Yanjin lifted the linen robe draped over him, but was surprised to see that the man was just a teenager.
Just as he was about to ask a question, a crack opened in the door next to him, revealing half a suspicious face.
"If you want to see the official handling the case, you can go to the yamen to see it and go back!" Hu Yanjin said expressionlessly to the people in the crack of the door. Immediately, I heard the sound of the door shut.
Hu Yanjin dragged the boy to the wall and made him sit against the wall. The young man raised his head and looked at Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao, and scolded angrily: "Dog legs! ”
"Who are you? What does it have to do with Lin Guangzong? Why pretend to be a ghost and be scary? Hu Yanjin didn't seem to hear his words, so he just asked. But the boy turned his head away and said nothing. Hu Yanjin said: "If you don't say it, I have to take you back to the yamen to be punished." ”
The young man sneered, his face fearless.
Hua Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Although you are not afraid of punishment, but you have been beheaded, who will your mother rely on?" ”
"Phew! I'm just scary, how can I cut off my head? Don't bluff me! ”
"Although you are just pretending to be a ghost and scary, but last night someone fell into a well and drowned because of you, and this morning I was nailed into a coffin because of you and almost died. You say, "Can you be convicted of beheading?" Hua Qiao walked up to him and said with a smile:
"But if you honestly tell the cause and effect of the dry well case and your pretending to be a ghost, maybe the official in front of you can avenge your father's grievances."
"My dad...... How do you know he's my daddy? The boy asked in surprise.
Hua Qiao shook her head proudly and said, "What's so difficult about this? I...... Guess! Hu Yanjin looked at his own girl, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and then swallowed the smile that came to his mouth.
"Look at your appearance, sixteen or seventeen years old, Tailor Lin was beheaded seventeen years ago, and his wife didn't come to collect the body, or my father and they dragged Tailor Lin's body to the mass grave to be buried. The reason why his wife didn't come was because she already had the blood of Tailor Lin in her belly, and when she learned that Tailor Lin had committed adultery and murder, she returned to her parents' house angrily. ”
The young man looked at the buckwheat in a daze, still without saying a word.
"And you are the child in her womb, the widow of Tailor Lin!"
