Chapter 186: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against and Scheme
"Do you still want to make a fortune in the county?"
The first thing the county magistrate said when he saw Cao Heizi was this.
Cao Heizi was stunned, "Cousin, what do you mean by this?" ”
The county magistrate said impatiently: "I just asked you if you still want to make a fortune in the county?" ”
Cao Heizi immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "Think, think, of course I think!" ”
The county magistrate lowered his eyes and lowered his voice, "I'll let you do something, if you can do it clearly, I can help you take down that pawnshop." ”
Cao Heizi hurriedly asked, "What does my cousin want me to do?" I'll do it! ”
The county order hooked his finger and motioned for Cao Heizi to come closer, Cao Heizi hurriedly came over like a pug, and the county order whispered a few words in his ear, Cao Heizi first changed his face, and then showed a sinister smile.
Ji Sanniang heard that there were thieves in Wanjia last night, and the first thing she thought of was not whether the Wan family was safe or not, but Cao Heizi.
Ji Sanniang called He Huzi over and asked him about last night.
As soon as He Huzi finished telling what happened, Ji Sanniang had a number in her heart.
Ji Sanniang suddenly thought of something, and asked expectantly: "Master, hasn't he written back yet?" ”
He Huzi shook his head helplessly, "The master hasn't written yet." I don't know if they went well on the road. ”
Ji Sanniang said affirmatively: "Their journey must be smooth, I am anxious to let him know what has happened in the county since he left." ”
He Huzi sank his face and said in a dumb voice: "Let's just stop doing it and kill Cao Heizi!" It's a scourge to keep him, and sooner or later he'll have to give us trouble. ”
Ji Sanniang didn't want to immediately break Cao Heizi's body into ten thousand pieces, but reason still overcame her impulse.
"No, I can't. After all, he is a relative of the county order, and if something happens to him, the county order will definitely investigate to the end. The master is not here, if the county order catches us at something, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide. From today onwards, you just need to find someone to keep an eye on Cao Heizi's every move, and by the way, you must strengthen the protection of thousands of people in secret, and that's it. ”
Ji Sanniang's calmness made He Huzi admire him very much, and He Huzi also calmed down, "Just do what Sanniang said." Before leaving, the master said, we will listen to whatever you say. ”
"Brother He, let you work hard." Ji Sanniang first said politely to He Huzi, and then sighed helplessly, "Alas, I guess the master must not have expected that as soon as he left on his front foot, Cao Heizi came back." ”
He Huzi twisted his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the county master seems to be promoted, and I also hope that he will be promoted quickly, as soon as he leaves, Cao Heizi will have no backer." ”
Ji Sanniang clenched her handkerchief tightly and said with hatred: "If the county order is promoted, then Cao Heizi may be even more rampant!" Where did you hear about the county magistrate's promotion? Is it reliable? ”
He Huzi nodded, "It's news from outside, eight or nine is not far from ten." ”
Ji Sanniang said with a cold expression: "Last night's affair of Wanjia, the county order must also be involved. We can't afford to be so cheap for the two of them. Didn't he want to get promoted? Let's help him! ”
After Cao Heizi walked out of the county office, he kept a smile on his face, and I don't know if he thought he had encountered something good.
Li Dalong's subordinates, who secretly followed Cao Heizi, saw him come out of the county government and his eyebrows danced, and hurriedly went to tell He Huzi.
When He Huzi heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately went to the medical hall and told Fu Xiaojiu about it.
Fu Xiaojiu also felt that it was wrong when he heard it, the county order should at least reprimand Cao Heizi, how could Cao Heizi still come out of the county office with his eyebrows fluttering?
He Huzi immediately reminded; "Could it be that they have discussed some treacherous schemes again?"
Fu Xiaojiu thought for a while and said: "It's very possible, I know now, they are really a raccoon dog, embarrassed." It's a pity that there is no evidence of their collusion, otherwise I would have to ask the county magistrate to take off the black gauze hat on his head! ”
Fu Xiaojiu really couldn't swallow this breath.
He Huzi was also worried, but he tried to say as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, Fu Langzhong, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on Cao Heizi in secret, if he makes any more moves this time, we can know immediately." ”
"I'm really sorry for you. By the way, Brother Li hasn't written back yet? He's been gone for days, so he should have a letter back, right? ”
Fu Xiaojiu felt that Li Dalong's letter was the most reassuring thing for the Wan family.
He Huzi shook his head helplessly, "Master, he hasn't sent a letter back, to be honest, I'm a little worried about him." ”
"Brother Li, they will definitely be safe."
Fu Xiaojiu believed in Li Dalong's ability, and no one dared to do anything to him along the way.
He Huzi was also very concerned about Li Dalong's letter, but he didn't expect to receive Li Dalong's letter as soon as he returned to Li Dalong's house.
Li Dalong sent a total of three letters back, one for He Huzi, one for Jia Sanniang, and one for Wan Lin.
He Huzi read the letter written to him in a hurry first, and immediately had the bottom in his heart, and then went to send a letter to Ji Sanniang and Fu Xiaojiu.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't open the letter, she wanted Wan Lin to be the first to read the letter.
Coincidentally, Fu Xiaojiu just thought that Wan Lin could come back when he was away, and Wan Lin came back.
"Brother Li has a letter!"
Fu Xiaojiu held up Li Dalong's letter and said happily.
Wan Lin's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the letter, and couldn't wait to open the letter and go to the hut to look at it.
Li Dalong wrote in the letter that he and his wife had arrived in the provincial capital, and they did not encounter any thieves along the way, and his wife was also very happy, and there were fewer times when they were confused than before.
Li Dalong asked if Wanlin County was peaceful, how the business of the hospital was, and whether their family needed help.
Li Dalong's handwriting is quite good-looking, but the choice of words and sentences is a little worse, basically in the vernacular, but it looks very simple and clear.
Wan Lin immediately replied to Li Dalong, he didn't want Li Dalong to know about these bad things, but it was related to the safety of his family, and even the safety of the entire county, Wan Lin still replied to the letter in every detail.
Ji Sanniang and He Huzi also replied immediately when they saw Li Dalong's letter.
After Wan Lin finished writing the letter, he took the letter and went to Li Dalong's house.
Wan Lin handed over the letter to He Huzi, and he was much more relieved, "Brother Li, they arrived in the provincial capital safely, and the old lady is in good condition, so I am relieved." ”
"Yes, the old man and the old lady are safe and sound. They went all the way south, and the south was more peaceful than our north. Wan Xiucai, I told the master what your family has encountered recently, you wait, the master will definitely come up with a way to deal with Cao Heizi. ”
He Huzi regretted it very much, when they first came to the county seat to fight Cao Heizi, they directly killed him.
At that time, the county order had just come, and the foundation was unstable, even if Cao Heizi was eliminated, as long as the county order had no evidence, they would not be able to do anything.
But now there are more things to scruple about, and when I think of these, He Huzi is very aggrieved.
He Huzi told Wan Lin again about Cao Heizi's eyebrows dancing when he came out of the county office, and Wan Lin immediately frowned two thick eyebrows after listening to it.
Although Wan Lin was a little worried, he was still a little lucky, "Cao Heizi really doesn't have any city government, and his joy and anger are all on his face." That's good, and it allows us to be a little prepared. ”
He Huzi said embarrassedly: "If only we knew what they were planning." ”
Wan Lin said calmly: "Don't worry, they will always show their feet." ”
He Huzi's eyes inadvertently glanced at the courtyard, and suddenly thought of a way.
"By the way, the master is gone, such a big house is empty, your family might as well move here, many brothers who have not married are living here. With them here to protect you, Cao Heizi will not dare to treat your family no matter how bold he is. ”
Wan Lin thanked He Huzi for his kindness, but still rejected him, "Brother He, I appreciate your kindness." But if we all move in with a family of five and a big black dog, wouldn't it be too much trouble for you? ”
He Huzi hurriedly said: "Isn't Wan Xiucai outside? Our lord treats you like a brother, and now that you are in trouble, how can we sit idly by? If the old man hadn't left, he would have done it. ”
Wan Lin could understand He Huzi's worries, but Wan Lin knew it in his heart, and said calmly: "There will be two more and two in everything, and there will be no three and four." They will definitely not let people come to my house with knives again, and we have to beware of him firing hidden arrows. If you really want to help, you might as well trouble the two brothers to guard in front of the infirmary. ”
He Huzi didn't expect Wan Lin, a scholar, to be so bold and so calm.
"Wan Xiucai rest assured, we will definitely send people to guard the medical hall all the time. But I also keep the master's house for you, you can live in when you want to live in, the room is enough, let alone five, even ten people can live. ”
He Huzi said sincerely, because he admired Wan Lin very much, and finally understood why Li Dalong valued Wan Lin.
Wan Lin was polite to He Huzi for a while, and then left.
All the way out of Li Dalong's house, Wan Lin always felt as if someone was following him behind him, but every time he looked back, there was no one behind him.
However, when Wan Lin felt that he was being followed, he did not think of his own safety.
Wan Lin muttered to himself worriedly: "I will officially enter the county tomorrow to study, and I can't be by my mother's side all day during the day, will anyone come to the hospital to make trouble when I'm not there?" ”
Wan Lin thought about it, and suddenly turned his head again, but there was still no one behind him.
Seeing that Wan Lin was about to come out of the secluded alley, he didn't care if anyone was following him behind him.
However, Wan Lin took a few more steps and suddenly felt a cool breeze sweeping behind him.
"Be careful!"
A person suddenly appeared in front of Wan Lin and pushed Wan Lin aside.
