Chapter 542: Lin Jiazhuang
In the wing room on the second floor of the Yunlai Inn, the old man Song, who was drinking wine and listening to a small song, picked up a prawn and shook his head and said: "In this small mountain town, you can still eat seafood, which is really rare." ”
"Two taels of silver and eight, the granddaughter of the recognition is more generous than her own grandson, beautiful, really beautiful." He drank a jar of ten taels of fine wine, and couldn't help but beat along with the song.
It's not that he is reluctant to order better wine and food, but the best restaurant in this kind of small town, and there is only this grade of wine and food.
No matter how good things are, if you don't meet a big boss like him, you can't sell them when you buy them, they will just rot them.
Sitting by the window condescendingly looking at the scenery of Anjingcheng, Old Man Song didn't know what to think, poured a full bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Just as he was about to pour the second cup, there was a sound of going upstairs from the stairs, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and he looked back to see that Zhuang Rou was back.
"Good grandson, your murder is gone?" Old man Song smiled, and he felt cute when he saw Zhuang Rou with silver.
Zhuang Rou took a step inside, and pulled in a fat man who was tied up by five flowers from outside, "Grandpa, this person will be handed over to you to watch, don't let him be killed." ”
"Otherwise, you won't have such a good thing to enjoy in the future, so you can only go to a chase shop with fleas or go in the wild."
Hu Xianling's face was so terrible that it was swollen and purple, and the girl who sang the song was so frightened that she hid in the corner with the pipa in her arms.
Old man Song was eating deliciously, and suddenly a fat man who was inexplicably unappetizing, he said reluctantly: "Where did you pick up the fat man, so ugly." ”
"The county order here is called Hu Yuan. When I went to the Yamen, he tried to accuse me of crimes, so he taught him a lesson, and this person said that he had done a lot of bad things. Grandpa, you have to take care of him, you can't let him run away, and you can't die. Zhuang Rou explained.
"Yo." Old man Song smashed his mouth, "You are really promising, the county order has also been tied up, you are more daring than a tiger, and you are more powerful than your grandfather when he was young." ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him and smiled: "How about grandpa, do you think that I am much more productive than those Jianghu people who only dare to flee when they encounter people who have high martial arts skills." ”
"Hey, hey." Old man Song laughed dryly, "Those are ordinary people, you are originally an official government, how can you be compared." ”
"Then I'll go to Linjiazhuang to have a look, and I'll leave it to you here." Zhuang Rou threw Hu Xian Ling to him, turned around and was about to go out, when he suddenly stopped after taking two steps and looked back at Old Man Song.
Old man Song asked blankly, "Is there anything else?" ”
Zhuang Rou frowned, "Grandpa, who bought you this dress?" How does it look so ugly. ”
He was dressed in a red and green satin coat, which was full of copper coin patterns, which looked vulgar and unbearable. It's like the rich man in the country, who is even more unpleasant than the tattered clothes he wore before.
After taking a closer look, Zhuang Rou finally understood that it was Old Man Song's face and hair that were messy and didn't match his clothes well.
"You keep drinking, I'll go first, there's still something to do." She didn't wait for Old Man Song to explain, so she closed the door and went downstairs.
Old man Song looked at his clothes inexplicably, and muttered: "How can it be so ugly, this slippery material can be worn by the old man." ”
After a while, the door suddenly opened, and the shopkeeper led a few people in, and said with a smile: "Old man, let us take care of your old man, this is the master who shaves his beard, and the skillful woman who combs his hair." ”
"Look, isn't it taking care of it?"
Old man Song felt that Zhuang Rou, a powerful person in the capital, had a lot of things, but he didn't have to pay for the money himself, so he could take care of it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then take care of it." ”
Immediately, the masters stepped forward and began to take care of the filthy old man.
Zhuang Rou took the officials sent by the master of Chao, and they led the way to Linjiazhuang in a carriage.
This Lin Jiazhuang was not in Anjing City, nor was it on the way she came, but in the place half an hour after leaving Anjing City. Judging from the distance alone, Zhuang Rou didn't come here, and it was impossible to slaughter this Zhuangzi first.
Although the area around Anjingcheng is also full of forests, the road is not a deserted wild forest, but there are many small villages, many of which make a living by hunting.
There are also some fields carved out in the mountains, but they are narrow and small, and they can only grow something to subsidize daily food.
Ferocious beasts do not approach the vicinity of Anjing City, and if they do appear, they will be killed long ago. The people hunted hares, wild boars, pheasants, or deer, and brought them to the city in exchange for money.
I have seen a lot of local hunting, and when I saw Linjiazhuang, Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment.
This Linjiazhuang is built on the top of a low mountain, a large Zhuangzi, and the difference is that the whole mountain is all small paddy fields. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are layers of fields like a staircase.
At this time, it was already winter, and there was only mud in the paddy fields, and the grain had already been harvested.
At the foot of the hill there is a small village built on the fields, which seems to be tenant farmers who rent these fields. There were many children who were barefoot, trampling in the mud of the fields, looking for loaches and eels in them.
Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to know what happened to Linjiazhuang on the top of the mountain.
"My lord, this Lin family is a major grain producer in Anjing County, and the largest grain store in the city is his family. There are steps on this side, and we go up from this side. Sun Zhutou, who came with him, said to her.
Zhuang Rou had already seen a stone staircase path that led zigzag along the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so she led people up.
The children in the field looked at them curiously, and then hurriedly followed the friends to catch loaches.
Halfway through, someone ran down from it, a very energetic old man, and dressed better than a tenant farmer.
He looked at Zhuang Rou a little inexplicably, and arched his hand to the head catcher next to him: "Sun head catcher, who is this?" ”
Sun Zhutou said: "Hu Xianling can't come when he's sick, this is a big official from the capital, Lord Zhuang." ”
"My lord, this is Liu Dagen, the land protector of the village under the mountain, and he let him guard the corpse of Linjiazhuang first." He said to Zhuang Rou again.
If more than 100 people really died, but only let the land be guarded, this yamen is really powerful.
Zhuang Rou swept the ground guard who saw the female official for the first time, and was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do, raised her chin and said, "Let's go, take the road to see." ”
Liu Dagen hurriedly led the way up, but he was afraid that the scene inside would frighten the female officials from the capital, so he cautiously asked: "Lady, there are a lot of dead people here, is the villain going to move the door first?" ”
"No, when the official was rolling in the pile of dead, you weren't married." Where was Zhuang Rou afraid of corpses, there was no need to be so troublesome.
Liu Dagen turned around and flattened his mouth disapprerovingly, now talk big, don't be scared for a while.
When she arrived at the gate of Linjiazhuang, Zhuang Rou smelled blood before she entered the door, and she raised her hand to make everyone stop.
"What's the matter, the lady is scared?" Liu Dagen asked.
Zhuang Rou asked everyone not to move, and slowly looked around, not letting go of any place. After looking at it for a while, she walked towards the bamboo forest next to Zhuangzi.
I don't know if it was to look elegant and tasteful, the Lin family did not plant trees outside the village, or cut down the trees and planted a large area of bamboo.
Now the bamboo forest is in patches, and the bamboo leaves all over the ground are densely packed with I don't know how many acres.
Zhuang Rou tilted her head to look at Zhuangzi's wall, walking step by step, without seeing any traces of climbing. She went around in a circle, except for Yinba, everyone listened to her standing in place and waited for a long time.
She walked around from the other side, looked at the pool of blood on the threshold of the Zhuangzi gate, and said thoughtfully: "The gangster entered from the door, and he may be an acquaintance." ”
"Are you sure it's an acquaintance?" Sun Zhutou asked.
Zhuang Rou smiled slightly, "Let's talk about it first, I'm not sure, what's the hurry." ”
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
