Chapter Seventy-Four: Talented
Shopkeeper Zhu's face was pale: "Second master...... I...... I have to believe it, look at me...... I'm afraid I'm going to be found by the yamen soon. As he spoke, he became even more panicked.
Li Wenqing picked up the cup on the table and immediately poured it, drenching the shopkeeper Zhu with tea: "Talk to me when you're sober." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu shuddered, but the whole person still seemed to be in a daze, and his body swayed as if he couldn't stand.
The uneasy emotions in Li Wenqing's heart became more and more intense.
This has happened more than once.
He didn't believe it, and all the ghosts, gods, and spirits appeared in groups in Taiyuan City. He suffered a big loss last time he was haunted, and now he will never believe in any carp essence.
Shopkeeper Zhu said after a while: "Second master, you can go to the lake to have a look, there are many people gathered every day, hoping that the carp spirit will appear...... The clues that the government couldn't find, the carp essence gave all the guidance. ”
"Not only that, but the carp essence is also very talented. In the early morning or dusk, the carp spirit will appear in the tuning, and a small boat will appear in the middle of the river like a fallen leaf, the tune is tactful and sad, making people cry when they listen to it, and the sound of the piano attracts many people.
At first, it was just those women who performed in the green building, and those women deliberately competed with them on the shore but failed, and then some ladies and sons also quietly went to the appointment, although it was only a few days, and that song had already caused a sensation in Taiyuan City.
I went to the lake last night to see if the rumors were true, and it turned out to be ...... I could really hear the piano. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu swallowed as he spoke, and the look of fear on his face was even worse: "I was about to hire a boat to go to the river to have a look, but I felt that someone pushed me, and then I fell into the water, thanks to the fact that I brought a few family members, otherwise...... will drown. ”
This idiot.
Li Wenqing looked over: "Did anyone see you falling into the water?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhu nodded: "Yes...... Yes...... See. ”
When he woke up, he saw that there were people on the shore pointing at him, and some people even saw that he was the shopkeeper of the drugstore, and those people were suspicious of him in their eyes.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart, for fear of opening his mouth to explain, and finally returned home.
Li Wenqing only felt that his anger hit his chest all the way, Shopkeeper Zhu is a shrewd person on weekdays, why is he confused now, if there is no ghost in his heart, how can he go to the riverside, just sneak a look, and make everyone know.
"Go back and clean up," Li Wenqing said disgustedly, "Do you want to attract the government to catch you like this?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhu seemed to be slumped on the ground: "I don't dare to go back...... The people of the imperial court have already gone to my house to check, although they have not found any evidence, but they can wait for the carp spirit to send news...... I'm done. ”
Li Wenqing's eyes widened.
Such an important thing was finally spoken: "What are you going to do?" ”
Li Wenqing's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the shopkeeper Zhu finally knelt on the ground: "Second master, don't worry, even if I am caught, I will not confess to you, I just ask you to take care of the old and young in my family and let them rely on them." ”
"Go out," Li Wenqing said, "if you do a good job, I will definitely do it." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu got up and retreated, and as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he heard an exclamation outside: "Who is this, how does it seem to have been fished out of the water." ”
Li Wenqing's brain exploded with a "buzz".
Wherever there was a bustle, she would come to her, and he had never seen such a disgusting woman.
Li Wenqing strode out, and immediately saw Ji Yanran talking to Shopkeeper Zhu with a handkerchief.
The people around Ji Yanran turned their heads, and Li Wenqing also saw it clearly.
Ji Zi'an.
The imperial history of the famous Taiyuan Mansion collided with the shopkeeper Zhu.
"Master Ji," Li Wenqing immediately greeted him, "Why are you here, ...... Let's go to the study and talk. As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Shopkeeper Zhu to leave.
Shopkeeper Zhu quietly took two steps to the side.
"Hey, wait, aren't you the one who fell into the river?"
Shopkeeper Zhu wanted to cry without tears, turned his head tremblingly, and only saw the woman looking at Ji Yushi with a regretful face: "Uncle, you didn't see it, it's a pity, this person was dragged into the water by the carp essence, and four or five people worked together to send him ashore." ”
Ji Yanran shouted in a fuss, but Ji Zi'an next to her was very calm, full of uprightness, looked at the shopkeeper Zhu intently, and then said in a deep voice: "That carp essence has made Taiyuan City panic, this official has decided to find out, you fell into the water is really what it did, and this official will seek justice for you." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu had to bow down and say, "My lord Mingjian, it has nothing to do with carp essence...... It was I who accidentally stumbled......"
"Whew," Ji Zi'an said, "It can be seen that some rumors can't be true, but even if they aren't...... On the day of the trial, you have to testify. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu lowered his head and trembled: "Yes...... I would like to listen to my lord's command. ”
From a distance, Li Yong saw the Ji family's uncle and nephew talking, looking like two big-tailed wolves.
In just a moment, Li Wenqing was so angry that he touched his waist twice, and there was a soft sword hidden there. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kill people in front of people, Li Wenqing would have regarded those two heads as decorations a long time ago.
"Third master," Tang Qian stepped forward to say, "Jiang Yong has arrived in Taiyuan City." ”
Li Yong turned around and was about to leave, but he paused, calmly ordered Tang Qian: "You stay...... Don't follow me. ”
Tang Qian looked in Ji Yanran's direction, did the third master ask him to protect the third grandmother?
Seeing the shopkeeper Zhu leave, Ji Yanran realized that Tang Qian beside her, needless to say, Li Yong must have gone out.
"Abandoned again?" Ji Yanran watched Tang Qian hand over a packet of osmanthus candy, "Eat, I'm full and don't want to go home." ”
As soon as Tang Qian threw the candy into his mouth, Ji Yanran asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
"Jiang ...... The family is back. ”
That's a big deal.
Ji Yanran straightened her back, a cloud covered the sun, and the whole courtyard instantly became gloomy.
It's all about success or failure.
……
Jiang Yong strode into the door, and Jiang Jinyu was waiting in the courtyard.
"Uncle." Jiang Jinyu quietly looked at Jiang Yong, trying to see some clues on his face, but what disappointed her was that there was no strange look in Jiang Yong's eyebrows.
"Are things going well in the capital?" Jiang Jinyu took a cup of tea, and she bit her slightly pale lip to make herself look as bright as possible.
Jiang Yong took the tea and instructed the people around him: "Stand down, I have something to tell the eldest lady." ”
The people in the house were gone, Jiang Yong frowned, and his voice was much more stern: "What happened to Taiyuan City?" Why did you open a porridge shed to help those people, because there were not enough people gathered? ”
Jiang Jinyu's eyes were red: "My niece can't do it, Ji Zi'an uses the identity of Yushi to suppress it, and my niece can't conflict with him openly." ”
It's just Ji Zi'an.
Jiang Yong sank his eyes, he had already sent a fool to Taiyuan Mansion, how could he still make waves.
