Chapter 12: Gossip
Liu Dakang's body stiffened when he was about to go out, and he responded helplessly: "Didn't you ask me to go and see Master?" He muttered casually: "It's what you said to go, and it's what you said not to go!" ”
He turned around and saw Jiang Han standing in the alley, looking at him with a smile on his chest: "Senior brother, you're fat!" I hear it, huh! ”
"If you hear it, you hear it, I see that you are more courageous, and you dare to threaten me." He reprimanded, closed the door of his house, and crossed Jiang Han to push the door of the Jiang family's courtyard.
"Sister, are you back? I'll boil all the water for you......" Yun Niang's gentle voice came from behind the door, as if she heard the movement of opening the door and came to greet her.
She got closer and realized that the person in front of her was not Jiang Han, so she immediately lowered her head, took a step back, bowed slightly, and changed her words a little embarrassedly: "Brother Liu, you are here!" Is Auntie at home? I wanted to ask her about embroidery, but I didn't dare to go out. ”
Liu Dakang stared blankly at the girl who suddenly appeared behind the door. She lowered her head, revealing her white neck, and carried an old lantern in her hand, which emitted a yellowish light, and the light and shadow wrapped around her, reflecting her as far and near, as if it were real.
He stared at the neck that seemed to have a pink fluorescence flowing on it, his heart was pounding, the heat spread from his heart to his head and neck, his hands and feet were soft but his tongue was straight, and then he heard his voice stutter uncontrollably: "She, she's, at home, you, you go, go!" In the evening, no, it's fine. ”
"Senior brother, why did I never know you were a stammer?" Jiang Han poked his head out from behind him, nudged his shoulder, and pushed him to a stumbling ground to break the embarrassment that was gradually rising at the door. He was still so flustered that he didn't stand firm, and he heard her ambiguously urge: "How long are you two going to block at this door?" ”
As soon as Jiang Han's urging fell, the two people who were at a loss were like springs, bouncing to the sides, and in the blink of an eye, there were four or five meters empty in front of the door.
Jiang Han squeezed his eyes ambiguously, laughed, and deliberately arched his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "You guys talk slowly, I took the initiative to report to my father's house!" ”
Yun Niang was so impressed by her appearance that she couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground, and stomped her feet and escaped out of the door to the next door.
Liu Dakang jumped forward and grabbed Jiang Han's neck: "Tell you to pretend to be a monster!" I see your skin is itching again, and you want to be beaten again! ”
After he finished speaking in annoyance, he really threw a punch at Jiang Han, Jiang Han rolled forward and dodged, and took advantage of the situation to hide in the eaves of the main house: "I just pierced the secret in your heart, do you need to kill people?" You can choose to bribe me......"
"Whatever you make up outside, come into the house!" Father Jiang's voice came like the voice of a bell, and the two of them immediately fell silent and shrugged their shoulders into the main house.
After entering the house, Liu Dakang stepped forward to salute and greet him, and then sat down and listened carefully to the training in the direction of Daddy Jiang's finger.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'll try to go home every day in the future, your mother and sister are weak women, and if something happens at night, I can't help now." Father Jiang was very kind in front of his only apprentice, and his tone of voice was so gentle that he didn't speak.
Jiang Han secretly rolled her eyes, since her father woke up, he was either silent or had a dark face, he would never be so kind, if it weren't for the age difference between her and Liu Dakang, she would have suspected that the two of them were wrong.
"It's going well in the Yamen, right?"
"It's all going well, but there is one thing - Uncle Zhao said that the fast shift has to be increased recently, and he wants to send me to the fast class, I want to go, Uncle Zhao asked me to come back and ask my mother ......" Liu Dakang said with a little snort.
"You haven't told her yet? Afraid that your mother will not agree? ”
"Hmmm......"
The atmosphere was suddenly a little heavy, Jiang Han looked back and forth at the two who were suddenly silent, blinked and said strangely: "Why don't you agree?" Isn't it much more promising to be a fast catcher than to be a doorman? ”
Her father glared at her directly and told her to shut up, and turned his head to discuss with Liu Dakang: "What the girl said is right...... You talk to your mother about this first, and if she doesn't agree, I'll persuade her well. Over the years, there have been accidents in your family, don't look at her now that she is in a hurry, and her heart is heavy...... However, we must always take this step, and we must not delay your future because of fear. ”
Then he said with a straight face: "Since you have to catch fast in the future, you must insist on getting up every morning to practice, although your kung fu is mediocre, there is a little more life in dangerous moments." Don't be like the moon girl, I can't control her in the past few months, she should forget about it. In the future, if you are at home, you will come over in the morning and take her out to practice together. ”
"Daddy...... I'm your daughter......" Jiang Han suddenly had a bitter face, now that he gets up every day, that is, at six o'clock, wouldn't he have to get up when he wants to practice again? It's still the middle of the night in modern times, even when it was the original training camp, I didn't get up so early, it's too inhumane!
However, the opposition was ineffective, and her father directly drove her aside and continued to care for his apprentice.
"This time, the Yamen plus people are planning to deal with the bandits in Luoxia Mountain?"
"No, the murder case that occurred in the middle of the night five days ago in the county seat has not yet had any clues, and Chen Zhixian will quickly send people to inspect it. The matter of the bandits will be handed over to the inspection department in the future. ”
"Can the Inspection Division afford such a big thing? The first inspector Chen died in the hands of the bandits four months ago! ”
"I heard Uncle Zhao say that there are people on the new Shen Patrol Inspection. He said that after the accident of the previous Chen patrol inspection, Chen Zhixian wanted to delay it for a few months and arrange an obedient person with some benefits, but he was intercepted by the people above. ”
"What kind of person is the new Shen Inspector, have you heard of it? He has also been in office for two months, is there anything about him in the county and town? ”
"I haven't heard anyone mention what kind of person he is, but I heard that since he came to the Luoxia Town Inspection Division, he has rarely taken care of things, and often the dragon sees the head and the tail, and now the Inspection Department is still the leader of the group of archers, Ma Huaide, is in charge. However, I heard from the people in the county government that this Shen inspector is the eldest son of a house in the side branch of the Shen family in Huzhou. ”
"Huzhou Shen family, isn't that a scholarly family? How can a literati do inspections? The candidates for the inspection are being transferred, and they also belong to the Ministry of War. ”
"It is said that this Lord Shen is still from Wuju, and before participating in the martial arts examination last year, he was seriously injured in an accident, so he gave up taking the exam again."
"Well, that's probably another pickled affair in the mansion! The eldest son is generally not welcomed, and he can find another way to pass the martial arts exam, and it seems that he is also a powerful character. ”
Look, men are also very gossipy, and they are even more gossip than women.
"Then whose relationship is he leaving?" Jiang Han listened with relish, and when he saw that the two of them stopped talking at the key point, he felt as if he was scratching his monkey paws.
"It was arranged by an adult surnamed Lu in Shaozhouwei."
"It sounds like a very powerful look - our county magistrate still dares to embarrass others, and he is not afraid of people suing him and wearing small shoes?" Jiang Han looked curious, this Chen Zhixian is so powerful, he dares not to take the people above in his eyes?
"I happened to be outside Chen Zhixian's study that day, and I vaguely heard their conversation." Liu Dakang suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Then his voice sank and imitated Chen Zhixian's voice and said: "The bandits are making such a big fuss now, they have harmed the people of the three counties, and they have become bandits. The defense of Qinghe County was already under the control of Shaozhou Wei, since Shen Patrol was dispatched by Lord Lu, it must be Lord Lu who sympathized with me that the little Qinghe County Government could not handle such a big matter, so Lord Shen was transferred to help me. In this case, it is only appropriate that the matter of the bandit should be handed over to Lord Shen. ”
"Doesn't this Lord Shen have a backstage? He just took such a big mess so honestly? Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief.
"Although the inspection is appointed from above, the inspection department is directly under the county government, even if Shen Patrol has a backstage, his direct peak is still Chen Zhixian, he has only been here for two months, his heel must be unstable, how can he directly disobey?" Daddy Jiang solved her doubts in time.
"I also heard Uncle Zhao say that this time Miss Xie and their affairs were not reported, and it was not spread in the county and town, but the yamen above didn't know how, plus there was no progress in the case five days ago, and the county magistrate was reprimanded from above."
Hearing that the magistrate had been criticized, Jiang Han's eyes lit up with a special schadenfreude, and when he turned his head to think of Xie Yunniang's affairs, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Will Yunniang and them be exposed?" ”
Uncle Zhao said that not for the time being. Miss Xie and her mother's bodies have been burned, and there were several corpses together on the day of the burning, and the people guarding the side, plus Miss Xie and their sisters and brothers, are a total of six, and they are all very reliable. The people who went to search the mountain before only knew that everyone except for one grandmother had been killed by the bandits. And the case file was reported according to Uncle Zhao's intentions, if you don't check it carefully from the beginning, no one will think that it is necessary to falsify the number of deceased people in this matter. ”
"Oh, I hope the killer doesn't start from scratch! Hey, being a rich lady is also a venture capital......" Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, touched his chin and sighed.
Before the exclamation was confiscated, her head was knocked again, and it was knocked by two people at the same time......
Jiang Han covered his head and roared: "Why knock me!" I'm just kidding! Are you still my dad and my brother? ”
She yelled and found that no one was taking her anger seriously......
I only heard her father say first: "Dakang, you have to bear with me, this girl has a lot of things lately, this girl's mind is a little unclear, she likes to say some strange things, and it will be fine after a while......"
Then her senior brother said helplessly: "Master, Yueya has indeed been a little crazy in recent months, but now she is a lot more honest, don't be angry......"
“……”
Anyway, where is she crazy and crazy! - I really can't communicate with these ancients, and I don't have any sense of humor!
