"Knock knock" "Knock knock"

"Is anyone home?"

Early in the morning, after Yun Niang came back from the dock, the sisters knocked on the door next door.

"Is anyone home, please?" Jiang Han's voice raised an octave, and he put his ear on the door to listen to the movement inside.

There was no movement.

"Maybe not at home, let's come back in the evening." Yun Niang pulled Jiang Han's arm.

Just as he was about to leave, footsteps sounded next to him, and a woman in her forties and fifties with wrinkled eyes came over with a basket and asked suspiciously, "What is the matter with you?" ”

The sisters hurriedly stopped, Yun Niang smiled, nodded and asked politely, "Hello Mama, are you the owner of this house?" ”

"No, I'm a servant of the house. My master is usually not at home at this time. ”

"Oh, so do you know when your master will come home?"

"In the past, I used to go home when I was a unitary time, what happened to the two of you?"

Yun Niang's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she smiled modestly: "Oh, the two of us are fine, we just want to ask ......"

Jiang Han, who was anxious on the side, grabbed the conversation and asked bluntly: "Mama, please ask, did your family invite a gentleman?" ”

This is the point of their knocking on the door, since the master is not at home, then first touch the situation before knowing how to talk to others.

She couldn't stand Yun Niang's twisting and grinding way of questioning.

The old lady looked at her twice and shook her head: "Who are you?" My little master is only four years old, what do you need a gentleman? Why do you two ask? ”

"But, yesterday I saw a scholar come out of your house......"

Although Mama was full of vigilance, she hesitated for a moment and said, "You are talking about the master of the Xu family, right?" He is the nephew of my wife, and he was going to go to the provincial capital to participate in the township test, but he met a thief on the road, and now he is temporarily living in my house. ”

Taking the township test?

Isn't that a showman?

Wow, this time I met a treasure!

Jiang Han's eyes were as bright as stars and he glanced at Yun Niang, saluted the grandmother, thanked them and introduced themselves, and finally left a sentence "You are busy, when your master comes back in the evening, we will visit again", and pulled Yun Niang to go home.

Yun Niang's face was disappointed that she couldn't hide.

Rejoice in the air!

A talent who is about to participate in the township exam.

It's May, August Township Exam, and I can't stay for a few days and don't have time to teach Xiao An to read.

"What's wrong with you? Not happy? It's a showman, or I'm going to take the exam, there must be real talent to learn, Xiao An will definitely be able to learn......"

"How can Xiucai, who is going to go to the provincial capital to participate in the township examination, teach students? There are still three months to go before the exam, how many days can he stay here? He has to review and prepare for the exam, how can he still be distracted from teaching students? ”

Jiang Han was dumbfounded.

That's right, people are too busy with their own affairs, how can they teach others?

She heard that it was a showman and patronized happily, but she didn't expect any of this at all.

"Not necessarily, right? He's going to have to stay for a few days...... Xiao An can also go and ask for advice, he doesn't have time to dial it up, can't he? ”

Jiang Han was really unwilling.

The guidance of a showman who is about to take the township test is better than the codex of the down-and-out showman, right?

And with such a close distance, life safety is also guaranteed.

What a wonderful thing!

Is it taken for granted again?

"I think I'll forget it, people's exams are coming, so it's better not to disturb others!" Yun Niang adjusted her mood, pushed Jiang Han's right arm, and said, "I'll go wash the clothes, and then go to do the embroidery work, you hurry back to the house to rest, don't shake around and touch the wound." ”

……

In the evening, the family had just finished eating and sat at the stone table in the courtyard and chatted.

Xiao An, who was forced to rest by the codex, brought a clay basin and called Duoduo, squatted in front of the clay basin to watch it eat, touched its head from time to time, and said a few words to it from time to time.

Duoduo Dog hated him for disturbing the meal, whined a few times from time to time, shook his head, and finally threw the juice of the leftovers onto his sleeve, causing Xiao An to scream in annoyance.

Duoduo raised his head and snorted at him twice and continued to eat, glancing at Xiao An's dog eyes with a little pride.

Jiang Han was very happy to see it: "Haha, you still touch its head when it eats, it's really eyeless, dogs are disgusted!" ”

While he was laughing, there was a knock at the door.

Liu Dakang is here.

He walked straight to the stone table, his face not very good.

"What's wrong? What's the trouble again? Father Jiang said with concern.

"Alas, then Lord Shen threw me a big trouble! Send ......" He paused, glanced at Yun Niang, and said sullenly, "It's nothing, the cooperation with Lord Shen is not very smooth." He's quirky and domineering, and he's not easy to get along with! ”

It's not easy to get along!

There is simply no more selfish and unreasonable person than him!

Who cooperates, doesn't help each other, understand each other, and work together?

cooperated with him, except for the initial Li Zhutou incident, which went smoothly, other things were either a bunch of conditions or all kinds of non-cooperation, or even left alone.

Think about it, since the cooperation, even the Li Zhutou incident, he said he would do what he wanted.

His men are much better at doing things than their half-baked catchers.

The key clues were provided, and Uncle Zhao accepted all his opinions.

When it came to the case of the disappearance of women and children, Uncle Zhao wanted him to send his subordinates to help investigate secretly.

He even refused directly, saying that it was not the responsibility of his inspection department!

It's not your responsibility, what did you detain people in the first place?

Why did you kidnap Huang San?

At the beginning, he indiscriminately climbed the bandits for reasons to live or die, and now he drops a sentence "It has been ascertained, it has nothing to do with the bandits", and he wants to push the matter to the fast class?

How can there be such a willful and reckless court official?

You're an official of the imperial court!

How can you always think about the black hand behind your back?

It's so dark that his innocent little catcher is coming up!

"I heard that Lord Shen sent you a woman?" Jiang Han's smile was full of obscenity.

Liu Dakang, who had just been sad and angry that he had been innocently implicated, was shocked, stood up suddenly, blushed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? What sent a woman? At all, this is not the case at all! As he spoke, his eyes narrowly and evadively glanced at Yun Niang.

"Cut, that's not the case, why are you nervous? Is shouting so loud a bluff? Jiang Han's eyes widened, and he continued to add fuel and vinegar with a look of not thinking too much to watch the show, "I think it's good to send a woman, you see that you are almost twenty years old, and everyone has children running all over the ground in their twenties!" ”

Liu Dakang's slap shouted angrily at Jiang Han's head: "Talk nonsense again!" The skin is itchy again, isn't it? Didn't you just get seriously injured? There is also a mind to talk nonsense, I think you are not enough to teach a lesson! ”

"Okay, sit down and talk well, Yue girl, your senior brother is having a headache about the case, don't make a mess!" Father Jiang spoke majestically, swept his eyes, and finally made the two honest.

"Tell me, what's going on? What the moon girl said is true? ”

"Yes and ......no," Liu Dakang said.

"What the hell?"

"It was Lord Shen who sent the female witness to my house, saying that this case was not the responsibility of their inspection department, and the witness could no longer be placed in the inspection department. That girl didn't know anything, she couldn't be counted as a witness, Uncle Zhao and I wanted to send her home, but who knew that she wouldn't, so she would die if she went back...... Yesterday evening, I hanged myself......"

"What? Hanging yourself? Is there anything wrong with people? Your mother didn't say a word either! Father Jiang exclaimed.

Jiang Han put away his smiling face, and Yun Niang and Xiao An also looked at Liu Dakang with a straight face.

"It's okay, I was found by my little sister and rescued in time...... It's just that in this way, I don't know what to do with Uncle Zhao! Liu Dakang's face was helpless and depressed, and the afterglow at the end of his eyes couldn't help but sweep Yun Niang's face.

It's a pity that Yun Niang didn't have too much expression on her face except sympathy and pity: "This girl is also pitiful!" I have heard Mama Yu say before that some large families encounter children who are abducted from the family, and they will deliberately claim that they have died of illness for fear that their reputation will be damaged. ”

"If you pay attention to fame, you won't kill people, right? It's not easy to raise a girl, right? Besides, how can a family be so ruthless? Calling it a violent illness to the outside world, can't she change her identity and marry far away? I don't think this statement is reliable, I'm afraid there is something else hidden! Jiang Han looked at Liu Dakang, "Moreover, why does Shen Hei have to send people to your house?" If you want to send it, shouldn't you send it to the county office? Isn't there some conspiracy? ”

When Father Jiang heard this, he lowered his face and reprimanded Jiang Han: "How did you speak?" What conspiracy can Lord Shen have? In the future, you are not allowed to call Lord Shen Shen a black face, Lord Shen is the life-saving benefactor of you and my father and daughter, and this is your attitude towards your benefactor? We can't repay his kindness for the time being, but we can't be the villain who knows how to repay his kindness and doesn't repay his ungrateful! ”

Okay!

She just said a few words on the matter, and she was put on the line!

Just like this, his father became a black-faced iron fan!

"Dad, you don't want to give him an immortal tablet, do you?" Jiang Han thought about it and rushed out.

"Oh, yes! Why didn't Dad remember! Tomorrow my father will be up for this matter! ”
