"Ahh

Everyone in the small courtyard subconsciously closed their eyes, and they couldn't bear to see the new imperial examination people, blood splashed under the porch of the Jiang family.

But the next moment, the imaginary bloody scene did not appear.

After a crackling sound, the screams did not come, everyone opened their eyes and looked again, but saw Jiang Han and Xu Xiucai on the bluestone road, narrowly avoiding the bamboo skewers inserted in the gaps.

Xu Xiucai's face was like a pig's liver, and he pushed Jiang Han in a hurry, Jiang Han hurriedly held him down and warned: "If you want to die, don't move." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Han got up first, Xu Xiucai sat up inexplicably, and with a casual sweep of his eyes, he saw the skewers inserted on the ground, which seemed to have no rules at all.

The cold sweat on his forehead flowed down immediately, and if Jiang Han hadn't picked him up, I'm afraid that there would already be blood holes all over his body.

"You, what are you doing?" He asked with a trembling hand, pointing to the improvised trap in the yard.

No one answered, people pretended to look away easily, Jiang Han pulled him up and pushed him towards the door: "Don't worry about nosy things, don't ask." ”

Xu Xiucai struggled to turn around, looked at Xiao An with an apologetic face, and then looked at Yun Niang, who was scared out of the house by the exclamation, and asked in disbelief, "Is this to prevent me?" Do you know I'm coming today? ”

He only arrived in the afternoon, and in order to avoid people's eyes, he deliberately chose to come to the door after dark.

Could it be that Yunniang hated him too much, secretly inquired about his whereabouts, and instigated her little ruffian cousin to set a trap in advance?

Xu Xiucai's amorous words made Jiang Han laugh out loud: "Xiucai, I really admire your skill in putting gold on your face, just you, but it is not our turn to face the enemy." ”

"And what are you doing here?" Xu Xiucai didn't want to talk to Jiang Han, his hand clasped the door frame, and stared at Xiao An, "Anji, you come to tell Mr., what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao An glanced at Jiang Han, bit his lip and groaned, and after a while, he said decisively to Jiang Han: "It's okay to tell Mr., if there is really anything, he can also be a little guarded." ”

Although Xu Xiucai did something insulting to his sister, Xiao An was still grateful for his careful teaching that month.

Moreover, he did not think that what Jiang Han said, "It is not appropriate to publicize it in a big way, so as not to disturb the people's minds, and cause trouble if there is nothing to do", is completely correct.

Jiang Han rolled his eyes, and secretly said that Xiao Anxin was soft, but he still said to Xu Xiucai with a tiger face: "If you promise not to spread the word, I will tell you." ”

Xu Xiucai's face was full of suspicion: "It depends on what it is, if it hurts the heavens and reason, I can't agree." ”

"You're sick in the head, who would set a trap at home and hurt the heavens and reason?" Jiang Han was speechless.

Xu Xiucai glanced at the people in the courtyard, there were a few new faces, but looking at his demeanor and dress, it seemed that he was a subordinate, he remembered what his cousin Wang said to him, and suddenly felt that he was too careful-the Jiang family is now in good shape, how can it destroy its future.

"Okay, you can say it."

Jiang Han nodded with satisfaction and explained: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I got the news that a large number of mountain bandits have descended the mountain, and I'm afraid that those people will ...... So make some arrangements at home in advance. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it, it's as simple as that, hehe, so, don't think about it, just be vigilant at night, with Lord Shen here, you won't let the thieves break into the town."

But after listening to this explanation, Xu Xiucai not only did not smile easily, but frowned, and asked keenly: "You just said that there are a large number of mountain bandits coming down the mountain, how many people are in large numbers?" And when did you get down the mountain? Where are you now? ”

Jiang Han said unhappily: "How do I know, anyway, you just have points in your heart." Hurry home and don't think it's dangerous to live across the street......"

"What if, the inspection department can't stop it?"

Xu Xiucai pressed the door panel, stopped Jiang Han from closing the door, and said something that made Jiang Han feel excited: "Danger is coming, how can your Jiang family be alone?" The public should be informed and everyone should take precautions. ”

Jiang Han nervously probed his head, looked at the neighbors left and right, and said in a low voice: "You be quiet, this is just speculation, don't make it look like the bandits are about to enter the town." Although there are many thieves, we have a city wall, and those people are ...... now" Jiang Han paused, and impatiently pushed Xu Xiucai again, "Anyway, let's be honest, don't make trouble for the people in the inspection department, it will be a new day when you get up tomorrow morning." ”

But Xu Xiucai is not a person who is easy to fool.

He has just been lifted, and it is the time when he is full of spirit and responsibility.

In the current crisis, as a promising young man who is about to enter his career, how can he put people in danger without knowing it? Something had to be done to show that he cared for the people.

At this moment, he had long forgotten the purpose of knocking on the door of the Jiang family, and he only felt that his whole body was bulging with awe-inspiring righteousness - he had to do something about it.

But Jiang Han didn't care about him, pushed him to the threshold, and stretched out his hand to close the door.

Xu Xiucai struggled, forced one foot in the threshold, supported the door panel with both hands, and shouted: "Jiang Xiaoer, you are simply ignorant!" He gasped and tried to stand firm, "Those people are outlaws, how do you know that they will not take risks and take advantage of the night to storm in the middle of the night?" ”

Seeing that his voice was getting higher and higher, Jiang Han hurriedly let go of the door and pulled him in again.

"You guy...... I really regret telling you! ”

But Xu Xiucai dodged her hand, retreated to the door, and said righteously: "I want to inform everyone, if the inspection department can't hold it, and the mountain bandits attack in, the townspeople can also ......."

"What? A mountain bandit has invaded? A frightened loud voice overshadowed Xu Xiucai and resounded over Zhupai Alley, "This, how is this good?" It's getting dark, where are we hiding? ”

Jiang Han secretly screamed badly.

Sure enough, after a series of chaotic noises of doors opening, the neighbors all poked their heads out and looked into the alley.

"What? The mountain bandits have come in? Where's it going? What shall we do? ”

Immediately afterwards, the panicked and chaotic discussion spread around the Jiang family.

Jiang Han looked at the culprit Wang with black lines on his head.

Why don't you think she's such a person who is easily startled?

At this point, she hurriedly walked to the middle of the alley and said to the neighbors with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Aunt Wang listened to the errand, and the mountain bandits didn't come in." We have to believe Lord Shen, if you are worried, ...... tonight"

But Xu Xiucai's reaction was also very fast, he stood in front of Jiang Han, hugged his fists at the neighbors, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, my surname is Xu, I am a person from the new imperial examination this year, and there are countless thieves outside the town at present, you must close the door tonight and be vigilant." Everyone, please rest assured, I will go to the Inspection Department to discuss countermeasures with Lord Shen, and please calm down and don't mess around. ”
