Chapter 235: Decisiveness
Wang Shoubei was originally a member of the Yao family, but now he feels that he is a member of the military department, and it is more promising to follow Qian Jun, and he thought that Qian Jun was still in the courtyard, so he really obeyed the order and stuck to it.
Zhang Mao was so angry, he was a literati, and he had to command blindly, the combat power of the tax soldiers was not bad, but what made him toss was that he fought in the middle of the night, and he failed to break through the defensive line of the Wang garrison.
Qian Jun sneaked into Nangang City quietly and went directly to the prefect's yamen, and sure enough, Lao Du had the ability, took Wang Shoubei's confession, plus Qian Jun's bad deeds of Yu Wen secretly investigated, and controlled this guy.
In the second half of the night, under Qian Jun's threats and inducements and torture to extract confessions, Yu Wen confessed to many crimes of the Yao family brothers who tried to kill their lives and illegally gain power.
Of course, he tried his best to pick himself out, but Qian Jun could still find clues that the Yao family ate meat, Yu Wen followed the soup, and embezzled and took bribes.
A lie, you must have a thousand lies to fulfill the lie, Yu Wenduo said a lot of mistakes, when it was dawn, he was completely unable to parry, almost Qian Jun asked anything, he said anything.
Zhang Maosui tossed almost all night, and some of his subordinates climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard, but in addition to the servants or servants, there was no one in the main house, Wang Shoubei heard the news, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief, Zhang Maosui was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, almost fainted, he immediately led people to the prefect's yamen, originally wanted to write Nanhai Daotai in the text, slandered Wang Shoubei for accepting bribes, shielding tax evasion merchants, openly confronting the tax soldiers of the city, and begging to send troops over there to suppress it, who knew that as soon as he entered the yamen, he was pressed to the ground and tied up.
"Do you know who I am? Speaking out scares you to death, don't let it go quickly! Zhang Mao felt that something was wrong, and he wanted to die and struggle, so he shouted inwardly.
It was Wang Jie who tied him up, and seeing that he was still holding on at this time, he couldn't help but sneer: "Say it, who is it?" I haven't seen anyone scared to death. ”
"You are not from the prefect's yamen, who are you?" Zhang Maosui looked at Lao Du and couldn't help asking.
"Me, I'm the prefect's cousin."
Zhang Maosui couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and immediately came to life: "Let go of me, I am Yao Guangyuan's master Yao, and I am your prefect, and I am also respectful when I see me." ”
"What are you looking for the prefect?" Lao Du asked.
"I'll tell you you don't understand either." Zhang Maosui glanced at Lao Du with disdain, "Quickly untie the rope for me." ”
Lao Du didn't do anything, but said coldly: "Do you understand, don't bother you, my cousin said, today is an extraordinary time, let me guard the door tightly, and sometimes go inside to report to him to know, you don't say, don't blame me for not giving mercy, delaying things, don't rely on me when the time comes." ”
When Zhang Mao heard this, he thought that Yu Wen had arranged a soil hammer at the door that he didn't know anything, and he was even more angry, but he was very helpless, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "Wang Garrison actually led troops to confront the tax soldiers of the City Ship Division and disturbed the laws of the imperial court. ”
"Hey, aren't you Lord Yao's staff? Why are you in charge of the affairs of the city again? Lao Du said in surprise.
Zhang Mao stomped his feet angrily: "You don't have to be wordy, go and report quickly, saying that I am here." ”
"Who the hell are you? Why can the tax soldiers of the city be mobilized? My lord, why do you have to listen to you so much, don't make it clear, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. Lao Du still faced Zhang Maosui very seriously, and he had to say one, two, three.
Zhang Mao was so angry that his whole body was weak, so he had to explain: "I am Lord Yao's master, called Zhang Maosui, and took the tax soldiers of the city to arrest the profiteers, which is for Lord Yao, now, the matter is urgent, you go and inform me, otherwise, Lord Yao will blame it, don't say you and me, even the prefect Yu Wen, I can't eat and walk around." ”
"Oh, you wait!"
Lao Du took out a piece of paper from the gatehouse, Zhang Mao looked at it, and it was the conversation between him and Lao Du just now.
"You sign it, I'll show it to my cousin, so I don't have to say it clearly."
Zhang Maosui knew that if he signed this word, he was likely to give the other party a mouthful, but he really underestimated Lao Du, thinking that he was a raw melon and egg who had never seen the world, a turtle that had just run out of the countryside, Yu Wen asked him to guard the door, because he wanted to reward him with a mouthful of food, and he was afraid that this guy would not be able to hold the door, so he would let people in casually, so there would be such cumbersome procedures, so he twisted his body: "Help me loosen the tie!" ”
Lao Du was quick this time, and Zhang Mao shook his numb arm while signing his name on the paper.
Lao Du Xizizi took the confession and said to Zhang Maosui: "You wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”
Zhang Maosui wanted to follow in, but was blocked by another person who walked out of the porter: "Wait a minute, the master agrees, and naturally people will pass the word." ”
Zhang Mao retreated with the man, but it turned out to be like pushing against a stone wall, the other party didn't move, but he couldn't help but take a step back.
This person is not tall, his clothes are not conspicuous, and his face is not even so clever and intelligent, but he has the appearance of Tutu, but he has practiced martial arts, Zhang Mao feels very strange in his heart, could it be that Yu Wen, a stupid person, and this kind of foresight, today's Menzi actually arranged a nursing home? Still is......
Thinking of the confession he signed just now, Zhang Mao was a little weak in his heart, thirty-six plans to go as the upper plan, in case he was placed under house arrest by Yu Wen, everything would be over, Zhang Mao thought that he jumped too much to write, he personally went to find the Taotai, and he would definitely be able to succeed, the face of the master Yao Guangyuan, in the Jurong Dynasty, it was not ordinary, and he expected that even the governor of the South China Sea would not dare to refuse.
Wang Jie saw Zhang Mao turn around and walk out, and stretched out his hand to block the front: "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll see if the coachman and carriage outside are still there." Zhang Mao casually talked nonsense.
"No, didn't you send them away as soon as you came?"
"Where do I have?" Zhang Mao was shocked, and before he could say anything, Wang Jie had already pulled his arm, picked up the rope that he had just thrown on the ground, and tied him up again three times and two times.
"You-"
"You save it, death is on the verge of death, what are you still rampant."
On Qian Jun's side, the progress was very smooth, Wen Jin was very peaceful with the child, and the first day was also very peaceful. In order not to cause trouble, the purchases on this day were all done with the help of the neighbors.
After coming for a few months, Wen Jin could only understand a few commonly used Nangang City dialects, so almost all the negotiations were handled by Sister-in-law Xiang. Sister-in-law Xiang is an important witness to the poisoning case, Wen Jin was afraid that she would be killed and killed, so she took her with her at such a tense juncture.
The first day was very peaceful, and the second day seemed to be very smooth, Sister-in-law Xiang was a diligent woman, she saw that the neighbor was an old couple, so she went over to pick up the food by herself, and as soon as she entered the door, she met Xia Yang.
"How did you get out?"
Seeing that Xia Yang's face was not good, Sister-in-law Xiang smiled wryly: "I'm idle and idle, and the uncle and aunt next door are not young-"
"I know you are diligent, but how can you disobey the words of your master? Do you know that the master is hiding from the disaster? ”
"No one knows us here." Sister-in-law Xiang is a country woman, and Wen Jin has always been kind, so she is a little unbelievable.
Xia Yang was so angry that he slapped him and hugged him, but fortunately Chunming came over to stop him.
"Sister-in-law, don't think that the master is kind, you can act recklessly. Do you know, if you go out casually today, it may bring about a catastrophe, not only for the master, but also for us. ”
Although Sister-in-law Xiang was frightened by Xia Yang and Chunming's momentum, she still didn't care in her heart.
Who knew that things were like this, as soon as Sister-in-law Xiang came out, someone went next door: "Second uncle, who was that woman just now?" ”
Uncle Chen next door has no children and no daughters, but there is a nephew Chen Erzi, in this era, there are nephews are not extinct, the old couple should have been raised by nephews, and the family property was finally inherited by nephews, but Uncle Chen, this nephew, is particularly unsuccessful, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, squandering the property left by his parents, he has to go to other places to mess around, seven or eight years did not come back, I don't know why, these days suddenly appeared in the village, he has no place to live, so he has to live in the Chen family ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.
Uncle Chen once let out a word, he didn't recognize this nephew, he died, and this belongings had to be returned to the clan, so when he saw the second son, he didn't have a good voice: "Who do you care about the woman just now?" Get out! ”
Although Sister-in-law Xiang is not a beautiful woman, but she is also neatly cleaned up, very clean and pleasing to the eye, Uncle Chen thought that the second son was a nymphomaniac again, and did not care, in the afternoon, Aunt Chen saw the second son patrolling at the gate next door, and told the old man, Uncle Chen only came out to blast his nephew away, and did not say a word to the next door.
The more Chen Erzi thought about it, the more he felt that Sister-in-law Xiang was the one who bought the longan that day, but he couldn't figure out why he suddenly appeared here, thinking that he had sold the longan once, and he had a reward of twenty taels of silver, Chen Erzi's heart couldn't help but move, he heard the sound of Sister-in-law Xiang talking to people at the gate, and became more and more sure that he was right, so he hurriedly ran to Nangang City.
Wen Jin's village is not far from Nangang City, and Chen Erzi entered the city when it was getting late and the city gate was not closed. He took the dragon's eye from a gangster named Li San at the time, and went directly to this person.
Li San relied on Yao's house to make a living, sometimes it was not easy to come forward to do things, all by him, he debuted at the age of twenty and began to mix, and there has been no improvement, until the past ten years, the Yao family has made a fortune, he has followed the rising tide, and now he also lives in a four-entry mansion, hugging before and after shouting, no one dares to mess with him in Nangang City.
The second son begged to see him at the door of Li's house, but was spit directly in his face by Menzi: "What's the matter, you dare to see our master." ”
"I really have something to do."
"What's the matter?"
“…… I can't say it, I really can only say it to Master Li. ”
"Get out!"
The second son is also mixed with society, and when he saw that he was rejected again and again, he felt a chord in his heart and threatened: "Hmph, how important my matter is, you can't guess it at all, if it's delayed, don't say that you can't hold your job as a doorman, it's just a head on your neck, maybe you have to move!" ”
Of course, the disciples of the Li family are not afraid, but at this time, there happened to be someone who had to be used by Li San coming out, and his son hurriedly shouted.
He didn't know what this person's name was, so he had to shout: "Sell longan-"
The man only knew that Li San was carrying a basket of dragons one day with mysterious eyes, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Erzi.
"I have something important to see Master Li."
The man hesitated for a moment, motioned for the second son to wait at the door, and he turned his head and went in to report.
Menzi glanced at the second son in surprise, and he puffed out his chest in a hurry.
"Little brother, this is a real person who doesn't show his face, he doesn't show his face, he doesn't show his face, when he sees Master Li, he will be a person." Changed to a disciple and a second son.
Chen Erzi raised his head, despised Menzi with the corner of his eyes, and snorted in his mouth: "I almost delayed the master's big event." ”
Menzi tried his best to tie the knot with a shy face, and at this moment, the messenger came out and called the second son in, and after about a quarter of an hour, Li San hurried out, got into the carriage and went east.
Yao Zhiyuan listened to Li San's report and was overjoyed, Zhang Mao was gone and never returned, making him restless, and he didn't know what to do: "If you catch the woman and child in that house, I'm not afraid that he won't give in." ”
Yao Wenyuan sighed with emotion: "God really loves our family." ”
"It's still the eldest brother who has the foresight and invited a master to look at feng shui, which must be blessed by the ancestors." Yao Zhiyuan corrected his younger brother.
Yao Wenyuan nodded again and again: "What you said is reasonable. ”
The Yao family has raised a group of thugs, not only Yao Chong, the man in black who provoked at the door of Qian's house that day.
Although Yao Chong was defeated that day, Yao Zhiyuan felt that he had seen Qian Jun and Wen Jin, and he still sent him on this day: "You test it first, don't catch the wrong person." ”
"Yes!" Yao Chong saw that he had done a bad job, but the master still trusted, and couldn't help but be moved, and knelt down and swore an oath: "The slave will do his best this time to live up to the love of the second master and the third master!" ”
Yao Wenyuan snorted: "If there is another bad pool, find a place to die by yourself, so that I don't have to pay for a coffin." ”
Yao Zhiyuan sang with a red face and a kind look: "You are a capable person, I believe that you will be victorious and successful." ”
"Second master!" Yao Chong burst into tears with excitement, "The minions are desperate to complete the task." ”
After dinner, Wen Jin and the two children frolicked for a while, then bathed them with the nurse, and then coaxed the children to sleep. The countryside is slightly cooler than Nangang City, the rattan mat is cool and smooth, Jin Jin played for an afternoon, fell asleep, Qian Qian is still small, slept for a while in the middle of the afternoon, this time pestering his mother and relatives to not let go, Wen Jin lay next to his son, by his little meat hand, pinched around on his arm, this is the habit of Qian Qian when he sleeps, if he doesn't pinch it, he won't sleep.
Soon, the child's snort became deep, Wen Jin was also a little sleepy, lying beside her son in a daze, I don't know how long, she faintly heard Xia Yang and Chunming talking, and woke up suddenly.
Wen Jin walked out of her son's room, asked the nurse to go in to take care of the child, and then returned to her room, sure enough, it was Xia Yang and Chunming talking, Xia Yang and his puffed cheeks seemed to be a little angry.
"What's the matter?"
Chunming didn't say anything, Xia Yang's mouth was fast, and he said angrily: "That sister-in-law, she looks very honest, who knew that when she first came to this village, she seduced an idler who wandered around our door for half an afternoon." ”
"How do you say that?" Wen Jin is a little strange, Sister-in-law Xiang is not the kind of frivolous woman, and her appearance is average, so she will not seduce a man so quickly.
"Uncle Wang said, that man is a thief and peeked into our yard."
Because there are few people and there is no porter, Wang Tiger's courage no longer sits at the door and guards the door full-time, but wanders around, patrolling, and he only sees Chen Erzi twice, so he still thinks he is a womanizer.
Wang Tiger is not a person who likes to rap, he felt that something was wrong, but he was afraid that he would catch the wind and make a big fuss, so he didn't dare to report it directly to Wen Jin, but he found a way to tell Xia Yang.
all know that Chunming has a tight mouth, and he won't say it if he is not sure, but Xia Yang can't bear it, and he is more reckless than Chunming.
Wen Jin didn't dare to take it lightly, so he called Wang Hu and asked in detail about the person's appearance and behavior, and he didn't think there was any problem. It's already dark, the children are sleeping, should they go, or stay here?
Wen Jin has never been a lucky person, she almost didn't hesitate, let Wang Hu call Chen Kai bravely: "If we change places, where else can we go?" ”
Chen Kai looked embarrassed: "There are still twenty miles to go, can we leave now?" ”
"Is there a place to go nearby?"
Chen Kai thought for a while: "There is an old ancestral hall in the Chen family that has been abandoned, and there are a few houses in the backyard that are still very good, so my wife can go there to take refuge." ”
Wen Jin thought for a while: "Let's drive the carriage, when we get to the entrance of the village, let's go down to the ancestral hall, and you send someone to continue walking." ”
"Good!" Chen Kai also followed Qian Jun for a short time, Wen Jin's trick, he understood it as soon as he heard it.
Wen Jin added: "You and Wang Tiger are still next door, if someone really comes, resist for a while and then withdraw, and give them a ** formation." ”
"This can't work, what if there's no one around you, wife?"
"If something really happens, the other party will never come with just a few people, even if you and Wang Hu are brave enough to guard us, it may not be safe."
Chen Kai felt that his wife was right, but he was still a little uneasy, and he hesitated for a while.
Wen Jin ordered: "Act quickly, it's too late to be late." ”
Chen Kai had no choice but to bow and go out to decorate, he likes to joke with people on weekdays, and at this time, he didn't forget to give some rice and dried vegetables in the kitchen to the uncle next door.
The old couple next door didn't understand why they were so mysterious, and they came and left at night, but the two didn't ask more, and only thanked Chen Kai again and again.
Three carriages whirled along the country road, attracting a burst of dog barking, to the abandoned ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, did not stop at the same time, there were always two to go, if you don't listen carefully, no one found Wen Jin and they got out of the car, they passed through a small door that staggered around, and went around the back of the Chen family ancestral hall. The furnishings here are very simple, fortunately there are two crunchy beds, one for Wen Jin and one for the two children, plus there is full preparation, a straw mat is spread on the ground, and then a mattress is placed to make a bunk, and then a mosquito net is erected. The rooms were limited, and several of the male servants set up mosquito nets in the yard, afraid of being exposed, and did not dare to light a fire, so that they would not have to feed the mosquitoes all night.
