Chapter 81: Complicity
readx;? At this time, the courtyard gate had been opened, and it was staggered and creaked by the strong wind, and the sound of talking was in the courtyard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked through the open courtyard door without a trace at night, and there was a middle-aged man in a long shirt in front of the door of the downstairs house, holding an oilcloth umbrella in his hand. The man frowned slightly, watching the endless storm talking loudly to the people in the room.
In the dazzling lightning, Ye Wuxian recognized that this person was the great butler of the Yan Mansion. On the stormy night of the last revenge, it was this butler who went to the living Hades with an oilcloth umbrella to report the search and arrest, so that Ye Wuxian confirmed the enemy's residence. Unexpectedly, on tonight's stormy night, the housekeeper came here in the rain again, there must be something important to report to the master, needless to say, Yan Jiawang lives in this small building.
What a coincidence, when there was no hope of finding the enemy without a trace at night, the housekeeper came to be a "guide" again, which was surprising and a little incredible. The prey is in front of him, the "lion" is secretly happy in his heart, and the hanging heart falls to the ground, it seems that this revenge must be very smooth, and the hatred and anger that have been suppressed for more than ten years immediately burned.
Ye Wuxian looked around, only to find that he had passed by here twice, and he didn't even pay attention to this inconspicuous courtyard. Also, it is surprising that the dignified master of the Yan Mansion lives in this old warehouse-like house. He understood that the old thief had moved to this "warehouse" to hide in case he came again without a trace, to be preserved. He gritted his teeth and snorted angrily, the fire of hatred was surging and rising, and he also had disdain, the old thief hid here to save the dog's life, it was really whimsical, but it was just a different place to be buried. His anxious emotions calmed down, and his heart was full of hope, don't look at Yan Jiawang is still alive for the time being, the enemy's dog life is already in his hands, and he will definitely die. He leaned over quietly, listening carefully to the conversation between the master and servant inside and outside the house, hoping to get some useful information from it.
The housekeeper said, "Master, I have seen Lord Zhixian, and my lord still greets him." ”
The person in the house responded: "Okay, the magistrate still has a friendship!"
"Yes, the relationship between the lord and the adult is not ordinary, no one can compare. The housekeeper whispered to himself again, "Hmph, the magistrate doesn't like silver, and for the sake of money, he can't be without friendship." ”
Ye Wuxian heard the familiar voice coming from the house, and even more determined that it was the enemy of the living Hades, and his handsome face welled up with anger, full of confidence and ready to act. The "lion" did not immediately pounce, fearing that the butler's shouting would alarm Yan Jiawang and make the enemy guard or flee. He was already eager to try, ready to pounce on his enemies and demand his life.
Yan Jiawang's words came out: "Butler, have you asked Lord Zhixian, does that kid without a trace have any news?" There was longing in his voice, and he was even more anxious and uneasy, he was eager to hear the results of the arrest of the murderer.
"Master, I asked, there is no news for the time being, the magistrate is also very anxious, he has been chasing for so long and has not been seen, I don't know where the kid is hiding. The housekeeper comforted, "Don't worry, master, he almost died last time, and he was already so frightened that he fled, how dare he come to Yan Mansion to make trouble again, isn't he looking for death." ”
Yan Jiawang didn't see it that way, he felt terrible when he thought of the fierce and vicious night without a trace, and his heart was uneasy. He knew very well that Ye Wuxian and the Yan family had a common hatred, and he would never stop, and sooner or later he would come to him to ask for his parents' lives. He told the butler not to be careless, the enemy must be hiding and waiting for the opportunity, and he must strengthen his vigilance, and never give the boy the slightest chance.
Yan Jiawang had already learned the fierceness and horror of the night without a trace, and hoped that he could get rid of the descendants of the enemy family as soon as possible, so that he could settle down. Today, he asked the housekeeper to rush to the county seat, just to ask the county to increase the number of troops and generals, and to step up the search and arrest without a trace. This is a boulder in his heart, which is so pressed that it is difficult to breathe, and must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a big mess and even death. The housekeeper was delayed because of the wind and rain, and only returned to the Yan Mansion after dark, and ran to report to the master before he could eat. Yan Jiawang was anxiously waiting for the result and asked the housekeeper what news he had.
The housekeeper immediately announced: "The magistrate of the county agrees, and tomorrow he will dispatch manpower to step up the search, so don't worry." He snorted again, "The magistrate has got the master's silver taels, can you not work hard." ”
When the living Hades heard this, he also sighed: "Yes, people die for money, birds die for food, and money can make ghosts grind, it is indeed true." ”
Ye Wuxian secretly hated in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the dog official was so supportive of the enemy, no wonder the living king of Hades was unscrupulous in his murder. As an official of the imperial court, the magistrate does not enforce the law impartially and does things for the people, and even harbors and connives, and he should be killed!
At this time, the housekeeper spoke: "Master, the prefect said that he would give the silver to the prefect, and he should ask the prefect to supervise the counties to arrest the night without a trace." He also said many times that he was short of money and didn't know what he meant. ”
"Hmph, he is begging for silver in the name of the prefect, he is really greedy!" Yan Jiawang was very dissatisfied, and then sighed, "Okay, you will send another hundred taels in two days." ”
The housekeeper was taken aback when he heard this: "Ah, master, I just gave him two hundred taels today, and I still want to give it away? ”
"Well, it's all about it, that guy is fed all by silver. Forget it, since you want to give, it's better to give it early, otherwise he will be angry and will drag our affairs down. Listening to the voice, the living Hades were distressed and helpless, this kind of "friendship" bought with silver was unreliable.
The housekeeper sighed with emotion: "It's really better to have money than power, as long as you move your mouth, a lot of silver will come." He frowned, and then asked, "Master, the magistrate gave the two hundred taels to the prefect, and only gave him one hundred taels, is it a little less, will it make him unhappy? If we delay our affairs because of this, the silver will be wasted." ”
Yan Jiawang was immediately dissatisfied, and scolded: "Don't listen to that dog official's nonsense, he won't give the silver in his hand to the prefect, even if he does, he can only send a part, and give him another hundred taels and a lot." Besides, he flattered his boss for his own sake and had nothing to do with our affairs, so why bother with him. As soon as he finished speaking, a few sighs came from inside the room.
The housekeeper shook his head, and sighed, a little indignant, the county magistrate flattered his boss, not all the money he had looted, naturally including Yan's, even if it was to bribe his boss, wouldn't Yanfu have to give it. The master of the county can't manage it, and he can't manage it, so what the master says, anyway, the silver is not his own, and he doesn't feel distressed about how much he sends, but he is just a little greedy.
In this regard, Yan Jiawang deeply feels that those corrupt officials are like bottomless boxes, and they will never be satisfied. Silver is the meat of his heart, how can he give it to others, he has to do it for the sake of his life. He is indeed very helpless, he can only give up, and now he urgently needs the county to work hard for the Yan Mansion, and getting rid of the descendants of the enemy family is a top priority, and it must be done as soon as possible. He knows very well how important it is to rely on the government government, and the Yan Mansion will have to rely on the magistrate to support him in the future, so he can't feed that guy without money, and he also has his own needs.
The living Hades became fierce again, and vowed to make up for the silver taels. He asked the housekeeper to prepare quickly, and if the weather was good tomorrow, he would go to Lianhu Village to collect the debts, so that those poor ghosts would have the money to repay the money, and those who had no money would pay off the debts with things, and if there was nothing valuable, they would arrest people, and the men would work as coolies for the Yan family, and the women would sell them to pay off the debts. As the saying goes, the wool comes out of the sheep, and he not only wants to make a big profit, but also to make a mess of the enemy's hometown to vent the hatred in his heart.
Night Without a Trace accidentally heard the sinister heart of the Living Hades, and couldn't help but be startled, and extremely angry, and the handsome face immediately distorted and stiffened, overflowing with terrible anger. He secretly swore that he must get rid of this devil tonight, and he must not be allowed to live until tomorrow, otherwise the villagers will suffer greatly.
