Chapter 32: The Return
readx;? The afternoon sun was very fierce, basking in the mountains and forests, steaming up a miasma of rotting leaves, and even insects and beasts were dormant. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
On the path down the mountain, a simple carriage jolted like a flat boat on the waves, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Tang Chong sat on the wheel, and he didn't dare to drive the old horse, as if he was worried that the old horse would be whipped to death.
Yang Jing and Xia Zhi were like being stuffed into a can, and then the can was thrown onto the long stairs, covered in stinky sweat, like salted fish in a can.
Yang Jing also understood in his heart that Old Man Lu asked Tang Chong to follow him, in addition to worrying about his safety, he was also worried that Yang Jing would take the opportunity to escape and would not return to the village to be angry.
However, Yang Jing is a person with clear grievances, he knows that the old man is out of kindness, and he also knows that Tang Chong has always taken good care of him, so naturally he will not refuse.
Along the way, he was also thinking about the information he got from Lu Baiyu, and he didn't expect that the key turned out to be Peng Liancheng's!
He still remembered that Li Wanniang's brother-in-law Cao Enrong once accused, saying that there was an unclear relationship between men and women between Li Wanniang and Peng Liancheng, and now Li Wanniang and Peng Liancheng each hold a key, even if there is no ambiguous adultery, the two must have a common secret!
As for what the key is used for, Lu Baiyu is not very clear, she also sneaked into Peng's mansion to save people, was noticed by Peng Liancheng, and in a hurry, he knocked Peng Liancheng unconscious, and wanted to leave, but the person did not fail, so he groped around on him, and found that the key was a personal collection, and he only felt that it should be something important, so he took it.
Although Lu Baiyu said this, Yang Jing would not believe it all, Lu Baiyu must know something inside, and the origin of this key is not just what she said, if it is just so simple, then she will not tear off this key when she falls off the cliff, and she is unwilling to let Yang Jing search it.
From the experience of the past two days, Yang Jing has gradually understood the woman Lu Baiyu, maybe she is a ruthless and unscrupulous woman, but she is a qualified sister, in order to protect her sister, she does not hesitate to take risks, and she does not hesitate to be ruthless to Yang Jing!
So at this time, she hid the inside story about the key, and she should also protect Lu Yueniang, after all, Lu Yueniang used to be the Peng family's worship Gu Master, and she must know a lot of secrets, otherwise the Peng family would not want to kill her.
In order to protect this sister, Lu Baiyu even revealed a message to Yang Jing, and this news also confirmed Yang Jing's guess.
The reason why Lu Yueniang gave Li Wanniang a trick was naturally because she was coerced by the Peng family, but Li Wanniang couldn't speak, and Yang Jing didn't know who the murderer was behind the scenes, and according to the situation revealed by Lu Baiyu, Lu Yueniang was actually instructed by Yan Lichun!
This is also reasonable, Lu Yueniang is responsible for protecting Yan Lichun in the Peng family, and Yan Lichun is an arrogant and jealous woman, even outsiders think that Li Wanniang and Peng Liancheng have an adulterous relationship, as a wife, how can Yan Lichun not know.
In this era of men with three wives and four concubines, if it is placed in an ordinary family, it is not a big deal for the male owner to go out and steal a fishy, but who is Yan Lichun?
She is the cousin of Yan Guifei, the most favored concubine in the dynasty, many people use her to slap this concubine Niangniang, she doesn't read much, once she gets rich, she will naturally become more demanding, and become more domineering.
But as previously worried, the local officials all wanted to use Yan Lichun to appease Yan Guifei, and it is intriguing whether Yang Zhi County in Baling County would be the same.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing also somewhat understood why Yang Zhixian and Song Ci did not make a noise, but chose to secretly carry out an investigation, Yan Guifei is now hot, and they are not 100% sure, and they dare not touch Yan Lichun.
Thinking so in his heart, Yang Jing also felt a little depressed, such things were not strange in ancient officialdom, otherwise there would not have been so many unjust, false and wrongful cases.
"Hey..." Yang Jing sighed lightly and stretched her waist, only to find that the summer solstice girl had been silent and worried.
Although Xia Zhi didn't give Li Wanniang a trick in the end, she still couldn't stand the coercion after all, and almost made a big mistake, now that her family is dead, even if the Cao family is willing to accept her, I'm afraid that life will not be easy, after all, she is a teenage girl, although she is precocious, she is inevitably confused and overwhelmed.
Yang Jing didn't know how to comfort her, so he gently patted her shoulder and smiled at her.
Xia Zhi raised his head and barely squeezed out a smile, but he couldn't hide the apprehension in his heart.
Yang Jing originally wanted to ask Tang Chong what was the reason for Yun Gou'er's usual behavior that made Lu Yueniang and Sister Lu Baiyu hate him to the core, but Tang Chong seemed to be entrusted and always avoided talking about it, so Yang Jing stopped pursuing it.
The road was bumpy, and when he arrived at Baling County, the sun had already set, Yang Jing reported his identity, and the door was slightly startled, and hurriedly went back to Tongyu, and the head-catcher Wang Dou walked out after a short time.
"Brother Wang!"
Seeing that Wang Dou was safe and sound, Yang Jing was also relieved, after all, there was a tribulation, seeing that Yang Jing and Xia Zhi were fine, Wang Dou was also surprised: "Brother Yang!"
"Are the poor masters all right?" Yang Jing hurriedly asked.
Wang Dou replied with a smile: "Brothers, there is no big problem, Brother Yang will go with me to meet Lord Zhixian." ”
As soon as Wang Dou spoke, he saw Tang Chong standing on the side of the carriage at the bottom of the steps, and couldn't help but be vigilant, that day it was Tang Chong and Zhou Nanchu who were ruthless to him and his brothers!
Yang Jing only reacted at this time, but he forgot about this stubble, and immediately wanted to explain, but he didn't know that Wang Dou just snorted coldly, and he didn't let people come out to arrest Tang Chong, thinking that Song Ci had already asked people to say hello to the county government.
Yang Jing also needed to take into account the feelings of others, so he said to Tang Chong: "Brother Tang will find a place to stay first, and come to pick me up later." ”
Tang Chong nodded expressionlessly, and was about to drive away, but heard Wang Dou say: "Brother Yang, don't break the bank, there is a place to live in the yamen, just settle here, let him... Let him in through the back door. ”
Wang Dou's reaction also made Yang Jing a little stunned, and he was about to resign, but he heard Wang Dou continue: "Brother Yang, don't shirk, although the brothers have suffered, but the magistrate said not to pursue it, so... Let him in. ”
Yang Jing thought that since Song Ci had talked to Old Man Lu, and there was Jiangling Mansion's secret agent Su Xiuji to testify, the suspicions of Lu Yueniang, Tang Chong and others should have been cleared, and he was immediately relieved.
However, Wang Dou still reminded: "After all, the brothers are still a little angry, and their faces may not be too good-looking..."
This Wang Dou is also an honest man, he is also a victim, and he was also injured by Tang Chong and Zhou Nanchu, but he didn't mention himself, it can be seen that the stomach is still there, and Yang Jing can't help but admire.
Tang Chong is a taciturn person, Zhou Nanchu sneered at him, he can endure five or six drinks, and it is nothing to give some face.
"This is also excusable, another day, the younger brother will ask you to catch a good meal for your brother, and make amends to you, and please take care of it more..."
Wang Dou saw Yang Jing's low profile, and the resentment in his heart disappeared, pointed out the direction of the back door to Tang Chong, and took Yang Jing to the back office.
Yang Jing originally wanted to go to Li Wanniang, but Wang Dou said that Yang Zhixian wanted to see him, so he handed over the herbs to Xia Zhi, and asked her to go to the courtyard of the Cao family first, take a look at Li Wanniang's situation, and boil Chinese medicine in advance.
Yang Jing and Wang Dou sat in the flower room for a while, and Yang Zhixian, who was wearing civilian clothes, arrived, Yang Jing hurriedly stood up and saluted, Yang Zhixian waved his hand and sat down.
"Yang Xian's nephew is safe and sound, and the official is also at ease, so Cao's affairs, I still have to worry about the nephew, what is the need, just mention it. ”
Li Wanniang was almost killed in the county office, and almost became a stain on Yang Zhixian's career, if Li Wanniang can't be saved, and finally dies, it will affect Yang Zhixian's performance assessment, which has become a heart disease in Yang Zhixian, and he is naturally full of joy when he sees Yang Jing come back.
Yang Jing came back this time to use Li Wanniang as a breakthrough to investigate the truth of the case, and with Yang Zhixian's statement, he was a lot more relieved, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "I will do my best in the future." ”
Yang Zhixian had seen Yang Jing rescue Li Wanniang with his own eyes, this kind of means of bringing the dead back to life, he had never heard of it, and he was also overjoyed to hear Yang Jing agree, and hurriedly asked Wang Dou to settle Yang Jing down.
Yang Zhixian asked about the ambush in Sunset Xia Village again, Yang Jing mentioned Song Ci without a trace, Yang Zhixian heard Yang Jing personally confirm that he had a friendship with Song Ge, so he was relieved, and went back to rest after a few words of greeting.
Yang Jing was worried about Li Wanniang's situation, so he came to the courtyard of the Cao family, Wang Dou instructed the handymen to clean up the room for Yang Jing and Tang Chong, so he took Zhang Zheng and came to the courtyard of the Cao family to find Yang Jing.
Although it was found out that Li Wanniang was tricked, it is an indisputable fact that Cao Enrong wanted to harm Li Wanniang, the whereabouts of the eldest son are unknown, and the second son is waiting for a lawsuit, and he can only live in the yamen, as if under house arrest, the Cao family is also gloomy.
However, after Yang Jing entered the courtyard, Mrs. Cao greeted her, and even the cold and stern Old Man Cao smiled at Yang Jing rarely, but the smile was more ugly than crying.
Yang Jing also muttered in his heart, if he hadn't found out that Hu Tao was the cause, he would not have brought out Cao Enrong's crime, it can be said that Yang Jing sent Cao Enrong to prison, and the Cao family should hate him Yang Jing.
"Brother Yang, the life of our Wanniang depends on Mr!" Old Madam Cao held Yang Jing's hand tightly, but she stuffed a money bag into Yang Jing's hand.
Yang Jing became more and more stunned, but looking at Mrs. Cao's tears in her eyes, she couldn't fake it, and she couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and in this case, Yang Jing would not be able to accept her money.
"Although Yang is not talented, he also knows a little about medical skills, and it is his duty to save lives and help the injured, and the old lady doesn't have to be like this..."
The old man of the Cao family saw that Yang Jing refused to accept it, and also persuaded on the side: "Brother Yang, you can accept it, this is also the heart of my Cao family, if you don't accept it, this old woman can't sleep tonight, just accept it..."
Yang Jing also knows the rules here, and slowly said that Wang Dou and other officials are lowly and lowly to do things, and they also have many names such as hand money and hand-washing money, and the yamen is a place where there is no money to enter, and the relationship between the affairs and the relationship makes the silver, and the people are exchanged, these are unwritten rules, if they resolutely do not accept it, but let the Cao family not feel at ease, they will accept it.
He also doesn't want to be angry in Miao Village, he wants to come out and live independently, it is difficult to move an inch without money, it is also a fact that he saved Li Wanniang, and it is not too much to collect some money.
"In that case, I'll go first to see how the eldest lady is doing. Yang Jing bowed his hand slightly, and was about to enter the door, but he heard Mrs. Cao ask: "Brother Yang, if my hard-working daughter-in-law can speak, can I let the summer solstice girl inform the old body as soon as possible? The old body has something I want to ask her..."
Yang Jing nodded subconsciously, and only when he stepped into the door did he feel that something was wrong!
