"Thank you, Painter Ji, thank you...... Miss Pei. Miao Niangzi settled down and thanked Heng Yu and Pei Wushuang gratefully.

"It's just a matter of effort." Heng Yu glanced at the direction in which those people left, and didn't ask much, only reminded: "It's just that if the matter is not settled as soon as possible, these people will definitely not stop there-"

Miao Niangzi's expression was complicated: "Master Ji reminded me that debts always have to be repaid, and in the final analysis, it is the younger brother in the family who is not ......angry."

The family is ugly, and she didn't complain in detail: "I will let the family deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”

Hengyu nodded, didn't say anything else, looked at the mess, and then instructed the coachman: "Uncle Qiao, help the shopkeeper Miao clean up the things." ”

The coachman stepped forward.

On the other side, the group of unsuccessful debt collectors came to the end of the street, and the young man in the alley who was watched by two strong men left and right hurriedly smiled nervously and asked, "Brother Zhao, the money is cleared, right?" ”

"Clean your mother's head!"

The leader kicked the man in the stomach: "...... Your broom sister Xing didn't get in, and she also pulled the girl from the assassination mansion as a backer, causing the brothers to almost get into trouble! You turtle species, you have played tricks on our brothers! ”

"This ...... What, what? I...... Brother Zhao, where do I dare to play tricks with you! The man gritted his teeth in pain, listened half-understood, and saw that the other party was about to smash his fist, so he hurriedly hugged his head and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Brother Zhao, you dissipate your anger!" Three-day ...... Within three days, I will pay it back!" ”

"Three days?!"

Another heavy kick landed on the shoulder.

The man was kicked to the ground and changed his words in a trembling voice: "No, one day...... Just one day! ”

The other party spat fiercely: "Grandma's, I'll give you one last day!" ”

……

In front of a house built against the back of the street, Cheng Ping took the list handed by a charcoal seller and looked at it carefully for a moment, frowned and asked, "No, how can it be two percent more than the price negotiated before?" ”

The charcoal seller took a step closer, lowered his voice, and hinted, "You misunderstood, didn't you?" This list is for you to show to the host's family...... In these two percent, how can you also have one percent...... Your master is generous, where is this bit of silver? ”

Cheng Ping's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said in a cold and hard tone: "However, no one's silver is blown by the wind." ”

The charcoal seller laughed dryly, and couldn't help but whisper: "...... It is true that the money of others is not, but isn't it the wind that blows from your master's house? ”

He had already figured out who bought this house, and naturally he had heard about the deeds of this little lady from the capital who had recently gone and won.

It can even be said that this mansion was simply taken from the people of their Yingzhou!

Cheng Ping was silent for a moment.

It's also true......

"If you want to do business for a long time, put away these crooked thoughts as soon as possible, and you are not the only place to buy charcoal in the city." He still solemnly stuffed the list back into the other party's hands.

"This ......" the charcoal seller choked, but he quickly laughed: "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to go back and rewrite a copy and send it to you!" ”

Cheng Ping ignored it no longer, and when he turned around to walk into the courtyard, he keenly heard the sound of a carriage approaching here, so he stopped for a moment.

After a while, a carriage came and stopped in front of the house.

Looking at the girl who walked down from the car, Cheng Ping raised his hand expressionlessly and saluted: "Girl." ”

"Uncle Ping has worked hard lately."

Hengyu walked into the courtyard with Pei Wushuang, and while looking at the furnishings in the courtyard, he sighed: "Sure enough, Uncle Mo Ruoping, who knows me, this brick and tile, grass and tree, seems to be made according to the scenery in my heart." ”

Cheng Ping, who was following her, twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

Hengyu didn't mind his indifference, and came to the front hall all the way with great interest, pointing to the coffee table and saying, "There is still a pair of jade bottles missing here...... By the way, Uncle Ping, is the silver still enough? ”

Cheng Ping heard a stirring spirit: "Enough." ”

If he didn't say enough, the next moment she was afraid that she would turn her head and plunge into the gambling house to "take" a bunch of them back!

Oh, he didn't mean to sympathize with the gamblers—

It's just that every time I pay the money these days, I always feel that the money is coming from the wrong way, and I always feel my conscience is uneasy when I use it.

"That's good." Hengyu bent down slightly, gently fiddling with the pine scenery in the basin on the side, and said to Cuihuai with a smile: "Go and tell Aunt Jiang that you can let the Meng family come to the door." ”

Her family's Jiji marriage, three books and six ceremonies, and marriage regulations are all indispensable.

At this moment, Ji Ji was being detained by Jiang Media to preview the marriage process.

On the other hand, Meng Dazhu was also busy at home, and he was specially allowed by Xiao Mu a few days earlier, so he didn't have to come to the Hou Mansion to stay overnight.

After Heng Yu returned to the Hou Mansion, a figure quickly came to the outside of Xiao Mu's study.

"Enter."

With permission, Wang Jingyong pushed the door in and closed the door from the inside.

Xiao Mu sat behind the bookcase, accompanied by Yin Hai and Liu Xun.

What a few people said was a matter of food and salary in the military camp, Xiao Mu looked at the accounts in his hand, and after the audit with Liu Xun was completed, he looked at Wang Jingyong.

Wang Jingyong said with a straight face: "Back to the general, today the painter Ji went out to the new house in the south of the city, and he has not been in contact with suspicious people. It's just that on the way there, I happened to encounter a shop that was forced to pay a debt by a group of people from a gambling house, and those people smashed it. ”

Hearing the words "suppressing people with power", Xiao Mu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he casually opened a fold of official documents, without raising his head, as if asking casually: "Oh? She's bluffing people with Benhou's name again—"

Wang Jingyong explained: "This time, Miss Pei Jia was pushed to come forward. ”

Xiao Mu flipped through the official document and paused.

Why the sudden change?

If it weren't for Yin Hai's vigilance the moment he heard "Miss Pei's Family", he would have been able to keenly capture his general's confusion and introspection at this moment.

"When did Master Ji get along with Miss Pei's family?" Liu Xun asked curiously.

Speaking of which, under the persecution of his wife, he now has a deep understanding of Ji painters.

"......" this question, Wang Jingyong only felt that he could not answer.

It is said that he can be regarded as staring at the every move of the painter Ji in front of people every day, but he doesn't know when she had a relationship with Miss Pei Jia, and it has developed to such an intimate point.

It can be seen that this person is really not to be underestimated......

"The matter between the painter Ji and Miss Pei is indeed strange, this move must have some intentions, the general can rest assured, his subordinates will find out this matter as soon as possible!" Wang Jingyong solemnly assured.

As soon as these words came out, the other three were silent.

Xiao Mu had no choice but to say clearly: "I don't have any doubts about her now, and there is no need to investigate her private affairs." ”

Wang Jingyong looked at his general in confusion: "...... Why did the general deliberately name his subordinates to secretly follow Ji Huashi? ”

"Your job is to keep her safe."

The person sitting upright behind the case finished speaking, and added without distractions: "She is a person sent by the imperial court, and it is already an eventful season, and Yingzhou should not make waves again - in addition, you only need to let people keep an eye on the escorts of the matchmakers." ”

Wang Jingyong was silent for a moment before answering "yes".

Therefore, his task is to protect the safety of a little lady.

is full of just want to fight on the battlefield, and those who have made meritorious contributions and promotions only feel that they have suddenly tied their hands and feet and become a little girl's personal mother-in-law.

"Jing Yong, why don't you talk about the process of Ji painter coming forward to stop the debt collector?" The heart of the Yin Hai gossip immortally proposed.

Wang Jingyong glanced at him.

However, when he turned his head, he saw that his general was looking at him, and he had already made a gesture of waiting to listen.

“……”

Wang Jingyong was forced to be patient, and he will be explained.

"You're talking about Miao Ji Bun Shop?!" Liu Xun stood up suddenly.

Wang Jingyong looked at him strangely and nodded.

"That Miao shopkeeper is injured!" Liu Xun's face was nervous.

"I haven't noticed, I shouldn't have not."

Liu Xun left from behind the low table and saluted Xiao Mu: "General, my subordinates want to go out of the house——"

Xiao Mu bowed: "Yes." ”

Liu Xun hurriedly said goodbye and left.

That level of tension is that Wang Jingyong saw it, and he had to say more: "Lord Liu Bo inevitably loves the house and Wu too much." ”

Yin Hai looked at him with some novelty: "Oh? What do you say about Aiwu and Wuyi? ”

"In order to eat a bite of steamed buns, I was nervous that the shopkeeper of the steamed bun shop was here-" There was a hint of disapproval between Wang Jingyong's resolute eyebrows.

Yin Hai fell silent.

What was he expecting......

Another voice sounded from behind the book: "Is it possible that the cause and effect relationship in this may be reversed?" ”

Xiao Mu looked at Wang Jingyong as he spoke, as if he was a little puzzled why there were people in the world who were so unenlightened.

Yin Hai suddenly laughed "ha".

Does the general know that the elm pimple that he is puzzled about at this time is just yesterday's self?

Well, it was yesterday......

It's not what it used to be!

Sure enough, there is only one way in this world that can make people quickly enlighten their minds-

Catching up with the scrutinizing eyes of his own general, Yin Hai became more and more unbearable, and laughed out loud again.

Until a moment later—

Xiao Mu stretched out his hand and pointed out the door.

Yin Hai got out with some interest.

"Deputy General Yin's job today is to guard the door again?" A quarter of an hour later, Yan Junshi came to see Xiao Mu.

"There is no other way to get the general's love." Yin Hai put his hands into his sleeves and sighed.

Yan Junshi was invited into the study and held a letter in front of Xiao Mu: "Letter from the capital, please take a look at it." ”

Xiao Mu took it and pulled out the letter paper and unfolded it.

After seeing it, it was handed over to Yan Junshi.

When Yan Junshi threw the letter into the charcoal basin, he quickly read the contents of it, and then lowered his voice and said: "Jiang Zhengfu is now repeatedly pointing the spearhead at the general in the DPRK...... Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reasonable for a while, but at such a critical time as the saint was seriously ill, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the repeated instigation of everyone...... The urgency of the situation between Yingzhou and the general is getting worse day by day. ”

"This feeling of pressing step by step may be what someone wants you and me to feel-" Xiao Mu's gaze fell on the charcoal basin.

Yan Junshi's eyes condensed slightly: "The general is suspicious ......"

"Forced to rebel."

Xiao Mu calmly spit out two words.

In the charcoal basin, the letter paper had been swallowed up by tongues of fire, and a cluster of fire still jumped unwillingly, reflected in the eyes in a flicker and dark, pulling him back to the fiery night eight years ago.
