Chapter Seventy-Three: Xiangzhou County Ya
Xu Xianling touched the mustache on his lips, frowned and said, "What's the situation, you slowly explained." ”
"Yes." Wang Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief, and told 1510 about how she was tied up and rescued.
I secretly looked around, only to see Xu Xian Ling sitting in front of the desk, listening very attentively. On his side, a person was dancing with his pen and ink, carefully recording. I remember that he paid me the last time I helped the county government perform an autopsy, so I quickly recognized him and ——— the county government's master Lin's book.
"That's what happened, if it weren't for Brother Jianghu going into danger alone to save me, I wouldn't know ......" Wang Jiajia said, sobbing in fear again.
"Okay, it's okay now. Where is the stolen money? ”
I was stunned, and my heart was about to drip blood, so I had to slowly take out the bag of silver and present it: "Here, ten taels of silver together." ”
Xu Xian Ling checked the silver, put it aside, and asked, "You said that the kidnapper is one of the candidates who gave Mu Niangzi a purse?" ”
Wang Jiajia nodded: "It was the kidnapper himself who said it, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Come on, go to the Jianghu Inn and ask Mu Niangzi to come over and ask questions."
"Yes."
I saw a servant trotting out, and I panicked. The red-faced ghost is obviously deliberately nonsense, who are the ten candidates who Mu Niangzi gave the purse, I know best: including me, they are all Tianyan secret agents, and they are all elite secret agents like the captain and vice captain.
I don't believe that any of these people would use such despicable means to obtain information about Mu Niangzi, in order to get to know her better, so as to better capture her heart.
Secret agents! There must be a fine work! Xiao Mu is right: Mu Niangzi asked for marriage, and she really took advantage of the chaos to start acting.
They should also be suspicious of Mu Niangzi's purpose for this marriage, so they wanted to get some news from Mu Niangzi, so they deliberately made a kidnapping trick.
The onlookers were bored and half of them dispersed, and some of them were busy talking about Mu Niangzi's marriage.
My heart went up and down, I don't know if the red-faced ghost is still secretly staring at me, if Mu Niangzi tells the ten candidates and lets him know that I cheated him out of his money, what will he do?
I glanced around again, searched around, and my eyes fell on Master Lin again, because he had just finished writing the record and raised his head, and the moment I looked at him, that look gave me a sense of déjà vu.
Just two quarters of an hour ago, outside Xicheng, I had seen these eyes, he was wearing a red-faced ghost head, and all I could see was these eyes, and I felt a little familiar at the time.
I've been feeling accurate since I was a child, and my imagination is also very rich, if I boldly imagined it, would he be the red-faced ghost?
I quickly looked away, not daring to look any further, for fear that he would notice. Master Lin didn't seem to realize what I had discovered, got up and handed the record to Xu Xianling, and the two talked softly together.
"Ming Mansion, Ming Mansion. Mu Niangzi is not in the inn. I heard from the shopkeeper that just a quarter of an hour ago, she and Mu County Lieutenant accompanied Qin Cha to climb the mountain. As for who she gave the purse to, they didn't know. "The official came back to report the news.
"Oh? Accompanied Qin to go out? Xu Xianling shook his head: "Then I don't know when I will come back for a while." ”
"I ordered the shopkeeper to come to the county office immediately after Mu Niangzi came back."
"Well, good. That...... Mrs. Wang, you go back and wait for the news first, I will take this case, and I will definitely find out for you. Xu Xian Ling said, got up and patted the wood: "Retreat!" ”
"That's it?"
Seeing that the county order is gone, some people haven't reacted yet.
"So what? I hope to call all the candidates selected by Mu Niangzi to come and have a look. What a pity! ”
"What a pity?"
"Am I sorry I can't do it? I'm so handsome and chic, I can lose the election, who do you say Mu Niangzi gave those ten purses to? ”
"Don't worry, you have to choose one out of ten, and you'll see it then."
The two of them in the crowd were talking, and the people around them laughed and slowly dispersed.
"Jiajia, are you alright?" Song Erlang stepped forward in two steps and asked nervously.
"Oh, Second Brother Song, I'm ...... It's okay. Wang Jiajia smiled at him and walked straight out.
"Jiajia, today is your birthday, right? I...... I have a small gift for you...... Hehe, I hope you don't dislike it. Song Erlang chased after him, took out a silver bracelet from his arms, held it up in front of Wang Jiajia's eyes, and waited for her reaction.
"Thank you. Second Brother Song, I have received your wishes, forget the gift, you can take it back. ”
"Jiajia, then these earrings ......" I quickly took out the earrings: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I upset you." ”
Wang Jiajia glanced at the earrings in my hand: "I said that I won't accept gifts today." You didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to apologize to me.
Don't worry, I've learned a lot with Sister Mu these days. Sister Mu said: If the flowers are in full bloom, the butterflies will come.
She was twenty-one, a widow, and had so many suitors. The maid next to her, Sister Warm-hearted, isn't she still married in her early twenties? There is another maid Jinxiu sister, who is thirty-one this year.
I think they're all living to the fullest and happier. I envy them even more that they don't have to care about other people's eyes and can live for themselves.
Therefore, I will not add to my troubles because of my age and the problem of getting married, and I will not be stupid to go to the company of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha. I will take my destiny into my own hands! ”
"Uh...... You can say that again! Song Erlang praised and secretly stabbed me with his elbow.
"I'll go first, today is my birthday, and it's also my mother's sacrifice day, there's nothing to celebrate." With tears in her eyes, Wang Jiajia seems to have felt the same guilt about her mother for 20 years. ”
"Jiajia, your mother's business is not your fault." I comforted, "Shall I accompany you to worship?" ”
"No, you don't."
Watching her back disappear into the sea of people, I finally sighed deeply. This girl, what I have feared the most over the years is her birthday. Every year, she pulls me to accompany her to worship her mother and chat with her. This year, I suddenly didn't want to accompany me, which really made me not used to it.
"Hey, what's going on with you two?" Song Erlang asked, "Why did you break her heart?" ”
I looked around: "Just now outside the city, she ...... She suddenly asked me if I would like to marry her, and I ...... I didn't react for a moment...... There was no promise. ”
"She proposed to you?" Song Erlang's face was full of incredulity: "You actually refused?" ”
"I ...... I really haven't thought about marrying her yet. I've always seen her as a sister. I ......"
I said, confused myself. I used to think of her as a sister, but now? Why unconsciously, my feelings for her seem to be a little different, and I always want to ...... I want to have an evil idea of taking her for myself.
"You really just treat her as a sister? That's what you said! Song Erlang became excited: "A friend's wife can't be bullied, now you are not interesting to her, then I will chase her, it shouldn't be sorry for you, right?" ”
"Huh? You...... Say what? ”
"Nothing? You're busy! I went to her and walked with her. You can rest assured. Song Erlang held the silver bracelet to his chest and chased it out in the direction where Wang Jiajia left.
This Song Erlang ...... He actually likes Wang Jiajia? I wanted to stop him, but for a moment I was dumbfounded, and my heart was inexplicably sour, and I felt nervous that my beloved thing was about to be taken away.
Reassure me? I...... Ay!
I absentmindedly returned to the Jianghu Inn, only to see that the long queue in front of the door had dispersed, Ah Wu seemed to be asleep on the counter, and only a few people stood guard in the courtyard between the guest hall and the guest room.
"Stop! What for? One of them scolded.
I recognized them as Long Yuhan's team in the Tianyan team, and I didn't know why they were waiting here, so I had to ask: "In Xia Li Jianghu, I want to see Mu Niangzi, what?" Can't go upstairs? ”
"The dragon team ordered just now, only those who have a purse can see Mu Niangzi, and no one is allowed to go upstairs."
I touched my purse through my clothes: "Where is the dragon catcher?" ”
"Chase after Lieutenant Mu!"
"Chasing the county lieutenant?" I was even more confused: "Is Mrs. Mu in the room?" ”
"Brother Jianghu!" Sun Chenxian shouted, hooking his hand at me.
"What's wrong?"
"Come, come with me." Sun Chenxian pulled me to his bedroom, and continued, "Brother Jianghu, are you looking for our host?" The owner asked me to tell you that Sister Jiajia's kidnapping must have been done in order to create chaos. But don't worry, we're in control. ”
I was taken aback: "How did the owner know that Jiajia was kidnapped?" ”
"The fifth brother picked up the note given to you by the kidnappers and handed it to the owner, who was not worried that you would go alone, so he secretly went out of the city with you."
"What? She also went outside the West City Gate? Then she ...... "I suddenly remembered the scene of hugging and hugging Wang Jiajia in the woods, I don't know if I was seen by Mu Niangzi." Also, I also said that participating in the marriage campaign will only be a bastard at the Jianghu Inn, I don't know if she heard it.
"The proprietor said, when you come to collect the stall, let me tell you: if you don't like the purse she gave you, you can give it to me, and I will help you return it. She also said that people only have one heart, and they can't hold two people, otherwise they will be too tired. Sun Chenxian said, stretching out his hand to me.
Mu Niangzi really saw everything! I heard it too! No, she should only see me and Wang Jiajia hugging, only to hear me say that she likes Wang Jiajia, and that she is only asking for marriage for her inn, and I am afraid that she is not in the mood to watch it anymore.
She misunderstood me and thought I was a scumbag with two boats on her feet!
I...... Am I not?
I have already had a skin-to-skin relationship with Wang Jiajia, including at this time, thinking that Song Erlang may be saying sweet words to Wang Jiajia, I still feel a little uncomfortable, don't I just 'use two hearts'?
Thinking about it like this, I was very ashamed, and slowly took out the purse in my arms: "What about the Dong family? Can I give it back to her personally? ”
Sun Chenxian took the purse back: "No need, just leave it to me." The proprietor said that he was uncomfortable, and after explaining some things, he went out for a walk. ”
"Oh, apologize for me."
"Okay."
I turned to leave, when suddenly a puzzle flashed: "Why did the dragon catcher bring these people here?" But what happened? ”
