When they got home, Ah Niang and they were already in a hurry. Wang Jiajia put out the prison balls in the pot, then served fish, meat, and wine, and a large table of dishes was also sumptuous. The family talked and laughed, imagined the future, surrounded the fire, lit firecrackers, and was peaceful. Then I went to give a lamp to my Aya and Wang Jiajia's mother, kept the New Year's Eve, and dispersed when they were really sleepy.

The first month of the new year was the happiest day, but it became a knot in my heart. The first year of junior high school, the second year of junior high school, the third year of junior high school...... I became more and more anxious, and even Wang Jiajia became nervous.

"Brother Jianghu, seeing that today is the fourth day of the first lunar month, what does Lin Sheng want to do to us?" Wang Jiajia was so anxious that she only turned around: "Otherwise, let's go directly to Xiao Mu." Your identity has been revealed anyway. ”

I was a little troubled: "In the first month of the New Year, they don't take a few days off when they are officials?" Xiao Mu can't see anyone on weekdays, but now he can find him? ”

"What then? Otherwise, let's go find Sister Mu, she is Bingxue and smart, maybe she has figured out a way by now. ”

I shook my head again and denied it: "Didn't we already look for Mu Niangzi?" She is pregnant, how can she trouble her again and again? Don't worry, I have the means. ”

"What's the solution?"

I grabbed her hand: "Tomorrow, you will accompany A-Niang to the Jianghu Inn to live, and let the master rest in the Thorn Shi Mansion." ”

"Guest house?"

I nodded: "Li Huichun is right, we are too remote here, if those thieves come and tie you up, no one will know." The Jianghu Inn is different, it is the most prosperous area of Xiangzhou City, surrounded by shops, people come and go, and there are several groups of people who patrol the streets every day. ”

"However, the inn is quite expensive, is my mother willing to go?" Wang Jiajia became worried.

"So, we have to find a way, just like the last time we tricked her into going to the Rejuvenation Hall, trick her into going."

"Stinky boy! What kind of conspiracy is being discussed here? A-Niang roared, startling me.

Wang Jiajia was also taken aback: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

A-Niang gave her a blank look: "It's only been a few days since I married into your Wang family?" I can't go back to my own home? ”

"No, mother, that's not what I meant."

"Hmph, say! What are you two thinking? Don't think I didn't hear it! Trying to lie to me again? Where to lie to me? A-Niang glared at me angrily, and the lioness's nature burst out again.

I knew I couldn't deny it, so I had to tell everything.

Ah Niang's face changed greatly, and she grabbed my ear: "There is such a big thing, why are you saying it now?" ”

"I ...... I'm not afraid that A-Niang will worry. Rest assured, they won't hurt me for a while. I'm just afraid they're going to threaten you to push me. ”

Ah Niang sighed: "Your idea is not bad, but it is too risky." Since that Xiangzhu's martial arts are so high, how can he easily catch it? ”

"Li Huichun's martial arts are also good, as well as Quankang, Xiao County Lieutenant, oh, the military chief of the Assassin Mansion, Xiao Mu's secret guard Ouyang Daxia...... I don't believe it, adding up these capable people in Xiangzhou City is not his opponent. ”

"However, we don't even know who he is now, even if we go to ask Xiao Mu to gather masters, how can we deal with him? How do you know when he'll come back to you next time? Wang Jiajia asked.

yes, that's where I can't help it. I don't think I can be passive like this anymore, otherwise, they will only press forward step by step, once I have no use value, will I also become an outcast like Feng Liulang?

"Then I'll take the initiative to find him!" I said firmly.

The next day, with daily necessities, Wang Fatzi and I sent A-Niang and Wang Jiajia to the Jianghu Inn.

On the fifth day of the first month, there are basically no guests in the inn, but there are often officials patrolling the street on the street, and there are five guys in the inn, in short, it is more lively than my house.

"Staying in a hotel?" Ah Wu looked at us in surprise: "You have made a fortune?" ”

"Is there a cheapest room?" A-Niang asked.

"Oh, yes, the number of houses, a hundred dollars a day."

"If you want one, let's stay for three days." I threw three strings of copper coins on the counter.

"One?"

"Hmm."

"You ...... Four? ”

Wang Jiajia took A-Niang's arm: "Just me and my mother." ”

"Okay. Come, pick a room, and log in. ”

After sending Ah Niang into the room, I came out and saw Ah Wu dozing off on the counter, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm lazy here again, and I'm not afraid of the owner's blame." ”

"How can the owner have the kung fu to care about me." Ah Wu said disdainfully and beckoned to me: "But the proprietress came here once the day before yesterday and secretly asked me about your condition." Hey, you're dragging your family here, you can't be hiding someone, are you? ”

"Secret."

"Oh, don't ask." Ah Wu was bored, shrugged his shoulders, and said no more.

"Happy New Year! Do you have anything to eat? A familiar voice came, and it turned out to be the shopkeeper Huang next door.

"Oh, please inside the guest officer!" Ah Wu greeted him: "Why did the shopkeeper Huang come over?" ”

"Hey, if I rest like this, I'll really have to beg for food. I turned around just now, and there were many people on the street one after another, maybe some of them were hungry and wanted to eat candied fruits. Ming'er is the sixth day of the first month, and the sixth and sixth are smooth, but it is also auspicious. ”

"Yes, business has not been easy in the past few years, so I can barely make a living, if I want to make a fortune, I can only dream." Ah Wu echoed and shook his head helplessly.

"It's still the same."

"Oh, Chenxian, a flax cake, a bowl of haggis soup."

"Hey." Sun Chenxian trotted downstairs, stuffed the book in his hand between his belts, and went to the kitchen.

"Fauber isn't there?" Shopkeeper Huang glanced at the empty guest hall and nodded at me.

"There are few guests during the Chinese New Year, so the owner asked him to take a few more days off."

"Your host is kind-hearted. Hehe, I haven't seen him for many days, has he written anything recently? I'm going to change the couplet at my door, a new year, a new atmosphere. I think the couplet at the door of the sesame oil shop is good, and the shopkeeper said that it was written by Li Dongjia. ”

"Shopkeeper Huang, please use it slowly!" As he spoke, Sun Chenxian brought food quickly.

Ah Wu waved his hand to let him step back, and smiled: "You like it, to be honest, the word of the owner, that's it, anyway, I don't see anything good." ”

"Hehehe, well, I haven't eaten it for a few days, and today's soup is good." Shopkeeper Huang saw that he didn't speculate with Ah Wu, so he didn't say more.

"Jianghu, they are all settled, I will go to live in the government for a while, so what should you do?" Wang Fatzi came over and asked.

"I ......" I scratched my head, I really hadn't thought about it. If I open another room, I am really reluctant, but if I go home to live alone, if Lin Sheng comes to the door, I am afraid that no one will know if he kills me.

"If you don't dislike it, squeeze with me?" Ah Wuyi pointed to the backyard: "If you are not used to being with others, then you will have a door panel and open a bunk on the ground?" ”

"That's too much trouble for you." I'm a little embarrassed.

"Ouch, look at what you said, you have also sent us tofu for half a year, and we are also acquaintances, now that you are in trouble, how can I not save you from death."

"That'...... I'll help you. I grabbed the handkerchief on Ah Wu's shoulder and wiped the table.

"Then you should be more careful, if there is anything, someone will call me immediately." Wang Fatzi said a few words and finally left.

***

Fortunately, except for some pain in the back of the door panel after sleeping all night, it was okay all night. The sixth day of the first lunar month is coming soon. The sound of gongs and drums at the door of Huang's pastry shop next door, the sound of firecrackers, and the invitation of Zhang Fan's troupe to change the trick, quickly attracted people over.

A-Niang felt a little bored in the room, and wanted to take a few looks, but I persuaded her, so she had to go back to the room and chat with Wang Jiajia.

Tomorrow is the tenth day, and Lin Sheng asked me to investigate the secret agent, and I am not going to say anything.

Since County Lieutenant Xiao gave me flour and asked me to make a mark, it means that he sent someone to protect me secretly. And he is Li Huichun's subordinate, and it was Li Huichun's idea to take refuge in the inn, so it seems that the task of tracking down the master should be handed over to him.

And Li Huichun, Long Yuhan said that his martial arts are much higher than his medical skills. Maybe he'll be able to defeat the lord and rid me of the threat.

Thinking like this, the stone in my heart was broken in half, and I resolutely went to the county office.

"Brother Gao, it's so hard for the New Year!" When I came to the gate of the county office, I saw that Gao Yu was on duty, so I said hello first.

"Li Jianghu? What are you doing here? ”

"Oh, there's something I want to do with Master Lin."

"It just so happens that Master Lin is on duty today, and you've been here a few times, so you're familiar with it, so go in by yourself."

I went into the county office, looked around, and finally saw Lin Sheng in the study. I have to say that he looks like he reads books carefully, and people who don't know it really think he is a good official.

"It's all here, why are you sneaking around?" Lin Sheng said, his eyes still fixed on the book.

I stepped into the threshold: "You know I'm coming? ”

"Of course." Lin Sheng turned a page of the book: "According to the past practice, during the Chinese New Year, the officials of the county government still have to take turns on duty to prevent important cases. Therefore, I specially applied for today's duty, waiting for you to come and pay my New Year's greetings. ”

I sneered: "New Year's greetings? Hehe, you have made me feel uneasy all year long, and I will worship you? ”

Lin Sheng finally put down the book: "That's you asking for your own hardship." I don't believe it, you really don't know who the other agents are. If you had spoken out earlier, you would not have been scared all day long, and you would have taken your mother and lover to the inn to save your life. ”

I was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

"Hahahaha, do you think my agents are all vegetarians?" Lin Sheng got up, paced in front of me, and said in a low voice: "Believe it or not, if you dare to play tricks on me, I will still kill those two women in the Jianghu Inn." ”

"You dare!" I roared.

"Shhh Lin Sheng stretched out his index finger and leaned it to his lips, and a sinister smile broke into the corner of his mouth: "Here, what else do I dare not do?" It's a big deal that the fish is dead and the net is broken, you should also know that as a fine worker, from the day I stepped into the land of Li Tang, I have long been prepared to sacrifice my life for the country. ”

I secretly clenched the corner of my clothes: "I can tell you the identities of other secret agents, but I want to see the Xiangzhu, and I want him to promise in person to see if his conditions are worth my betrayal of Datang." ”

Lin Sheng squinted at me: "You dare to put forward conditions to me in turn, you are really tired of it." ”
