Chapter 16: The Snail Girl
"Tang Jian!"
Seeing this, Zheng Junli and Yang Mingdong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
The bluestone floor was soaked with rainwater and stained with half of Tang Jian's mud.
"He fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital." Jiang Bu blamed himself a little. Is Tang Jian tired because he helped her find someone and didn't rest all day?
Zheng Junli picked up Tang Jian and ran straight to the car.
Everyone sent Tang Jian to the hospital, and as soon as he stepped into the hospital gate, Zheng Junli heard the person on his shoulder snoring.
Zheng Junli carried Tang Jian to the ward and lay down, and Yang Mingdong called the doctor.
The doctor placed the stethoscope on Tang Jian's chest and then gave him some basic examinations.
"Doctor, is he alright?" Jiang Butai asked out loud.
"It's fine, just asleep." The doctor glanced at Tang Jian's dark eyes, and said, "He should have not had quality sleep for several days." Let him sleep for a while, and then he will wake up on his own. ”
"Whew." Jiang Butai breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that people are okay."
Yang Ming saw that there was nothing wrong with Tang Jian's side, so he pulled Zheng Junli aside and whispered to him.
"Brother Zheng, I heard that you were called to the office by the surnamed Yao this morning and beaten up?" Yang Mingdong raised his hand and lifted Zheng Junli's police officer's big-brimmed hat, and finally saw his forehead covered with white gauze. "If this continues, Master Chen will really be fished out by those who are in cahoots with him."
"So, I need you to help me." Zheng Junli pressed down the brim of his hat and covered his forehead.
"Me? How can I help? Instead of you to be beaten by the surname Yao? "His arms can't twist his thighs, and Yang Mingdong knows that he doesn't have that much ability to stop that group of wolf-like profiteers.
"Do you know what Deputy Director Yao is most afraid of right now?" Zheng Junli lowered his head, and his voice was as light as an ant.
"What?" Yang Mingdong was puzzled.
"I am most afraid that Director Xu will know about Master Chen's arrest. The Xu family and the Chen family have a personal vendetta. When the Xu family was not developing, they guarded the ancestral property in the lame bend in the south of the city to live, but they were robbed and embezzled by the Chen family, and they didn't get it back for so many years. Zheng Junli said.
"Why didn't I know about this?" Yang Mingdong shrunk his neck, he was a jack-of-all-trades, and he actually encountered the one hundred and first thing.
"It's the old yellow calendar." The Zheng family and the Xu family have always had a good relationship, and when the Xu family's ancestral house was renovated, it was the Zheng family who helped. The letter of recommendation that Yang Mingdong came to the police department to take up his post was also written by Zheng Junli and asked Xu's parents to write it.
"So, do you want me to tell Director Xu that Master Chen has been arrested?" Yang Mingdong somewhat understood what Zheng Junli meant.
"yes. Deputy Director Yao has already made his subordinates keep silent, probably knowing that the Xu and Chen families have had such a period, so they are so strong in concealment. But Deputy Director Yao must not have imagined that Zheng Junli also knew about it.
"But Director Xu has been in the Police Department for so long, and he hasn't tried to find a way to deal with the Chen family and get back the ancestral property, I'm going to make a small report to him now, will he really stand by us without fear?" Yang Mingdong always felt that it was not very reliable.
"How do you know that Director Xu didn't find a way to deal with the Chen family?" Zheng Junli chuckled.
Yang Mingdong gasped when he heard this.
The Chen family has been in the shopping mall for many years, so it is naturally not so easy to sell handles. To be a teacher, you still need to be famous, and of course you need to be charged with a suitable crime. If you can't hit the key point in the mall, then you should catch the wrong place criminally. Director Xu will not fail to understand this truth.
"Then why don't you tell Director Xu yourself?" Yang Mingdong narrowed his eyes and asked Zheng Junli.
"Give you a chance to be promoted." Zheng Junli patted Yang Mingdong's shoulder and turned his head with a smile.
Yang Mingdong tilted his head and smiled, no wonder after finding the female corpse in the mountain behind the Chen family that day, Zheng Junli would say that the Chen family had nothing to fear. It turned out that he had already thought about using his strength.
Jiang Fei saw that Zheng Junli and Yang Mingdong had discussed the matter, so he looked up and asked Zheng Junli, "Do you want to notify Tang Jian's family to come to the hospital to take care of him?" ”
Zheng Junli opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the words were snatched away by Yang Mingdong.
"Tang Jian is a native of Guitan, and he came all the way to Jincheng to find a job. So there are no relatives in Jincheng. Yang Mingdong said.
"No relatives...... Jiang Buwan lowered his eyes when he heard this, whispered to himself, and then said: "Then I'll wait here for him to wake up." You're going to the Police Division tomorrow, so go back and rest first. Zheng Jun...... Husband, after you go back, you will pass a message to my eldest brother and me, saying that I will accompany the patient in the hospital today and go back later. ”
Zheng Junli walked to the empty hospital bed next to him in a deep voice, sat on it, and then said slowly: "I'll be your companion here." ”
"No, you can go back." Jiang Bu is not too late, where does she need someone to be her companion, she has always been a lone wolf, and she is used to being lonely.
"Tsk. Sister-in-law, what are you shirking, how could our Brother Zheng be willing to leave you alone in the hospital? Yang Mingdong laughed. Go back and tell your eldest brother that he's safe, right? It's on me. ”
"Ah......h
After Yang Mingdong finished speaking, he ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
When Yang Mingdong arrived at the Jiang house on Yuancheng Road, the Jiang family had already fallen out.
Jiang Fudong and Jiang Bumian were standing outside Jiang's house, and from time to time, the Broken Yuan Gang came from outside to report something to them.
The little maid stood aside, crying and saying, "I just went to buy a goat's milk, and when I came back, the young lady and the car were gone." That Zheng family's little guy can't be a bad person, right? He must have a bad heart and kidnapped our young lady, what can our young lady do! ”
"Qin'er, don't cry. Don't curse my sister with a crow's mouth. Jiang Bumian couldn't wait to sew up Qin'er's little mouth. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many people in Jincheng's Broken Yuan Gang, they wouldn't have found her sister yet.
Seeing that the Jiang family was in such chaos, Yang Ming hurriedly got out of the car, ran in front of Jiang Fudong, and said to him: "You are the eldest brother of the Jiang family, right?" I'm Yang Myung-dong, a colleague of Cheng Kwan Li. My sister-in-law is safe, I am now in the hospital with the patient, I will come back later, Zheng Junli is by my sister-in-law's side, don't worry, go to bed early. ”
"Hospital? Who was hurt? It's not too late, is it? When Jiang Fudong heard this, he asked anxiously.
"Sister-in-law has nothing to do, don't worry." Yang Mingdong replied, and then changed his words and said, "Didn't I say that our old Zheng just came back from Hubei, and you will take my sister-in-law away, isn't this a deliberate response." Moreover, this also delays the relationship between young couples. I haven't seen each other for so many years, and there must be a lot of heartfelt complaints, so you better let your sister-in-law go back quickly. ”
"Heartfelt? They had met at the wedding before Zheng Junli returned to Jincheng, what could they say about their hearts? It's nice to have a topic to talk about. Jiang Bumian pursed his lips and demolished the stage in a low voice.
"Zheng Junli asked you to convey this to me?" Jiang Fudong was much more stable than Jiang Bumian, and his face was neither happy nor angry, so that Yang Mingdong couldn't see his thoughts.
"That'...... Not really. Yang Mingdong had more mouths and consciously took a loss.
"Officer Yang walks slowly, don't send it." Jiang Fudong had a smile on his face, but his eyes did not reach a smile.
"Okay." Yang Mingdong's back was cold, and he walked away.
In the hospital, after Yang Mingdong left, Jiang also walked to the next bedside and sat down beside Zheng Junli carefully.
The smell of disinfectant water was strong and heavy, and the ward fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
She finally mustered up the courage and asked Zheng Junli the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"What did you marry me three years ago?"
Zheng Junli's eyes flashed, as if he never thought that Jiang Buyi would suddenly ask him this question.
He thought that Jiang Butai also understood the reason why they got married three years ago.
Although it was the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, if Jiang Butai didn't know the reason, then could he be regarded as deceiving and hiding her?
At that time, the Zheng family needed to build a branch factory in northern Hubei, but they were hit by the Broken Yuan Gang one after another. My father and your father negotiated peace talks, and the two families became in-laws. The Poyuan Gang assisted the Lujin Construction Factory to gain a foothold in northern Hubei, and our Zheng family helped the Poyuan Gang set up a rudder in Jincheng to encroach on the Qingyu Gang. Zheng Junli said truthfully.
"So, we're really an arranged marriage?" Jiang is not late, and there is a thunderbolt on the sunny day.
"Arranged marriage?" Zheng Junli seems to have seen this word somewhere.
In a previous newspaper, there was a headline: Oppose arranged marriages and advocate free love.
"Since it's an arranged marriage, why are you still being so nice to me? Don't you have a grievance in your heart? You won't be able to marry the girl you like in your life. "It's hard to understand that Jiang is not late.
"I don't have a girl I like. Moreover, since I have married you, I will only like you alone in the future. Zheng Junli said calmly and solemnly.
Jiang is not late in a trance.
Jiang Butai suddenly realized that Zheng Junli was a hundred years ago for her. His thoughts, his thinking, can never be beyond this era.
For him, an arranged marriage is 'the life of his parents and the words of a matchmaker'. He was good to her before, but it was only because Zheng Junli was originally a responsible husband.
"If you want, let's try free love in the future." Jiang Buwan stared at Zheng Junli.
He is gentle and friendly, upright and polite, handsome, but he likes pure love.
Jiang is not too late, and he will always be moved by such a man.
"Freedom...... In love. "Zheng Junli is unknown, but he feels powerful.
"Huhu-" Tang Jian on the hospital bed suddenly let out a loud snort, which woke him up.
He squinted his eyes slightly, and wanted to continue sleeping, but when he saw Zheng Junli and Jiang Feitai sitting on the side, his eyes widened and he immediately sat up from the hospital bed.
"Officer Zheng! Mrs. Zheng! ”
"Are you awake?" Zheng Junli came back to his senses, but the four words of free love had been seared in his heart.
Tang Jian looked at his surroundings and finally found that he was now in the hospital. "What's wrong with me?"
"You fainted, and the doctor said you were too tired and didn't get a good rest for days. Is the police division too heavy? Do I need to give you a vacation? Zheng Junli asked him.
When Tang Jian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, the police division is not burdensome at all. It's all my own problem. I've been afraid to go home lately, so I've been volunteering to work overtime in the Police Division, which is why I've become like this. Tang Jian said.
"Don't dare to go home? Why don't you dare? Jiang was confused. Where in this world, where is there anyone who doesn't want to go home after working overtime?
"Mrs. Zheng, you don't know. A strange thing happened in my family recently. Tang Jian fell into the memory, and his whole face turned pale as paper. I guess it started half a month ago. That day, when I came home from work at the Police Division, I found that the quilt on my bed was neatly folded! I'm a bit lazy, and I don't fold quilts every day. Isn't that haunted! ”
"Maybe a thief came into your house, stole your belongings, and then folded a quilt for you and fooled you?" Jiang asked without a long time.
"I'm from the country, where did I get any possessions? Besides, there are some poor ghosts living in the cheap rental houses in Zhima Camp, which thief will go to Zhima Camp to steal things? Tang Jian said. And, it's not just quilts that are weird. ”
"Anything else?" Jiang Buwan held up his head and listened to the gods.
"Yes. Since that day, when I come home at night, not only have the quilts been folded neatly, but there will also be a dish and soup on the table, and the corners and corners of the room will be spotless. Tang Jian continued.
Jiang Bu listened to it late, and always felt that this story was somewhat familiar.
"Isn't this the snail girl?" Jiang Bu accidentally said what he thought in his heart. "Is there a girl who has a crush on you, that's why she sneaked into your house and did this?"
Tang Jian shook his head and laughed at himself. "I'm a country boy, I have no money or power in Jincheng, and I can't look good, where can any girl take a fancy to me?"
"Are the doors and windows locked in the house?" Zheng Junli asked Tang Jiandao.
"The doors are locked, but the windows have been broken for a long time, but it's always been there. The locked window was broken, and it was huddled with wood, and it couldn't be opened. "He can't get some fresh air at home once in a while.
When Zheng Junli heard this, he looked at Jiang carefully.
Jiang didn't get too late to guess what Zheng Junli meant. "Do you think something evil might be at work?"
Zheng Junli should have seen her skills in the drunken moon painting boat, and felt that she had a way to solve this matter.
"If there are no signs of prying on the doors and windows, it may be possible to rule out man-made." Zheng Junli is a serious way.
"Evil things? I'll just say, I'm just a ghost! Tang Jian pursed the corners of his mouth and cried.
"Brother Tang Jian, don't be so pessimistic, where is there a ghost who treats a living person as a cow or a horse? Even if it's a ghost, it's folding quilts for you, cooking, and washing and sweeping the floor, so it's probably a good ghost. Jiang Butai comforted him.
Tang Jian rested enough in the hospital before returning to the Police Division.
Zheng Junli and Jiang Buwan agreed to go to Tang Jian's house together tomorrow night, and after that, Zheng Junli sent Jiang Buwan back to Jiang's house.
At that time, Jiang Fudong was reading the newspaper in the guest hall, and Jiang Bumian was around Jiang Fudong, as if he was waiting for Jiang to come back late in the guest hall.
"Brother~ Will you send me to school tomorrow? I'm going to transfer tomorrow on my first day! Jiang Bumian hugged Jiang Fudong's arm and lay on his shoulder to be coquettish.
"When I first took charge of Jincheng Bank, I had a lot of things to do, and I really couldn't afford it. You ask your sister if she has any time and ask her to take you there. Jiang Fudong was talking, but his eyes were still looking at the newspaper, and he didn't bother to raise his eyelids.
"I'm free, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Jiang Bu walked slowly into the guest hall and said with a smile.
