Chapter 20: The Tang Mansion
Although Ye Jingshuang ran away, he got another knife catcher.
It's not too much of a loss.
Just glanced at the direction in which Ye Jingshuang left, Jiang Ran smiled again:
"It's still a little tender...... It's always not good to think about things. ”
Turning his head and looking at Master Liu, Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"Master Liu, I'll ask you about something......
Master Liu immediately nodded again and again, indicating that he knew everything and said everything......
After a little conversation in front of the yamen of this mansion, Jiang Ran said goodbye to Master Liu.
Watching Jiang Ran gradually walk away, Master Liu groaned slightly, and then returned to the yamen.
I went all the way into it, and finally came to an elegant little courtyard and knocked on the door gently:
"Your Excellency."
"Come in."
A deep voice came out, and Master Liu hurriedly pushed the door in.
When I looked up, I saw a burly man, sitting shirtless on the front steps.
Holding a large bowl larger than a wine jar in his hand, he was eating noodles.
He copied the chopsticks in his right hand, and held a few cloves of garlic in his left hand holding the big bowl, and after eating two mouthfuls of noodles, he stuffed a clove of garlic into his mouth.
And on the side of him, there are still two human heads, which are Zhang Dongxuan and Daozhen.
Sitting on the edge of the head and eating noodles, he didn't care at all, the food was snoring, the soup was splashing, it was called a sweet.
Master Liu stood quietly to the side, not daring to disturb.
But this person, while eating noodles, opened his mouth to speak, and he didn't delay at all, and he was not afraid of choking:
"Sent out?"
"Sent out."
Master Liu said softly:
"My lord, this order to catch the knife...... Will it be too ...... It's ......"
"Sloppy?"
"Yes, sloppy!"
Master Liu hurriedly nodded:
"This thing, after all, is ...... The stakes are high.
"This Jiang Ran is young, and he has no reputation on the rivers and lakes, so he can't help but ......"
The man sank the sea bowl, revealing a pair of superb eyes, glanced at Master Liu, and suddenly smiled:
"If you can kill Zhang Dongxuan, you will cut off Daozhen's head.
"I'll give you a piece too."
"This ...... How can I do this? ”
Master Liu smiled bitterly.
"If you don't have the ability, don't say this."
The adult sneered and continued:
"As for the fame of the rivers and lakes...... He has such martial arts, and his reputation will come out sooner or later.
"If you are a handsome, you should not miss it.
"Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter, the official has his own decision."
"Yes."
Master Liu nodded immediately.
The adult continued to eat noodles with hula hula, and after eating all the noodles in the whole bowl of the sea, he stood up and stretched.
waved his hand, and was about to let Master Liu go down.
And at this moment, a notice came from outside the door:
"My lord, the shopkeeper is here again."
Master Liu peeked at his own adults.
I saw this adult's eyes crossed, and his voice was like a bell:
"Tell him that this official occasionally felt a cold last night, and now he is so sick that he can't feed the weak medicine, let alone deal with the right thing.
"Let him come back in a few days."
With that, he let out a loud burp.
Master Liu hurriedly lowered his head when he heard the voice, and said in his heart that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and it had to be you, an adult.
"Alright, let's go down."
The man waved his hand, and as he turned back to his room, he muttered in a low voice:
"The date is set for July 15, what are you going to do here, is your head on your ass?"
……
……
"Boss, have a bowl of rotten meat noodles."
Jiang Ran came to a noodle stall and beckoned to the noodle stall owner.
"Okay."
The owner of the noodle stall was quick with his hands and feet, and soon fished out a bowl and put it in front of Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and while eating, he looked at a family on the opposite side of the noodle stall.
This family has a big family, the threshold is not low, the plaque above the gate is hanging, and there are two big characters on it: Tang Mansion!
Before he was in the mansion before, he asked Master Liu about two things.
The first thing is the identity of the Ye family's family friend.
The second thing is where the Tang family is located.
According to Master Liu's words, when it comes to the Tang family in Cangzhou Mansion, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tang family.
After inquiring about the path, Jiang Ran didn't hesitate to come over directly.
The matter of the old drunkard, the sooner it is resolved, the sooner it is relieved.
Just sitting here eating noodles, looking up, the gate of the Tang Mansion was open, but no one was in or out.
After groaning slightly, Jiang Ran beckoned to the stall owner again.
"What do you command?"
The owner of the noodle stall hurried to him.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, who is this family opposite?"
"You said Tang Yuan's foreign family?"
The noodle stall owner smiled when he heard this:
"Tang Yuanwai is a good person, which one of our Cangzhou Mansion mentions it, and you can't give a thumbs up?"
"Oh?"
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Can you tell me more carefully?" ”
"This ...... Guest, I still have something to do......"
The noodle stall owner was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Ran looked at the empty noodle stall, smiled slightly, took out two copper plates from his arms and put them on the table:
"Truth be told, I'm new to the city and want to make a living.
"But I'm a martial artist since I was a child, and I can't do anything else...... can only sell a body of martial arts to a rich man and get an errand.
"It's just that this matter is a bit difficult, ordinary people can't use it, and they are worried that the person entrusted to them will be rich and unkind, and then they will be instructed to do some evil things, so ...... Also asked the owner for a favor. ”
The noodle stall owner glanced at the burden on Jiang Ran's body and the single knife on his waist, and then he suddenly realized.
Immediately laughed:
"Then you're asking me the right person......
After taking the two copper plates in his hand, the man began to know everything and speak endlessly.
What he said was different from what Cheng Jimo and Master Liu said.
Those two people have different visions from ordinary people, and there are no details to put it mildly.
But the owner of this noodle stall said it in detail and trivial.
From which of the Tang family's maids is better-looking, to what good deeds Master Tang has done, they all say the truth.
All in all, the reputation of this Tang Yuanwai is indeed good.
He never bullied others, and when he encountered difficulties, he opened a position to give.
Even if someone offends the Tang family, Tang Yuanwai also repays his grievances with virtue, which is very admirable.
Hearing this, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, this Tang Yuanwai is indeed a good person.
But at the same time, he couldn't help frowning.
Since Tang Yuanwai is a good person, what did this old drunkard do to make this good man angry.
So much so that it can be passed on to save his life?
While eating noodles, he listened to the boss chattering about the Tang family, until he finished eating the bowl of rotten meat noodles, and the noodle stall owner stopped.
Jiang Ran wiped his mouth and pointed to the front of the door again:
"Who is that big fat man who has been walking around the gate of the Tang Mansion since just now?"
"Which one?"
The noodle stall owner looked at Jiang Ran's finger and suddenly smiled:
"That's Tang Yuanwai."
“???”
