Chapter 23: Chopping the Grass
So, a group of people embarked on a journey to Xiaomei's house.
Xiaomei was anxious, and kept praying in her heart that it would be fine, but who would have thought that they had only walked more than a third of the way when they saw an embarrassed boy walking towards them.
The boy was about eight years old, dirty, as if he had crawled out of the mud, and his pitiful appearance was distressing.
He kept wiping his tears with his little hands, sobbing a few times from time to time, as if he had been greatly wronged, and the whole scene was blurry in his vision;
Xiaomei was sharp-eyed, and she recognized this poor boy at a glance, isn't this her dear brother? How did you end up in such a place now?
Don't......
She didn't dare to think about it, for fear that her concerns would come true.
"Aggie!"
Xiaomei couldn't bear the throbbing in her heart anymore, she ran over with all her might, and couldn't help but open her arms and hold Aji tightly in her arms.
"Sister!"
Aji was greatly wronged, cried loudly, and hugged Xiaomei to death.
"What's wrong? Tell my sister about it, is someone bullying you? Xiaomei didn't think much about it, she glanced at Aji very distressedly, and stepped forward to check the other party's injuries.
She looked left and right, and was relieved to make sure that nothing had happened, but even then the worry did not erase from her face;
"Sister, I'...... I ......"
Aggie choked constantly, as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, and he couldn't breathe;
"Tell my sister, my sister is in charge of you!"
Although Xiaomei is a woman's family, she can't see her brother shed tears on weekdays.
Tang Jianqiu, who was watching from the sidelines, had mixed feelings in his heart, although he didn't know what was going on, judging from the situation of this child, he was obviously stimulated.
Hearing Xiaomei's words, Aji's face was a little better, but even so, he was still a little hesitant, and he gritted his teeth and confided the truth after struggling for a while:
"Sister, since you were kidnapped on the street, there have been officers and soldiers who came to the door to kill people and set fires, no one except me escaped by luck, and the seven members of the Chen family died tragically under the knife, woo woo!"
I don't know if I remembered the picture of the death of my relatives, Aji cried loudly, and the hand holding Xiaomei tighter, eager to squeeze his body in.
The moment she heard this, Xiaomei felt that the sky had fallen, at first she thought she had heard it wrong, she kept shaking her head, and her mouth trembled no, but the cruel truth told her that this was true!
"Aggie ...... What did you just say? Daddy, Mom, they all ......."
Her eyes were full of fear, and at that moment she wished it was a dream!
"Daddy is gone! Woowoo woo ......"
Aggie burst into tears as he spoke, and the emotions that had accumulated for many years erupted in an instant like a volcano;
This time, Xiaomei listened to it very clearly, as if a meteorite had smashed through it, completely shattering her.
She was completely devastated, and knowing the truth, she had already cried into tears, and subconsciously regarded Aji as the only consolation.
The sister and brother hugged each other tightly, Tang Jianqiu and they were naturally not bothered, but they were silently watching from the side, maybe only in this way would make the two of them feel a little better.
The two cried for a while, and their mood was slightly relieved.
Xiaomei hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she pretended to be calm, and finally squeezed out such a sentence from between her teeth: "Aji, don't be sad, my sister will take care of you in the future." ”
"Hmm...... Sister! ”
Aji is so big, and now that he has witnessed the killing of his entire family, it is naturally unacceptable for a while, even if several days have passed since this incident, he still can't calm down;
"I'm tempted to excuse me, I don't know what's going on? Can you tell me more about it? ”
Tang Jianqiu knew that the current situation was not easy to disturb, but he had to get involved, if the bully was not eliminated for a day, then the people of Xianning County would not be at peace for a day!
The man in front of him was a little strange to Aji, he first glanced at the eldest sister squatting in front of him, and then at Tang Jianqiu, who had a straight face, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Xiaomei realized that she was a little abrupt, and she didn't introduce Aji from the beginning to now, so she added:
"Aggie, let me introduce you, this one is my savior, oh yes, hero, what shall I call you? You can't call you by your name, can you? ”
"Call me Tang to chase the twilight immediately."
In order to hide people's eyes, he had to reveal his name.
"I'll teach you Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, let you laugh, this is my brother Aji, come, Aji, I've met Mr. Tang soon."
"Hello Mr. Tang, you look so young, can I call you Brother Tang?"
Ah Ji's eyes widened, and because he was relatively small, he had to look up at Tang Jianqiu with a small grass looking up at the big tree.
"That's nature."
Since it is a child's words, Tang Jianqiu will not care, as long as it is not too much, he can basically ignore it.
"If there are any difficulties, you can tell me, Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Central People's Republic of China, and I also know each other, I can convey the truth for you, and I may be able to help you."
Although Tang Jianqiu is reluctant to reveal his true identity for the time being, there are some things that can be revealed a little, one is to increase credibility, and the other is to better hide his identity.
Xiaomei originally had no hope for the matter of reporting to the official, since Xianning County was occupied by the Hou Ye, there has been no justice in this world, but now that Tang Jianqiu is willing to help her, she is already very happy, not to mention that the other party also saved herself;
And the person he knows is still a waiter who is a second grade, which makes her see hope when she has fallen into the abyss.
She was very happy, and the corners of her mouth instinctively raised a smile, now it seems that she has met a nobleman, so that his family can be wronged!
She hurriedly pulled Aji beside her to kneel, her words were full of gratitude, and he kowtowed to Tang Jianqiu as he spoke;
"Mr. Xie! Thank you so much sir! Aggie, hurry! Thank you sir! ”
"Thank you, Brother Tang!"
The two bowed to Tang Jianqiu again and again, and Tang Jianqiu hurriedly called them up when he saw this:
"Hurry up, don't be polite, it's not too late to thank you when this matter is done, Aji, you can tell me the cause of the whole thing first."
Aji kept choking, and then he told the whole story of the family's tragic annihilation: "Brother Tang, since my sister was kidnapped on the street, my father began to look for my sister's whereabouts, and finally found a clue.
Because the other party was the Hou Ye, my father didn't dare to offend, so he went to the county government to complain, but who would have thought that the complaint would not succeed but was beaten badly.
My father was unconvinced, and he was going to go to Hou Ye to theorize, but I don't know how Hou Ye knew about our family, so he led a large number of officers and soldiers to my house.
My family hid me and escaped, but my family let that bad guy die, beg Brother Tang to make the decision for me! ”
After speaking, Aji kowtowed hard to Tang Jianqiu, and Xiaomei couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard what Aji said;
Tang Jianqiu was shocked, even if he was a rough man, he couldn't avoid lamenting and regretting when he heard this.
He felt very sympathetic to Aji's experience, his family was also killed in his previous life, this feeling can be described as empathetic, and he will definitely not allow this dog to bully the people with impunity!
"Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you!
Fang Xiaoyu, you have the best light work, follow me to the Hou Ye's Mansion in a while, I have something important to explain to you. ”
"Yes!"
Fang Xiaoyu habitually clenched his fists with both hands to indicate that he received his life.
"Your Excellency, why don't you send me along?"
Ah Fei was a little worried, not that Fang Xiaoyu couldn't do it, but he thought that he was more capable of protecting Tang Jianqiu;
"It is easy to expose the target when there are many people, so you should first inquire about the reputation of the local people for the Hou Ye, and the other brothers will rest for the time being, remember to let them take turns to guard,
A few of you, arrange for someone to take Xiaomei and Aji to live first, and make sure that the two of them are safe, otherwise you will come to see you! ”
"Yes! Miss, and this little brother, come with us. A few small flags hurriedly used hospitality.
"The little girl is bothered." Xiaomei owes a debt, and then leaves with Aji.
After making sure that they were leaving, Tang Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then found a place where no one was there and discussed countermeasures with his colleagues;
"I will explore the way in advance in the name of Qincha's subordinates, and pretend to reveal to them that I will be there in two days, Fang Xiaoyu, you sneak into the Hou Mansion to steal relevant criminal evidence during my conversation with Hou Ye.
The most direct point of going to the Hou Mansion today is to listen to the truth and truth, only success, not failure! If you make Hou Ye suspicious, I am afraid it will not be so easy to invite him next time. ”
Regarding this, Tang Jianqiu can be sure, since that guy is doing everything to achieve his goal, he will still be a little guarded.
"Yes!"
"My lord, what about us?"
The rest of the brocade guards couldn't help but ask, they can't do nothing, right?
"You are responsible for protecting Xiaomei and Aji, and take turns to change shifts."
"Yes!"
When he arrived at Shen, Tang Jianqiu put on a fox mask, and successfully entered the Hou Mansion under the pretense of being a subordinate of the Qin Mission, and used the token as evidence, which made the officers and soldiers who were already suspicious relax their vigilance.
They immediately reported the matter to Murong Jing, who was already a dissolute person, so he naturally couldn't be interested in this matter, but considering that the other party was a Qincha person, even if he didn't want to, it was not easy to offend, so he could only treat him politely;
"Let him in."
Murong Jing was originally interested, but now it is really unpleasant to be disturbed like this, that feeling is like a bow and arrow being wound, but the rope is suddenly broken, it is really disappointing.
He enjoyed it very much on the lap of the beauty and tasted the grapes peeled by the other party, and sat up reluctantly, so he could only move to the hall to receive Tang Jianqiu's arrival;
"Master Hou."
Because of the etiquette, Tang Jianqiu owed a debt, but Murong Jing said that there was no need to be polite, and motioned for Tang Jianqiu to sit down and speak first, Tang Jianqiu was not polite, and sat down in his robe.
Wearing a mask, he exudes an intriguing and mysterious aura that might have been discovered in a normal way, but since the mask and the fact that these people didn't notice, it naturally passed.
"Ben Hou has heard what his subordinates said, you are Lord Tang's subordinate, right? How can I only see you but not Lord Tang? Isn't Ben Hou not doing well enough to make Lord Tang unhappy? ”
