Seeing that Jiang Fang didn't answer, the two brothers were a little anxious: "How did you see that we were lying?"

"Haha. Jiang Fang grinned, "Originally, I was just guessing, but now you admit it yourself, it's good!" put away his smile and said, "Before I report this matter, let's be honest!"

It turned out to be a fraud?

The two brothers looked at each other, and they were angry that they would lose too much of their words.

At this time, it was too late to regret it, although the young man opposite was young, he could order Li Xiyuanyu and others, which showed that he was by no means an ordinary servant. If he angers him with his words, I am afraid that even if he is lucky enough to get through today, he will inevitably be imprisoned in the future.

After thinking for a while, the man in the white shirt said, "This official, we are also forced to do so. ”

There's a play!

Jiang Fang smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still serious: "Why is it a last resort?"

"My name is Huang Long, this is my brother Huang Hu, I was born two years earlier than Huang Hu, so I am Huang Hu's elder brother..."

The white-shirted man who called himself Huanglong chattered and finally let Jiang Fang listen to it.

The old woman named Ma who was helped in by Li Xi, Ma lost her husband in her early years, and she was alone and pulled the yellow dragon and yellow tiger up, although there was no wealth, but the mother and son were filial, and the life was passable.

During this time, because Huanglong was getting older, Ma married Huanglong, but the family was down, and the girls in Xinyang County were unwilling to condescend.

Late yesterday night, someone came uninvited, willing to pay a lot of money to marry Huang Long, on the condition that the mother and son must come to the yamen to perform a play.

"That's how it came about. Huang Long said anxiously, "Please take a look!"

Jiang Fang stared at it for a while, and saw that the expressions of the two brothers did not seem to be fake, and there was a faint strangeness in his heart.

The three of them are just ordinary people, why did the mysterious person make a big deal about it?

Let the Yellow Dragon and Yellow Tiger come to the Yamen to make trouble, is the real target of the mysterious person in the Yamen?

"Official!"

Seeing Jiang Fang's face pondering, thinking that Jiang Fang was considering whether to sentence the old woman to prison, the two brothers said in unison: "This matter was done by my two brothers, and it has nothing to do with my mother! As long as the official father releases my mother, my two brothers are willing to be punished by the official!"

"For your own selfish interests and disturbing the order of the yamen, you have violated the laws and regulations of the dynasty. Jiang Fang frowned slightly: "Your filial piety is commendable, and I can say a few good words for you from the magistrate." However, it is up to you whether you can save your mother or not. ”

"As long as the official needs it, we will fully cooperate!"

The two brothers heard that Jiang Fang had the intention of releasing people, and they were all surprised.

"That's good. Jiang Fang lowered his voice and said, "I'll ask you." That mysterious person, apart from letting you come to the yamen to make trouble, do you have any other specific arrangements?"

The man said that as long as we make trouble in the Yamen, the Yamen will definitely send people to look for the lost jewelry. Huang Long didn't think twice.

Looking for lost jewelry?

The jewelry has not been lost, and even if the yamen has great powers, it is difficult to arrest and convict people.

The real purpose of the mysterious man may be to lure the official to the place where the jewelry is lost.

"Where do you live?" Jiang Fang asked a lot of questions: "In addition to your mother and son, are there any outsiders in the family? Have you seen that mysterious person before? What does he look like? Do you know where he lives?"

"Back to the official master, we live in Linfeng Street next to Xicheng Bridge, right next to the City God Temple. There are no outsiders in the house. The mysterious man was tall and thin, with blue cheeks, and since he was visiting at night, we didn't see him clearly, and we didn't see him before, let alone know where he lived. ”

In order to rescue the old mother, the two brothers told everything they knew: "In addition, when the mysterious man entered the door, we smelled a very strange smell. It smelled very fishy and salty, and it was a little unpleasant to smell too much. ”

Living near the City God Temple?

Very fishy and salty taste?

Could this be related to the water in the City God Temple?

Jiang Fang knew that something was wrong, but his face was silent: "Wait a minute, I will let you go home, when the time comes, you will walk in front, I will follow behind, don't be too nervous and excited, be normal." ”

"Okay!" The two brothers were surprised and delighted: "What is the origin of that mysterious man? Is it the Jiangyang thief?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

......

After the mother and son left, hearing Jiang Fang say that they wanted to follow each other, Li Xi said happily: "Brother Jiang, I'm ready, do you say that we will act together or separately? If we act together, will the other party be aware of it? If we act separately, do we have to discuss the meeting and location first?"

"I'll do it alone. ”

Jiang Fang didn't know what the mysterious man was going to do, and didn't want Li Xi to follow him on the adventure: "You wait here, if I don't come back after an hour, I will quickly inform Boss Niu and Wang." ”

"Isn't it, Brother Jiang? Don't take me with you for serious cases?" Li Xi looked aggrieved: "Just let me report the news, am I so unbearable in your heart?"

"I'm charging at the front, you're at the rear, and we're equally important. Seeing that Li Xi was still very unhappy, Jiang Fang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if it's really a serious case, you can't hide even if you want to be lazy." ”

Taking advantage of Yuan Yu and Lin Yao's lack of attention, Jiang Fang attached to Li Xi's ear and said: "This matter may be related to the City God Temple, I will go over to investigate the situation first, you are a local, and you will be exposed as an errand as soon as you come forward, you are easy to startle the snake." ”

Even talking and coaxing, it finally made Li Ximei smile: "Okay, I'll wait here first, if you don't come back after an hour, I'll take Boss Niu and Lao Wang over to save you." ”

With the cow boss and the king?

Who's taking whom?

Leaving the yamen, Jiang Fang messed up his hair and followed Huang Long and the others in front of him.

At this time, just after lunch, there were few pedestrians and merchants on the street, which invisibly brought many difficulties to the tracking work, fortunately, Jiang Fang had watched a lot of spy movies before, and the so-called had never eaten pork and watched pigs run, not to mention the royal agents, in this "wild place" to track a few "country grass people" or to catch them.

Li Xi had already introduced Xinyang County to Jiang Fang before, and knew that the Linfeng Street mentioned by the brothers was a left-turning fork in the middle of Shuangyang Road, which was also a well-known "slum" in Xinyang County.

After walking for a while, a corner of the City God Temple was faintly revealed in front of me.

Probably frightened and afraid to accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis, the mother and son stopped in front of a cold noodle stall.

"The shopkeeper. The old woman Ma took out the cloth roll from her arms and slowly spread it out to reveal more than ten copper coins inside: "Three bowls of cold noodles, one bowl is not spicy, and the remaining two nights add more onions and garlic." ”

"Great!"

The attentive shopkeeper immediately took the money to wipe the table, and not far away, the chubby shopkeeper had begun to heat the oil underneath.

The fragrance blew along the warm breeze, making Jiang Fang grit his teeth.

From the morning to the present, except for a bowl of rice porridge and a few steamed dumplings, the dripping water has not been stained.

"Gollum ......"

The unfortunate stomach continued to scream.

"Hey, isn't it just a bowl of cold noodles! It's unhygienic and unhealthy, what's delicious!" Jiang Fang tried to comfort himself: "Compared with hot pot skewer crayfish, cold noodles are simply hard to swallow!"

"Gollum .......Gurr"

After about half a pillar of incense, the mother and son were full and drank enough to hurry again, Jiang Fang wanted to wait for the three of them to eat a bowl of cold noodles later, but he was worried that he would be greedy and misguided, so he had to rub his stomach and continue to follow.

Finally

The three of them stopped in front of an old house.

While the old woman didn't notice, Huang Long looked back around the corner, saw Jiang Fang probing his brain, and stretched out his finger to point to the locked wooden door. Jiang Fang nodded in understanding, Huang Long turned around and opened the door, and together with Huang Hu, helped the old woman into the courtyard.

After waiting for a while, making sure that no one was paying attention around, Jiang Fang tiptoed to the front of the old house, listened to it first, and the sound of the conversation between the old woman and Huanglong was faintly heard in the distance behind the door, and then tried to push it with his hand, and the wooden door made a slight "squeak", opening a dark gap.

"Well done. ”

Jiang Fang smiled in his heart and expressed his appreciation for Huanglong's cooperation.

Just as he was about to push the door in, there was a sudden chill from the contact between his fingers and the wooden door, and at the same time, he faintly smelled a salty smell on the wings of his nose.

Jiang Fang knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step back, and when he looked up, he saw the position of the door painting on the wooden door, and the birthday star, who was originally kind and kind, grinned with teeth and a hideous face.

"it!"

Although he had been mentally prepared, the change was so shocking that Jiang Fang couldn't help but let out a low cry.
