Chapter 7 Examining the Bones of the Tender
"Are we going to stand idly by?
The conversation between Xingyan and Wang Erdai Staff, which broke up the relationship, was unfortunately vaguely heard by Ju Ying. So, the girl couldn't help but protest against his dissatisfaction.
"Of course not!"
Seeing that the simple girl misunderstood herself, Xingyan hurriedly explained carefully:
"Ju Ying, you must know that it is not easy to save people from the official yamen. If we don't get it right, we won't be able to save people, but we will be compensated. Taking money to ransom people is also a way, but I always feel that I am really unwilling to take so much silver to feed that corrupt official for nothing. ”
"The most important thing is that even if you are willing to pay, I don't think that Chen team leader is necessarily willing. Because, listening to what everyone said, Chen Bantou obviously had bad intentions towards the girl. ”
Ju Ying listened to his analysis and felt that it was good, so she had to be patient and think with him about what suitable way to save people. It's just that, although I meditated and thought about it, I didn't have a clue for a while, so I had to wander along the lake embankment sullenly.
"That's right!"
Awakening suddenly screamed, breaking the suffocating calm.
"Ah~ Awakening, have you figured out a way to come?"
"Not really. ”
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"I just suddenly remembered that the dishes we ordered were all kept by Xiao Er. It's not a solution for us to just wander around here, it's better to go back and eat while thinking, maybe after filling our stomachs, we will naturally come up with a solution!"
The girl, who was full of expectations, really couldn't cry or laugh after hearing his words. However, after he reminded him of this, he suddenly felt very hungry in his belly, so he had to follow the young man and turn back to Wanghu Tower.
In the private room, the young man and woman were eating absentmindedly, thinking only about saving people.
At this moment, Ju Ying lost his previous interest in enjoying the lake view, and Xingyan was no longer so focused on the food in front of him. The two hot-blooded sons and daughters who saw unevenness on the road were also like those men in the rivers and lakes, who were in trouble for a while, at a loss, and worried about the shadow.
"That's right! It's stupid~"
This time it was the girl who was the first to break the peace, and said excitedly:
"Why did we forget, we can go to the governor of the state capital and sue them for robbing the people's daughters!"
"Uhh......h
The young man who was listening attentively seemed to be choked by the food in his mouth when he heard this. It seems that this girl is still so naïve. Xingyan has been in the market for a long time, and at this time he has tried to score this injustice very thoroughly;
If the method of reporting to the officials could work, then the rule of officials in Poyang County would not have been as chaotic as it is now.
The young man who thought clearly in his heart smiled bitterly and told his doubts to the girl with an excited face.
"These dog officers!"
After listening to his reasonable analysis, Ju Ying held her breath and became angry.
At the moment when she blurted out these rebukeful words, Xingyan suddenly had a strange feeling: the girl in front of her, who had always been innocent and ignorant of the world, was angry at this moment, but naturally revealed a majesty that was arrogant to all beings.
Born with such a strange feeling, Xingyan immediately stared at the girl with a flushed face in front of him in surprise, wanting to prove that it was just his own illusion just now.
Seeing him look so stunned, the girl who only wanted to save people immediately expressed her dissatisfaction:
"What are you doing, I don't have flowers on my face~ Let's hurry up and think of a way!"
While urging, I couldn't help but be a little stunned:
"Alas, it would be nice if Uncle Cheng was here......"
"Hmm. Actually, I seem to have a way to do it. ”
Seeing the girl's chaos, Xingyan felt that he should tell her the rescue plan that was gradually becoming clear in his heart.
As soon as Ju Ying heard that there was already a way, she hurriedly urged him to speak quickly. It's just that because she was so excited, she forgot to lower her voice for a while, but the young man hurriedly made up a word and covered up the past loudly.
Seeing this, the girl who came to her senses stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and immediately fell silent.
However, Ju Ying's uncontrollable cheers just now reminded the young man that he felt that this Wanghu upstairs was mixed with fish and dragons, and it was not a good place for planning. Besides, this precious meal was almost finished, so he suggested that he should find a secluded place by Poyang Lake and talk about it in detail.
The well-behaved girl, now that she is obedient to Xingyan, she immediately called Xiao Er to settle the account, and the two of them left the crowded Wanghu Tower together.
When passing the carriage downstairs, Ju Ying said hello to her coachman, saying that she was going to see the lake nearby, so that he did not have to follow, and then, after walking with the boy for a while, she found an inaccessible lake rock by the lake and sat down, and began to discuss the plan to save people.
It seems that Juying doesn't want her coachman to know about this at all.
When she sat down on the shore rocks by the lake, Xingyan leaned next to her and whispered her thoughts to Ju Ying.
The plan wasn't complicated, he would finish in a moment. It's just that after he finished speaking, Ju Ying looked him up and down carefully several times with suspicious eyes, and finally shook his head and asked with a suspicious expression:
"Wake up and say that what you said is true?can't you be coaxing me again?Why can't you see it at all~"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xingyan didn't get angry. Because of this, sometimes even he himself can't believe it. However, for the smooth implementation of the plan, even if it is a bit bizarre to say, it must be proved at this point.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said with a smile:
"I knew you didn't believe it, and I was about to rehearse it for you!"
So, Xingyan looked around in the girl's curious gaze. After a while, I picked a lake rock. The small half of this lake stone is buried in the soil, and it is two circles larger than the grinding plate.
After looking at it for a while, Ju Ying saw him leaning over, grabbing the two edges of the stone with both hands, rubbing it, confirming that it had been grasped, and then shouted:
"Up!"
After this loud drink, I saw that the boulder, which was impossible to be carried off the ground by a sixteen-year-old boy, was reluctantly pulled out of the originally comfortable soil nest under the surprised eyes of the girl, and was held by Xingyan in front of his chest!
After only a short pause, he slowly returned the lake stone to his homeland. After accomplishing this feat, I went to look at him again, but saw that his face was not red and his heart was not beating, but he stood there with a smile, and confirmed to the girl whether he should believe it this time, and that he was not teasing her
However, Ju Ying did not answer.
Because by this time, her mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.
However, looking at the girl's surprised expression, Xingyan was not proud, shook his head, and was actually quite worried:
"Ju Ying, I still have a very big flaw in this method!"
"Huh, I think it's pretty good!"
A simple girl is always so naturally optimistic. Seeing her like this, Xingyan reminded in a measured manner:
"Don't you think you have to be there to help with my method? I'm afraid this ......."
"So what does it matter?"
The obedient girl suddenly became alert, and asked dissatisfiedly:
"Hey, do you think I'm useless and can only help?Hmph~ I, I've visited more places than you!~"
The girl felt that her pride had been seriously hurt and pouted.
"Is it really okay?"
Xingyan only wants the thing to succeed, so he doesn't care about the girl's anger, and just asks a straightforward rhetorical question.
"Of course!"
The answer is more concise.
"My plan is violent!"
"Don't be afraid!Miss Ben is about to teach those two dog officers a lesson!!"
The answer became more categorical.
"My plan is still bloody!"
The boy continued to ask.
“......”
This time the girl hesitated. It was only a matter of moments, and Xingyan immediately heard her answer:
"I'm still not afraid—— Well, my father told me that you can't be soft-hearted with bad officials!"
It seems that in the end, it was her father's education that helped this somewhat wavering girl regain her position.
"I didn't expect you, Ju Ying, you're really good!"
Seeing her like this, the young man was also very satisfied, and after a sentence of praise, he threw out the last question:
"By the way, there's one more important thing、"
"What's it?"
Knowing that this last, and often the most arduous test, was coming, the girl hurriedly pricked up her ears and waited nervously for what was to come.
"That's right, my plan involves a few taels of silver, you see if you can ......"
This time, the examiner was nervous.
“...... Wake up and say you still treat me like a stingy !!"
It seems that this time the girl is really angry, her lips trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth hung to the sides, and tears began to brew in her eyes again.
So, later, on the shore of Poyang Lake, a classic scene of a young man hurriedly apologizing to the girl and asking her for forgiveness was staged. Coincidentally, an old man with a cane passed slowly not far away, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help shaking his gray beard and sighed:
"Alas, it's good to be young......!
Let's skip the sentimental years of this old man and not mention it ruthlessly, and then talk about the rescue plan of Juying. Now that the plan has been finalized and the funding has been secured, the rescue plan has officially entered the implementation phase.
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles!"
In that season's private school, he also dabbled in some military books and war books, and he knew the importance of obtaining correct information.
Speaking of the wide range of juveniles, it is also a pity that his time did not pay attention to the imperial examination, and the imperial court often adopted the recommendation and escort system for the selection of officials. Whoever has a good reputation and filial piety and a high recommendation can become an official and a big official. Therefore, in the Ji family's private school, more attention is paid to the all-round development of disciples, and the school textbooks are not designated by the government to compile and sell. Usually the school class, all of them are involved in hundreds of schools. It is precisely because of this that this little boy knows the truth of "not being able to reach it quickly, and then making a decision".
So in that afternoon, the figures of Xingyan Juying and the two were active in the streets and alleys of Poyang Lake County, walking the streets and alleys, going deep into the people, and collecting first-hand information about Lu Chonghuang and Chen Kui.
At this time, Xingyan's long-honed eloquence finally came in handy, and a lot of first-hand information was obtained through a large number of very skillful accosting questions. Of course, his harmless and simple face also unexpectedly made the process of information gathering easier.
While he was busy working, the little girl Juying was not idle. Whenever a boy should not ask a question, or even an occasion that is not suitable to appear, our Miss Ju Ying will come forward, clean up the young lady's temper a little, use a well-handled gentle and soft language, and then spare a flattering and well-behaved smile, under the seamless cooperation of the two, there are few three aunts and six mothers-in-law, uncles and uncles, not to be taken down by this invincible cute offensive!
So, I saw that on the mill street in Poyang County, there was a fierce bearded man, looking at the two backs that were gradually moving away in the autumn sunset, and it took a long time to wake up, and wondered:
"Huh, am I very familiar with them? Why did I just tell these two teenagers about my years of mental journey, like pouring beans on a bamboo tube?!"
Precisely:
What does it mean to make steel and turn it into a finger twist!
Xingyan didn't expect that he and the little girl were combined together, and it was a dream combination of golden partners, and in less than two hours, he was satisfied with collecting the information he needed. After some careful sorting, garbage messages such as "Lu County Ling is afraid of his wife" and "Chen Bantou does not wash his feet" were eliminated, and finally the following useful information was obtained:
Chen Kui and Chen Bantou, in addition to being lustful and loving to gamble money, also have a good mouthful; after the evening dismissal, this guy will definitely go to the Poyang Lake South Rock Island Restaurant "Water House" to taste the famous dish "steamed anchovy". Because at this time, there are high-quality anchovies that are sent by fishermen, all of which have just been caught and are extremely fresh. Chen Kui goes every night, rain or shine, without exception — just like he never pays.
And Lu Chonghuang and Lu County Order, I didn't think that this corrupt official was actually obsessed with Qing talk, and often went to the "Shuihu Literary Society" in the west of the city to talk about mysteries with a group of fellow friends, and often didn't return until late at night. Although the wife of Lord Lu is the sister of the governor of Ganzhou Prefecture, he is also a county magistrate and this nepotism, so he can't help but have strict family laws, and he is extremely afraid of guilt. It's just that, just like Lu Lao'er was born greedy for money, this all-night conversation is indeed another hobby of his extreme love, so even if the family has a strict curfew, at this point, Mrs. Lu can only be reasonable, follow the old man's wishes, and not let him lose face in the local Shilin. It's just that, compared with the atmosphere and environment of the family and the literary society, this Lord Lu became more and more nostalgic for talking, and returned until late at night every time.
These two pieces of information are extremely important to the rescue operation of the awakening words, and it is the habit of the two adults that makes his rescue plan achieve a more perfect time effect.
When the young man and woman had decided on their plan, they began to prepare the necessary things. After all the preparations were made, the two bold young men waited quietly for the night to come in the inn of peace, where they had stayed.
......
"Huh? I remember! You haven't told me yet, how can you have that brute strength!"
In a room of the Ping An Inn, the words of a young girl were being heard.
"Uh......"
I didn't think of the problem of avoiding half a day, and in the end, I still couldn't fool around. The young man was smuggling for a long time, and finally held back a sentence:
"I, I don't know! Maybe our family feng shui is good......
It didn't lie to her entirely.
