A knife in love

Chapter 1426

After listening to Master Wang's words, Li Qiufeng thought what he said was reasonable.Although I have never dealt with Li Zhixian, Master Pan has seen it.This person is open-eyed when he sees money, but he is as timid as a mouse.If they heard that there were Japanese pirates coming to attack, nine out of ten they would immediately put oil on the soles of their feet, which could only ruin a big event.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "The owner of the villa is right. But I see that Mr. Jiang in the yamen is upright and very knowledgeable. Why doesn't the owner of the Wang villa ask him for help?"

The owner of Wang Zhuang smiled bitterly, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Li is not from our Dongliao County, so he doesn't know about the dirty things in the yamen. This Mr. Jiang is indeed a gentleman, and he never makes things difficult for us ordinary people. It's just that he doesn't He knows how to flatter horses, but he refuses to help Li Zhi County to search for the people's money. The county magistrate drove him away a long time ago. If we tell Master Jiang about this matter, even if he wants to help, I'm afraid we won't be able to persuade Li Zhixian."

At this time, the night was deep, and the sound of clappers in the second watch came from afar.The owner of the Wang Zhuang continued: "If there is no official government to come forward, even if these big families in and outside the city are willing to pay and give people, I am afraid that they will not be convinced by each other, and in the end there will be a rebellion. Before the Japanese pirates come, we will first Got a bloody blow."

Before Li Qiufeng could speak, Wang Xiaoyu said, "Daddy, I think Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable, much better than that bastard surnamed Pan. No matter what happens or not, it's always good to have one more person to help. Anyway, no matter how bad it is right now, it won't matter." It's not going to be too bad, Dad might as well invite Master Jiang, let's have a good discussion with him."

Master Wang took a few steps, nodded, and said: "That's the best thing to do. It's just that it's the second watch now, and the city gate has already been locked and closed. I can only go to see Master Jiang tomorrow morning."

Several people discussed a few more words, and finally agreed that Wang Zhuangzhu would go to the city to meet Master Jiang to discuss the big plan early in the morning.Li Qiufeng pointed to Hou Laowai and Lao Chen who were lying on the ground and said to the owner of Wang Zhuang: "I captured these two people from Majiazhuang. I don't know where they are. Now the enemy is approaching. The situation in the village is not clear, if these two people know they are in Wangjiazhuang, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding. Therefore, I want to ask the owner of Wangzhuang to find a proper house, and lock these two people in there first, and we will discuss it After that, we will decide how to deal with the two of you."

Master Wang said: "That's fine. Master Ma is narrow-minded, and it's extremely difficult to get along with him. I'm still worrying these days. How many people died in Majiazhuang in our village? How should I tell Master Ma It's good to explain. If he knows that these two people were arrested by Mr. Li and brought to Wangjiazhuang, I'm afraid that our Zhuangzi will come to ask the teacher. There are many empty houses in our Wangjiazhuang, so I will call someone to come and lock these two people first Get up and talk."

After Wang Zhuang finished speaking, he took his leave and left.Wang Xiaoyu sent Master Wang out all the way.Before Murong Danyan left, he whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, I will never leave Dongliao County this time. As for asking Master Miaohui for help, I will naturally ask Sister Xiaoyu for help. You Don't worry about it."

Li Qiufeng felt so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say for a while.Murong Danyan sneered before walking out.Li Qiufeng sent her to the door, but saw a servant leading five or six Zhuang Ding into the backyard.When these people arrived in front of Li Qiufeng's house, they first saluted Li Qiufeng respectfully, and then the servant said, "Master Zhu, we have ordered these two people to rest elsewhere under the orders of the owner."

Li Qiufeng nodded and let everyone into the room.Several Zhuang Ding lifted Hou Laowai and Lao Chen up, and hurriedly walked to the front yard.The servant confessed his guilt to Li Qiufeng and followed him.

That night Li Qiufeng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch.When he woke up, it was already bright outside.Li Qiufeng had just put on his clothes when a servant from the Wang family brought breakfast.Li Qiufeng has something on his mind, how can he be in the mood to eat?He only drank a bowl of porridge, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked the servant to take away the bowl and plate.Not long after, Wang Xiaoyu and Murong Danyan came to him together, saying that the owner of the Wang Zhuang went to the city to see Mr. Jiang early in the morning, but he didn't know if Mr. Jiang could help.

While the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard a servant report that the owner of Wang Zhuang had returned, and that the housekeeper and Mr. Jiang from the yamen had also arrived at Wang Jia Zhuang with him.Li Qiufeng and the three were overjoyed and rushed to the main hall in the front yard.Because Master Jiang had arrived, the three of them dared not make any mistake, first they waited outside the main hall door, and let a servant go in to report.After a while, Steward Wang came out to greet him, and said, "Mr. Li, you are welcome, just come in."

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu followed Butler Wang into the main hall, but they saw Master Jiang sitting on a chair in the middle of the main hall, and Master Wang sitting with the Prime Minister.Seeing Li Qiufeng and others walking in, the two stood up together.Wang Xiaoyu took a few steps forward, bowed to salute, and said, "My niece has met Uncle Jiang."

Master Jiang raised his hands up, and said in his mouth: "You don't need to be too polite, you don't need to be too polite. I haven't seen you for a few years, and my niece has grown into a big girl."

When he said this, he took out a small ingot from his bosom, handed it to Wang Xiaoyu and said, "Uncle came in a hurry and didn't prepare any presents. You take this silver coin and buy whatever you like." stop."

Wang Xiaoyu was about to resign, but the owner of the villa Wang said with a smile: "Since Uncle Jiang gave it to you, you can accept it."

Only then did Wang Xiaoyu thank you, and put the silver curly in his arms.Master Wang introduced Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to Mr. Jiang, and everyone politely said a few words before sitting down as guests and hosts.Master Jiang said solemnly: "Wang Yuanwai arrived in the city early in the morning and told me everything. This matter is not trivial. It not only concerns the lives and wealth of more than ten thousand people in Dongliao County, I am afraid it will also involve the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I am anxious I came here with Master Wang to find out whether this matter is true or not."

The owner of the Wang Zhuang said: "Young Master Li, Mr. Jiang is a prudent person. If he presides over this matter, he will definitely be able to come up with a solution. Mr. Lao will tell Mr. Jiang about the matter, and then let him make up his mind. .”

Li Qiufeng nodded, and then described all the things he encountered after arriving in Dongliao County.It's just that all he talked about was related to Japanese pirates, and Murong Qiushui and his son came to look for Murong Danyan and other things, so he naturally kept silent.As for the matter of Qi Jiu hiding in the gang, because Qi Jiu told him not to mention it to anyone, Li Qiufeng did not mention it to everyone.

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Master Wang was not surprised because he had already heard it.However, Master Jiang and Steward Wang's expressions changed drastically, and their expressions were a little ugly.After a long while, Mr. Jiang said: "Mr. Li, Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, and it is far away from the Central Plains. Therefore, no Japanese pirates have ever come here to make trouble. Most of what Mr. Cai said is based on speculation and has no real evidence. Even if I believe that the young master is not lying, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky to convince Mr. Li."
