Chapter 362 Back to Gusu (6K+)

After the winter, it's time to make up for the food that should be eaten in the winter. Second Miss Fang didn't bother to take care of these things at all in previous years.It is probably because I am used to opening my mouth and stretching out my clothes when I have a meal. When something is brought directly to my face, even if it is directly fed to my mouth, I don't feel how delicious it is.

Second Miss Fang has long been tired of delicacies from mountains and seas.

But this year is different from previous years. Ever since I met Jiang Si, Second Miss Fang occasionally began to "go down to earth" to pay attention to the replenishment of food and goods.

Early this morning, it was rare to have some free time, so Fang Zhihui went to the streets with Yanhua Zhou for a stroll. By the way, he took the steward to buy some rice for making Laba porridge. After all, the first thing to come after winter is to eat Laba porridge. At that time, Jiang Si will definitely be able to make Laba porridge, and she will be able to eat it if she runs with Jiang Si.

"Order red beans, glutinous rice, longan, lotus seeds, pine nuts..." Fang Zhihui reported the ingredients for cooking Laba porridge in a straight-forward manner, and Fireworks Week looked surprised: This aunt who doesn't touch Yangchunshui with her ten fingers knows quite a lot!
"Jiang Si told me how to make it." Fang Zhihui, who finished reporting the ingredients for Laba porridge, turned her head and glanced proudly at Firework Zhou.

Fireworks Week: "..." Is this something to be proud of?
"You don't know it, do you?" Before he could speak, Fang Zhihui said again, with some indescribable pride in his tone, "I knew it."

This...he really doesn't know.Firework Zhou moved his lips, suppressed what he wanted to say, and chose to shut up.

Although he felt that this was nothing to be proud of, it was really hard for him to say more because he didn't know and wouldn't know it.

I bought a large bag of red beans, glutinous rice, longan, lotus seeds... Firework Zhou followed her out of the dry goods store with large and small bags.

"After buying food, go to the teahouse to listen to a storyteller or something. The storyteller in our Baoling Teahouse is very good at telling stories." Fang Zhihui thought of something to say, and before the fireworks week answered, his eyes lit up, "Mr. Jiang The length is not bad, it can be regarded as a well-marinated old bacon!"

Fireworks Week: "..." That's the point!However, Fang Zhihui's wishful thinking may be in vain.

"It's a pity that Mr. Jiang is not in Baoling right now. He went out to visit friends. You can't go to that teahouse," Fireworks Week said, looking at the disappointed Fang Zhihui, and didn't forget to mention one more thing, "That good-looking Mr. Jiang Not in the teahouse, but the guy and shopkeeper who look a bit wrong are here, are you going to the teahouse to drink tea?"

Fang Zhihui glared at him: "How stingy! I just want to see what's wrong with Mr. Jiang?"

Firework Zhou Wenyan didn't speak, but said in his heart: Which man would be generous in such a thing?

But when he heard that Mr. Jiang was not there, Fang Zhihui also stopped thinking about going to the teahouse, thought for a while and said, "Buy some snacks when you pass by the snack shop on the way and go back to eat!"

It's easy to check the accounts after eating. Baoling City is boring without Jiang Si and Mr. Jiang in the teahouse. It's more important to earn money.

Fireworks Zhou nodded "Yes", remembering the list of snack shops that bribed Xiangli with money and said: "You can go to a nearby pear paste candy shop to buy some pear paste candies, and then..."

Before they finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from far and near. The two people who were talking instinctively stopped and looked up.

Not far ahead, several officials from the Baoling City County Government came here with a well-dressed and handsome son of a wealthy family.

In previous years, the Baoling County Yaguan sent out twice a year, and these days, they have come out several times these days, so that the people of Baoling are not used to it, but at the same time they are a little surprised.

"What did this man do?"

"Who is it from the Jiang family?"

"Didn't you hear that the entire Jiang family was locked up?"

"Is this also from the Jiang family? It doesn't look like the second and third master Jiang!"

"Yeah, she looks like a human being!"

……

Listening to the discussion of the people around him, the corner of Duan Fei's mouth twitched when he was arrested: Do the people in Baoling City think of the Jiang family when they see the official post?What kind of relationship does he have with the Jiang family?

But they look good... Since this group of people can't "speak out" like Ji Chongyan's cousin Ji Chonghuan, let's take it as a compliment!
This group of people was really interesting, there were five or six officers who arrested people, and the sum of the arrested Duan Feilian and his servants was equal to the number of officers, not to mention the more than 20 guards behind them.

There are more arrests than arrests. How many officials arrest a group of prisoners?Fang Zhihui was dumbfounded, seeing that Duan Fei was arrested by several officials from the Baoling County Government, he still did not forget to explain to others: "I didn't do anything bad!"

These words are useless to the people of Baoling who have watched several cases and lawsuits in the yamen these days. After all, they have seen a lot, and they can be regarded as well-informed people.

"You didn't do anything bad, why did the officials arrest you?"

"Why didn't you complain when you were arrested for doing nothing wrong?"

"You wear gold and silver and bring so many guards with you. You are a bully at first glance. You probably bully people like those villains in Jiang's family!"

……

The Jiang family, it's the Jiang family again!The veins on Duan Feiting's forehead popped out. What does he have to do with the Jiang family?At most, it's just a place to live.All the young and old members of the Jiang family went in, and even Miss Jiang Si, who was the only one who didn't go in, went out. No one in the Jiang family was in Baoling, so it had nothing to do with him.

As for why he was arrested...

"It's just a misunderstanding!" Duan Fei explained, "A misunderstanding..."

Even Duan Fei couldn't stand being surrounded by so many people with such "determined" eyes.

What kind of misunderstanding can make the Yamen arrest people!This person looks like a human being, who knows if he has done anything criminal!The people talked a lot.

Duan Fei opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his mouth.Besides, can you let yourself go after explaining to these people?
It seems impossible!While hesitating and shoving, Duan Fei didn't even notice Fang Zhihui and Fireworks Zhou who were watching him from the crowd on both sides of the road.

Seeing Duan Fei being pushed away by the officials, Fang Zhihui came back to his senses, clicked his lips, and said, "No, why did he..."

"I've been caught in prison." Firework Zhou took her words, looked at Duan Fei's leaving back, and said in a heavy tone, "The fourth one!"

He had warned Duan Fei before that he would easily move into Xiyuan in Jiang's Bieyuan.

Jiang Hui lived and went in; Master Jiang Er lived and went in too.Since all the men have gone in, it's better to change to a woman, so the woman Mrs. Jiang Er lived in, and was bitten in by Master Jiang Er.Now it seems that even if you are the prince of Dongchuan, you still can't escape the fate of going to prison.

It is true that the Xiyuan of the Jiang Family Bieyuan cannot be lived in.Ordinary people can't suppress it, and can't escape it.

……

Jiang Shaoyan received a letter from the white steward on the way from Yancheng to Gusu.

After all, he is also a temporary guest at home, and if he is caught, he must tell Miss Fourth.

Xiangli, who was peeling sweet-scented osmanthus and candied chestnuts, couldn't help but be astonished: "How did he get in? It has nothing to do with us!"

Although the prince said that he was temporarily staying here on the grounds of borrowing a boat from Wandao Lake, the young lady is not such a stingy person, so she went with him when Xiyuan was free.But who knew that they were just running around Yancheng, Duan Fei was actually arrested.

"Of course it has nothing to do with us!" Jiang Shaoyan took the note, grabbed the millet and fed it to the pigeons, and said, "Although he is in an awkward position, he is still the son of a prince. There aren't many people, so it should be fine."

Besides, the act of arresting Duan Fei and sending him directly to the Baoling County Government Prison is really too familiar. Thinking of the previous move where the Wei family was sent to the south to dig coal underground, he has the ability to move Duan Fei, and he has the intention to do so. Who is obvious.

What's more, when she went to Yancheng before, she saw Duan Fei coming out of Yancheng's yamen. She presumably had a close friendship with Ji Chongyan, so there was no need to worry. Ji Chongyan knew it well, at most it was Duan Fei who offended Ji Chongyan , just teach me a lesson.

As for what Duan Fei did was caught by Ji Chongyan, and it was not a big deal, thinking of Yingying and Yanyan on the Wandao Lake cruise ship, Jiang Shaoyan thought that most of the little troubles caused by this prince had something to do with such things.

"This section is really..." Facing the letter sent by Ji Chongyan, several Jiangnan Daodu officials circulated it one by one, and some people couldn't help but sneer: "It's okay to look at Prince Dongchuan and his son..."

"What's so good? Isn't the king of Dongchuan himself a romantic? It's not surprising that a son follows his father!" Some officials said disapprovingly, "The youngest daughter of the Wang family, the richest man in Luoyang, was born beautiful. The master who was spoiled by the family raised him to be lawless and self-willed. It is also fanciful that the young lady of the Wang family took a few servants and ran away from home to find this romantic son."

"It is said that I met Duan Shizi at the Luoyang Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. I went to the Lantern Festival with Duan Shizi. After guessing the mystery, after returning home, I made a fuss about marrying the prince of Dongchuan." An official who answered the conversation lightly, shook his head, He sneered and said, "Is it too spoiled? Even the richest man in Luoyang is just a businessman after all. The father and son of Dongchuan are from the royal family of the previous dynasty. Now they are kings with different surnames. How can they match?"

As a scholar, farmer, businessman, Dongchuan Wang Shizi is above the average scholar, so the Miss Wang family is also naive and ignorant.

Of course, she didn't understand, but her family did.After finding out Duan Fei's identity, he was taken aback, and quickly persuaded Miss Wang's family to give up the idea.

Not to mention his status, the prince of Dongchuan has a reputation for being a romantic, so guessing a riddle at the Lantern Festival may be just an ordinary joke in the eyes of the prince of Dongchuan, and he didn't take it to heart at all.But if her own girl wants to marry him, she will definitely anger Dongchuan King.Therefore, the elders of the Wang family almost took turns to explain the truth to Miss Wang.

Unexpectedly, the pampered Miss Wang family didn't listen to any reason at all, and secretly took a few servants away from home and went out to look for Duan Fei.

"If you find it, that's fine. Whether Duan Shizi wants to take a concubine, or doesn't want to provoke him, or send him back, that's all the Wang family's business." A serious-looking Jiangnan Daodu government official took the words, Looking at the letter, he shook his head, "The trouble is that Miss Wang is missing."

Although it was the Wang family's fault that the girl ran away from home and didn't take good care of her, if something happened to the girl she held in her hand since she was a child, the whole Wang family would be in a hurry.

"This incident has nothing to do with Duan Shizi, and he doesn't know about Miss Wang's running away from home." Another official said, "Actually, Duan Shizi shouldn't have been arrested."

"But the problem is that the bodies of several servants who ran away with Miss Wang's family were found not far from Luoyang City, but Miss Wang's family has disappeared." The serious Jiangnan Taoist official said, "What's more troublesome is that one of the servants He was still alive when he was found, and although his tongue was cut, he could move his fingers and read, and he wrote something before he died."

"The words left are one horizontal and one vertical. The Wang family felt that what this person wanted to write was the life of 'Shi Zi', so they hurriedly went to the Yamen to report to the officials."

"The governor of Luoyang didn't take over, he just thought it was absurd, and the evidence was insufficient." The official said, "This is not an excuse, but it does have some truth."

Not to mention that one horizontal and one vertical represent too many characters, even if they are really "princes", there are quite a few princes in this Great Zhou!Naturally, it cannot be pointed at Prince Dongchuan's head.

What's more, since he knew the identity of the prince of Dongchuan, the governor of Luoyang thought that if he wanted to keep it, he should keep the word "Duan" or the word "Dong" of King Dongchuan. It was too far-fetched to keep the word "Shi".

Besides, when the incident happened, Duan Fei had already gone to Jiangnan Road, and had fun with his boat of Yingying and Yanyan, how could he have the time to take care of a Miss Wang family?
"Luoyang Mansion Yin Dao Dongchuan Wang Shizi has always been a flirtatious man, just guessing a riddle, how can he remember Miss Wang's family? Let the Wang family stop messing around, and sue the officials when we have evidence!" The Jiangnan Daodu mansion official who spoke said this, looking at Everyone said, "I really don't think I'm trying to evade. If I was someone like Duan Shizi, I would leave after guessing the riddle. How could I have the time to remember the girl who guessed the riddle together?"

The claim of the Wang family's complaint is too far-fetched, even if it is brought to Dali Temple, the evidence is too insufficient.

"But the problem is that the Wang family didn't know what was going on, and they actually delivered a letter to Ji Shizi and Lin Shaoqing who came to Jiangnan Road to investigate the Ye Mingzhu case," the official did not forget to say one more thing, "and delivered the letter to the wrong person. Give it to Ji Shizi."

Of course, judging from the current results, it doesn't matter, left and right Shizi Ji and Lin Shaoqing are together, handing it to Shizi Ji is equivalent to handing it to Lin Shaoqing, and now Shizi Ji came to say hello.

Right now, the suspect sued by the Wang family is temporarily locked up.

"Although it's not good to say this at this time, but this young lady of the Wang family who was spoiled by her family may not have a good chance." An official thought for a while and said, "All the servants were killed, and I was taken away. No matter what the purpose of those people is, be it for money or for sex, Miss Wang's family is very bad right now."

Could it be that the girl who had been clothed and clothed since she was a child and had no strength to restrain a chicken could escape under such circumstances?It's just mermaid meat.

"It's not good that Lin Shaoqing's jade-faced judge is too famous," Jiangnan Daodu Prefecture has not had many things since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are many times when there is a lot of daily fishing. An official who usually fishes and reads the storybook yawned , shook his head and said, "Everyone wants to ask Master Qingtian to uphold justice and pass the note."

He has a popular case investigation book in hand, and sometimes he reads such a book to pass the time.The master Qingtian inside has been handed a lot of notes.Those who can work hard!

"That said, Duan Shizi is pitiful, a well-off rich and idle man has somehow become a prison prisoner." The official continued, sighing, "It's really pitiful."

However, this case should have nothing to do with them. After all, the person disappeared outside Luoyang City. This is under the control of Henan Province. As long as the suspect Duan Shizi is not as dizzy as the Wang family, he can understand the matter. It has nothing to do with Duan Shizi.It's better to find out who the big enemy of his Wang family has offended.

Of course, these have nothing to do with them, just continue to fish.Their Jiangnan Road has always been safe and sound.

……

"Ah!"

Lifting the curtain of the car, through the light rain, she could vaguely see the gate of Gusu City, Xiangli sneezed and pulled down the curtain of the car.

It was quite windy outside, and it was raining heavily.Xiangli pushed a plate of peeled osmanthus candied chestnuts in front of Jiang Shaoyan, and said, "Miss, eat the chestnuts."

The girl said "hmm", took the chestnuts from Xiangli and said to Xiao Wu in front, "Just go to Qian San's in a while."

Qian San had a small house in Gusu. Although it was small, it was convenient for him to settle down temporarily.

Although Jiangnan Misty Rain has a special charm, for people like Qian San and Chun's mother who grew up in Jiangnan Road, although they are pretty, they are not as strange as those who have never seen it before.

When Jiang Shaoyan and others came over, the two were sitting opposite each other, busy with their own affairs.

Qian San leaned one foot on the stool and flipped through the notebook on the table, eating melon seeds and reading it in a daze. The opposite, Chun's mother with an ugly face, dipped a plaster on the bronze mirror and applied medicine to herself.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaoyan came back several days earlier, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.

Miss Jiang Si finally came, and if she faced the one opposite, she might not be able to help herself again.

As soon as Jiang Shaoyan entered the door, she saw the wound on Chun's mother's forehead. The girl only took one look, then her gaze sank, and she asked, "Did someone from the Yang family do it?"

These words were so unexpected that Mother Chun nodded instinctively before waiting for any other reaction, and said, "If I'm not wrong, they probably did it!"

After saying this, she herself was taken aback for a moment, and when she realized it, she couldn't help but looked at Jiang Shaoyan suspiciously, and said, "Miss Jiang Si, how do you know that it was the Yang family who did it, not this diarrhoea?" Injured from fighting with me?"

She and this diarrhoea have long been in the state of "sworn" enemies. Even with Miss Jiang Si's exhortations before leaving to "don't make trouble" and "get along with each other in harmony", they still fought a few times, but It didn't get to the point of bleeding.

To Chun's mother's question, Qian San, who was nibbling melon seeds, enthusiastically grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in front of Jiang Shaoyan, and said, "Miss Jiang Si is good at medicine, so she can tell at a glance whether the injury on your forehead is right or not. It came out of a fight. Also, how many years have I been friends with Miss Jiang Si? Who am I? Does Miss Jiang Si not know? Naturally, you can rest assured."

How many years of friendship?Ah!Chun's mother sneered: "You have known Miss Jiang Si for less than a year, so stop blindly pursuing relationships!"

However, it is a fact that he is good at medicine. As for the origin of this injury, he naturally needs to explain it to Miss Jiang Si.

"On the second day after you left, I went out to buy breakfast and passed the alley, and two masked men in black rushed out. They were masked in broad daylight, because they were afraid that others would not know that they were going to do bad things! I saw them Naturally, I ran away with my legs, and the two men rushed up with their knives in hand, and they came for me. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and didn't hurt my vitals. There were people coming and going at the entrance of the alley, and they saw me shouting Those two immediately turned around and ran away." Mother Chun briefly told the story.

The man in black who was also masked in broad daylight... Thinking of those two who went to assassinate Fireworks Zhou, Jiang Shaoyan was silent, and said: "It's the same group of people."

The same group of people or something?Chun's mother didn't understand what she heard, but she didn't care: anyway, it was mostly Dali who did it. With her narrow-mindedness, knowing that she had gone to contact Mrs. Yang in private, she would definitely come over to deal with her.

"Afterwards, I followed your instructions, Miss Jiang Si, and hurried to the yamen with a wound on my head to beat drums and call for injustice against Mrs. Yang for hurting people." When Chun's mother said this, she couldn't help but show a smug look on her face. Lu, everyone is watching, if something happens to me, Dali will be the first to escape. Sure enough, Dali didn't dare to send anyone to deal with me after that."

Of course, this trouble is only temporarily resolved, and it is quite annoying to come here from time to time, so to completely solve the trouble, it is necessary to completely kill Dali.

The girl nodded when she heard the words, and looked thoughtfully at the wound on Chun's mother's forehead. The wound has scabbed over, and the wound should not be deep, and it looks like no messy powder has been sprinkled on the knife surface. .

Does someone like Dali actually have such an "honest" assassin?Thinking of the flattened head of Fireworks Week, Jiang Shaoyan shook her head and couldn't help but let out a soft smirk.

Seeing that the girl didn't say much, she just sneered, and Chun's mother didn't mention her wound again. It's raining again today, and it's not the day to make an appointment with Xiu'er. If there's nothing to do, just find a chance to chat. up.

"Miss Jiang Si came here very quickly, is things going well in Baoling?" Chun's mother asked casually.

The girl nodded her head, "Yes", looked at Qian San who was giggling aside, and raised her eyebrows: "What? Have you heard about Baoling?"

Qian San nodded quickly when he heard the words and said solemnly: "Miss Jiang Si killed relatives righteously, I admire you."

What kind of righteous killing of relatives?Mother Chun was a little at a loss.

Qian San endured the hurdles he had endured for a few days and finally stopped selling, and told Jiang Shaoyan that he "solved" the Jiang family members as soon as he returned to Baoling.

Mother Chun: "..." She was decisive, and without any hesitation, she packed up all the troubles and sent them in.

If people are locked up, naturally nothing can be done.As the bustard of Huayuelou, Mother Chun still needs to care about her subordinates: "What about Xiao Liulu?"

"Xiao Liulu lives in the yard they rented, and she is considered a half-master." Jiang Shaoyan said lightly, "Master Jiang is quite worried about the precious blood in her stomach, so let the most useful guards on weekdays Protect her by Xiaoliulu's side."

This is not surprising, after all, the precious blood in Xiao Liulu's stomach is related to whether he can get more money from Mrs. Jiang, so it is of course very important.

These bystanders didn't think so, but Qian San, who was Xiao Liulu's former friend, suddenly asked, "Are the guards Mr. Jiang Er gave Xiao Liulu men or women?"
