Chapter 277 Chase

"My house?"

Yang Liang was surprised and said: "Master Lu, my home is outside the city, not in the city. Is there something wrong?"

"That's right."

Lu Zhaogeng smiled and waved his hands and said: "Master Li is a dragon and phoenix flying out of our Baishui County. The villagers also feel proud of their faces. If people know that Master Li is still living in a shabby thatched house, Master Li himself does not care. We in Baishui County don't care." Will be laughed at.

So everyone invested money together to buy this house in the city, waiting for Mr. Li to come back. "

"Uh, that's it."

Yang Liang was stunned for a while before he realized that he originally planned to buy a house, but he didn't expect that someone had already prepared it for him.

He waved his hands and said, "You must not be rewarded without merit. This is absolutely unacceptable."

"Master Li, don't refuse. You are a scholar from Baishui County and have been written into the county annals. If we are not prepared and alarm the capital, the higher-ups will be blamed."

Yang Liang was just pretending to refuse at first, but when he heard what Lu Zhaogeng said, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "My lord, you are really trying to offend me."

"Master Li is so polite. Please come in quickly. We are going to make some noise in Master Li's house tonight."

In addition to Lu Zhaogeng, Yang Liang was also surrounded by wealthy country squires, with smiles on their faces and indescribable enthusiasm.

It is said that the Jia family has angered the imperial envoy. If we don't show our positive behavior, the imperial envoy will frown and our heads will fall off.

The maids, cooks, and servants in the mansion were all prepared before Yang Liang arrived.

When the news came back that Yang Liang had become the imperial envoy, Lu Zhaogeng began to arrange the house. There was no detail that was not exquisite and careful.

Now it's finally used.

Wine and food were prepared from the largest restaurant in the county and brought here in a steady stream. Everyone exchanged glasses and the guests and hosts had a great time.

At the banquet, someone was preparing to give Yang Liang his daughter or even his granddaughter as a concubine.

Yang Liang quickly waved his hand and refused. After the news of his lust spread, everyone planned to break through him from this point, which made him very annoyed and even created resistance.

Sure enough, things are rare and valuable, and only for my former self, beautiful women were a scarce resource.

Everyone feels very sorry for Yang Liang's attitude. Some of the squires here are wealthy households in the county, and some have been awarded the title of scholar before, but have not been able to enter the officialdom.

If they can connect with Yang Liang, the children of the family can easily enter the officialdom and achieve great success in the future.

As a result, Yang Liang refused.

Compared to the future of the family, a woman is nothing.

Everyone was ready to move, wondering if they could persuade Yang Liang.

At this moment, a carriage stopped outside the door. This was the Silver Blade Guard who specially sent Wang Huandi here.

Now Wang Huandi's heart was in a state of confusion, and everything in front of her eyes was completely like a dream.

"Why is there a house here? I've never heard him talk about it before."

As soon as she crossed the threshold and muttered a few words, she saw the hall filled with wine tables.

After seeing her, everyone stopped using their chopsticks at the same time.

Wang Huandi stayed where she was, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Yang Liang stood up to greet him and introduced everyone with a smile.

After everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized, and they all saluted and said, "I have met Mrs. Li."

Wang Huandi was startled and immediately blushed: "What kind of lady am I?"

"No wonder Mr. Li is indifferent to beauty. It turns out that there is already such a beautiful lady in the family."

"I really envy you."

Yang Liang smiled apologetically, sat down and sighed: "Now that I have returned to Baishui County, it is time for me to send someone to pick up my old father and enjoy his happiness."

The smile on Lu Zhaogeng's face stopped and he looked at Yang Liang but said nothing.

Yang Liang observed the words and expressions and immediately said: "Master Lu, do you have anything to say?"

"Oh, I'm just about to apologize to Mr. Li. Mr. Li, please don't blame me."

Yang Liang asked strangely: "What happened?"

Lu Zhaogeng sighed and said: "We bought a house in the city. I knew that Mr. Li was also in the city. How could I bear to let him suffer, so I immediately sent someone to pick him up, thinking that he would enjoy it first. Enjoy peace and happiness.”

Yang Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "My father is already here?"

"Yes and no."

Lu Zhaogeng said with a bitter face: "I think your father is used to eating simple meals and can't stand chicken, duck and fish, so I sent two maids to serve him, but an accident happened. Now he has gone to the west by Hexi."

"what?"

Yang Liang was surprised. Yang Liang also had complicated feelings for his nominal father. This time when Jinyi returned home, I originally thought that he could also enjoy the blessings.

However, he was old after all. How could he bear to prepare two maids for him at one time?

Lu Zhaogeng and others remained silent. He never dared to tell Yang Liang about this matter. Their original intention was to take pictures of Yang Liang's horses, but who knew they would take pictures of the horse's legs.

But I can't blame myself for this. Who would have thought that Mr. Li is still ambitious despite his age.

As a result, the body could not hold on.

I don’t know what the imperial envoy will do when he hears this, or whether he will be so angry that he will arrest everyone and behead them.

After a while, Yang Liang sighed, pinched the corners of his eyes hard, and finally squeezed out a few tears.

"It's a pity that my old father never enjoyed much happiness in his life, but he died because of excessive longing for him."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all agreed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Li was overly worried and that's why he contracted the disease and died."

"He usually looked forward to the stars and the moon, and his body became increasingly haggard, so he died."

Lu Zhaogeng secretly admired Yang Liang. He was already well versed in the principles of officialdom at such a young age.

Of course Mr. Li died of excessive worry, but he couldn't die on the maid's bed.

If word gets out, wouldn't it be detrimental to Mr. Li's official reputation?

Yang Liang sighed and said, "I wonder where my father is buried."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, he has been buried properly."

Yang Liang nodded: "I want to go to pay homage to my father in person to comfort me from the pain of longing for him. The son wants to be raised but cannot be kissed, and the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Unfortunately, my body has already promised prosperity, so I can only do That would be unfilial."

Everyone was a little moved when they heard this, thinking that the imperial envoy is indeed a most filial person. Now that he is holding back tears, he must feel particularly painful.

"Don't worry, sir. All the elders in He County will be there by then, and I'll give the old man a good ride."

Yang Liang nodded, with a look of pain on his face. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yang Liang had no intention of pursuing this matter.

A group of people stayed by Yang Liang's side, constantly offering words of comfort.

By the next day, the people sent by Silver Knife Guard had returned and brought the news to Yang Liang's case.

"Sir, you guessed it right. The nineteen people who were burned to death had all their property wiped out after their death, regardless of whether they were rich or poor." Wu Dao said.

"So, this time it's not just about making money, it's also about killing people."

Yang Liang sighed and said, "Did the Jia family get any clues?"

"Your Majesty, according to what Mr. and Mrs. Jia said, the deceased has never left the house since he moved into the house. At most, he went to the drug store on the street to get two pairs of medicinal materials."

"Have you asked the drugstore?" "I've asked them all. According to the drugstore shopkeeper, the deceased took medicine to soothe the nerves and nourish the qi, and there was nothing special about it. I asked them in person, and it didn't look like there was anything wrong with them. .”

"If that's the only person the deceased had contact with and they're OK, then what's the problem?"

Yang Liang frowned: "Even if it's evil, there should be some truth. It can't just come out of thin air."

Wu Dao was equally puzzled and sighed: "Besides, the people the deceased had the most contact with were the couple from the Jia family. Could it be that they are weird?"

Yang Liang's eyes lit up and he said: "Why can't it be that they are weird? After eliminating all possibilities, even the most unlikely is still the only possibility."

Wu Dao suddenly felt like he was looking up at a high mountain and said, "Sir, it's high."

"Not high, that's not what I said."

Yang Liang said: "Go and arrest the Jia family couple. It doesn't matter if they are interrogated."

"Yes."

Wu Dao agreed and went.

Yang Liang picked up the tea bowl and felt that the tea was a little cold, so he tapped his fingers on the table.

Wang Huandi came over with a teapot. Yang Liang was surprised and said, "Aren't you resting in the backyard? How can you do such rough work?"

"I'm a rough guy, and the work I did was originally much heavier."

Wang Huandi smiled brightly and said, "I was wondering if you were tired here, and I was wondering if I could help."

Yang Liang felt that Wang Huandi seemed to be a different person. Before, she was somewhat aloof in front of him.

Now he is very enthusiastic, even a little deliberately trying to please.

There is no way around this. If you put yourself in Wang Huandi's shoes, you would probably be confused.

He waved his hand in an inviting gesture. Wang Huandi looked at him charmingly, sat sideways on her lap, and put his arms around her neck.

"Sister, why do I feel that there is something different about you today?"

Wang Huandi lowered her head, her face flushed: "The grandma in the house called me some, saying that she wanted to tie the man tightly."

Yang Liang took a deep breath, held Wang Huandi's waist, and said softly: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Wang Huandi nodded and said, "I was thinking, when will I bring my parents over?"

"This……"

Yang Liang loosened his hands and said: "I have no choice but to know who I am once they see me. I can't guarantee that they will be as secretive as you.

After I leave, I will have someone pick them up. "

Wang Huandi nodded and suddenly hummed, feeling Yang Liang's hand close to her skin.

"So, you still want to leave?"

"I have official duties, so I can't help myself."

Yang Liang took a deep breath, feeling that his mouth was filled with the fragrance of powder.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps, and a Silver Knife Guard reported: "Master Qi, the Jia family and his wife are missing."

"what?"

Yang Liang and Wang Huandi were startled at the same time. Wang Huandi blushed and wanted to get under the table.

The Silver Blade Guards didn't change their expressions. They were eunuchs, so this kind of thing was nothing to them.

"They are really weird. Chase them and you must find them for me."

With that said, Yang Liang straightened his clothes and strode out of the room.

The silver sword guard followed Yang Liang. Before leaving, he looked back and saw Wang Huandi's delicate appearance. He couldn't help but think:

Being a man is probably quite interesting.

Yang Liang walked quickly, without even riding a horse. It didn't take long before he arrived at Jia's house.

Wu Dao has taken control of this place, and the maids and servants in the mansion are detained in one place.

The magistrate of Baishui County also came after hearing the news: "Master Li, what happened? What happened?"

"Master Lu, I am going to look for you. I will immediately seal the city gate and send people to search around. I must find the couple."

"Sir, you said that the Jia family and his wife are suspicious, right? Is there anyone in their family who is a high-ranking official in the capital?"

Yang Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "If you don't tell me, I've forgotten which gate should I take to get to the capital?"

"South Gate."

"Send people immediately to pursue them southward."

Lu Zhaogeng didn't know what happened, so he had to obey his orders.

On weekdays, his relationship with Jia Renwang is quite good. As a county parent, if he cannot handle the relationship well with the local squire, he will never be able to be the county magistrate.

In his impression, Jia Renwang was a little greedy for money, but he was unlikely to commit any serious crimes.

The spontaneous combustion case has nothing to do with him.

After a while, the Silver Knife Guardian came. At the beginning of today, someone did see the Jia family and his wife driving out of the city.

"Chase."

Yang Liang did not hesitate, mounted a fast horse, and immediately chased outside the city.

At this moment, on the official road outside the city, the Jia family and his wife were sitting in the carriage, constantly looking at the scene outside, with the scenery on both sides retreating rapidly.

"I said I shouldn't have her ideas. Look at you. You don't listen. Now I've caused trouble." Jia Renwang complained.

"It's already here, and you still blame me. How did I know that something like this would happen?" Mrs. Jia said with a bitter look on her face: "Who knew that this imperial envoy would pursue the investigation desperately. If he doesn't run away, we won't be able to escape. ”

Suddenly, a stone on the roadside hit the shaft of the car and broke the axle.

The carriage fell to the side, and the couple screamed and fell out of the carriage with a thud.

The coachman tried to wake up the horse pulling the carriage, but after a long time, it was all in vain.

"Master, we can't continue here. Let's run to the mountains."

"Broken, where can I run to?"

"Let's hide in the mountains first, and then go to the capital. Once we go to the capital, they can't do anything to us."

The two of them shouldered their burdens, went down the official road, and broke into the mountains and forests.

Jia Renwang has a hard time saying that he is pampered and does not know how to run away at all, especially traveling through mountains and rivers. For him, every step is even more thorny.

Maybe going back is also a way, and the imperial envoy may not be able to send him to him.

At this moment, Yang Liang and the Silver Blade Guards had arrived.

"Stop, don't run."

"If you keep running I'll shoot an arrow."

Everyone was shouting, and Yang Liang had already taken out the slingshot from his arms, ready to take action at any time.
