Feng Heming

Chapter 397 Repaying Kindness
When Jiang Yuanxi was assassinated, Shao Sihu was so angry that he hung all the assassins except the dwarf on the city wall and hung a flagpole to show Danyang County's cruelty to the assassins, and at the same time, it was also a warning to those who took action.

As for the dwarf, he died after being tortured, because he was too childlike to cause trouble, and his body was not exposed to the sun and rain like the other assassins.

At the same time, Danyang County is under martial law. Outsiders are strictly censored, and the orders passed down by Xu Feng are also strictly enforced by the people. They will be wary of outsiders. They will report to the Huben army, and some people's sneaky deeds will be remembered by the people.

With the common people acting as eyes and ears, many people with ulterior motives were indeed found out, and the prisons of the county government were overcrowded for a while.

Li Zhongwen and Lu Heyu lost a lot of nails because of this.

The aftermath of the assassination continued until the Chinese New Year, and it was not until New Year's Eve that there was a little celebration.

There was no war during the new year, and after the new year, Jiang Yuanxi stayed in Danyang County, wanting to see this year's spring plowing.

At this time, Afang reported back and forth, "Wu Niang, there is a gentleman outside the door, who claims to be Li Qiang, and came to ask to see you."

Jiang Yuanxi was slightly surprised, "It's him?"

"Let him in." She was rather curious about what Li Qiang was looking for her for.

Soon, a burly young man walked in after A Fang.

After Li Qiang saw Jiang Yuanxi, he saluted her, "I have seen Lord Danyang."

Jiang Yuanxi smiled slightly, "Aren't you by Zhong Langjun's side, why did you come here?"

Li Qiang knelt down on one knee, "Benefactor, I'm here to repay the favor."

Jiang Yuanxi didn't move his eyebrows, and said "Oh" softly, "Repay your kindness? What kind of kindness should you repay?"

"Repay the kindness of the benefactor who saved my family's life back then."

Before Jiang Yuanxi could ask, he said it himself, "Actually, after my benefactor saved my mother that year, I wanted to be a servant by his side and work hard for my benefactor. Unfortunately, my benefactor refused to take me back then. The gentleman said he could train me, and the benefactor also said that it would be better for me to be with Mr. Zhonglang, so I listened to my benefactor and signed a contract of sale with Mr. Zhonglang."

He escaped from his arms with a contract of selling his life, "Look, benefactor, I made an agreement with Mr. Zhong Lang at the beginning, and if I stayed with him for ten years, he would give me back my freedom. After that, I will come to you to repay my kindness. "

Ever since the assassination, people around Jiang Yuanxi would be very nervous when outsiders came into contact with her. A Fang took the first step to take the contract of sale from Li Qiang, and handed it to Jiang Yuanxi.

Jiang Yuanxi glanced at it, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "The deed of sale says ten years, I remember that even if you add this year, it's only five years, and even if you want to repay my kindness, it's only five years." Years later."

Afang immediately looked at Li Qiang vigilantly, thinking why not go out and tell Mr. Hulang and Mr. Wulang first?

And regretted thinking, I should have told Mr. Wulang and them first, but now Wuniang has no one around, so she can't go!
Li Qiang obviously didn't panic, he nodded to admit the matter, "The benefactor is right, this year is only the fifth year, but before I rescued Mr. Zhong Lang out with all my might, he saw that I was in a dilemma, so he simply took my The deed of sale was given back to me, and after thinking about it, I have already repaid the kindness of nurturing him by following Mr. Zhong Lang, so now I am looking for a benefactor to repay the kindness of saving my life."

He said in a low tone, "My dead father has always taught us that to be a man is to repay kindness. If it weren't for the benefactor, my mother would have died by then, and our family would have been homeless. Grandma and the others are too sad."

He stopped the bad words in time, raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuanxi calmly, took a deep breath, and took out a piece of parchment from his arms again, "Benefactor, please look at this thing."

Once again, Ah Fang took it first, flipped it up and down, and waited a while, seeing that he had nothing to do, then handed it to Jiang Yuanxi.

Jiang Yuanxi's brows and eyes were amused by her jittery nervousness, and her heart was warm. In fact, it's useless to put poison on her. The poison in this world has no effect on her, and she doesn't believe that Li Qiang came here just to poison her.

Jiang Yuanxi looked down at the things on the parchment, raised his brows, and said in an unclear tone, "Give me this, and you will be worthy of Mr. Zhong Lang who has trained you?"

Li Qiang lowered his head in pain, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, but I really can't think of any other way to repay my benefactor. The generals under the benefactor's command are like tigers, and there are also people in general affairs and internal affairs. I can't compare with anything. The only thing I have is more than them." What I rely on is that I have stayed by Mr. Zhonglang's side and know some of Mr. Zhonglang's arrangements. I know that I have violated loyalty by doing so, and I will die and apologize to Mr. Zhonglang with my life."

Jiang Yuanxi was noncommittal, "I'll let someone take you down to rest for a while."

Li Qiang didn't say much, and after saluting, he retreated behind his attendants.

Jiang Yuanxi glanced at the parchment again, and threw it lightly on the table. She stood by the window with her hands behind her back, looked at Li Qiang's back, and asked softly, "If you are in danger outside and are rescued, what should you do?" how?"

A Fang said as a matter of course: "Repay the favor."

Jiang Yuanxi asked again, "What if the person who rescued you is the mortal enemy of your fifth wife?"

A Fang didn't even think about it, "Then I will report this matter to you and let you make a decision."

Jiang Yuanxi smiled softly, "Why do you do this?"

A Fang said confidently, "Because I belong to you, Wu Niangzi. After I die, I will be buried next to you and continue to serve you in the underworld. Even if I have been saved, the most important person to me is still You. I believe you will have a proper way, so that I don't have to owe the person who saved me."

For A Fang, even if her life is saved, Wu Niang is still the most important person, she is a slave, but the word loyalty is her backbone, she can die for Wu Niang, as long as Wu Niang speaks, She can end her life without hesitation.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at her stubborn and serious expression, and suddenly burst out laughing, "My good Afang, my good Afang!"

A Fang's face flushed slightly after being praised, and after Jiang Yuanxi laughed, she looked at the parchment on the table with worry, "Wu Niang, is the thing on this parchment fake?"

He has always been by Jiang Yuanxi's side, Afang is not stupid, and has learned a lot, so I asked.

Jiang Yuanxi looked back at the parchment on the table, and smiled playfully, "No, the things recorded on it are probably true."
