Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 136 Servant is not easy

"Brave, hungry, timid, Brother Li, think about how you were able to learn when you were full? Isn't your beloved cousin a climber?" Tian Zhixian poured the tea from the table with a smile, and passed it over. Throwing it into Master Li's hand: "Have a cup of tea and think about it calmly, is this the reason?"

While talking, Tian Zhixian slightly moved the carving on the handle of the teapot, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

Listening to the sound of gurgling water, Master Li raised his eyes and watched Tian Zhixian pick up the teacup, took a sip comfortably, and listened to people saying that all the evidence was destroyed, and "himself" died in the fire at the post station , he Li Yiyi also had a perfect alibi, at that time...

"Even if the Faithful King can really find out one or two things, the culprit is still me, Tian Ren. Brother Li, you will be nothing more than an accomplice."

"My... my lord, that is also a capital offense. If you want to..." Master Li trembled: "Then the prince came to investigate in person."

"What can the prince do?" Tian Zhixian frowned, a little disdainful of Master Li's awe of the imperial power, sipped his tea, and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect that you are usually bold, but now you are cowardly? Are princes and generals kind? To be honest, to be honest, more than sixty years ago, the royal family might have made your Li family richer and had enough money for you to study."

"It's just that they are lucky. In a troubled world, they will have the opportunity to become famous and become famous forever. If I were born early..." Tian Zhixian picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. gas.

Looking at Tian Zhixian's indifferent and domineering appearance, and thinking about his life as a master all these years, Master Li calmed down and took a sip of tea slowly.As the fragrance of the tea spread into his stomach, Master Li let out a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency's words are true, it's because this old man has never seen a storm, so he thought about it for a while."

People, after all, will die, it is better to live happily.

At least, following the magistrate, he was rich and honored.

"Brother Li, it's fine if you turn the corner." Tian Zhixian said a few words to appease the master, watched the person leave, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and pinched the household registration and road guide that he had prepared.

Even if Prince Zhongfa came to investigate in person, how could he find a dead person?

A coldness flashed across Tian Zhixian's eyes, and he felt that the flames were still burning in front of his eyes, so he couldn't help but deepen his smile. There was really no way, if the imperial envoy who was full of benevolence, morality and hypocrisy wanted to expose him and want him to die, then he could only do so. Can "die together".

Now his only insider is also dying.

Ha ha.

Putting on ordinary people's clothes, Tian Zhixian put on a little restraint, swaggered out of the city gate, and went to Fucheng.There, he has a good wife and concubine, and he is a clean and innocent country gentleman.

When the limelight passed, he donated another official, and became a master of Qingtian again.

After Mr. Li went back, he summoned his confidant yamen servant, "Have you found a living yet?"

"Master Li, I have searched for the incompetence of my subordinates, including restaurants and inns, but there is no trace of the three adults."

"Look again, before the imperial envoys from Dali Temple arrive, you must find them." After Li Shiye ordered viciously, he thought about Tian Zhixian's previous instructions, and said in a deep voice: "Send more people to guard the city gates and check for suspicious persons. It is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, pay attention to those who speak the official language, and remember to ask in local dialect when making inquiries." Although there are also official-speaking people in the county, those are also local well-known families and some scholars.The rest of the hillbillies spoke the vernacular.

To think of this, Mr. Tian is also brilliant.

Master Li couldn't help admiring that his adults were as careful as dust.

Wu Yi and his party rushed over: "..." These days, it's not easy to be a servant!

"Fuck!" Seeing that it was almost his turn, Wu Yi gestured and quickly changed his strategy for entering the city.It's okay if you can't speak the local dialect, they can speak foreign language.

Western style!

Wu Yi cleared his throat, with a dazed expression on his face: "what are you saying?" If it wasn't their turn to be on duty, they would be in the Taoist temple.Master Jing recruited a few missionaries to teach the texts. Mrs. Jia adhered to the principle of not wasting and studying, and let them study when they had time.

The guards guarding the city: "..."

"My lord, it's also a sad thing about leaving home when I was young, and the boss returned, not to mention that three generations have not stepped into the homeland, so even if this line of business is still family-born, I don't even speak official words. I am Jia Yang, an interpreter under the Marquis of Hain, is here to interpret for his friend, the Marquis Li’s family, under the orders of our Marquis. The Li family of the sea merchants responded to the call of the Marquis of Hai En, and also remembered their old lady’s deathbed He explained that the fallen leaves should return to their roots, and that they would return to their hometown to help Yi Er if they had spare energy. Therefore, when they heard that their hometown had suffered a catastrophe, Yuan Li sent Wu Guanshi and others to come back first to help Yi Er. I would also like to ask the magistrate of Guixian County to come to welcome Yi Er Two. Li Yuanwai is also a family with titles in Xiyang, so you must not neglect it." After finishing speaking, Jia Yang, who temporarily made up a perfect background for the group, took out the most authentic bank notes, and was straightforward and generous. Fang stuffed it into the person's hand: "Yes, we understand the rules, eat and drink flowers and wine, hahahaha."

When the news spread back to the yamen, Master Li was also stunned.This... this situation seems to be beyond... beyond the outline.

No matter what Master Li thinks about it, the rich and noble gentry in the city listen to the word "maritime merchants", then look at this team of fat horses and horses, then listen to this completely incomprehensible words, and finally look at the magnanimity of the people's actions, Everyone can't wait to welcome people into their homes immediately.Not to mention any city gates.What's more, under the blue sky and broad daylight, you can't disappear by yourself to ask a question or two.

Master Li had no choice but to watch this group of people walk into the yamen swaggeringly.

Wu Yi continued to speak English, although he didn't have much foreign ink in his stomach, he could use it by turning over and over again.Jia Yang, who translated, naturally followed suit.

After the group greeted each other, Wu Yi took the people to live in an inn in the county.In the dead of night, he asked about Wen Zijun's news.

"Captain, Mr. Wen has been found. Mr. Wen was in a coma due to his injuries and is still being treated. According to the other two survivors, the three of them did not have dinner at that time because they were not acclimated to the environment. The others should have drank the sweat medicine. Class, passed out, so the two only rescued Mr. Wen."

"And it is said that the imperial envoy Mr. Cai received a pleading paper after he arrived here, and told the magistrate of that field that the local granary is full of moldy rice."

"After the accident, it was Mr. Li who came to the scene at the first time? Checked out his details, and also found out the information about the governor and prefect who is currently in charge." Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "First try to get evidence from the scene of the inn at that time. , Wait for the prince to come. In addition, ensure the safety of Mr. Wen, the three people and the Li family brothers."

"Yes."

Not to mention Song Xueci's praise of the wit of the guards after Wu Yi and the others met with the Dali Temple party.They wanted to form a team to investigate secretly, but they were stopped outside the city gate.It is now taught.

Let’s talk about Mr. Li, although he has been persuaded by Tianzhi County before and calmed down, but these two days, due to the unexpected thoughts of the "big rich businessman on the sea", he is seeing people who are imitating noble robes. King Zhongfa, seeing the lifelike dragon on the man's clothes, was so frightened that his heart stopped beating.

Master Li was subconsciously terrified, the farthest he has grown up has been to Fucheng, and he is still full of fear of imperial power in his bones, and thinking about what he has done these years, he can't help being afraid.

Song Xueci glanced at Master Li, and before he could ask a question, someone put his hands on his chest, rolled his eyes, and then fell to the ground again.

Song Xueci: "..."

Accompanying governor of Henan: "..."

======

When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen arrived, the case investigation was deadlocked.

In order to ensure the safety of Wen Zijun and others, Song Xueci did not let them show up in front of others. Instead, he let the "maritime merchants" book their hiding place - Lanxiang Pavilion, where they had originally been hiding from the government officials.

When Jia Amnesty heard the two imperial guards, who were also the children of officials, tell why they took Lanxiang Pavilion as a shelter, their expressions were a little stiff, and they looked at Wen Zijun and his younger brother Wen Zijie who were accompanying in the team with embarrassment.

Wen Zijie was expressionless.He he he his brother pawned himself into a brothel.

Jia Zhen puffed out her chest proudly.This is thanks to the spread of his legendary experience back then, no, people can learn from it.What's the matter with the yamen servant looking for someone!It's absolute dark under the lights!

The two imperial guards didn't feel embarrassed at all, and complimented: "Uncle Zhen, it's really up to you. Brothers were injured at the time, and they were almost dead. Then they had a flash of inspiration, pinched their backgrounds, and modeled themselves It’s sold! I even inquired specifically that this brothel is owned by the dog official’s son.”

"It's also thanks to your clever servant, Uncle She, that the wealthy merchants in the county were stunned when they showed off as merchants, and they took this land as a matter of course, which also kept our innocence, hahahaha."

They are also considered to be thin-skinned and tender-skinned, even if they wear coarse linen clothes, it is difficult to conceal their demeanor, not to mention that they are also frequent visitors to brothels and Chu houses, and they can still handle the old bustards in a small place.He was able to seek medical treatment for himself and Wen Zijun.

Jia She smiled wryly for a while, and then looked at Wen Zijun who was still burning repeatedly because of the lack of timely treatment. He silently prayed to God and Buddha for a while, and asked Wen Zijun's younger brother to take care of him. He clenched his fists and prepared to roll up his sleeves ,Find someone.

"Master Bian personally led people to inspect the post station site and checked the relevant corpses. The dog official must have faked his death." Jia She ground his teeth: "Come on, come on, let's sit down and brainstorm together. Let's think about it the other way around, the dog If the officer faked his death, was he in the county seat or fled, what can be done to get him out of the crowd."

While talking, Jia Amnesty stared at the portrait.The portrait is of Tianzhi County, with a resolute complexion and good facial features, which can be regarded as a good appearance.

He is thirty-three this year. He has been a county magistrate in Xinxiang for nine years.But he is also considered a young Jinshi, and he won the exam at the age of 24, but his ranking is not very good, the top three is like his wife.He was sent here and appointed as the magistrate of the county.

"Uncle, doesn't this dog official still have a son? Drag his son out and kill him?" Jia Zhen said, "Anyway, this dog official's corruption is a matter of certainty. First kill his fat-headed and brainy son, and then kill him. Daughter-in-law, force him out?"

"A man like him who is insane, selfish, and flies on his own in the face of adversity, and doesn't care what to do?" With Jia Zhen's suggestion, the other two guards also contributed ideas—

"Uncle Xie, let's lead the dog and patrol the whole county with his belongings, and we'll bring someone to look for it ourselves? In case the people below don't do their best, and the local yamen servants collude? If we don't find out that bastard, we'll feel sorry for the brother who died. I don’t even have the face to go back to Beijing!”

"Yes, why don't we find a villain to figure out where the person is? My mother believes in this. There is someone named Huang Daopo or Ma Daopo. It is said that Traling!"
