Chapter 74 Talented
Manager Zhu's face was pale: "Second Master... I... I have to believe it. Look at me... I'm afraid I'll be found by the yamen soon." As he said that, he became even more panicked.
Li Wenqing picked up the cup on the table and poured it over, making the shopkeeper Zhu look tea-like: "Let's talk to me when you wake up."
Manager Zhu shivered, but his whole body seemed to be in a daze, his body shaking as if he couldn't stand.
Li Wenqing's uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Such things have happened more than once.
He didn't believe it, and all the ghosts and monsters appeared in Taiyuan City in groups. He suffered a great loss last time, and now he would never believe that there are any carp spirits.
Manager Zhu said after a while: "Second Master, you can go to the lake to see. Many people gather every day. I hope the carp spirit will appear... all the clues that the government cannot find, the carp spirit will give me guidance."
"Not only that, the carp spirit is also very talented. In the early morning or dusk, the carp spirit will appear to tune the piano, and a small boat appears in the middle of the river like a fallen leaf. The tune is gentle and sad, making people cry when they hear it, and the sound of the piano attracts many people.
At first, it was just the women who were performing in brothels. Those women deliberately competed with them on the shore but were defeated. Later, some ladies and young masters also went to the appointment quietly. Although it only took a few days, the song had already caused a sensation in Taiyuan City.
I went to the lake last night to find out if the rumors were true, but as a result... I really heard the sound of the piano."
Manager Zhu said and swallowed, his face even more frightened: "I was about to hire a boat to go to the river to see it, but I felt someone push me, and then I fell into the water. Thanks to me with a few family members, otherwise... I would have drowned."
This idiot.
Li Wenqing looked over and said, "Did anyone see you falling into the water?"
Manager Zhu nodded: "Yes...yes...saw."
When he woke up, he saw someone pointing at him on the shore, and some even saw that he was the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, and those people had suspicion about him in their eyes.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart, fearing that he would explain, so he finally returned home.
Li Wenqing felt his anger kept hitting his chest. Manager Zhu was a shrewd person on weekdays, so why did he be confused now? If he had no ghost in his heart, how could he go to the riverside? It would be fine if he had a sneak peek at him, and it would be known to everyone.
"Go back and clean up," Li Wenqing said disgustedly, "Do you want to attract the government to catch me?"
Manager Zhu seemed to be about to sit on the ground: "I dare not go back... The people from the court have already gone to my house to check it out. Although there has not been any evidence yet, I will be done when the carp spirit sends the message...."
Li Wenqing widened his eyes.
Such an important thing was finally said: "What are you going to do?"
Li Wenqing's eyes were full of murderous intent, and Manager Zhu finally knelt on the ground: "Don't worry, second master, even if I was caught, I would not give you a gift. I just want you to take care of my family and let them have some support."
"Go out," said Li Wenqing, "If you do things well, I will definitely do it."
Manager Zhu got up and retreated. As soon as the man arrived in the yard, he heard a scream outside: "Who is this? Why is it like it was fished out of the water?"
Li Wenqing's mind exploded with a "buzz".
She would come over wherever there was fun, and he had never seen such a disgusting woman.
Li Wenqing strode out and immediately saw Ji Yanran talking to Manager Zhu with a handkerchief.
The people around Ji Yanran turned their heads and Li Wenqing also saw it clearly.
Ji Zi'an.
The censor, who was famous in Taiyuan Prefecture, collided with Manager Zhu.
"Mr. Ji," Li Wenqing immediately greeted him, "Why are you here? Hurry up... Let's talk in the study." He said that, and waved his hand to signal Manager Zhu to leave.
Manager Zhu quietly walked two steps to the side.
"Hey, wait, aren't you the one who is falling into the river?"
Manager Zhu wanted to cry without tears. He turned his head tremblingly, only to see the woman looking at Ji Jingshi with regret: "Uncle, you didn't see it. It's such a pity. This man was dragged into the water by the carp spirit, and four or five people worked together to send him ashore."
Ji Yanran shouted in surprise, but Ji Zian next to him was very calm, full of righteousness, looked at Manager Zhu calmly, and then said in a low voice: "The carp spirit has made Taiyuan City panic. I have decided to investigate clearly. It is indeed what it did when you fall into the fruit. I will definitely seek justice for you."
Manager Zhu had to bow and said, "Sir, it has nothing to do with carp spirit... I accidentally fell..."
"Sure," Ji Zi'an said, "It can be seen that some rumors cannot be true, but even if it is not... on the day of trial, you still have to make a certificate."
Manager Zhu lowered his head and trembled: "Yes... I'd like to listen to the orders of the Lord."
Li Yong from afar saw the uncle and nephew of the Ji family talking, looking like two big-tailed wolf.
In just a moment, Li Wenqing was so angry that he touched his waist twice, with a soft sword hidden there. If he hadn't been able to kill people in front of others, Li Wenqing would have probably used those two heads as decorations.
"Third Master," Tang Qian stepped forward to report, "Jiang Yong has arrived in Taiyuan City."
Li Yong turned around and was about to leave, but he paused and told Tang Qian with calm eyes: "You stay... don't have to follow me."
Tang Qian looked in the direction of Ji Yanran. Is the Third Master asking him to protect the Third Grandma?
Seeing Manager Zhu leave, Ji Yanran discovered that Tang Qian beside him, needless to say, Li Yong must have gone out.
"Abandoned again?" Ji Yanran looked at Tang Qian handing a packet of osmanthus candy, "Eat it, I don't miss home after I'm full."
As soon as Tang Qian threw the candy into his mouth, Ji Yanran asked: "What happened outside?"
"Jiang...the family is back."
That's really a big deal.
Ji Yanran straightened her back, a cloud covered the sun, and the whole yard became gloomy in an instant.
Success or failure is here to defeat.
...
Jiang Yong stepped into the door, and Jiang Jinyu was waiting in the yard.
"Uncle." Jiang Jinyu looked at Jiang Yong quietly, trying to see some clues on his face. What disappointed her was that there was no strange expression in Jiang Yong's eyebrows.
"Is things going well in the capital?" Jiang Jinyu brought a cup of tea and bit her slightly pale lips to make herself look as bright as possible.
Jiang Yong took the tea and ordered the people around him: "Get out, I have something to tell the eldest lady."
After the people in the room left, Jiang Yongcai frowned and his voice was much more stern: "What happened to Taiyuan City? Why did you open a porridge shed to help those people? Do you think there are not enough people gathered?"
Jiang Jinyu's eyes turned red: "There is no way to go to the niece. Ji Zi'an suppressed it with the identity of the censor. The niece cannot conflict with him on the surface."
But it's Ji Zi'an.
Jiang Yong lowered his eyes. He had already sent a fool to Taiyuan Mansion, how could he still make trouble?
