The next morning, Delis's delicate body was sore and could hardly get up.
Jiang Long was still energetic and got up early to practice martial arts.
The snow fell for three days in a row, and the snow was one foot thick. The coal mine could only be mined, but the coal could not be transported out. Jianglong was a little depressed about this. It would be great if he could discover the coal mine earlier, and pull the coal to the north.
If all the cities and towns in Xinjiang are sold, the people will not be cold.
The coal mines have amazing storage capacity, and there is no cost except mining and freight, so Jianglong sets the price very low. Not to mention that all people can afford it, but at least one-third of them can be bought in the middle of winter.
Coal heating.
With so many people buying coal for heating, fewer people will go to the mountain plain to collect grass stems. This is naturally a great thing for people who can't afford coal. Collect more dry grass stems, and they can also
Burn more to keep warm.
After five days in a row, there was no movement on Qian Dai.
The sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the snow on the ground had melted. Seeing that the sky was good, Jiang Long wanted to go to the coal mine in Hewu County to take a look, but the third brother of the Qi family suddenly came to him, and his expression was full of sadness, but
It turned out that the death of the two yamen runners made the three Qi brothers blame themselves, and they ignored Jiang Long's rules and insisted on finding out the masked man who was connected to Qian Dai at night.
When the masked man tied up with Qian Dai for the third time, the three Qi brothers chased him closely.
As a result, the masked man accidentally discovered him and returned to fight with the three Qi brothers. The masked man was very confident about his skills, but when he fought with the three, he realized that the other party was not weak. In the end, the masked man slashed him down with a knife.
A bloody cut was drawn on the back of the Qi family's second son's left arm and fled in panic.
"Have you found a doctor?"
"Well." The third brother of the Qi family looked regretful, "It's all because of the little one who is greedy for merit. He ruined the great affairs of the adults, and his second brother who is still tired also broke his arm."
"The second brother of Qi's family's injury is important, so you must ask the best doctor to treat it." Jiang Long first gave a care and then touched his chin and said, "As for me, there is nothing bad, it's just exciting.
Just put money in one go. At most, it will force money to start earlier."
When Qian Dai learned that the masked man was injured, he was obviously shocked.
The masked man is a small leader among the Qian family's secretly raising death soldiers. He is definitely not weak, but he can't even deal with the other three. He also knows that Jiang Long has been sending people to stare at him secretly. This makes Qian Dai
Very uncomfortable.
Of course, he would not go to Jiang Long to argue with him, and Jiang Long would not admit it even after he said it.
On the contrary, when Jiang Long asked about the masked man, he was a little uncomfortable to answer.
These days, he has been looking at the booklets and books about digging rivers in the county government office. He is confident that he can continue to carry out the project. Since that is the case, he no longer needs to keep a low profile. After thinking for a while, Qian Dai asked someone to mask him.
People pass on messages.
The first target is Hou Jiang!
Hou Jiang's identity is now openly the housekeeper of Jiang Long's friend, who is responsible for investment and then returns after the project is over. Hou Jiang's existence is very important. As an official, Jiang Long is not good for himself to put money into the project.
Otherwise, when investing money, people will call him stupid and throw his money into a place where there is no need to shit in poverty.
Afterwards, people will be very jealous again.
It can be said that without Hou Jiang, if Jiang Long cannot find someone to replace him, the project will not be able to be carried out.
Now Hou Jiang no longer dressed like the tight-fitting style he used to be, but instead wore a gorgeous robe and a fur cloak. There were several followers following him wherever he went. When it comes to the affairs in his hands, Hou Jianglong was also very busy.
Today, the cement factory has a big order, and he needs to sign and stamp it.
It is a relatively wealthy and tough town nearby. I want to use cement to apply the castle in the town.
The turret was built by the people of the town themselves. Although it has to be reinforced every year, it has been exposed to wind and sun every day, and the turret has been broken and filled with patches. The representatives of the town explained their purpose and wanted to use it.
Cement puts a layer of cement on the entire earthen castle to reinforce. Just like the county town, this business is naturally not small. Hou Jiang must receive it in person.
In the morning, Hou Jiang took four entourages out.
When boarding the carriage, a sudden change occurred.
Several masked men held steel knives and silently jumped out of the streets next to them and rushed towards Hou Jiang.
When Hou Jiang and others reacted, the masked man had already rushed to the front, and the four minions immediately drew their swords to fight, but their skills were far inferior to the other party. The masked man was fierce, and one of them was injured, and he had to be in the shortest time.
To solve the opponent, a deep bloody hole was drawn out of the left rib.
After all, Hou Jiang was a world of martial arts, so he immediately retreated into the courtyard and closed the door.
Several masked men were about to break into the door, and a sharp arrow shot from a distance with the sound of breaking through the air.
Puff! It penetrated from the back of a masked man, and the tip of the arrow came through his chest again.
The masked man's body stiffened and he didn't even make any pain before his death, and then he fell slowly. When the masked man saw it, he immediately looked for a place to hide. Whoosh, two more sharp arrows cut through the sky and attacked him.
Come on, two masked men were dealt with.
There were eight masked men in total, and three died in the blink of an eye.
The remaining five hid in the alleys on both sides, looked at each other, and climbed up the wall of the courtyard together, intending to jump into the yard to kill Hou Jiang. Hou Jiang is their goal for this trip, and these people have clear goals. However, they just climbed onto the wall.
One was shot to death.
When the remaining four jumped down the wall, another one died under the arrow.
At this time, Fan Ren held the longbow and rushed to Hou Jiang's courtyard quickly.
Hou Jiang didn't know that Fan Ren had arrived. After inserting the door bolt, he did not alarm the maid in the yard. He hurriedly hid in a room and pulled out the dagger hidden in his cotton boots. Regarding the skills at hand
He can only be considered average, but he is neat, agile and fast.
Especially in small places, short statures take advantage of them.
The three masked men looked very anxious at this time. Unexpectedly, an archery master appeared halfway. They just turned around and broke most of them. They were carrying swords and were about to look for Hou Jiang's traces, but a maid was holding a basin of water.
Come out from the main house.
Seeing the steel knives in the hands of three masked men, they couldn't help but throw away the basin and screamed loudly.
When the servants in the courtyard heard this, they rushed out.
The three masked men were about to come forward with knives and slash, but at this time, Hou Jiang opened the door of the wing room and looked at them at the door. So the three of them changed direction and rushed towards Hou Jiang. Hou Jiang closed the door again
, retreated into the house. The moment the three of them broke into the door, a wooden table hit him. The three of them dodged and rushed towards Hou Jiang again, there was already a gap between them.
Hou Jiang held the dagger in his hand, not afraid of any of it.
The first masked man was tall and slashed with a fierce sword. He rolled forward with a short body and then drilled under the opponent's ribs. The second masked man stepped forward and slashed with a sword. Hou Jiang had just squatted up.
, his legs instantly bounced his body against the wall, and the knife light flashed over the tip of his nose.
The third masked man then slashed with a knife.
Hou Jiang was about to hide, but saw Fan Ren coming, standing in the yard, holding a bow and placing an arrow, and an arrow shot into the back of the third masked man like a meteor. The masked man's body stiffened,
A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth and fell heavily.
Hou Jiang took the opportunity to escape from the wing room.
The other two masked men saw that the archer was coming and knew that the task could not be completed. They bit the poison sac in their mouth and died soon after.
"Fortunately you came in time." Hou Jiang gasped.
Fan Ren answered and walked towards the wing room, "Jiang Long asked me to protect you a few days ago, and I have not appeared in secret." As he said that, he checked several masked people, and they were all dead. Hou Jiang was
Somewhat strange, "Why are you asking you to protect me?"
"These masked men should be Qian Dai's subordinates." Fan Ren replied.
All the masked people died, and the servants in the courtyard dared to come over. Most of them were maids and mothers, and several teenage servants. They were all scared and their faces turned pale and their legs were trembling. Hou Jiang asked them to
Don't come out when you go back to your room.
"Madam, are you okay?" Suddenly, a maid who returned to the room shouted loudly.
After hearing this, Hou Jiang's expression tightened and immediately ran over.
Fan Renze was slightly stunned, Madam? This is where Hou Jiang settled, how could there be a wife? Could it be that Hou Jiang got married? He didn't know.
Following in the room, Hou Jiang was holding a woman's hand and asking about her well-being.
The woman's face was a little pale, she held Hou Jiang's hand tightly, and looked a little panicked.
"Who is this?" Fan Ren stopped after three steps, his eyes suddenly widened because the woman's belly was obviously round.
When Hou Jiang heard this, he stood up and looked a little embarrassed, "This is the wife that the brother married."
"Why don't you tell me?" Fan Ren pretended to be angry, "I'd better have a wedding wine, too."
"At such an old age!" Hou Jiang waved her hand, "She is a widow, forced by the man's family to the point of desperate situation. She happened to be caught by me and took her home."
"Why did the man's family force her?"
"You're poor! She married until the man went, but she didn't give birth to a man or a woman. She felt that raising her wasted food."
"Beast! Where is the man's family? I'll go and seek justice for my sister-in-law!"
"No need, if it weren't for their coercion, I wouldn't have been such a good wife! And I'm going to be a father soon!" At the end of his speech, Hou Jiang laughed.
"You really are!" Fan Ren punched Hou Jiang in front of the chest, and laughed, happy for Hou Jiang.
The woman on the bed blushed shyly.
Hou Jiang comforted his wife a few more words and walked out of the bedroom with Fan Ren. He called a servant to send a message to Jiang Long. The two sat in the main hall for tea. Fan Ren saw that Hou Jiang was still a little breathing now, so he couldn't help but
Frowning, "Don't live a rich and generous life, and put down the effort you have at hand."
"You don't understand, my brother is getting older." Hou Jiang sighed, "When my brother was young, he ran for dozens of miles in one breath and his face was not red. He traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, heading north and south, almost making the slightest move.
We have traveled all over the country.
But now, alas!" He said this, and then he chuckled, "Also, the color is a steel knife with a bone scraper, this is not false at all. But you are not young anymore, and you should also try this bone scraper **
The taste is still very good.”
After Jiang Long received the news, he immediately brought people over.
The third child of Qi family was also found. After the third child of Qi family was identified, it was confirmed that the clothes of these masked men were exactly the same as those of the masked men who cut off the third child of Qi family. It can be confirmed that it was done by Qian Dai.
At the same time, in the palace hall, the old emperor photographed a newspaper on the face of Qian Quanyou, the Minister of Revenue. The newspaper was published by Dingsheng Newspaper, and it was published that when Mr. He first arrived in Lingtong County, he took revenge.
, kill two yamen runners.
Qian Quanyou knelt on the ground, his old face was purple and purple.
