Liu Jinsuo walked to the county government office with his dog, and saw Jiang Fan walking out of the door.
"Jiang Gouzou, when did you come back?"
Jiang Fan said: "I met the county captain as soon as I came back. Didn't I just come out?"
"Do you know that your savior, Taoist Yu, is an assassin from the north?"
"I know you have searched so much and still can't find it. The county captain told me to leave this matter to me and let you go back to the camp to arrange for the brothers to celebrate the New Year."
"What do you do?" Liu Jinsuo said, "It's up to you. I'll definitely let Taoist Yu go."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Give me the dog. You go to see the county captain first, and then go to the Qinxiang Teahouse in the city to find me."
"No, why do I feel that something is different about you? Where have you been these days?"
"Don't worry, it's not something you, a reckless man, can do." Jiang Fan took the dog leash from his hand and led a few people towards the long street.
"Hey, this ginger hook..."
Liu Jinsuo scratched his head and entered Li Xia's apartment. He saw Li Xia and Han Chengxu talking to several craftsmen.
"County Captain."
Liu Jinsuo shouted, took a closer look, and couldn't help but said "Wow" and said: "What a beautiful armor!"
Li Xia is wearing a pair of armor. This is the iron armor he peeled off from the body of the Mongolian deputy Qianhu Nige he killed last time, and used small iron pieces to braid it on the leather.
He re-improved it, retaining the armor and leather parts, and replaced it with a douche, a red tassel, a shoulder robe, a shawl, and a wat belt, making it look heroic.
"You came just in time." Li Xia pointed to another pair of clothes and armor on the table and said, "You can put it on and take a look."
Liu Jinsuo was so happy that he took off his clothes on the spot, revealing the seven beautiful pictures of golden guns all over his body, and put on the newly made armor.
His armor is that of a hundred generals. It lacks the hood, shoulder straps, and the patterns on the sashes. It looks a little simpler, but it is much more majestic than the armor worn by ordinary Xiang soldiers.
Then he picked up the token on the table and took a look. It was a copper-lacquered wooden sign with exquisite and beautiful patterns. On one side was the word "Qingfuying" and on the other side was the word "Baijiang".
"County Lieutenant, is this for me? It's so majestic. It's much more majestic than being a shift leader!" Liu Jinsuo was overjoyed.
He touched his waist, turned around and saw a few boxes on the ground. He picked up the armor inside and looked at it. It was armor modified from Meng Zu's leather armor. It was still lined with red and had stitches on the leather.
The material of iron tablets.
"Haha, is this for brothers? It looks much more comfortable."
Han Chengxu said: "Considering that what we have most is the armor captured from the Mongolian army, there are more than three hundred pairs, and both leather and iron can be used, so it is easier to modify. In addition, our original leather armor is also
It can be modified.”
Li Xia said: "Yes, let's change it according to this style."
They all have the same style of armor, red cloth, and black iron pieces tied on the leather. There are differences in details between the generals, the generals, and the generals, which satisfies Li Xia's slightly obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Yes, if you want to make more than a thousand pairs of leather and iron pieces, you need to wait for Qi'an to come back and build a workshop."
"Mr. Han just builds..."
Li Xia chatted with Han Chengxu for a while and rewarded several craftsmen generously.
Liu Jinsuo didn't find the bronze mirror either, so he just kept touching his clothes and armor. He was still giggling until Li Xia finished chatting with Han Chengxu.
"Okay, take it off."
"Hey, County Lieutenant, you have to give it to me anyway, so why take it off? I'll wear it as new clothes for the New Year."
"This is a sample."
Liu Jinsuo didn't understand what a "sample" was, but since Li Xia said it in a commanding tone, he didn't dare to joke anymore and reluctantly took it off.
Just when he was about to put on the old leather armor, Han Chengxu threw a new coat to him.
"The old leather armor was collected and remade."
"oh."
The craftsmen collected their clothes and armor and carried the boxes out.
Li Xia didn't change his clothes and asked: "You haven't caught Yu Dechen yet, do you plan to keep him for the New Year?"
"County Lieutenant, I suspect he has escaped from the city, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find him."
Li Xia said: "Jiang Fan is back, let him search. You hand over to him."
"Ah? Then I'm so shameless."
"You follow Mr. Han and distribute the new clothes to the river patrolmen and collect the old leather armor. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are many chores in the camp. You can help Bao San do it."
When Liu Jinsuo heard this, he felt that doing these things would be more enjoyable and said loudly: "Okay!"
Han Chengxu smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm busy today."
"Mr. Han, I'll go find Jiang Fan to hand over to you first."
"Let's go together. I'll order two more carts of wine to the camp."
"Really?! That's great!"
"It's Chinese New Year..."
~~
Qinxiang Tea House.
This place was originally the property of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shifei often discussed business with people here.
Yan Yunyun did nothing else these days but took over the tea business.
She believed that there were some matters that Li Xia should not come forward and discuss in the county government office.
On this day, she was talking to the shopkeeper of the Lu family in the elegant room of the teahouse. The shopkeeper's name was "Lu Gui", he was over forty years old, and his temperament was much more elegant than Du Zhixin's.
"I heard... that some matters in the county can be handled by Manager Yan?" Lu Gui asked slowly, with a somewhat tentative tone.
Lu Gyu asked to see Li Xia for several days, but Li Xia didn't see him. It wasn't until he stopped Han Chengxu on the road yesterday and got advice from Han Chengxu that he came over.
Unexpectedly, the person responsible for this matter was a strange woman with half her face burned.
Yan Yunyun held the tea cup, stood at the window and looked at the two salt shops across the street, and said directly: "Is that salt shop going to open soon?"
Lu Gui then knew that he had indeed found the rightful owner and said: "Yes, that is illicit salt from other places. Qingfu County is a provincial government and we must not allow people to openly sell illicit salt."
"I heard that the ones they sell are also official salt, and some are sold with salt."
"It's just a stone of official salt." Lu Gui said, "This is too blatant."
Yan Yunyun said: "Then I don't know. I am a teahouse owner, not a salt seller."
"If you don't tell secrets, is it true that the county won't pay for this illegal salt? If it really doesn't, I have no choice but to file a lawsuit with the Transportation Department."
Yan Yunyun took a seat with his teacup in hand and said without hesitation: "If it is really private salt, of course the county will have to pay it."
She, a woman from a wealthy background, actually spoke in an official tone and said, "But, do you have any evidence that he is a private person?"
Lu Gui smiled, held out a box and said, "Shopkeeper Yan, please see if this is evidence..."
~~
Jiang Fan sat in the teahouse for a while and saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes coming down from upstairs.
He then got up and went into the private room, where he saw Yan Yunyun holding a small box and looking at it.
"Ms. Yan, the county captain asked me to come see you."
Jiang Fan took out a booklet, put it on the table, and said: "This is Wu Tong's salt well that I found, the list of shopkeepers, etc. Mr. Han asked me to give it to you, you can read it yourself."
Jiang Fan said and looked at Yan Yunyun.
After he came out of the army, he knew that in the future he would probably do some secret killing and investigation work for the county lieutenant, such as killing Wu Tong.
As for running various businesses, he didn't know how to do it and had no interest in learning. He originally thought that Han Qi'an would be the one to do it, but he didn't want it to be replaced by Yan Yunyun, a woman this time.
Women? Can they do this?
Yan Yunyun seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Bantou Jiang is finally back. Mr. Yi Ning went to Xuzhou. I will cooperate with you this time... just like I did with the Zhang family last time."
Jiang Fan grinned, as this last sentence relieved a lot of worries, and said: "Hey, I just kill people."
"Then you and I will have to cooperate more in the future."
"Okay." Jiang Fan pointed at the box in Yan Yunyun's hand with the hook and asked, "This is it?"
"The money, given by the Lu family, totals three hundred dollars." Yan Yunyun took out a pen and made a check on the account, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already recorded it in the account."
Jiang Fan said: "Stingy, Wu Tong plans to give the county captain six thousand guan a year."
"The stingy one and the generous one are almost dead. Jiang Bantou, let's sit down and talk. Do you want to sit on my left or my right?"
"What's the difference?" Jiang Fan was stunned, then sat down opposite Yan Yunyun and said, "Tell me, how should we do it?"
…
After chatting with Yan Yunyun, Jiang Fan went downstairs, took the dog, called two people and said: "Take people to Lu's house and search Yin's house. They say someone saw the assassin from the north escaping nearby, and then let him go."
A few things are in their house..."
"Understood."
After explaining this matter, he left the teahouse and saw Liu Jinsuo striding over.
"Hey, Jiang Gouzi, did the county captain really entrust you with the task of hunting down Taoist Yu? I'm not afraid that you would let him go."
"The county captain can trust me." Jiang Fan said, "Let's go, take me around the county and see how you search."
"I've searched countless times, but there's no clue at all." Liu Jinsuo took out a map from his pocket and pointed while walking.
"Look, the county government is here...I chased him here...but after so many days, I'm afraid he has escaped from the city..."
Jiang Fan followed him around the county town and said, "Okay, I'll come find him. I know this county better and many people can help me find out. This matter won't be difficult for you, a fool."
"You're the fool!"
"Hey, I'm stupid, look at how many days I can catch someone."
"By the way, I heard that you are no longer a river patrolman? What a pity. Let me tell you, it will be adapted soon. We just made a suit of armor for the county captain. It's so majestic."
"Brother Liu." Jiang Fan grinned and said, "Where did you get the money to make this armor?"
As he spoke, he hooked the hook on the wall next to him and said, "Someone should hook this money back to you."
~~
Li Xia changed his clothes and armor, thinking that tomorrow was New Year's Eve, he reviewed the year for a while, and finally thought of the arrangements for the past few days and murmured.
"Barracks, staff, spies, business...the four small teams have taken shape..."
