Sock Lane, where the Xia Mansion is located, is south of the Bianhe River. When Bianliang was expanding, the enclosure was expanded along the Bianhe River. It was at that time that Xia Song selected this piece of land to build the new house.{{{
(_)}}}
This place name gives a real image. If you look down from a high altitude, the entire alley looks like a sock on the ground. The top of the sock faces the Bianhe River, then turns west and crosses the Bianhe River to Baokangmen, one of the three gates in the south city.
The incense connection of Po Hongmen Street.
In this alley, most of the official residences were built for themselves by imperial officials, but the largest official was only Xia Song, and the rest were all fourth- and fifth-rank officials from the capital.
Yang Cha is one of them. Yang Cha is the second son-in-law of Yan Shu. He followed his father-in-law Yan Shu in the Third Division and got a job as a judge. It is not a big job, but it is a fat job. In addition, with the blessing of his father-in-law, he has a little wife.
It was a comfortable life; Yang Cha was unattractive in appearance and low-key in behavior, but he had a lot of calculations. After he won the Jinshi, he tried every means to get in touch with Yan Shu. He knew that Yan Shu liked banquets and especially liked good wine. Yang Cha
He did not hesitate to sell his house in his hometown of Luzhou, and with the money he got, he bought fine wine and put it into Yan Shu's belly.
Hard work paid off, and precisely because he was very well-behaved, he won Yan Shu's favor and was able to come in and out of Yan's house freely. From this, a series of chance encounters took place. The second young lady of the Yan family always bumped into this unattractive guy inadvertently. Over time,
They actually developed a good impression, so Yang Cha came to the house and became the Yan family's soon-to-be son-in-law.
All this happened so naturally that Yan Shu didn't even notice it. Even when the second daughter nodded and agreed, Yan Shu just woke up from a dream and found that his nest was taken over by this guy. Fortunately, Yang Cha was somewhat talented, as for the
What does it mean if he doesn't look good? Even if he is an illiterate white man, as long as he catches Yan Shu's path, he will definitely rise to the top.
Yang Cha was one of those who made a fortune in silence. Within a few years, his previous investment had returned hundreds of times, so he also built a big house in Sock Alley. Coincidentally, Yang Cha
Chabian was built opposite to Xia Song's house.
Xia Song has a high official position and a domineering house. The land from Sock Alley to Baokangmen Street is deep, and ordinary families can live in at least twenty or thirty households, but it is directly connected to the two houses of Xia Song and Yang Cha.
Xia Song's house occupies two-thirds of the depth, while Yang Cha's only occupies one-third.
After Su Jin received Xia Siling's letter asking for help in the afternoon, he had been discussing what to do. He must be rescued, but if he led someone to forcefully break in through the main entrance like they did in Yuzhang Tower, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very good.
In fact, there are hundreds of people guarding the Xia family's main residence, and there are many people with high martial arts skills. Judging from the skills of the two people who assassinated him last time, it is indeed as Uncle Lu said that this new group of people is not good.
Although Su Jin is a stubborn person, he will not be stupid enough to let his men fight with bayonets unless it is absolutely necessary.
While thinking hard, Yan Biyun woke up the dreamer with a word: "Socks Alley? Doesn't the second brother-in-law live in Socks Alley?"
Su Jin was stunned and said: "You are talking about Yang Cha? Where does he live too?"
Yan Biyun said: "I've been to the slave family once, but I don't know how far away it is from Xia's house. Since you are worried that you will be injured if you break in, and you are too reckless, why not ask brother-in-law Yang, maybe he knows the terrain and can help.
.”
Su Jin was a little hesitant. If he went to find Yang Cha, he would be exposing the grudge between himself and Xia Song to him. Moreover, he was going to privately enter a private house and would inevitably have to kill people. If these things were done to Yang Cha,
Cha knew it, but he didn't know if it was a disaster or a blessing. After all, he didn't have a close relationship with Yang Cha.
However, Su Jin quickly made a decision. He didn't need to explain anything to Yang Cha at all. He only had to ask about the situation himself. Maybe Yang Cha would suspect something, but so what? Just let him go.
Su Jin didn't know the road, and Yan Biyun had been there before, but Su Jin would never let Yan Biyun follow him. Fortunately, Xiao Xian'er seemed to have some impressions, so Su Jin ordered Wang Chao, Ma Han and others to entangle more than fifty people.
In the midst of lightning and thunder, the nurse got on the carriage and went straight to Baokangmen Street.
Xiao Xian'er said that Yang Cha's residence was said to be in Socks Alley, but in fact the gate faced Baokangmen Street, and the land belonged to Socks Alley. Su Jinxin said that it was best this way, as it would save them from passing by the front door of Xia Zhai after entering the alley.
It may arouse the suspicion of the Xia family's companions.
When they arrived in front of the Yang Mansion, it was raining heavily. Su Jin Dynasty and others sat in the car and parked at the corner of the street to wait. He knocked on the door of the Yang Mansion with Xiao Sui'er.
Yang Cha's family was having dinner, and his family came to report that Su Jin had come, which shocked Yang Cha; this cousin of the Yan family was more generous than his real uncle, and he could almost walk sideways in and out of the Yan family. Of course he wanted to
Establish a good relationship with him, but this man only seems to be kind to Fu Bi, and he is neither salty nor indifferent to himself. If they were not all from Luzhou, they would not even have a few words to say. Now this man actually came to the door in the rain.
, Yang Cha was obviously a little surprised.
"What kind of wind has brought the number one scholar here? The plum blossoms are so bright." Yang Cha laughed and let Su Jin into the main hall. Yang Cha's wife also came from the inner hall to meet the guests. They are all relatives, so they can't help but be polite.
Ichiban.
Su Jin only said: "My younger brother went out to do some business. When he passed by this place, it suddenly started to rain heavily. He heard from Xiao Xian'er that Brother-in-law Yang lived here, so he came uninvited to take shelter from the rain and stopped by to recognize the door so that we could interact with each other next time.
"
Yang Cha naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't tell the truth. The two chatted for a while, and Su Jin brought the topic to the house, praising the layout of Yang's house for its good location.
When Yang Cha was humble, Su Jin changed the topic and asked: "I heard that the residence of Xia Song, the deputy privy envoy of the dynasty, was also here?"
Yang Cha's eyelids twitched. He had already heard that Su Jin and Xia Song were not in love. Although it was just a rumor, Yang Cha never thought that the rumors were just rumors.
"To be precise, the gate of Xia Mansion is far away from the gate of my house."
"Oh..." Su Jin's eyes flashed with disappointment, which was caught by Yang Cha in just a moment.
"But... the back doors of our two families are very close to each other." Yang Cha said calmly, looking at Su Jin from the corner of his eyes.
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat and he said with a smile: "Oh? Doesn't it mean that the tower near the water comes first? Brother Yang and Deputy Ambassador Xia live next to each other, so they can communicate frequently."
Yang Cha waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? I, Mr. Yang, have never bothered to make friends with this person. To be honest, I despise his behavior. When I built this house, I didn't even know that it would be adjacent to him. If I knew
How can we build a house here?”
Su Jin was very surprised, what was the purpose of Yang Cha's words? He just said it casually, but Yang Cha swore from the bottom of his heart, which was strange.
Of course, Yang Cha is not a heartless person. He has already seen that Su Jin must have something to do when he comes today. Seeing that Su Jin is evasive and refuses to say anything, he can only make his position clear first to let Su Jin put aside his worries; communicate.
The secret is to be honest with each other. If you reveal your true feelings to the other person and take the initiative to put your pigtails into their hands and grab them, the other party will definitely not be wary of you and will say what you want to say. Yang Cha is naturally proficient in this.
Very, it’s not that big of a deal anyway. Xia Song is not on good terms with Yan Shu. He obviously wants to be consistent with Yan Shu. This position is originally affirmative. It’s nothing to slander Xia Song behind his back. If necessary, Yang Cha
He also dared to contradict Xia Song in court.
As expected, Su Jin relaxed his guard, thought for a moment and asked, "Your house and the Xia family's house are built back to back, so it's hard not to come into contact with them."
Yang Cha said: "There is no boundary at all. Although the back doors are facing each other, they are built with high walls. There is a small river between the two walls. There is no communication at all."
Su Jin was overjoyed and said softly: "Can you take me to take a look? I know that Brother Yang will definitely find it strange, but after seeing it, I will tell you the reason in detail?"
Yang Cha smiled and said: "There is no need to explain to me the reason, but regarding your brother Su, firstly, we are relatives, secondly, we are fellow villagers, and thirdly, I have long admired you. As long as I can help, please do it yourself."
.”
Su Jin didn't expect Yang Cha to be such a sensible person. Hearing this, he bowed deeply and said, "Brother Yang is a wonderful man. I have made you my friend."
Yang Cha didn't say a word, stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture, and took Su Jin to the backyard. The two of them came to the wall wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats. Su Jin looked up and saw that the wall of the Yang family was about ten feet high. It was built with green bricks and paved on top.
It was full of porcelain tiles and thorns. When I approached the back door and looked out along the crack in the door, I saw a rushing stream flowing through the back door. On the opposite bank two feet away was the tall Xia family, which was more than twice as tall as Yang's house.
The backyard is fenced.
The height of this wall was beyond Su Jin's imagination. Only half of the crown of the big trees inside could be exposed, and it was covered with ancient moss. It was impossible to climb up. Besides, it was built next to the river, so there was no place to stand on it.
Su Jin watched for a while, then pulled Yang Cha to the corridor of the backyard and said softly: "Brother Yang, to be honest, today I am taking people to Xia Mansion to rescue a person; if you enter from the front door, you will definitely have to fight with him.
Something happened to the Xia Family Nursing Home, so I wanted to use the backyard of your house, but now I have a new way to bother Brother Yang."
Yang Cha said in surprise: "Are you going to enter the Xia Mansion? It's very dangerous. There are many nursing homes in the Xia Mansion. You can often hear dogs barking in the backyard of the Xia Mansion. Maybe there are vicious dogs."
Su Jin said: "It's okay, it's imperative. I'll take my leave. Brother Yang will just pretend he's never seen me and come to visit me."
Su Jin hurriedly said goodbye and left the gate of Yang Mansion. The wind and rain became even worse. Su Jin got on the carriage and took Wang Chao, Ma Han and others straight to the Bian River.
Su Jin figured it out, he couldn't enter through Yang's house. After tonight, there will definitely be a government investigation tomorrow. If he and others enter from Yang's house, they will inevitably leave traces. The government will easily detect these traces, and then they will be in trouble.
.
What Su Jin needs is another way to enter. As long as his foothold is not in the Yang Mansion, he has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion.
