Chapter 18: Treating Evil with Evil

In the afterglow of the sunset, Jiang Anyi dragged her tired body back home. All day long, Jiang Anyi was scrutinizing news about Hou Qi, but the result was uneasy. The home was very quiet, and my mother should have taken Yan'er to the new house with her. An Yong didn't know where she was wild again.

Jiang Anyi climbed the bamboo mountain along the trail. The coolness of the bamboo forest took away the irritability and fatigue. The "rustling" bamboo sound relieved the tense nerves. The hut in the setting sun was quiet and warm. In the new house, my mother held Yan'er's hand and patrolled around, and Yan'er jumped restlessly; not far away, An Yong waved his bamboo sword and led a group of "soldiers" to fight, everything was as beautiful as a dream.

Facing the sunset, Jiang Anyi smiled, and the bamboo leaves in his hand were kneaded into pieces. His warm smile was pulled into curved corners by the setting sun, turning into a grim smile. This time, Jiang Anyi took the initiative to release the devil in his heart.

Hou Qi was kicked out after being cut off and went out. With the help of Ma Ba and his old colleagues in the yamen, he lived by relying on the casino to draw red and lend money to the usury. Because Ma Ba and others were under the influence, he got nearly a thousand taels of silver in just one month, and the casino also recruited a group of minions.

When Hou Qi thought of Jiang Anyi, he gritted his teeth, but the current Jiang family was not something he could easily mess with. It was not possible on the surface, so Hou Qi secretly sent someone to sneak into the Jiang family with a bad intention, but unexpectedly he was disturbed by the horse and failed.

Hou Qi and Ma Ba clinked a cup and said angrily: "Brother, don't look at the good life now, but I'm not happy with my brother. When I think of the boy named Jiang, I feel like I have a thorn in my heart and feel uncomfortable."

Ma Bayan took a sip of wine, picked up a large piece of fat meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it all over his mouth, wiped it with his sleeve, and smiled and said, "Brother Hou, don't be anxious. I heard that boy wanted to study in another place. We will find a way to deal with him after a while. We have no choice but to deal with people."

Under the light, Jiang Anyi sat at the table, planning for the news coming, and finally set his eyes on Liu Simazi.

Liu Simazi is a gangster in the Nancheng area and also opened a casino. Hou Qi's casino was not far from him. The two of them became dirty. They started business, robbed customers, and secretly used all kinds of tricks to attack each other. As a result, Hou Qi spent money to hire a master to fall down Liu Simazi's casino. Liu Simazi was angry and gathered a group of brothers to teach Hou Qi a lesson. Unexpectedly, Ma Ba and the yamen run into the cell all the way. They were both boarded and fined. Finally, they were out of prison, but their wife sold the house and ran away with the people. Without money, their brothers were no longer obedient and ended up living in the City God Temple. They wandered around the streets every day and blackmailed them, eating a tycoon meal to seek life.

The next morning, Jiang Anyi greeted his mother and said that she would stay at Guo’s house for a few days. Jiang Huang thought it was noisy to build a new house, so she agreed without thinking too much. Jiang Anyi entered the city and did not go to Guo’s house. Instead, he found an inn to stay in and sat in the house and waited for darkness.

In the evening, Liu Simazi followed a few of her former friends to the hotel, and rushed in after the food and food was served. She sat down and ate without any explanation. Everyone was not good at rushing him, so she had to keep him to eat and drink together. After drinking and eating, Liu Simazi wrapped the leftovers on the table, and then staggered back to where he lived.

The Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city has been disrepair and was abandoned. The statues inside are gloomy and afraid of people. At night, few people travel. When it is almost time for Hai, the dark clouds in the sky cover the moonlight. It is pitch black in front of the Chenghuang Temple. The temple gate has long been lost. From a distance, it looks like a monster with a wide mouth and selecting people to eat.

When he came to the door and urinated, Liu Simazi stood by the temple gate to release water. When he was just happy, he suddenly heard a low voice in the temple saying, "Liu Simazi?"

Liu Sima was so scared that he was so scared that he didn't care about the urine on the ground. He lay down and kowtowed repeatedly, screaming: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, the little one was not intentionally rushing, I will definitely buy a pig's head to offer tomorrow, grandpa, grandpa, let's go."

In the darkness in the temple, Jiang Anyi was amused and crying. He originally wanted to talk to Liu Simazi about dealing with Hou Qi, but he was misunderstood to become the City God.

Jiang Anyi had a sudden inspiration and continued calmly: "Liu Simazi, you are extremely guilty. I will take you back to the underworld tonight. If you still have the intention of repentance, I will spare your life. However, the quota in the underworld cannot be missing, and one life will be worth one life."

Liu Si Mazi's teeth were "grand" and his whole body was shaking. He only heard the City God continue to say, "You go find Hou Qi to pay his life. If you kill him, you will have to live. Remember, if you can't do it within three days, that is your death."

After quietly leaving the City God Temple, Jiang Anyi came to a secluded place, wiped off the black ash from his face, took off his black shirt, and tore off the sticky fake beard. The beard was a prop for acting bought at the stall. As for the way to disguise, it was learned from his memory.

The next day, Jiang Anyi returned home. On the third day, Guo Huaili came. After a hilarious moment, Guo Huaili pulled Jiang Anyi into the room and said in a daze: "Do you know that Hou Qi was killed by Liu Simao?"

Jiang Anyi was delighted and asked with a look of surprise on his face, "What's going on?"

"The day before yesterday, Liu Simazi came to Hou Qi's casino and happened to meet Hou Qi. Liu Simazi took out a knife from his arms and stabbed Hou Qi five times. Hou Qi died on the spot. After Liu Simazi was caught, he said that it was the City God who asked him to do it. Are you ridiculous?"

A trace of guilt flashed in Jiang Anyi's eyes and asked, "How is Liu Simazi now?"

"What else can you do? Be in jail. I asked a traitor about killing people and killing people. I guess I can't survive anymore. This kid deserves the crime." Guo Huaili didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic: "The folding fan business is very popular. My father asked you to sell for 200 taels of silver, and the other 100 taels is dividends."

The package was placed heavily on the table, and Jiang Anyi was overjoyed. Of course, the more money the better. The money he had to go out to study could be looser, and there was no need to worry about not being able to afford the charcoal.

"By the way, imitation folding fans appeared on the market. Is there any way, An Yi?" The folding fan business was first proposed by Guo Huaili. Guo Haiqing secretly promised the business to him, so Guo Huaili was very concerned.

Jiang Anyi has already experienced the sinister nature of the people. He was mentally prepared for the folding fan to be counterfeited, and even thought that there might be a gangster who would fight openly and secretly. However, he was just a scholar, and the Guo family was not a powerful man, so he was unable to guard against these secret conspiracies.

Looking at the silver on the table, Jiang Anyi shook his head and sighed: "It's really impossible for a moment. Our bamboo utensils have been processed, and they will not turn moldy, yellow or change color. After a while, our bamboo utensils have the upper hand. You might as well change the pattern, change the size of the fan, and find some incense wood to make incense fans, and you can also find celebrities to write and paint on the fan, and the price can be sold higher."

Guo Huaili slapped his stomach excitedly and praised: "Xiao Jiang, I really don't know how your head grows. I still say there is no way. This is a series of tricks. Tsk, I'm convinced you. It seems that it won't take long to do business. Your ability to do business will surpass me."

Jiang Anyi was secretly ashamed. He had no choice but to do so. This was all in his memory. However, Jiang Anyi had already sobered up to seek wisdom from the demons. It was quite a bit like yours, and mine still meant me.

Hou Qi died, and only Ma Ba was left. The person who framed An Yong was Hou Qi, who was accomplice. Hou Qi's death eliminated Jiang Anyi's hatred for Ma Ba, and perhaps Ma Ba must be killed.

A letter from Yu's mansion gave Jiang Anyi an idea. The letter was sent by Master Yu. In the letter, Yu Zhijie congratulated Jiang Anyi on the head of the case and told him not to waste time, to visit the master, study hard, and not to rush to participate in the provincial examination, and to become famous after a solid foundation. After the examination, he came to the capital early and then resumed his master's and discipleship. In the letter, he mentioned that he had been transferred from the Minister of Revenue to the Minister of Personnel.

The six ministers of the Dazheng Department were all third-ranked, and the three ministers of the Ministry of Officials, Households and Military Departments were divided into two at the left and right. The Ministry of Rites and Criminals and Works only had one minister. The official rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was the fourth-ranked, and the exception was the fourth-ranked, so they were often regarded as the reserve candidate for the Secretary of the Secretary. Yu Zhijie was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to the Minister of Personnel, and was promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and had a great prospect. No wonder the Yu Mansion was full of joy.

Jiang Anyi knew that Yu Zhijie went home to visit relatives some time ago just a nominal statement. In fact, he offended some powerful people and avoided the limelight. Unexpectedly, he was promoted after returning. Jiang Anyi was not clear about the ups and downs of the officialdom, but Yu Zhijie's energy-saving promotion was good news for him.

This letter reminded Jiang Anyi that County Magistrate Chen had asked him to explain to Master Yu about being deceived. Of course, Jiang Anyi would not be so bored that he really reported this matter to Master Yu, but this matter can be used.

The next day, Jiang Anyi brought a gift to the magistrate Chen. After receiving the gift, he was naturally in a good mood. After a few words, Jiang Anyi said inadvertently: "Some time ago, the master asked me to explain to Master Yu that he was deceived by Hou Qimaba. Master Yu has replied. In the letter, he admired the magistrate of the adult who is jealous of evil. He specifically asked if Hou Qimaba had learned the lesson and changed the bad habits of the people."

Then, Jiang Anyi told Chen County Magistrate that Yu Zhijie was promoted to Minister of Personnel. Yu Zhijie was promoted to Minister of Personnel for officials in charge of the world. This news greatly encouraged Chen County Magistrate. As the parent official of Yu Zhijie's hometown, he had natural advantages. Chen Shide had no intention of making fun of Jiang Anyi, and was thinking about how to get closer to Yu's mansion and be promoted to himself during the exam next year.

Jiang Anyi said goodbye and left. The stage was set up and he was just waiting for the show to come on stage. Two days later, a piece of paper appeared in the yamen, suing Ma Ba for bullying others by virtue of his power and taking advantage of his tricks. County Magistrate Chen was furious and beat Ma Ba twenty boards, and also opened Ma Ba out of the yamen and never hired him.

This play was arranged by Jiang Anyi. As for the victim who sued Ma Ba, he was originally a commoner who was bullied by Ma Ba. Suddenly someone paid him money to sue him, he naturally agreed. In this lawsuit, County Magistrate Chen gained a reputation of justice and selflessness, secretly collected hundreds of taels of silver, and the victim had to return part of his property. Jiang Anyi had removed the cancer and everyone was happy.

As for Ma Ba, everyone pushed him down. The original good brother became a life-threatening devil, desperately exploiting his wealth. The evil people will be beaten by the evil people, and no one will sympathize with him.
