Chapter 64: First rites and then soldiers

There are always some things that come unexpectedly. This is the second time that someone wants to take away charcoal. There are always some people in this world who rely on their power to rob other people’s things. In their hearts, there is no word "law" at all. Perhaps these two words are just for people who are stronger than them.

Jiang Anyi frowned and had no choice but to do anything for a moment. Sichen carried Jiang Anyi on his back, gently pulled Laxinfei's sleeve, and spoke with his eyes: "Girl, are we going to help Mr. Jiang?"

Xinfei shook Qiong's head slightly. Although she had a good impression of Jiang Anyi, she did not mean that she recognized Jiang Anyi. The prince, the prince, the literati and talented, and many heroes appeared beside her. Of course, Xinfei had to choose. Xinfei was about to take this matter to further see how Jiang Anyi's ability to deal with things and adapt to things. Another point is that everyone knows that the Dragon Guard is powerful, but they do not know that the hidden waves are surging. Long Guard had committed several unjust prisons against ministers under the instructions of the emperor. Later, the emperor punished and suppressed the Dragon Guard in order to appease the ministers, but the officials' fear of Long Guard was deeply rooted in their hearts, and they would not let it go easily if they found an opportunity. Therefore, Long Guard intervened for matters without reason.

The teacher is so angry that he didn't think so much about it. It is recommended to come to the door and ask for a horse back.

The group went down the mountain to the village first, which was a small village of about a hundred families. The Shitou family lived in the same family with four generations, with an old man and a nephew. A family of more than twenty people lived in seven or eight thatched huts, which was comparable to the Jiang family two years ago.

When Shi Tou heard Shi Tou seeing the horse that lost the guest, the whole family was shocked. One horse costs for forty or fifty taels of silver, and he can't afford to pay for the horse even if he sells all his belongings. Shi Tou's father, a farmer in his forties, picked up the bamboo broom in the corner and pulled it towards Shi Tou.

Jiang Anyi quickly stopped him and said, "This uncle is not about stone affairs, don't hit him. I came here to say that because he knows the person who robs the horse, I want to take him to the county to make an appointment."

Seeing that the guests had no intention of pursuing them, Shitou's family breathed a sigh of relief. Shitou's grandfather invited Jiang Anyi and others to sit in the house, and ordered his family to grab chickens and pick vegetables to greet the guests for dinner.

Jiang Anyi waved his hand and smiled, "It's not too late, so there's no need to worry. I'm going to go back to the county town and let Shi Tou follow you. You can rest assured and you will never let him down. When the matter is settled, I will send him back in person."

When Shitou's family saw that Xin Fei and other women were dressed in gorgeous clothes and embroidered with complex flower decorations, they could smell a seductive fragrance from afar. Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben dressed up and rode horses, they should be rich people. They asked about their names and places and nodded in agreement.

Shitou's mother pulled the stone to a corner, and carefully reminded her, constantly wiping her tears, making it look like a parting of life and death. Seeing that the Shitou family was in trouble, Jiang Anyi took out a few taels of broken silver and handed it to Shitou family, saying, "This broken silver is considered a commission for Shitou. If it takes a long time to delay, I will give it another thank you at that time."

Although he was poor, the Shitou family refused to take over the silver ounce. Grandpa Shitou said with a tense face: "Thank you, my grandson, although our family is poor, they are wise. There is no reason to collect money from the young master. Shitou, don't cry anymore, let Shitou and Master Jiang go, don't let the guests laugh at him."

Xinfei and the others had a carriage. Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben rode one horse and two horses, followed the carriage and headed towards Linyang City.

Xinfei's carriage was decorated beautifully and the space was large enough, and six people were not crowded at all. Shi Tou squatted in the corner of the car, so embarrassed that his hands and legs had nowhere to be placed, for fear that he would accidentally break the objects in the car.

Sifeng felt the most pity for the stone. He took out the dried cookies and dried fruits from the secret lattice, put them on a plate, squatted beside the stone, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of the stone, don't squat there, sit next to you to eat. My sister was like you when she was a child, and her family was very poor. Mr. Jiang is a good person. No matter whether she finds a horse or not, it will not be difficult for you. Don't worry, get up quickly."

Siyu and Sichen were not a few years older than Shi Tou. Seeing that Shi Tou was so cute, they came over and took out some small objects to tease the stone. The children couldn't hide their worries. When the vehicle stopped in front of the Yuepeng old shop in the county town, Shi Tou had already regained its vitality. He jumped out of the car, stood beside him, holding the curtain, and looked around with big eyes.

Yuepeng Old Store is a century-old store with an old store with a look of old appearance and a unique world inside: the spring flowers are brilliant all the way, the courtyard is covered with bamboos, the white walls, green tiles and black columns are spotless, and it is spotless and refreshing. Jiang Anyi has two adjacent small courtyards. The apricot flowers are blooming in full bloom in the courtyard, and the white flowers are swaying on the trees, laughing and the fragrance is amazing.

"It's so beautiful." Sifeng murmured to himself when he saw the apricot blossoms.

When Shi Tou heard this, he threw his straw sandals and was about to climb up the tree. He climbed and said, "Sister, I'll go and pick flowers for you."

Sifeng's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly grabbed him from behind and said, "Stones, don't be naughty. It's not a playful thing to fall down. Flowers look good when they bloom on trees. If they pick them, they won't live long."

Shi Tou seemed to understand, but he didn't climb again after listening to someone's advice. Sifeng took him into the room. After a while, he heard Sifeng screaming loudly. It seemed that Shi Tou was really naughty. Jiang Anyi and Xinfei looked at each other and smiled.

Facing a beauty is like watching a beautiful scenery, which is always pleasing to the eye. After Xinfei untied the veil, even a square person like Fan Shinben could not help but look at it a few more times. Xinfei's cheeks turned red and she covered her mouth: "I'm tired today, let's rest soon. I'll go to Yiyong Bo's Mansion with Mr. Jiang tomorrow to see what's going on."

Jiang Anyi and others stood up, called Shi Tou, and rested in the courtyard next to him without mentioning it.

A night of spring rain washed the trees with apricot flowers red and white, as gorgeous as fragrant snow. Fan Shiben sighed: "If you are at the Apricot Flower View at this time, you can truly be called the 'Apricot Flower Scent'."

"I listen to the spring rain in the small building overnight, and sell apricot flowers in the deep alley in the Ming Dynasty." This feeling and this scene came from Jiang Anyi's mouth.

"Okay, good poetry." Outside the gate of the courtyard, Xinfei walked in with four girls and happened to hear this famous line of eternal words. How could the eyes of Jiang Anyi not burst into sparks of admiration? Even the four people behind her were a little confused.

Shi Tou shouted "Sister Sifeng" and ran forward. Siyu asked, "Young Master Jiang, have you eaten? Let's go after you finish eating and go to the street to take a walk."

It was painful to go shopping with a woman. Before Chenshi, I left and came to Yiyong's mansion almost noon. The smiles on Jiang Anyi and Fan Shi Ben's faces were replaced by bitter smiles. Only Shi Tou held a lot of food in his hand, and his face was blushed with happiness.

The vermilion gate of Yiyong Bo Mansion is topped with a plaque with golden nanmu and four golden characters "Yiyong Bo Mansion". There are horse-mounted stones and horse-mounted stones on both sides of the steps, and horse-mounted stakes. There are two black lacquered benches on the left and right sides of the gate. Four people dressed in servants are sitting idle and having fun.

Seeing Jiang Anyi and others raising the steps, a fat man stood up at the left, and shouted with his waist on his back: "Stop, who are you? How dare you break into the uncle's mansion with a swagger?"

Jiang Anyi stopped, held his fists and bowed, "I am in Xia's surname Jiang, and I come to see Master. If you have any questions, the housekeeper will send you a message."

"Haha, the surname Jiang is amazing." Fatty disciple sneered: "How can I see you? My uncle is in Kejiao City. You go to Lingzhou to find him, go quickly, go quickly."

Jiang Anyi heard Shi Tou describe the fact that the person who robbed the horse was not old. Yi Yongbo took his eldest son to guard Kejiao City, Lingzhou. The person who robbed the horse was probably his second son Yang Huaizhong. Jiang Anyi kept smiling and said, "Then I'll tell you the second son to the second son, and the horse owner of Xinghualing came to see him."

The fat man's eyes were circling. He heard that the second young master robbed a horse yesterday. He couldn't like it. All the family members who followed him received rewards. He still regretted why he didn't go to appreciate the flowers with the second young master, otherwise the reward of two taels of silver would not be able to escape. Now the owner has come to the door and must not let him see the second young master. If he has done this, the second young master will not be able to give him twenty or thirty taels of reward. Maybe the second young master will be happy and can give Yingchun to himself as his wife.

The fat man swallowed and scolded with a stern face: "Go away, go away, the second young master will not see you idle people, what the owner is, I have nothing to do with my Yiyong Mansion, I still have your things. Let's go away, if you are not ignorant, I will call the official and let you have a few days of jail."

Mr. Fan was so angry that he cursed: "It's really outrageous. If you forcefully rob property, what's the law of heaven?" The other three sitting on the bench also stood up staggeringly, hugging their arms in front of them, and they all stood up straight, making a big fight if they had a disagreement.

Jiang Anyi pulled Fan Shiben back and went down the steps. The four men laughed proudly. Xinfei and others stood at the steps to watch. Seeing Jiang Anyi down the steps, Sichen snorted angrily: "What a coward."

Xinfei was also very surprised. She arrested Guo Jingshan that day. She had seen Jiang Anyi take action. These doors were tied together and were not his opponents. Could it be that she was afraid of the power of Yiyong Bo Mansion? If she was really afraid of the powerful person, it would not be worthy of her life.

Teacher Fan said angrily: "An Yi, why are you so afraid of things? Master said 'The brave are not afraid'. We scholars have justice in our hearts, how can we be afraid of these people who despise the poor?"

Jiang Anyi didn't explain, and took everyone away from Yiyong Bo's Mansion and explained: "I asked someone when I was shopping just now that Yiyong Bo's family has a good reputation in Linyang County, and Yang Bo's family has a very strict tutoring. Yang Bo's and his two sons are guarding Kejiao City. This is because Yang's mother is absent. Yang Huaizhong went home to serve his relatives, but he didn't expect to steal my horse. If I make a fuss in front of the mansion, the reputation of Yang's mansion is unfavorable. Since I can't see Yang Huaizhong, I will find another way."

Obviously, Jiang Anyi worked hard and took everyone through the streets and alleys to the West Street. Jiang Anyi pointed to the lively street and said, "This West Street is almost the property of the Bo Mansion. Let's start from here and lead Yang Huaizhong to show up."

Not far ahead, the street is facing the street, with a large black wood diamond-shaped sign with three large characters "Jinyufang". Four burly men in front of the door welcome the guests with a smile on their faces. It is a gambling house. Dazheng does not ban gambling. Jinyufang is the industry of Bo Mansion. With the power of Bo Mansion as a backer, the gambling house is fair, so the business is booming. Some gamblers from all over the world come to spend a lot of money.
