Chapter 428 How To
This dragon-head crutch looks ancient, years of caressing has already made this crutch completely watery and oily.It seemed to be made of the best red sandalwood, and the carved dragon head looked exquisite and exquisite. Xiu'er felt that she had been imprisoned here for many years without much knowledge.But in the end, a pair of eyes was born, which can detect good and bad.

In short, I have seen a lot of crutches used by the old people in Gusu City, but none can compare to this one.I don't know if it's because the materials used are too good, or the craftsmanship of the carving is too outstanding, or both, but I always feel that it is not ordinary at first glance.

Apart from the cane itself, what made her more concerned was the expression on Mrs. Yang's every time she leaned on the cane, solemn and serious, with a different kind of madness in her eyes.No, it's not crazy, Xiu'er thought seriously, and didn't know how to describe that look, just like the most pious congregants who have joined the sect, with piety, respect and many other emotions mixed in their eyes.

Anyway, kind of weird.What made her feel even weirder was what Dali once said when she confronted Mrs. Yang.

At that time, Dali taunted Mrs. Yang with the things bestowed by the former emperor on the affairs of this dynasty. Could it be this crutch that was bestowed by the former emperor?
Xiu'er pursed her lips, she couldn't understand these things, but now the inner house of the Yang family in Gusu is under the control of Mrs. Yang, it is not as bad as it was before, so it doesn't receive any rumors from outside.

She had heard a lot about Miss Jiang Si. She heard that Miss Jiang Si was very powerful and could repair jade and ancient objects. She thought she knew about these things.No matter how bad it is, there is the Second Miss Fang who runs a pawn shop. They should be able to see the source of this thing!
But... This old lady with a crutch will never take her eyes off her when she is sleeping, so how can Miss Jiang Si see this crutch without disturbing Old Madam Yang?

Xiu'er was a little embarrassed: This is a very difficult thing, she can't do it.

She can't force what she can't do, and if something happens, she can't afford the consequences.That being the case, let Miss Jiang Si do these things, and let Miss Jiang Si make up her mind.

……

Xiu'er's message was not delivered directly to Jiang Shaoyan, but passed to Ji Chongyan through the handmaids hand-picked by Mrs. Yang who knew how to do legwork, and then to Jiang Shaoyan.

Crutches?Glancing at the note in his hand, Ji Chongyan handed it to Lu: "Go to Baoling and hand it to Miss Jiang Si."

The old Lu followed the orders and left.

After Lu finished giving his orders, Ji Chongyan led the people out of the city.

Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month. Originally, my grandfather was supposed to arrive around the fifth day of the first lunar month, but the snow fell a bit when passing through Luoyang, and the city was delayed for a few days due to heavy snow, so it was only two days late.

"Chongyan, I won't go out of the city to meet the Duke." Lin Yan stood at the gate of Yancheng County Yamen, and said to Ji Chongyan, his eyes flashed, indicating something, "The arranged doctor is here."

Miss Fang San has not appeared in front of people for quite a while, which shows that Miss Fang is a decisive person, and when she discovered Miss Fang's abnormality, she immediately put Miss Fang under house arrest.

So...they are going to help a group of Miss Fang.

Ji Chongyan nodded when he heard the words, and said to Lin Yan indifferently: "You can arrange it."

Lin Yan hummed, then turned and walked towards the Yamen Prison.

Only then did Ji Chongyan get on his horse and head out of the city.

……

Counting the distance, my grandfather could reach Yancheng after noon. Ji Chongyan set off early and arrived outside Yancheng before noon, but not far away...

Shaking his head and rejecting the clairvoyance offered by the people around him, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the end of his line of sight. A group of people had already appeared in his line of sight. Looking at the huge word "An" on the high flag erected behind the carriage, Ji Chongyan endured He couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

Grandfather is not a high-profile person, so he planted that flag on purpose... He got on his horse and walked towards the official path.

"Brother Yan!"

Looking at the people walking towards him from a distance, An Guogong couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the carriage first, and urged the guards driving the carriage: "Hurry up, I see Brother Yan!"

Looking at Brother Yan sitting on the big horse, An Guogong couldn't help expressing emotion, and couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes: He's tired of looking at those incompetent faces in the capital. He said that my brother looks good!

Look at this high-spirited, graceful, and handsome appearance, in the entire Chang'an city, oh no, in the entire Da Zhou, how many children of the aristocratic family can be found who are more beautiful than his brother Yan?

An Guogong was so proud that he waited until the person rode close to him, and before the other person got off the horse, he jumped out of the carriage. This action scared the guards who were driving the carriage. Fortunately, Anguo The male jumped off the carriage and was not injured.

"Brother Yan!" Ignoring the startled guards, An Guogong shouted happily to the young man who got off his horse, stepped forward and looked Ji Chongyan up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I feel refreshed again!"

The spirited Ji Chongyan smiled and stepped forward to support him, calling out "Grandfather!"

It was originally a happy sound, but An Guogong, who was still laughing at the clinker, suddenly snorted because of this sound, and complained to him angrily: "Brother Yan, your uncle bullied our old Ji's family!"

Ji Chongyan knew these things early in the morning, and when he heard the words, he smiled and asked An Guogong: "Then I will go back to Beijing and talk to uncle?"

The grandson continued according to his intention, but the grandfather An Guogong was startled when he heard it, and then shook his head again and again: "Then I don't want it."

After all, before Ji Chongyan could speak, An Guogong glared at him and complained: "Grandfather just talked casually, what are you really doing?"

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!If His Majesty the uncle really loves this nephew so much, how could he do such a thing as letting the youngest grandson of his old Ji family be a companion?

An Guogong grabbed Ji Chongyan with his backhand and grabbed his own hand. A trace of caution and solemnity that was different from usual flashed across his rough-looking face: "You..." An Guogong raised his eyes, his eyes were old but still clear There was a flash of struggle, he stared at Ji Chongyan in front of him, trembling the hand holding Ji Chongyan, and said: "Be obedient!"

obedient?Ji Chongyan raised his eyes and smiled, the red mole at the end of his eyes looked a little coquettish under the sunlight, he smiled at An Guogong, "Chongyan will listen to his grandfather."

An Guogong shook his head, still staring closely at Ji Chongyan in front of him, and said solemnly: "I don't listen to my grandfather, but to listen to Your Majesty."

The smile on Ji Chongyan's face didn't change when he heard the words, and the expression in his eyes under the sunlight was a bit unreal. He responded with a smile: "Your Majesty's sacred order must naturally not be violated."

An Guogong let go of Ji Chongyan's hand: This... Brother Yan must have agreed!

Not allowing him to think too much, he heard Ji Chongyan's voice ringing again.

"Grandpa, let's go into town!"

Yes, go to the city, go to the city to see Brother Yan.An Guogong, who was interrupted by Ji Chongyan, smiled and patted Ji Chongyan's hand, feeling suddenly better.

After seeing the old faces of those old guys in Chang'an City too much, why not come to Jiangnan Road for a walk and relax.

Yancheng is just a small city, especially compared to Chang'an City where the emperor came from all directions.However, Chang'an City has seen a lot of bustle and bustling, and it is also good to visit a small city like Yancheng once in a while.

In order to walk side by side with his most beloved eldest grandson, An Guogong did not hesitate to pick one of the guards who were sitting in front of the tall horse and kicked off the horse and stuffed it back into the carriage, then got on the horse himself and walked with Ji Chongyan while strolling Look.

Wandering along the streets of Yancheng leisurely all the way, from time to time, the people who pass by will look up here curiously.Facing the curious eyes of the common people, An Guogong looked back without hesitation.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed!The people were startled, and hurriedly hid aside, An Guogong laughed, and continued to look at Yancheng with undisguised curiosity.

It is a typical small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there is no rain or snow today, and the ground is dry, there is an inexplicable dampness blowing towards you.

From time to time, one or two words of Wu Nong's soft words that he didn't quite understand came to his ears, and An Guogong listened with great interest: It's not that he understands, and it's not that he has never heard people from Jiangnan Road fuck in Chang'an City. A dialect is spoken in Jiangnan Road.But...how should I put it?Listening to Wu Nong's soft language in Jiangnan Road is different from listening to Wu Nong's soft language in Chang'an City.

Ji Chongyan looked back at the huge "An" character stuck in the back of the carriage, paused for a moment, and said to An Guogong who was looking at Yancheng with great interest: "Grandfather, I have never seen this flag before. .”

Whether it is the crimson flag or the neatly embroidered "An" character on the flag, it has a sense of washing over time, as if... the old thing that my grandfather dug out from the corner of the warehouse at home.

Regarding this, Duke An did not hide anything, and responded straightforwardly: "The banners and banners that followed me on the expedition back then, I brought not many people with me to Jiangnan Road this time. As the monk said, he was caught by bandits on his way to Jiangnan Road to be a cook. Your grandfather and I can’t be cooks. I’m about to be caught by bandits. So I made a name early in the morning, so as not to cause trouble!"

Looking at the old but still energetic Duke Anguo, Ji Chongyan chuckled, and said, "The wandering monk that my grandfather is talking about is Zen Master Huijue? Don't worry, my grandfather. How can ordinary bandits be my grandfather's opponent?"

He knew his grandfather's skills best, and all the guards kept by his side were masters with one enemy against many.If there really was a bandit with no winks who dared to make a move, it would definitely not be the grandfather who suffered the loss.

"Nonsense!" Duke An rolled his eyes, but refused to admit it, "Your grandfather always convinced people with virtue."

Well, convincing people with virtue.Ji Chongyan thought of the news from the capital, the scene where his grandfather taught others because of the smallpox incident, so he responded with a smile.

Just like this all the way to the Yancheng yamen with virtue, when a few doctors came out of the yamen with a medical box on their backs, at first sight of their group, the doctors were taken aback, but immediately stepped forward to salute : "I have seen the world."

What kind of dignitaries came to a place as big as a palm in Yancheng has always been able to quickly spread throughout the city.As doctors, they had been passed on several times before, so they naturally recognized this son of An Guogong who was so good-looking that he could remember it at a glance.

As for the old man next to him, watching the prince carefully help the old man out of the carriage with a respectful face, they couldn't help wondering: Who can make this prince of An Guogong who is difficult to get along with look so respectful?

It's a pity that Ji Chongyan did not disclose the identity of Duke An, but nodded lightly, and glanced at one of the doctors in a khaki cloth robe. Seeing the doctor looking at him, he said "Yes" and helped Anguo The public entered the Yamen.

After the doctors left, An Guogong stopped, frowned, and asked Ji Chongyan, "Why are there so many doctors just now? But that child from the Lin family..."

"Lin Yan is fine, he is busy." Ji Chongyan smiled at An Guogong and said, "He will come to see grandfather in a while."

As for the doctor... Ji Chongyan did not hide the truth from An Guogong: "A prisoner in the prison developed a high fever after being whipped, and his condition is not very good."

That's it...Knowing that it's not Lin Yan's business, An Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax immediately. He just glanced at Ji Chongyan and said, "You don't like to use torture indiscriminately when you work with that child of the Lin family. Think about it, some important prisoner will do it." Be punished!"

"It was the murderer who killed Chen Wanyan and surrendered himself." Ji Chongyan explained, and before An Guogong continued to speak, he was fair to Anguo, "Grandpa, let's go in!"

The murderer who killed Chen Wanyan developed a high fever after being whipped and was not in good condition.

All the doctors who were invited here today know about this matter. Although the doctors don't have the habit of revealing information indiscriminately, they still want to talk about it if they are asked by regular customers.

Especially this regular customer in front of me: Fang Zhixiu, the third miss.

There are only a few famous doctors in Yancheng, which is as big as a palm, and if the rich and powerful of Yancheng have a headache, they will probably invite these few doctors to come.

Fang Zhixiu looked at the doctor in the khaki cloth robe in front of her, took a deep breath, and couldn't help asking again: "Doctor Liu, is what you said true?"

Dr. Liu, who was writing the prescription, said "Mmm" without raising his head, and said: "People who have been whipped and rod-punched mostly have a fever because of their wounds, and some fevers subside after a few days after the wounds heal. "

Miss Fang San in front of her was a lot thinner than when she first came to Yancheng to annex the bank, her beautiful phoenix eyes were sunken due to being too thin, and she looked very haggard.

However, this Third Miss Fang is not physically ill, but mentally ill.Heart disease is difficult to cure!Although it looks better in recent days, it is not very good.

Dr. Liu, who was writing the prescription, was suddenly grabbed by someone's hand after speaking. He was startled, and the prescription in his hand was scratched.

Seeing Miss Fang San holding him tightly, Dr. Liu struggled a bit, but he didn't break free. Instead, Fang Zhixiu grabbed him even tighter.

"What did you say?" The girl looked over with sunken phoenix eyes, her eyes were empty, her expression haggard and anxious, "how is he?"
