Aspirations
Chapter 171
Chapter 171
In Zhending City, there are mostly high-rise buildings along the banks of the river. The farther away from the river, the more bungalows.Most of the people still live in bungalows, with more than a dozen houses and a yard, they are considered wealthy.
Taiping Hutong is a very inconspicuous small alley in Zhending City. Compared with the famous Shijia Hutong and Shanxin Hutong, although Taiping Hutong has an auspicious name, it is rarely mentioned because Taiping Hutong is so small, only ten There are three families a few feet long, and it is still a dead end.
Now that the three families have moved away, Taiping Hutong has become a veritable dead end.The unused yards of three families have been in disrepair for a long time, and not to mention weeds, there are also many wild birds and animals.
The innermost family was originally a big family named Yi Taiping.Later, due to borrowing from the government to grow grain, when the harvest failed in the coming year, the interest of up to [-]% made the rich family impoverished overnight.Later, after selling the family property, the loan was paid off.There are dozens of people in the whole family, selling, running, and scattered. Only three or five people are left, and they have become refugees outside the city.
Yi Taiping originally thought that this year's cold winter would come, and he would either starve to death or freeze to death outside the city.I don't want Xia Xianzun to be sympathetic to the refugees and let Lian Niangzi build houses for the refugees.Yi Taiping couldn't believe his ears, there is such a good official in the world who loves the people like a son?Is there such a businessman in the world who saves people from fire and water?After seeing Lian Ruohan lead the craftsmen to measure and start construction, he really believed that this winter could be passed safely.
Thankfully, Yi Taiping recited "Amitabha Buddha" dozens of times in a row, and determined that Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan were the Bodhisattvas who saved all living beings and saved the common people.He can't wait for the house to be built. He is a mason who can mount walls and mix mud. He wants to contribute to the construction of Xiajiazhuang!
Although Yi Taiping's house was sold to someone else, his tools still belonged to him.When selling the house, he also repeatedly confessed that he hoped that the new owner would treat his tools well and not throw them away.The new homeowner obliged and stored his tools in the kitchen.
After the new owner bought the house, he did not move in, and the house remained vacant.Yi Taiping returned to the city, walked along the familiar streets and returned to Taiping Hutong, recalling the prosperous days and the lively scene of a big family, his nose was sore, and he burst into tears.
Things changed and people changed, and the three families in Taiping Hutong became empty houses.He touched the mottled gate of his house with mixed feelings in his heart.With a light push, the door opened silently, and was about to step in when it suddenly froze.
No, what's wrong?Yi Taiping's right foot was hanging in the air, but it didn't come down, a small path was trampled in the middle of the weeds in the yard.Someone had obviously been there.
No, not only was someone there, someone was there.
Yi Taiping's eyes fell on his feet, and he was even more shocked, the blood stains under his feet were clearly visible.
Killed?Yi Taiping's first thought was to run away quickly, saving his life is the most important thing.Before he could turn around, he heard voices coming from the room.
"Say, why did you kill Xia Xiang?"
It was a man's voice, low and calm.
"Who are you? Why are you saving me?"
It was a woman's voice, low and indifferent.
Kill Xia Xiang?Yi Taiping was shocked, who wants to kill Xia Xianzun, whom Wanmin loves?No, he can't leave, he must listen clearly, and the bad guys can't really kill Xia Xianzun.Xia Xianzun is the Qingtian of the Zhending people, and the parent official of the refugees.Gritting his teeth, he boldly walked a few steps forward. The yard was not big, and within a few steps he came under the east window. He bent down and listened carefully with his breath held.
"My next Yanhao is the personal soldier of His Royal Highness Xingwang." In the room, Yanhao and Fang Shiniang sat facing each other.His eyes kept moving back and forth on Fang Shiniang's body and face. His graceful figure, stunning appearance, and exotic charm all made him amazed and tempted.Fang Shiniang's clothes were torn in several places, revealing a shockingly white body.
Fang Shiniang was hit by Mantuo's sword, and the wound hurt her heart. She endured the pain and giggled: "It turned out to be Yan Hao, one of the top ten masters of the Great Xia. Disrespect, disrespect. Fang Shiniang thanked the strong man Yan The grace of saving life will definitely be rewarded generously in the future. Alright, strong man Yan invites you."
Yan Hao was shocked: "Are you Fang Shiniang, the chasing soul sound?"
"What's the matter, it doesn't look like it?" Fang Shiniang smiled again, "Okay, strong man Yan, the little girl is tired..."
Yan Hao turned a deaf ear to Fang Shiniang's order to chase away guests, and asked again: "Fang Shiniang, who entrusted you to kill Xia Xiang?"
Fang Shiniang smiled coldly: "Who did I entrust and why did I kill Xia Xiang? It's none of your business? Don't think that if you save my life, I will repay you. Don't even think about it! And Yan Hao, don't even think about killing Xia Xiang." My idea is that my Fang Shiniang is the bright moon in the sky, and none of the stinky men in the world can match me."
Yan Hao was not angry, but smiled easily: "Fang Shiniang, I saved you unintentionally, and it was not for your reward. Xia Xiang and Man Tuo and I are at odds with each other. Anyone who wants to kill them The people here are all fellow travelers..."
"I'm not your fellow traveler..." Fang Shiniang interrupted Yan Hao, and smiled charmingly, "Taiwei Yan, you kill Xia Xiang, you will die. I will kill Xia Xiang for fun. You and I We are passers-by, we meet by chance, from now on the mountain is high and the road is far away, so we don’t need to meet each other.”
Seeing that Fang Shiniang was so seriously injured and yet so aggressive, Yan Hao couldn't help feeling angry: "Fang Shiniang, whether it was intentional or unintentional, I will save your life anyway, it's fine if you don't know how to repay your kindness, and you are still so arrogant, since you Said that the two of us are not fellow travelers, believe it or not, I will kill you with one knife?"
Yanhao Lu met Fang Shiniang and was trapped. He was the one who learned that Liu Changting had kidnapped Lian Ruohan, and Xia Xiang led people to rescue him. He thought it was a rare opportunity, so he put down his affairs and followed.Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to attack, and it would be great to assassinate Xia Xiang, but I didn't want to accidentally meet Fang Shiniang and be nailed to the tree by Man Tuo's sword.Seeing that Fang Shiniang was amazing in martial arts, it would be a pity to die, so he rescued her.
Not wanting Fang Shiniang to be so unreasonable, he couldn't help being angry, and suddenly an evil thought flashed across him, why not take Fang Shiniang down, once she became his woman, he would not worry about her not listening to him.With Fang Shiniang as a helper, even if Mantuo has Xiao Wu's help, he is still no match for him and Fang Shiniang.
With his mind set, Yan Hao was not angry anymore.
Fang Shiniang covered her mouth and smiled, showing her coquettishness: "I am seriously injured now, and I have no strength to fight back. If you want to kill or cut, I can only be at your mercy. But you are also one of the top ten masters of Daxia. If you do so Xiao Xiao's matter has been spread, and it has dishonored the famous name for nothing."
Yan Hao laughed: "Ms. Fang is right. I just tried it out and said it casually. You rest here for a while. This place has been empty for a long time. No one will come. I will find some clothes and food."
Although Fang Shiniang was stubborn, she was seriously injured and unable to move, so she could only say: "In this way, there will be Captain Lao Yan, and the little girl will be rewarded in the future."
"Don't worry about it, it's a trivial matter." Yan Hao said politely, but he thought in his heart, hey, when you have a big reward, wait.
After going out, Yan Hao walked through the weeds, and when he reached the gate, he suddenly froze, the gate was covered by a crack, it seemed that someone had been there, could it be that he was discovered?He suddenly turned his head, and his eyes fell on the east window, which was empty, except for weeds, there were fallen leaves.
Yan Hao heaved a sigh of relief and went out.
Just as Yan Hao left, a human head slowly emerged from the weeds under the east window, it was Yi Taiping.Yi Taiping was sweating profusely, his face was pale, he was so dangerous, he was almost discovered, but fortunately he was in his own home, he was very familiar with every plant and tree.
After waiting for a while, when he heard that there was no movement in the room, Yi Taiping quietly got up and looked in the window, seeing Fang Shiniang lying on his side on the bed, already asleep, he quietly left the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and ran away in a hurry Exit Taiping Hutong.
what to do?Someone wants to kill Xianzun Xia and hides in Taiping Hutong, who is he going to inform?Thinking while walking, after crossing the Zilong Bridge, I came to the gate of the county government office as soon as I looked up.
Just in time to see Qi He coming out of the county office, Yi Taiping hastily stepped forward and said: "Officer Qi, the villain is Yi Taiping..."
Qi He is now assigned by Xia Xiang, together with Lu Dongliang and Zhang Xuehua to be in charge of dredging and Xiajiazhuang matters, knowing Yi Taiping, he chuckled: "Old man Yi, what's your business?"
"My lord, I have something important to report to County Lord Xia."
"Xia Xianzun is not in the county government, so it's the same if you tell the police if you have anything to do."
"That's right, Lord Qi is now a popular person in front of Xia Xianzun." Yi Taiping leaned in front of Qi He and whispered, "There are two villains who want to murder Xia Xianzun hiding in my old house... "
"Ah?" Qi He was shocked, and grabbed Yi Taiping's collar, "Who are they?"
"One is called Fang Shiniang, and the other is called Yan Hao." Yi Taiping is usually terrified of officials when he sees them. If he was caught by the collar before, he would be so frightened that he would be speechless if he was not frightened. Without fear, he said calmly, "Fang Shiniang is injured, Yan Hao is now going out to prepare clothes and meals for her."
"Okay, that's great, Yi Taiping, this matter should be remembered as one of your great achievements." Qi He turned around and went back to the county office, "Come with me, and quickly report this matter to Ma County Captain and Ding Butou."
Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke were waiting for Xia Xiang's return at the county government office. After they returned from Yuanjia Village, they did not dare to go far without Xia Xianzun's order, so they had to wait patiently.After waiting for a long time, there was no figure of Xia Xianzun, so I couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Mantuo and Mrs. Xiao Jia came back, and they were relieved when they learned that although Mrs. Xia had not found Mrs. Lian's whereabouts, she was safe and sound.Man Tuo regained some strength, and refused to go back to the Guanxin Pavilion to rest. The two were talking with Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke, and Qihe brought people in.
"What, Fang Shiniang is hiding in Taiping Hutong?" Hearing Qi He's words, Ma Zhanguo was overjoyed, and immediately jumped up, "Come here, put on the shackles, and arrest the criminal with me."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Jia thought about it calmly, "Although Fang Shiniang is injured, she is an expert after all. With only a few government servants, I am afraid she is not her opponent, not to mention that Yan Hao may come back at any time."
Ma Zhanguo thought about it, and frowned slightly: "According to Mrs. Xiao's opinion, what should I do?"
Xiao Jia smiled lightly: "Lieutenant Ma Xian is a smart man, he must know how to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Ma Zhanguo knew everything, secretly admired Xiao Jia for being smart and measured, and nodded gratefully at Xiao Jia: "Ding Tutou, go to the Zilong Bridge and wait for Yan Hao at the place where Yan Hao must pass. When passing by, be sure to stop him. No matter what method you use, you must delay the time."
"Yes." Ding Ke took the order and left.
Man Tuo insisted on being together, but Xiao Jia couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to obey her.Under the leadership of Yi Taiping, Ma Zhanguo, Man Tuo, Xiao Jia, and Qi He led three or five yamen servants to Taiping Hutong.
When he reached the door, Yi Taiping wanted to push the door in, but was stopped by Man Tuo.Man Tuo whispered, "Even though Fang Shiniang is injured, she can still hurt others. It's best to outsmart her."
Xiao Jia's eyes lit up: "In Yuanjia Village, she was rescued by Yan Hao with a big net, why don't we use the net..."
Ma Zhanguo looked helpless: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring a net."
"There are nets at home." Yi Taiping showed joy, "In the past, villains would go down to the river to fish from time to time, and the fishing nets were placed in the west wing."
"Qi He, you follow Yi Taiping to get the net." Ma Zhanguo looked at Man Tuo and Xiao Jia.
Man Tuo glanced at the terrain: "After fetching the net, the two of you will spread the net on the window at the back of the house, and in addition, send a few government servants to collect the net."
Not long after, Yi Taiping and Qi He got the fishing nets, they quietly came to the back of the room, and spread the nets over the windows.Ma Zhanguo asked three yamen servants to be his assistants.After everything was arranged properly, Mantuo whispered a few words to Ma Zhanguo and Xiao Jia, and then jumped onto the roof.
"Fang Shiniang, come and fight me for another hundred rounds." The Mantuo man shouted into the room from above the roof, "Don't think that you can rest easy if you hide here, if you don't come out, I will set fire to you room."
Man Tuo knew that Fang Shiniang would have noticed it if it was normal. Today, everything is arranged properly, and there is still no sound in the room, which shows that Fang Shiniang is seriously injured.But what surprised her was that after she finished shouting, there was no sound in the room.
Could it be that Fang Shiniang had already run away after hearing the news?Man Tuo was puzzled, and shouted again: "Fang Shiniang, if you don't come out, don't blame me for setting the fire."
Still nothing happened.
Man Tuo waved his long sword and said to Ma Zhanguo, "Set fire."
As soon as the words were finished, the two yamen servants bent their bows and shot arrows. Two rockets shot through the window into the room. After a while, thick smoke rose from the room.
Suddenly there was a "crash", and two figures rushed out from the east window. Seeing this, Man Tuo raised his hand and shot a throwing knife, but was shot down by the other party.The other party bent over and ran towards the back of the room.
"Cast the net!" Man Tuo yelled, jumped down from the room, stabbed three times with the long sword in his hand, straight to the opponent's back heart.
At this time, Man Tuo saw the two of them clearly, one was holding a knife in his left hand, and the other was holding the other under his armpit with his right hand.The person embraced by him was wrapped in the blanket, limp and weak, obviously unconscious.
Although Mantuo's skill is only [-]-[-]% of his normal skill, the power of a sword cannot be underestimated.The other party hugged someone, it was inconvenient after all, turned around and blocked Mantuo's sword, not wanting to fight, and fled away.
