Chapter 101 A group of cowards!
This is also the biggest headache for Cao Baotou and the others. The Jianghu people are unscrupulous in doing things, but they are also highly skilled in martial arts. If they conflict with them, there will be casualties.
But they couldn't completely let this matter go. If someone died in the county and the county magistrate was blamed, none of them would be able to escape and they would all bear the responsibility.
"Thank you, brother, your head is spinning so fast. I wonder if there is any good solution?"
Xie Yuan met the expectant eyes of several people. After pondering for a moment, he looked at them and said, "Do you think this will work?"
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this. They gathered in front of him and listened carefully.
After lighting a stick of incense, Xie Yuan left the Yamen. After a while, groups of police officers armed with swords and chains left the Yamen one after another and started patrolling the streets.
In Jinxiufang, Jiang Mingyue sent a guest outside and looked at the policeman running past, thoughtfully. This was the fourth policeman she saw in half an hour.
What was different from the past was that today they all held big swords and looked serious. She knew something must have happened in the county.
Mr. He walked out of Jinxiufang, followed her gaze and said, "I'm afraid something happened in the county. In such a short time, there were fewer people on the street."
Jiang Mingyue took a look around and found that it was indeed the case.
The two returned to Jinxiufang, and Jiang Mingyue told Han Lanlan about the situation outside.
"Shopkeeper, I see that there is some unrest on the streets today. Just in case, should we close the door?"
Hearing this, Han Lanlan walked out from behind the counter.
"Let me see!"
"I'll come with you!" Zhang Shanshan said immediately.
After the two stood outside and observed for a while, they followed Jiang Mingyue's suggestion and closed one door so that if anything happened, they could close the other door as quickly as possible.
Time passed bit by bit, and for more than an hour, no more guests came to the door.
During this period, Jiang Mingyue and the others looked out from time to time. At first, they could still see pedestrians, but now no one else could be seen on the street except the patrolling policemen. Maybe everyone noticed something was wrong, and the surrounding shops were closed one after another. Door.
At noon, Wang Shuan looked at a few people and said, "I'm going out to find out some news."
"Be careful." Shopkeeper Han said.
Wang Shuan nodded and walked out under the watchful eyes of several people. At the same time, several men in linen clothes quickly gathered around a middle-aged man at the pier.
"Brother, people from the government have discovered us. Now the streets are full of police officers patrolling. I'm a little panicked! Otherwise, let's run away!"
"According to the information we have found out, Mao Zijun should not be in Wanping. Brother, how about we look elsewhere?"
…………
The middle-aged man waited for them to finish speaking and cursed: "Look at how cowardly you are. It's really embarrassing. You're just a few policemen. What's so scary? If we really want to argue, can't you beat them?"
"It's not because I can't beat them. I'm just scared when I see those policemen!"
"Try not to argue with them. Think about your wife and children at home."
When several people gathered together to talk, Detective Zhao came over and looked at them and yelled: "What are you doing sneakily together?"
"We didn't do anything. We were discussing the transportation of goods. Let's break up now." The middle-aged man, who had been tough just now, immediately changed his attitude when he saw Agent Zhao, becoming flattering and humble.
After Agent Zhao left, he turned to look at his brothers. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, he coughed and said:
"Find some work first, and we'll leave when everyone is here in the evening."
He's also a bit weak.
Several people laughed instantly after hearing this.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mingyue and Han Lanlan saw Wang Shuan coming back and stepped forward to surround him.
"Did you get any information?"
Wang Shuan shook his head.
Several people were immediately disappointed.
"But when I came back, I met Detective Wang. He warned me to try not to go out if I had nothing to do in the past two days."
That means something really happened in the county.
Zhang Shanshan and Han Lanlan looked at each other and went to the back hall one after another.
Jiang Mingyue quietly glanced at the two of them and looked away.
After a while, the two came out of the back hall. Han Lanlan looked at them and said: "The weather has been hot recently, there are many guests, and everyone has worked hard. In the next two days, everyone will stay at home and have a good rest. We will be here on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." work."
The He family were overjoyed when they heard this. Jiang Mingyue glanced at Zhang Shanshan. It must have been her idea to give them a holiday. The Zhang family was really good.
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
The three of them said in unison.
"You're welcome, let's discuss going home now."
Jiang Mingyue was the first to raise her hand and said: "My maid will come to bring me food in a while. I will go back with her."
Shopkeeper Han nodded.
"Shanshan and I will go back together."
She looked at Wang Shuan and the two of them and said, "You are so close, please look out for each other on the way."
"Sure!" He said quickly.
After the five people were assigned, Wang Shuan and He left the shop first. After Jiang Mingyue waited for Shiliu to arrive, she spoke to Han Lanlan and left Jinxiufang with the water bag.
"Girl, did something happen in the county? I met few passers-by along the way."
Jiang Mingyue shook her head.
"I don't know either, but if you have nothing to do in the next two days, don't go out."
"Yes!"
The two of them walked very fast, and it wasn't until they returned home that Jiang Mingyue relaxed.
She immediately called Su Niang and Yu Xing into the main hall. After giving them some instructions, she thought of her younger brother and Xie Yuan who were in the private school. She went back to the house and found the whip from the bottom of the box, tied it around her waist, and went out again. door.
Zaolin Hutong is very close to Yu's private school, and there are several police officers patrolling here. Compared with before, Jiang Mingyue was much more relaxed. She arrived at the private school without incident, and she quickly arrived at Jia because she was familiar with the family and the road. class, my brother was eating at that time.
Jiang Minghong suddenly heard his sister's voice and thought he was hearing hallucinations. It wasn't until his sister called again that he raised his head and looked at the people standing outside. He put down his chopsticks and hurried out.
Shen Yu thought of the relationship between his sister and Xie Yuan and couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Mingyue.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Seeing that his sister was sweating profusely, Jiang Minghong took out the handkerchief and handed it to her and asked, "But what happened?"
Jiang Mingyue immediately told her brother about the situation on the street.
"After school, you and Yu Gen don't linger on the street and go home immediately. Pay attention to safety on the road."
How could a fine street suddenly be under martial law? I don’t know what happened in the county.
"Okay, I understand, sister came alone?"
Jiang Minghong then said: "I'll ask Yu Gen to take you back."
"No rush, I still want to see Brother Xie."
Jiang Minghong heard this and said, "I'll take you there!"
I asked Xie Yuan by the way to see if I could get any useful information from him. I just didn't know if he was still in the private school.
"it is good!"
They were lucky. Jiang Minghong brought his sister to the wing where Xie Yuan usually rested temporarily. He had not left yet.
