Tie Kui Extra Story (Ninety-Four)

Zeng Chenfu was very happy to see Ning Zhan. He ordered the kitchen to make a table of his favorite dishes.

While eating, Ning Zhan looked at Tie Hu with a smile and said, "Grandfather, I haven't seen you for a month, and your complexion has improved a lot."

Touching his face, Tie Hu said cheerfully: "Is it because you have gained a lot of weight? During this time, your mother led the three of us to eat a lot of delicious food, and it always made me full." The capital gathered The snacks from all over the country, Tiehu not only satisfied his taste, but also opened his eyes.

Ning Zhan said with a smile, "Grandfather, it's as long as you like it."

Chunni helped Tiehu to sleep and went back to the house. While soaking her feet, she said to Duan Dongzi: "I knew I would have brought Xiaobao here, so that this child can see the world." Hongbo's eldest son and second son both went to school, and only the youngest son was only four years old. . But because they planned to go back at the beginning, they were afraid that the child would be frozen on the way, so they didn't take it with them.

Duan Dongzi said with a smile: "The child is still young, there will be plenty of opportunities to come to the capital in the future."

The husband and wife talked for a while, and Chunni suddenly said: "I don't know how Honglang and the others are doing? Have you bought anything for the New Year?" Even if Duan Honglang doesn't live up to it, it is the flesh that fell from her body. Every time I think of him farming and suffering hardships in the countryside, I feel uncomfortable.

I didn’t feel it when I was farming in the countryside before, but after I came out, I realized that farming is too bitter.

Duan Dongzi held his breath and said: "Youtian Youdi still froze to death and starved to death, he is also useless and incompetent. Also, don't mention him in front of dad. Dad is so happy, don't make him angry." Don't talk about Tiehu, just He became irritable when he heard Duan Honglang.

As parents, we all want our children to live well. But Duan Honglang is really an unfilial son. So even in his hometown, he didn't want to see Duan Honglang.

Just as Chunni worried, Duan Honglang and Webster didn't buy new year's goods. The couple thought that Chunni would come back, so they wanted to get some money from her to live a healthy life. In the end, it was not until the middle of the twelfth lunar month that Chunni and the others found out that they would not return to the county during the Chinese New Year in the capital.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Duan Honglang's family didn't even buy any meat. At this time, the price of meat is much higher than before.

Of course, there is money to buy two catties of meat. But the money to buy new year goods is gone.

The couple didn't want to eat yams and coarse grains on New Year's Eve, so they sent their eldest son, Awang, to Hongbo to borrow money.

It has to be said that the husband and wife calculated very well. If the two of them borrowed money, Hongbo would not give them a dime. But looking at his nephew in thin clothes and his face livid with cold, he still softened his heart.

Hongbo looked at Awang and asked, "You will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year.

What are your plans for the future? You can't stay in the countryside farming all your life, can you? "Farming in the countryside can only solve food and clothing through exhaustion all year round.

Awang lowered his head, and after a while, he plucked up his courage and said, "Uncle, I want to come to work in the county. But, I'm afraid there is no shop willing to take me." Before Duan Honglang lost all his family property, Awang had been studying in school and had no food. Live a little bit. But when he arrived in the countryside, Duan Honglang didn't do any work on the grounds that he injured his arm. The heavy work in the field was shared between the two brothers. In the past two years, Awang has suffered a lot.

After pondering for a moment, Hongbo said: "I can arrange an errand for you, but the salary will be very low when you first enter."

Awang hurriedly said: "Uncle, as long as you can learn the skills, you don't need to be paid."

Hearing this, Hong Bo was very relieved: "You can't tell your parents about this, and then say that you found it yourself."

"Uncle, I know." At first, Duan Honglang and Wei Shi cursed Tiehu and Hongbo every day, and Awang also felt that they were hard-hearted. But when he became more sensible, he realized that it was his parents who had the problem, not Tiehu, Hongbo and others.

Instead of giving money to Awang, Hongbo brought him ten catties of meat, twenty catties of white noodles, bacon sausages, and some candied fruit and other new year necessities for him from home.

Hongbo has also learned to be smart now, and he can see a lot of things in the neighborhood. Even if Duan Honglang said that his big brother didn't care, no one would believe him. As for borrowing money, you can neither get it back nor be seen by others.

Seeing so many things, Awang blushed and said, "Auntie, there are too many, so you don't need to give so much."

Mrs. Fu said affectionately: "It's Chinese New Year, I'd like to eat a few more meals." Duan Honglang and Wei Shi deserve it, but the children are innocent.

He found some old cotton-padded jackets for Awang, and said, "Take these clothes home! It's such a cold day, don't freeze."

Awang's eyes were a little red, and he lowered his head to force back the tears in his eyes: "Thank you, auntie." The sudden changes in the family made the child mature early.

Hongbo told Mrs. Fu that he wanted to find an errand for Awang, "Pay attention and see which shop recruits people. It doesn't matter if the wages are lower, but you must learn something." to their shop. Otherwise, Duan Honglang and his wife will use this as an excuse to ask them for money in the future.

Fu said: "I will pay attention."

In fact, Mrs. Fu didn't ask him for anything in return. He was just happy to help him when he saw the child was grateful. White-eyed wolves like Duan Honglang and Wei Shi didn't even want to take a second look.

Hong Bo clicked and said: "This can be regarded as good bamboo shoots!" I hope that other nephews can be as sensible as him.

After the new year, Ning Zhan went to find Qiyou. There was no way, Qiyou was so busy years ago that he couldn't find anyone at all. You can't go to the Yamen to find Qiyou and delay his business.

Qiyou asked in surprise: "You said Tie Fangjia is still alive? This guy is still alive?" After more than six years, he also thought that Tie Fangjia was dead.

Ning Zhan nodded and said, "After he escaped, he was captured by a rancher. He has been grazing on the grassland for these years." He thought that Fang Jia would join the bandits, but he didn't expect that this guy would be caught as a coolie.

Qiyou laughed straight, and said while laughing: "You became a slave? It seems that God still has eyes." From the son of a high-ranking official to being a slave, the gap is not ordinary.

Ning Zhan said, "Your Highness, I don't want him to come back."

Stop laughing, Qiyou said: "This is not easy to handle. Fang Hui will definitely tell uncle about it, and you will kill him. Uncle knows he won't say anything, but if Fang Hui knows he is very Most likely, he will avenge Fang Jia. When the time comes when your brothers kill each other, uncle will be the saddest." If six years ago, he would have agreed with Ning Zhan to kill Tie Fangjia without hesitation. But as I got older, I became more thoughtful about things.

Ning Zhan hummed and said, "So, I want father and elder brother to think that Tie Fangjia died accidentally."

This is easier said than done.

"Your Highness, do you think Sister Yu has any colorless and odorless poison? By the way, it must be impossible for people to find out that she died of poisoning?" He also thought for a long time before he came up with this method.

Qiyou smiled lightly and said, "I don't know about that. But even if there is, Ruonan sister won't give it to you." Yu Ruonan is very good at making poisons, but the poisons she makes are only provided to the hidden guards and will not be sold. What she occasionally sells are medicines for bruises or diseases.

Ning Zhan said, "Isn't it okay to pay a high price?"

"No matter how much money you pay, she won't sell it." If a high price can impress Ruo Nan, his mother has to worry. After all, if a master drug maker loses the bottom line principle, it will cause dire consequences.

Ning Zhan was a little disappointed.

Qiyou asked: "Actually, poisoning is the most stupid way to kill a person."

"Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"

Qiyou glanced at Ning Zhan, and said with a smile: "The companion always solves the master's worries and problems. You are good, and always let me solve all kinds of troublesome things for you."

Ning Zhan was also a little embarrassed, but he couldn't trust anyone except Qiyou.

Qiyou said: "Do you know his weakness, you can use his weakness to attack."

Ning Zhan thought for a long time and said, "I knew he had a bad temper and couldn't hold his breath." Others, I really don't know.

Qiyou didn't come up with an idea, and said to death: "Then you should think of a good way! By the way, if you can't do it seamlessly, just wait for Fang Hui to rescue him. Then you can sue him to the government. He is If the imperial court wants to commit a crime, the crime of escaping privately will be added. Even if he does not die, I will send him to mine iron mines."

Ning Zhan was a little disappointed.

Qiyou glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I'm an official of the Ministry of Punishment now, and I can't enforce the law. If I give you an idea and let my mother know, I will have to go around. Also, let's forget it this time, in the future If there is another similar matter, solve it in private and don't tell me. Otherwise, be careful and I will catch you. "

Knowing that Qiyou was joking, Ning Zhan still said, "I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Qiyou smiled: "I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't indulge you."

When Zeng Chenfu saw Ning Zhan coming back from Prince You's Mansion, she was very preoccupied.

After hesitating for a long time, Zeng Chenfu asked: "Your Majesty, did something go wrong with the transfer back to the Imperial Forest Army? It doesn't matter if you can't transfer back this time, just find another chance."

Ning Zhan laughed and said, "Since the empress has agreed, this matter is a certainty. It's something outside, and it's not easy to solve troubles."

Zeng Chenfu wanted to ask what was the matter, but she finally swallowed the words: "I can always find a way to solve it."

Ning Zhan hummed and said, "You're right, it has to be resolved." The biggest trouble with this matter is that Ning Hai cannot let Ning Hai know, so he cannot use the people in Uncle Anyang's mansion.

It was also at this time that Ning Zhan realized that he didn't have his own manpower, so he was tied up in doing things.

Don't blame the Queen Empress for asking the Prince to train her own manpower, and now Ning Zhan understands the deep meaning.

Seeing Ning Zhan's tangled appearance, Shuangshou finally gave a suggestion: "My lord, I know a man. As long as the money is high, he can handle things properly."

"Killer?"

Shuangshou hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, this person used to be a bodyguard. Later, when he couldn't make it through, he took on some private jobs. But if you don't accept the work that hurts nature, you can't implicate innocent people. Also, this person has a tight mouth. , will not betray the employer."

Ning Zhan can trust Shuangshou, if he is not sure, he will not recommend this person to him: "Then you get in touch with this person and see if it is as reliable as the rumors say?"

Within a few days, Shuangshou replied: "My lord, he said that this job can be accepted, but it will cost two thousand taels of silver."

Ning Zhan said: "Everyone must think that the death was accidental. Otherwise, don't do anything, just keep an eye on him." He couldn't expose himself, otherwise he would rather hand it over to the government. At least in this way, it is righteous. Even if Tie Fanghui knew, he would have nothing to say.

Shuangshou hesitated for a while and asked, "How about the money?"

Ning Zhan nodded and said, "I'll give you the money. I'll pay for all other expenses to go to Xihai. If he's worried, he can give a deposit of 1,000 taels first."

The other party took the deposit and set off for Xihai.
