Chapter 428 Vicious (3)

The government is really willing to work hard to do one thing, and the efficiency is still very high. No, two days later, the streets and alleys were covered with Yan Xi's portraits. The government's portraits are not very accurate, and it's pretty good to have four or five points, but this portrait is five points like Yan Xi himself.

At night, Yan Xi followed Yang Duoming, looked at the portrait on the wall by the moonlight, and said with a smile, "Brother, does this portrait look like me?" This is why he will be wanted.

Yang Duoming looked at the portrait and said, "Go back." With this portrait, if Yan Xi showed his face in front of people, he would definitely be arrested soon.

Back at the place where he lived, Yang Duoming said: "Recently, you stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll take care of the outside affairs."

Yan Xi said: "Brother, let's leave Luoyang City and go back to the northwest." As long as we go back to the northwest, we are afraid of the prefect of Luoyang.

Yang Duoming said: "The investigation is very strict now, and it would be dangerous to go back to the northwest. Besides, I have to confirm Jiang Hongjin's injury."

Yan Xi said, "Brother, you must pay attention to your safety." These government scumbags, ordinary people were robbed and killed, and the case could not be solved for a year or so. This Jiang Hongjin was attacked, and the whole city was put under martial law.

Yang Duoming went to the teahouse to drink tea by himself. Not long after sitting, he heard the person on the table next to him whispering about Jiang Hongjin's attack.

A man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes as thin as a bamboo pole said in a low voice: "Do you know? I heard that Jiang Zhizhou was scratched by a bandit on the face. The blood flowed from the forehead to the neck from the wound, which is scary. Terrific."

Yang Duoming, who was sitting next to him, could hear these words clearly.

The man with the bamboo pole man has a mole on the lower corner of his mouth. The man with the black mole was taken aback, and said, "Who did Jiang Zhizhou offend? He was disfigured?"

The bamboo pole man said: "Who says it's not! It's disfigured, and I can no longer be an official. I heard that Jiang Zhizhou is the youngest son of the Minister of the Household Department. I don't know how this matter has been resolved?" , the bamboo pole man's news is still very well-informed.

The man with the mole said, "No wonder? No wonder the whole city of Luoyang is in turmoil. It turns out that this man is the son of the Minister of the Household Department!"

The two whispered for a while. It wasn't until three officials with big knives walked in that the two stopped talking.

Yang Duoming is wearing a light blue gown with a round collar and straight skirt today, and wrapped his hair with a silk square scarf of the same color, looking very refined. Coupled with Yang Duoming's gentle appearance, the official sent by with just a glance. Such a frail scholar was not even listed as a suspect by the officials.

One of the officials walked towards a table sitting in the corner, and that table was full of rough men. The official said in a vicious voice: "Come with us." These people are not good people.

The people at that table don't buy the official account. One of them with a hot temper immediately scolded Sheng Sheng and said, "Why do you ask us to go with you? What are you?" Obviously, this group of people also has status.

The two people sitting next to Yang Duoming saw that there was a dispute between the two sides, and they were afraid of being involved, so they ran away without paying the tea money. Seeing this, the others also got up and left. Yang Duoming naturally left the teahouse with everyone.

Yang Duoming didn't go far, just waited in the street outside. After a while, I saw the official sent a group of people out of the teahouse and headed for the yamen.

Yang Duoming returned to the teahouse after the people left. He took out money from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "I didn't pay for the tea just now." This meant that he came to pay for the tea.

During the season when the shopkeeper was looking for money, Yang Duoming said: "Shopkeeper, what happened in Luoyang City?"

The shopkeeper listened to Yang Duoming's official words and asked, "Where is the guest officer from? How come you haven't heard of such a big thing?"

Yang Duoming said: "I came from Fucheng, and I just arrived today." Yang Duoming spoke official Chinese, and scholars like to speak official Chinese, as if this is the only way to show their own uniqueness. So when Yang Duoming said that he came from Fucheng, it wouldn't make people suspicious.

The shopkeeper looked at Yang Duoming's gentle manner, and Yang Duoming took the initiative to pay the tea money, and immediately said a few more words, "It is said that Lord Zhizhou Jiang was attacked by gangsters, and the government is everywhere in order to track down the murderer. Arrest people, those who look similar to the gangster have been arrested and sent to the Yamen. The spectator is a scholar, so it is better not to walk around recently, so as not to cause trouble." Yang Duoming and Yan Xi's looks are very different. , don't worry about being mistaken.

Yang Duoming looked shocked, and said: "What? This gangster is too bold, even went to Luoyang City to attack Lord Zhizhou?"

The waiter of the tea and wine came up and said with a smirk: "Who said it wasn't? I heard that the gangster scratched Lord Zhizhou's face." After speaking, he made a gesture himself, from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. Bian: "I heard that the scar is so long!"

The shopkeeper scolded Xiao Er and said, "Go do your job, why are you chewing your tongue here? Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth." If Xiao Er caused any trouble, he would also be implicated.

Yan Xi knew that Jiang Hongjin was injured on his face, from his forehead to his neck. Immediately, he smiled strangely and said, "The daughter-in-law of the person who made the attack must have been abducted by the little boy, otherwise she wouldn't have scratched someone else's face." They only said that they wanted Jiang Hongjin to have his arms and legs broken, but they didn't say they wanted Jiang Hongjin to be disfigured , That's why Yan Xi had such a guess.

Yang Duoming said: "No matter what the reason is, if the rumors outside are true, then our goal will be achieved." Jiang Hongjin was disfigured, so he couldn't be an official anymore.

Yan Xi said: "After this accident, Jiang Hongjin will definitely return to Beijing. If he wants to deal with him again in the future, he will have no chance." Doing it in the capital is not as convenient as in Luoyang, and the risk is even greater.

Yang Duoming had an intuition and said, "In the future, I guess there is no need to deal with him anymore." With the character of the princess, it is impossible to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to deal with Jiang Hongjin. And if he really wanted to send them to the capital, it would definitely alarm the prince. As far as he knew, the princess didn't seem to want the prince to know about it.

Yan Xi has been thinking about one thing these days, but he can't figure it out: "Brother, what do you think the princess has a deep hatred for Jiang Hongjin?"

Yang Duoming said with a cold face: "I've said this so far, don't talk about it again." He had promised the princess that no third person would know about it. If the concubine finds out that he has leaked the secret, it's not sure what will happen!

Yan Xi touched his mouth and said, "When I return to the Northwest, I promise not to say a word, is that okay?" He couldn't believe that his elder brother wasn't curious.

At this time, the Zhizhou Mansion was covered with dark clouds. Because of his disfigurement, Jiang Hongjin stayed in the study and did not go out after waking up from his injury. Yurong was stimulated, and her fetal gas moved, and she was lying on the bed to raise the fetus at this time.

Jiang Hongjin looked at Chang Ming who walked in, and asked, "Have you caught that gangster yet?" Yan Xi was very tough, so he thought there must be someone behind Yan Xi's backstage.

Chang Ming shook his head and said: "No, but the magistrate has ordered a strict investigation and the city gate has been sealed. As long as the man is still in Luoyang City, he will definitely be caught." Luoyang City is so big, if you want to hide it, Where can I find it!

Jiang Hongjin's eyes were full of coldness, and he said: "I haven't caught the gangster these days, and it will be even more difficult to catch him in the future. If you pass on my word, if you can provide useful clues, you can get a reward of one hundred taels of silver. If I can help arrest the criminal, I will give you five thousand taels of silver as a reward."

Chang Ming opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that doing this was too much. But seeing the hatred bursting out of Jiang Hongjin's eyes, he swallowed all those words back.

Jiang Hongjin left the study for the first time this day. First went to visit Chang'an, at this time Chang'an had already woken up. Compared to Jiang Hongjin, Chang'an was much more miserable. He was beaten until he vomited blood, but fortunately the doctor said that no vitals were hurt.

Looking at the white gauze on Jiang Hongjin's face, Chang An cried out in grief: "Second Master, I'm sorry for you, I didn't protect Second Master well!"

Jiang Hongjin said: "It's not your fault." The biggest problem with this matter is him. He thought that the person would be the same as last time, only come secretly, but he didn't expect that the other party would have the audacity to buy and kill him. Growth requires sacrifice. There was a price, and his price was too high.

Chang An burst into tears.

Jiang Hongjin said: "Don't think too much, just take care of your wounds!" After finishing speaking, he turned and went out. He didn't go back to the study either, but went to the backyard.

Entering the bedroom, he looked at Yurong who was a little pale. Jiang Hongjin sat down and held Yurong's hands and said, "The fact that I was injured scares you and the child."

Regarding Jiang Hongjin's tenderness, Yurong felt a little unnatural: "I'm fine. It's the second master, what are you going to do this time?" But because of this worry before, the news of Jiang Hongjin's injury spread to the backyard, and Yurong She was frightened a little, but she didn't move the fetal gas. The so-called fetal gas movement was just Yu Rong's deliberate action.

Jiang Hongjin said: "I will definitely tear that man's body into pieces." There was a monstrous hatred in his words. Anyone who is under such a cruel hand will hate the other party to the bone.

Yurong said: "Second Master, the most urgent thing is the wound on your face. The doctor in Luoyang City is definitely not as good as the imperial doctor in Beijing. If it is possible, I'd better go back to Beijing to treat the scar!" Yurong was very worried that the scar on Jiang Hongjin's face would not be enough official. If this is the case, there is nothing to rush forward in the day.

Jiang Hongjin said: "I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you take care of yourself!" Even if he wanted to return to the capital, he had to find out who was behind the scenes. Being harmed like this, even the enemy doesn't know, what face does he have to go back to the capital.

Yurong looked at Jiang Hongjin's back with a sad face. Obviously, the successive changes have changed his mind greatly, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future. (to be continued)
