Seeing Jiang Fang's silence, the two brothers were worried: "How on earth do you know we are lying?"
"Ha ha." Jiang Fang grinned
Is it a fraud?
The two brothers looked at each other and resented themselves for saying too much.
At this time, it was too late to repent. Although the young man opposite was young, he could command Li Xi, Yuanyu and others. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary Yamen Runner. If his arrogance irritates him, I'm afraid that even if he gets away with today, he will be in prison in the future.
After thinking for a while, the man in white said, "Sir, we have to."
Play!
Jiang Fang smiled in his heart, but his face was still serious: "Why do you have to?"
"My name is Huang Long, and this is my brother Huang Hu. I was born two years earlier than Huang Hu, so I am Huang Hu's brother..."
The white shirted man who claimed to be Huang Long was garrulous, which finally made Jiang Fang understand.
The old woman who was helped in by Li Xi was called Ma Ma. Ma Ma lost her husband in his early years. She was single and brought up the Yellow Dragon and the Yellow Tiger. Although she was not rich, her mother was kind and her son was filial, and she was able to live.
During this period, because Huanglong was getting older, Ma made arrangements for his marriage, but his family was poor, and the girls in Xinyang County were unwilling to condescend.
Late last night, someone came uninvited and was willing to pay a lot of money to marry Huang Long, on the condition that the mother and son must come to the Yamen to perform a play.
"This is the origin of the matter." Huang Long said anxiously, "Please investigate!"
Jiang Fang stared at the two brothers for a while. Seeing that their expressions were not fake, he felt a little strange.
The three people of Ma are just ordinary people. Why do mysterious people want to make a big deal about this?
Let Huang Long and Huang Hu come to the Yamen to make trouble. Is it possible that the real target of the mysterious man is the people in the Yamen?
"Officer!"
Seeing Jiang Fang's face, he thought that Jiang Fang was considering whether to sentence the old woman to death. The two brothers said in unison, "This is what my two brothers did, and it has nothing to do with my mother! As long as the official let my mother go, my two brothers will be punished by the official!"
"You have violated the laws and regulations of the current dynasty for your own interests and disturbing the order of the Yamen." Jiang Fang frowned slightly: "I can say a few good words for you from the magistrate. But it depends on you whether you can save your mother or not."
"As long as the official needs, we will fully cooperate!"
The two brothers were surprised when they heard that Jiang Fang intended to release people.
"That's good." Jiang Fang lowered his voice and said, "Let me ask you. Is there any other specific arrangement for the mysterious man besides letting you come to the Yamen to make trouble?"
"The man said that as long as we make trouble in the Yamen, the Yamen will send someone to look for the lost jewelry." Huanglong didn't think twice.
Looking for lost jewelry?
Jewelry has not been lost, and even if the Yamen is powerful, it is difficult to arrest and convict people.
The real purpose of the mysterious man may be to lead the Yamen Runner to the place where the jewelry is lost.
"Where do you live?" Jiang Fang asked a lot of questions: "In addition to your mother and son, there are still outsiders in the family? Have you seen that mysterious person before? What does he look like? Do you know where he lives?"
"As the official said, we live in Linfeng Street near the Xicheng Bridge, next to the City God Temple. There are no strangers at home. The mysterious man is tall, thin, and has dark cheeks. Since we visited at night, we did not see his specific appearance. We have not seen him before, let alone where he lives now."
In order to rescue the mother, the two brothers said everything they knew: "In addition, when the mysterious man entered the door, we smelled a strange smell. It was very fishy and salty, and it was a little uncomfortable."
Living near the City God Temple?
Very fishy and salty?
Does this matter have something to do with the City God Temple?
Jiang Fang knew something was wrong, but his face was still calm: "I will let you go home later, and then you will walk in front of me, and I will follow you. You should not be too nervous and excited, and be normal."
"Good!" The two brothers were both surprised and delighted. "What's the origin of the mysterious man? Is he a bandit?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
......
After the mother and son left, Li Xi listened to Jiang Fang saying that they would follow each other. He said happily, "Brother Jiang, I'm ready. Do you think we should act together or separately? If we act together, will the other party be aware of it? If we act separately, should we discuss the place and meeting first?"
"I can do it alone."
Jiang Fang didn't know what the mysterious man was going to do, so he didn't want Li Xi to take the risk with him: "You wait here. If I don't come back in an hour, I will inform Boss Niu and Lao Wang immediately."
"Are you right, Brother Jiang? Serious cases don't take me with them?" Li Xi looked aggrieved and said, "Just let me inform you. Am I so unbearable in your heart?"
"I'm charging at the front, and you are sitting at the rear. We are equally important." Seeing Li Xi, Jiang Fang was still very upset. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if it is really a serious case, you can't escape even if you want to be lazy."
While Yuan Yu and Lin Yao were not paying attention, Jiang Fang attached to Li Xi's ear and said, "This may have something to do with the City God Temple. Let me go and find out the situation first. You are a native. You exposed your identity as an errand as soon as you appeared, which is easy to scare people."
Lian said to coax Li Ximei and finally made her smile: "Well, I'll wait here first. If you don't come back one hour later, I'll take Boss Niu and Lao Wang to save you."
With Boss Niu and Lao Wang?
Who takes who?
After leaving Yamen, Jiang Fang messed up her hair and followed Huang Long and others in front.
Just after lunch, there were few people and merchants on the street, which made tracking work difficult. Fortunately, Jiang Fang had seen a lot of spy films before. He said that he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, not to mention royal agents. It was easy to track a few "rural civilians" in this "wild place".
Li Xi had already introduced the urban construction of Xinyang County to Jiang Fang before and knew that Linfeng Street, as the two brothers said, was a left fork in the middle of Shuangyang Road, which was also a famous "slum" in Xinyang County.
After walking for a while, a corner of the City God Temple loomed in front.
It may be that they are afraid to speed up the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the mother and son stop in front of a cold noodle stall.
"Shopkeeper." The old woman Ma took out the cloth roll from her arms and slowly spread it out to reveal more than ten copper coins inside: "Three bowls of cold noodles, one bowl is not spicy, the other two nights add more onions and garlic."
"Good!"
The attentive waiter immediately wiped the table with money. Not far away, the chubby shopkeeper had begun to warm the oil.
The fragrance came from afar along the warm wind, which made the boat gnash its teeth.
From morning to now, except for a bowl of rice porridge and a few steamed stuffed dumplings, no water has been touched. At this time, the boat has been in Luodun, and the steamed stuffed dumplings and rice porridge have been completely digested. The aroma of cold noodles is immediately horrible.
"Gululu..."
The frustrated belly moaned continuously.
"Hey, it's just a bowl of cold noodles! It's not hygienic and healthy, what's delicious!" Jiang Fang tried to comfort himself: "Compared with the hot pot grilled crawfish, cold noodles are hard to swallow!"
"Gulululululululululu......"
After about half a column of incense, the mother and son had enough to eat and drink, and they were on their way again. Jiang Fang wanted to wait for the three to eat a bowl of cold noodles. Worried about being greedy, he had to rub his stomach and continue to follow.
It was not easy,
The three stopped in front of an old house.
When the old woman didn't notice, Huang Long looked back at the corner and saw Jiang Fang peering around, pointing to the locked wooden door. Jiang Fang nodded, and Huang Long turned to open the door and helped the old woman into the hospital with Huang Hu.
After waiting for a while, it was confirmed that no one was paying attention around. Jiang Fang crept to the old house and listened carefully. The conversation between the old woman and Huang Long was heard in the distance behind the door. He tried to push it with his hands again. The wooden door gave a slight "squeak" and opened a dark gap.
"Well done."
Jiang Fang smiled and appreciated Huang Long's cooperation.
Just as he was about to push the door in, a sharp cold came from the contact between his fingers and the wooden door. At the same time, he faintly smelled a smell of fishy salt on his nose.
Jiang Fang, aware of the difference, stepped back quickly. When he looked up, he saw the position of the painting on the door of the wooden door. The originally kind looking Shouxing showed his teeth and his face was grim.
"Reclining trough!"
Although he had been prepared for it, it was so amazing that Jiangfang could not help but whisper.
