Because she had a lot of achievements as a child, her name has become louder this summer. In the old days, when the neighbors mentioned her, they often used Yasha, big insects and other things as suffixes. She was very uncomfortable at first hearing it, but then she read a book by chance. The yaksha worm in the book is a constellation that descends to earth, and everyone is afraid of it, and then she went up to the mountain to be a hero, drinking and eating meat in big bowls. She was quite fascinated by it. , the name of the neighborhood is regarded as a good name.
After she became a catcher, because she was a member of the official family, this reputation gradually faded from the neighbors' mouths, and the Yuan family had a rather fierce girl, which everyone knew, let alone a matchmaker. Yuan Chen couldn't hold her daughter, and seeing her getting older every day, no one came to propose marriage, she was very melancholy. She gritted her teeth and thought fiercely: When I prepare a thick dowry, don't worry if you don't come and beg me!
In order to save the dowry, Yuan Chen's family sold tofu during the day and dried tofu at night, which was very difficult. This summer is exhausted by the name, and as a heavyweight loser, I have no part in this matter, so I have to try my best to catch the thief with my tail tucked in, which is also very difficult.
When I heard that my mother actually fell in love with the third child of Mr. Yi's family, my first reaction this summer was how much dowry my mother had saved, so that the Yi family could be tempted. Thinking about it again, Niangqin's idea is really done once and for all: if she marries into the Yi family, as a brother-in-law, Yuan Yi's private school expenses in the next few years can be saved, as well as Bingjing in summer and Tanjingdu in winter. It can be avoided, and it is indeed a small expense.
All these expenses are saved, and the dowry can also be recovered.
Knocked hard on the forehead, this summer looked irritably at the crackling and burning firewood sticks in the stove, and stuffed it again.
When the lights are on, the Jinshui River flows slowly, reflecting the countless bright lights on both sides of the river.
In addition to the picturesque boats that can be heard on the river, there are also boaters and performers. The men with flowers on their heads are shirtless. If someone throws money down on the bank, they will immediately sing a promise with a smile and climb to the towering bamboo poles on the boat. Jumping up, jumping down into the water, there are still flowers in the air, or turning around or doing somersaults before entering the water.
The restaurants on the shore are adjacent to each other, and the small stalls at the bridgeheads on the street are lined up.
This summer, leaning against the small stone lion on the bridge railing, boredly guarding the small stall of braised tofu, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo from the restaurant next to it and the clamor of people, his eyes were fixed on the river. She was here to help tonight, but my mother probably suffered from some wind last night, and her heart was troubled by chores, and her brain was always aching. This summer, she advised her to go home and rest, but Yuan Chen didn't worry about her taking care of the stall. This summer, she had to swear and swear that she would keep the stall honestly without any trouble. Go back to rest first.
"Two strings of dried tofu, add chili oil!" said a laughing voice.
This summer, he came back to his senses, looked up and saw Yang Yue, and said strangely, "How did you know I was here?"
"I just sent two kippers to your house, and I met your mother. By the way, I gave her your business trip allowance. She said that you are here to guard the stall." , drizzled with chili oil, "My father said that we should go to the Ministry of War with him early in the morning."
"Oh." Jin Xia replied nonchalantly, "Did the Office of the Secretary lost something again?"
"Only the devil knows." Yang Yue followed her gaze to the river and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Have you seen that diving juggler?" Nunu said this summer.
Following her words, the shirtless man jumped off the high pole with a beautiful backflip, tucked his knees and played three somersaults in a row, and plunged into the water with a thud... It was when the spring was cold and the river surface was not frozen, but the river was still cold. It was biting cold, Yang Yue couldn't help shrinking his neck and shivered for the man.
"When I sold three bunches of dried bean curd, he danced eight times." This summer, he looked at the shirtless man who climbed onto the boat with infinite admiration, "He jumped for one night and was worth our monthly salary for a month. What are you doing as a catcher?"
"Aren't you too cold?"
"Do you think silver is cold?"
This summer, I looked down at a pile of dried bean curd like a hill, and I didn't know when it would be sold out, so I sighed.
"Are you short of money again?" Yang Yue knew her very well.
Before answering this summer, someone came to the stall—
"I want four strings of dried tofu, two with spicy sauce, and two with plum powder. The more sour the better. My wife wants to eat something sour right now." The doting tone made goosebumps all over his body. Sun Jixing, the eldest of the Sun family who came to the night market with his wife.
Although he was reluctant to raise his eyes, for the sake of collecting money, this summer, he hurriedly made the dried bean curd and handed it over, and said expressionlessly, "Four copper coins, thank you."
Sun Jixing pays. Mrs Sun took the dried bean curd and blinked at her: "Hey, this summer, why are you watching the stall? Don't you need to catch the thief?"
"...cough...it's a special mission." This summer lowered his voice and leaned over, "Recently, the government is deploying a big operation, you don't have to walk around on the street, especially if you are pregnant, it's even worse if you bump into it. ."
Sun Jixing became nervous when he heard this: "Really?!"
This summer, he motioned them to look at Yang Yue next to him, and asked back: "Or do you think the two of us are here... Is it really for selling dried tofu?"
Sun Jixing hurriedly helped his wife to go home, Yang Yue watched their backs disappear into the crowd, and then said in surprise to Jinxia: "Well, what are you doing to scare them?"
"Their loving couple wandered around in front of my mother, and if my mother had to complain about my car when she went back, I couldn't retort, and I could really suffocate my life."
She pinched her brows in annoyance, and suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd on the left. She was about to stretch her head to look when she saw a man wearing a fluttering scarf and a three-inlaid Taoist robe fell over the pedestrians and fell heavily, impartially. It fell on her dried bean curd stand, and the stewed bean curd immediately spilled all over the ground, and various sauces splashed everywhere!
"Hey you… "
Seeing that he was still holding a pair of golden cooked copper bells and pestles in his hand, he was obviously a fortune teller walking down the street. He reached out his hand to pull her this summer, but the fortune teller waved back, revealing a long, bright dagger at the bottom of his sleeve, with a cold blue glow. At a glance, you can see that the blade is smeared with poison.
"Be careful!" Yang Yue was shocked and rushed forward.
This life has changed so suddenly, Rao reacted sharply this summer, turned sideways in time, and slashed half of her sleeves diagonally with a dagger.
Yang Yue had already made his move, but someone came later, only to see a green shadow passing by, and his flying legs kicked the fortune-teller to the point where he vomited blood, and he could only struggle on the ground.
"Speak! Where are the secrets hidden?"
The visitor was wearing a bamboo-green solid-gauze-gold upholstery with a natural color belt, and was very neat and tidy.
"...I don't know!" The fortune teller broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
This blue-shirted man, recognized this summer.
In today's time, there are high and powerful people, and Sejong, who is high and high but only dedicated to the Tao, is left with two people. One is Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, who formed a party in the DPRK and China for personal gain, needless to say. There is another person, Lu Bing, the highest commander of Jin Yiwei. He and Sejong are good buddies who grew up together. They even risked their lives to save Sejong by rushing into the fire. The relationship between him and Sejong is just one word iron, two words porcelain and three words. Strictly speaking, Lu Bing is still a good official. Although he excludes dissidents and holds the power alone, he at least fulfills his duties and has indeed rehabilitated many unjust cases in the jail.
The demeanor of the supreme commander of Jinyiwei, I have experienced this summer. Lu Bing, his sword eyebrows, star eyes, long beards, fluttering eyes, and his eyes are flowing, not angry but powerful, which is very intimidating.
And the man in the blue shirt in front of him this summer is Lu Bing's son, Lu Yi. Lu Bing was born in Wu Zhuangyuan, and it is said that Lu Yi has a strong martial arts, not under his father, and is one of the best masters in Jinyiwei.
In her opinion, in terms of appearance, Lu Yi should look like his mother, not powerful enough but more than handsome, but his eyes are exactly like his father, his expression is calm, calm and not commensurate with his age, and more A bit chilly.
Lu Yi's feet spun slightly and added a little more strength. This summer, he felt that he could even hear the bones of the fortune teller's wrist crackling.
"I...really...don't know!" The fortune teller's voice was extremely stern.
This fortune-teller is carrying a poisonous dagger, so she is definitely not a good person. Although she knew that Jin Yiwei had always been a heavy hand this summer, but he forced a confession like this, she couldn't help it, and she stepped forward and said, "I don't know what this fortune-teller has done. ? Even if you want to interrogate... "
She was only halfway through her words, Lu Yi didn't even lift her eyelids, her clothes swayed, revealing the Jinyiwei waist card tied around her waist, and said coldly, "The government is handling the case, wait for the idle people to get out of the way!"
When they saw that it was Jin Yiwei, the people around were so curious that they didn't dare to look any further, and they dispersed quickly and silently. The originally bustling Xinfengqiaotou soon became deserted.
In the meantime, four more people arrived, all of them with a swastika scarf, blue and long body, leather armor, and soap leather boots. The four went to Lu Yi and respectfully reported, "Master Lu, Cao Ge is dead."
Hearing the words Cao Ge this summer, he already understood something, and he couldn't help sighing secretly: After only half a day's work, Cao Ge really couldn't be tortured, and he died of tossing.
It has been more than two years since the arrest, and this summer, I have been detained a lot, and I have also written many life mottos for myself, such as: a good man will not suffer immediate losses; The plan for his own life is naturally to run towards the road of Junjie. At the moment, although she was not used to Jin Yiwei's lofty virtues, the Six Doors did not have the right to interfere in Jin Yiwei's case. She wanted to leave, but her eyes fell on the tofu scum all over the place, and when she thought of her mother's face, she said, " The adage that people live for wealth and birds die for food" appeared in due course.
She tried to make her voice cry as much as possible, preferably with a pitiful effect: "Master, you can't smash my booth when you handle the case!"
No one answered, maybe no one heard at all.
Lu Yi frowned unbearably, pointed at the fortune teller and said, "Bring it back to the prison!"
The fortune teller knew the horrors of the prison, his face changed horribly, he suddenly got up and struggled, not to escape, but to slam on the poison-stained dagger...
The poison was very domineering, but in the blink of an eye, the fortune teller vomited black blood and died.
Lu Yi's brows furrowed, and he gave a concise order: "Search your body."
The four Jinyi guards carefully searched the fortune teller's body, and she and Yang Yue watched from the sidelines. Watching them go from head to toe, untie the bun of the corpse, and then to the intimate clothing, even the soles of the shoes are cut to prevent hiding things.
"The work is quite meticulous." Yang Yue looked at it and whispered towards Jinxia.
This summer, he dismissed it: "What's the matter, practice makes perfect, at most it's the level of our yamen, a bunch of rough people."
Lu Yi turned his back to the two of them and didn't know if he heard him. He turned his head slightly, and the corners of his eyes were as cold as ice, causing Yang Yue, who was about to speak, to shut up.
"Master Lu, no!" After the search, thousands of households reported to Lu Yi.
"Guess what they are looking for?" Yang Yue was curious and asked Jin Xia in a low voice, out of his catching instinct.
Earlier, Yang Yue said that the Department of Military Affairs of the Ministry of War had lost something, and Cao Ge was from the Ministry of War. This summer, he had already guessed it in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he said, "It goes without saying that it must be a major case related to national affairs."
Lu Yi turned his head again. Although he didn't speak, the cold light in his eyes clearly meant: Shut up!
Now for this summer, the imminent matter is not a major military event, but the smashed tofu stall in front of her, so she spoke again, with a sincere and simple tone: "Master, these dried tofu of mine are actually not expensive. It's enough for you to give two taels of silver."
At the same time, one of the thousands of households said to Lu Yi with a worried face: "Both of them are dead, and I can't find a picture, the governor's side..."
"Cough," this summer had no choice but to raise his voice at the back: "Several officials, you should at least pay some money!"
Her voice was crisp and bright, and it was hard for people to ignore it. Now, not only Lu Yi, but also all the Jinyiweis were watching.
"Two taels of silver is enough." This Xia accompanied him with a smile, motioning them to look at the dried bean curd in one place.
"You're looking for death! Why don't you get out now!"
A thousand-hundred-hundred-of-a-kind households shouted at her.
On the issue of silver taels, this summer has always been very resilient, unmoving: "I'll leave if I lose money, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my mother."
"you… "
Thousands of households forced forward to fight, but Lu Yi stopped him with an annoying wave of hands.
"Give her money to let them go!" Lu Yi obviously didn't want to cause more troubles at the moment of the big event, let alone see irrelevant people.
Thousands of households did not dare not to obey his orders, so they had to take out their purse and threw two taels of silver to this summer.
This summer, I happily collected the money and prepared to leave with Yang Yue. After walking a few steps, I stopped and looked back at Lu Yi, reminding me in a good mood: "I don't know what the officials are looking for, but his clothes There are traces of moss on the sleeves, the shoes are half wet, and I guess he has just been to places close to the river before, such as bridge holes or something."
Lu Yi stared at her, then squatted down on one knee to check, and sure enough, there were traces of moss on the left and right sleeves of the fortune teller.
"The place was a little high, so he put his feet up, leaned against the wall with his left hand, and reached it with his right hand." This summer continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there will be moss shavings under the nails of his left hand."
Lu Yi took a close look with his left hand holding the corpse, and sure enough, he found a few green stars in the middle of his fingers, thoughtful.
Seeing that he had understood this summer, he turned and left, carrying two taels of silver on his body, and his footsteps were much lighter than usual.
"I have long said that they are a bunch of rude people, and they know that they are fighting and killing, and they cannot stand on the stage." She was very disdainful of Jin Yiwei's style, and said to Yang Yue as she walked. "If they can do it better, we won't have to go to the Military Department Office tomorrow morning."
"You also know?"
"Everyone is dead, and things have been found. What else is there to do with us." Thinking about it this summer, I feel a little regretful, "If I knew that Cao Ge was collaborating with the enemy, the reward should be higher!"
Half an hour later, the Jizhou defense map wrapped in tarpaulin was found in a depression in a bridge pier. The real name of the fortune-teller is Song Yongwen, but he is actually a double-sided fine work hidden in the capital, which collects information and sells it at a high price. Cao Ge offended his boss and was transferred from the capital. In retaliation, he stole the defense map and sold it to Song Yongwen, and then fled with Qiqiu.
When the case was concluded, Jinyiwei commanded Lu Bing to enter the palace late at night. Sejong was still angry and ordered to remove the Minister of War, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and the right servant of the Ministry of War for one year's salary.
