Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant
Chapter 118 The imperial envoy offers advice to persuade the imperial cat to capture the thief at th
When the lights were on, in the Tianzi room of the Furui Inn, after Yan Chasan listened to Bai Yutang's work report for the whole day, he began to summarize the work and arrange the next work according to the usual practice.
"So, Brother Bai intends to go to the Meng Mansion tomorrow to ask the Meng family's father and daughter about their intention to get married?" Yan Chasan asked.
"That's right." Bai Yutang said seriously.
"Okay." Yan Cha nodded, thought for a while and said, "Yan speculates that after Brother Bai proposes marriage, the father and daughter of the Meng family will definitely do something. Brother Bai should be careful."
Everyone nodded with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Bai and Brother Ai will have to deal more with the Meng family's father and daughter in the next few days." Yan Chasan said, looking at Bai Yutang and Ai Hu.
"Don't worry, my lord!" Bai Yutang smiled lightly.
"Ai Hu will do his best!" Ai Hu was full of awe.
Yan Chasan nodded and said, "Yan has ordered the local county captain to be on call at any time, and act according to Yan's handwritten instructions." Then he turned to Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian, "I'm afraid Zhan's guards and soldiers will have to work hard these few days. Captain Jin, after the father and daughter of the Meng family succeed in borrowing money from Mr. Yun, the two of you need to closely monitor the whole of the Meng family day and night, so as to prevent the two of you from repeating their old plan and use Jin Chan to escape. When the father and daughter of the Meng family have a tendency to flee , report back immediately, then we can work together with the county police to capture him in one fell swoop!"
"Your subordinates obey!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists in response.
After the arrangements were made, there was a moment of silence in the house.At this time, everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It seems, a little too quiet...
It seems that there is someone who has not said a word from the beginning to the end...
At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to the sixth-rank captain who talked the most and loudest on weekdays, but since returning with Zhan Zhao today, he seemed to have lost his soul in a daze.
But seeing Jin Qian standing alone in the shadow of a corner, his eyes empty, his face full of trance, and his thin figure trembling in the cool autumn night, it looked very sad.
Yan Chasan looked puzzled, and looked at Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang frowned, and looked at Zhan Zhao, Yu Mo looked at Zhan Zhao with a serious expression, Ai Hu scratched his head, and followed everyone's gaze at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao felt his scalp go numb, took a step forward, and called softly, "Captain Jin?"
Unexpectedly, this soft call sounded like thunder to Jin Qian's ears, blasting Jin Qian to a height of more than three feet, and when he looked back and saw Zhan Zhao who was two steps away from him, his complexion suddenly changed. He was pale, and his feet seemed to be equipped with hot wheels, and he backed up a few steps, straight back to the door, staring at a certain guard with a knife in horror with his two round, thin red eyes.
That expression, that look, that movement, that reaction, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a frightened rabbit.
A dead silence.
Yan Chasan looked surprised, Ai Hu stared round his eyes, Yu Mo frowned slightly, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Zhan Zhao with a gloomy face, and sneered: "I said cat, you are a little What happened to Jinzi? Look, little Jinzi was frightened—”
Zhan Zhao's handsome face seemed to be brewing a ten-level storm, gloomy and penetrating.
"Subordinates, subordinates go back to rest first..." A certain sixth-rank school lieutenant at the center of the storm left an irresponsible ending and ran away.
The rest of the people in the room stared wide-eyed.
"Master Yan, this subordinate will leave first." Zhan Zhao pushed the door out with his stiff waist straight.
"This is really interesting." Bai Yutang stood up shaking his fan, "Looking at Xiao Jinzi's appearance, could it be that the stinky cat did something to scare Xiao Jinzi?"
"I think Brother Jin is a bold person, what can scare Brother Jin?" Ai Hu obviously has a kind of blind worship for Jin Qian.
"This..." Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, but he was speechless.
Yan Chasan stared at the direction Zhan and Jin left for a while, raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and murmured, "Brother Zhan, Brother Jin... Could it be... oh..."
Only Yu Mo looked at the various expressions of everyone in the room with a calm face, and continued to act as the background board with a calm face.
-
In the next few days, things went surprisingly smoothly.
In the early morning of the next day after returning from enjoying the scenery in Qiaolin Valley, Bai Yutang brought Ai Hu to the Meng Mansion to propose marriage to Meng Huashu, the master of the Meng family. After Mr. Yun returned home and submitted a formal application to his parents, he chose a date to officially hire him.The two parties fully affirmed the perfect result of the century-old relationship between Yunmeng and Meng, and imagined and planned for the bright future of the two.The meeting ended successfully in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
Three days later, the father and daughter of the Meng family invited Mr. Yun to a banquet in the back garden of their home. During the banquet, they choked up and drank tears, explaining that the Meng family's silk business encountered a bottleneck, so they specially asked Mr. Yun to sponsor 1 taels of silver for turnover.
After a little thought, Mr. Yun happily agreed to the Meng family's request with the principle that "Meng Yun's family is one family". Mr. Meng wrote down the IOU and indicated the repayment date and interest.
This prudent performance won the trust of the Meng family's father and daughter. Five days later, Mr. Yun received the returned banknotes and interest. At the same time, the Meng family's father and daughter proposed to expand the business scale and specially invited Mr. Yun to invest in shares. .
During this period, Meng Qiulan used blatant beauty tricks to seduce him many times, and Master Meng also described to Mr. Yun a beautiful blueprint for the future with a smooth tongue. In the end, he successfully invited Mr. Yun to invest 5000 taels of silver.In order to clarify the investment relationship, Mr. Meng even wrote a partnership share agreement with his own hands, which was signed by both parties, and each of the Meng and Yun families held a copy to show their sincerity.
After Yan Chasan carefully read and appraised this partnership share agreement, it was confirmed that it was very reasonable and legal, which surprised everyone.
And on the day when the Meng family borrowed money from Mr. Yun for the first time, everyone followed Yan Chasan's instructions. Bai Yutang was on duty during the day as Mr. Yun, Yu Mo and Ai Hu were in charge of the first half of the night, Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were in charge of the second half of the night. The shift schedule, the close supervision of the Meng family's three-shift rotation system for twelve hours.
However, he encountered a rather small difficulty.
For some reason, a certain sixth-rank captain changed his behavior of flattering his boss anytime and anywhere. As long as he stared at a certain fourth-rank guard, he shrank his head and hid his tail like a frightened herbivore, which greatly affected the cooperation between the two The effect and the mood of a certain fourth-rank guard.After only two days of monitoring, more than half of the servants and maidservants in the Meng Mansion and Mrs. Yan who was in charge of dispatching in the inn developed symptoms of wind and cold.
As a last resort, Yan Chasan could only adjust the staff on duty.
Swapping Ai Hu and Jin Qian, Yu Mo and Jin Qian were on duty for the first half of the night, Zhan Zhao and Ai Hu were on duty for the second half of the night, and this barely solved the problem.
-
Crows crow in dark willows, wind lanterns are messy, silently locked in a cavity of sorrow;
Remnant Ying half garden, dew sprinkled on the empty steps, looking at the candles in the west window.
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the Furui Inn, with occasional wisps of weak candlelight coming out of the window, reflecting the bleak phoenix trees and falling autumn leaves.
Yan Chasan closed the file on the desk, closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eye sockets, got up and walked outside, took a deep breath, and felt the cool air seep into his chest and lungs, and his restless mood for several days suddenly calmed down point.
The rustling of fallen leaves underfoot made the night even more silent.
Suddenly, a faint sigh came from behind the tree.
Yan Chasan stopped and looked up.
The waning moon is pale, and the cold glow is like frost. She is dressed in blue and stands leaning against a tree. She is straight and thin and lonely. When the night wind suddenly blows, her black hair flutters in a mess, and she dances bleakly.
"Guard Zhan?" Yan Chasan's tone was a little uncertain.
The blue shadow seemed to wake up from a dream, trembled suddenly, turned around and clasped a fist at Yan Chasan: "Master Yan."
The tone was as steady as usual, as if the scene just now was just Yan Chasan's eyes dazzled.
Yan Chasan looked at the blue-clothed guard who was acting impartially as always, and said softly, "Guard Zhan will go to the Meng Mansion to guard in half an hour. He should rest in the house at this time. Why are you here—" Yan Chasan Cha San looked around, "Appreciate the waning moon and mourn the autumn wind?"
Zhan Zhao's expression froze: "Master Yan was joking, Zhan's responsibility is that the major fraud case has not been solved, and his subordinates have no intention of admiring the moon."
"The case will of course be solved, but health is still important..." Yan Chasan sighed again, "Seeing that brother Zhan has been unable to sleep at night these days, is there something on his mind?"
Zhan Zhao bowed his head and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty is worried, Zhan Zhao is terrified."
The words were very respectful, but it seemed that he had no intention of having a heart-to-heart talk with Yan Chasan.
Yan Chasan raised his forehead, and for the first time felt that Zhan Zhao's rigid and straightforward personality was a bit of a headache. After thinking about it, he had to start the topic by himself.
"In the past few days, Captain Jin seems to be..." Yan Chasan glanced at Zhan Zhao, observing Zhan Zhao's expression, "I was frightened..."
Zhan Zhao's expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of bitterness in his black eyes.
Yan Cha was relieved, rubbed his forehead, and said slowly: "Brother Zhan, Yan has been poor since he was a child, and he has to take care of his younger brother. He often doesn't know the taste of meat for months..."
Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Yan Chasan with a puzzled expression on his face. He obviously didn't understand why Mr. Yan changed the subject suddenly, and so abruptly?
Yan Chasan seemed to be unaware of it, and continued on his own: "A certain scholar Yan is not capable of hunting in the mountains, but Xiao Yi often clamors to eat meat. In desperation, Yan can only I thought of a way to trap wild rabbits."
Speaking of this, Yan Chasan suddenly showed a smile: "Brother Zhan, do you know what the method is?"
Zhan Zhao frowned, paused, and said, "Please make it clear, my lord."
Yan Chasan's smile was even stronger: "Yan is putting the leftover vegetables and radishes in the field as bait for the wild rabbits to eat. Every day, he will move the bait to Yan's home by one foot. After ten days, A few wild rabbits followed the bait into the courtyard cage unknowingly, and became something in Yan's pocket."
Zhan Zhao raised his head suddenly, a gleam of light flashed across his black eyes.
"Hares are born timid. If you catch them rashly, you will be frightened and flee. If you want to catch them again, it will be even more difficult. How about dispelling their vigilance with rich bait, slowly lure them into the cage, and then take care of them patiently , and when it cannot leave, the hare will become a docile domestic rabbit." Yan Chasan concluded with a faint smile.
The wind rustled through the gaps in the leaves.
Under the cold autumn moon, Zhan Zhao fixedly looked at Yan Chasan, his cold black eyes flickering.
Yan Chasan suddenly felt the cold wind blowing behind him, he couldn't help shivering, coughed lightly, and added: "When Yan, the doctor of Yulin Village, the immortal and poisonous sage, brought the letter to Kaifeng Mansion, he once clarified the identity of Lieutenant Jin. Tell Yan."
During the speech, when he bit the word "identity" heavily, he even winked at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao's expression suddenly brightened, he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Yan Chasan's all-seeing eyes, and two blush floated on his ears.
"Zhan... Thank you, brother Yan, for your suggestion."
Yan Chasan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled knowingly, turned and went back to the room.
Zhan Zhao asked again from behind: "Brother Yan, what happened to those captured hares?"
"Naturally—" Yan Chasan turned his head and smiled elegantly, "Eat it and wipe it off."
A pair of cat ears suddenly turned red and transparent.
-
In fact, just as Zhan Zhao and Yan Chasan expected, Jin Qian was indeed frightened.However, the reason for being frightened was that He Zhan and Yan's guesses were somewhat different.
That day, under the pink and ambiguous atmosphere, Zhan Zhao's performance was naturally a little uncontrollable, but a dull modern person with a reflection arc longer than the earth's equator did not notice Zhan Zhao's abnormality.
At that time, all of Jin Qian's attention was focused on the weird thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind.
The idea is—
I actually want to kiss Zhan Zhao! ! !
Amount drop a Jesus God!
What a frightening idea this is! !
What's even more frightening is that since then, every time Jin Qian saw Zhan Zhao looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, that inappropriate thought was like sparks on the grassland—a single spark can start a prairie fire!
Jin Qian was shocked, Jin Qian was shocked, and Jin Qian was depressed.
Helplessly, no one can tell about this broken state of mind. For Chatterbox Jin, this is really too hard!
Take a look at the few people around you who can choose to talk to——
Zhan Zhao—just kidding, how can such obscene and impure thoughts pollute a pure cat!
Bai Yutang—just kidding, this is Zhan Xiaomao's official partner, if he knows that such an obscene and impure thought suddenly occurred to him, he will definitely be chopped into eight petals and crushed to ashes!
Yan Chasan—it’s not that Jin Qian doesn’t trust Comrade Yan Shusheng’s IQ, but that Jin Qian always feels that Comrade Yan and Gongsun Zhuzi have the same effect and should not be close to—
Ai Hu—well, we don’t know each other very well...
Therefore, the glorious and arduous task of listening to Jinqian's grievances should fall on Comrade Yu Mo, who "will not talk too much, will not gossip, and is absolutely strict."
So, in the dead of night, on the roof of the uninhabited Meng Mansion hall, after three days and five hours of deliberation, Jin Qian decided not to hold it in any longer, otherwise he would definitely suffer from constipation, angina, liver cirrhosis...
"Cough, that Yu Mo, let me ask you something." Jin Qian, who was lying on the roof, looked at Yu Mo who was lying beside him, and asked hesitantly.
Yu Mo turned his head and stared at Jin Qian with his dark eyes motionless.
"That's, that..." Jin Qian scratched his head, "If there is a beauty, the kind of beauty who smiles all over the city and then laughs all over the country, strolls in front of you every day, and treats you very well, will you, will you?" Don't you have any abnormal thoughts about him?"
"Illegal, idea?" Yu Mo tilted his head.
"That, that, that..." Jin Qian wiped his sweat, "It's not very good, the kind that is not suitable for children..."
Yu Mo thought for a while, his dark eyes flashed: "Overwhelmed?"
Jin Qian's figure flickered and he almost fell off the roof.
"It's not that explosive!" Jin Qian gritted his teeth, "I just want to—" Slender Eyes looked around, lowered his voice, "Chirp."
"Oh." Yu Mo nodded, and moved his head closer to Jin Qian.
"Why?" Jin Qian wondered.
"Chirp." Yu Mo said flatly.
Jin Qian's figure flickered: "Hello!!"
Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian with a pair of big watery eyes, feeling a little inexplicably wronged: "My sister said that Yu Mo is a beauty, and Jin Qian wants to kiss a beauty, Yu Mo."
"..." Jin Qian suddenly had the urge to bump into tofu.
"I didn't kiss you..." Jin Qian whispered, twitching the veins on his forehead.
"Oh." Yu Mo looked a little lonely, and gave Jin Qian a pitiful look, "Then who are you kissing?"
"Uh!" Jin Qian froze, "We think, think... no, we just want to do a survey, do you understand the survey? For example, if you see a pleasing beauty every day, will you suddenly think about it one day?" want--"
Speaking of this, Jin Qian suddenly stopped.
Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian inexplicably.
But seeing Jinqian's thin eyes staring straight at the void, after a while, his eyelids slowly blinked twice, and after a while, his face gradually glowed with brilliance, and after a while, his narrow eyes curled up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and finally, he tapped Wa Ti, suddenly enlightened: "We know! This is the same as our idols in the modern nympho." Jin Qian's eyes lit up, and he began to whisper to himself happily, "I think back then, We are all salivating over the piles of three-dimensional Two-dimensional beauties, not only want to kiss, but even think—hehehe... so, so it is!"
Yu Mo watched Jin Qian's watery eyes slowly widen.
"So, we must have pure admiration for cats like idols!"
Yu Mo narrowed his eyes slowly.
"So, it's normal, it's normal!" Jin Qian said happily to himself, and kept nodding.
"Only when the heart moves can one be moved emotionally." Yu Mo suddenly said in a low voice.
Jin Qianzheng was very excited that he had found a reasonable explanation, obviously he didn't hear Yu Mo's almost inaudible "essence" comment.
Yu Mo turned his head, and threw out another sentence, "Stupid!"
"Ah, we've been worried for so many days, it's really unfounded!" Speaking of this, Jin Qian rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "This situation must have happened because we only saw one beauty all day long. This kind of illusion, um—so, we should look at other beauties more and broaden our horizons to be the right way!" Then, Jin Qian looked at Yu Mo again, "Yu Mo, do you think we should be more beautiful? Go to Huajie and Liuxiang to learn a lot..."
"Flower Street and Willow Alley?!"
The ice voice sounded very timely.
Jin Qian shook his head and turned his head slowly.
But seeing Zhan Zhao silently landed on the eaves behind him, looking down at him from a high position, the blue clothes are like pine, the sleeves of his clothes are billowing, and the crescent moon behind his back is like a hook, like the watery moonlight shining on Zhan Zhao's solemn and handsome face, his eyebrows are even more sword-like Flying temples, eyes like cold stars.
"Master Zhan..." Jin Qian shrank his neck.
Zhan Zhao's expression changed, and the cold air that was about to rise suddenly stopped.
"Lieutenant Jin, Yumo, you've worked hard on the defense." In the blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao has become that calm and capable fourth-rank guard with a knife.
"No hard work, no hard work!" Jin Qian showed a very affectionate smile towards Zhan Zhao, waved towards Zhan Zhao and said in a low voice, "Master Zhan, lie down here, stand here and the wind is strong, be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhan Zhao was dazed for a while by the bright smiling face that he hadn't seen for a long time, squatting beside Jin Qian in a daze, he couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Jin Qian, you—"
"Ah?" Jin Qian's slender eyes shone with pure light.
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes moved lightly, his expression gradually softened, and he smiled faintly: "That's all."
That smile is like a branch of red wintersweet in the white winter snow, like the only bright color in the cold world, Jin Qian saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart: Mr. Zhan laughed like this, it is really terrible!
Faced with such a beautiful woman, it would be abnormal if we have no idea at all!
So, we are normal, absolutely normal!
Yu Mo silently glanced at Jin Qian, then at Zhan Zhao, made a gesture that seemed to roll his eyes, and muttered, "Both, you're so stupid."
But this sound was covered by Ai Hu's voice rushing over.
"I can count on catching up—" Ai Hufei climbed onto the roof, panting and wiping sweat profusely on the side of several people and said, "Nan Xia's lightness kung fu has really reached the pinnacle like the rumors in the world, I, I can even run I'm about to lose my temper..."
"Brother Ai." Jin Qian clasped his fist at Ai Hu with a smile.
"Brother Jin." Ai Hu returned the gift, glanced at the quiet Meng mansion, and asked, "How is it?"
"It's still the same." Jin Qian spread his hands, "There is not even a shadow of a ghost..."
"Shut up." Zhan Zhao interrupted Jin Qian, his figure became short, and he stuck to the roof tiles, staring at the Meng Mansion with a serious expression.
Everyone looked serious, and immediately hid quietly.
Hearing a sound of "squeak--", the door of the side room in the backyard of the Meng Mansion was half opened, and the two sneaked out.
The night was dark, but with the moonlight, it was still not difficult for everyone to distinguish that one of them was an old man and the other was a young girl, they were Meng's father and daughter.
At this moment, both of them were carrying two huge burdens on their backs, looking at each step, and stalking with their front feet, apparently about to run away.
"Jin Qian, go and report to Lord Yan!" Zhan Zhao ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Jin Qian ran back to the inn to report to Ming Yan Chasan, Yan Chasan immediately asked Jin Qian and Bai Yutang to take their order to the county government office and kicked the sleeping magistrate out of bed.
As soon as the county magistrate saw the imperial envoy's letter, he knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately deployed a team of 20 policemen, and rushed to the gate of Guang'an Town with Jin and Bai.
When they arrived at the city gate, the Meng father and daughter were negotiating with the gate guard who had been bribed in advance. It seems that the guard thought that the money that had been stuffed before was not enough, and wanted to cheat more money. The time when Meng's father and daughter left the city.
"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence!" Jin Qian looked at the three people pushing and shoving in front of the city gate, feeling very emotional.
Bai Yutang sneered, and quickly waved to the county magistrate and the arresters behind him.
In an instant, twenty torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the lights around the city gate.The county magistrate led a group of arresters to run out in line, and surrounded the Meng family tightly.
Under the scorching fire, the father and daughter of the Meng family hugged each other, their eyes were terrified, trembling like a frightened bird.
At this moment, Bai Yutang walked into the encirclement in a very gorgeous and charming way, with a sinister sneer on his gorgeous and handsome face: "Master Meng, Miss Meng, are you going out of the city in the middle of the night to visit relatives or—" Peach Blossom Eyes suddenly shot two cold lights, "Absconding in fear of crime?!"
Meng Huashu and Meng Qiulan stared straight at Bai Yutang with disbelief.
After a long time, Meng Qiulan slowly closed her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, my daughter has already said that, we can't escape!"
Master Meng seemed to be ten years older, with a slumped face, he shook his head and said, "That's all, that's all!"
As they said that, the two of them suddenly knelt down to the magistrate with a plop, kowtowed and shouted: "I beg Master Qingtian to be the master of our father and daughter!"
Eh? ! !
Jin Qian, who was hiding in the corner, staggered at his feet.
Bai Yutang in the middle of the crowd was also surprised.
However, what was even more astonishing was that the county magistrate actually asked in a serious manner, "Why are you two complaining about injustice?"
"It's him! It's this person!" Meng Qiulan pointed at Bai Yutang suddenly, her eyes were red, tears rolled down, and she shouted heart-piercingly, "This man covets the beauty of the women, and wants to take the women as his concubines. If you refuse to obey, he, he will rob the women of the people by force!!"
"The grass people had no choice but to run away overnight with their little girl. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, they still couldn't escape from the palm of this beast! Now, now, we can only ask Master Qingtian to be the master for us!" Meng Huashu snotted his nose. Tears add fuel and vinegar to the side.
Jin Qian's feet slipped again.
Wow, these two are so creative!
Looking at Bai Yutang again, his expression didn't move, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, his peachy eyes turned to the county magistrate, and his voice was slightly concentrated: "Master magistrate, don't you want to arrest this cheating father and daughter?!"
The county magistrate looked at Bai Yutang, nodded, and said:
"Come on!"
"Your subordinate is here!" All the arresters shouted together.
"Tie up this bully who robbed the women of the people!"
"Lang lang lang!!"
But when the shocking wind broke through the air, several wrist-thick iron chains were flung out fiercely with the howling wind, like a giant python wrapping Bai Yutang tightly.
The iron chains faintly glowed with a black and cold mysterious light, entangled on Bai Yutang's flawless snow clothes, shocking.
Depend on!What kind of divine unfolding is this? !
Jin Qian turned pale with shock and was completely dumbfounded.
"So, Brother Bai intends to go to the Meng Mansion tomorrow to ask the Meng family's father and daughter about their intention to get married?" Yan Chasan asked.
"That's right." Bai Yutang said seriously.
"Okay." Yan Cha nodded, thought for a while and said, "Yan speculates that after Brother Bai proposes marriage, the father and daughter of the Meng family will definitely do something. Brother Bai should be careful."
Everyone nodded with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Bai and Brother Ai will have to deal more with the Meng family's father and daughter in the next few days." Yan Chasan said, looking at Bai Yutang and Ai Hu.
"Don't worry, my lord!" Bai Yutang smiled lightly.
"Ai Hu will do his best!" Ai Hu was full of awe.
Yan Chasan nodded and said, "Yan has ordered the local county captain to be on call at any time, and act according to Yan's handwritten instructions." Then he turned to Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian, "I'm afraid Zhan's guards and soldiers will have to work hard these few days. Captain Jin, after the father and daughter of the Meng family succeed in borrowing money from Mr. Yun, the two of you need to closely monitor the whole of the Meng family day and night, so as to prevent the two of you from repeating their old plan and use Jin Chan to escape. When the father and daughter of the Meng family have a tendency to flee , report back immediately, then we can work together with the county police to capture him in one fell swoop!"
"Your subordinates obey!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists in response.
After the arrangements were made, there was a moment of silence in the house.At this time, everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It seems, a little too quiet...
It seems that there is someone who has not said a word from the beginning to the end...

Zhan Zhao felt his scalp go numb, took a step forward, and called softly, "Captain Jin?"
Unexpectedly, this soft call sounded like thunder to Jin Qian's ears, blasting Jin Qian to a height of more than three feet, and when he looked back and saw Zhan Zhao who was two steps away from him, his complexion suddenly changed. He was pale, and his feet seemed to be equipped with hot wheels, and he backed up a few steps, straight back to the door, staring at a certain guard with a knife in horror with his two round, thin red eyes.
That expression, that look, that movement, that reaction, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a frightened rabbit.
A dead silence.
Yan Chasan looked surprised, Ai Hu stared round his eyes, Yu Mo frowned slightly, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Zhan Zhao with a gloomy face, and sneered: "I said cat, you are a little What happened to Jinzi? Look, little Jinzi was frightened—”
Zhan Zhao's handsome face seemed to be brewing a ten-level storm, gloomy and penetrating.
"Subordinates, subordinates go back to rest first..." A certain sixth-rank school lieutenant at the center of the storm left an irresponsible ending and ran away.
The rest of the people in the room stared wide-eyed.
"Master Yan, this subordinate will leave first." Zhan Zhao pushed the door out with his stiff waist straight.
"This is really interesting." Bai Yutang stood up shaking his fan, "Looking at Xiao Jinzi's appearance, could it be that the stinky cat did something to scare Xiao Jinzi?"
"I think Brother Jin is a bold person, what can scare Brother Jin?" Ai Hu obviously has a kind of blind worship for Jin Qian.
"This..." Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, but he was speechless.
Yan Chasan stared at the direction Zhan and Jin left for a while, raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and murmured, "Brother Zhan, Brother Jin... Could it be... oh..."
Only Yu Mo looked at the various expressions of everyone in the room with a calm face, and continued to act as the background board with a calm face.

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the Furui Inn, with occasional wisps of weak candlelight coming out of the window, reflecting the bleak phoenix trees and falling autumn leaves.
Yan Chasan closed the file on the desk, closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eye sockets, got up and walked outside, took a deep breath, and felt the cool air seep into his chest and lungs, and his restless mood for several days suddenly calmed down point.
The rustling of fallen leaves underfoot made the night even more silent.
Suddenly, a faint sigh came from behind the tree.
Yan Chasan stopped and looked up.
The waning moon is pale, and the cold glow is like frost. She is dressed in blue and stands leaning against a tree. She is straight and thin and lonely. When the night wind suddenly blows, her black hair flutters in a mess, and she dances bleakly.
"Guard Zhan?" Yan Chasan's tone was a little uncertain.
The blue shadow seemed to wake up from a dream, trembled suddenly, turned around and clasped a fist at Yan Chasan: "Master Yan."
The tone was as steady as usual, as if the scene just now was just Yan Chasan's eyes dazzled.
Yan Chasan looked at the blue-clothed guard who was acting impartially as always, and said softly, "Guard Zhan will go to the Meng Mansion to guard in half an hour. He should rest in the house at this time. Why are you here—" Yan Chasan Cha San looked around, "Appreciate the waning moon and mourn the autumn wind?"
Zhan Zhao's expression froze: "Master Yan was joking, Zhan's responsibility is that the major fraud case has not been solved, and his subordinates have no intention of admiring the moon."
"The case will of course be solved, but health is still important..." Yan Chasan sighed again, "Seeing that brother Zhan has been unable to sleep at night these days, is there something on his mind?"
Zhan Zhao bowed his head and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty is worried, Zhan Zhao is terrified."
The words were very respectful, but it seemed that he had no intention of having a heart-to-heart talk with Yan Chasan.
Yan Chasan raised his forehead, and for the first time felt that Zhan Zhao's rigid and straightforward personality was a bit of a headache. After thinking about it, he had to start the topic by himself.
"In the past few days, Captain Jin seems to be..." Yan Chasan glanced at Zhan Zhao, observing Zhan Zhao's expression, "I was frightened..."
Zhan Zhao's expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of bitterness in his black eyes.
Yan Cha was relieved, rubbed his forehead, and said slowly: "Brother Zhan, Yan has been poor since he was a child, and he has to take care of his younger brother. He often doesn't know the taste of meat for months..."
Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Yan Chasan with a puzzled expression on his face. He obviously didn't understand why Mr. Yan changed the subject suddenly, and so abruptly?
Yan Chasan seemed to be unaware of it, and continued on his own: "A certain scholar Yan is not capable of hunting in the mountains, but Xiao Yi often clamors to eat meat. In desperation, Yan can only I thought of a way to trap wild rabbits."
Speaking of this, Yan Chasan suddenly showed a smile: "Brother Zhan, do you know what the method is?"
Zhan Zhao frowned, paused, and said, "Please make it clear, my lord."
Yan Chasan's smile was even stronger: "Yan is putting the leftover vegetables and radishes in the field as bait for the wild rabbits to eat. Every day, he will move the bait to Yan's home by one foot. After ten days, A few wild rabbits followed the bait into the courtyard cage unknowingly, and became something in Yan's pocket."
Zhan Zhao raised his head suddenly, a gleam of light flashed across his black eyes.
"Hares are born timid. If you catch them rashly, you will be frightened and flee. If you want to catch them again, it will be even more difficult. How about dispelling their vigilance with rich bait, slowly lure them into the cage, and then take care of them patiently , and when it cannot leave, the hare will become a docile domestic rabbit." Yan Chasan concluded with a faint smile.
The wind rustled through the gaps in the leaves.
Under the cold autumn moon, Zhan Zhao fixedly looked at Yan Chasan, his cold black eyes flickering.
Yan Chasan suddenly felt the cold wind blowing behind him, he couldn't help shivering, coughed lightly, and added: "When Yan, the doctor of Yulin Village, the immortal and poisonous sage, brought the letter to Kaifeng Mansion, he once clarified the identity of Lieutenant Jin. Tell Yan."
During the speech, when he bit the word "identity" heavily, he even winked at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao's expression suddenly brightened, he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Yan Chasan's all-seeing eyes, and two blush floated on his ears.
"Zhan... Thank you, brother Yan, for your suggestion."
Yan Chasan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled knowingly, turned and went back to the room.
Zhan Zhao asked again from behind: "Brother Yan, what happened to those captured hares?"
"Naturally—" Yan Chasan turned his head and smiled elegantly, "Eat it and wipe it off."
A pair of cat ears suddenly turned red and transparent.
-
In fact, just as Zhan Zhao and Yan Chasan expected, Jin Qian was indeed frightened.However, the reason for being frightened was that He Zhan and Yan's guesses were somewhat different.
That day, under the pink and ambiguous atmosphere, Zhan Zhao's performance was naturally a little uncontrollable, but a dull modern person with a reflection arc longer than the earth's equator did not notice Zhan Zhao's abnormality.
At that time, all of Jin Qian's attention was focused on the weird thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind.
The idea is—
I actually want to kiss Zhan Zhao! ! !
Amount drop a Jesus God!
What a frightening idea this is! !
What's even more frightening is that since then, every time Jin Qian saw Zhan Zhao looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, that inappropriate thought was like sparks on the grassland—a single spark can start a prairie fire!
Jin Qian was shocked, Jin Qian was shocked, and Jin Qian was depressed.
Helplessly, no one can tell about this broken state of mind. For Chatterbox Jin, this is really too hard!
Take a look at the few people around you who can choose to talk to——
Zhan Zhao—just kidding, how can such obscene and impure thoughts pollute a pure cat!
Bai Yutang—just kidding, this is Zhan Xiaomao's official partner, if he knows that such an obscene and impure thought suddenly occurred to him, he will definitely be chopped into eight petals and crushed to ashes!
Yan Chasan—it’s not that Jin Qian doesn’t trust Comrade Yan Shusheng’s IQ, but that Jin Qian always feels that Comrade Yan and Gongsun Zhuzi have the same effect and should not be close to—
Ai Hu—well, we don’t know each other very well...
Therefore, the glorious and arduous task of listening to Jinqian's grievances should fall on Comrade Yu Mo, who "will not talk too much, will not gossip, and is absolutely strict."
So, in the dead of night, on the roof of the uninhabited Meng Mansion hall, after three days and five hours of deliberation, Jin Qian decided not to hold it in any longer, otherwise he would definitely suffer from constipation, angina, liver cirrhosis...
"Cough, that Yu Mo, let me ask you something." Jin Qian, who was lying on the roof, looked at Yu Mo who was lying beside him, and asked hesitantly.
Yu Mo turned his head and stared at Jin Qian with his dark eyes motionless.
"That's, that..." Jin Qian scratched his head, "If there is a beauty, the kind of beauty who smiles all over the city and then laughs all over the country, strolls in front of you every day, and treats you very well, will you, will you?" Don't you have any abnormal thoughts about him?"
"Illegal, idea?" Yu Mo tilted his head.
"That, that, that..." Jin Qian wiped his sweat, "It's not very good, the kind that is not suitable for children..."
Yu Mo thought for a while, his dark eyes flashed: "Overwhelmed?"
Jin Qian's figure flickered and he almost fell off the roof.
"It's not that explosive!" Jin Qian gritted his teeth, "I just want to—" Slender Eyes looked around, lowered his voice, "Chirp."
"Oh." Yu Mo nodded, and moved his head closer to Jin Qian.
"Why?" Jin Qian wondered.
"Chirp." Yu Mo said flatly.
Jin Qian's figure flickered: "Hello!!"
Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian with a pair of big watery eyes, feeling a little inexplicably wronged: "My sister said that Yu Mo is a beauty, and Jin Qian wants to kiss a beauty, Yu Mo."
"..." Jin Qian suddenly had the urge to bump into tofu.
"I didn't kiss you..." Jin Qian whispered, twitching the veins on his forehead.
"Oh." Yu Mo looked a little lonely, and gave Jin Qian a pitiful look, "Then who are you kissing?"
"Uh!" Jin Qian froze, "We think, think... no, we just want to do a survey, do you understand the survey? For example, if you see a pleasing beauty every day, will you suddenly think about it one day?" want--"
Speaking of this, Jin Qian suddenly stopped.
Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian inexplicably.
But seeing Jinqian's thin eyes staring straight at the void, after a while, his eyelids slowly blinked twice, and after a while, his face gradually glowed with brilliance, and after a while, his narrow eyes curled up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and finally, he tapped Wa Ti, suddenly enlightened: "We know! This is the same as our idols in the modern nympho." Jin Qian's eyes lit up, and he began to whisper to himself happily, "I think back then, We are all salivating over the piles of three-dimensional Two-dimensional beauties, not only want to kiss, but even think—hehehe... so, so it is!"
Yu Mo watched Jin Qian's watery eyes slowly widen.
"So, we must have pure admiration for cats like idols!"
Yu Mo narrowed his eyes slowly.
"So, it's normal, it's normal!" Jin Qian said happily to himself, and kept nodding.
"Only when the heart moves can one be moved emotionally." Yu Mo suddenly said in a low voice.
Jin Qianzheng was very excited that he had found a reasonable explanation, obviously he didn't hear Yu Mo's almost inaudible "essence" comment.
Yu Mo turned his head, and threw out another sentence, "Stupid!"
"Ah, we've been worried for so many days, it's really unfounded!" Speaking of this, Jin Qian rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "This situation must have happened because we only saw one beauty all day long. This kind of illusion, um—so, we should look at other beauties more and broaden our horizons to be the right way!" Then, Jin Qian looked at Yu Mo again, "Yu Mo, do you think we should be more beautiful? Go to Huajie and Liuxiang to learn a lot..."
"Flower Street and Willow Alley?!"
The ice voice sounded very timely.
Jin Qian shook his head and turned his head slowly.
But seeing Zhan Zhao silently landed on the eaves behind him, looking down at him from a high position, the blue clothes are like pine, the sleeves of his clothes are billowing, and the crescent moon behind his back is like a hook, like the watery moonlight shining on Zhan Zhao's solemn and handsome face, his eyebrows are even more sword-like Flying temples, eyes like cold stars.
"Master Zhan..." Jin Qian shrank his neck.
Zhan Zhao's expression changed, and the cold air that was about to rise suddenly stopped.
"Lieutenant Jin, Yumo, you've worked hard on the defense." In the blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao has become that calm and capable fourth-rank guard with a knife.
"No hard work, no hard work!" Jin Qian showed a very affectionate smile towards Zhan Zhao, waved towards Zhan Zhao and said in a low voice, "Master Zhan, lie down here, stand here and the wind is strong, be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhan Zhao was dazed for a while by the bright smiling face that he hadn't seen for a long time, squatting beside Jin Qian in a daze, he couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Jin Qian, you—"
"Ah?" Jin Qian's slender eyes shone with pure light.
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes moved lightly, his expression gradually softened, and he smiled faintly: "That's all."
That smile is like a branch of red wintersweet in the white winter snow, like the only bright color in the cold world, Jin Qian saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart: Mr. Zhan laughed like this, it is really terrible!
Faced with such a beautiful woman, it would be abnormal if we have no idea at all!
So, we are normal, absolutely normal!
Yu Mo silently glanced at Jin Qian, then at Zhan Zhao, made a gesture that seemed to roll his eyes, and muttered, "Both, you're so stupid."
But this sound was covered by Ai Hu's voice rushing over.
"I can count on catching up—" Ai Hufei climbed onto the roof, panting and wiping sweat profusely on the side of several people and said, "Nan Xia's lightness kung fu has really reached the pinnacle like the rumors in the world, I, I can even run I'm about to lose my temper..."
"Brother Ai." Jin Qian clasped his fist at Ai Hu with a smile.
"Brother Jin." Ai Hu returned the gift, glanced at the quiet Meng mansion, and asked, "How is it?"
"It's still the same." Jin Qian spread his hands, "There is not even a shadow of a ghost..."
"Shut up." Zhan Zhao interrupted Jin Qian, his figure became short, and he stuck to the roof tiles, staring at the Meng Mansion with a serious expression.
Everyone looked serious, and immediately hid quietly.
Hearing a sound of "squeak--", the door of the side room in the backyard of the Meng Mansion was half opened, and the two sneaked out.
The night was dark, but with the moonlight, it was still not difficult for everyone to distinguish that one of them was an old man and the other was a young girl, they were Meng's father and daughter.
At this moment, both of them were carrying two huge burdens on their backs, looking at each step, and stalking with their front feet, apparently about to run away.
"Jin Qian, go and report to Lord Yan!" Zhan Zhao ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Jin Qian ran back to the inn to report to Ming Yan Chasan, Yan Chasan immediately asked Jin Qian and Bai Yutang to take their order to the county government office and kicked the sleeping magistrate out of bed.
As soon as the county magistrate saw the imperial envoy's letter, he knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately deployed a team of 20 policemen, and rushed to the gate of Guang'an Town with Jin and Bai.
When they arrived at the city gate, the Meng father and daughter were negotiating with the gate guard who had been bribed in advance. It seems that the guard thought that the money that had been stuffed before was not enough, and wanted to cheat more money. The time when Meng's father and daughter left the city.
"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence!" Jin Qian looked at the three people pushing and shoving in front of the city gate, feeling very emotional.
Bai Yutang sneered, and quickly waved to the county magistrate and the arresters behind him.
In an instant, twenty torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the lights around the city gate.The county magistrate led a group of arresters to run out in line, and surrounded the Meng family tightly.
Under the scorching fire, the father and daughter of the Meng family hugged each other, their eyes were terrified, trembling like a frightened bird.
At this moment, Bai Yutang walked into the encirclement in a very gorgeous and charming way, with a sinister sneer on his gorgeous and handsome face: "Master Meng, Miss Meng, are you going out of the city in the middle of the night to visit relatives or—" Peach Blossom Eyes suddenly shot two cold lights, "Absconding in fear of crime?!"
Meng Huashu and Meng Qiulan stared straight at Bai Yutang with disbelief.
After a long time, Meng Qiulan slowly closed her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, my daughter has already said that, we can't escape!"
Master Meng seemed to be ten years older, with a slumped face, he shook his head and said, "That's all, that's all!"
As they said that, the two of them suddenly knelt down to the magistrate with a plop, kowtowed and shouted: "I beg Master Qingtian to be the master of our father and daughter!"
Eh? ! !
Jin Qian, who was hiding in the corner, staggered at his feet.
Bai Yutang in the middle of the crowd was also surprised.
However, what was even more astonishing was that the county magistrate actually asked in a serious manner, "Why are you two complaining about injustice?"
"It's him! It's this person!" Meng Qiulan pointed at Bai Yutang suddenly, her eyes were red, tears rolled down, and she shouted heart-piercingly, "This man covets the beauty of the women, and wants to take the women as his concubines. If you refuse to obey, he, he will rob the women of the people by force!!"
"The grass people had no choice but to run away overnight with their little girl. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, they still couldn't escape from the palm of this beast! Now, now, we can only ask Master Qingtian to be the master for us!" Meng Huashu snotted his nose. Tears add fuel and vinegar to the side.
Jin Qian's feet slipped again.
Wow, these two are so creative!
Looking at Bai Yutang again, his expression didn't move, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, his peachy eyes turned to the county magistrate, and his voice was slightly concentrated: "Master magistrate, don't you want to arrest this cheating father and daughter?!"
The county magistrate looked at Bai Yutang, nodded, and said:
"Come on!"
"Your subordinate is here!" All the arresters shouted together.
"Tie up this bully who robbed the women of the people!"
"Lang lang lang!!"
But when the shocking wind broke through the air, several wrist-thick iron chains were flung out fiercely with the howling wind, like a giant python wrapping Bai Yutang tightly.
The iron chains faintly glowed with a black and cold mysterious light, entangled on Bai Yutang's flawless snow clothes, shocking.
Depend on!What kind of divine unfolding is this? !
Jin Qian turned pale with shock and was completely dumbfounded.
