So after hearing Li Huanxi's words, Zhao Yanzhen did not think like Li Huanxi that Hong An was really a real gentleman.
On the contrary, when things go wrong, there must be monsters, and this person is the same.
He remembered that when he opened the Leiyang case files not long ago, he accidentally came across a case about the achievements of the previous county magistrate, that is, Magistrate Xu. Those mountain bandits carried out a great purge, although the evaluation of him was that he only purged the bandits to get closer to the Li family in Jieyang, and to increase his political capital through nepotism. Moreover, his characteristics in suppressing bandits are mostly to eliminate marginal cottages, as well as small and medium-sized cottages as his main targets.
Although this kind of record is often meant to eulogize the strong, but based on the behavior of the Xu Zhixian and his wife in Dashanzhai later, we can also know that the purpose of the Xu Zhixian may really be this.
It's just strange to say that the scale of Yunhu Village at the time was not large, at most small and medium-sized, and the village was not as hidden as it is now. However, this Xuzhi County magistrate had an interesting behavior.
He had eliminated almost all the surrounding cottages, but at that time he was left alone with the scourge of Yunhu Village.
When he saw this paragraph before, he had been thinking about why Xuzhi County kept such a copycat. And if he planned to cooperate with this copycat, it was clear that there was no information about the cooperation between Xuzhi County and Yunhu Village in this file. records.
He had never been able to figure out the reason before, but now that he saw Li Huanxi, he suddenly understood the key.
I am afraid that the real reason why Xu Zhixian did not dare to touch Yunhu Village, which was still weak at the time, was that Li Qianjin, who he needed to curry favor with but did not want to marry, was now in the village.
Letting Li Qianjin die at the hands of bandits, and then announcing that he would mourn Li Qianjin for three years, would undoubtedly maximize his interests.
And if the bandits in Yunhu Village knew who this Li Qianjin was, they would undoubtedly maximize their interests by keeping Li Qianjin.
After all, although the Li family in Jieyang was also a big family at that time, with many powerful people in the court, on the other hand, this family was also extremely protective of its shortcomings.
If someone kills their family, they may have to kill the whole family. From now on, the Jieyang Li family cannot take action on the local situation in Leiyang, but they can support the Xu family to rise to power, and then use the Xu family's help to clean up the bandits. It can be seen.
If there was no Li Huanxi in Yunhu Village at that time, they would have eradicated this scourge long ago.
Therefore, Li Huanxi actually protected this village invisibly, but it was a pity that she did not know all this.
She thought she had met a really good person.
However, Zhao Yanzhen was not prepared to tell her this.
After all, telling this to someone who has nothing and no value is actually a very cruel thing, so instead of telling her this now, it is better to bury it all in her heart.
Moreover, Hong Anzheng is now their informant, and he even arranged Leng Shisan next to this informant, so he has to find a way to know the informant's situation and bring him back.
So he just asked pleasantly, "What happened to your husband?"
After all, Li Huanxi knew more about Hong Anzheng's affairs. She then told Zhao Yanzhen everything that happened after Hong Anzheng returned from Heishui Village.
It turned out that after Hong Anzheng came back from Heishui Village, his whole personality changed drastically. After he came back, he went around to meet up with his former subordinates and friends, and spread the word that Chen Yanrong would bring them all to Yunhu Village into the ditch.
If more people talk about this, someone will naturally spread such words to Chen Yanrong's ears. Therefore, most people will be very cautious when doing this kind of thing. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it at the moment, the better. It's a pity that Hong Anzheng was not cautious enough. Not only did the words he said fall into the ears of Chen Yanrong, but Chen Yanrong didn't do anything to her, but he didn't know how to restrain himself. In the end, he was naturally accepted by Chen Yanrong, who only planned to kill him. As a warning to others, the people around him would also be executed. As for what happened in the prison that made Chen Yanrong change his mind, Li Huanxi didn't know.
When Zhao Yanzhen heard Chen Yanrong's words, he knew a little bit about what happened to Hong Anzheng, but he really didn't expect that the other party would be such a waste.
Yu said that their original plan was almost not achieved, and the other party's points were deducted.
This was somewhat beyond Zhao Yanzhen's plan.
He has not even achieved his goal of adding to the obstruction. If his teeth are no longer tight at the moment, he may have to expose his existence.
Zhao Yanzhen was not afraid of him exposing his existence. What he was really afraid of at the moment was that Chen Yanrong ran away as soon as she saw him.
Where can I find her at that time? Do I still want to keep this scourge and wait for it to reappear elsewhere?
The more I think about it, the more it seems possible.
Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but regret that he had brought Hong Anzheng into trouble.
But there was nothing I could do to regret it at this time. Zhao Yanzhen then thought of Leng Shisan and his master and apprentice, so he changed the question and asked Li Huanxi, "Then do you know where the two counselors who followed Hong Anzheng are now?"
When Zhao Yanzhen asked about the two counselors, Li Huanxi naturally knew about them. After all, Hong Anzheng took these two people with him after returning from Heishui Village, and after that, he kept these two people as slaves. As a distinguished guest.
However, because she was at odds with Liu Yu'er at the time, she stopped approaching these two people after Liu Yu'er deliberately approached them.
So all this time, she was the only one who was not very clear about what happened between the two people.
Liu Yu'er heard that this man could save Hong Anzheng, so she came here just to save Hong Anzheng. She immediately stood up and said, "I know these two people. Ever since Hong Anzheng's accident, then The young apprentice was arrested, but Mr. Leng is still there, he is busy rescuing the young apprentice, and he also promised that if he can, he will definitely help me rescue An Zheng."
After hearing Liu Yu'er's words, Hong Anzheng immediately and unconsciously cast his eyes on Liu Yu'er. He looked at Liu Yu'er with a very polite attitude, and then he took the initiative to ask.
"You don't have anything to do with Hong Anzheng, do you?"
What he asked was meaningful.
Li Huanxi shook his head at her unconsciously, but Liu Yuer answered very straightforwardly, "Yes, I do have a relationship with him, and I am also his wife!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only chuckled, "It turns out that both of you are the wives of my informant. This can be regarded as a coincidence."
Then Zhao Yanzhen only continued: "Don't worry, everyone, since he is my informant, I will naturally not leave them alone, but since you are his people, I naturally cannot leave you alone. For now, you will still follow me." Let’s go to the city together and wait for news about him.”
After saying this, he finally waved directly, and then he took all four people away.
So nothing has changed at all. The only thing that's better right now is that these four people are no longer bound by their hands and feet.
It's night, and the cicadas are still chirping noisily, even though the temperature has dropped throughout the day.
But in this narrow and cramped prison, the weather was still so hot, and the only place where you could feel a hint of coolness was the only small ventilation opening at the entrance of the prison.
The young man only propped his feet, pulling open the vent that could barely fit a head in, feeling the coolness of the summer outside.
While the young man was still hiding in the small opening, a jailer suddenly came over. He only knocked on the iron fence at the door and said, "It's so hot, so don't stay here." When others are ventilated."
Hearing the jailer's words, the young man was about to say that he wanted you to take care of him, but at that moment, he felt that the other person's voice was very familiar.
So he turned around immediately, and then he saw a familiar man looking at him quietly with a smile.
Although the other party was dressed in gray cloth clothes and was carrying a bucket of water and rice porridge, the young man obviously recognized the other party as his master Leng Shisan at a glance.
As soon as he was about to call out his master's name happily, the young man immediately motioned for the young man to be quiet.
When the young man heard this, he naturally did not dare to shout his master's name loudly.
Then Leng Shisan only said to the others, "It's time to make food! It's time to make food! You all hurry up and bring the bowls.":
At this time, the people imprisoned here had obviously been trained. Almost as soon as Leng Shisan said it was time to eat, they immediately took out their dirty dishes and chopsticks, and then placed them at the door of the cell. Their rice bowls were placed outside the wooden railing outside the door, and they were all waiting for Leng Shisan to bring them some water and rice porridge.
From the way they stared at Leng Shisan, he could see their desire for the food.
They stared intently at the bowls of rice porridge and filled their rice bowls. Looking at the full porridge bowls, they seemed to feel much better. At that moment, some people even just snatched the rice porridge from their hands. After passing by, seeing this group of people devouring food like tigers and wolves, the young man who didn't take out anything just stepped back as if he was a little disgusted.
He was waiting for Leng Shisan to give him some instructions, and he felt that Leng Shisan came here to save him this time.
However, he only waited until his master distributed rice porridge and a steamed bun to everyone in the same prison, and he did not wait for other arrangements from his master.
Because of this, he couldn't help but walked to his master.
However, when his master saw him, he just asked, "Would you like rice porridge? Bring a bowl!"
"I don't have a bowl!" The boy answered immediately.
If his master hadn't given him the color just now, he might not have called out his master's name on the spot.
However, his master was far more ruthless than he thought.
