Only when Ajie came to Beitian Alms Home did he know why the young county magistrate who was traveling in regular clothes in the dark alley behind Yunshui Pavilion suggested that he come here that day.
Looking around, the hospital is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, many of whom are missing arms or legs.
However, it can be seen that the houses where they are accommodated are sufficient, and the monks in the hospital may have neglected their duties, and some patients who were not in good spirits did not look after them.
For example, he saw a dirty patient lying on the ground, chewing bamboo by a dry well in the bamboo forest not far away.
But apart from these, looking at the other disabled people, old and young, they looked pretty useless and showed no fear of the monks around them.
Ajie, who grew up in the Chang'an market and was originally a beggar, has seen too many examples.
His right hand was amputated by an old beggar when he was a child, so that he could be sold in front of nobles and beg for money.
Most of my beggar companions when they were young were mutilated, deaf and mute.
So for this Beitian nursing home that houses the disabled, old and young.
In the end, is it to fool the county magistrate who has done a great job, or is it really a matter of keeping warm clothes and food, and doing it in a down-to-earth manner.
Ajie can tell the underlying color at a glance.
So... Liu's servant, who had returned from inquiring about the news, was reporting to the Jade Princess Fairy.
He looked a little lost.
Silently looking at a little boy not far away who also had a broken arm.
There was not much sadness on this poor little boy's face. Together with a runny-nosed little girl who was suspected of being deaf and mute, the two children, both wearing pigtails, squatted in the corner and played a game of counting stones. They were carefree.
The Jade Fairy seemed to be aware of Ajie's absent-mindedness and did not ask for his opinion.
The Jade Fairy continued to ask the strong and capable Liu family servant in front of her:
"You said that Ouyang Lianghan and Xie's daughter did not come here immediately, but ran to the east hall? What are they doing?"
She frowned slightly. Could it be that the county magistrate's schedule obtained by the Liu family was wrong and another one was arranged? Then Ouyang Lianghan's thoughts are too meticulous and scary.
"Fairy Fairy, they seem to be going to the Zaozhaiyuan for dinner. When the younger one comes back, he will send someone to follow him. There should be news later."
"Okay, but be careful not to get too close. Xie Lingjiang is very alert, so don't scare the snake."
"I understand, Fairy, but there are many pilgrims asking for fortune-telling in the temple today, so it's not easy to be discovered among the crowd."
"Anyway, it's better to be careful. The fish hasn't caught the net yet, so it's not the time to be careless. You also know how risky what we are doing is."
"yes."
The Jade Immortal nodded slightly and dismissed her subordinates.
She frowned, thoughtfully.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
After a while, the Jade Fairy turned to ask Ajie. The latter held the sword in one hand and looked away from the back of the child in the corner of the yard in the distance.
He didn't answer.
The Jade Fairy suddenly sneered and glanced at the disabled old and young people in the courtyard:
"It's just an inspection by the county magistrate and a show by the monks. You must be soft-hearted, right?"
Ajie looked indifferent and said: "I am a swordsman."
"You better be."
The Jade Fairy snorted coldly, then asked:
"The situation is good or bad now, but Xie Lingjiang still followed and stayed with Ouyang Lianghan. They should be here soon.
"Let's finalize what to do with Xie Lingjiang?
"Should we take action to restrain her and only behead Ouyang Lianghan, or should we kill her as well?"
Ajie finally spoke, but shook her head indifferently:
"I won't kill Xie's daughter, although it is not difficult.
“There are no people with simple backgrounds like these scholars who have been promoted very quickly in the Confucian sect at a young age.
"Once you make a move, it will leave some traces no matter what. If the Yin Yang family's gas watchers see it and trace it to the source, don't even think about running away.
"And it's hard to say that she also has a protective telepathic object given to her by the Confucian elders who value her. Once she dies, the trouble she will cause is unknown."
"It's really troublesome."
The Jade Princess Fairy frowned, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Then how about you restrain Xie's daughter at that time?"
"Can."
Ajie nodded and said leisurely:
“You have to pay more.
"The deal between the young master and Liu Ziwen is Ouyang Lianghan's life. In exchange for this sword, you have to pay more for the others."
The Jade Fairy's face suddenly turned ugly, and she said impatiently:
"Then you just need to restrain Xie Lingjiang, and Ouyang Lianghan will come and kill him."
Ajie glanced at the black-robed priestess in front of her, held her sword and tilted her head:
"This is different from the agreement between the young master and Liu Ziwen. Besides...are you trying to steal the reward from the young master?"
"..."
If it weren't for the crimson aura faintly emanating from the one-armed young man's body, it would be very eye-catching in the eyes of the Jade Demon Fairy, and it could very well encourage people to be calm and kind.
Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, the Jade Immortal would have slapped him away and broken his neck bone.
However, the skirmish in the Nanxuan courtyard at dawn made the Jade Fairy feel at ease with Ajie's sword.
The 'Yue Niang' in the arms of the one-armed young man was cast by an old swordsmith, and according to the swordsmith, it seemed to be a slight tribute to a certain sword made by the Taoist masters on the west bank of Butterfly Creek. The mythical element of the tripod sword.
It can instantly bloom the moonlight sword energy and blind the entire audience. Coupled with Ajie's already extremely fast sword-drawing speed, with the blessing of the moonlight sword energy, it is even more powerful.
The Jade Lady Fairy thought, as long as Ouyang Lianghan dared to walk into this Beitian Nursing Home and appear ten feet away from Ajie, even if Xie Ling Jiang was by his side, he would probably land on someone else's head. After the blinding moonlight dissipated, Xie Lingjiang was able to react.
The young man with a broken arm in front of her looked awkward, but his sword was so fast, unreasonably fast.
Looking around, except for the eldest lady from Yunmeng Jianze next door, who can dare to restrain her?
But the question now is, after beheading Ouyang Rong, how to deal with the remaining Xie Lingjiang?
If Ajie didn't help, if Xie Lingjiang was indeed promoted to the seventh level, the Jade Fairy would probably be chased and killed by her with red eyes and blood rage.
And even if Xie Lingjiang was frightened by the thunderous methods of the one-armed swordsman on the field, and at the same time did not have much affection for Ouyang Lianghan, and chose to run away directly, if Ajie did not do her best to stop it, the Jade Fairy would also Can't catch up with her.
Once Xie Lingjiang runs away, the Liu family's ribbon-cutting ceremony plan will be at risk of being exposed.
If Xie Ling Jiang Yi interferes with the situation, not to mention killing someone with a borrowed knife and killing two birds with one stone, it is estimated that even the first step of stealing a beam and replacing a pillar will be suspended.
Moreover, the Jade Princess Fairy could see now that this guy named Ajie didn't seem to be that cooperative with the Liu family, and just wanted to simply pay for the murder and leave if the person dies.
Therefore, he would probably throw up his sleeves and walk away after killing Ouyang Lianghan, leaving the mess that still contained Xie Lingjiang to her and the Liu family, and he could feel at ease and run away with his sword.
The Jade Fairy clenched her teeth, feeling that this possibility was not small at all, especially given Ajie's indifferent attitude.
I still have to take action.
She took a deep breath and nodded:
"Okay, I know this. You follow my arrangements. Ouyang Lianghan... will be killed for you."
At this moment, another slave of the Liu family who had gone out to follow them came back and respectfully reported that Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang seemed to have gone to the direction of the main hall to burn incense and ask for fortune-telling after eating their meal in the Zaozhai Courtyard.
"What does Ouyang Lianghan want to do? Burn incense and worship Buddha?"
The Jade Fairy was speechless. She lowered her head and thought for a moment. She suddenly stood up and said:
"I'll go out and have a look. You wait here...if Ouyang Lianghan comes in, behead him with your sword. Don't hesitate and don't forget the reward you got."
"You're not going to hide and leave Xie's daughter to me, are you?" Ajie said with a smile.
"I don't care about the overall situation like someone else."
"The price is not enough, you still want me to consider the overall situation?"
"snort."
The Jade Fairy waved her sleeves and led the people away, leaving only the one-armed young man behind.
Beitian Alms Home, next to an open-air stone table in the hospital.
Ajie held her sword and closed her eyes, sitting quietly among a group of disabled old and young people.
With a broken arm, he was inconspicuous among the suffering crowd.
Quietly waiting for the arrival of the young man who met once in the dark alley that day.
Here we go, two updates~
