Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes, looked at the Heli document in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Who is that person over there?"
Qin Lian suddenly said in shock.
Zhang looked up following her words and saw a strange man turning around and walking into the alley outside the alley on one side of the street.
The man's clothes are the most ordinary. Apart from his tall stature, there is nothing special about him.
Mrs. Zhang was confused and asked, "Miss Qin, who is that person?
"I don't know! Don't you recognize him? I saw that person when I came out of the Yamen. He kept standing there looking at you. At first I thought I was wrong."
"Look at me?" Ms. Zhang frowned.
"Don't you know him?" Qin Lian was surprised and looked over there a few more times. Seeing that the man had left, she muttered, "Did I see it wrong? I saw that man staring at you all the time. Who do you think he is?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong."
Zhang put He Li's documents away and said with a hint of sadness, "I have been in the Wu family these years and have very little contact with outsiders. No one should know me."
"That was before! Now you have made peace with them, and we will have nothing to do with them in the future!" Qin Lian said, "Mother Zhang, let's go back quickly. We must celebrate today's event!"
"……good."
Mrs. Zhang raised a smile with some difficulty and followed Qin Lian away.
After they left, the man hiding in the alley came out from the corner and stared at Zhang's back with deep eyes.
When the two of them were far away, he walked into the Yamen and went directly to the wing in the backyard.
When I entered the door, I saw several delicacies on the table. Xiao Yun, who was wearing official uniform, was eating happily. While eating, he commented, "How is this dish made? I have never eaten such a dish in the capital." , If I had known that Luoxi Town had such special dishes, I should have come here long ago."
Cheng Hu laughed beside him and said, "Haha, Mr. Xiao, you don't know, right? These are the signature dishes of Shopkeeper Su's Cyclamen, and they can't be found anywhere else. Of course, there was no such dish in Luoxi Town before. Mode."
"Shopkeeper Su just opened a restaurant in our town last month, and now it has become the most popular restaurant in the town."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yun was a little surprised. He looked at Chu Yan and asked, "Chu Yan, where did you find this lady to be in these dishes? I have never tasted these, let alone heard of them. .”
Hearing someone praising Su Liuye so much, Chu Yan had a smile on his face, "My wife came up with these."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and he became more interested in Su Liuye.
His biggest hobby is to taste delicious food. He has tasted all the famous dishes in the capital, even if he went to other places to eat on official business.
This was his first time to taste such a unique dish like cyclamen.
"Third Master, you are here."
Just as he was talking, Cheng Hu saw the person at the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Master Xiao just had something to do, let's discuss it here."
"Um."
Jiang Yu chose a seat and sat down, silent and not speaking. The centipede-like scar on his face was very conspicuous.
It's just that the three people present had met him before and didn't care much about it. They quickly started chatting about the bandits.
Yu Xiangqin not only abducted children and women, but also sold cigarettes privately. He colluded with many wealthy businessmen and officials and was undoubtedly a capital offender.
The bandits under her also knowingly committed the crime, and none of them could escape, but some of the others were indeed innocent. They had followed Jiang Yu out for a boat trip a long time ago. They didn't know what Yu Xiangqin did, and the government couldn't convict him at will.
After hearing what they said, Xiao Yun put down his chopsticks solemnly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Cheng Hu, you are a woodcutter from the nearby area. You only entered the mountain to become a bandit because of the famine in the mountains. After you entered the mountain, even though you were openly He was a bandit, but he followed Jiang Yu on business trips, and later helped Chu Yan to wipe out the bandits. You have made up for it, and I have no intention of holding you accountable."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
Hearing this, Cheng Hu excitedly clasped his fists in thanks.
His parents died when he was young, and he has been living a life of dependence on the mountain. It was difficult for him to grow up. If he had not been desperate, he would not have wanted to become a bandit in the mountains.
Fortunately, the first person he met after entering the mountain was Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu had stopped being a bandit at that time and took him on business trips with him.
By chance, he discovered that Yu Xiangqin was secretly selling cigarettes. This seriously violated the national law, and he would definitely be implicated if discovered. He was thinking about leaving here when he happened to meet Chu Yan and the others.
He is aware of current affairs, so naturally he will not miss this good opportunity to join him. What's more, Jiang Yu has already had plans to get rid of Yu Xiangqin.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hu glanced at the silent man beside him, and bravely asked Xiao Yun, "Master Xiao, I don't know about the third master..."
Xiao Yun frowned.
Although Jiang Yu had already started to break away from the bandit organization, he had been a bandit for a period of time after all, and he played a key role in the process of wiping out the bandits. If it weren't for Jiang Yu's help, they might not have been able to catch Yu Xiangqin so easily.
Xiao Yun was thinking, but Jiang Yu looked down at the copper coins in his hand, as if what happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Seeing the copper coins in his hand, Cheng Hu hesitated to speak, but realizing the atmosphere at the moment, he wisely chose to remain silent.
After a while, Xiao Yun finally spoke, "I can't decide on this matter at the moment. The suppression of bandits in Tieniushan Mountain has been reported to the court. There will be letters from the court in the future. We will see how to deal with it. Before that... ..." Xiao Yun paused, "Jiang Yu, you are staying in the prison of the Yamen. Although I know that what Yu Xiangqin did has nothing to do with you, you are the third boss of Tieniushan after all. If I release you , this matter has been found out by the court, and you and I can’t get rid of it.”
"I see."
Jiang Yu's tone was calm, he had already expected this result.
He put the copper coins in his hand close to his body and said to Chu Yan, "Mr. Chu, there is an incident where I want to get rid of you."
"you say."
"I would like you to help me take care of Zhang Niang during this period." When he said this name, his voice became hoarse, "And... don't tell her about me."
Chu Yan didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "I will."
"Excuse me."
Jiang Yu cupped his hands and thanked him, then left with the official.
Seeing this, Cheng Hu became a little anxious and begged for mercy, "Master Xingxiao, these things really have nothing to do with the third master's family! If it weren't for the third master's decision, several brothers and I would have starved to death long ago. This - "
Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, "Of course I understand what you are talking about, but Jiang Yu's identity means that I cannot handle him lightly."
