Jiang Zhixian ran towards the kitchen. Because Jiang Zhixian did not have a residence in Xinyang, from the time he took office until now, he and Jiang Hong lived and ate in the county government office. Although Ding Xiaowu's home is in Xinyang City, the county government provides breakfast, so Ding Xiaowu always comes to the county government for breakfast in the early morning. Now, if both of them were poisoned, it must have been from the county government kitchen. Based on this, County Magistrate Jiang went to the kitchen of the county government office and asked if anyone suspicious had been there.
Just when Jiang Zhixian was about to reach the kitchen, a hurried voice called Jiang Zhixian. Jiang Zhixian looked back and saw Lao Zhang running towards Jiang Zhixian in a hurry. When Lao Zhang ran to Jiang Zhixian's side, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jiang Zhixian, there are two people outside the door asking to see you."
Jiang Zhixian was so anxious at this time that he had no time to take care of other things. He said, "Let them wait outside the door now." After saying that, he was about to walk into the kitchen.
Lao Zhang took Jiang Zhixian's arm and said, "Sir, you'd better go there. Those two people claim to be members of the Jiangsu Alliance. Judging from their clothes, they must be important figures in the Jiangsu Alliance."
"Swear Jiangmeng! If you don't come early, you won't come later, but you chose this time to come." Jiang Zhixian was a little helpless. He said to Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, go into the kitchen and ask the cooks if anyone suspicious came or anything suspicious happened when they were making breakfast yesterday."
Lao Zhang was a little confused and said, "Why do you ask?"
Jiang Zhixian said angrily: "Ask as you please!"
"Oh." Lao Zhang nodded and said.
County Magistrate Jiang walked towards the gate of the county government office, not forgetting to tidy up his official uniform as he walked. When I walked to the gate of the county government office, I saw two people standing outside the gate. Magistrate Jiang walked over.
When Hua Feng saw Magistrate Jiang approaching, he respectfully bowed his fists and said, "You must be the Magistrate of Xinyang County."
County Magistrate Jiang replied quickly: "Exactly, I am the magistrate of Xinyang County, Jiang Zhanzhong. Excuse me, who are you two?"
Hua Feng said: "I am Hua Feng from the Jiangzhimeng League. This is a disciple of the Jiangzhuangmeng, his name is Yuanhao." He pointed at Yuanhao and introduced him to Magistrate Jiang. Yuanhao also laughed at this and bowed to Jiang Zhixian with clasped fists.
Jiang Zhixian nodded to a distant hero, and Hua Feng said: "I have been entrusted here to help the magistrate and eliminate the bandits here."
Jiang Zhixian said hurriedly: "We will discuss this matter later. I am busy with official duties now. Let the Yamen take you two to the guest room first. After I finish my work, I will ask you two for advice and say goodbye." After saying this, Jiang Zhixian strode 's left.
Yuanhao asked: "Why is Mr. Jiang so eager to do things?"
Hua Feng shrugged and said: "It's okay to be in a hurry. It's better than being a flatterer who doesn't do anything serious. Let's go." Hua Feng put his hands behind his hands and led the way to the inner hall guest room. He happened to pass by Jiang Honghe, who arranged the house. Ding Xiaowu's room. The door of this room was ajar. When Hua Feng passed by, he casually glanced in and saw two people lying motionless on the two beds, and several others standing beside the beds. Hua Feng didn't pay attention and continued to follow the government servant who led the way. Yuanhao glanced inside curiously, then quickly followed Hua Feng and asked in a low voice: "Deputy leader, what are they doing inside?"
Hua Feng said calmly: "I don't know. Don't ask if we shouldn't ask."
Yuanhao replied "Oh".
After Hua Feng waited for the two of them to arrive in the room, the yamen servant left. The two put down their belongings, and Hua Feng said, "The two people in that room had their acupoints tapped and placed on the bed."
"Deputy leader, do you know?"
"You can tell at a glance. Otherwise, who would be lying on the bed doing that in broad daylight?"
"It can't be a statue or something?"
"No. I can feel the breath of those two. They are two big living people. If they are motionless, they must have been tapped."
"Deputy leader, you can feel their aura just by passing by?"
"Yuanhao, practice hard. When your skill reaches a certain level, you can open your 'mind's eyes'."
"Mind's eye? It's what others always say. You can feel the things and atmosphere of the outside world without using your eyes."
"Exactly. When your skill reaches a certain level, all your perceptions will become sharper, and you can feel even the slightest flow of breath around you. The stronger your skill, the farther and clearer you can feel it."
"No wonder the experts in the alliance can tell if there is anyone outside the house without even looking."
"But, the same thing. People with powerful skills and movement skills also know how to hide their aura. For example, the man in black we met this morning, I didn't notice that he was already around me."
"Yes. That body technique was extremely fast. I kept looking at you and the boy, but I didn't even see where the man in black suddenly appeared from."
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. I have been in the alliance for a long time, and it's time to come out and take a look."
"Yes. However, I followed you out this time, Deputy Alliance Leader, and gained a lot of knowledge. Deputy Alliance Leader, please take a rest and I will get you some water."
Hua Feng nodded and Yuanhao walked out of the room.
Magistrate Jiang returned to the kitchen. Lao Zhang had already questioned all the cooks in the kitchen, but all the cooks insisted that no suspicious person came to the kitchen yesterday, and the food was cooked as usual without any mistakes. Jiang Zhixian pursed his lips and sat aside in a dull mood. Now he had no solution. He sighed, waved his hand, and let the cooks do their own thing.
Jiang Zhixian stood up helplessly and walked out of the kitchen of the county government office. At this time, Yuanhao walked towards Jiang Zhixian carrying a bucket of water. Seeing this unfamiliar person, Jiang Zhixian picked up another bucket of water and asked, "Who are you? Are you new to the kitchen?"
Yuanhao looked at Jiang Zhixian in astonishment and said: "Jiangzhixian, I am Yuanhao from Jiangxi Alliance. We just met."
Jiang Zhixian patted his forehead and said with some embarrassment: "Ah, I remembered it. I'm sorry, I have been too busy these two days and my head is dizzy. What are you doing?"
Yuanhao said: "I fetched some water and came to the kitchen to boil some water to drink."
Jiang Zhixian hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, you came all the way, and I forgot to arrange for someone to serve you. I'm going to make arrangements now." After Jiang Zhixian finished speaking, he hurried over.
Yuanhao said: "It's okay, Magistrate Jiang. You are too polite, we don't need anyone to serve you." But Magistrate Jiang had already walked over, Yuanhao curled his lips and muttered: "Is the magistrate so busy?" Then He picked up the water and went into the kitchen to boil it.
Jiang Zhixian found the chief clerk of the yamen and said: "Today Jianghu League has arranged for two people from the Jianghu to help us suppress bandits. You can arrange a handyman to serve them in their daily life."
The chief clerk said: "Okay, Lord Magistrate. I will arrange for Lao Yang to come over later."
Jiang Zhixian nodded and returned to the room where Jiang Hong and Ding Xiaowu were. In the room, Guo Renjie and Qian Fei were discussing something. When they saw Jiang Zhixian coming back, they immediately shut up. Guo Renjie greeted Jiang Zhixian, "Jiang Zhixian, do you have any clues?"
Jiang Zhixian shook his head and said, "Nothing was found."
Looking at Jiang Zhixian's disappointed expression, Guo Renjie said: "Then I'd like to trouble you, sir, to check again. Otherwise, I'll take my leave today."
Jiang Zhixian clasped his fists and said, "Today I have Gang Leader Lao Guo."
"Oh, I can't help much either."
"Gang Leader Guo has already helped me by coming here today. Thank you very much."
"The county magistrate is serious. I have one more thing. Qian Yuanwai borrowed two people from me. Later I learned that Qian Yuanwai asked them to ambush the robbers in the county government office. But I heard that these two people Not only did I fail to help, but I accidentally injured Mr. Jiang, so I really feel sorry for him. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the two of them." Guo Renjie cupped his fists and bowed, then gave Qian Fei a wink. .
Qian Bufei took out a small, bulging package from his sleeve, secretly handed it to Jiang Zhixian, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, this is a trivial matter, not a sign of respect."
County Magistrate Jiang knew it was silver without even looking at it, and said, "Mr. Qian is really generous with his wealth."
Qian Fufei said: "Oh, didn't I accidentally injure Jiang Captou yesterday? Just treat it as medical expenses."
Jiang Zhixian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Qian." Then he said to the officer at the door: "Ask Lao Chen to take Gang Leader Guo and Mr. Qian to our prison and release the two people who were imprisoned yesterday." That's it." The officer took the order.
"Jiang Zhixian, don't worry, I will strictly discipline those two people when I go back." Guo Renjie promised.
Jiang Zhixian waved his hand, indicating that they could leave. Guo Renjie and Qian Bufei followed the yamen servant and left together.
After the others left, Jiang Zhixian was left alone in the room. Jiang Zhixian threw the small bag of silver in his hand on the table and walked to Jiang Hong's side, showing a worried expression. Jiang Zhixian sighed. He was Jiang Hong's uncle and had watched Jiang Hong grow up. This time I was appointed to come to Xinyang County and wanted him to come out and practice, so I took Jiang Hong with me. But I never imagined that it would be like this. Just when Jiang Zhixian was melancholy, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Zhixian looked out the door with tired eyes.
"Hello, Magistrate Jiang." The person coming was none other than Hua Feng.
Jiang Zhixian had some impression of Hua Feng. He looked at Hua Feng outside the door and said, "It's not the one who swore Jiangmeng... That..." Jiang Zhixian couldn't remember the other party's name for a while.
Hua Feng said: "I am Hua Feng from the Oath Jiang Alliance."
Jiang Zhixian heard Hua Feng's name. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Hua Feng with wide eyes and a surprised expression, "Hua Feng! The deputy leader of the Oath Jiang Alliance, Hua Feng!"
"Exactly down there."
Magistrate Jiang quickly walked up to Hua Feng and said in an apologetic tone: "Deputy Leader Hua, I'm sorry. Because something happened yesterday, I have been busy until now, and I have neglected you."
Hua Feng said: "It doesn't matter. I came here just to ask Magistrate Jiang when we will handle the matter of suppressing bandits."
Jiang Zhixian sighed and said: "Well, yesterday, two bandits, maybe three, entered the county government office and caused a lot of trouble. If it weren't for them, how could it be like this?"
"Oh? Magistrate Jiang, please come and listen."
Jiang Zhixian told Hua Feng everything about yesterday. Hua Feng nodded, looked at the two people lying on the bed respectively, and said, "These are the two people who had their acupuncture points tapped, right?"
Jiang Zhixian said with some sadness: "Yes. I just asked the local Yiyang Gang leader to come to check. He said that not only were the acupoints tapped on these two people, but they were also poisoned, so the acupoints have never been opened."
Hua Feng walked to Jiang Hong's bedside. After checking, he knew in his mind which acupuncture point was tapped, then he stretched out his finger and tapped Jiang Hong's waist twice like Guo Renjie did.
"Ah~" Jiang Hong exclaimed with relief, then lay on the bed with all four limbs limp and panting. Upon seeing this, Magistrate Jiang came over quickly. Seeing Jiang Hong lying on the bed with a relaxed look on his face, Zhixian Jiang asked with concern: "A Hong, are you okay?"
Jiang Hong said faintly: "Uncle, I'm fine. It's just that my whole body is a little sore." After all, according to time, he has been motionless for almost a day and a night, and it is normal for his whole body to be sore. Jiang Hong said to Hua Feng, "Thank you, sir." Hua Feng nodded and walked to Ding Xiaowu's bed. He just stretched out his fingers and was about to relieve Ding Xiaowu's acupuncture points. Ding Xiaowu, like Jiang Hong, screamed with relief, his limbs went limp, and he lay on the bed panting with a relaxed look on his face.
Magistrate Jiang said: "Thank you, Deputy Leader Hua, for helping these two people to relieve their acupoints."
Hua Feng was a little confused and said: "It was indeed me who opened Jiang Baotou's acupuncture point just now. But I haven't taken action on Yamen Ding yet."
