Chapter 240: Casting Stone to Ask for Directions
There is a mountain embroidered on the cuff.
Dong Qingcheng glanced at Jiang Ran and whispered,
"It's the Chongshan Sect."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Among the seven sects, apart from the Fierce Sword Sect, only the Chongshan Sect had some connection with him.
Cheng Tianyang's martial arts came from the Chongshan Sect.
It is said that he almost became a big shot in the Chongshan Sect.
It was just that he didn't like to be restrained by nature, so he left the Chongshan sect and founded the Tianyang Escort Bureau, and then flexed his muscles to become the No. 1 Escort Agency of Jinchan.
Of course, the chief escort of the first escort agency has always been in disgrace the last few times we have met.
But considering that the opponent was Zuo Daozhuang, it was normal for him to do calculations mentally and unintentionally.
With his thoughts at this point, he asked the second brother again:
"Do you know what they went to do?"
"I don't know."
The second brother led Jiang Ran and others to the yard and casually replied:
"But They looked like they were angry, maybe they were looking for bad luck with the Wang family.
"It's just that the Wang family seemed peaceful during the day, and I didn't hear of anyone dying... It's a bit confusing. "
The Wang family? "
Dong Qingcheng asked:
"Who is this Wang family? " "
Hahaha, you guys are really from out of town, right?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could we not know about the Wang family? "
"To be honest, I have been here a few years ago. "
Dong Qingcheng smiled and said,
"I even stayed in your inn. "
"It turns out he is a regular customer. " "
The waiter immediately laughed again:
"But if you don't know the Wang family, it means that you came here at least three years ago.
"The Wang family... it only took three years to come to our county."
"Three years."
Jiang Ran chewed these two words silently in his heart, and then said,
"It took three years to accomplish this. Is he famous far and wide?"
"Why don't you say that he is great?"
The waiter in the shop had nothing to do and liked to chat. Seeing Jiang Ran and the others were interested, he said,
"Wang Yuanwai is very capable and does big business. When he first came here, he moved into the current 'Wang's House' with boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
"At that time, there were many shopkeepers in the county who didn't like him and wanted to run him away.
"In the end, within a few months, everyone was convinced and elected him to become the president of the merchant alliance, and he completely established a firm foothold.
"In the past three years, he has made an outsider the first family in Guzhang.
"It turns out that he is indeed not an ordinary person. " Dong Qingcheng nodded: "
It's just that the Wang family is so powerful, why did those guests conflict with them?"
"Hey, how can I put it... A real man will inevitably have an unvirtuous wife and an unfilial son. "
"This king is very powerful. He has built a huge family business and accumulated strong financial resources.
"However, he cannot withstand the disaster of prodigal children. "
When the waiter said this, his face was filled with sorrow and sorrow. He only regretted that he was not named Wang and could not become a descendant of the Wang family:
"The family outside Wang's family is nothing but a young man. There is only one young master.
"It is said that he has been pampered since he was a child. When he arrived in Guzhang County, he stayed on his own in the first year. That was when Wang Yuanwai established a firm foothold.
"In the second year, his true colors began to show.
"Every day, I take a few martial arts masters who have been hired by the king for a lot of money to eat, drink and have fun everywhere.
"When I see a beautiful girl, I have to take it back to be my concubine, regardless of whether she is willing or not.
"Fortunately, Mr. Wang has a rich family. Every time something like this happens, he punishes his son severely in front of everyone.
"Then he pays the money if he should pay, and apologizes if he should apologize.
"In the end, I married the person back with great grace.
"That's it...we got married seven or eight times in total.
"This young master of the Wang family is less than twenty this year, and he has eight concubines alone!
" If you say it to others, you will tell it as a joke, but in private, no one is allowed to say that after a hundred years from this king's appearance, The Wang family's wealth is not enough to compensate this young master...
"Oh, it's too far, it's too far."
The waiter said this in one breath, without even slapping anyone. It can be seen that he said these words frequently on weekdays, and he was very familiar with it. , bald from the mouth.
Only later did he realize that his answer was wrong, and he quickly said:
"As for the conflict with the Wang family, wasn't it because this young master Wang raped women on the street again?
"To tell you the truth, this matter Although it sounds unpleasant to say it, although there is an iron mine in our county, it is owned by the government and has nothing to do with us ordinary people, so there are many poor people.
"If there are many children in the family, the daughter's family will not be taken seriously.
"If she is robbed by the young master of the Wang family, Mr. Wang will be generous. A daughter can lose hundreds of taels of silver, plus the betrothal gift, tsk tsk, talking about food, clothing and clothing. It is impossible to live a lifetime.
"But it's like thunder, suddenly rich!"
Ye Jingxue and Tang Huayi were very dissatisfied when they heard this.
Tang Huayi said with a cold face:
"Isn't this selling a daughter for glory?"
"That's true, but do you think that if your daughter enters the Wang family, can she be treated badly?
"It's always delicious and delicious. It’s indispensable. Who wouldn’t you spend your whole life with? "
The waiter smiled and said:
"That's why many people don't say anything, but in their hearts they are looking forward to being robbed.
"We all watch it for fun on weekdays.
"Anyway, as long as you don't steal your own wife, who cares about their bad things?
"But we know that guests from out of town don't know.
"When you see this posture, how can you be willing?
"Dang even started a fight with the Wang family.
"In this fight, it was the Wang family's superior skills, and the guests suffered a loss.
"And after such a disturbance, Mr. Wang lost his interest and stopped robbing the girl.
"In the end, the girl was not happy, and several guest officials came to the rescue and almost died without being blamed.
"Do you think it's funny or not?"
One of them was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to suffer, but the others were busy in vain. Jiang Ran felt that this was indeed a bit funny.
But I couldn't laugh.
After looking at each other, Dong Qingcheng and the others fell silent.
The waiter in the shop had actually settled them down a long time ago. He was just chatting in a comfortable place and was unwilling to leave. He just stood in the cold wind and chatted until now.
At this time, Jiang Ran and the others stopped talking. Although they still had some unfinished thoughts, they also stopped talking.
Let the guest officer do what he wants. Just call him if you need anything.
After saying that, he resigned.
After the waiter left, Dong Qingcheng glanced at Jiang Ran and said,
"Master Jiang, something is wrong with the Wang family."
"Come into the house and talk."
Jiang Ran led Dong Qingcheng and the others into the house.
Originally, the junior brothers and sisters from the Fierce Sword Sect were also going to follow, but Dong Qingcheng waved them away and asked them to choose their own rooms without disturbing them.
In the end, he only led Hu Nan through the door.
After waiting for a few people to sit down, Dong Qingcheng said:
"The Chongshan Sect is one of the seven sects. It inherits extremely powerful skills. How can it not be the opponent of a few scattered people in the world?"
Tang Huayi snorted:
"What's this? I'm here. There is no sect and no sect. Brother Dong, do you want to give me some advice?"
"..."
Dong Qingcheng waved his hands quickly:
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that something seems a little strange.
"I heard from the waiter in this shop that someone from the Chongshan sect is here. After this, he was quite at ease.
"Except for the conflict with the Wang family, there were no other twists and turns.
"They went out last night and have not returned yet this evening...
"The Wang residence is peaceful. I'm worried... If there is a problem with the Wang family, Chongshan These comrades from the sect may be in danger!"
"It's not yet certain that they are disciples of the Chongshan sect, and it's also not certain that they actually went to Wang's house."
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said,
"But in the future Just in case, you really need to prepare early.
"Well, Tianyu, you go over and ask for news.
"Explore this Wang's house again...remember not to go in.
"If there is really a problem with the Wang family, you may not be able to get out.
"Besides, the Wang family is powerful. There may be some spies in Guzhang County. When you ask about things, you have to remember to be cautious and cautious." "Yes."
Li
Tianyu agreed, and then put his bow and arrow I put it in the room and went out.
Carrying a bow and arrow was too conspicuous. Since he wanted to remain calm, of course he couldn't make such a big show of it.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran gave Ke Beisheng a few words and asked him to follow and protect Li Tianyu's safety.
Ke Beisheng also agreed and hurriedly followed Li Tianyu.
The reason why Li Tianyu was allowed to go was not to let Ke Beisheng go.
It was because the day after Ke Beisheng followed Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran bought him a mask to wear so as not to expose his face.
The scars on his face were hideous and easily frightened, and Jiang Ran had other plans for him.
Otherwise, this person may not be accepted.
After the two people left, Jiang Ran said to Dong Qingcheng:
"Don't be anxious. It has been a day and a night since the incident happened.
"If there is really any problem, I'm afraid that even if you come to the door now, it will already be there. That's too late.
"Wait until Tian Yu comes back, then we'll make some calculations."
"Okay."
Dong Qingcheng nodded and said,
"Then I also want my junior brothers and sisters to go out and explore?"
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this and said,
"This There is no need to... just ask for directions, Tianyu alone is enough."
Dong Qingcheng glanced at Jiang Ran, nodded thoughtfully, and stood up to leave.
Ye Jingxue suddenly frowned. She didn't know what she thought of, and went out without saying goodbye to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran noticed something strange about her and was a little surprised:
"What's wrong?"
"I must think you are gloomy and not a good match."
Tang Huayi sat next to Jiang Ran and hummed:
"She considered Her sister is simple-minded. You are so smart and gloomy. You won't even know that your sister was bullied later. She must be unwilling to marry her sister to you." "..." Jiang Ran felt that these words were similar to
Ke Beisheng's martial arts . The same confusion:
"Only parents marry their daughters. How can a younger sister marry an older sister? She has nothing to do with it." "
You really want to marry?"
Tang Huayi glared: "I know what you and Ye Jingshuang look like. To express love, kiss me and mine, we are still living in the same room, it must be unclear. Before she left, she even exchanged love tokens with you!" "
There was no exchange."
Jiang Ran said smoothly: "Yes. The thoughts she sent me."
"Brother-in-law!"
Tang Huayi stared at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran blinked:
"What's wrong?"
"You can't be that ungrateful person!!"
"Huh?"
Jiang Ran looked confused, but Tang Huayi had already snorted, turned around and left.
"Being unlucky?"
Jiang Ran rubbed his face, and suddenly felt that with such a face, there seemed to be a chance of being unlucky.
But, are you that kind of person?
And what is Tang Huayi's position when he said such a thing?
The most important thing is...
Jiang Ran sat at the table, thinking of Ye Jingshuang, and there was indeed a bit of tenderness deep in his heart:
"I don't know, how is she now?"
...
...
Ye Jingshuang The news of Shuang is beyond reach, how can we know it in such a short time?
But the news about Li Tianyu came back quickly.
"Brother, we found it.
" "Guzhang County is quite remote and deserted. There are not many pedestrians on the streets at night."
"I heard from a watchman who was on duty that I did see a group of people wearing the same clothes heading towards the Wang family last night. "
But what happened next, the watchman didn't know.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and then said,
"Go and invite Dong Qingcheng. " "
Okay." "
Li Tianyu turned around and went out.
Dong Qingcheng's room is on the other side of the courtyard and can be reached through the courtyard.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped walking. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, he felt that there was someone else beside him.
It was like a sudden inspiration came to me for no apparent reason.
His heart tightened, and he was about to retreat when he heard Jiang Ran's voice:
"It's me, don't panic."
"Brother?"
Li Tianyu was stunned.
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"I'll go with you to find Dong Qingcheng."
"Okay."
Although Li Tianyu felt that Jiang Ran's move was a bit inexplicable, he still nodded and said,
"But just now..."
He didn't say anything . After that, Jiang Ran grabbed his wrist and walked towards Dong Qingcheng's room:
"We'll talk about it after we find Brother Dong."
"..."
Li Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:
"I know."
The two of them were like this. They came to Dong Qingcheng's room hand in hand.
Dong Qingcheng was sitting there reading a book. When he saw the two people entering the door without knocking, he was a little confused for a moment.
Before they knew what they were going to do, Jiang Ran had already closed the door.
For a moment, everyone was talking about Jiang Hu:
"Jiang Daxia, Li Erxia, what are you..."
Li Tianyu's superficial identity is Li Tianxin's younger brother, and Xing Er is naturally Li Erxia.
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"Brother Dong, there is news. Come with me."
"Where?"
"Visit the Wang family."
Jiang Ran said softly,
"Let's go find out the news."
Dong Qingcheng looked at Jiang Ran glanced at it and thought slightly:
"Isn't it a bit rash?"
"Just right."
"Then let's go."
Dong Qingcheng was trying to suppress his irritability. Although the seven sects are not as connected as the Five Swords, they belong to different groups. People from the same lineage of righteousness have friendship with each other.
If something goes wrong with the Chongshan Sect, they cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
But waiting for the news was still painful, so I found a book to calm my mind and suppress the internal chaos in my body.
Now that Jiang Ran had made a decision, there was nothing to hesitate.
After tidying up, he stood up and followed Jiang Ran.
When I went out, I saw Ye Jingxue and Tang Huayi gathered together and muttering together at some unknown time.
Seeing Jiang Ran and others, they were also stunned:
"Why are you going?"
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ran asked without answering.
"There is a mouse. We are discussing whether to catch it."
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"Don't pay attention to these little things for now. Business is important. Come with me and visit the Wang family." "
Okay."
Tang Huayi and Ye Jingxue looked at each other and nodded.
Then Jiang Ran arranged the personnel allocation.
The ones who went to Wang's house were him, Dong Qingcheng, Ye Jingxue, Tang Huayi and... Ke Beisheng.
Tian Miaomiao and Li Tianyu were arranged by him to stay at the inn, waiting for orders at any time.
The other disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect also stayed here.
After leaving the inn, the group walked towards the Wang family.
Halfway through the journey, before reaching the Wang residence, Dong Qingcheng suddenly discovered:
"What about Ke Beisheng? Didn't he come out together?"
"He went to catch mice."
Tang Huayi said with a smile: "After all, we can't let the mice get too arrogant."
" ..."
Dong Qingcheng glanced at Jiang Ran:
"I see, what about the Wang's house?"
"I still have to go there."
Jiang Ran said softly:
"I always feel that something is wrong with the Wang family. Brother Dong, don't worry. If you want to say our names, just say... we are friends in the world."
Dong Qingcheng smiled and said:
"Then just listen to the instructions of Daxia Jiang."
The group of people talked as they walked, and after a few casual discussions, they settled on the plan. Arriving at the door of Wang's house.
There were guards on the left and right in front of the door. When Jiang Ran and his party arrived, they felt that they were not ordinary people.
One of them muttered in a low voice:
"Could it be that the young master robbed someone's girl and someone came to visit him again?"
The other one wanted to continue talking, but Jiang Ran and his group had already arrived.
Dong Qingcheng clasped his fists slightly:
"You two little brothers, please inform me that Dong Qingcheng of the Fierce Sword Sect and his friends are visiting Wang Yuanwai." "The
Fierce Sword Sect?"
A nurse muttered a few words in confusion and asked the people around him:
"Why does it sound familiar... I think I've heard it somewhere?"
"The storyteller said it in the teahouse."
Another nurse looked at them and muttered:
"The young master is getting more and more powerful now, the Fierce Sword Sect's People dare to rob... I'm afraid I have to run away this time, this is not a problem that can be solved with money." As
he said this, he mumbled into the door, turned his back to the wall, and ran away.
The footsteps could be heard clearly outside.
The guard who stayed behind laughed dryly and said:
"My brother is just a bit careless, please forgive me.
" "Well, how about tea in the foyer?" "
No need." Dong
Qingcheng shook his head: "Just wait here." "
The guard stopped trying to persuade him and just stared with them.
After waiting for a while to touch a cup of tea, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching in a hurry.
A man who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing extremely well-dressed clothes The man turned away from the wall first and looked out the door:
"Who is Daxia Dong? I, Wang Dahai, have admired the reputation of Lie Dao Sect for a long time.
"Today I suddenly heard that a master from the Fierce Sword Sect came to my door. It's so radiant!"
Jiang Ran's eyes fell on him and he glanced at Tang Huayi.
For some reason, when he saw Wang Yuanwai, he couldn't help but think of Tang Yuanwai...
