Xiao Qinghuan

Wen Zui had an official position, so he couldn't make a big show of it, so he was confined in the private prison of the Pingjiang government office, and only said to the outside world that he was recuperating behind closed doors.

Several of his cronies were also imprisoned in a private prison, under the unified supervision of the Shenwei Battalion.

Jiang Xiaohan went around the backyard, released all the wine slave girls raised by Wen Zui, and handed them to Wei Shen to find out their origins. If they were good, they would give them money and send them home. Surround yourself in the backyard first, and wait until later.

Shenwei Ying was quick and agile, Wei Shen took his order and went.

Jiang Xiaohan sat in the hall for a while. He didn't sleep all night yesterday, his eyes were dark and black, and his head started to hurt.

The papers to be sent to Beijing must be carefully considered and submitted to the Ministry of Officials to explain the reasons.It is impossible to leave such a big stall in Pingjiang Mansion alone, and the plague in Liujia Village must be dealt with well.He caught Wen Zui's mistakes in Jiangnan, but there are also people in Beijing who are waiting to catch his mistakes.

Jiang Xiaohan still has a lot to do, and he can't rest for a moment.

Soldiers from the Divine Guard Battalion came and went, and letters were folded on his case.Jiang Ying was not around, and Jiang Xiaohan didn't have many people available around him, so the delivery of news was a problem.

The plague is the top priority right now, and the matter of Wen Zui was temporarily kept in the government office by Jiang Xiaohan.The people in the city saw the fact that the villagers of Liujia Village called for help on the street in the morning, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.Jiang Xiaohan wrote a notice, describing all the situation outside the city, and posted it on the bulletin board at the gate of the city.

In addition, he wrote to the banker Yinzhuang and the pharmacy in the city, opening free clinics in the name of Zhuang Yi, and distributing some medicine packs and other things to the outside world.

The streets in the city must also be cleaned with boiled vinegar, and the checkpoints and guard rotations for entering and leaving the city must be changed one by one. Yamen servants and police officers who have come into contact with sick people in the morning must be isolated first to check the situation.

Jiang Xiaohan kept his feet on the ground, and there was a strong smell of vinegar inside and outside the Pingjiang government office, which made people dizzy.

With his left ear, he listened to the soldiers of the Divine Guard Battalion reporting the situation in the city, and with his right hand, he had to write letters to the officials in the surrounding areas to explain the situation. Home village to see a doctor.

Most of Wen Zui's people are not very useful, and Shenwei Ying has never done such mundane tasks, and almost only knows how to act after listening to his arrangements.After most of the day, Jiang Xiaohan's throat was full of fishy sweetness, and his saliva was sore.

It wasn't until it was dark that Jiang Xiaohan wrapped the booklet for Beijing with oiled paper, printed a wax seal and sent it to the official post, and then called Jiang Mo, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk.

The rain outside hadn't stopped yet, Jiang Mo held an umbrella for him, Jiang Xiaohan rejected Wei Shen's proposal to have someone protect him, and only took Jiang Mo outside.

He was going in the direction of Granny Wen's house.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't know why he came here, but when he reached the alley, Jiang Xiaohan suddenly stopped.

"You wait for me here." Jiang Xiaohan said, "I'll go in by myself."

Jiang Mo looked at him disapprovingly, before he could say anything, Jiang Xiaohan left him and went into the alley by himself.Seeing that he had made up his mind, Jiang Mo had no other choice. He could only take a few steps and put the umbrella into his hands, and hid himself under the eaves next to him, signaling him to be careful.

Jiang Xiaohan walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The Spring Festival couplets at the door of Granny Wen's house were finally killed by the heavy rain, and fell miserably in the mud at the door, already broken into pieces.

He pushed open the door and saw a familiar person as expected.The young man in black stood on the steps, right next to Granny Wen's body, and was turning his head to stare at him. His eyes were piercing, like those of a wild beast.

Jiang Xiaohan knew he was there just now at the entrance of the alley. The other party was injured and breathing heavily, which was quite obvious in the quiet alley.

"Young Master Luo." Jiang Xiaohan moved the umbrella back slightly, and looked at him impartially.

"Don't you even spare the old man?"

Luo Suifeng didn't open an umbrella, and the things in his arms were hidden somewhere. Jiang Xiaohan could hear the anger in his tone, which was an undisguised disgust.

Jiang Xiaohan just thought it was funny.

He has a sore throat, and he is not in the mood to explain anything to a child who hasn't grown up.He took a few steps in the direction of Granny Wen, but was blocked by a sword.

The blade of the Liuguang Sword is thinner than ordinary swords, and the blade is also narrower. The sharp edge is pressed against Jiang Xiaohan's throat, shining a chilling light.

The rain fell on the sword, then slid down the blood groove, dripping from the hilt to the ground.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and without stopping, he took another half step forward.The blade grazed his neck, leaving a long and thin bloodstain.

"Do you have a heart?" Luo Suifeng withdrew his hand half a point, and looked at him in disbelief, as if he was looking at something dirty.

"Didn't you kill Granny Wen?" Jiang Xiaohan wiped the blood from his neck, and said softly: "You took her things, Wen Zui was desperate, to prevent future troubles, that's why I jumped the wall and killed her in a hurry."

"You guys killed her." Luo Suifeng said seriously, "I didn't kill her."

It's not speculative, Jiang Xiaohan now believes that Luo Suifeng was brought up by a boa constrictor.Luo Suifeng didn't know anything about human relationships and sophistication, except for his good martial arts, there was only one string in his mind.

Jiang Xiaohan had no doubt that if he tried to reason with Luo Suifeng, he would probably kill himself first.

He turned his head slightly to avoid the edge of the sword, and bent down to put back Granny Wen's hand that was exposed outside the white cloth.The old man's hands were skinny and dull, the skin was wrinkled badly, with a bluish-gray lifelessness.

The oil umbrella was put aside for the time being, and the red string hidden under the cuff seemed to be warm. Jiang Xiaohan pressed the sleeve unconsciously, looking at the outline of blood stains on the white cloth.

Jiang Xiaohan's long eyelashes drooped down, and his back arched into a thin arc, looking a little sad.

"You killed her, why are you crying for her?" Luo Suifeng asked.

"I didn't cry for her." Jiang Xiaohan said hoarsely, without a tear on his face: "I won't cry either."

"You have." Luo Suifeng said: "Lying will make people appear hypocritical, and hypocrisy will make people sick."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaohan hooked the corners of his lips, and pulled out a mocking smile: "Aren't you hypocritical?"

"Grandma Wen and I are both human." Jiang Xiaohan straightened up: "You are angry for her unjust death, so why don't you feel ashamed for wronging me?"

"In the final analysis, your morals are just different." Jiang Xiaohan stood up, picked up the oil-paper umbrella and walked into the rain again: "If Granny Wen is not dead, in your eyes, she is just a member of 'us' .”

Luo Suifeng didn't speak, he frowned slightly, showing a puzzled look.

"You think the strong must be at fault." Jiang Xiaohan only left him a back view, just like before: "But Luo Shaoxia, the weak are not blindly innocent."

"Whether you believe it or not, Wen Zui and I are not the same people." Jiang Xiaohan paused before pushing the door open, and then said: "He wants to kill me, so I'm also trying to kill him."

After Jiang Xiaohan said this, he opened the door and walked out. He didn't have time to deal with Luo Suifeng here.The chaos inside and outside the city had to be cleaned up, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to do in the government office, so he didn't even have room to breathe.

Seeing him coming out, Jiang Mo hurried up to take the umbrella in his hand: "My lord."

Jiang Xiaohan rubbed his forehead vigorously: "What time is it?"

"It's three quarters you hour." Jiang Mo said: "There will be a curfew in more than an hour. Is the young master resting in the Pingjiang government office tonight?"

Wei Shen and the people from Shenweiying are all in the government office now, Jiang Xiaohan originally wanted to answer, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"Is Yan Qing here?" Jiang Xiaohan asked.

"According to the time, it should have arrived long ago." Jiang Mo said: "The horses in the Shenwei camp are all army horses. It takes less than two hours to cover a distance of two hundred miles."

"Go back to West Street." Jiang Xiaohan said: "By the way, ask someone to inform Wei Shen that they have worked hard today, so tell them to rest well, and we will discuss matters at the beginning of tomorrow."

Jiang Mo was a little confused. Jiang Xiaohan originally said before going out that he would think about changing Pingjiang City's defense tonight, but he didn't know why he had to go through so much trouble.

"Are all the carrier pigeons in the house?" Jiang Xiaohan suddenly asked again.

Jiang Mo suddenly realized that his son was afraid of losing the news from outside.

"Yes, it's there." Jiang Mo said: "The news about going to and from Beijing is still in the house, and it hasn't been moved to the government office."

"No need to move." Jiang Xiaohan said, suddenly remembered something: "I'll go back to West Street in a while, remember to buy me a bowl of wonton noodles from the stall at the corner."
