Chapter 159： general thief

capital

On the roof of the high-walled tiled house in the General's Mansion of Zhen Guo, a man in black clothed in black and covered with a black veil was flying very lightly and quickly, like a lightly tapping swallow, only touching the fly. From now on, the target direction points directly to the housekeeper's room in the general's mansion.

When he arrived at the destination, he listened to all directions and looked at all directions. After there was nothing unusual, he carefully moved a tile to reveal a small hole. Through this small hole, he saw a man with a big belly and fat like a pig lying on the bed. , is sleeping soundly.

A soybean immediately popped out of Jiang Zhennan's palm and directly hit the man's sleeping hole.

After completing this action, he carefully and lightly covered the tile, and he jumped down with a neat movement, took out a thin wire, stretched it through the crack of the door, and then lightly buckled the door bolt, He moved it slightly, and finally, he pushed it again, and he went in.

He walked straight to this person, then rudely kicked the person in the other direction of the bed, and the pillow fell out. Then, he reached under the pillow and found a bunch of keys. .

He took the key and left directly, heading towards the warehouse.

Use the key to open the warehouse, the goal is very clear, go directly to the cabinet on the left, open several boxes in the cabinet, and rummage one by one, as if looking for something.

He just rummaged through several boxes, and only the last drawer remained. His face covered with the black cloth was slightly wrinkled, and he seemed a little puzzled. He opened the last drawer and flipped a few more times. The upswing has finally been found.

After getting the things, he glanced at his warehouse, and after seeing a few precious medicinal materials, he took them directly without hesitation.

After he got the things, he went back to the housekeeper's room, put the key back under his pillow, and moved him back to his original position again rudely.

When he closed the door again, he hooked the bolt back with the wire.

This whole sequence of actions took just a short while, and then everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.

When the man in black exited the housekeeper's door, his brows wrinkled again, and he seemed a little worried. Then, he avoided all the guards of the general's residence and went straight to the east courtyard, where Jiang Zhennan's study rested.

At the door of the study, there were two guards standing straight, as if talking.

"Hey, you said that our general, it has been several months, and there is no news at all. Is it really as the housekeeper said, our general really suddenly wants to rest and not let him know where he is going?"

"Yeah, our general began to join the army at the age of ten, and has been in the army until now at the age of twenty. I have been in the army for more than ten years. I heard that I have never had a good rest. As soon as the enemy country heard the name "General Shura", his legs went weak with fright. This "victory" name is really not for nothing.

Now that the frontier war has just ceased, other frontier countries have no intention of fighting the Longyan Kingdom again. Our country also needs to recuperate. Now our general wants to take the opportunity to rest, please forgive me.

It's just that, in March and April, there is no news, this is a bit abnormal, right? Do you think something will happen to the general? "One of the guards said with some doubts in his heart.

"Bah, bah," the man immediately pouted a few times when he heard that something might have happened to the general, and then said sharply, "what are you talking about. Our general is so heroic and powerful, how could it be so easy to have an accident? The housekeeper is not Did you say that our general went to take a rest? Then it must be to take a rest, and after a while, the general will come back."

It's just that their generals have never had this situation before.

If the general didn't stay in the border guarding Longyan Kingdom and was not invaded, or he stayed directly in the general's mansion in the capital, never going anywhere, even if the officials had normal exchanges and dealings, except for the Guo Earl's family, he refused all others. , let those officials feel both hated and helpless.

It's just that this time, the general and the son of the Guo family suddenly disappeared without being seen for a few months, which is really worrying.

Jiang Zhennan, who was covering his face, heard his subordinate's words, his eyes darkened slightly, and then, covering his face, he moved quickly to point their acupoints.

Afterwards, he went straight to the two of them, pulled down the veil, and said in a low voice, "Little 38, Little Twelve, listen to me first, and I'll tell you later if you have any questions. I'm yours. General Jiang Zhennan, I am now being harmed by others. I cannot go back to the general's mansion. I can only wait for the opportunity. I just need your help right now. I will open your acupuncture points now, but you must keep your voice low, and must not make any exclamations. ,do you know?"

The two guards were tapped on the acupuncture point by Jiang Zhennan, and only two eyes might move, but when they were tapped on the acupuncture point, panic appeared in their eyes at that moment, but when they heard the other party say that they were their general Jiang Zhennan, In addition to surprise, there is more disbelief in his eyes.

Because they deeply remember that their general has been wearing a silver mask for more than ten years. It is said that he was disfigured because of a knife wound on his face. of.

But this man, even though his stature and voice are very similar to a general, but his face has no stab wounds at all. He is very tough and handsome, not scary at all. How can he look like a general?

But, to be honest, they have never seen the general's face at all, so they can't confirm whether the general's face is really injured and scarred, and the mask he wears is because of the general's commander. They are too handsome to be deterred, so they put on masks to demonstrate.

It's just that, whether the person in front of them is a general or not, they must ask them clearly.

After Jiang Zhennan opened their acupuncture points, the two didn't exclaim and scream like the woman, but just asked the question in a low voice and not disturbing, as Jiang Zhennan asked.

After all, if this person is really a general, then his sudden appearance like this must have a hidden meaning. If he suddenly shouts that there are thieves or assassins, it may be very detrimental to the general.

Conversely, if the person in front of him is not a general, but someone pretending to be someone else, then as long as they shout, he will be surrounded by people in an instant, making it difficult for him to fly.

Besides, if this person is not a general, it is easy to kill them, so why bother talking to them here?

Although they guessed that the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him was probably his own general, they still needed to confirm it again.

The two looked very calm and asked incredulously, "Our number is indeed thirty-eight, and forty-two is not wrong. However, this does not prove that you are our general. So, you say that you are us. General, how are you going to prove it? You must know that our generals have always been upright and upright, not like you..." Instead of dressing like a thief and an assassin.

As expected of the subordinates that Jiang Zhennan cultivated, he has a certain amount of courage. Otherwise, if he were a general guard, his life would be threatened, so how could he question him calmly as usual.

That's right, these two guards were indeed cultivated by Jiang Zhennan himself.

The study is the place where the daily work is heavy, and many secret documents may be hidden in the study. Therefore, this study must be guarded by someone twelve hours a day.

He was worried about finding a general guard Jiang Zhennan, so he picked out four guards from the guards he had cultivated, two of whom were on duty all day long.

Because of the sudden betrayal of the housekeeper, Jiang Zhennan was poisoned and the situation was extremely dangerous. It was too late to deal with the affairs in the general's mansion. At the same time, in order not to startle the snake, Jiang Zhennan did not bring a guard from the mansion, but went to Guo's mansion in secret, found Guo Bing, and then , plans to go to Yaowang Valley to find the genius doctor Wu Yazi.

The two of them went there originally, but when they arrived outside the city, they were assassinated unexpectedly. Guo Bing immediately sent a signal and summoned all the more than fifty Jiang Zhennan's personal guards. on standby.

As for the general's mansion, the housekeeper and the marquis mansion, that is, Jiang Zhennan's father's mansion, colluded inside and outside, assassinated Jiang Zhennan and poisoned Jiang Zhennan, so he was sure that Jiang Zhennan could not find someone to detoxify him, because this poison can be cured but almost It's like there is no cure.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhennan quickly left the General's Mansion, he calmly informed the people at the Marquis Mansion, and then he calmly waited for news in the mansion.

As long as he waited for the news of Jiang Zhennan's death, the people at the Marquis' Mansion promised to give him 30,000 taels of silver in addition to handing over the stewardship of the General's Mansion to him.

However, before the news of Jiang Zhennan's death came out, he could only find an excuse to explain Jiang Zhennan's disappearance. Otherwise, if the person became suspicious, he would not be able to finish his meal, and it would be more likely to involve his family.

Therefore, regardless of whether the general's mansion did not know about Jiang Zhennan's accident, the entire capital, except for the person in charge of the poisoning of Jiang Zhennan, also did not know that Jiang Zhennan had an accident, including the high-ranking person.

They thought that their generals were really two guards who went out to travel around the mountains and waters, but they were surprised when they suddenly heard the general himself say that he was framed and turned around like a dragon.

It's normal for the two guards to have doubts, Jiang Zhennan said, "Little 38 was caught by General Ben for stealing meat in the kitchen, little 42, you had a crush on a girl and didn't dare to confess, so you used alcohol to strengthen your courage. Right..." After checking this sentence, Jiang Zhennan didn't say it.

Because that sentence is, the result is to confess to General Ben.

"Don't, don't talk," the two looked at each other and immediately confirmed that the person in front of them was their general.

Because the only embarrassing thing they have done so far is being caught by the general. "General, we believe you."

However, seeing the general returning to his mansion without a mask and dressed like a thief, was extraordinarily suspicious.

38 pointed to his black dress and asked suspiciously, "General, why don't you wear a mask? And why are you dressed like this?"

Jiang Zhennan said sternly and dignifiedly, "Regardless of whether this general is wearing a mask or not, I am your general. You listen to this general.

This general was murdered by a traitor, and people secretly poisoned him. If it hadn't been for the unparalleled medical skills, this general might have been poisoned and died.

Now that one has not only removed the poison from General Ben's body, but also removed the dark wounds of General Ben's many years of trauma, as well as this terrifying scar on his face.

However, this general has a home and can't go back now. Inside and outside the capital, there are many arrangements, just waiting for this general to enter the network, and then kill and silence, and will never let this general see the saint. Even if this general secretly returned to the mansion, someone had already prepared charges, and as soon as he appeared, those people would definitely put these trumped-up charges on this general's head.

Therefore, this general has to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that is open and aboveboard, and they cannot do anything at all, do you understand?

When Xiao 38 and Xiao 42 heard it, their pupils suddenly contracted violently, their hands clenched into fists, and the expressions on their faces were frightened and angry, "Who is it?"

Who the **** poisoned the general is really vicious and selfish. He even murdered the protector of the dignified Longyan country people for his own personal reasons.

Jiang Zhennan said sternly, "It doesn't matter who you are. The important thing is that you must not tell anyone you saw this general tonight. Remember, it's anyone, including the housekeeper. Also, you should take the situation in the capital as your own. The way of flying pigeons to send the message to this general in time, and never let anyone find out, you know?" His close guards are all literate, so there is no need to worry that they can't write.

When they heard that they couldn't tell the butler, the two were extremely surprised, looked at each other and asked cautiously, "General, you can't tell the butler about this, why is that?" It was obvious that the general trusted the butler the most.

Jiang Zhennan would not tell them the reason, in case they heard that it was the butler's poison, and angrily exposed.

He said sharply, "Don't ask why. Just remember, you can't disclose my news to anyone, including the housekeeper!"

The two looked at each other again with solemn expressions, and then quickly gave a military salute, and said in a low voice, "Yes, General!"

Jiang Zhennan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! This general will remember the credits of both of you!"

Xiao 38 and Xiao 42 were overjoyed, and gave Jiang Zhennan another military salute and said, "Thank you, General!"

Jiang Zhennan nodded, took out the key to open the door, and then entered the study.

After a while, Jiang Zhennan came out, nodded to them and said, "You are doing well. Remember that in the future, you can't let anyone in, including the housekeeper, you know?"

"Yes, General!" The two of them didn't know what to do, but their hearts were vague, maybe the housekeeper was a problem, so for the general's sake, they would never allow the housekeeper, or anyone else, to enter the study.

After Jiang Zhennan looked at the study, he put on the black veil again, got up and jumped to the roof, and then flew away quickly like a flying eagle.

"Yeah, the general's Qinggong is really good!"

"That's right, if my Qinggong is one-tenth of that of a general."

"I estimate that I will not be one-tenth of a general in my life."

Yan Guo kept a voice, however, apart from the hearts of the two guards, no one knew that the master of this manor had ever returned, and he returned in such a way as a thief.

The next day, the housekeeper, who was dragging his heavy and fat body, hung one hand on his back and the other on his waist, and said in confusion, "Why does my whole body hurt, did you not sleep well yesterday? "

Suddenly, he stopped a maid in pink clothes, "Come, come, just you, come and hang your back for me."

As he said that, he reached out and touched the little hand of the little maid with a very wretched expression. Then, he naturally touched the soft waist. The maid was in a place where the housekeeper could not see, frowning and showing a disdainful expression, but after a while. Turning around, he smiled sweetly and said, "Housekeeper, there are so many people here."

The housekeeper, who was in pain all over, stopped hurting immediately, he immediately teased, his fat face became even more uglier, he teased and said, "Okay, let's go to a place where no one is there, let me hang down Back it up!"

Then, the two figures left.

This scene happened to be bumped into by Xiao 38 and Xiao 42 who were changing shifts. In their hearts, they were even more convinced that the housekeeper was not a good person.

Therefore, they made up their minds that even if they were to kill them, they would never allow the housekeeper to enter such an important study.

Jiang Zhennan had no idea what the two heartfelt guards thought. At this moment, he was riding a black and white horse that was very eye-catching, heading for a remote town.

...

A day or two after Jiang Zhennan left, Lin Yuelan felt a little uncomfortable. She always felt that she was missing one person to accompany her, one person to talk to, one person to care about, and one person to have a tacit understanding with herself.

For example, with a look at the masked uncle, he can immediately understand what she means, and then cooperate with her, just like the last time when he caught the criminal evidence of Lin Laosan and his son, he took a few bad things and put them in the dumb hole. Give some points and so on.

However, she comforted herself, it was due to habit, and after two days, she got used to it.

So, find something to do now and let yourself get used to it as soon as possible.

These days, Lin Yuelan was indeed busy with things, and temporarily pushed the masked uncle into the corner.

First repossess the land, then build the house, and then inherit the Lin Kee Pharmacy.

Before leaving, Lin Yuelan said a little unwillingly, "Grandpa, you are still in your prime, you can manage the pharmacy for a few more years. I am not in a hurry to take over the pharmacy."

How long did it take for them to recognize their relatives, Lin Deshan, a grandfather, couldn't wait to get rid of the burden. Therefore, he transferred the pharmacy to Lin Yuelan's name without hesitation, and then he became an idler himself and planned to stay in the Lin family. In the village, chat with Dr. Zhang and the others, or go to the fields with the little three and the others.

However, Lin Yuelan didn't want to take over this pharmacy so quickly.

Not to mention, her reputation as a "nemesis" is so loud that it is deeply taboo, even this pharmacy, she doesn't have time to guard it every day.

Although it is possible to hire a shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop is more difficult to hire than any shopkeeper.

Because this shopkeeper must be familiar with identifying various medicinal materials, and also have to understand the medicinal effects of various medicinal materials.

Such a shopkeeper, let alone Ning'an Town, is hard to find in the entire county.

Now that the shopkeeper has not been found, Lin Deshan, a grandfather, wants to be an idle shopkeeper again. Of course, now the shopkeeper can only take office by himself.

Lin Deshan stroked his beard and smiled like a tiger, and said, "Girl, anyway, Lin Kee Pharmacy, you have to take over sooner or later, it's better to take it early, so that grandpa can relax for a few more years. Besides, who Saying that I'm in the prime of life, and I'm clearly entering old age, can you really bear that grandpa, a man in his seventies and eighties, is still tired and worried?"

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes speechlessly.

It's only 50 years old, and it's 70 years old and 80 years old. Who is this?

No matter how unwilling Lin Yuelan was, the carriage quickly entered the town.

It's no surprise that everyone in the town knows this carriage from Linde Hill.

However, what surprised them was that the person in the carriage turned out to be a little girl. This child was also the famous Lin Yuelan, the famous nemesis of Linjia Village.

How is this going?

Lin Yuelan, this nemesis, others can't hide from, but this manager Lin even let this nemesis ride in his own carriage.

With some doubts, some people immediately followed, wanting to see if there was anything lively to watch.

No way, the current Lin Yuelan has its own hot search system, oh, no, it is a hot chat hot off system, it is to drive people to care about chat topics, and pay close attention to the problems around this nemesis.

Lin Yuelan stroked her forehead in her heart, and secretly said, "It seems that her reputation now really gives others the content of gossip."

However, the surface is calm as usual, and it is familiar to anyone with strange eyes.

She can't control what others think, think and say, so she can only go on her own path. When the road is wide enough, those people can only become little people who look up to her existence.
