CH 41.2

Jiang Rou’s hand slowly clenched the fragments tightly, the palm was cut, the blood overflowed from the fingers, and dropped to the ground drop by drop.

Qinghe County Wangfei patted the door outside to call Jiang Rou out, and promised to invite a doctor to treat her injuries. Qinghe County Wangfei patted the door for a long time and Jiang Rou ignored her. Qinghe County Wangfei was so helpless that she cried outside the door .

After an unknown amount of time, the door suddenly opened, and Jiang Rou changed into another outfit, with a veiled hat on her head, as if she was about to go out.

Qinghe County Wangfei rushed to pull her, "What are you going to do, where do you want to go?"

She cried: "Rou'er, mother will find a way for you, you must not do stupid things."

Jiang Rou patted her mother's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things. I just want to go to Anyang Houfu . Isn't Jiang Jinyue also disfigured? I'll go and see her." 

As soon as she heard that she was going to Anyang Houfu, Qinghe County Wangfei was relieved, "Then mother will go with you. "

"Mother, no need, I'll just go by myself. I happen to have something to say to Jinyue, and I'll be back later."

Jiang Rou called the maid and left after speaking. Qinghe County Wangfei stared at her back, feeling a little uneasy.

Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao didn't know what these people were plotting, no one came to the door, and Wei's mansion was very clean, so Jiang Lin went to the study to write the script for Wei Yunzhao.

Because he was busy, he didn't continue to write "The Secrets of Houfu", he also said that he would wite a script about Jiang Jinyue alone, but in the end he didn’t write it. The story line of this heroine must be long. Jiang Lin was going to save up more stories to write them together.

Wei Yunzhao wanted "The Choice Between Fame, Fortune and Affection" urgently, so Jiang Lin wrote it for him first.

Wei Yunzhao was also reading in the study, accompanied Jiang Lin, and helped him ground the ink by the way, and he didn't feel bored.

The two spent a long time in the study, and at night, Jiang Lin took the little girls and the little man at home to cook and eat together, and played in the courtyard. They didn't go back to their rooms until late at night.

A good night's sleep.

Then woke up the next morning, and it happened again.

Manager Yang from the farmhouse outside the city came, with injuries on his face, and knelt down when he saw the two of them, "Eldest young master, young madam, something happened!"

"All the rice seeds have been destroyed, and many people in the village died."

Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao's faces darkened instantly. Wei Yunzhao asked Manager Yang to explain the matter in detail, and at the same time ordered the housekeeper to prepare the carriage to go to farmhouse to see.

Manager Yang said: "In the past two days, we saw people we didn't know wandering around the farmhouse. I know that the rice seeds of the eldest young master are precious, so I arranged for people to be on duty in the field day and night, but I didn't expect something to happen."

Last night, a group of beggars suddenly appeared and poured into the fields. After injuring the villagers, they trampled all the rice seeds. When he was about to bring people over to help, a group of men in black descended from the sky to stop them. This time, the men in black who came here were much more skilled than the men in black who came last time. Although they all retired from the battlefield, they couldn’t be compared to a specially trained killer. After a while, half of the people were lost.

"What about the retired soldiers in Zhuangzi?Are there any dead people?" Wei Yunzhao asked.

Manager Yang: "Two died, and several people are injured. They were beaten to death by those beggars. I arranged for people to send them to the city to see a doctor early this morning."

"Well, the dead ones will be distributed pension money according to the old rules, and then go to the accountant to receive the money. Bury them properly, and don’t worry about the seeds.”

“Yes,” Manager Yang responded, and said again: “Master, these people came prepared, will they be with the group of men in black last time?"

"Nine out of ten," Wei Yunzhao said coldly, "It's still a step too late."

Manager Yang didn't know what he meant, Wei Yunzhao didn't explain, and sent him to collect the silver and went back to recuperate well, and he would take care of the farmhouse’s affairs.

As soon as Manager Yang left, Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao said almost at the same time, "I'm going out for a while."

They looked at each other and spoke again at the same time.

Jiang Lin: "I'm going to find a beggar in the city."

Wei Yunzhao: "I'm going to see the second prince."

All right, Jiang Lin pushed Wei Yunzhao out, he told Huaijiu to protect him well, and he himself went to look for a beggar with his hands behind his back.

They couldn't say they knew each other well, but after all they had taken money from Jiang Lin before, they still recognized Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin soon asked about the whereabouts of their leader and he was taken to meet him.

There was no formal greetings, so Jiang Lin asked him straight to the point, "Last night, Did some of you go to a village outside the city to make trouble and beat someone to death?"

The leader of the beggars was a middle-aged man named Wang San. He was much stronger, and looked very shrewd. After Jiang Lin asked, he also looked around, "Whoever went out of the city yesterday, stand up by yourself, don't let me catch you, otherwise be careful of your dog legs!"

The beggars also had the rules for beggars, their lives were worthless, if they dared to make trouble and kill people, as the above sentence said, all the beggars in Shengjing would suffer.

"It's a group," Jiang Lin said again, "It's not just one or two."

The beggars around shook their heads repeatedly, "We were all in the city yesterday, and we never went out.

"This city is easy to get out and hard to get in, who knows when you can come in after you go out, if you don't have food, you will starve to death outside, we are not so stupid.”

These people talked about where they were begging for food yesterday, and they all said they hadn’t been out of the city.
