Chapter 170 I sincerely praise you!
Chapter 170 I sincerely praise you!
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe decided not to go to the small manor where the Jiang family lived.
Jiang Yanmu and Miss Jiang were both of high status, and it was impossible for the city guards to pull them out and burn them at will.
The Jiang family and the Qiu family are both the bargaining chips of King Yi, the treasures in his hands.
He also wanted to win over the hearts of the Jiang family and the Qiu family and save his legitimate son. This was a big favor for a big family, not to mention he was still the majestic King of Wings.
The Jiang family values learning and has many disciples. All men of this clan must study and be knowledgeable regardless of whether they are officials or not.
When scholars come to the door of the Jiang family, if they are short of money and unable to continue studying, or if they encounter difficulties, the Jiang family will also provide appropriate assistance.
Therefore, among scholars, the Jiang family has a high prestige.
The Qiu family is talented and wealthy. One-third of the children in the family are engaged in business. They are different from ordinary businessmen. They are knowledgeable and smart. At least they are Confucian businessmen on the surface. They spend a lot of money to build schools and invite great Confucians to give lectures from time to time. They also build their image. , an important way to accumulate reputation.
As far as King Yi is concerned, the support of these two families is huge, not to mention that both families are here.
However, Yan Ruyu planned to take advantage of the situation, and the Jiang Qiu family could not let King Yi get away with it.
When the two returned to their residence, Yin Ding came up to meet them. Seeing that there were only a few small bamboo tubes left, he asked: "Young madam, do you still need to make medicine tomorrow?"
"Better," Yan Ruyu nodded.
"There's not enough medicinal materials," Yin Ding said, "I'll buy some tomorrow."
"No," Yan Ruyu said, "It's too late today. Let's rest first. We'll go to the back tomorrow. I've prepared the place where the oilcloth was originally placed, as well as the medicinal materials. It's enough."
Yin Ding looked surprised and wanted to applaud. The young lady is so smart, she has thought of everything!
"Okay, then I'll prepare it early tomorrow morning."
Yan Ruyu warned again: "After making the soup tomorrow, let Huo Zhongmao drink a bowl first, and I will let him go to the street to do errands."
"it is good."
After giving instructions, Yan Ruyu went into the house to change clothes and lay down to rest.
Huo Changhe looked at Yin Ding's eyes shining and felt a little funny: "What are you doing?"
"Master, have you ever thought that the young lady might really be a fairy?" Yin Ding praised. "She can get everything she wants, prepare everything, and know everything."
Huo Changhe touched his sleeve and found a small tube of chocolate inside - reluctant to give the silver ingot, he turned around and went to the house to get two meat buns.
"If you want a reward, just ask."
Yin Ding looked at the bun in his hand with a blank look on his face: "Master, isn't this what I gave you tonight? Is this considered a reward? Besides, I don't want a reward, I just admire it from the bottom of my heart, sincerely!"
Yin Ding stuffed the bun back to him with an angry expression: "Humph, you underestimate me too much."
Yin Ding turned around and went into the house to sleep, slamming the door shut.
Huo Changhe simply laughed angrily: Hey, because of his inconvenient status, he let them run wild for a few days, and now they are starting to make him lose his temper!
He took a look at Yan Ruyu's room and thought about Yin Ding's praise, that's all. For the sake of his praise of Ruyu, forget it.
……
In the darkest hour before dawn, Mr. Mo woke up from his sleep.
Open your eyes, the night is as dark as paint, and there is no light at all.
He touched the small pot on the bedside and poured half of the potion of concoction before his racing heart slowly calmed down.
Soon, soon, as soon as King Yi arrives, the plan can be implemented, which is the first step to his success!
Calm down, take off your coat, put it on, and walk slowly to the yard.
The boy who was keeping watch at night didn't dare to take a nap at all. When he saw him coming out, he quickly came up to say hello.
"How is the situation outside?"
"Sir, sir, your plan is exactly as you expected."
"Have all the people taken in been settled?"
"Mr. Hui, everything is fine. We announced to the outside world that we were afraid that the situation would get worse and that we had taken him to the hospital and burned him. No one would look for him again."
"Every step must be taken with caution and everything must be foolproof."
"Yes."
"Early tomorrow morning, I'll send Mr. Xinglin there to see which ones can be used. Give him the ones that can be used, and dispose of the ones that can't be used on the spot."
"Yes."
The next day was indeed a sunny day.
Yan Ruyu got up a little late. When she woke up, breakfast had just been prepared and Yin Ding had already cooked a pot of medicine in a large pot.
Huo Zhongmao had already drank and was talking to him.
When the two saw Yan Ruyu coming out, they quickly said hello.
"Young Madam, do you have something to give me?"
"After dinner later, you can disguise yourself and go near the small manor to see if there is anything unusual."
"it is good."
"Pay attention to safety, and be careful."
"Yes."
After breakfast, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe also went out through the back door.
This time, Yin Ding also followed, and he had to go out and exchange news with the secret guards.
After the rain, the streets seemed even more chaotic. After several days of rain, fallen leaves and branches were everywhere. The noisy flow of people before had disappeared, and everyone was hiding in their homes.
The city guards have already taken to the streets and started searching for targets from house to house according to the address list.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed a group of people to check the situation.
The leading officer pointed: "This house!"
Several soldiers broke in. The ones at the door had stretchers ready and were ready to take people away.
Yan Ruyu took a look and realized, what a coincidence, it was the first house they came to last night, the house of two old people.
The soldiers didn't knock on the door, but barged in like a wolf. The old man in the yard was carrying a bucket of water, and the old woman was washing vegetables on the porch.
The two discussed it again early in the morning and decided that the Golden-armored God of War might not blame them for making some random offerings, but they felt guilty.
After thinking about it, making dumplings is the best thing they can come up with at the moment.
When they saw the soldiers barging in, the two of them were stunned: "Who are you... looking for?"
The soldiers were stunned when they looked at them. One of them went in to check and asked, "Is there anyone else at home?"
The old man said: "No, no, it's just the two of us. Master, what can I do for you?"
The soldier stepped forward and took a closer look. His eyes, skin, and breath didn't look like he was sick.
Strange, could it be a mistake?
Several people looked at each other and said, "Nothing, I just came to see if anyone is sick. Since you are not sick, just stay there."
"Yes, yes, we must be honest."
The soldiers withdrew outside. When the military leader saw them coming out empty-handed, he asked inexplicably: "What's going on? Where are the sick people?"
"No, there are only two old people in their family, and no one is sick."
The military leader was puzzled and took out the list to check: "This is it, yes. Are the people inside okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine. I'm still working."
The military leader thought for a moment and realized that he might have copied the order wrongly and said, "Okay, let's go to the next store."
At the next house, several soldiers broke in again, and the people in the house were also shocked.
The soldiers withdrew again.
This is the case for several houses in a row.
This is not right.
The military leader thought for a long time: "Let's go back. We won't search anymore today."
He had to go back and ask to find out what happened.
