Chapter 9 Volume A: Qi Lu Qing is still young and there are still people who can take the lead

"Mr. Jia, what should we do now?" Although the old woman was frightened, she was still somewhat concerned and hugged the little girl tightly.

"I'm afraid it's hard to go back." Jia Yucun huddled up and hid in the alley, carefully covering two piles of straw in front of the three of them. Two scoundrels had already run past before, relying entirely on these two piles of straw for cover. Just now he escaped from the other party's sight.

The broken pieces of straw stuck to the body, and the sweat was almost soaked through the entire clothes after running for one's life. The feeling was really uncomfortable, but if one wanted to escape with his life, he didn't dare to do anything rashly and had no choice but to die. Hidden motionless in this pile of straw.

Jia Yucun’s eyes fell on the black gate with two stone lions in front of him.

The Qingtiaoshi threshold was clean. This family looked like a wealthy family, but the door was closed. No one answered the door when they knocked on the door.

If you want to go to other places, this paragraph is almost all the courtyard walls, and there is no door to the door. If you want to go forward again, you can only curl up in this alley for a while.

"Sir, do you want to hide in this big house?" The little girl hiding in the mother-in-law's arms suddenly asked timidly.

Jia Yucun was a little surprised. He had been this girl's husband for more than a year. He also knew that although this girl didn't speak much, she was very opinionated. She was worthy of being from a noble family, but she was only seven years old anyway. When she met someone like this He couldn't even catch himself for causing such a disaster, let alone a little girl?

“Well, I’m afraid this civil commotion won’t stop anytime soon. Did we see even a single soldier along the way?”

Squeezing his body slightly inward and pressing against the wall, Jia Yucun stroked a strand of black beard and said thoughtfully.

"I don't know why the Linqing Guards, who should have thousands of soldiers, did not send troops under such circumstances and just sat back and watched the civil unrest spread. Even though the bank and government offices were in the brick city, the merchants in Linqing City were afraid They all have some background, even there are a few imperial merchants, but why are the guards unwilling to leave the city? If the guards still refuse to leave the city, no place in the city will be safe..."

"Sir, are you saying that such a wealthy family can be stable?" The little girl's pink cheeks were as big as her palms, and her pupils were like ink. She blinked, obviously not agreeing with her husband's opinion.

"I'm afraid those gangsters from before will find a wealthy family like this sooner or later. If we do, we'll be trapped in a trap, right?"

 Jia Yucun knew that this girl had always had a stubborn temper, and she was quite sympathetic to her aloof father, but he didn't expect that she could have such thoughts in such a situation.

Jia Yucun was surprised and didn't think much about it. He just explained with a wry smile: "Don't underestimate such large families. Linqing City is one of the few land and water docks in the North. Even if the gathering of wealthy merchants is not as good as that of Su Yang, it is not as big as that of Ordinary Prefecture." I'm here. This kind of big house is either the residence of a wealthy businessman or the home of a prominent local family. I guess there are still some ways to hide in it, but I hope you can get some connections and give me a way out. .”

"If that's the case, we are strangers to them, how can these people be willing to give me convenience easily?" Hu's bright eyes flashed, the little girl had a sharp tongue, and she was quite suspicious.

“You have to give it a try, can’t you just sit here and wait for death? At such a young age, your family and life are at stake, do you really think this is just playing house?”

Jia Yucun was also a little annoyed in his heart, and his face was solemn. When he usually taught books, he felt that this girl was smart and agile, so he was a little indulgent, but she developed such a temper.

Seeing that the teacher's face was not good-looking, the little girl stuck out her tongue and did not dare to say anything more.

Feng You turned around, the narrow-edged sword in his hand quietly unsheathed and placed against his back.

Feng's house is facing the street gate, and the sun is like fire, making the ground hot. Although it seems to be quite deserted now, there may be snoopers hiding somewhere on the street, waiting for you. The flaw was exposed, but now he didn't have much time to waste, so he could only bite the bullet and take advantage of it.

Stepping out vigorously, after a few ups and downs, Feng You was already close to the door, shaking the bronze ring with the animal head violently, "Old Fu, Lao Fu, open the door quickly!"

The Feng family's ancestral home is in Suzhou, but this large branch had moved to Linqing during the Zhengtong period of the pre-Ming Dynasty, so the Feng family in Suzhou was divided into the northern and southern branches.

After the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, a branch of the Feng family in Linqing, that is, Feng Ziying's great-grandfather's generation, took the initiative to serve in Taizu's Northern Expedition and was knighted for their military exploits. They have stayed in the capital ever since.

However, this branch suffered heavy losses in the frontier war among Feng Ziying's father's generation. There were three brothers, Feng Qin, Feng Han, and Feng Tang. Only Feng Ziying's father, Feng Tang, remained, and Feng Tang's subordinates were even more numerous. There is only one legitimate son, Feng Ziying,

Nowadays, the old house of Feng and Tang's family in Linqing has long been uninhabited. Even the Feng family in the capital rarely comes back every year. Only Lao Fu and his wife are left to guard the door, which is normal.

The red lacquered door opened quickly, and the old man with a gray head hurriedly responded: "Feng You, where is the young master?"

"At the back." Feng You didn't bother to say more. He jumped down the steps with a quick step, holding the knife in his hand and looking around, maintaining a vigilant posture. With his other hand, he had already waved to Feng Ziying and his group who were hiding in the alley with the wall to come over quickly.

Feng Ziying and the other two people immediately ran over quickly. Just as they had time to go up the steps, they saw two people running towards them from the alley opposite.

Feng You was shocked. He suddenly raised his narrow-edged sword and wanted to buy someone's life. However, he heard the first of the two men opposite him hurriedly clasping his fists and pleading: "Hold on, hero. We are not bandits. We can't return because of the chaos on the street. I just want to ask for help." A hiding place will definitely reward you generously."

Feng You didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Obviously, the Feng family's mansion is also an eye-catching place. Feng You is even more upset when he thinks of this. This means that it is difficult for the Feng family's mansion to escape the robbers. If you come here, there will be disaster sooner or later.

Seeing that Feng You was so gloomy and frightening, the narrow-edged sword in his hand was slightly raised. If he didn't pay attention, he might strike at him with the sword. The middle-aged man became more humble and begged, and almost knelt down.

“As a convenience, we are merchants from Jinling. We have heard about Linqing’s great scenery for a long time, so we made a special trip to see it. Unexpectedly, we encountered such a disaster when we came..."

Feng Ziying and others had already stepped into the threshold. Uncle Fu was busy preparing to close the door, but he never thought that in this situation, Feng You would not be able to make the decision. After all, the owner of Feng House is still Brother Keng. What will happen if he lets people in? , he is also difficult to deal with.

While hesitating, Feng Ziying already spoke in a deep voice: "Uncle You, let them in first. It's not beautiful to block the door."

Feng Ziying saw the fierce look in Feng You's eyes, and she was probably worried that the other party had leaked the secret. But at this time, if you start killing people in this door, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome. If you really want to cut off the source of trouble, you should bring people into the courtyard. Say it again.

Feng You thought the same thing. It would be a disaster to have these two people entangled in tears at the door, and for outsiders to spy on the truth.

Hearing what the young master said, Uncle Fu could only open the door and let the two of them in, even though he was unwilling to do so.
