Chapter fifty-one
Because the killer fed the aconitum poison on the arrow, not only was the militia shot into the right rib by the hidden arrow and the Daxing Tingting soldier who was shot in the vital limb of the vest and the other Militia militia who was shot in the vital limb of the vest and almost died. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. There was no purification technology for poison in this era. The amount of poison carried by the poison arrow was not very large. In addition, Xiang Kang spent a lot of money to ask a good doctor for rescue. He spent all his efforts and finally pulled the militia named Liu Zhu back from the brink of death, and also saved some of the prestige among the Militia militia for Xiang Kang. In this era, there were not many bosses who valued the lives of the soldiers under his subordinates as much as Xiang Kang.
On the other hand, just like Xiang Kang's guess, after the failed luring himself to kill him, the mysterious Lingxian bandits quickly left the mountaineering area and fled to the east of Lingxian, which was sparsely populated by Lingxian. The case completely turned into a unsolved case. The bandits took on all the charges, but Xiang Kang, Feng Zhong and others didn't even know how many people and who were they and who were. It would be difficult to continue pursuing them.
Fortunately, Feng Zhong at least recovered a dead body of a bandit. At the same time, the militia under Xiang Kang had indeed helped the officials of the Xiaguan to expel the bandits and gave some explanation to the officials of the Xiaguan and the people. Therefore, even though he was ashamed, Xiang Kang still claimed that he had successfully defended the lives and property of the people of Daxingting, and called on the wealthy landlords of the various pavilions in Xiaxiang Dongxiang to continue to pay money and grain to help him support the Xiaguan militia that had not much time.
Two days later, after confirming that the mysterious bandit had fled and could not continue to investigate, Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong led the Xiaxiang militia team and the Xiang family's children back to Shiling Pavilion in dejectedly. Then Xiang Kang immediately brought the body and pension of the sacrificed militia to his home to comfort him, and witnessed a tragedy in the world where a white-haired man cried and sent a black-haired man. He felt very uncomfortable, but he could do nothing.
Then, Feng Zhong kindly expressed his intention to invite Xiang Kang to his house for dinner and drink. Xiang Kang, who was feeling uncomfortable, was not in this mood. He casually found an excuse and then went back to his own dilapidated courtyard. However, when Xiang Kang was surprised and moved, his fiancée Yu Miaoge actually kept guarding the gate of the courtyard waiting for him to come back. As soon as he met, he asked with concern: "Are you okay? I heard that you went to Daxingting to fight a war with the bandits this time, and even died. You were not injured, right?"
"It's okay, I'm not injured." Xiang Kang forced a smile on his face, and quickly opened the yard door with the key, and greeted Yu Miaoge, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and he also had a rare opportunity to get alone with his beautiful fiancée.
After entering the room, Yu Miaoge of course asked Xiang Kang about the details. Xiang Kang was afraid that Yu Miaoge was worried, so he deliberately concealed the bandits. In fact, they specifically targeted their own situation and made a rough introduction to the matter. However, even so, Yu Miaoge was still worried. As soon as he heard Xiang Kang say, he said: "You must be careful in the future. When you encounter danger, don't rush forward like last time. Learn to take care of yourself."
"Of course." Xiang Kangqiang smiled and said casually: "Don't worry, I will be careful. We will be officially married soon, and I will definitely not be willing to die."
The blush immediately appeared on Yu Miaoge's white and tender cheeks, lowered his head and spat, "You are a person who cares about you, and you are still saying naughty words."
"It's not naughty, it's the words in my heart."
Xiang Kang's answer made Yu Miaoge even more shy. He was afraid that Xiang Kang would continue to tease him. Yu Miaoge could only change the topic quickly and said, "I originally called my younger sister, but she refused. But I can see that she is actually caring about you, just because she is shy, so she dare not come."
"I'm afraid it's not just shy." Xiang Kang muttered shamelessly, but said, "Take a message to her for me and say I have nothing to do. Thank you for your concern for me."
Yu Miaoge snorted and agreed with a blushing face. Xiang Kang was moved by her shy expression, so he simply left the table and sat next to her, reaching out to take her into his arms. Yu Miaoge's whole body was shocked and subconsciously wanted to resist. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang was too fast and had already wrapped around her slender waist before Yu Miaoge struggled. Yu Miaoge was embarrassed and quickly struggled, saying, "No, I can't, I can't, I'll wait for it to happen later."
"It's only two months old, what are you afraid of?" Xiang Kang said with a smile: "Come on, let me take a closer look at how beautiful my wife is."
Yu Miaoge whispered to continue to resist, but Xiang Kang hugged him tighter, but at this moment, Xiang's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and he called Xiang Kang to go to his second uncle's house for dinner. Yu Miaoge was as if he was pardoned and quickly pushed Xiang Kang away and hid aside. Xiang Kang was quietly cursing his clan nephew's ability to pick him up, while he could not help but agree loudly, and at the same time invited Yu Miaoge to have dinner with him. Yu Miaoge blushed and shook his head to refuse, and said, "There is another thing. Today, my servant in Yanjiting brought news that he saw the servant of Shan Youwei's family living in Yanjiting's guest house. He didn't know what to do. I, Aweng, are worried about this, so you should be careful."
"Did the servants of Shan Youwei's family live in Yan Jiting's guest house?" Xiang Kang's eyes turned, and he was immediately alert and said to himself: "It's only more than an hour away from Shilingting Pavilion. It seems that I have to be careful, especially to find a way to keep an eye on that kid."
After instructing Xiang Kang, Yu Miaoge quickly said goodbye to Xiang Da’s malicious smile. Xiang Kang planned to follow Xiang Da to his second uncle’s house and have dinner with the Xiang family’s children. As a result, when he could not find a capable man to closely monitor someone, Xiang Kang had an idea and really thought of a way to let the Xiang family monitor each other. He deliberately told the Xiang family that the people of Shan Youwei moved into Yanjiting’s guest house during the meal, and then told him: “Dear brothers, Yan Jiting is too close to here. Don’t walk alone these days. You must look at each other when you go there, and be careful that Shan Youwei’s people use poison arrows to plot against you. Also, if there is any situation, please tell me immediately.”
The Xiang family agreed carelessly, and Xiang You nodded as if to behave, but Xiang Kang could see that there was still an unconcealed panic in his expression, and he was obviously worried about something. At the same time, Xiang Kang thought in his mind: "Doing this will only increase the difficulty of this kid's secret contact with the other side, but only a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to defend against the other side. After a long time, this kid may still contact the other side quietly and do something that makes me unable to guard against. I still have to think of a way and get the ironclad evidence of the secret collusion between this kid and the other side. What method should I use?"
Playing with one's mind has always been Xiang Kang's strong point, and this time is no exception. Before the meal is finished, Xiang Kang already has a general idea. He is expected that under the surveillance of his own children, someone will definitely not dare to contact Shan Youwei rashly, and he will definitely be nervous and worried, and will try his best to find an opportunity to contact him. Then, the bold idea of creating this opportunity for someone naturally jumped into Xiang Kang's mind...
The next morning, after returning to the blacksmith shop to preside over the production, Xiang Kang casually made an excuse and asked someone to call Wei Shan, the disciple Feng Zhong who had some fate with him, to the blacksmith shop, and left everyone to talk to Wei Shan next to the smelting furnace. At night, when Xiang Kang deliberately counted his own property in front of his brothers, and soon found that he had a gigantic lenius of gold was missing. Then he naturally remembered that Wei Shan, who had a history of thieves, had once approached the clothes he put aside when he was making a blacksmith shop today. He suspected that it was Wei Shan's work and asked his brother to go to the pavilion to settle the score with him.
He led the Xiang family to the Tingshe and found Feng Zhong, who was still in the position of Shilingting Ting. Xiang Kang roughly explained the situation. However, Feng Zhong shook his head and said with confidence: "Brother, you should have misunderstood. I know that Weishan man has done a thief before, but he has really changed it. I dare to guarantee you this. If you don't believe it, I will call him to ask you in person now."
The cruel fact soon hurt Feng Zhong's pitiful little face. After being called to Xiang Kang, Feng Zhong had just asked a few questions, and Wei Shan thrust down to Feng Zhong's knees and said with a sad face: "Brother, I'm confused. I want to marry a wife and buy a house. I don't have enough money. I think Mr. Xiang must not remember so much money, so I made an old problem and couldn't help but secretly took him a piece of gold. I should die, I should beat him. I am not a human, I am a beast!"
Fiercely whipping his face, Wei Shan took the initiative to take out the gold he stolen from Xiang Kang. Feng Zhong was furious when he saw it. Of course, he kicked Wei Shan four feet up and roared, "Bastard! Brother Xiang and I have something to do with you. Is the ten gold I promised to give you last time, is it a little less for you or one less for you? Do you dare to steal Brother Xiang's money and lose my face? You said yourself, how should I deal with you?"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Wei Shan cried, hurriedly hugged Xiang Kang's legs, and begged with tears in his nose and tears: "Young Master Xiang, I'm sorry for you, I'm wrong, I should beat you! I was confused for a moment, beg you, for the sake of my last time for your life and death, please spare me this time, and spare me this time."
Xiang Kang said with a stern face without saying anything, with a heartless and vicious look on his face, "You made a contribution last time, but I should give you a lot of money. Brother Feng, according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, how should you punish a piece of money to steal?"
"Brother, isn't it..." Feng Zhong said with a hint of indifference with a hurried look on his face: "According to the Qin Dynasty, stealing a gold is at least a punishment for Chengdan. If he is not lucky, he may be sent to Mount Li to be a prisoner. Although this Weishan should be beaten, he has already pleaded guilty and returned the gold he stole. In view of his efforts to us before, do you think...?"
"I won't go to Mount Li!" Wei Shan quickly shook his head, hugged Xiang Kang's legs and begged: "Young Master Xiang, please, please, let me go this time, let me go this time, in the future, I will definitely repay you as a cow, a horse, a pig or a dog."
He snorted cruelly, and then Xiang Kang said to Feng Zhong: "Brother Feng, for your sake, he can be regarded as a self-proclaimer (submitted himself), so that he does not need to go to Mount Li to be a prisoner, but he must be a Chengdan for several months. Otherwise, he will not be able to have a memory!"
"Young Master Xiang, show your mercy!" Wei Shan cried in despair and said, "How can I do the work of Chengdan so heavy? Also, now the corvee service is heavy. I am the Chengdan and may be sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall at any time!"
"Then are you willing to go to Mount Li to be a prisoner for life, or are you willing to go to the frontier to build the Great Wall for several months?" Xiang Kang asked coldly.
"I...,I..."
Wei Shan could not answer anymore. Feng Zhong over there couldn't stand it and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, don't do this, give me some face and spare him. This little master didn't lie to you. In order to complete the above-mentioned mission, the county often sent Chengdan to the frontier to build the Great Wall. He couldn't stand such a crime. I asked him to kowtow to you and spare him this time."
As he said that, Feng Zhong really forced Wei Shan to kowtow to Xiang Kang to apologize. Xiang Kang could not hinder Feng Zhong's affection, so he could only snort again and said to Wei Shan: "I slap myself ten times in the face. For this matter, next time, it would be useless if Brother Feng pleaded for you!"
Unable to resist Xiang Kang's power, Wei Shan could only raise his hand and slap himself ten times in the face until his cheeks were red and swollen. Then he kowtowed to Xiang Kang again and begged Xiang Kang to let him go. Xiang Kang was too lazy to look at him, bowed to Feng Zhong and thanked Feng Zhong, taking the gold that Wei Shan returned to him and left, leaving Feng Zhong in the room to continue punching and kicking Wei Shan, who had lost his face, and scolded him angrily.
This scene was a good show, and Xiang You, who came to join the Xiang family to seek revenge, was clearly seen, and also sneered at Xiang Kang's viciousness and meanness. However, Xiang You quickly forgot about this matter because Xiang You no longer had time to care about such trivial matters. The bamboo slips he wrote were held in his hand as iron evidence. It is very likely that the person sent to contact him lived in Yanji Pavilion, not far from Shiling Pavilion, and could appear in front of him at any time, but the Xiang brothers were like a group of followers, following him at any time. If Shan Youwei's people suddenly appeared and happened to be caught by his brothers, what would he end up?
"I can only ask God for blessings. I bless the people on Shan Youwei's side to do things in a very meticulous manner. I can find that I have been stared at and dare not take the risk of contacting me. Just wait a few more days, wait a few more days, and when my brothers forget that boy Xiang Kang's explanation, I can act alone."
He prayed for God's blessing in his heart, and was worried about traveling around with the Xiang family's children for two days. On the morning of the third day after the gold burglary, when Xiang You was wandering around the pavilion with the Xiang family's children, Wei Shan, who had been severely cursed by Xiang Kang two days ago, suddenly appeared in front of the Xiang family's children, and walked directly to Xiang You who had accidentally distanced a little from the Xiang family's children, nodded and said, "Young Master Xiang, can you speak with a step? There is something small, I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter?" asked Xiang You, who couldn't look down on ordinary people like Weishan.
