Chapter 113 Are You Worried About Big Brother?
"Sister Jiao, why do you always wipe your eyelids?" Chun Ge asked while standing in the yard.
"Is there?" Li Yujiao asked back. She was clearly reading the medical book that Doctor Fang left for her.
Chun Ge said: "You always look at the door intentionally or unintentionally, Sister Jiao, are you worried about big brother?"
Li Yujiao was stunned.
She rubbed her eyelids because they were always twitching. In the medical world, eyelid twitching means that you did not sleep well.
But did she always look toward the door?
Li Yujiao couldn't help but scold Chun Ge: "Chun Ge, how did you learn to tease Sister Jiao? Did your Aunt Wang and Sister Erhua teach you?"
Chun Ge said aggrievedly: "No, I really saw you looking at the door three times in a quarter of an hour."
Li Yujiao couldn't help but say, "If you didn't look at me, how would you know that I looked at the door three times in a quarter of an hour? Besides, I run a shop and I'm used to looking at the door to see if there are any customers coming in to eat noodles. This doesn't mean anything."
Jing Qishan, she is not worried at all.
It would be better if that bastard doesn't come back!
Chun Ge had no choice but to continue practicing.
This was the task Jing Qishan assigned to him last night, asking him to practice Kung Fu for an hour every day from now on so that he could protect Li Yujiao in the future.
……
Jing Qishan and Jiang Li have already met the county magistrate.
Jing Qishan told the county magistrate his thoughts and ideas: "To eradicate the Tiger Head Gang, we cannot rely on force alone, but we must find out the person behind the Tiger Head Gang. Otherwise, in addition to the Tiger Head Gang today, there will be the Dragon Head Gang and the Dog Head Gang tomorrow."
The county magistrate stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said, "Didn't you say these ideas in the yamen that day? But how do you plan to act?"
Jing Qishan said: "It's simple. First, we need to find evidence. During the past few days of the New Year, that person must have relaxed his vigilance. If we can find relevant account books or something like that, we can report it better."
After hearing this, the county magistrate became very excited.
He came here from another place to take up the post. He only had a title, while the real power was in the hands of people like the county magistrate and the chief clerk. He was bullied by the major family forces in front and threatened by the Tiger Head Gang in the back. He could not display his talents for even half a day, and was led by the nose by these people every day!
He patted his thigh and said, "Jing Qishan, if you can accomplish this, I will reward you handsomely and make you a captain. From now on, you will be in charge of the public security of Rongcheng."
Jiang Li snorted coldly at the side. If Jing Qishan wanted to return to the military camp, he would have six guards, which was higher than the seventh-rank county magistrate. Would he care about being a constable?
Who would have thought that Jing Qishan actually agreed: "Jing Qishan thanks the county magistrate. Regarding the matter of the Tiger Head Gang, Qishan will definitely do his best to assist you in handling the case!"
Jiang Li: ...
……
Coming out of the county magistrate's house, Jiang Li said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Qishan, why did you just agree to be a head constable with the county magistrate? You should come back to the barracks with me and serve as a guard!"
Jing Qishan patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "We haven't even started yet. Let's handle the case first."
"Qishan..." Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but Jing Qishan interrupted him: "Let's go check on the county lieutenant!"
Jiang Li had no choice but to follow.
The county lieutenant was named Wang Jingsheng, a local. He was originally just a Gongcao, and he bought the position for 1,200 taels of silver, but he became a county lieutenant in just three years.
Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year. Wang Jingsheng rented a big boat and hosted a banquet for all the guests. They had fun on the boat. Not only did he invite girls from the music troupe to sing, he also set up a gambling game. The bets were not big, and if they lost, they could ask Wang Jingsheng for reimbursement.
Jing Qishan and Jiang Li disguised themselves as servants and hid on the big ship.
Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but complain: "Our soldiers are living in the barracks, sleeping in the open air, and their heads are hanging on their belts, fearing that they will die suddenly one day. These people are so extravagant that they are almost catching up with the rich and powerful in the capital."
Jing Qili smiled faintly: "So don't go back to the barracks. If you stay, at least you can have enough food and you don't have to worry about losing your head."
Jiang Li immediately refused: "A real man should serve the court. If I stay here, wouldn't that make me a coward?"
Jing Qishan said, "Let's stop talking for now. Go and keep an eye on Wang Jingsheng's housekeeper. I suspect the account book is in his hands. I'm going to Wang Jingsheng's house to look for the stolen silver!"
Jiang Li responded: "Okay!"
Jing Qishan sneaked onto a small boat responsible for purchasing and followed the boat back to the shore.
……
Jiang Li followed the Wang family's housekeeper all the way.
The butler had been giving instructions on the ship, including how the music troupe should perform, what food the kitchen should provide, and supervising the servants in charge of purchasing.
Every time a transaction took place, he would record it in his ledger.
Jiang Li was staring at it when someone suddenly called out to him, "Who are you? What are you doing standing here?"
Jiang Li was startled, but he did not panic. Instead, he turned around slowly and said, "Master, I am responsible for moving the goods on the ship."
"Then why are you standing here instead of moving the goods?"
"I was seasick just now. Come up to get some fresh air. I will move it right away."
The man cursed: "You are just lazy!"
Jiang Li quickly changed his location and continued to follow Butler Wang.
At the same time, remind yourself not to be careless anymore!
……
At the same time, Jing Qishan had also lurked in the Wang family.
All the members of the Wang family were having a good time on the boat, and now only a few servants were left at home.
As the master was not at home and it was New Year, the servants were also lazy. Jing Qishan changed his position and sneaked into Wang Jingsheng's master bedroom smoothly!
However, this master bedroom looks very simple, and there is no sign of any valuables inside.
Jing Qishan looked around and then sneered.
In his previous life, he had seen many such parasites in the court. They all pretended to be honest, but in fact, they had a lot of hidden tricks in their houses.
But he searched the house for a long time and didn't find any secret passage.
Could it be hidden in this room?
He decided to go to the study to check.
However, when he opened the door, he saw a maid standing at the door.
When the maid saw Jing Qishan, she was shocked and was about to scream, but she just opened her mouth and was knocked unconscious by Jing Qishan.
Jing Qishan carried her into the house, closed the door, and then went to look for the next house.
……
On the boat, Jiang Li, who followed Butler Wang, finally got the chance.
Butler Wang is alone now!
He picked up a wooden basket and walked towards Butler Wang.
When passing by Butler Wang, he suddenly pretended to sprain his ankle and then slammed the wooden basket heavily on Butler Wang.
The basket was half filled with eggs and the other half was filled with wood ash to protect the eggs.
Now Butler Wang’s body was covered in egg liquid and wood ash, and he couldn’t even open his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Butler Wang was knocked to the ground and asked angrily.
Jiang Li quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't pay attention. I'll get someone to clean it up for you right away!"
Then he took the opportunity to steal the account book from Butler Wang.
