Chapter 10 Thinking Back
Xiang Yang was talking to Fu Dachun on the stone steps when he heard an anxious sound of footsteps from the Zhou family gate. It was obvious that there were many people coming and they were very anxious.
With a creaking sound, the door opened and the group walked out. The leader should be Zhou Fugui, who is also a big tea merchant in the county. His family is very wealthy and his people are also very round and rich. He wears light yellow brocade clothes and is very loose.
Looking at my appearance, although my face was also fat and my facial features were crowded together, I looked very haggard, with my eyes covered with black. I think I haven't had a good night's sleep for many days.
Behind Zhou Fugui, there is also a thin middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper and four large and thick-sisted slaves. They are dressed better than Xiang Yang and are also bright and beautiful. They are really rich and powerful, and they are even better than pigs and dogs.
"Little brother, but County Magistrate Li sent you to my Zhou family? Have you found a way to save the little girl?"
Zhou Fugui wanted to grab Xiang Yang's hand when he came up, but when he saw Xiang Yang holding the Yanling Knife in his left hand, he stopped awkwardly, but his face was still very anxious, and it seemed that he loved his daughter very much.
Xiang Yang shook his head, his eyes swept over the housekeeper behind Zhou Fugui, took out the constable waist card from his arms and shook it in front of Zhou Fugui, letting him know that he was not a cheating person, but indeed a person from the yamen.
"Master Zhou, this time I came to visit me as a private person. It was not assigned by County Magistrate Li, but it might also solve your urgent needs. I wonder if I can go to the mansion to discuss in detail?"
When Zhou Fugui heard that Xiang Yang was not sent by County Magistrate Li, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, when he saw the waist card, he did not dare to show it. He nodded quickly, "Little brother, please come in, Zhou Fu, please make tea quickly, make pastries in the kitchen, I want to enter the guests."
After that, he led Xiang Yang in. Fu Dachun followed Xiang Yang with admiration. Zhou Fugui was a big businessman in the county. Generally, he was a big man from black and white, and he had his own majesty. When he saw such a big man, he was afraid that he would not speak smoothly.
However, Xiang Yang is neither humble nor arrogant, and even in an active position. He is not like a fifteen-year-old boy at all, but more like a hero who has been famous for many years.
After entering the Zhou Mansion, Fu Dachun looked around with his neat green stone bricks and showed a look of surprise and envy from time to time. His family was considered a wealthy family, but they were incomparable to the Zhou family. Just looking at the arrangements of other people's yards, you can see that you are proud and rich.
Xiang Yang was squinting. No matter how rich he was and how good he lived, he would be just a piece of loess after his death. What's more, he had seen many modern luxury houses online before, which was called magnificent and extraordinary enjoyment. The Zhou family couldn't even be shocked.
Zhou Fugui led the way to Xiang Yang on the left, and was also looking at Xiang Yang secretly. From the first glance, he knew that Xiang Yang's family was not well off. His clothes were covered in coarse cloth and his long boots were worn. The only highlight was that the long sword in his hand was definitely not a fool. Now seeing Xiang Yang was not moved by the luxury and grandeur of his home, he looked more high-mindedly, and he felt more anticipated.
After entering the lobby north of the main courtyard of the Zhou family, Zhou Fugui invited Xiang Yang to sit on a mahogany chair on the left, and asked the servants to make tea and serve refreshments, so that the servants could retreat, leaving only the butler Zhou Fu and two strong servants at the door to guard them.
"I haven't asked for the name of the little brother? I also recognize the constable in Anyuan County, 70% or 80% of them, but I have never seen the little brother."
Zhou Fugui picked up the white teacup on the table and asked, shaking it, saying, "This is not a false statement. If a businessman in Anyuan County does not deal with the official side, it would be stupid. He can do this today's big business, and he will be swallowed up if he has no official protection."
Putting the Yanling Knife on the high square black table on the left hand side, Xiang Yang bowed to Zhou Fugui, "Xiang Yang has only been promoted by Li Daren in recent days, and his father Xiang Daniu is an old constable in the government office."
Speaking of Xiang Daniu, Zhou Fugui was solemn and looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "It turned out that he was the descendant of Xiang Yingxiong. Xiang Yingxiong was defeated by a few people and still killed two bandits. It was my pride of An Yuan. Now you have become a constable. You are really a tiger father without a dog son.
Alas, I have had a few dealings with your father in the past. If I hadn't been troubled by something important these days, I would have gone to worship. But I wonder what happened to Brother Xiang when he came to my Zhou family today?"
Zhou Fugui did meet Xiang Daniu before, but he usually doesn't take him seriously. He is just a little constable from a mud-legged background.
However, this time Heifeng Mountain Village abducted his beloved daughter. Although Xiang Daniu did not save his daughter, killing two bandits was considered anger for him, which made him look much more respectful.
Xiang Yang bowed his hand, thanking Zhou Fugui for his praise. His face turned solemn, and his eyes stared at Zhou Fugui and said, "Master Zhou, no secret words are spoken, and I will not go around with you. The daughter of your mansion was kidnapped by Heifeng Mountain Village a few days ago and has not returned yet. I would like to ask you to tell me in detail about the situation where you find someone to rescue him in the future. If I don't dislike me, I am willing to do my part."
Zhou Fugui was not surprised. The news of his daughter's abducted these days has been rumored to be hiding, and it is impossible to hide it. Xiang Yang's father was killed by the bandits from Heifeng Mountain Village. It is understandable that he wants to avenge his father with the help of him.
"Since Brother Xiang is quick to speak, I won't hide it. Since the little girl was captured by the group of killing thousands of swords in Heifeng Mountain Village, I have paid a lot of money to recruit experts and break into the mountain village to rescue my little girl. Unfortunately, no strong men from the famous county in the past are willing to come forward."
After pausing, Zhou Fugui took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, "Actually, I had expected that Heifeng Mountain Village would be so easy to deal with? I just couldn't swallow it in one breath.
Later, I wanted to ask someone to find a relationship to Heifengshan to pay for the redeem of the little girl, but no one dared to take on this job. During this period, I almost traveled all over the county, but unfortunately I still got nothing."
Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Li Jinhai, Qian Old Hero, and the two leaders of the Giant Bear Gang, are both famous and powerful people with great courage, reputation and strong skills. They dare not go? Why?"
Zhou Fugui sighed when he heard Xiang Yang's inquiry, "Don't mention it, Li Jinhai left the village half a month ago and went to visit friends in other counties. Qian Yingxiong is old and has been plagued by illness recently and cannot leave the house. There are also two or two of Xiong Nobita. I have no friendship with them at all. They are not short of money, so I ignore me at all.
The remaining people either lack reputation or cover up, or they are not good at their skills, and they don’t even have the ability to go up the mountain.”
Xiang Yang's brows were relaxed and it turned out that this was the case. Zhou Fugui was also thinking about it. When Miss Zhou was just captured on the mountain, she invited these strong men to take action. Maybe she could return the jade to the fullest. As a result, those who could help him go out, some were sick and two others who didn't want to miss him. Now Miss Zhou is afraid that she is not perfect.
