Chapter 57
Since the death of the heads of the two major forces in Xiangyang City, the people in the city accidentally discovered that life seemed to be a little better.
The south and north sides of the city are no longer so distinct and can be free to travel. Therefore, compared with before, there are not more people, but they are more than twice as lively. Even those vendors who walk around the streets earn thirty-five more copper coins in a day.
There is still a field mansion in the north of the city, but the master inside is more merciful than before. If someone breaks into the forbidden area, he will be given a way out.
The mistress of Qian House in the south of the city should be more cruel and no longer give porridge. In this way, there is no need for refugee streets. The old, weak, sick and disabled inside are happy to see the light of day again, but they are worried about how to find food tomorrow.
Bai Qing'er had just discussed the matter with the elders of the Hanshui Gang and went back to the study room in the backyard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar person and was so scared that he almost turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, turned her head as if nothing had happened, and ordered the maid who followed her to say:
"I'm a little tired. Let's take a break and make a decision. Later, remember to come and get the letter."
The maid didn't doubt it and said casually: "Okay. But things are a bit tricky and you can't handle them. You must send the letter today so that the lady can make a decision."
After saying that, she saw Bai Qing'er nodding and then left with satisfaction. The latter entered the study room without expression and closed the door casually.
Bai Qing'er really didn't expect Jiang Yan to come back so soon, and was so bold, drinking tea in the study openly, and almost screamed just now.
Fortunately, she was very determined and calmed down. After waiting for the door, she immediately changed into a flattering smile, showing a pleasing look like a dog, and she almost shook her tail.
Although she shouted, the guards in the mansion would surround the place, she knew that the other party was so skilled, so she didn't dare to take risks, but instead deliberately concealed it.
Now he is approaching the past without any warning, pouring tea and water for the other party, just like a maid, so as not to misunderstand and make a sudden move.
After tasting the taste of the life and death talisman once, no one wants to taste it the second time.
Jiang Yan was surprised when the other party was so obedient. He looked at the other party, and his clothes were much more dignified, and his look was dressed as a woman, and his vague charm made him feel a different flavor.
"Why didn't Mrs. Bai shout?" He asked slowly: "I see the arrangements in the mansion, which are much stricter and more organized than when Qian Du was locked up. The Yingui School is worthy of being passed down for a long time and has some skills."
Bai Qing'er stood up properly, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Qing'er is self-aware. Although there are many people in the Han River, they are all mobs. How can they beat the Dragon of the Nine Heavens?
Besides, I have no deep hatred with the young master. If I hadn't helped the young master and killed Qian Duguan, I would not be able to sit in the position of the Hanshui Gang's faucet.
From this point of view, the young master is my benefactor, and I should thank you for it.”
Although this is good, it sounds like he colluded with his wife, killed her husband, and helped his wife take over the property.
Jiang Yan coughed lightly, and said sarcastically, "But judging from the maid's appearance just now, you are just a puppet, and you can't tell what the majesty of a dragon."
Bai Qing'er showed an angry expression at the right time, with a little aggrieved look, and sighed softly, saying, "It's all seen by the young master. I am indeed a puppet pushed by the sect on the surface.
The real person behind the scenes is the senior sister, the maid. The maid is her confidant, responsible for conveying the senior sister's orders."
"Where is the wife right now?" Jiang Yan asked suddenly, and Bai Qing'er replied without hesitation: "Jingling, dominate the villa!"
The other party was so obedient that it made people unable to get angry, and even the desire to intimidate was dispelled. Jiang Yan took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Xiangyang City right now?"
Bai Qing'er immediately replied: "Because of the young master's thundering method, the situation of two tigers fighting in the city was broken.
My sect only had half of the Hanshui Gang's forces; Zheng Shiru did not have enough fame and status, so he controlled Tian Yunxiao's direct lineage. None of the other important figures were convinced, so he could only coordinate with him.
Seeing the two factions in this situation, other small forces in the city were ready to move, and now someone is in contact with each other, wanting to learn from the gangs in Nanyang, unite and form a three-legged tripod."
After hearing this, Jiang Yan thought about it secretly for a while. In a short period of time, he naturally had no time to look around. The matter of the Pegasus Ranch was naturally put on hold, so Shang Xiuxun didn't have to worry so much.
He asked casually: "Then where did the remaining people of you two sects go?"
"Some of the people who went out of the Hanshui Gang stayed in the local area and established a new gang; some went to Jingmen; most of them went to Jingling and went to Duzhuan Villa."
Bai Qing'er said: "The struggle in the county magistrate's office is even more intense. Those who are excluded either stay and stand up for independence or go north to join Zhu Can, the 'King of Garuluo'."
"Huh?" Jiang Yan shook his head and sighed for the people who left these people.
Bai Qing'er guessed a rough idea, followed his thoughts and said, "Didn't the people who went south to Jingling just left the wolf's nest and entered the tiger's mouth again? It's so funny."
As she said, she poured a cup of tea for the other party. Jiang Yan smiled and said, "You can't do this. People who can see through other people's thoughts are not pleasing."
Bai Qing'er was stunned, took two steps back, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, young master, for your advice! No wonder I was so eye-catching before, but I still couldn't like my master and the elders in the sect."
"Huh? You were born in the Demon Sect, how could you not understand this principle?" Jiang Yan laughed silently and said, "But it's interesting to make up for it immediately."
Bai Qing'er sighed: "Young Master, don't think I'm a disguise, but in fact you don't understand the rules of the Demon Sect.
Except for the master and apprentice who are the masters and disciples, no matter what I have as a foundation or a fellow disciple, they follow the precepts of the weak and rely on robbing everything. Who would be willing to teach the enemy the ability to fight?
Therefore, the young master gave a point. For Qing'er, it was the first time that someone took the initiative to teach the truth, and I was very grateful!"
She bowed again, her face full of solemnity, and there was no sign of charm.
Jiang Yan seemed to believe it or not, and said lightly: "Apart from the widow, Zhu Yuyan has more than a dozen disciples, and only you survived, which shows that she is also very capable."
Bai Qing'er was silent and said after a while: "After all, I am a little bit arrogant and willing to be inferior. The people in the Demon Sect are cold-blooded and ruthless, selfish, but no one will kill people at will if they are not good."
Jiang Yan was too lazy to continue arguing with her and said directly: "I won't kill you, I'm just a little interested in your senior sister."
Bai Qing'er knew that people like the other party rarely violated their promises. A stone in her heart finally fell to the ground and hurriedly said, "Young Master wants to take revenge on her twice against you? If it is not necessary, Qing'er will not recommend you to find her now."
Jiang Yan refused to say anything and said, "Why are you talking about it?"
Bai Qing'er said: "Senior Sister Wu's martial arts are very good, and there are not less than a few elders. If only one young man is, he may not be able to catch his strength.
Besides, Jingling is very cautious, and there are powerful figures such as Wen Caiting hiding. The young master may fall into a trap when he goes there.
Moreover, Senior Sister Wu was carefully trained by the master to deal with the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai and the core figure of the inheritance sect, and has an extraordinary status.
Once she has any accidents, the master will definitely go crazy. Not only will the young master escape, but even if Ning Daoqi takes care of the Pegasus Ranch, he will probably be retaliated against."
Jiang Yan heard her analysis and said with great confidence, and did not mind revealing the secret of the Yingui Sect, and asked, "What do you think should be? Just give up like this?"
