Poor Family

  Chapter 67 The Night Visitor

It was already late at night, and Li Yanqing was still writing in front of the table. He had calmed down from the excitement in the Spring Club. They would take the county exam in two days. Although the county exam was not an obstacle to him, the master arranged He will finish all the homework seriously, and he will be able to finish tonight's homework by writing another word.

  At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly heard a knock on the door, and he remembered that Uncle Zhong was drunk and unable to open the door for himself, so he put down his pen, put on a jacket, and walked quickly to the gate of the yard.

  Opening the door, I saw a group of people standing in darkness outside the door, Li Yanqing froze for a moment, "Are you—"

  Ruan Xiaoer next to him stepped forward, cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Brother, it's us!"

   "It was Brother Ruan, who are these?" Li Yanqing glanced at the people beside him, especially a black-faced man with a beard who left a deep impression on him.

  Song Jiang stepped forward, cupped his fists and smiled slightly: "Song Jiang in Xiayun Prefecture, don't take the liberty to come and visit the little official!"

   "So you are—"

  Li Yanqing almost said "Song Gongming is raining in Shandong in a timely manner", he bit his lip and told himself again and again that this is not "Water Margin", this is the real Song Jiang in history.

   "It turns out to be a Song official, please come in!"

  Li Yanqing invited Song Jiang into the yard, Song Jiang turned around and said to the crowd: "You are waiting outside!"

   "Brother, go quickly, I will be patient."

  Song Jiang stopped again, turned his head and gave Li Kui a hard look, and Li Kui rolled his eyelids upwards.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but take another look at this black-faced, bearded man. He felt a little vigilant in his heart. No matter how the heroes of Liangshan were described in the novel as doing justice for the sky, they couldn't hide the fact that they turned into bandits. These people were all thieves in Liangshanbo. , is not a kind and honest man.

  Song Jiang sat down in the living room, and Li Yanqing asked Aunt Ju to order a bowl of tea for him.

   "Song officials came to Yanqing so late, how can Yanqing help?"

  Song Jiang smiled slightly and said, "I'm here for Hu Sheng."

After finishing speaking, he quietly observed Li Yanqing's every subtle expression. As the leader of Liang Shanbo, Song Jiang had his own strategy to control his subordinates. He was especially good at insight into people's hearts. Most of his subordinates were rebellious and unruly heroes. , getting emotional is commonplace.

  Song Jiang will invite the subordinates who are in trouble to have a heart-to-heart talk. Every subtle expression of the other party cannot escape his eyes. He can quickly judge the other party's true thoughts, so as to effectively deal with it, which has been tried and tested.

  His powerful mind-reading skills have formed a well-recognized saying in Liangshanbo, 'The parents who gave birth to me know me, Song Gong! '

   Today Song Jiang repeated his old tricks, observing Li Yanqing's every move and every subtle expression.

   Little did he know that Li Yanqing had already guessed Song Jiang's intention from the Ruan brothers, and he already had a countermeasure in mind.

Li Yanqing nodded, "Brother Ruan Xiaoer has already asked us about Baozheng today, and Baozheng has also explained to them. If Song officials don't know, I would like to repeat what Baozheng said. Uncle Hu's family moved out five years ago. Let's go, the place where Song Guanren is sitting now used to be the living room of Uncle Hu's family, he sold the land to us, we rebuilt the house, and there is no trace of their life here."

Song Jiang still keenly felt a trace of resistance in Li Yanqing's tone, he quickly smiled and said: "Maybe Li Shaolang misunderstood, I have no ill intentions towards Hu Sheng, I was an old friend with him many years ago, I always thought he I died before, but later I found out that he was not dead, but lived in Tangyin County with anonymity, so I came all the way here to see my old friend."

  Li Yanqing said lightly: "If Song Guanren came five years earlier, maybe he could still see Uncle Hu, but unfortunately I can't help you now."

In fact, Li Yanqing knew where Hu Sheng was now. When Hu Sheng came to Li Wenzhuang to inquire about the situation four years ago, he told himself that their family lived near Xiao Qinger's grandmother's house, and Aunt Hu once said to herself, Her natal family is from Nanle Town, Daming Prefecture, and Uncle Hu's family must live there.

   But no matter what Song Jiang said, Li Yanqing would never let them disturb the peaceful life of Uncle Hu's family.

  Song Jiang sighed regretfully, "Of course I know that the old man has moved away, but I think someone should know his whereabouts. The little official should have some clues!"

  Li Yanqing smiled, "I was only seven years old five years ago, does Song Guan think he will tell me?"

Although Song Jiang couldn't see the slightest expression on Li Yanqing's face, his rich experience told him that every word the boy in front of him said was impeccable, indicating that he had carefully prepared in advance, which just proved that he must know Hu Sheng's whereabouts.

What kind of person is Song Jiang? How could he be led by the nose by a young man? The smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "The little official may not know, but I think the father of the little official must know, I should visit your father That's right!"

   This is a threat on the surface, if you don't say it, then go to your father, Li Yanqing also changed his face, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law Ju, order some soup!"

  The custom in the Song Dynasty was to order tea for welcoming guests and soup for seeing off guests. If the host offered to order soup, it meant driving the guests away.

  Song Jiang stood up in embarrassment, arched his hands and said: "Anyway, I still want to thank the little officials for their hospitality. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. We will meet later!"

Li Yanqing sent him to the courtyard, and said slowly: "I'll put my ugly words first, my father doesn't know about Uncle Hu, if Song Guanren insists on going to my father, I can't stop him, but if my father has any problems , then don’t blame me, Li Yanqing, for coming to Liangshanbo to ask for advice.”

   Song Jiang's expression changed, he turned around and left in a hurry without saying a word.

  . ． ． ． ． ． ．

  Leaving Li Yanqing's house, Song Jiang rode slowly. This is his habit. He is cautious by nature and thinks twice before doing anything. He needs to sort out his thoughts before considering the next move.

   "Ruan Er, Ruan Wu!" Song Jiang called back, and Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu rushed forward immediately, "Brother, please order!"

   "I want to ask you, have you told Li Yanqing that we came from Liangshanbo?"

  Ruan Xiaoer quickly shook his head, "We will never reveal this secret!"

   "What about Ruan Wu?" Song Jiang turned to Ruan Xiaowu again.

   "Brother, I swear I never mentioned Liang Shanbo."

   Of course Song Jiang knew that the Ruan brothers were very strict, otherwise he would not have brought them out, and he was even more puzzled.

  Ruan Xiaoer noticed that Song Jiang's expression was wrong, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong?"

   "Strange, how did this Li Yanqing know that we came from Liangshanbo? I only told him that I am Song Jiang from Yunzhou."

  Li Kui grinned, "That means that big brother is famous all over the world!"

   "Nonsense! Even the Yuncheng government doesn't know that I am hiding in Liangshanbo, let alone this is Hebei West Road. How could he, a country boy, know that I came from Liangshanbo?"

   "So what do we do next?"

  Song Jiang shook his head, "Go back to the inn first, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

  Ruan Xiaoer hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I implore the elder brother to give the younger brother some face and spare this boy's life."

  Song Jiang glanced at him, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I have my own measure, and I won't let you be a villain!"
