Chapter 7 One wave is uneven, and one wave rises again

At this time, in a room separated by a wall, Leng Xuanrong sat on the bed in a daze, and she was thinking hard.

Looking back on today's events, Leng Xuanrong suddenly had an indescribable sense of crisis in her heart.

Before, she thought that after her rebirth, she could control everything according to the memory of her previous life. She thought that since she knew what would happen, she would definitely stop it, but now she understands that the fixed trajectory of her previous life has changed with her rebirth.

Now Zeng Yanliang has been involved in this robbery of official silver as in his previous life. I'm afraid it's not so easy to get him out now.

The robbery of Guanyin will definitely have new changes because of Zeng Yanliang's disappearance. Leng Xuanrong is a little afraid. Although she has rescued Yan Liang now, hiding in this old house is definitely not a long-term solution. What to do in the future is completely impossible for Leng Xuanrong now.

What's more, according to the development of her previous life, she will soon have to deal with a disaster that came to her father. I don't know if the robbery of Guanyin will have any impact on that matter, and if she really succeeds in that matter, I don't know if it will have any new impact on their father and daughter and Yan Liang in turn.

Everything changed in an instant, and Leng Xuanrong seemed to suddenly walk to a strange place from a familiar road. The fear of her previous life seemed to be mixed in the repressed night, eroding Leng Xuanrong little by little. She suddenly felt that a cold wind was blowing behind her neck. As long as she closed her eyes, it was as if there was a steel knife about to cut it off.

Leng Xuanrong got into the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, but even so, she still felt as cold as winter around her. Her body kept trembling and her teeth clucked.

Fear.

Maybe it's better to really die...

Such an idea flashed through Leng Xuanrong's mind, and Leng Xuanrong shook her head violently.

No, if she really died at that time, if she didn't return to the past, then Brother Yan Liang would not lie safely in the hall separated by a wall now.

She thought so much that she didn't sleep all night.

In the next few days, Leng Xuanrong took good care of Zeng Yanliang, and then went out to inquire about the news every day.

Guanyin was robbed, and the county officials who participated in the escort and the light cavalry captains directly under the Criminal Department were killed. This incident soon spread throughout Nayan County. After the bodies of the servants were pulled back, people found that only Zeng Yanliang was not among them.

For a while, various rumors spread among the market.

Not long after, Nayan County posted a notice outside the county government, saying that Zeng Yanliang and the robbers should rob inside and outside. After robbing the official bank, they fled, and now there is a reward for arresting them.

When Leng Xuanrong told Zeng Yanliang the news, Zeng Yanliang was afraid again. I didn't expect everything to be right by Leng Xuanrong. The only fortunate thing is that no one seems to have thought that Zeng Yanliang would hide in Nayan County, so the people sent by the county government went to Nayan County, and no one has come to check the old house so far.

Zeng Yanliang's willingness to hide in the old house behind closed doors to recover from her wounds made Leng Xuanrong breathe a sigh of relief, but what she didn't expect was that her father seemed to be frightened during this period and did not go out for several days.

Leng Xuanrong knows what her father is afraid of, but she can't tell her father now that what he is afraid of will not happen for the time being.

Now Leng Xuanrong is worried about another thing. If his father has never gone to the casino, the casino will definitely send someone to find him, either softly persuade him to gamble or force him to pay off his gambling debts. No matter which one, Brother Yan Liang will not sit idly by. If he comes out, his identity will be exposed.

Although she has been thinking so, Leng Xuanrong really couldn't open her frightened father to gamble again. She really regretted saying that that night. In fact, she really meant that she wanted her father to be on guard.

Just when Leng Xuanrong was full of troubles, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the old house.

The person who came was not in Leng Xuanrong's expectation at all. In fact, Leng Xuanrong in his previous life had no intersection with this person at all.

"My surname is Han, and I am the shopkeeper of the Ink Pavilion."

The middle-aged man standing in front of Leng Xuanrong looks 40 or 50 years old, smiling and wearing luxurious silk. The person behind him, Leng Xuanrong knows, who is the man Leng Xuanrong met in their store that day.

The clerk was holding two big bags in his hand, and his face was full of a flattering smile. I guess it was the Korean shopkeeper who asked him to do this.

Leng Xuanrong looked them up and down and asked coldly, "What's wrong with Shopkeeper Han?"

The shopkeeper Han took a step forward with a smile and bowed his hand and said, "I'm here to visit Mr. Leng." With that, he turned around and gave the little guy a color, and then said to Leng Xuanrong, "Please accept these small gifts."

The night cat entered the house and had nothing to do. Leng Xuanrong looked at the smile of shopkeeper Han and felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Looking at the dress of the shopkeeper Han, he should be a very fastidious person. If it hadn't been for anything important, he would not have come here deliberately, and he also brought gifts, which shows that what he wants to say is not simple.

Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong also smiled and said, "It's really a little unfortunate that my father has been resting in bed recently, and the little woman is inconvenient to treat guests. Please forgive me."

When the shopkeeper Han heard the words, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he immediately lowered his head to hide it. When he raised his head, his face was still the same smile, "In this case, Han will not bother. Please ask Miss Leng to bring a word to your father and say... I admire the style of Leng Shilang and come back to visit another day."

When he said this, the shopkeeper Han stared at Leng Xuanrong. He deliberately dragged the three words "Leng Shilang" and saw that Leng Xuanrong did show a surprised look, so he waved his hand to the little guy and left the old house with satisfaction.

Leng Xuanrong stood in front of the door like a wooden clay sculpture.

Only ten days after rebirth, things have changed so much.

Leng Xuanrong's heart pounded. She clenched her fist, took a long breath, closed the door and returned to the room.

Zeng Yanliang saw Leng Xuanrong's pale face when she came back and hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with Xuanrong? Is there something wrong?"

Leng Xuanrong nodded slightly.

Zeng Yanliang sighed and said to Leng Xuanrong, "There will always be a day when everything will be white in the world. Now we can only listen to fate."

Leng Xuanrong knew that Zeng Yanliang was mistaken. She looked up and said to Zeng Yanliang, "The shopkeeper of Kunyan Moge just came to visit her father."

What Zeng Yanliang said just now just hit the pain in Leng Xuanrong's heart. She sat down at the table and said after a long time, "The so-called truth in the world is just the need and need of powerful people."

At this time, Zeng Yanliang also came to sit down at the table. Leng Xuanrong looked at him and whispered, "Brother Yan Liang, the man just now has nothing to do with you. I'm afraid he will come to trouble our father and daughter."

Zeng Yanliang was stunned when he heard the words. He knew that the shopkeeper of Ganyan Moge, whose name was Han Zhongyi, was a well-sighted figure in Ganyan County and even Wuming County. It is said that the owner of the Moge is a senior official in the imperial city, and the business below is fully handed over to the shopkeeper. Han Zhongyi probably relies on the owner behind him to do so.

Why did such a person come to trouble Leng Xuanrong and his daughter?

Leng Xuanrong saw that Zeng Yanliang had some doubts. She didn't want to hide her father's things from Zeng Yanliang, and she also guessed that even if she wanted to hide it now, she was afraid she couldn't hide it.

"Brother Yan Liang, I didn't mean to hide my affairs with my father from you." Leng Xuanrong looked back at his father's room and said in a low voice to Zeng Yanliang, "Our father and daughter were actually hunted down and killed, that's why they fled to this Yan County."

Zeng Yanliang suddenly found that his brain was not enough. He looked at Leng Xuanrong and the room over there. He couldn't figure out why the two of them were hunted down.

Leng Xuanrong didn't care about it. She told Zeng Yanliang all the previous things.

"My father's name is Cheng Qi, and he was the sixth in the top of the Yuan Annuity List. Later, he became the servant of the Military Affairs Department. In the official position, my father offended the senior officials in the court with heavy fists and was persecuted by them, so my father could only take me to abandon the official and escape. Unexpectedly, the senior official did not give up when his father died. In a few years, our father and daughter went through life and death and finally fled here. The father was disheartened and only wanted to have a place to live before death. Our father and daughter would not expose the wilderness, so we bought this old house with the rest of the money.

Speaking of this, Leng Xuanrong's nose was sore and almost shed tears. She took a deep breath, held back her tears, and then said, "I didn't expect that we had hidden here and had not been found... But just now, the Han shopkeeper said his father's official position... I'm afraid he knows it all."

Zeng Yanliang, who was listening next to him, was really shocked at this time. He never thought that the gambling-loving old man hiding in the next room was actually a senior official in the court!

The servant of the Military Affairs Department, Zeng Yanliang broke his finger and silently calculated it for a long time. That was the official position of the fourth grade! The county magistrate of Ganyan County is Zhengqi grade. In this way, he is three grades higher than the magistrate's official!

No wonder the old man said that the county magistrate was a petty official that day...

Zeng Yanliang looked up at Leng Xuanrong again. At this time, he suddenly realized that he felt that she was different from the first time he saw her. She was the daughter of a waiter. Even if she was in trouble, she must be different from ordinary women in small families.

After being stunned for a while, Zeng Yanliang thought about one more thing. The words Leng Xuanrong said when he found him in Fengquanling that day, and later Zeng Yanliang found many incomprehensible places when he carefully recalled them. For example, why did Leng Xuanrong know that the people involved in escorting the official silver were light cavalry captains? Now I think about it, Leng Xuanrong should have lived in the imperial city with her father when she was a child. The light cavalry captain was directly under the criminal department. I heard that they sometimes cooperated to control the public security of the imperial city...

So it is...

So Leng Xuanrong's accurate insight into officialdom is also related to her father's experience...

Zeng Yanliang slowly straightened out these things in his mind, and the doubts lingering in his heart these days seemed to be able to explain them all at once.

When he broke away from his meditation and looked at Leng Xuanrong, he found that she frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.
