Spring in Beijing Chapter 342: Saving People

In the winter, all the windows were closed, and even the door was blocked by a cotton curtain. The small window was opened wide, and there was a carriage underneath.

"wrong."

As soon as the two words were spoken, Jiang Xun took Jiang Da and ran back. As soon as he left the restaurant, he saw a man jumping out of the small window.

He shouted, "Who?"

The man, with his face covered, was so frightened that he ran wildly to another road.

Jiang Da went to chase the thief, and Jiang Xun ran over and opened the curtain of the carriage. He intuitively felt that there was someone in the carriage.

The carriage had high panels around it, but no roof. There were no seats inside, only two thick mattresses, with a woman on the mattress. The woman had passed out, and it was Jiang Yihui.

She must have been thrown from the small window.

Jiang Xun was shocked and shouted in a low voice, "Sister, eldest sister,"

Jiang Yihui seemed dead and did not wake up.

Their movements attracted two guards and Shui Ling, and the two guards followed Jiang Da closely.

Just as Shui Ling was about to scream, Jiang Xun stopped him, "Shh, don't scream. Go back quickly and don't leave my sister even half a step away."

Shui Ling agreed to join him and quickly went back to find his master.

Jiang Da and the guards came back.

"Second Master, that thief was too fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Will you call Master Cha?"

Jiang Xun said, "That's my eldest sister inside. Don't make any noise. Drive the carriage into the backyard."

For the sake of Jiang Yihui's reputation, he did not dare to publicize it.

Jiang Xun looked up to see which room the window was in, and ran into the restaurant.

When I went up to the second floor and opened the door, I saw Guo Jie crawling on the table, two women and a girl lying on the ground. There was food on the table, and the soup in the earthen pot was still steaming.

Jiang Xun was the first to run to Guo Jie. Fortunately, he was just unconscious. Looking at the three servants, they were also unconscious.

The small window was wide open, and most of the incense in the room should have drifted out, but he still covered his mouth and nose with one sleeve.

He pinched one of the women's men, and the woman suddenly woke up.

"Uncle?" She looked inside the room, "Oh my god, how could this happen? Where is grandma?"

At this time, Jiang Yixi, Zheng Tingting, and shopkeeper Guo walked in.

Jiang Xun said, "Don't make any noise, my eldest sister is in the backyard." He stopped shopkeeper Guo who wanted to speak, "We'll talk in the backyard."

Shui Ling pinched the other two people awake again.

Jiang Xun hugged Guo Jie, who was still unconscious, and they quickly went downstairs to the backyard.

Jiang Yihui was still in the carriage, and Jiang Da did not dare to touch her.

Shui Ling went over and carried Jiang Yihui into a side room. This room was reserved exclusively for Jiang Yixi. Although she had never used it, it was still kept spotless inside.

Jiang Da, Shui Ling, shopkeeper Guo and several other servants were guarding outside the house.

Jiang Yixi pinched Jiang Yihui awake.

Jiang Yihui was so frightened that she still covered her mouth with her hands and did not dare to scream.

She asked, "Why am I here?"

Jiang Xun briefly told the story and then asked, "What happened to you before you fell into coma?"

Jiang Yihui was so frightened that she was speechless with trembling lips.

A woman who was still sober said, "Grandma and my brother were having dinner when someone knocked on the door. The old slave opened the door. It was a woman holding a wooden doll, a knife, a sword and other small things in her hand. She asked

Brother, do you want it?

"The old slave said 'no', and the slave heard it and clamored for it. The grandma let her into the house. The slave liked the things in her hands very much and picked a few... The slave woke up and saw

The second master."

Jiang Yihui woke up completely, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried, "Is it possible that we met the thief who robbed people?"

Jiang Yixi consoled her, "Fortunately, Xun'er was alert and nothing happened to my eldest sister."

Jiang Yihui was scared and lucky. She held Jiang Xun's hand and cried, "Thank you, sister, thank you."

Jiang Xun comforted her a few words and then said, "What does the woman look like? Please tell her more carefully."

Jiang Yihui and the three servants recalled that they were of medium height, neither fat nor thin, slightly dark-skinned, wearing blue coarse cotton-padded jackets, and blue cloth handkerchiefs on their heads...

There's really nothing special about it.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Da recalled the thief who jumped from the building. He was short and thin. He was wearing a gray cloth gown with the hem tucked into his belt. He was masked so that his appearance could not be seen.

Jiang Xun called shopkeeper Guo in and asked him to go to the front hall to ask the waiter about the specific situation of the two people...

He was sure that the woman was gone.

Shopkeeper Guo agreed and went to the front hall.

Jiang Yixi looked at Jiang Xun with relief. This younger brother was not only talented in literature and martial arts, he was also alert, sharp, and decisive in killing. He was still so young, and he would become a great weapon in the future.

Zheng Tingting looked at Jiang Xun with eyes full of admiration and admiration, "Second Young Master Jiang is really good. You can see the difference in every detail. He is as good as my grandfather and Uncle Ji."

Jiang Yihui was even more grateful, "Xun'er, without you, my sister would be dead. Wuwuwu..."

Shopkeeper Guo came back more than a quarter of an hour later. The waiter still had some impression of the woman, but did not give any more detailed characteristics. He left a quarter of an hour before Jiang Yixi and the others came in. As for the man in gray, they did not notice it.

.

Everyone was disappointed.

Jiang Yixi said, "To do this, you must find someone with no characteristics. At least we know two things. The thief is thin and small. He did not do it alone, but he also has accomplices."

Jiang Xun added, "The woman hadn't gone far at that time. She was scouting the situation opposite the restaurant. When she saw nothing unusual, she would let the thief take action. The thief threw the eldest sister off the carriage first, and we happened to be here. The thief didn't dare

The next move. When we entered the restaurant, she signaled the thief to jump down, but to my surprise, I suddenly stepped back."

Jiang Xun glanced at Jiang Yihui and said, "Is this a clue? Report it to the official?"

Jiang Yihui hurriedly cried and begged, "No, I can't report to the official, otherwise my reputation will be gone. How can I survive?"

Jiang Xun said hurriedly, "Okay, I won't report it. With these two clues, reporting it won't be of much use."

Jiang Yixi said, "If you don't report it to the official, let's investigate it privately. You can't tell anyone about this matter."

She looked at Zheng Tingting.

"I won't tell anyone. I won't tell anyone. I'll get sores on my mouth. I swear."

Zheng Tingting swore a curse and was infinitely sincere.

Jiang Yixi said, "You can tell your grandfather and ask him to come to your house tomorrow."

Jiang Xun said to the women Juan very solemnly, "From now on, you must be more cautious and don't leave the house at will."

Jiang Yihui burst into tears again. She wanted to buy medicinal food in person to honor her mother-in-law. She wanted to take the road, not go to the toilet outside, and not let the servants leave her... Unexpectedly, something happened.

It was already late, so Jiang Yixi asked shopkeeper Guo to serve some random dishes.

After several people finished eating, they hurried back home, and Zheng Tingting lost interest in buying medicinal food.

Guo Jie only woke up when he was carried into the carriage.

Jiang Da sent them back to Guo Mansion.

The carriage that robbed people was brought back to Duke Cheng's Mansion. I will tell the old Duke about this matter, and then join forces with Zheng's Mansion to conduct a private investigation.

Returning to Duke Cheng's mansion, Jiang Xun took the carriage to the old Duke's study room.

Jiang Yixi went back to the inner courtyard directly.
