After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 88: Night investigation of food robbers

I don't know why, Zhu Jiangjiang has always been neurotic recently, and he likes to run into the fields at night, as if he has run into a ghost. ——This is Qin Feng's evaluation of Zhu Jiangjiang's abnormal state in the past few days.

No, on the second floor of Jinqiu Pavilion opposite Pei's house, Qin Feng once again saw Zhu Jiangjiang who was going out in the dark.

I forgot to mention that Jinqiu Pavilion was the name Wu Jinping gave to the house he built in Xiaohuang Village.

Wu Jinping originally wanted to name it Jinqiu Palace to reflect his past overlord status, but Zhu Jiangjiang persuaded him to change it to Jinqiu Pavilion, otherwise it would scare people who came to Xiaohuang Village.

It was already late at night, the autumn atmosphere was strong outside, and the cool wind was biting, she got up and went out secretly, without mentioning the lantern, and went out in the dark for a few days, what on earth did she want to do?

Qin Feng was very curious and was about to follow, when Wu Jinping's voice came from the next room beckoning him to come in and serve him.

He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​following Zhu Jiangjiang and go to the next door to serve him.

Dressed in black, Zhu Jiangjiang blended his already petite body into the darkness. He didn't even dare to walk in the middle of the road, so he could only walk carefully along the side of the rice field.

She looked at her dressed as a thief, but she didn't come out to be a thief, but came out to catch thieves.

In my memory, the robbery of grain in Jiangnan Town occurred during this period. Almost all the villages in Jiangnan Town that had crops were harvested at night.

Now the crops in Jiangnan Town have gradually turned golden, and the harvest is only a few days away. Those people who came out of nowhere are probably planning to do something right now.

Zhu Jiangjiang can't tell everyone to pay attention to people who steal food, she can only come out to find out the news by herself.

Because she didn't know which village the gang would steal from first, she could only come out every night to try her luck.

Of course, she didn't want to capture the gang of thieves by herself, she just wanted to confirm their whereabouts and lead someone to arrest them.

The night in late autumn was as cold as early winter, the moon in the sky was so small that it was almost invisible, and the surroundings were pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything without a lantern.

Relying on his familiarity with Xiaohuang Village, Zhu Jiangjiang groped all the way to the deserted official road.

There will be no decent passers-by there, but it will definitely be the best choice for those who steal food. If they don't take this road, they don't even want to transport the food out.

Zhu Jiangjiang hid himself in the ditch beside the road that had been abandoned for many years, and listened to the movement around him while resting.

Hopefully it won't be like the last few days, when there is nothing but the sound of the wind and scary birds and animals.

Not long after she lay down, and as soon as the vision in her heart was completed, she faintly heard a regular vibration.

With her ear pressed to the ground, she could hear it more clearly, and she was almost sure it was the sound of horseshoes.

But why did it sound like there was only one horse, and did the group only drive a carriage?

Just when Zhu Jiangjiang was puzzled, the sound of horseshoes stopped.

There is still a long distance from the crops in Xiaohuang Village, so it stopped so soon?

"Who are you, come out for me!"

A warning boy sounded from above his head, Zhu Jiangjiang felt a chill on his neck as soon as he raised his head.

Even in the dark night where she couldn't see her fingers, she still saw the cold light reflected from the sword that cut iron like mud.

Finished!

Stealing a chicken won't cost you a lot of rice. If the thief doesn't catch it, he will be caught by the thief first.

"Hero, please forgive me. I'm a villager from a nearby village. I'm late after I went out to do some errands today. I just passed by here to rest my feet before leaving. Don't kill me."

Zhu Jiangjiang will blurt out the speeches he has prepared, what a bad luck, a bad start!

If that person is cruel and wants to kill her no matter what, then she can only hide in the space.

Fortunately, the night was dark enough, so even if she used the space, she was not afraid of revealing her identity.

"I wish Jiangjiang?"

The man holding the sword against her neck hesitated to speak.

This person knows her?

That's really over. If you know her, once she hides in the space, she may save her life today, and she will probably be caught and burned as a sacrifice tomorrow.

"What Zhu Jiangjiang? Is that a human or a dog?" Zhu Jiangjiang could only play dumb.

Her words directly made the opposite person laugh.

The man put away the sword in his hand, took out the fire letter from his arms, blew twice, and the fingertip-sized flames ran out.

The small fire light had no effect in the endless night, and Zhu Jiangjiang still couldn't see the person on the opposite side clearly.

"Who would scold me like that, little lady." Pei Ji's face suddenly moved in front of the fire, making Zhu Jiangjiang jump.

"General Pei, it's you!"

Zhu Jiangjiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't you building a river embankment in Jiangbei Prefecture? Why do you appear here at night?"

"The construction of the embankment was temporarily suspended for a few days due to lack of materials, and I came back soon." Pei Ji explained to her softly.

"Then even if you come back, why don't you go back to your Pei Mansion and stay there, why are you coming to Xiaohuang Village?"

Zhu Jiangjiang patted the dirt on his body, "Oh, by the way, you are going to greet the Supreme Emperor, right? He is asleep now, and you came at a bad time."

"I'm here to see you." Pei Ji expressed his heart to her openly.

Again!

Zhu Jiangjiang rolled his eyes at him in the dark, ignoring his words.

Pei Ji knew that she was deliberately pretending not to hear, and he didn't want to put pressure on her, so he took the initiative to change the topic back, "It's so late at night, why did the little lady appear here?"

Don't say anything about stopping by, he doesn't believe it.

"Well..." Just as Zhu Jiangjiang was looking for some excuse to fool him, a burst of voices came suddenly.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, she blew off the fire letter in Pei Ji's hand, and pulled him to squat down again.

"Shh-"

She signaled Pei Ji to be quiet.

Although Pei Ji didn't know who she was hiding from, as long as it was something she wanted to do, he would cooperate with her unconditionally.

According to his experience on the battlefield, he could immediately tell how many soldiers and horses there were.

"There were seven people who came, their footsteps were disorderly and vain, less than three people had practiced kung fu, and there were three carriages."

Hearing his analysis, Zhu Jiangjiang immediately gave him a thumbs up, "The general is amazing!"

Being praised by her for the first time, Pei Ji felt a burst of satisfaction and joy in his heart.

In the past, in front of her, she could solve everything by herself, even many times he could only listen to her instructions, which made him feel that he was useless in front of her.

Today he finally felt that he had won in front of her once.

He still wants to win again, "Do you want to catch them? I have no problem with a pair of sevens."

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first."

Zhu Jiangjiang knew that he was strong in martial arts, but the group in front were not sure if they were food thieves, and if they acted rashly, they might startle the snake.

Moreover, she guessed that there were more than seven people who stole food, and seven people could not steal the whole town and cause a sensation.

There should be a party!
