Chapter 1007: Hot Potato
Two days later, Xie Guang hurried to the pool and said to Li Lan, "Leave someone for you just in case, if something happens to you, I have to write off my great merit." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
So, only one person was left for her, and the other eight were taken away by Xie Guang.
The eight captains of the shepherd protection team all took their guys and Xie Guang out of Houwei Village. They did not return to the gold mines, but made a detour to the eastern boundary of the gold mines, and reached the north bank of the Chihe River six or seven miles away.
There was a boundless forest on the shore, and the nine of them zigzagged through the dense forest. Soon it dawned on the place behind the forest against the river beach, there were three lonely thatched huts, and the courtyard surrounded by bamboo lids was locked, and there was no one in it.
But there are two sets of fishing nets hanging in the courtyard, and the path leading to the Chihe River is covered with reddish-brown mastic ballast.
The water here is gentle, and the clay blocks that drift down with the water rise one after another, like a school of herring with bare backs under the water.
There are three bamboo rafts on the river in the distance, and one person on each side casts a net, and the fishing song is leisurely.
Xie Guang was fortunate enough to give orders to the leaders of the dignified Tianshan Shepherd Guardian Team for the first time, and he waved his hand at these people, "Lilan said, all of you have to listen to me today." β
"Yes, yes, Lord Xie, please command."
The team leaders are all at the top of the ninth grade, and Xie Guang is the one from the bottom of the ninth grade, but today's errand is really not stressful, and everyone is happy to listen to Xie Guang.
"This official sees that there are three people here, and many of us are not afraid of him. Today, the official will set up a large array of ten ambushes for you, and when they have scooped up all the glue, they will start to do it again - two to catch one, and two to protect the officer, so that no one escapes. β
Xie Guang and the two lurked behind the hut, and three herding teams were ambushed in the forest to the north of the riverbank, and three were ambushed in the south.
Three bamboo rafts lined up in the river, and it was the clay blocks in the water that were caught by the fishing nets.
In less than an hour, the bamboo raft docked. Three middle-aged men dressed as fishermen unloaded the clay blocks from the raft to the river, and without returning to the hut, they took hammers on the shore and smashed them open.
Xie Guang was extremely excited, and rushed out halfway, and when they finished smashing, they walked back empty-handed with a smile, opened the courtyard gate and went in to get food, and the shepherd team outflanked them.
There was no suspense in the result, and these three people only needed one captain to send them away. But they rummaged through the inside and outside of the hut, and on everyone's body, and there was not a single golden broad bean.
Among the nine people, only Xie Guang was wearing official robes, and the three of them begged loudly for mercy, "My lord, we just dislike the slippery mud on the river beach, and we scooped up some cement and smashed the mat road, what crime did we commit?" β
The shepherd team also asked, "Lord Xie, is your news accurate, the shepherd team is never empty!" How do you talk to the Ninth Lady when you go back...... It's not shameful enough to stir up a teacher. β
Xie Guang walked to the bank of the river, asked people to pull up the three bamboo rafts one by one, and bent down to take a closer look.
The herding team also divided up to check, and finally found that on a bamboo raft, there was a hole drilled in the end of a thick bamboo, which was plugged with a wooden plug very inconspicuously.
Xie Guang pulled out the wooden stopper, and the bamboo tube was full of golden beans.
The campaign is done! Xie Guang pouted conceitedly, looked up and looked around, but immediately shouted to the shepherds, "Everyone has run away!" β
The people divided into pursuits, but only two of them were held down on the river beach, and one of them burrowed into the forest and could not be found again.
Xie Guang immediately collected the gold and led people back to the Chihe gold mine, and the two furnace servants of the scattered gold warehouse Shi Houhai and the old and young were immediately arrested.
Xie Guang has eight King Kong protectors, which are violent, and the shelves are full of shelf. Whoever is not honest is beaten hard, if he says it slowly, he is beaten hard, and if he says it quickly, he doesn't know how to speak or he is beaten hard.
Half a day later, all the people were recruited. The gold thief is a gang centered on the gold melting furnace, there are miners who watch the warehouse, those who watch the scales, those who pound mud, and those who burn charcoal, and the biggest leader is Cangshi Hou Hai.
The shepherd team is in charge, and if they confess here, they will arrest one by one, while Xie Guang is busy drafting a good report to the Metropolitan Governor of Xizhou, and will take a cadre of prisoners into custody for disposal when the Metropolitan Governor arrives.
β¦β¦
Just when Xie Guang took away the herding team, the warm soup pool in Hou Wei Village, Lilan was held hostage. A guy found that Mrs. Nine was going out at noon, and behind Mrs. Nine was the person she took care of in the middle of the night last time.
He followed closely behind the ninth lady Lilan, holding Lilan's arm with one hand and swallowing the other in her sleeve, and the two walked out of the gate together.
Since it was an acquaintance of Lilan, the guy didn't think much about it.
And Lilan was regretting at this time, she shouldn't have sent the last team leader back to Xizhou to deliver a letter to Gao Jun. The more Xie Guang is holding the victory like this, the more Lilan is not at ease, Xie Guang has never been a reassuring person.
As soon as the people left, Chen Guojun came.
After Chen Guojun escaped near the LΓΌguang Pavilion, he sneaked back to Hou Wei Village at night, he saw Xie Guang leaving with people, and knew that his chance had come, he hijacked Lilan, hid a dagger in his sleeve, and threatened Lilan not to let her scream.
He took her to Hou Hai's house and lurked down, hoping to take her south after dark, over the green ridge to the land of Yibidu, and never to return.
While waiting for dark, Chen Guojun tied Lilan's mouth to the bed, scaring Hou Hai's cousin from Baicheng so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Chen Guojun was extremely impatient and asked her to go to the stove to get food quickly, and then prepare dry food for them on the road.
Lilan looked at her for help and motioned to the street. Sure enough, no matter how this woman looked at Chen Guojun, she was not a good person, she took advantage of Chen Guojun's inattention, suddenly dropped the fire on the stove, opened the door and escaped from the yard.
Chen Guojun's anger was extremely corrupt, and he gestured with a dagger on Lilan's face, "If you can't take it away, you'll be dead, and if you can't die, you'll be a cripple, and you won't be able to cripple this beautiful face...... I don't keep it for the surname Gao. β
Lilan was too frightened to move, and said that you might as well kill me. Suddenly heard a movement at the gate of the courtyard, probably Xie Guang brought someone to rescue, but who knew that it was two strangers who came in, bringing back the woman who had just run out.
Chen Guojun said nervously, "Prime Minister, why did you come here?" β
"Are you really idle, thinking it's too peaceful here?" Hou Hai has already happened, and Xie Guang will bring someone here soon! β
Chen Guojun said, "Prime Minister, let's take Lilan to Qiuzi City at this time, I don't want to leave her." β
Nali ordered someone to untie Lilan and said to Chen Guojun, "Nali and Master Gao have long known each other, how could they rob his Ninth Lady?" β
Lilan learned that she didn't have to leave, so she was relieved, and she didn't know that Nali said again, "However, the Ninth Lady has to do something for Qiuzi City, otherwise you don't even have to go out of this courtyard." β
Lilan said, "As long as you don't let me go to Qiuzi City, things can always be discussed." β
Nali said, "The gold mine incident happened, and sooner or later it will implicate Qiuzi." Gao Jun will definitely not give up, Mrs. Nine, as long as you wait for him to arrive and wait for Lord Gao well, our deal will be completed. β
Lilan said, "This couldn't be easier, if the prime minister doesn't command, I will also wait for my family's tall man, but the tall man has never come to Shaya City, I miss him." β
After hearing this, Chen Guojun shouted in pain, "Prime Minister can't do it, I can't leave her behind!" β
Nali smiled, "Lord Chen, even the Ninth Lady and a woman know that the transaction must be bargained, but where is your capital?" You're not as good as a woman! β
Chen Guojun lowered his head in despair, and Lilan asked, "Cheng Xiang, I don't know how Lilan wants to serve him?" β
"It's very simple, put a pool of lukewarm water and let him soak well." If Mrs. Nine wants to press him, it's okay. I heard that after the six ladies in the tall family's family left, his beard has not been shaved, and you have to shave him. β
Li Lanjiao smiled, "This kind of thing...... Why did the prime minister come to order, how did the prime minister know that I couldn't be more thoughtful? Maybe when the tall man is happy, he will press it for Lilan, don't worry about the prime minister? β
Chen Guojun was in great pain, Lilan didn't look at him, but asked Nali, "It's just that Lilan doesn't understand, this is all Lilan's family matter, how can you talk about what kind of business?" β
Nali said disapprovingly, "On the way down to Shaya City, I received a secret message that the parents of the Ninth Lady and the Seventh Lady were already on their way to Qiuzi City, and it was estimated that they should also enter the city at this moment. β
This time it was Lilan's turn to widen her eyes in surprise, "The prime minister is really good at joking, this, how is this possible?" β
"The Ninth Lady thinks that at this moment today, I still have the heart to joke with you! You wait for Lord Gao to arrive, you don't have to wait for him in a hurry, just ask him to send someone to Pegasus Xizhou and ask about the whereabouts of Zheng Zhishan in the weaving field. Don't ask your parents directly, they will be suspicious! β
Lilan was speechless, her face serious and pale.
Then listen to Nali Dao, "If the news is true, you can take care of him with peace of mind, I believe that no matter how clever Master Gao is, he will not take any precautions against the Ninth Lady......"
"Such as ...... How is it?! β
"It's very simple, with a beauty like the Ninth Lady waiting to shave and soak in the pool, he must be extremely comfortable, and it is possible to take a nap. All you have to do is slash it around his neck with a knife! King Suva of Qiuzi City has always been overly meritorious, and when the time comes, he will take the Ninth Lady into the city to meet her parents. β
Lilan only felt that for a moment, her heart beat and she lost a number, and countless right and wrong thoughts came up together, and she couldn't tell each other apart. She felt dizzy in her head and collapsed on the bed.
Chen Guojun hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help.
But Lilan opened her eyes and said to him weakly and angrily, "Don't touch me...... I thought you were just standing unsteadily, but who knew that you had already knelt down! Chen Guojun was ashamed and retracted his hand.
Nali said, "Mrs. Nine, if I don't believe you, your parents are in Qiuzi City, so I will leave a henchman in Houwei Village to be a buddy for you." As long as you wait for Lord Gao to serve well, he will send a message to the flying pigeon in Guizi City. I should personally lead my troops out of the city to meet you, and you don't have to be afraid of the Xizhou people seeking revenge. But if you play tricks and ask your husband not to have parents, you should know the consequences. β
After that, Na Li Chong's subordinates signaled that it was time to go, and they left one person behind, and then pulled up the stunned Chen Guojun and Hou Hai's little cousin and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
As long as you sneak in the woods outside the village until dark, you can bypass the checkpoint and go straight to Qiuzi.
The people who stayed behind were in their early thirties, lean, and bowed to Lilan and said, "Lady Nine, villain Yeli, follow the orders of Lady Nine." β
Lilan ignored him and got up and walked out of the courtyard, Yeli following behind her. On the street, she saw Xie Guang, the manager of the Chihe gold mine, arrive with people.
Xie Guang said, "Lilan! Where are you going? I can't find you in the warm soup, I really think that this great credit will be ruined because of you. β
An accompanying team of guards pointed to Yeli and asked Lilan, "Who is he?" β
Lilan said weakly, "He...... He's my new buddy......"
Xie Guang waved his hand, "The two of you will go with me to arrest Hou Hai's cousin, this is an important criminal, and the official will interrogate her overnight!" The rest is to protect Lilan...... It scares the hell out of me! β
Everyone broke up, not to mention that Xie Guang went to Hou Hai's house to pounce on him, Lilan straightened her eyes, returned to the warm soup like stepping on cotton, threw herself on the bed, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Naliben brought men out to receive the first batch of gold in the month of La.
Not long after he came out, he met Zheng Zhishan and the others who came in a hurry outside Qiuzi City. They were driving a car, and in the car were Lirong and Lilan's parents.
Turtles sent a letter and told them to hurry back. This has fully expressed the extreme disappointment of Qiuzi City after they entered the ranch village.
Zheng Zhishan was panicked, and after he went back, he couldn't avoid being reprimanded harshly. But it's a!
At the beginning, it was smooth sailing, and he successfully obtained several big shares of Master Cao, and naturally entered the silk weaving field, and he was able to point fingers.
But in the end, it was these two hundred and five brothers who made them disgraced. None of the serious officials in the ranch village came forward, and they couldn't find someone to reason. If you have to distinguish it hard, the soles of the shoes will be photographed!
Before leaving, Zheng Zhishan was a little reluctant to throw away the two big stocks that he was about to throw away, but after returning to Qiuzi City, it was useless.
His lieutenant came up with the idea that we had only come here to cause trouble, and in the end we would add some trouble to him, and that he might be praised by the king when he returned to the city.
He whispered to Zheng Zhishan, "Ranch Village has been negligent in guarding recently, Gao Jun and Su Sima are not here, why don't we rob Mrs. Cui and that girl, we are not afraid of not shocking the earth." β
The two thought it was feasible, prepared a carriage in advance, and ran to the old village in the middle of the night to climb Mrs. Cui's yard.
Zheng Zhishan stepped on the shoulder of his deputy, and as soon as he came up, a little white dog jumped out and barked at them. Then the lights in the side room came on, and the servants and maids came out one after another.
Zheng Zhishan shrank his head and saw a patrol of herding teams appear from the direction of the silkworm room. They fled westward, and when they reached the West Village, they suddenly said, "This is fine!" β
Hearing that there was no one chasing behind him, Zheng Zhishan stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door of Lirong's parents, and after a long time, the old man came out in his clothes and asked, "Who is it?" β
Zheng Zhishan whispered to the door, "Uncle! Something is wrong, the ninth lady Lilan suddenly fell ill with an unknown illness in Shaya City, and has been in a coma for two days, we are here to pick up the second elder! β
β¦β¦
At this moment, in Qiuzi City, Su Fa looked at Zheng Zhishan and the two of them who were wagging their tails, and wanted to cry without tears. They traveled thousands of miles, bypassed the pass, and had no place to pass, and they were able to bring two hot potatoes to Qiuzi City.
What a skill!
Suvar asked, "What are you asking them to do?" Well? Do you have two big shares in your arms and money, and you want to do your filial piety for the seventh and ninth ladies of the tall people in Xizhou? β
He looked at the two living treasures, frowned and asked:
