17. The problem of waterways

Since Qin Si'an came to this world, looking at the downtown of the town from afar, and the smoke of the farmhouse from close, he has never had a real far-reaching door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoOn the way to the capital, it takes almost two months to go back and forth, and there is still plenty of time, as long as you go back before the year, Qin Si'an calculated in his heart, so he settled down, and wanted to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of this Yiguo along the way.

The autumn fields are like gold thrown from the sky, and the earth is covered with large swaths, and the heavy ears of grain are bent and full of words.

The clear blue sky, like an endless calm blue sea, looks like a delicate landscape painting, beautiful.

As early as the first night when she was sharpening, Qin Si'an changed into men's clothes, firstly, because it was indeed inconvenient to be a woman, and secondly, when she arrived at a place, it was convenient for her to walk around. This ancient means of transportation is really unsatisfactory. Often Qin Si'an has to rest many times a day, she is really tired, the carriage is not spacious, and the few of them just sit and don't care, if it weren't for Ah Wu often sitting outside the carriage, freeing up a piece of land for Qin Si'an to rest her legs, it is estimated that her life will be more difficult.

Finally survived for seven or eight days, and when they arrived at the restaurant of Yao's family in Pingli County, Qin Si'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, out of this Pingli County, this Fengle boundary is in the past, and then they will change the waterway, directly bypass Qingping, Guibao and arrive at Yuecheng, and then take a five-day carriage to the capital.

Pingli County, is the country of flowers of Fengle and even the country of wings, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the climate is pleasant, all year round, the flowers bloom undefeated, it is a famous ornamental holy land. As soon as he stepped into the realm, Qin Si'an was shocked by the moving beauty in front of him, such as Wenxin orchid, begonia, dahlias, phalaenopsis, hibiscus, hibiscus, cyclamen, canna.......... There are also many, many flowers that cannot be said, shimmering in the sun with colorful colors, forming a sea of flowers, making people feel as if they are in the world of flowers, forgetting all the distractions of the world.

Qin Si'an traveled all the way to the county seat, and the sea of flowers was basically uninterrupted, and they seemed to be a trickle, flowing quietly in every place in Pingli County. On the street, flower pots are placed in front of the doors, and flowers are everywhere here.

Yao's restaurant is still located in a prosperous area, and Qin Si'an sometimes thinks that this Yao's business is so big, and there are branches all over the country, which shows its financial resources and strength. Maybe this restaurant is just the tip of the iceberg of the Yao family.

Shopkeeper Song took Qin Si'an and the others straight to the back door, took out the waist card to show the guys, and after a while, a steward came to greet them. The person who came was familiar with the shopkeeper Song, they exchanged pleasantries, and after introducing Qin Si'an to him, the steward led a few people to take a break.

The steward's brief words revealed a lot of information, and the shopkeeper of this family set off as early as a month ago, because the waterway has not been very smooth recently, and the shopkeeper of their family has to choose to take a horse-drawn carriage to detour.

As for how the waterway is not very smooth, the steward did not elaborate, and the shopkeeper Song discussed it with Qin Si'an, and decided to wait for the steward's explanation to make a decision at night.

In the evening, several people sat in the living room, drinking tea and talking.

After understanding, Qin Si'an and the others finally knew the current situation of the waterway:

Two months ago, a group of people set up camp on an island on the waterway, specifically intercepting some passing boats, after catching people, asking the other party to write a letter to their home, asking for a huge ransom, if the money is obtained, let the person go, but the other party still refuses to let the other party go easily after getting the money, they will make a simple raft, cut the rope that binds the raft, let the other party drift away from the designated waters, the beautiful name: leave it to fate. If the hostages do not sail out of the water, and someone comes to the rescue, they are killed along with the people who came. The point is that so far, no one has sailed out of the designated waters, and many of the ships that have come to rescue people have not returned in the past few months......

"Didn't the local county government deal with this matter?" Shopkeeper Song couldn't help asking, how could such a big matter not be resolved until now, and still indulge the other party's careless life?

"It's been dealt with, but the people who went to encircle and suppress have never returned. Alas......" Steward Li sighed, "Look at the business of our store, it has been getting worse and worse day by day in the past few months. ā€

"Steward Li, may I ask if you have seen Wang Xie Yuan and Wang Anzhi?" For some reason, Qin Si'an suddenly thought of him and his lonely figure. He said before that he would go to the capital to save his relatives, so did he take the waterway?

"Wang Xie Yuan?" Steward Li's eyes widened, with a look of admiration, "I've never seen him, he has come to our Pingli County?"

"Well, almost three months ago, he passed through here and went to the capital to pay his relatives. Qin Si'an replied, she calculated the time, that group of vicious gangsters only appeared more than half a month after he left, it seems that she was wrong. Qin Si'an's eyes drooped lightly, hiding a trace of deep thought in his eyes.
