"Wang Laoshi, did you hear that our Linjiang County Commander plans to lead everyone to plant two crops of rice, is it true or false? This is no joke, and if it fails, even the prefectural order will not be able to take on this responsibility. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The person who asked this question was a villager from a nearby township who came to Linjiang County to return home from his relatives.

"You don't know this, the two crops of rice were not made by the county magistrate. You all know Madam Qin, right? As soon as there was a topic, Wang Laoshi immediately came to his senses, took the teapot and added some hot water to everyone, and asked.

"Mrs. Qin, who makes tofu, who else in Linjiang County doesn't know" People nodded one after another.

"Mrs. Qin is not an ordinary woman, she is the reincarnation of a fairy in the sky, who came to the world to bring us blessings, these two crops of rice were made by Mrs. Qin herself with the villagers, and her experimental field is about twenty miles past here, I often see Mrs. Qin passing by. Sometimes she would stop and have a hot cup of tea in our little tea shed. Wang honestly said proudly.

"Then what does Mrs. Qin look like?" Someone asked curiously.

"Of course Mrs. Qin looks like a fairy, she is the reincarnation of a fairy, is it possible to grow up like you?!" The crowd erupted in laughter.

Zhao Wenjie listened on the side, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "Two crops of rice?" You can still toss it! But seeing how highly people admired her, a sense of pride welled up in his heart: That's the woman I fancied!

"The county magistrate also said that the two-crop rice is the first test in Linjiang County, and it is up to everyone to decide whether to plant it or not, and it will not be reluctant." Wang is honest, tell everyone what he heard.

"Of course we have to plant, we all believe in Mrs. Qin, if it really succeeds, it will be twice as much food! This year, the official document of the imperial court said that I would have to pay an extra 30% of the grain tax, and it is estimated that the whole family will be hungry for just so much land in my family. ”

"It's not ......" people nodded in agreement, remembering the imperial court document a while ago, a trace of sorrow flashed on everyone's faces, even the businessmen.

If the grain of the peasant households is handed over to the imperial court, there will be much fewer people willing to sell, and the price of grain will certainly rise in the coming year.

"I just came out of Linjiang County, there seems to be something big happening in the city, the city gate is much stricter, and the city is also full of officials and fast patrols, people are speculating, but there are different opinions, and there is no certainty, Wang Laoshi, you have a lot of news, do you know what happened?" A young man dressed as Sven asked, looking like a scholar.

"This incident started yesterday evening, I don't know the specifics, but looking at the posture, it is a bit similar to the kidnapping of the young master of Wang Yuanwai's family a few years ago, isn't there another rich man who has been kidnapped?" Wang Laoshi has opened a tea shed for more than ten decades and has some insight.

"Yes, I think those arresters are looking for those gangsters to question, and I heard that a lot of people have been arrested!"

"Which young master and young lady did you say was kidnapped? The young master is okay, if the young lady is kidnapped, will she marry out in the future? ”

"I think it's a young lady, so far I haven't leaked any rumors, I guess I have to keep my reputation first, if it's a young master, just search with fanfare."

Everyone: "Uh-huh...... It must be so. ”

......

Much of the conversation that followed revolved around how martial law was imposed in the city, and the people here let their imaginations run wild, and no less than five versions of the story spread in a short period of time.

Although Zhao Wenjie didn't say anything on the side, his ears were always pricked up, filtering the exaggerated elements in these words and analyzing the authenticity of them.

"Wang is honest, isn't it Zhang Zhengmin who is the county magistrate of Linjiang County now? The one in Baili Village? Zhao Wenjie beckoned to Wang Laoshi.

"Yes, he and Mrs. Qin are brother and sister!" Where do ordinary people dare to call the name of the county order, but Wang honestly saw Zhao Wenjie's momentum, and knew at a glance that it was an official, estimated to be bigger than the county order, so he replied only at the moment.

"Did you see Mrs. Qin go to the experimental field yesterday?" Zhao Wenjie frowned slightly when he heard this, and he had a faint uneasy intuition in his heart.

"Yes, Mrs. Qin passed by me on a horse yesterday, and I even greeted her." Wang's so-called greeting is nothing more than a guest officer, do you want to go into the store to rest and drink hot tea?

However, in the eyes of others, he seems to have a close relationship with Shumin, at least he can say a few words to the legendary characters.

"Did you see her come back? When did you come back? Zhao Wenjie continued to inquire.

"This ...... I was very busy yesterday, but I didn't pay attention to it. Wang honestly thought for a while and said.

"Hehe, you go get busy, I'll just ask at will." Zhao Wenjie took out a dime of silver, handed it to Wang Laoshi, and said, "Do you know where Mrs. Qin's experimental field is?" ”

"Keep going to the official road, turn around at the fork in the road, and pass through a pine forest." Wang Laoshi took the dime of silver and said with a happy face.

"There are officers and soldiers in the handle, and ordinary people can't go in." At the end, he kindly reminded.

Since Jeongmin knew that Shumin was there to test the two crops of rice, he sent a part of the officials to guard it, and this decision was very wise, because when the news of the two crops of rice spread, many people wanted to break in and have a look, no matter what kind of psychology they had.

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, Zhao Wenjie didn't talk nonsense, and when he came out of the tea shed and exhaled gently, the black wind rushed over by himself. Zhao Wenjie turned over and got on the horse vigorously, and the black wind immediately disappeared, and everyone was stunned and envious in their hearts.

"Through this pine forest?" Riding into the forest, Hei Feng slowed down, Zhao Wenjie looked at this pine forest that was not big or small, and had a plan in his heart.

If he was a kidnapper, he would have chosen such a location, along the way, needless to say, the official road is not remote, and there is no particularly good place to hide, and this pine forest is an excellent ambush location.

He had already decided that the kidnapped person was Shumin, and his instincts had never been missed, except for the secret search of the county order, and his instincts he had never trusted.

Turn over and dismount and walk in the pine forest, the terrain of the pine forest is not flat, and the pine trees are thick and thin, which is a natural reproduction of old pine forest.

With intuition and experience accumulated over the years, Zhao Wenjie quickly found several of the best ambush spots in this pine forest.

"If it were me, I would definitely choose this place." He leaned against a thick pine tree, and looked up, the pine branches were dense, covering the sky, and he could only see the broken sunlight shining through the gaps.

In a breath, he went up the tree, examined it closely, and found that there was indeed a mark on the trunk with dirt.

"This is a sentry, so the one who does it should be somewhere else." Zhao Wenjie looked at the direction of the test field from the trunk of the tree, and faintly saw the place where the trail had not entered.

He didn't say a word, a few ups and downs together, and he reached the exact point where Shumin's accident happened, looking at the pine needles falling on the ground and dragging them again, his eyes were cold, and even the temperature in the pine forest seemed to drop a few degrees.

"There should have been three or four people, no horseback riding, no signs of struggle, they should have been stunned or knocked unconscious and carried away." He didn't call the black wind either, and Gu Zi chased after him with his intuition......

The ransom of five thousand taels is not a small amount, the official silver of the yamen cannot be moved, and in Baili Village, Zhengmin has not yet figured out how to speak, so he has to ask the shopkeeper Zhang to borrow it first, and the shopkeeper Zhang is naturally obliged, but five thousand taels is not five hundred taels, and he feels that it is necessary to communicate with the one from Merlin.

Inside the Merlin, the falling Ying is colorful, Huangpu Chuyu is dressed in white brocade and plain clothes, sitting opposite Zhuge Qiqi, holding a black chess piece, the falling pieces are sonorous, and the white pieces on the chessboard are frequently defeated, and the tilting is only in a moment.

"Don't play, this is the ninth set, and it's not interesting for me to lose all the games." Zhuge Qiqi's armrest disrupted the chessboard and said angrily.

"Your heart is not quiet" Chu Yu didn't care, and began to clean up the chessboard with his hand, picking up the black and white pieces one by one.

"It seems that the person who is not quiet is you, I am not good at chess, but I still have some ability to see people's hearts, you seem to be a little impetuous in the past two days, thinking about people outside, right?!" Zhuge Qiqi leaned his hands on his chest and said with a smile.

"Concubine Xuan is here, and you are also talking nonsense." Chu Yu's hand to clean up the chess pieces paused, threw the chess pieces to the chessboard, put the chessboard aside, and said angrily.

"Don't worry, Concubine Xuan is most at ease with you, if she knows that your iron tree is blooming again, it's too late to rejoice!" Zhuge Qiqi said disapprehantly.

As he spoke, a gray dove fluttered its wings and landed on the plum tree, cooing.

"Another letter came. This is the pigeon of the Drunken Wind House. Zhuge Qiqi grabbed the pigeon and untied the sticky notes on its feet. Before he could read it, he was snatched away by Chu Yu.

"Bastard!" After reading the content of the note, Chu Yu was furious and punched the plum tree, and the plum blossoms fell one after another, and there was not a single petal left.

He was annoyed in his heart, Shumin was kidnapped for such an important matter, and Shopkeeper Zhang actually reported it a day after the incident.

Thinking that Shu Min had been kidnapped for a day, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to get out immediately.

"You calm down, it's only the sixth day today, you can't be disguised yet, let me help you with this matter." Zhuge Qiqi also read the content at this time and knew his mood, but the sequelae of the disguise technique were at least seven days off a month, otherwise there would be a danger of disfigurement.

He didn't want to see such a beautiful face ruined in his own hands, not because he cherished Chu Yu so much, but because it didn't fit his pursuit of disguise techniques.

"No, I have to go out." Chu Yu was very insistent, "You give me a way, as long as you don't reveal my identity." ”

"Then bring a mask." Zhuge Qiqi said helplessly. (To be continued.) )
