Chapter 134: Dumbfounded
The waiter has no white face, his chubby round face is like a white-faced steamed bun, and his shallow smile seems harmless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, those who are familiar with him know that this dead eunuch is definitely not a good person, he can climb to his current status at the age of less than thirty, and he has killed countless opponents along the way.
Qi Jin's heart was secretly vigilant, he knew that what the other party said was by no means untargeted, and he must have found something.
Could it be that the Jinyi Guard, who secretly infiltrated Wumeng, has already discovered some secrets of the Qi family?
Seeing that Qi Jinzhi didn't speak, the chamberlain said in a sharp voice, "What? Is there anything difficult about the Qi Governor's Mansion? Or is this place untouchable? β
The three words 'can't go' are bitten very clearly, and the warning is full of meaning.
Qi Jinzhi pinched his palm, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The angel said that you are laughing, you patrol the sky on behalf of the sky, and wherever you go is like a saint in person, how can there be a place where you can't go." Qi was just thinking that it was appropriate to take that path. β
As he spoke, a little embarrassment appeared on Qi Jinzhi's face, "Wumeng's situation, the angels have probably seen it, and the road situation is very bad." The place that the angel said is the hinterland of mountains and forests, and there are no official roads, only a few rugged mountain roads to walk......"
Qi Jinzhi looked at the body of the servant Fafu with deep meaning, "What a noble person an angel, the mountain road is bumpy, Qi is worried about you-" I can't bear it!"
The waiter snorted coldly, and only said: "Okay, okay, let's stop saying these polite words, it's not too early, it's important to get down to business." β
Qi Jinzhi hurriedly responded: "What the angel said is, let's set off." β
When Qi Jinzhi was pulling around, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he glanced at Qi Dayong.
Qi Dayong understood, took a dozen brothers on the horse, and opened the way in front.
Qi Jinzhi personally sent the chamberlain to the carriage, and then got on the horse with Xiao Twenty-nine, and the group drove all the way to the southwest.
An hour later, the crowd arrived at Xiaoxi Mountain.
Qi Jinzhi hit his horse and came to the carriage and knocked on the window.
The waiter was sweating profusely, and poked his head out impatiently, "Arrived?" β
Qi Jinzhi smiled: "Not yet." We happened to pass by the clumsy plantation, didn't the angel say that we would investigate it thoroughly, why don't we go to the plantation first? β
Xiao Twenty-nine also followed, and he was not as polite as Qi Jinzhi to the inner servant.
I saw him sitting on horseback, and said in a condescending cold voice: "The master has repeatedly told me that I must return Gu Yiren's innocence." Since we're passing by, let's go over and take a look. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, you and I have seen it with our own eyes, and when we return to Beijing, we can also explain to Your Majesty and my master. β
The arrogant chamberlain encountered the more arrogant Xiao Twenty-nine, and immediately withered, he was not afraid of Xiao Twenty-nine, but afraid of the master behind him.
Tsk, this chamberlain has been in the palace for twenty years, but he has seen the master's 'style' back then.
That's called a domineering, that's called a willful, even the Supreme Queen Mother and the Emperor don't dare to provoke easily.
Not to mention these lowest-ranking eunuchs.
It's a death!
The waiter wiped the sweat on his forehead again and again, and said with an almost flattering smile: "Yes, yes, what Guard Xiao said is true." β
He turned his head to look at Qi Jinzhi, "What, Lord Qi, let's go to the plantation first." β
Qi Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly ordered someone to turn around, and directly led the group up the mountain.
After entering the mountain pass, I walked on the narrow and uneven mountain road, and after not going far, I saw a circle of bewitching flowers.
"Warbler cornflower?"
The waiter leaned weakly on the window of the car, looking outward, trying to relieve his physical discomfort by diverting his attention.
But as soon as he saw the legendary 'poisonous flower', he suddenly came to his senses, and a fat finger pointed to the sea of flowers not far away, and shouted sharply: "This is the warbler corn?" Gu, Gu Yiren really planted warbler millet? β
Qi Jinzhi rode aside, and when he heard this, he didn't even care and said: "Yes, didn't Humble Jing say it a long time ago, she saw that the warbler corn flowers were blooming beautifully, so she specially planted some around the plantation. β
"This, this...... You, you know what we mean! β
The chamberlain was dissatisfied with Qi Jinzhi's idiotic gaze, and shouted angrily.
Of course, Qi Jinzhi understood what the chamberlain meant, and he deliberately said this, but he just wanted to 'repay' the arrogance of the 'angel'.
Qi Jinzhi pretended not to understand and said, "What did the angel say?" Qi-"
The waiter is not a stupid person in the end, and at this time, he also understood that Qi Jinzhi was pretending to be stupid and wanted to get angry, but Xiao Twenty-nine Lang was not far away.
Gritting his teeth vigorously, the chamberlain said: "Qi Yao's accusation that Gu Yiren colluded with gangsters to plant warbler poisonous flowers, intending to make highly poisonous/medicine, and now a large area of poisonous flowers has been found in the plantation under Gu Yiren's name, how should the Qi prefect explain this?" β
Qi Jinzhi said suspiciously: "Angel, Qi has already explained, these flowers are just for good looks." β
Waiter: "......" Ma Dan, as if scolding him severely.
While the two were talking, the carriage had already passed through the flowers, turned a corner, and saw a mountain gate with the words 'Gu's Plantation' written on the horizontal log.
Qi Dayong stepped forward to call the door.
Qi Jinzhi said to the chamberlain, "Angel, have you seen it?" β
The chamberlain rolled his eyes, what did he see? Isn't it just a mountain gate?
Qi Jinzhi pointed to the hillsides on the left and right.
The chamberlain followed his hand and looked over, hey, the demonic purple and red flowers were gone, and what caught his eyes was patches of green.
The chamberlain seemed to understand what Qi Jinzhi meant.
According to Qi Yao's statement, Gu Jialuo wants to grow tens of thousands of catties of warbler millet for the He family, and if he wants to produce so many capsules, then he must plant a large area of warbler corn.
At the very least, the entire Xiaoxi Mountain should be planted.
In fact, there is only one or two acres of warbler corn here, and the inner servant has slightly estimated that it will only be one or two acres to die.
With such an idea of mountains and forests, the soil is barren, even if there is a bumper harvest, you can only harvest more than 100 catties of capsules.
Tens of thousands of catties VS 100 catties, this number is too different.
In the face of such facts, Qi Jinzhi's so-called 'planting is good-looking' is more reliable.
However, the waiter did not easily believe the statement of Qi Jinzhi and his wife, and there were fewer plants outside, and perhaps more plants were planted in the plantation.
Pursing his lips, the waiter got out of the carriage, put his hands in front of him, and under the guidance of Qi Jinzhi, he went directly into the plantation.
"Huh? What'sβWhat is this? β
When I entered the garden, the waiter was a little dumbfounded, and it was not a warbler that was planted, but a slippery wooden shelf, which was covered with green vines, and bunches of small flowers hung between the emerald leaves.
The chamberlain has been in the palace since he was a child, and he is not good at farming, at least he does not recognize the crop in front of him.
Qi Jinzhi stood beside him with his hand, and it was difficult to hide his pride in his tone, "The angel smiled, this is the pepper that Humble Jing specially ordered someone to cultivate." β
"Hu, pepper?"
The waiter's eyes widened.
Pepper is a good thing, and the price of pepper in Kyoto is comparable to silver nowadays.
A flash of eagerness flashed in his eyes, a good girl, how much pepper has been planted, when it is harvested in late autumn, it must be a bumper harvest.
Ding, ding, ding, the two eyeballs of the inner servant have been transformed into gold ingots, and I can't wait to take all these treasures in front of me into my arms.
"That's right, Humble Jing saw that Wumeng had a warm climate and plenty of sunshine, and after asking some old farmers, he learned that this place was very suitable for growing pepper, so he specially asked Xie's firm to buy pepper varieties......
Qi Jinzhi continued to say in a proud tone, "...... Mr. Xie of the Xie family also felt that this matter was feasible, and after negotiation, he cooperated with Humble Jing in the plantation. This year is just testing the waters, and I don't know if it can be done, so I will be extra careful. Outsiders looked at it and felt mysterious, but they didn't know the truth, so they began to speculate wildly. β
Speaking of this, Qi Jinzhi made a grievance and spread his hands, "Alas, the clumsy Jing just saw that the people of Wumeng were living too hard, and wanted to help find a way to get rich, but in the mouth of those evil people with ulterior motives, it turned out to be 'deliberately planting poisonous flowers for their own time', angel, my family is really wronged." β
The waiter finally looked away from the 'cash cow', oh no, from the pepper vine, listened to Qi Jinzhi's words, and said curtly: "What, if all the plantations are planted with pepper, then, that Gu Yiren is indeed wronged!" β
Xiao Twenty-nine simply pointed straight ahead, "Since this is the case, then let's turn the entire plantation around and return the innocence of others!" β
The waiter had a bitter face and scolded secretly: It's really lifting a stone to hit his own feet, straight mother, isn't he afraid that he won't be tired or what? β
And most importantly, if they stay in Xiaoxi Mountain for too long, and then turn around to 'over there', all evidence will be destroyed.
At that time, even if they arrived, they wouldn't be able to catch Qi Jinzhi's slightest handle.
But Xiao Twenty-nine spoke, and Qi Jinzhi looked like 'he will not give up until he washes away his grievances', and the chamberlain really didn't dare to refuse this proposal.
Nodding stiffly, the waiter said, "Also, you don't need to go through the entire plantation, just check a few places." β
That's his bottom line!
Xiao Twenty-nine's eyes flickered, and he quietly looked at Qi Jinzhi.
Qi Jinzhi bowed slightly, indicating that he had made arrangements, so he didn't have to worry.
Xiao Twenty-nine breathed a sigh of relief and said to the attendant, "Just listen to the angels." Let's go! β
β¦β¦
In the dense forest fifty miles south of Xiaoxi Mountain, in front of an inconspicuous hillside, Qi Dayong led more than 20 villagers to quietly surround it.
"Boss, isn't this the salt pan of our mansion?" It's your own territory, why are you so sneaky?
Among the villagers, a young man in his twenties, slightly dark-skinned, and sturdy body scratched his head and asked puzzledly.
Qi Dayong didn't speak, but locked his eyebrows and pricked up his ears to observe carefully.
The cautious appearance caused the villagers to feel worried, and they all held their breath and did not dare to disturb them.
After a while, just when everyone was about to lose the tense atmosphere, Qi Dayong suddenly said, "No, something is wrong with the people inside." β
The black-faced kid who had just spoken hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that he has mixed in with the gangsters? Or is there someone making trouble? β
No, they didn't hear anything.
"There are indeed people who make trouble, but they are not mixed in, but subverted!"
Qi Dayong squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth, but he heard the hearts of all the villagers tremble.
What is disruption?
Could it be that there is anyone else in the Wumeng realm who dares to come and forcibly occupy the salt works of Fuzun?
Qi Dayong didn't explain much, and directly gave an order: "Ah Shui, Ah Gang, the two of you each lead a team to surround the salt field from the left and right sides. Amin, Ada, you guys follow me and touch me from behind. β
Several people who were named hurriedly responded.
Qi Dayong earnestly advised: "Remember, don't make any noise when you act." And no one is allowed to do it without my orders! β
This time, all the villagers replied in unison, "Yes!" β
Qi Dayong gestured with the gesture of 'action', and the villagers were divided into three parts, the two teams touched the mountain one left and one right, and the remaining four or five people followed Qi Dayong and climbed up the cliff behind him from the back.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Dayong led several villagers to successfully climb the cliff and came to the back of the salt field.
Hiding behind a huge mountain rock, Qi Dayong carefully observed the surroundings, his ears trembling from time to time.
"Huh? Not a single one? β
Qi Dayong's ear power was trained in the military camp, and when he was marching and fighting, he could hear the sound of horses' hooves a few miles away when he was lying on the ground, and then deduce the number of people and the specific distance from the sound.
He listened several times, and found that in this mountain forest, except for some small animals, there was no sound of human activity.
The whole mountain forest is not very quiet, but there is an indescribable weirdness.
"Boss, why don't I go over and have a look?"
It was a dark, thin, short man, not very old, but full of agility.
In fact, he was very agile and even more clever, and his brothers nicknamed him 'Angry Monkey' and affectionately called him 'Ah Monkey'.
"Okay, there you go,"
Qi Dayong nodded, "Ah Monkey, be careful, once you find any abnormality, run away quickly, safety is the most important thing!" β
"Don't worry."
A monkey deftly jumped out of the rocks, and a few jumped up, really moving between the trees like a monkey, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qi Dayong and the others continued to hide.
After a while, a few crisp bird calls rang out.
Qi Dayong listened carefully, this is Qi Jiajun's secret words, "Boss, everything is fine!" β
Qi Dayong stretched out his right hand and made a 'forward' gesture, and he himself rushed out first, followed by several other people.
A few people tiptoed into the salt field and followed the sound to find Ah Monkey.
Ah Monkey was standing in front of a simple stove in a daze, and when he heard the movement behind him, he hurriedly turned around.
Seeing that it was his own person, Ah Monkey patted his chest, and then pointed to the stove and said, "Boss, there is really a problem." Look, what is this? β
Qi Dayong hurried forward in a few steps and made a few steps, looked at it fixedly, and was also a little dumbfounded, "Oh my God, how can there be so many warblers and millet fruits here?" Also, what's the soup in this cauldron? β
The cauldron was still steaming, the brown juice was bubbling, and the boards around the stove were neatly stacked with pieces of golden-brown paste. (To be continued.) )
