Chapter 118: The Expedition

"In the final analysis, the root of Cheng Ya's illness was also for Brother Hong'er, and now her family affairs are broken because of the girl's mouth, which our Shen family owes her. When your great-grandfather was alive, he would rather be a person to bear me than a person's temperament, otherwise our Shen family would not have today, no one can stand up alone, it all depends on people's help. If we don't treat Cheng girl better, I'm afraid it will chill everyone's hearts. The old lady said.

Shen Qian nodded when she heard this.

Shen Wei said sullenly: "In the end, it's all my fault." ”

The old lady nodded the tip of Shen Jing's nose, "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, you know now that the trouble comes from the mouth, right?" Let's see if you dare to keep your mouth shut in the future. ”

Shen Wei shook his head hurriedly and said, "I don't dare anymore." ”

In fact, they all knew that this news was given to He Ning by Su Yun, but because Su Yun had left, everyone stopped mentioning it, and the old lady pointed out Shen Wei because even if Su Yun was wrong, the root cause was still Shen Yun.

Ji Cheng was slightly stunned when she learned the news that the old lady was going to move to her yard by herself, although she knew that the old lady would definitely be a little sorry for herself in her heart, but she didn't expect her to do this.

You must know that the girl's family can be raised in Mrs. Shen's yard, and if you study with her for a year and a half, you will definitely benefit a lot, and when you talk about kissing in the future, you can also be looked down upon a few times.

It's just that he moved to the old lady's courtyard, and Ji Cheng's actions are not so convenient, at least it is not easy to go to Jiuli Courtyard from the secret passage.

But since the old lady had already spoken, Ji Cheng naturally wanted to make a flattered appearance, but he packed up the cage in one day, and moved to Rui Yingtang's hugging building early in the morning of the third day.

Only when this person lives together can you discover many things that are different from what you imagined.

For example, Ji Cheng couldn't sleep one day and got up early in the morning, but saw an old lady who had always been graceful and luxurious in front of people, wearing a set of white silk clothes and playing Tai Chi in the yard.

So much so that Ji Cheng didn't dare to move when his leg was halfway through, and the old lady turned around and saw her retract her hand and said, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

"Can't sleep." Ji Cheng said.

"Do you recognize the bed?" The old lady asked again.

Ji Cheng shook his head, "No." It's just that I haven't slept very well. ”

The old lady said: "You little girls just don't care about your body and bones, and when you reach my age, you will know that you will regret it." I can't sleep at a young age, but I can't get it, and now I can't see the evil consequences, and you will know in a few years, and you will age faster than everyone else. ”

Ji Cheng smiled: "I'm also worried, but I can't always drink soothing soup." It's you, ancestor, it's still cold this day, why don't you get up early in the morning to do Tai Chi? ”

The old lady said, "It's all Archer making trouble." He was only twelve years old that year, and I just got up after a serious illness, and he asked me to learn to play Tai Chi, I was lazy and moved, so he came to Rui Yingtang to knock on the door at this hour every day, and I asked people to ignore him, and he dared to beat gongs and drums at the door of my yard, and he couldn't be convinced. Now that I'm used to practicing, I feel uncomfortable when I don't practice in the morning. ”

Ji Cheng didn't expect Shen Che to have that time, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then I remembered it again, it seemed that I hadn't seen Shen Che for a long time, and it was said that if he was in the house, he wouldn't mention it at night, but he should have come to greet the old lady in the morning. Ji Cheng has been living in Rui Yingtang these days, and even Shen Yu, who is so busy on weekdays, has seen it several times, but Shen Che has not seen it.

However, Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ji Cheng watched the old lady play Tai Chi on the side, and he also followed the comparison, and then learned to serve the old lady to freshen up, and when he was about to have breakfast, he saw Shen Che come in.

The old lady was stunned at Shen Che, to the effect that he didn't know where to fool around. Of course, in front of Ji Cheng, the old lady would never say the word fooling around, but the meaning was almost the same.

Shen Che listened to the old lady count with a smile, and nodded yes from time to time, Ji Cheng looked at it from the side and only felt funny in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that Shen Che also had such a well-behaved time.

After the old lady finished counting, Shen Che personally held the bowl with almond syrup to the old lady, "Grandmother, come and take a breath, drink some almond syrup and count it." ”

The old lady was so angry that she pointed at Shen Che's nose and said, "If you are angry with me again, believe it or not, I will marry you a pockmarked woman and come back to clean you up." ”

Shen Che said forgiveness repeatedly, and then looked at Ji Cheng, as if he had just discovered her, "Sister Cheng is filial piety, she came so early." ”

"Your sister Cheng is now living in the hugging building in the yard, tell me about you, you haven't returned home for a long time, what do you know about this family? It's like a guest. "The old lady is counting again.

The eldest girl Yunjin also covered her mouth when she listened to it, but she knew that the old lady was also afraid that she would count too much and make this most beloved grandson impatient, so she stepped forward and interjected: "Ancestor, breakfast has been served, freshly released pine nut goose fat rolls, and mille-feuille radish crisp." ”

Both of these things are Shen Che's favorite food, and as soon as Yun Jin said this, the old lady asked Shen Che impatiently, "Is it time for breakfast?" Wouldn't you be going out early in the morning? ”

"Where can it be, isn't it just thinking about the radish crisp in the ancestor's house, so I came early?" Shen Che said with a smile.

The old lady glanced at Shen Che with disgust, "It's pretty much the same." ”

The two ancestors and grandchildren were stunned for a moment, and when the old lady arrived in front of Shen Che, the whole child became like another Hongge.

During the meal, Ji Cheng consciously stood aside to serve the old lady with vegetables, and the old lady said: "You are also Archer's sister, so you don't need to pay attention to those false courtesies, sit down and use them together." You accompanied me to practice Tai Chi all morning, aren't you hungry? ”

Ji Cheng sat down with kindness, and the old lady instructed again: "Drink the ginger tea mixed with cow's milk first, warm your stomach and then eat." ”

Ji Cheng has been living in Rui Yingtang for more than ten days, and he has lost the rustiness when he first came, listening to the old lady's words, he smiled sweetly and said yes.

The old man just likes to see smiling faces, so Ji Cheng's cheeks have been much more tired than usual these days.

Shen Che quit after breakfast, Ji Cheng also went to the school, and the old lady sat alone with her heart full of worries.

Mama Cao sat next to her and took the soles of her shoes, and the old lady's shoes for decades were made by her. Mama Cao rubbed the long needle on her hair, looked at the old lady and said, "Miss, what's wrong?" sighed for a long time, but worried about Archer's family affairs again? ”

The old lady didn't hide her thoughts from this old slave who had been with her for decades, "Don't you think Archer is a little different from Cheng girl?" ”

Mama Cao said in surprise: "I don't think so, Miss saw something?" ”

The old lady shook her head, "I always feel that something is wrong. ”

"I think it's Miss, you're too worried about Archer's family affairs, so it's not right to see anything. Anyway, the old slave didn't find anything different about Archer to Cheng girl. ”

"It's eyes." The old lady said suddenly: "It's the wrong look." I looked at Cheng girl several times during the meal. ”

Mama Cao only thought it was funny, "Cheng girl is so beautiful, don't talk about Archer, even when we see her, we want to take a few more looks, what's wrong with this?" ”

"I hope I'm thinking too much." The old lady sighed, "Actually, if Archer really likes it, there's nothing wrong with Cheng girl." You know Archer's temperament, if you really marry him someone you don't like, it will hurt other girls. It's just that Cheng girl's body bones, I really don't feel at ease. Anhe is such a lone seedling as Archer, and the boss's incense is all on Archer, what if he can't get pregnant? ”

Although Imperial Doctor Liu said that Ji Cheng could recover, the old lady was afraid of what happened, especially when this chance fell on Shen Che, the old lady couldn't stand it.

"Archer looks at Cheng girl? I'm afraid I can't. "Mama Cao felt that the old lady was afraid that she was a little confused, but she only looked at it a few more times and thought of having children." Archer is a filial person, he liked that person so much at the beginning, Miss You said a word, he didn't give up, if you are afraid that Archer will look at Cheng Yatou, when Archer comes to ask for peace in the future, you let Cheng Yatou avoid it. ”

The old lady sighed again, "How can it be so easy? At the beginning, Shen Che was young, and she could still call the shots, but after that, every time the old lady wanted to mention family affairs with Shen Che, she always had to be cautious, for fear of arousing his sadness and ruining the feelings of her ancestors and grandchildren.

If Shen Che really fell in love with Ji Cheng this time, the old lady was afraid that she would be powerless to stop her. The son can't help it, not to mention that with Shen Che's temperament, he can really do anything.

Ji Cheng didn't know the old lady's troubles, she was busy with other things. Because the secret passage under her bed was dug at noon this day.

How could Shen Che not know about Ji Cheng's move to the house, even if others were outside, eyeliner was everywhere. On the first night Ji Cheng moved to Rui Yingtang, he heard movement underground, and he was so frightened that he thought it was the old house haunted, but it turned out that Shen Che was asking people to dig a secret passage.

If it weren't for the fear that the noise would be too loud and alarm the rest of Rui Yingtang, the secret passage would be dug up in less than two days. It's good now, Ji Cheng no longer needs to drill a well, and the bed board can easily enter the secret passage.

When Ji Cheng saw Shen Che in Lanyue Zhai, he brought her two pieces of news.

"When the Su family's boat passed through Taihu Lake, it encountered a strong wind and was blown over, and no one survived. The locals said that it was caused by the wrath of the dragon king, and that the fishermen and the beggars on the water killed their animals and sacrificed them by the water for three days before they stopped. Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng didn't dare to look at Shen Che's eyes, so he had to stare at his hand making tea. She did it, and it was solved with a silver ticket, and the black market was indeed a good place.

Speaking of which, I am afraid that I will harm a lot of innocent people, but if I directly let people kill Su Yun, the government will investigate it, and Ji Cheng, a person who was harmed by Su Yun and lost his relatives, may be suspicious in the future. So Ji Cheng generously gave the silver ticket and bought it forever.

The Dragon Lord was angry and killed the whole boat, so he couldn't suspect Ji Cheng. However, Ji Cheng was also embarrassed when he heard the news, those people who were hiding in the dark really dared to do anything.

Ji Cheng also asked himself if he was too ruthless in doing this, but since Su Yun could calculate her like that day, Ji Cheng didn't have any pity for her. She is different from Wang Siniang, Su Yun and others, these people will only work people's innocence every time, not only do they want you to die, but also let you die with a lifetime of stigma, or live in fear and pain for the rest of your life.

Ji Cheng was impatient to fight with Su Yun, she just wanted to use the cleanest and neatest way to solve people.

In Wang Siniang, in fact, Ji Cheng also wanted to concoct the same, but the Wang family is now booming, and those outlaws clearly know what silver is taken to have a life flower, and what silver is taken can only buy a coffin. No one dared to take Wang Siniang's business, and they were afraid of being burned.

Ji Cheng listened to the sound of "goo-goo-goo" water boiling, and didn't speak, waiting for Shen Che to continue.

As a result, after Shen Che finished saying the news, he focused on the tea in his hand wholeheartedly, as if what he just said was not about a boatload of dead people, but just talking about the weather.

Shen Che handed the tea to Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng took it and drank it. Only then did I hear Shen Che say: "This kind of thing hurts the yin skull, find a free time to go to Daci Temple to donate more sesame oil money and let those monks recite the mantra of death a few more times." ”

"Yes." Ji Cheng is as good as a stream.

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng's eyes, clear and clear, who could read her ruthlessness from such beautiful eyes?

Shen Che did mean to mention the underground black market at the beginning. I tried Ji Cheng with all my heart, but I didn't expect her to really do it, and she did it very ruthlessly. This kind of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend the whole family" cold and resolute heart, is indeed very suitable for sitting in the position of "Hua Ye".

It's just that Shen Che couldn't tell where the disappointment and even anger in his heart came from. He should be happy, there are some things he doesn't want to dirty in the future, and Ji Cheng may be able to help him complete it well.

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che's gloomy face and could hear the irony in his words, but she didn't regret doing it, but what she thought in her heart was that if she could get in touch with the black market, she would be able to kill Zhu Jijun with the silver, and she wouldn't have these troublesome things now.

Where could Shen Che not see that Ji Cheng had no regrets, he was afraid that after she tasted this right to manipulate people's life and death, she would know the marrow. Especially with Ji Cheng's background, it is easy to make the mistake of "being rampant once she gets her will", from being bullied to bullying others with revenge, and in the end, she will become unaware of herself.

"Cousin Che, is there any eyebrows about Yan Xiagu's affairs?" Ji Cheng diverted the topic and said, Shen Che's eyes became more and more gloomy, which made her a little unbearable, but Ji Cheng felt in her heart that Shen Che had some intention of setting fire to the state officials, and she didn't believe that Jing Shijun's hands could be clean.

"Hmm. The bandit problem has been solved, and I have already found your first caravan. Shen Che said.

It's only been half a month, and Ji Cheng can't believe Shen Che's efficiency, which is too amazing.

Speaking of Yan Xiagu, this matter really alarmed the bigwigs of the Western Regions. The mountain bandits in Yan Xiagu are so arrogant, there must be someone behind them. Various forces are divided, and no one has dared to touch Yan Xiagu.

Tong Xiang and the others didn't think that Ji Cheng's boastful Haikou could be realized at all. So when they each returned to their lair in the Western Regions, as soon as they got home, they heard the shock of Yan Xiagu's mountain bandits being served in a pot, and Ji Cheng would definitely be super satisfied if he could see it.

Although Tong Xiang and the three of them were not in one place, they all thought the same when they looked up at the starry sky, where is this flower girl sacred?

That's right, Ji Cheng was a "flower girl" in Tongxiang's mouth at the beginning. These three people are all rough people, and they only know that Ji Cheng's mask and robe are embroidered with flowers, but they can't say what the flowers are. and they did not know her name, but the messengers called her a girl.

Tong Xiang and they naturally called Ji Cheng a flower girl.

Speaking of which, although Tong Xiang and the three of them knew that they were doing things for Jing Shijun, they could only be regarded as supernumeraries of Jing Shijun, not even the outermost core figures. Their previous task was to earn money for the Jing Shi Army. They don't know exactly what the people of the Jingshijun are doing.

So when they heard about Ji Cheng, they also thought that she was the identity of a big shopkeeper, but when they found out about Yan Xiagu's situation, they realized that they were looking down on people.

No pure businessman can deal with the mountain bandits who have been entrenched in Yan Xiagu for more than 20 years in half a month. And the means are quite good.

The news that Tong Xiang found out was that the three main owners of the Bull Demon King, the Deer Demon King, and the Sheep Demon King of Yan Xia Valley were beheaded overnight, and their heads were hung on the gate of the cottage. The next morning, he killed a little minion who got up early.

As soon as the three village owners went, those mountain bandits suddenly became a mess and became a mess.

And then there was none.

That's the weirdest part.

The mountain bandits in Yan Xia Valley also had two or three hundred people, and it would take at least an army of five hundred or so people to exterminate them. In fact, more than 500 people can't be exterminated, those mountain bandits are very familiar with the terrain, and when they encounter hard stubble breaking into the mountain, they will be reduced to zero, and when the limelight passes, they will plant a flag in Yan Xia Valley, and no one can help them.

But Tong Xiang inquired, and before that, everyone didn't get any news, and they didn't see the shadow of the army, and Yan Xiagu's mountain bandits were destroyed.

And they only heard that the three major village masters were all dead, but where did the remaining mountain bandits go? Why did they quietly not show up at all, and they all became sheep? Or was it just dug into a big pit and buried it all?

No one can tell.

What's more, after Tong Xiang and the others met Ji Cheng in the capital at that time, they returned to the Western Regions overnight, and as soon as they arrived, the mountain bandits in Yan Xia Valley had already been killed, and the speed was simply amazing.

In the end, Pang Junxiong got the news first. The news he got was for him to rush to Yan Xiagu immediately.

In the past, the big red bull head flag fluttering on the bandit cottage has disappeared, and a three-zhang high flagpole has been erected in front of the village where the owner of the big village and the bull demon king lived, and a new black flag floats on it, embroidered with four golden characters of "Yuelai Inn".

Pang Junxiong was thinking at the time, how many gold threads do you have to waste? Loser, too losing.

In the brand-new cottage, Pang Junxiong saw the remaining 152 mountain bandits, these mountain bandits who were usually extremely vicious, were really as well-behaved as sheep at this time. Everyone has a waist tag on them, and according to themselves, they are called "A Brigade". The waist card is from the first to the first one hundred and twenty-five.

This is the first cargo team under Ji Cheng, which is responsible for the transportation of goods from Xizhou to Yancheng. Their style still can't get rid of the habits of the original mountain bandits.

The passing business traveler wants to get from Yan Xia Valley safely? Yes! You don't have to pay for the road, but you have to entrust them with all the goods, and of course the hardship is indispensable. As for the bosses, they can go to Yancheng in front of them to pick up the goods, and they will not miss a grain of rice.

If you don't agree, you must transport it yourself, and those who transport the goods will immediately become bandits and rob them directly, so that you can only hang yourself and kill yourself.

Under such an overlord act, who would dare not invite the A-word brigade to transport goods? The most important thing is that people are really not bullied, and the freight is very reasonable.

What is the rational way? The price of finding a horse team and a camel team to transport goods is almost the same as the cost of finding a car to transport goods, but you have to bear the risk of transporting goods by yourself, such as encountering mountain bandits, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Another example is the loss of goods in the event of a storm or rainstorm, and you can only consider yourself unlucky.

But it's not the same when handed over to the A-word brigade, and they will pay for all the losses on the way. At first, those merchants did not believe in this article, how could there be such benefits in the world? Those people are bandits.

Who knew if it would happen to me once. There is little rain in the Western Regions, but this year there was a heavy rain, and Liu Lianeryun's tea leaves were all destroyed after being soaked in water. He had already arrived in Yancheng at that time, and when he heard the news, he didn't dare to go to the people of the A-shaped brigade to ask for compensation, because he felt that it was not the fault of the A-shaped brigade.

As a result, the people from the A-word brigade found Liu Lian'er first, and the silver ticket of 2,000 taels of compensation for the goods was directly handed to him, and the freight was refunded in full.

This one alone has built up the credibility of the A-word brigade. Later, business became more and more prosperous, and they didn't have to go out and scare the merchants into handing over the goods to themselves. In the end, those people rushed to go through various ways in the hope of being able to catch up with the A-word Brigade and deliver their goods first, because their business was too hot and they were often too busy.

Of course, that's all for later.

And after Pang Junxiong arrived at Yan Xiagu and knew what happened in Yan Xiagu, there was only fear and admiration left for Ji Chengke in his heart. He corresponded with Tong Xiang and them, and he didn't dare to call Ji Cheng a flower girl in private, so he began to jokingly call Ji Cheng "Hua Ye".

It means that Ji Cheng's means and scheming, many old men can't catch up with her. Later, after Pang Junxiong followed Ji Cheng's instructions and operated the A-word Brigade in full swing, the title of Hua Ye was fixed.

However, if Ji Cheng heard this title, he would have to vomit blood at least three times, cheesy, cheesy.

The topic is too far, and back to the moon fasting in February, Shen Che poured Ji Cheng another cup of tea, and then looked around, "There is still a snow around the first four weeks of this month, and it doesn't seem to be so appropriate." ”

In fact, it was long overdue to change the painting, and the paper on the wall was also a little peeling, but Ji Cheng hadn't taken care of these yet. And Shen Che's topic inevitably changed too quickly.

"Yan Xiagu's mountain bandits were wiped out so quickly?" Ji Cheng didn't pay attention to Shen Che's "idle talk".
