Chapter 218: Mountain Road Cabin
After returning to Li's house and seeing that Cen Wenhan had not returned, Mr. He called Zhang Junlai to explain what he had seen and heard today, and asked him to arrange for people to keep an eye on the people and goods that passed through the customs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why isn't Mr. Cen with him?" Li Mian anxiously inquired about Cen Wenhan's whereabouts when he entered the door.
"He's gone somewhere else today, is there anything wrong with the owner?" Mr. He was also a little surprised to see Li Mian, who was usually steady, anxious at this time.
"I went to the county to report the case according to Cen Gongzi's request, saying that my house was burned down by bandits, and the deed was also lost in the fire, and I wanted them to come to Zhuangzi to investigate, but they didn't seem to be interested in this, and no one from the yamen had come to Zhuangzi at this time." Li Mian anxiously talked about what he encountered in the county today.
Mr. He was also stunned, "Didn't you talk to these people last time?" ”
"That's right, Kong Xiancheng also received my money, but today he arranged for the errand but no one moved."
At this time, Mr. He was also confused, "According to common sense, they should have come to the first time when such a big thing happened under their rule, but why are they procrastinating on this?" ”
"That's why I came to discuss with Master Cen."
At this time, Mr. He suddenly thought of something, "Didn't your lady also go to the county last time to make friends with the daughters of some officials?" Why don't you let her come forward and ask about it. ”
Li Mian also thought about this, but he couldn't bear to let his wife worry about the affairs of the village at that time, but now it seems that there is really no way, so he has to leave and go back to find his eldest wife.
Looking at the back of Li Mian's departure, Mr. He was also at a loss in his heart, but now that Cen Wenhan had not returned, he didn't know what to do.
Early the next morning, Li Mian went out with his eldest lady, and Zhang Jun also came back, it turned out that he went to follow those who passed the checkpoint last night, and only came back at this time.
"Where have you been all night?"
Zhang Jun's face was still tired, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I went to gamble all night's money." ”
"I'll kill you bastard, I told you to do things, you give me gambling money, and I'm embarrassed to say it in front of me."
Zhang Jun hurriedly said at this time: "Sir, don't be angry, I went to follow those people, but I didn't expect those boys to fool around in the casino all night, and I had to gamble and play with them all night." ”
So that's the case, Mr. He's face also calmed down a lot, "What have you heard?" ”
"I also only heard that the people who passed the checkpoint were headed by Wang Feng, and they were gangsters in the town on weekdays, but he did this business because he was very familiar with the guards guarding the checkpoint, and then some people found him, and every time he delivered goods to these people, he would get a little benefit after passing the customs, and he shared these benefits with the soldiers guarding the checkpoint."
"Does he know who asked him to deliver the goods?"
"He didn't know that these people came to him on weekdays, but the people from Xingan Village were the most diligent, and they had to look for him several times a month, and they sent a lot of things each time."
"What did you give?"
"It's just some medicines, and he's peeked at them, and they're just some pills that aren't packaged."
He Xuanzi nodded, "You go and rest first!" Then he went to the town.
At this time, Cen Wenhan didn't come back, and Mr. He didn't know what this kid had found, but now he had to go to the town to find those people who had cleared the customs, and see if he could make friends with these people.
After Cen Wenhan left the Li Mansion, he left the White Pheasant Town, and he discussed with Mr. He, his goal of staying in the town was too big, and many people would notice him, so he secretly went to find the source of the medicine that Dong Binzhong and they transported.
After arriving at Xingan Village, Cen Wenhan saw that the people here stayed at home all day and did not go out, but every day they pushed some things out of the warehouse in the four corners, and he could see that there were still secrets in the village that had not been discovered by him.
Late at night, Cen Wenhan entered the village, because of these several disturbances, the people here were very alert, Cen Wenhan was found as soon as he entered the village, fortunately, he hid in the house in time and was not discovered, but it really shocked him into a cold sweat.
This time he came to the warehouse in the corner again, it was still the same as the last time he came, the pills on the medicine shelf were also well stacked in the box, there was a strong smell of medicine in the whole room, and there was nothing special around him, he looked at the top of the warehouse, there were several rings hanging on the beams, which seemed to be used for lifting, but what goods in such a warehouse needed to be put on the rings.
Cen Wenhan looked at the floor of the warehouse along the ring, and sure enough, he found that there was a big hole in the ground covered with wooden boards, and after opening it, there was a gust of wind inside, Cen Wenhan called a few mice to go down to open the way, and he followed behind and walked deeper with this hole.
The rats walked a short time before they reached the entrance of a cave, and when Shum Wenhan walked out of the cave, he found himself in another room, and there was a sound coming in from the outside of the room, as if someone was carrying something.
Cen Wenhan secretly walked to the house and looked outside, only to see that this was a wooden house built in the valley, and the house here was built around a large floor, and some people lit torches at the central floor loading and unloading station or something, it was estimated that it was those pills.
Cen Wenhan took advantage of the night to get out of this house and came to the mountainside, he saw that there was still a steady stream of goods sent here, and then he saw that there was a torch burning on the top of the mountain not far away, and it seemed that there were still people there guarding the safety of these carriers.
After coming to the top of the mountain, Cen Wenhan saw a person guarding here to observe the movement below, presumably what he needed to travel at night was safety, when he saw that the delivery people had arrived safely at the wooden house below, he picked up the torch and got on his horse and left, Cen Wenhan also followed this ride down the other side of the mountain.
After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Cen Wenhan couldn't keep up with this person, the mountain road was not easy to walk when he went down the mountain, this person walked very carefully, and the horse did not go fast, but after reaching the bottom of the mountain, he was relieved to beat the horse and speed up his pace, and soon the torch disappeared into the night, and Cen Wenhan reluctantly walked slowly in the direction of looking for people.
I don't know how long I walked, but when I was about to get to the fifth watch, Cen Wenhan's eyes lit up, and a small village appeared in front of me, and it was still brightly lit at this time, it seems that there must be something here.
After entering the village, Cen Wenhan was surprised to see the scenery of Tianxi Village, where every household is waiting for the medicine on the stove, it seems that there is no need to say that this place is a medicine refining workshop, this is also because Cen Wenhan explained to him last time in Tianxi Village, Cen Wenhan only knew what these people were doing, otherwise his eyes would be black.
Cen Wenhan wandered around the village for a while, the chickens didn't bark and the dogs didn't bite, so no one noticed him, and everyone couldn't see his face clearly at night, thinking that he was here to do something.
After going around the village, Cen Wenhan found that the lights of the largest family were off, presumably this is where the people in charge of the village live, otherwise they would definitely get up and do things before five watches like others, he jumped into this house, and three big dogs ran in front of him, they looked at Cen Wenhan who entered the courtyard and ran away, Cen Wenhan was also surprised that the family could afford to raise such a big three dogs, presumably the family was still very rich.
When Cen Wenhan was rejoicing, a person yawned and came out of the house, it seems that he was the first one in the family to get up, this person came out to wash and began to clean the yard, and another person got up and started to work, Cen Wenhan quickly found a place to hide.
Soon after dawn, a middle-aged man walked out of the house, this person looked like a scholar, a bookish air, this person arrived in the courtyard and asked loudly, "Is Liu Qi back?" ”
The sweeper just now hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Village chief, Liu Qi came back last night." ”
"Have you delivered all the goods?"
"It's all delivered."
The middle-aged man went back to the house after hearing this, and when Cen Wenhan saw this, he knew that this was originally a den of Dong Binzhong and others, but this place was used for refining medicine, and the Xingan Village was used for storing and transporting medicines.
