Chapter 56: Smuggling

The steward led the forty people behind him, as well as the three carriages, and had only left Yao's tea shop for a quarter of an hour, but he saw that there was a vast and mighty road not far ahead, and the wolf smoke was rising, gradually getting closer, and at a rough look, there were about more than 100 officers and soldiers.

The men behind the steward thought that the officers and soldiers had business to do, so they hid on the side of the road, but unexpectedly, the group of officers and soldiers came and surrounded them one after another.

Chang Steward looked at all this coldly, and when the scene calmed down, he looked at the leader, and the control crane was all commanded by Tongzhi, Wei Qi.

He walked in front of Wei Qi, "I don't know what it means to be in command." ”

Wei Qi snorted coldly, "I was ordered to investigate the case." ”

Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to open the boxes behind him.

The officers and soldiers were fast, and they opened each box after three strokes and five divisions, and in that box was not a tea brick, but a whole box of cold weapons, and this box was going to be transported to the Khitan.

The men and guards around the box looked into the box and were shocked, you must know that transporting these boxes of cold weapons to the Khitan is equivalent to collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which is a great crime of killing the head.

Wei Qi saw that everyone had stolen goods, and waved his hand, "Take them all away for me." ”

Chang Steward blushed, but did not argue, a hundred officers and soldiers escorted dozens of men and guards, occupied the entire street, and escorted people to the criminal department.

In a small house in Yongtai Lane, Shili Street, Su Fu looked at the big willow tree in the courtyard in a daze, and at this moment the branches and leaves were gone, leaving only the bare branches slanting in the cold wind.

After dawn, she carefully looked at the small courtyard a few times, but every table, a stool, every grass and a tree were very familiar.

She remembered that a few months before she was imprisoned, she was very sad because she had listened to the rumors between the palace maids in the palace, and Fan Qiu saw that she was listless, so he secretly took her to this mansion, and the small tree next to the big willow tree was planted by her own hands while she watched Fan Qiu.

Three years later, coming back here is like going back to the time when I only knew about the love of children.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Mrs. Fang went to open the door, and what came in was Fan Qiu, who brought a storm of dust from outside, but her face looked a little poor, and her eyes were glowing with thick cyan, so she must have been very busy these days.

Fan Qiu saw her sitting at the stone table outside the courtyard, so he simply sat down, and when Mrs. Fang saw this, she hurriedly made a pot of tea and retreated.

She looked at Fan Qiu and said solemnly, "Thank you." ”

Fan Qiu has known her for more than half a year, but looking at her at this moment, it is completely different from the beginning, Xu is good in these days, her face is ruddy, her face is greasy, she already looks like a girl, and she is dressed as a man at this moment, it really doesn't look like it.

"Why is Yao Shaohua looking for you everywhere?" Fanqiu asked.

She replied, "Probably because of my different eyes, you know, many people think it is novel, Yao Shaohua is a businessman, naturally he puts interests first, and probably wants to exchange me for benefits." ”

Fanqiu looked at her with a steady expression and a slight sarcasm on her face, which really didn't match the face of a thirteen-year-old girl, and he wondered what he had missed to see her change.

"Perhaps, more than that, isn't it?" He wanted to peel off the skin from her outside and see what it looked like inside.

After hearing this, her expression was slight, "I live alone in this world, helpless, I can only rely on myself, if there is no change at all, I am probably already in a mass grave at this time." ”

She didn't answer what she asked, but Fan Qiu didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so she was straightforward, "This morning, Yao's tea was out of the goods, and was stopped by Tongzhi, the commander of the accused crane, and after opening the boxes, I found that those boxes were filled with some cold weapons. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and although he was a little unconvinced, he still asked, "How do you know?" ”

Cold weapon? She was a little surprised in her heart, her eyes surrounded by white gauze were deep, she remembered that Yao Shaohua's original plan was to smuggle illegal salt towards the Khitan, and she also inadvertently saw that all the private salt was put in a warehouse of Yao's tea shop.

She let the commander of the crane capital know about this matter, that is, she knew that the commander of the crane capital would seize the opportunity to let people go to the street to investigate, if it is true, put the people and private salt in prison, the evidence of the crime is there, I am not afraid that Yao Shaohua will not cut some flesh out, if he refuses, he will definitely be accused of being commanded by the crane to make the whole extremely miserable.

But when did this private salt become a cold weapon?

She came back to her senses and saw that Fan Qiu's eyes were staring at her tightly, so she had to answer truthfully, "I saw that there was private salt in the warehouse of Yao's tea shop, so I thought that he would sell illegal salt, so I passed this letter to the commander of the control crane capital to know. ”

Fancho looked at her carefully, as if to see if she was lying.

If she really didn't want Fan Qiu to know, Fan Qiu would definitely not see anything, she really didn't know about it, and Fan Qiu couldn't see anything.

For a long time, Fan Qiu didn't believe that she would know, so he was silent for a while, "You have a lot of guts. ”

She shook her head, "I don't have the guts, I'm just scared of death." ”

Those who have never died will never know how terrible the moment before death will be, so terrible that she can still clearly feel the coldness and sharp pain of her head touching the wall in her midnight dream.

Fan Qiu was silent, and there was actually some disdain in his heart.

Since he was a child, Zhongyi Bo taught him that men should be determined in all directions, and they should not be afraid of bloodshed, and they should not be afraid of death, everyone will die, and the distinction is only sooner or later.

However, it is naturally not possible to require a thirteen-year-old girl to such a standard.

Thinking of this, Fancho felt ridiculous at his own absurdity, he could understand her fear of death, as if he had almost fallen off a cliff when he was a child, and at that moment his spontaneous sense of fear made him like a puppet, unable to speak or act.

"When the rumors pass in the past few days, I will send you out of Changle Mansion." Fanqiu returned to Shinto.

She was stunned, and then shook her head, she thought about it all night, but she still felt that she couldn't leave, the reason why she wanted to come to Changle Mansion was to find out why she was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

And who was in the hall that day with a very similar handwriting to hers?

In the past few years, she has brought out the people around her one by one to recall their suspiciousness, but unfortunately she has found nothing, and she must stand in that position again and contact with many officials to be more sure.

As for that person, she was probably unavoidable, and she had to meet him.

Yesterday's hasty decision to leave the city was because she lost her proportion, which shows that after she fell into the valley of death, she could not cut off all the emotions that she could not control.

She wants to change this problem.

"Why?" Fan Qiu couldn't help frowning when he saw her shaking his head.

She looked at Fan Qiu, "Now that Yao Shaohua has been caught smuggling cold weapons by the government, this matter will definitely not be closed soon, Yao Shaohua himself is difficult to protect, where is the time to pay attention to me?" And I have been in Changle Mansion for more than half a year, and my life has been very stable, and I don't want to leave. ”

She was absolutely right, but she couldn't stop Fan Qiu from being selfish.

The man had been sending people to look for her for the past few days, and he had never stopped, and his meaning had never changed, but he remembered Jianing, and he did not want to bring her to the man, but he could not tell her these words.

She looked at Fanqiu's elusive face and couldn't help but sigh, "Trust me, I'll be fine." ”

These words drilled into Fanqiu's ears and shook his heart.

When Jianing was first imprisoned, he sneaked into the prison to look at Jianing, and Jianing raised a slightly bleak face, with a smile that was extremely inconsistent with this face, comforting him, "Believe me, I will be fine." ”

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart, when Jianing was imprisoned, he was only eighteen years old. (To be continued.) )
