Chapter 66: Surprised
Half an hour later, several more wagons pulling goods came out of the house in the suburbs again, just as had happened half an hour earlier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yue Xinran changed into a servant's cotton robe, wore a hat to cover most of his face, and sat next to the coachman Zhong Tie, at the front of the convoy.
This time for delivery, Yue Xinran called Zhong Tie, and also brought the red heart that had traveled with Muyu.
Either way, there's nothing wrong with being cautious.
I went to trade in two batches, which was discussed with Hongge on the same day, and it was also proposed by Hongge.
The final location of their transaction was not Luoshigang, where even she and Yue Qi didn't know.
How do I know where to trade? Then it depends on the people who were waiting for them halfway through the last meeting with Hongge.
Because it was driving at night, it was exceptionally quiet, which made the team a little nervous.
Seeing that he was about to reach the road where he and Hongge met for the first time, Yue Xinran breathed a sigh of relief and let Zhong Tie slow down, and the carriage behind him naturally slowed down.
I can already see the road when I last parked. There was no one on the road, and it was no different from the road I had walked before.
It's right here, but how can there be no one?
She told Zhong Tie to stop the carriage and jump out of the carriage.
Leyu and Redheart poke their heads out of the car and ask her what's wrong.
"It's okay, you stay inside."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure flashed out from behind the tree, it was Sulch in the costume of a hunter.
It was obviously night, and the moonlight was sparse, but he still saw Yue Xinran at a glance.
"Yue Lang!" Sulch stepped forward with a smile, "I've been waiting here for a long time. β
She saw that Sulch was about to come forward and give her a hug, so she hurriedly arched her hand and said, "Is everything going well?" β
Sulch had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder, "It's okay, nothing happened." Brought everything? His eyes lit up as he looked at the carriage.
The last team took a long detour and didn't pass through here. So neither she nor Sulch knew that the last team had long been targeted.
"This is not the place to talk, let's hurry up." Yue Xinran just wanted to make sure the deal was successful.
Sulch nodded, his face a little serious, "I'll lead the way." β
Sulch returned to the woods, took out a black steed, and led the way.
After driving forward for two pillars of incense, Su Erqi turned into a fork in the road, Yue Xinran was already prepared in his heart, so he naturally asked Zhong Tie to follow him.
β¦β¦
Lin Siyi suddenly sighed, "It's not quite right." β
"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"
"Where are they going, it's clear that there is a rocky hill in front of them, why don't they continue to move forward, but turn the front of the car around?" Lin Siyi had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Oops! We've got it. This is not a vehicle for delivering goods at all! Lin Siyi gritted his teeth and said.
"Send someone up and stop them and see what's in their car." At this time, Lin Siyi naturally did not show up, and ordered.
"Isn't that right? Do you want to wait a little longer. The people around him were a little hesitant, "Besides, as soon as our people appear, won't they startle the snake." Brother Lin, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. β
Lin Siyi was silent for a moment, he really couldn't be the master, if he really startled the snake, Lord Gongsun wouldn't spare him this time.
"Send someone back to report to your lordship. We continued to follow. β
β¦β¦
The sun rises from the distant sky, and the sunlight swayes down, dispelling the darkness.
Fortunately, Hongge did not appear this time, and the transaction went smoothly, and it was all carried out according to what was said before.
The way back was much easier than when I came. The carriage had been dispersed by Yue Xinran when she came, and now there were only three with her.
He was about to go back to the city, but he heard a scolding from the front.
Yue Xinran had been in the carriage all the time, and when he heard the movement, he poked his head out.
In front of the city gate, a group of officers and soldiers blocked their way.
β¦β¦
Lin Siyi knelt in the courtyard, sweat leaving from the side of his face and falling onto the placket of his already wet clothes.
After the end of the matter, the convoy he followed circled around the rocky hill and began to walk back, asking if there was cotton for sale in each village.
This convoy is obviously coming to the countryside to harvest cotton!
Lin Siyi was a little remorseful and shouldn't be careless. I don't know if adults still believe him.
There must be something wrong with the surname Yue.
If he hadn't taken it lightly, he might have had the evidence now.
However, he has already informed Su Xin, hoping that something can be remedied. As long as they return to the city, they will be searched, and if there is any clue, the surname Yue will not be able to escape. He will be able to make up for it.
Counting the hours, maybe there are already results now.
β¦β¦
Seeing that these officers and soldiers were about to rush up to search the carriage, Yue Xinran was about to step forward to stop them, hoping that some silver would be useful.
"What's going on?" A familiar voice rang out.
Chen Yueqing walked from the side, followed by the saber officer, walked slowly, and stood in front of Yue Xinran.
"Isn't this Linxian's brother? How did you get to us? Chen Yueqing listened to the whispers of the officials and said to the officers and soldiers in front of him.
"Check the spies. Chen Gongzi is better not to meddle in things. The other party is neither humble nor arrogant, obviously knows Chen Yueqing.
Although Chen Yuan is a county magistrate, most officials will still give him face, even his immediate boss, who let him have a good brother to be an official in the capital?
Today, however, these officers and men obviously do not intend to let go.
"How can it be an idle matter? This is the fiancΓ©e under the border, who is married. Chen Yueqing stretched out her arm and protected Yue Xinran behind her.
Several officials widened their eyes, and then they found that there was a woman behind the son, and they knew the marriage contract of the son, and the eldest girl of the Yue family, Yue Xinran.
Chen Yueqing continued: "Moreover, this is not Linxian, so the brothers are nosy. β
The leader was immediately a little undecided, he only came out to do things after receiving the news, and the informant had always been reliable. He didn't think much about it, so he brought someone over, because as long as this matter is done, he can be promoted and raised. Even if it doesn't work, it's just running an errand.
But now it seems that it will offend the people of the Chen Mansion, which is not good.
Looking at Chen Yueqing's posture, he couldn't search it no matter what. There is a sentence, Chen Yueqing is right, this is not Linxian after all, if Chen Yuan goes to Linxian to say a word to him, he will have to go around if he can't eat.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Misunderstanding. Until now, only by exposing the contents of the carriage can Childe be right. β
Chen Yueqing was about to say more, when a pair of small hands suddenly pulled the clothes on his back. When he turned around, he saw Yue Xinran's sparkling eyes.
She nodded.
Chen Yueqing thought for a while and said, "Then I'll lift the curtain, you can take care of it." He strode over, and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage one by one, revealing what it carried.
