Chapter 103: Losing money every year
Chu Lingfeng's image of Yang Guan is really a little different, and her maid is naturally different. At least it was definitely not a delicate little girl, so Yang Guan heard her say this, so he beckoned the coachman to stop.
Although Xiao Tian was embarrassed, but at this time, the demand overshadowed her face, and she couldn't control too much, as soon as the carriage stopped, her heart jumped hard, and then she looked around and got goosebumps all over her body. The hills in the dark night are filled with all kinds of sounds, and the shadows of the trees sway under the moonlight, which makes people think a lot of nonsense for no reason.
It is said to be a small hill, but in fact it is just a dirt slope, because it is not far from Linchuan, so it is not too desolate, and there will be no fierce beasts, there are many farms not far away, Chu Lingfeng knows, there are several farms in the Xue family.
Xiao Tian rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and looked back at Chu Lingfeng pitifully.
It is convenient to go farther, not to mention that there are a few strange men present, although they are very conscious of the gentleman's turn of sight, but Xiao Tian still feels that her face is hot.
"I'll go with you, over there." Chu Lingfeng pointed to a bush in the distance, the half-human-tall bush was very dense, and the two Xiao Tian could cover it tightly.
Although Yang Guan felt that something was wrong, he was not worried that Chu Lingfeng was so far away from his sight. But after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.
This kind of thing is very embarrassing, the three of them are big men, and no one can go over to protect them. Even saying more is rude.
"I'm right there." Chu Lingfeng pointed: "Come back immediately." ”
Yang Guan turned his face away and nodded.
Fortunately, there were no beasts here, and there were no people, and if anyone else approached, they would be the first to hear. What I am most afraid of is that there are snakes in the bushes, but according to Yang Guan's understanding, a miracle doctor like Chu Lingfeng usually carries a medicine bag on his body, and snakes, insects, rats and ants will retreat when they smell the smell, and they will not approach at all.
Chu Lingfeng held a small lamp that was temporarily lit, and Xiao Tian supported each other, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow in the grass, she and Xiao Tian did often carry sachets full of herbs, which could avoid encountering small insects in the wilderness.
Although everything seemed to be quiet and safe, Chu Lingfeng was a cautious person, and he still didn't go too far, and when he reached the back of the dense bushes, he gently pushed Xiao Tian: "Okay, let's do it here, they can't see or hear." ”
It is certain that you can't see, but if you hear or can't hear, Chu Lingfeng knows that these two people can do martial arts, and their hearing is much better than ordinary people, so it's hard to say.
But it's far enough away, and it's not safe to go any farther. Xue Mingyang deliberately found two subordinates who knew martial arts to escort her back to Linchuan, thinking that there might be danger along the way. Although Chu Lingfeng felt that he was a little filtered, it was not a bad thing to be cautious and cautious in the ship of ten thousand years.
Xiao Tian was really suffocated, and she always felt like she was hiding at night, so when she looked at the bushes, she couldn't care so much about trotting over.
Chu Lingfeng waited outside, looking around boredly, she used to follow her master up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, so she developed a habit, no matter where she went, as long as there were plants, she had to take a second look, maybe she would find some surprises.
But today, when I inadvertently looked at it, I saw the problem.
After Xiao Tian solved her personal problem, she came from behind the bushes with a twist, and then saw her young lady holding her hands in front of her chest, staring at a bush in a daze.
"Miss." Xiao Tian stretched out her hand and waved in front of Chu Lingfeng, and then looked at the place where her eyes were staring: "Miss, what are you looking at?" ”
Under the moonlight, Xiao Tian couldn't see Lingfeng's solemn face clearly, but she just saw her shaking her head and didn't speak, then took out a handkerchief from her arms, put it on her hand with a handkerchief, and seemed to peel something off the branch and wrap it up.
Xiao Tian saw it in her eyes, but she didn't feel too surprised. In the past, when she went out with Chu Lingfeng, she would also pick two leaves from time to time, catch a bug or something, sometimes it was very heavy and sometimes it was very happy, she was used to it.
Chu Lingfeng didn't explain anything, and after saying that he was afraid of wrapping the thing, he turned around and walked back, and Xiao Tian hurriedly followed.
Yang Guan and the others waited anxiously until Chu Lingfeng and Xiao Tian returned to the carriage, then they were relieved, the wheels were rolling, and they continued to hurry.
After Chu Lingfeng got into the carriage, he found a box and put the handkerchief in it along with the things wrapped inside, looking very cautious.
"Miss, what is this?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask, "Yes...... Leaves or bugs? ”
"Bugs." Chu Lingfeng said briefly: "But it's a kind of bug that shouldn't appear here, it's very strange...... By the way, you know a few farms around here, but you don't know. ”
As he spoke, Chu Lingfeng lifted the curtain and said, "Brother Yang, you are from Linchuan." ”
Yang Guan was originally sitting on the back of a horse and dozing off, but he woke up after being tossed just now, and Chu Lingfeng asked him something, so he nodded.
"Then you must be very familiar with Linchuan, do you know that there are several farms around here, who they are, and what is in them?" Although Chu Lingfeng is also a native of Linchuan, it is inconvenient for the girl's family to go out after all, and she sneaks out secretly and only follows Lin You to practice medicine or collect medicine with her face covered, and there is no opportunity to look around. This place is also the first time to visit.
"Around here?" Yang Guan's mind turned extremely fast, his brows furrowed, and said, "Did Madam find something?" ”
"It's something I've found, something terrible, but I tell you you don't understand it." Chu Lingfeng said: "This thing may be related to what I want to investigate this time, so if you know something, can you tell me?" ”
"There are three farmsteads around here." Yang Guan was not angry either, Chu Lingfeng said that he didn't understand when he told him, and thought about it: "The size of the three Zhuangzi is about the same, one is from the Liujia grain shop in the west of the city, and the other two are from the Xue family. These two places are directly managed by the old man of the Xue family, and the annual income is also directly handed over to the old man Xue. ”
Chu Lingfeng's eyebrows jumped when he heard this: "What about being more specific?" What are the crops in these two villages, grain or livestock, how many people are there, and what is the harvest? ”
Listening to what Yang Guan said without stammering at all, he knew that he had investigated. Chu Lingfeng estimated that Xue Mingyang ordered the investigation, and if he wanted to get all the family's property, he had to know what was going on first.
"One is good and one is bad." Yang Guan said: "But because the steward of the errand Zhuangzi once had a life-saving grace with Old Man Xue, he lost money to support the people in Zhuangzi, and never blamed them." (To be continued.) )
