Chapter 102: The Husband Sings and the Wife Follows
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing returned to Lulongguan again, this time accompanied by a delicate Peng girl. Miss Peng is still dressed in men's clothes, as for whether she is delicate and sweet, it is just Ximenqing's speculation. The girl who tastes love for the first time is always very gentle and enthusiastic, Ximen Qingcai doesn't believe that when the two of them are in private contact, they won't be in love, and they will do something.
It is said that his sister-in-law of the Ximen family had a tender time for him at the beginning. Looking at the tender and sweet appearance of the two, Ximenqing sometimes thought sourly: "Don't be happy too early, you look at it, as soon as she passes the door, the little white rabbit will become a tigress, and she will not be her, hum!" β
The promised trucks are still gathering in an orderly manner to the designated place, although those handlebar types are small roles, but they have been doing this business for a long time, experienced, and have not contacted the master's house, and they also know that the situation is different, but they have not yet traded, and now they are just driving an empty car, not afraid of anyone checking it, and not afraid of being caught. Anyway, the proprietor had already paid half of the fare, and they had taken the money and the loyalty of the people, and whether the lord's family came or not, they just went there as they were told.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qingbi delayed the scheduled transaction time for three days, and after rushing to Lulong Pass to get in touch with Ren Rishang, they learned that the people from the Ha Lai tribe had already arrived, and they had been waiting for several days outside the pass to eat and drink the snow, Xia Xun hurriedly asked Ren Rishang to get in touch with the Hala Mang Lai Department outside the pass, and the transaction was carried out that night.
In the evening, above the pass, Shen Jia, the deputy Qianhu, gave an order, the lights were extinguished two-thirds, and the entire pass fell into darkness. One hundred and ten carts lined up in the pass, and the goods were loaded with one and drove away, and under the leadership of Ximenqing, they drove to the valley that he and Xia Xun had found in advance to hide.
Xia Xun stood under the gate and received the goods with the cooperation of Ren Rishang.
There are not many tribal cars from Haramang, and the goods are mainly loaded with oxen, horses and camels, so after entering the customs, they must be unloaded and then loaded onto the carts, which will delay time, and after a hundred carts of goods are loaded, the sky is already dark.
"Okay, you go back with your cows, horses, and camels, and we'll go buy some grain and cloth."
Dai Yubin shouted orders to the people who went back, turned to Ren Rishang again, nodded and smiled: "Lord Ren, the weather is cold, there is not much grain in stock, we have to buy some grain and cloth to go back, and we will come back in a few days, and we will trouble ......the adults when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, be careful yourself, don't mess around, obediently buy all the things, go back."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Dai Yubin agreed, and glanced at Xi Ri Bari and the others, and a group of people escorted several large cars behind Xia Xun's truck.
"Slow!"
Ren Rishang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step forward, stopped in front of a car, looked at the car suspiciously, stretched out his hand and said, "What's going on?" β
Xia Xun, who was about to leave with the last few cars, also stopped, and in the dim light, he saw a white-bearded old man lying in the car, covered with a thick dog skin mattress, Dai Yubin nodded and said, "My lord, he ...... It's my dad. My father is old, he is sick with a cold, and the witch doctors in the tribe can't cure it, so I'm in a hurry, so I took advantage of this time to enter the customs and specially brought my father over to see the disease. β
Ren Rishang pinched his chin, leaned closer to take a closer look at the seriously ill old man, reached out and touched his forehead, lifted the dogskin mattress and carefully inspected the underneath, to make sure that there was no hidden weapon, and then frowned: "If you just buy some grain and cloth, the surrounding towns will be." The fever is so bad, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Peking to seek medical treatment, where ......"
Dai Yubin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the villain in Beiping has also been in before, there is absolutely no problem with our road guide, even if the villain enters the city, he will see my father, and he will leave after grabbing the medicine, and he will not cause trouble." β
Ren Rishang snorted and said to Xia Xun: "Brother Xia, you are also going back to Beiping, please help take care of it, if something really happens to them, it will be very troublesome." β
Although Xia Xun planned to return to Jiangnan after handing over this errand, he dragged it on until Jianwen ascended the throne and cut the wind of the domain, but since this business was planned by King Qi for a long time, he was not too indifferent to this "long-term" business partner, and besides, he was going back to Beiping, anyway, it was a way, and it didn't hurt to take care of it, so he agreed to come down.
Dai Yubin thanked and refused again and again, and Xia Xun smiled: "Okay, okay, anyway, it's on the way, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, don't shirk, let's get out of here quickly." β
Dai Yubin had no choice but to agree.
There was nothing to say all the way, the car arrived in Beiping, Ximen Qing had been to Beiping a few times, familiar with the road, so he enthusiastically took them to a Langzhong's house, pointed to the banner at the door and said: "Well, this is here, this Lang is very skilled in medicine, and he ...... among my peers, well, you take Lingzun over to the doctor to grab medicine, and we will leave." β
Although Dai Yubin and the others thought that their father was seeing a doctor as a pretext, Xi Rigou Lige did have a cold fever and was quite seriously ill, and it was very problematic whether they could follow them into the palace in this state, and they really needed to treat him first, so several people sincerely thanked Xi Rigou Lige and wanted to take Xi Rigou Lige down.
Xia Xun got off the horse, and also stepped forward to help the handle, and put Xi Ri Gou Lige down, Xi Ri Bari grabbed Xi Ri Gou Lige's arm from Xia Xun's hand, and said: "Don't dare to work, we will come." β
Dai Yubin, who pretended to be a filial son, thanked him without saying anything, and after thanking the two, the two of them carried the old eunuch into Nalangzhong's house.
Ximen Qing turned over and said to Xia Xun: "Let's go, let's go see Xie Chuanzhong and ask him to immediately arrange the water and land roads and start the shipment." β
Xia Xun got on his horse, looked at the gate of the courtyard and took a deep look, and saw that several Mongolians were arranging the carriage and horses in front of the door, so he kicked the horse's belly and walked forward hesitantly.
"What, you have something on your mind?"
Peng Ziqi turned sideways and asked softly.
Although the two of them have not clearly confessed anything, but they have understood each other's intentions, Peng Ziqi confessed his feelings to him with actions, and Xia Xun also expressed his acceptance of her with actions.
Now that he has been his lover, love has completely changed Miss Peng's appearance, she began to become gentle and careful, Xia Xun's mood fluctuated slightly, Ximenqing didn't feel it, but she felt it.
Xia Xun said hesitantly: "That sick old man...... I think it's a bit of a problem. β
Peng Ziqi said: "Questions? I don't think his condition is pretending, what can be the problem? β
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "There is no problem with illness, there is a problem with people." β
Ximen Qing grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Huh? What did you find? β
Xia Xun lifted the horse, leaned to his side, and said in a low voice: "When I went to help him, I smelled a strong smell of urine, which was very bad. It's easy to explain that they have a fishy smell, but I feel that something is wrong with such thick clothes and such a flush smell of urine. β
Ximenqing rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" β
Xia Xun said: "I like idle books, I have read a book before, and there is such a thing mentioned in it. It is said that the father-in-law who was castrated because he injured the urethra and couldn't control the drenching all day long, so there was always a smell of rot on his body, so he had to spray spices to cover up the smell, and the eunuchs were also called rotten people, which was also a reason. β
Ximen Qing said: "What book are you reading?" β
Xia Xun said in his heart: "I watched "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", even if I tell you, do you know." β
Ximen Qing didn't really want him to answer, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that you are well-read, and you have even read medical books, yes, eunuchs do have this problem, but you won't suspect that he is a eunuch just because that person smells of urine, right?" Hehe, the eunuch who came over the grassland, and the eldest son? Hehe......"
He laughed twice, and his smile suddenly froze.
Xia Xun said slowly: "Although the people on the grassland don't love cleanliness very much, they don't urinate on their bodies, if it's because of illness and inconvenience, it's not right to pee on their pants, and the smell of urine is not fresh." I had just smelled it, and somehow remembered the statement I had read in the book, so I looked at his chin intently. β
He was silent for a moment, and then added, "The goatee on his chin, when viewed closely, looks unnatural, as if it was glued on." β
At this time, Ximen Qing spoke: "On the grassland...... There should also be eunuchs, the Northern Yuan Emperor...... He who is served by eunuchs......"
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of awe in each other's eyes. Peng Ziqi looked at the two of them and listened a little inexplicably, but seeing the looks of the two of them, Peng Ziqi closed his mouth very smartly.
Ximenqing thought about it, and felt that this idea was really ridiculous, and couldn't help but say, "Is there really a problem?" That man was really sick. β
Xia Xun said: "There is no problem with bringing patients to seek medical advice. The question is, if the old man was really a eunuch, why did he say that he was the father of the man surnamed Dai? β
Ximenqing hesitated: "Perhaps...... He was just castrated from an injury? Maybe...... Was that man indeed the son he had born before castration? Maybe...... He was indeed a eunuch in the Northern Yuan Palace, but he had a high status in the Hara Manglai tribe, and in order to treat him, it was inconvenient for the people in the gate to know that this person was a ......."
Xia Xun said: "What you say is possible, but if these are not right, then they ...... There must be a big problem! β
Ximen Qing said: "I think...... Your suspicion is too serious, there are only a dozen or twenty people in total, and they don't have any weapons in their hands, if there is really any conspiracy, what kind of storm can they set off? β
Xia Xun's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "The enemy with a knife is not terrible, if a person has malice in his heart, but he does not hold a knife and gun in his hand, it is really terrible, because you don't know what he is going to do." β
Ximenqing shook his head and said, "I still think that you are a little too suspicious." You don't really know anything now, just smelling a kind of urine on him, you think of the eunuch whimsically, and then you think of the conspiracy inexplicably, which is a bit ......"
Xia Xun said: "At first, I was indeed a little whimsical, just such a flash in my heart, such a ridiculous thought, if it wasn't for seeing the strange appearance of his beard, if it wasn't for the Mongolian man who was in a hurry to take back his arm from my hands, I wouldn't be so suspicious."
Since I had my suspicions, I wanted to find a reason to support my doubts, so I thought again...... this is not the first time that the Ha Manglai tribe has done business with the people in our Guanli, and it is not only our business. In other words, since this old man is so sick, there is no need for that dutiful son to wait for three days and three nights outside Lulong Pass, and he has to wait for us to trade with him before bringing this old man over. If you want to see a doctor for Lao Tzu, if he only takes a cart of goods to pass through the customs, the customs will not be so solemn at all, even if no one answers here, as long as they draw tax money, they will let him over. β
Ximenqing groaned: "Well, you say that, there is some truth ......"
Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "They got in because they traded with us, if there is really any plot ......, I will do things, but ask for peace of mind!" If I don't find out, I'm not at ease. β
Ximenqing smiled bitterly: "We are also outsiders in Beiping, if you want to check him, how can you check him?" Turning to Xie Chuanzhong for help? Xie Laocai and these people from the Hara Mang Department are closer than us. β
Peng Ziqi stepped forward and said: "What's so embarrassing about this, leave it to me!" β
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing looked at her together, and Peng Ziqi smiled softly at Xia Xun: "If you want to check, I'll help you!" β
Xia Xun said worriedly: "This is very difficult and dangerous, those big men, none of them are easy to deal with." You're alone, and it's hard to keep an eye on them. β
Peng Ziqi said: "No problem, although I came alone, but in Beiping, I have my own ......, my Peng family has a wide range of contacts, and there are also some local forces in Beiping who have dealings with my Peng family, I can turn to them for help, those city fox society rats, ruffians and scoundrels can't do anything else, so they can stare at people and listen to some false and real news." β
Xia Xun was greatly moved when he heard this: "This method is good, in this case, let's hurry up and see your friends of the Peng family, while those Mongolian people are seeing a doctor, it will delay some time, please keep an eye on them immediately." β
Peng Ziqi said: "What about me, don't you need me to keep an eye on them?" β
Xia Xun said: "If these people are okay, then I suspect that there are dark ghosts." If there is really a problem, the local Lakshen who is responsible for contacting them has a problem, Brother Simon knows where Narakshen lives, you just keep an eye on him, he is the local snake of the Mongols, if there is indeed a plan, he will act. β
Peng Ziqi said tamely: "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
Ximen Qing said with red eyes: "The ancients said: the husband advocates, the woman follows, and the world is reasonable." Why doesn't it work in my house? "β»The fastest update is, of course, Baidu Jinyi Night Walkβ»
