Chapter 624: Don't Reveal Your Wealth
Guangling City Du Mansion, the afternoon sun is blazing, sitting at the doorhouse napping at the entrance of the door, hearing the sound of neat horses' hooves in the distance, lazy slightly open eyes, since the two young masters returned to Beijing, Guangling's Du Mansion is rarely visited, and only Mrs. Ding will come to see from time to time.
When the second lady of the Ding family came, there was usually only one carriage and two guards, and the sound of horses' hooves would not be as frequent as it is now, and it was more irregular.
Menzi thought in a daze, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the door, he opened his eyes and looked, He, it was the eldest young master of their family who came back, he quickly got up and greeted him, and his eyes did not forget to look left and right.
Didn't he say that the eldest young master of his family went to Meizhou to be a county magistrate? How could it be mixed with the hundred households in the health center? Although he was surprised in his heart, his face did not show it, he greeted Du Yunqi with a smile, "Young Master, you are back!" "
Du Yunqi nodded absentmindedly and handed the reins to Menzi, "Let people arrange Liu Baihu's residence, send someone to send a tribute to Governor Ding's mansion, and then go to the restaurant to call a table of banquets, and let them pick the best one to send it."
As soon as the corner gate came out, the steward was busy answering the promise, and the little guys stepped forward to wait for these soldiers on big horses, leading the tall horses, and the little ones who were a little timid shrank their necks in fear.
Du Yunqi and Liu Baihu said: "Please also ask a few grievances, wait for the younger brother to come back safely, and then invite the brothers to have a good meal."
"Lord Du is polite." Liu Baihu bowed his hand to him, handed over the horse to the servants to take care of, and followed the steward to settle himself.
Du Yunqi went back to the room to clean up a little, and then went to Ding's mansion, Second Uncle Ding was already waiting for him, and when he saw him come in, he was busy comforting him." Don't worry, that kid is blessed and should be fine."
"I hope to give you good advice."
Second Uncle Ding recruited staff members and explained to Du Yunqi the geographical environment of Xiulin Town, as well as several forces that haunted near Xiulin Town.
"According to what Mr. Zhu said, this Han Dou and Zhang Fang can be excluded, but this Huang Zhiye may be the main messenger behind the scenes."
Don't say I don't know. This Xiulin Town looks small. However, because of the good location, the ships coming and going here have to stop for a while. I restocked it, but because the surrounding area is a mountain and the hinterland is small, I can't show it if I want to. There is no open space to spread.
Han Dou and Zhang Fang were divided into the south and north of Xiulin Town, and almost the entire Xiulin Town was under the control of the two of them. Last year's disaster, many people left their hometowns for their livelihoods, and Huang Zhiye came to Xiulin Town under such circumstances.
"This Huang Zhiye was originally from Meizhou. During the drought last year, his family was able to withstand it, but then it was flooded. His old son and mother are old, and he can't stand it anymore and goes. The land was submerged, the harvest was completely gone, and when he met a landlord who had no conscience, he wanted to forcibly detain his wife and daughter to pay off his debts."
Not to mention that the year is not good, it is a bumper harvest, and there are also those who have lost their conscience, and there are those who rely on their power to force people to sell their wives and daughters to pay off their debts, not to mention that this time it is a real natural disaster!
Huang Zhiye had a dispute with the landlord in order to protect his wife and daughter, and accidentally injured the landlord's grandson, so he was accused to the government, and the official and the landlord were friends for eight worships, plus received the landlord's filial piety, so Huang Zhiye was sentenced to the crime.
As a result, Huang Zhiye escaped with the help of others, and his whereabouts have not been known until two months ago, when it was rumored that he had settled in Xiulin Town.
"Huang Zhiye is not a simple person, not long after he arrived in Xiulin Town, he killed Han Dou, Zhang Fang was also seriously injured and disabled, although the deputies of the two of them barely supported themselves, but most of their subordinates have already taken refuge in Huang Zhiye."
"What do they do for a living? Is there a precedent for kidnapping people for extortion?"
"Not really." Second Uncle Ding's staff thought for a moment, shook his head and replied.
Second Uncle Ding said: "The commander of Yao Du has already sent a letter to ask the deputy commander of Tang to help, and Jingli Yanfu has also ordered the towns around the river to pay more attention."
Du Yunqi looked at Huang Zhiye's information, and already had the bottom in his heart, if Du Yunfang was forcibly taken away by this person, I am afraid that he had other plans.
After Second Uncle Ding knocked away all the staff, he confessed to Second Uncle Ding.
Second Uncle Ding sighed for a long time, "If that's the case, it's hard for you to do it!" "
Du Yunqi smiled bitterly, "I don't know how he suddenly thought that he would come to Guangling to study, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe."
Second Uncle Ding also smiled bitterly, "People are not as good as heaven, when he wanted to come south to study, no one thought that he would encounter this catastrophe!" "
Du Yunqi nodded, he was not close to Xiao Wan's children, knowing that Xiao Wan's was crazy and paralyzed, he only thought in his heart, retribution!
Who let her hurt Yun Yao and Yun Xun, and from time to time to make trouble for their brothers, if it wasn't for her grandfather's defense, if she was allowed to succeed, their two brothers would have been ruined by her before they entered the ranks.
Grandfather only took away the power of her family, in his opinion, it was too slight, no wonder he would kill people with a knife in the end, and he also raised a soft ear, and after listening to a few teasing words, he was bold enough to dare to poison his family, but thinking about her mother, she was no longer surprised by Du Yunlei's actions when she didn't poison Yun Yao and Yun Xun in the first place!
Because it is difficult to elaborate on the letter, Mrs. Ding's family letter to the second son did not go into detail, so the second uncle Ding did not know the details of Mrs. Du's mother and daughter, only knew that it was the uncle's political enemies who sent to Du's mansion under the poisonous hands, Du Yunlei and Fu were cousins' concubines, and they were innocently implicated in death.
Du Yunqi thought about it, and finally decided to explain to Second Uncle Ding, Second Uncle Ding only knew what Du Yunlei had done at this time, and was stunned for a long time before asking: "How do you know so much?" What did I tell you about the return to normal? Write a letter to say? Are you sure this won't get out?"
"Fu Chang and I set up a code language with chess games, and he wrote it to me in code words, even if outsiders see the letter, they only think that we are discussing chess games."
Ding II. [,! Uncle was immediately very curious, and pressed Du Yunqi to let him confess, Du Yunqi had to teach him the simplest one, and after reading it, Second Uncle Ding smiled and said: "With this method, I am not afraid that the letter will be robbed halfway."
Du Yun said in his heart, as if you had never used a similar method of communication before.
There is the commander of the deputy capital of Tang, and Liu Baihu, who came with Du Yunqi from Meizhou, naturally obeys the command of the deputy capital of Tang in everything.
Du Yunqi rested at his house for a night, and then moved to Second Uncle Ding's house, so that it was much easier for everyone to discuss things.
After receiving the news, Du Yunqi immediately sent a letter back to Beijing to inform his grandfather and father.
As more and more news was found, Du Yunqi was probably able to piece together the original appearance of the matter, and at this time, Du Yunxun also arrived in Xiulin Town.
Because Du Yunfang disappeared here, the accompanying guards and attendants did not dare to let him get off the ship, for fear that the same thing would happen again, no matter what Du Yunxun said, it was useless.
"With you to protect me, will I still have an accident?" He just wanted to see where it was, but after arguing with them for three days, he still couldn't get them to nod.
Du Yunxun didn't believe in evil, and made up his mind to get involved with them, the guards gritted their teeth and shook their heads, if they didn't agree, they didn't agree, and they also moved Du Xiang out, "When I went out, the old lady explained, and the second young master was definitely not allowed to make trouble."
Du Yunxun still argued with reason, "It's my younger brother who is missing, and I, as my elder brother, came to the place where he disappeared, how could I leave without even looking at it?"
"What are you looking for? The third young master is no longer there? What are you going to see?" The guard armor is a little weak, he never knew that the second young master was so difficult to serve, who told him that the second young master has the best temper and is the most reasonable?
The next time someone tells him that, he's going to knock him over with one punch.
"But mortals who have been in that place will always leave some clues, and I want to see if the captives have left clues there."
Well, they didn't understand it at all, but at least they knew why the second young master insisted.
"What the second young master said is also reasonable, we are prepared, with our protection, can we still put the second young master in danger? Moreover, when we passed through the county seat, we had already greeted the people from the county magistrate and the health center, and if something happened to us here, they would definitely come and investigate."
It makes sense.
"But hasn't the magistrate of this place sent a government to investigate, let's go, and we can find clues that they haven't seen?" Although the second young master of their family has an official status, what he is good at is painting, not handling cases!
"In short, let's go according to the second young master's wishes! What if the Second Young Master can find the clues of the Third Young Master now?"
The guards were divided into three factions, one agreed to Du Yunxun's request, one disagreed, and the other did not express their position.
Because Du Yunfang's stunned little guy had been sent to Guangling, Du Yunxun and the others could only learn from the mouth of the mayor of Xiulin Town, Lu Town, and others that Du Yunfang's little guy was now located.
Although he is getting older, Du Yunxun's handsomeness has not been detracted by this, nor has it changed because of the shallow scar on his face, but has added a little heroism, Fan Anyang bothered to feed, and finally let him increase his meat, although he is not as heroic as a martial artist, but Sven's elegant appearance, standing in a group of martial artists, highlights his handsomeness, walking in the town, attracting the attention of many big girls and little daughters-in-law.
Du Yun looked at it as if he was looking around, only concentrating on the situation around him.
The place where the little guy was found is not very secret, but it is not on the side of the road, it is at the mouth of an alley not far from the wharf.
What a fool!
Du Yunqi was talking to Second Uncle Ding about this, and Second Uncle Ding slapped the table, "This fool! Isn't there anyone who teaches him the truth that wealth is not revealed?"
Du Yun said in his heart, maybe no one really taught him! Du Yunlei just wants to harm Ah Zhao, will she teach Du Yunfang this? Don't be silly!
In Jingli, he is Du Xiang's grandson, and the one who is not long-sighted will pick up his money? Don't want to live anymore? When Du Xiang walked there, they were all guards, the attendants followed, and so did the eldest master, Du Yunqi dared to say that the two of them had never taught Du Yunfang this.
"It's also that he is unlucky, others expose their wealth to attract thieves, at most they spend money to eliminate disasters, but he is taken captive." Second Uncle Ding said in his heart, it's just that after being taken away, something may have happened! (To be continued)
