Chapter 270: Reclamation of Sandy Land
They tossed the private salt for a long time before they finally transported it back to the small city and sealed it. "All this salt will be clear evidence of guilt."
Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, with Hou Qu and Xiong Li, several people used a lot of yellow rouge, and their faces were sallow, which was the same as before.
"This time, don't let them recognize it." Liu Yichen thought. "When we get the evidence of his incrimination, we'll hold him down and see how he reacts."
Their group exchanged 200,000 taels of silver for a few silver tickets. He drove the carriage into the city and opened a room in an inn.
The shopkeeper looked at them, thinking that they had come from the village to do small business, and he didn't want much. "Don't break the furniture in the room."
Liu Yichen just smiled kindly and said. "Shopkeeper, we don't mess around." Stick the silver ticket tightly to your body, and it will be bad if it is stolen.
They packed up their things and looked at the mansion in the distance. "If you find Cao Shilang's house, there will inevitably be new incriminating evidence."
Song Zhiyao walked forward, and walked for a long time before she arrived in front of the mansion. There are rich and noble people, tethered to high-headed horses, and the momentum is prosperous.
Liu Yichen was puzzled. "Where are you going? This unfortunate place, the road is really narrow, and there is no address, we are really hard to find. ”
They walked for a long time, looking into the distance, a familiar figure, holding a singer, flashed by, and disappeared at the intersection.
Hou Qu said vigilantly. "My lord, let's go over there, that person seems to be Cao Shilang, looking at the corner on the left, he won't go far."
Several of them turned sideways, their heads bowed, and looked cautiously ahead. The towering shadow of the pavilion shone on them with the blood-red sunset.
Suddenly, the figure reached the front, bent over, and disappeared in an instant. Suddenly, two housekeepers on the side, holding long sticks in their hands, led the dog over.
The two of them came to Liu Yichen and shouted loudly. "You dogs, ghosts and ghosts, are you here to be thieves? Get the hell out of here. ”
Liu Yichen raised his head and said confidently. "We're just here to go around, you people, why do you want to embarrass us."
Song Zhiyao looked around and felt that the situation was not right. "Husband, we seem to have gone to the wrong place, and the market we are going to is at the opposite intersection."
The two housekeepers led the dog and barked. The few of them, no longer entangled with them, ran out of the mansion group and headed for the bridge.
On the stone arch bridge, there were many small vendors selling things. The night sky is clear, the stars are twinkling, and the market is bustling.
A few of them hid in the crowd and walked to a refreshment shop. "Xianggong, that place is heavily guarded, and if we break in, we will inevitably be discovered."
Listening to her words, Liu Yichen said with a wry smile. "Yao'er, I don't know any of this, I just hope to find him and sneak there."
Hou Qu and Xiong Li also echoed on the side. "My lord, Madam is right, since Cao Shilang is like this, he can't be so lax as a thief."
A few people were talking, tasting dessert, Miss Nale, they were very vigilant, except for letting Liu Yichen come here and wait, there was no more to say.
Before you know it, it's unitary time. The footsteps on the side of the road are gradually becoming scarce. Liu Yichen drank a few cups of bitter tea in a row, and his mind was refreshed.
"I can only respond to all changes with the same." He pulled Song Zhiyao and walked together. "Wait until tomorrow, I don't know if there is any other news."
They walked down the alley, and they didn't know where they went wrong, and they walked into a crooked path, turning around and turning around, and they couldn't get out.
"What the hell." Song Zhiyao broke out in a cold sweat on her head. "It's like a ghost hitting the wall, and when you walk a pillar of incense, you come back around."
At this time, heavy dark clouds drifted in the sky, and after a while, it rained. The four of them hurried down to the eaves.
A cold wind blew in the air. Song Zhiyao felt a shiver in her body, and leaned on Liu Yichen tightly. "Xianggong, it's so cold."
They looked into the distance, and there was a bright inn. "Anyway, go and hide for a while, and you still have enough money on you."
The four of them tossed for a while, and finally stepped on the threshold, and their bodies were wet. The chubby shopkeeper over there said with his eyelids.
"The room is full, please go out." Liu Yichen walked forward, stretched out his hand, and patted the silver. "Shopkeeper, we'll just stay overnight and leave."
The shopkeeper looked at the money and smiled. "It's just that there is also an ear room with miscellaneous items, just next to the latrine, you can live here, don't move around."
Several of them went to the house next to the latrine. There was only a small narrow bed, and Liu Yichen gently put Song Zhiyao on the bed.
"Yao'er, rest early." He wiped Song Zhiyao's hair, took off his clothes, and after a long time, Song Zhiyao fell asleep.
The three of them, in this narrow place, could not even stretch their feet. "My lord, the two of us go out, just enough for adults to sleep."
Liu Yichen said with a smile. "It doesn't have to be this way." He felt a little anxious, and when he reached the edge of the latrine, he heard several people talking inside.
"Big brother, this time I bought snow, but I was afraid that the court would grasp it tightly and confiscate the goods, if it is unstable, what should I do?" Another hoarse voice said.
"Little brother, you are still too timid, in time for Cao Gong, the people behind are very strong, and the eagle dogs of the court are just catching a few hawkers."
Another said. "The price of snow has dropped again, seize the opportunity, and make a lot of money." They are very happy.
Liu Yichen looked sideways, and those people were dressed in rich clothes and had a fat face. "I didn't expect it to be crooked, and I finally knew what to do."
He leaned sideways, hiding in the hay. Those people came out drunk, and Liu Yichen quietly followed them and wrote down their room.
"We'll follow them tomorrow." Early the next morning, Liu Yichen saw them come out of the room and get into the carriage.
Song Zhiyao and the others took out copper coins in their hands, and also hired a carriage to follow together. After walking for more than half an hour, I arrived at Cao's Mansion.
There was a black wooden sign hanging on it, and not a word was written. There are huge stone lions on both sides, and in front of the door is a marble staircase with a height of one zhang.
The men jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and went in. Liu Yichen and them were observing this mansion from the outside.
The towering wall, two feet high, was still covered with spikes. From time to time, the barking of vicious dogs can be heard. They went around and couldn't find any gaps.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Miss Le's voice came from behind. "This is the gate, and this girl will take you in."
Liu Yichen turned his head and smiled politely. "It's causing us to look around, but this business, it's also a good thing to be careful about sailing a 10,000-year-old ship."
After waiting for a long time, the two little doormen opened the wooden door and shouted long. "Zi Niujia, enter the door." A few of them followed Miss Le into the door.
Liu Yichen looked around, rows of armed men, holding spears and sharp knives in their hands, with a vicious face. After walking in the corridor for a long time, I saw Cao Shilang again.
His face was fatter and more puffy and pale than before, with two big black circles and a melancholy look, sitting cross-legged on the Taishi chair.
"Is that you?" His voice lowered and he looked into the distance. It felt like the four of them were a little familiar, but they couldn't remember where they were.
Liu Yichen walked up with an arrow and saluted. "The villain knew that the snow was famous, and in order to make a fortune in the snow, he came here thousands of miles away."
Cao Shilang said with a long smile. "I came to see you in person, even if I also have the capital, let me see the silver ticket, otherwise I don't have to talk about it anymore."
They took out neat silver tickets from their shirts and handed them to Cao Shilang. He looked at the numbers on it, unable to believe it was true, and looked at the mottled pattern on the face of the ticket in the bright sunlight.
Xiao felt a tremor in his body and slumped on the bed. Slowly raised his body and kneaded his small and cute belly button.
Shawd crossed his legs on her and struggled for a long time. A cheeky smile appeared on his lips. "Lady, I just want a big fat boy."
Listening to his words, Xiao's eyebrows lowered and his heart beat wildly. Gently put that beautiful face on him. "Husband, there will definitely be."
Although Xiao himself knew that Lang Zhong's words were right, Xiao De was destined to have no descendants of his own, and there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in his heart.
Shawd was covered in sweat and lay beautifully on her belly, her head hanging and snoring like thunder. She looked at the ethereal night sky in the distance, but she couldn't sleep.
"I wonder where my husband is?" The handsome face was reflected in front of him again, looking at her and smiling. It's so warm that it melts my heart.
Her feelings for Shaw are complicated and tangled. This man may be incompetent, hopeless, cruel to himself, but also pitiful.
Xiao really didn't know what to do. The sound of heavy breathing pressed her evenly. She let out a long sigh.
Her head was covered with cold sweat, and her heart was getting heavier. "It would be nice if I could split the slave family in two." After a long time, the sky was bright.
Shodd straightened up and stretched his back. Pacing down. Xiao also put away the futon, took his clothes, and went to the well to wash.
She slowly wiped the water from her clothes, and was stunned for a while, looking at the bright sunlight, her eyes were fascinated. My mind went blank.
"I wonder when he's coming?" Xiao Shi was anxious to miss his lover in his heart, and his face was crimson and his body was hot when he thought of him.
At noon, Shawd took her hand again and asked her to carry the cloth. She does tired work every day, and she can't do it tired.
Every night, Shawd hugged her body in his arms and did his best to linger with her. "Give birth to a fat boy and come out, so that you can have a drink."
Every time Xiao struggled to cope, she felt a cold snake swimming mercilessly in her body, disturbing her heart.
"It's pathetic." She looked at Shawd as he fell asleep, knowing that he could not be persuaded. "It's only one day of grinding, it's one day."
For months, her stomach didn't move. The beloved lover no longer appeared, and she vaguely felt in her heart that it was just a dream.
"Do your own thing with peace of mind!" Shawd seemed to trust her a little more than before, and let her sit on the counter, packing up the copper coins and broken silver.
At this point, it was already dark. Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen looked at Xiao Shi and listened attentively. "But that's the case."
Xiao Shi grabbed the futon on his body, his eyes were hollow, and he was dazed and helpless. "If it hadn't been for that day, maybe all three of us would still be alive."
It turned out that after those days, Xiao De saw Xiao's stomach, and his stomach had not moved, and he was very anxious. "But why is this so, I'm afraid it's not perfunctory to me?"
Xiao Shi looked at his stern appearance, and secretly complained in his heart. "Husband, what's the matter? Pregnant in October, where can it be so fast? ”
Her monthly physiological response is also normal, and her heart is also anxious. "It would be nice to have a child soon."
Another night, Shawd shut her in the door. "You woman, I also want to understand you, there must be something boring."
As he spoke, he waved his rough hand and made a gesture to strike. Xiao Shi was so frightened that his body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his head. "Husband, forgive the slaves."
He stretched out his hand and pinched her back hard, leaving her body covered with mottled bruises, blue and purple. "I won't trust you anymore."
Xiao was beaten so recklessly and unreasonably, and it hurt. Struggling to run around, his head hitting the corner of the wall and blood spurting from the corner of his mouth.
