Rao is like this, Cao Shilang pretended to be reluctant and said. "The little one just admires the adult, and I want to see the adult's face a few more times."

Listening to his clumsy sycophancy, Liu Yichen almost didn't laugh. "I'm just here to rest for a while, but I'll listen to Madame."

Looking at Liu Yichen's appearance, Cao Shilang smiled earnestly. "It's just that here, there is also a beautiful Tiandian Lake, it's a pity not to go."

The two of them calculated in their hearts that the lake was along a stream, and after a few miles it was the sea. "That's really troublesome, and it's a great honor."

After Liu Yichen finished eating, he walked back to the room with Song Zhiyao. He was surprised to find that Mrs. Cao, since that night, had been closed in the boudoir.

Thinking that she had already explained everything, Liu Yichen was very suspicious. "If she repents and betrays us, what if she does?"

Song Zhiyao also thought of this, and whispered close to Liu Yichen's ear. "Xianggong, the appearance of that lady, I'm afraid that she is uncertain."

Just as the two of them were thinking, there was a soft knock on the door. In enter, a maid dressed in a white gauze skirt with a candlestick in her hand.

She said with a smile. "Two distinguished guests, this is sent by the lady, there is incense lit in it, it tastes very good, just put it on the windowsill."

Then, she pulled Liu Yichen over, bit her ear, and whispered. "My lord, Madame is in good health, she said, Cao Shilang will go to the ferry in five days."

Hearing the woman's words, Liu Yichen was also relieved. "Go back and take care of Madame, let her take care of her body, and pay more attention to the situation outside."

After a while, Liu Yichen closed the door and discussed with Song Zhiyao. "Yao'er, Madame believes in us, in five days, we will be ready."

Thinking of this, Song Zhiyao leaned her head on Liu Yichen's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. He looked into the distance, and he didn't know how much Hou Qu Xiong was doing.

For Liu Yichen, everything has already been planned. When Cao Shilang was caught at the ferry, the two joined forces with him inside and outside to take Yanshan.

In this way, the evidence of Cao Shilang's crime will not be destroyed. With these, the court can also follow the vine and catch the rest of the people.

Liu Yichen thought about it intently for a long time, and decided to visit the lake tomorrow, and he would pay attention to two more eyes, and he was happy with Cao Shilang, ready to make a secret plan.

The next morning, Cao Shilang came over with a few handsome and beautiful maids. "My lord, let's go, just to enjoy the lotus flowers."

Those women, one by one, squeezed their eyebrows, made a coquettish appearance, and went to Liu Yichen. "It doesn't have to be that way, I just like to be pure."

Song Zhiyao stood aside, her face distorted with anger. "I didn't expect him to do such a bad thing? It's so shameless. ”

Cao Shilang looked at Liu Yichen and smiled. "Originally, I didn't want to bring these women, but they made trouble for me, and I was embarrassed."

Soon, Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao got into the carriage. The carriages of the maids followed. All the way, the servants drove the people.

The people, in a hurry, took refuge, fell to the ground, and were beaten with sticks by the officials. Liu Yichen looked out the window, indignant.

"This Cao Shilang is too shameless to do." Liu Yichen sniffed and smelled the car, there seemed to be a strange fragrance, which confused his mind.

He pinched his nose, and it took a while for him to come to his senses. took Song Zhiyao's hand and lowered his voice. "Yao'er, do you smell it?"

Song Zhiyao frowned, feeling the breath pressing on her brain. I touched my hand and found a round incense stick under my seat.

Liu Yichen looked at the incense, as dirty as earth, with dark gray patterns. "This thing, inevitably, is what deceives our minds."

Thinking of this, he pinched his fingers and shook them vigorously. The incense was twisted into a circle. The wheel swirled around and crushed it out.

At the same time, Cao Shilang was behind the carriage, thinking about the silver, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it. "These two hateful things are in my way."

After receiving the silver, Cao Shilang ordered the Yanshan side to persecute the slave laborers to death. In these ten days, a lot of salt has been dug up, but he needs to preside over the transportation.

After a long time, the carriages stopped by the lake. In the lake, there are a few painting boats. Inside, many maids greeted them.

Liu Yichen got out of the carriage in a drowsy manner, looked around, and felt very ominous in his heart. "Madam, let's go back to the capital now, don't delay others."

Cao Shilang walked up again, pretending to stay. Song Zhiyao looked at the maid's face, feeling that something was wrong, and thought that once she got on the boat, something would happen.

She said firmly. "My lord, it's really hard to be gracious, it's just that the emperor's brother is entangled in official business, and he has to be like the emperor when he goes back to the capital."

The two of them quickly left Cao Shilang, looked at the vast continent, and walked forward slowly. "Xianggong, that smell really goes straight to the top of my head."

Liu Yichen turned his head, glanced behind him, and smiled disdainfully. "I actually used the trick of the mountain thief, I really think highly of him."

The two of them walked for a long time before they found a small inn. "Yao'er, tomorrow we will go back to the county seat, and let the county order dispatch a team to arrest them quickly."

She asked, confused. "If that's the case, if we go to the ferry again, he will be alert, and we won't be able to catch him if we open our nets."

Liu Yichen ignored her, looked at the back, a thin short man, carrying a flat pole, swayed, walked to the side of the table and sat down.

It turned out that the dwarf was Cao Shilang's eyeliner, and Cao Shilang specially ordered him to secretly kill Liu Yichen and the others if he had the opportunity.

He touched the blade in his bosom and shouted at the top of his voice. "Shopkeeper, a pot of hot tea, a bowl of crabs, and a bowl of yellow rice."

As he spoke, his cunning eyes looked at Liu Yichen. Liu Yichen looked at that obscene look and felt funny in his heart.

He was under the table and touched Song Zhiyao's calf slightly. The two understood and decided to take this opportunity to get rid of this fine work.

Liu Yichen ordered two bowls of rice, and the two of them grabbed chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp. The dwarf kept glancing at them, and his palms were sweating.

Looking at his weak heart, Liu Yichen coughed loudly and said with a smile. "Being a bad guy also looks like a bad guy, so what's the case?"

Suddenly hearing this, the dwarf was so frightened that his legs weakened, and the sharp blade in his arms fell to the ground with a loud sound. The guests on the side exclaimed.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Liu Yichen grabbed Song Zhiyao and ran out quickly. The two of them ran a mile to the ferry.

Liu Yichen took out the copper coin and got on the boat. Looking at the shadow of the county seat, it was just across the river. "In the past five days, Mrs. Cao will definitely help me."

Song Zhiyao was tired, so she took out the bronze mirror in her arms, shone her cheeks, raised the wooden comb, and gently combed her temples. "Xianggong, don't worry."

The boat came ashore, and Liu Yichen instantly woke up from his contemplation. "First of all, coordinate those catches, and don't leak the slightest rumor."

At the same time, Cao Shilang returned home, pulled the door, and spat in his mouth. "Damn it, it's a pleasure."

He waved his hand with a hideous expression. "You little ladies, what are you doing in a daze? Burn the dirty stuff on the bed. ”

The maids didn't dare to slack off, ran to the room where Liu Yichen and they lived, struggled to grab the sheets, and threw everything they used into the stove.

Cao Shilang turned around and thought for a long time. "The imperial court hasn't sent anyone for several years, so if the wind is tight, it's better to come out later."

Just thinking of the white silver, holding it in his hand heavily, his mind is always tempted by it. "It won't be that unlucky."

Thinking of this, he called a servant. "Cao Xiao, you just stay here, put on my clothes, close the door, don't let people know."

The countenance of the servant was as white as he was. "The little one obeys." He changed into Cao Shilang's clothes and presided over the affairs of Cao's mansion.

At the same time, Houqu Xiongli had reached the ridge. Looking at the house, it was only a few dozen feet away, but there was no way to reach it.

Xiong Li asked eagerly. "Big brother, is there really a ledger hidden there? I think it's probably a trap for us to go in. ”

Hou Qu naturally wondered in his heart, the people there came in and out from time to time. They bent their waists and went there, and soon they ran out again.

After half an hour, the night slowly fell, and the sky was dark. "I have to take a gamble, come with me, and take that winding path."

The two of them turned to their sides, trying to keep their balance, and below them was a huge rift. After walking for some time, they came across a tree.

The tree, with its yellow trunk, had no branches. Only mottled bark, interspersed in long cracks, with the sound of the wind.

Behind the trees, there is a wide road. There was a grass hut underneath, and there was no one in it, but there was a pair of eyes that emitted a greenish-blue fluorescence.

Hou Qu could tell that it was a dog with a chain around its neck. gnawing on the bones, he let out a low roar from time to time, shaking his body.

"Only by solving this dog can you sneak into the hut." By the faint moonlight, he held a spike in his hand and threw it vigorously at the dog's head.

The spike, with a gust of wind, snorted, and pierced into the dog's brain. It fluttered twice, and then stopped. The two of them ran quickly.

When they finally got to the house, they found that the house was empty. There were only a few bulky boxes, nailed to the wall.

Hou Qu looked into the room to make sure there was no mechanism. He took out a bent wire in his hand, turned it vigorously at the keyhole, and opened it after a long time.

Inside, there are many yellowed ledgers. He was just about to open it, when the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and it sounded closer and closer.

Hou Qu was in a hurry, covered the box, took Xiong Li's hand, and the two of them went around the gate, avoiding those figures, and hid in the salt pile.

They showed only two eyes, looking around vigilantly. Luckily, the slaves and guards didn't come to the salt heap for the time being.

By the moonlight, the two looked at Cao Shilang's figure. Cao Shilang ordered with a serious face. "Guests are coming soon, you slackers."

The overseers knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately. "Master, these days the animals killed, always one whip, only two strokes."

Listening to Cao Shilang scolding those people, Hou Qu thought. "It seems that they are in a hurry to move the salt mountain, and they must have gone to the path of the imperial brother."

In this way, when you get to the ferry and Yanshan four days later, as long as you hold Cao Shilang, you will definitely be able to get all the stolen goods. The two endured the coarse grains of salt and managed to get out.

Cao Shilang looked at the pile of salt grains and pondered for a long time. "This time, you don't need to be pure, mix some white lime in it, and no one will be able to eat it."

As he spoke, the minions shouted slave labor, carrying lime on their backs, and sprinkled it on it. Then they, waving their sticks, struggled to stir evenly.

Hou Qu and Xiong Li can't make their eyes hurt. They took advantage of a gap and ran out. Dressed as a slave worker.

At this time, Cao Shilang returned to the house, making calculations, and his heart blossomed. "With such a good deal, you can earn an extra seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver."

For him, if no one is punished, this official's salt mountain is his own inheritance. If there is a large sum of money, the business will be better done.

Thinking of this, he stepped aside again. "As long as these fences are firmly rooted, those cheap bones can only die, and they can't fly out."

At the same time, Hou Qu Xiongli and the two of them touched out lightly. They walked for a long time and found that they had entered a mine.
