The black horse was left in the general's mansion in this way. Ran Qiunian thought of the black horse's unruly temper, and he didn't know whether to congratulate Xiao Yin on his joyful horse, or to tear tears of sympathy for the stables in the house.

The thrilling scene of the maple forest has become a thing of the past, there is neither evidence nor enough strength, Ran Qiunian just wants to make An Qiluo pay the price, and he can't do it in a short time.

can only put this matter aside for the time being, and be more wary of An Qiluo, a woman who can do everything.

What is more important at the moment is the letter that Qingxi sent from Splendid City in her hand.

Thinking of what had happened these days, Ran Qiunian didn't dare to take risks on her own, so she immediately gave the letter to Xiao Yin and confided her worries to him.

"The last time I saw those caravan guys who you were uncharacteristically going to follow Qiubai to meet him, I felt that it was wrong."

After Xiao Yin read the letter, he was not surprised at all, Ran Qiunian saw this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "What does the eldest brother mean by this?" Did you already know that Zhang Shaoxian had a problem? ”

Xiao Yin returned the letter to Ran Qiunian, and did not deny her speculation: "Zhang Shaoxian is ambitious, he has two hearts, this time he was entrusted by Qiubai to press the goods to Beijing, I found that he and that land. Under. Money. Zhuang seems to have a connection, so he will secretly go to investigate that day. ”

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Shaoxian's trace was found, he was first disrupted by the news of her accident. Ran Qiunian finally understood why Xiao Yin would appear near the maple forest that day.

"Suffered, wouldn't that Zhang Shaoxian escape like this?"

Ran Qiunian was a little indignant, but Xiao Yin didn't feel regretful.

"It's not too late to investigate Zhang Shaoxian's matter in the future, people are always there, and they won't run away. It's you, you must bring more people when you travel in the capital in the future, and those banquet posts can be pushed if you can. ”

Xiao Yin's instructions made Ran Qiunian feel a little strange, and she said bluntly:

"It's only a month before the big brother will try, Nian'er won't go out during this time, after the test list, Nian'er and the big brother will go home together, why should you pay attention to these open guns and hidden arrows in the capital?"

After listening to Ran Qiunian's words, Xiao Yin looked at her with a little hesitation, which made Ran Qiunian feel even more strange, when would the eldest brother hesitate?

"Big brother is very strange today, you used to have a thing to say, what's wrong today?"

Ran Qiunian smiled and joked, Xiao Yin saw her reaction like this, and realized in her heart that the old lady really didn't say anything to her.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yin simply told Ran Qiunian directly: "Grandmother means that you will stay in the capital for a while longer after the examination." ”

"What? What about the eldest brother, who also stayed in the capital with Nian'er? ”

Ran Qiunian was shocked, why didn't grandmother tell her about such a big thing at all?

"I, at the beginning of spring next year, I will personally come to pick you up."

Xiao Yin's words made Ran Qiunian's heart sink and sink.

Grandmother's intention was to leave her alone in the capital. Ran Qiunian couldn't understand what happened to make her grandmother, who had always loved her, make such a choice.

"Big brother, did something happen at home that my grandmother put me in the capital so that I could avoid it?"

Ran Qiunian grabbed Xiao Yin's sleeve and shook it.

But many things, out of protection for Ran Qiunian, Xiao Yin couldn't tell her directly, so she could only say slowly: "You can live in the capital for a while with peace of mind, don't think too much." ”

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was still sullen, Xiao Yin had no choice but to comfort her: "The winter in Splendid City has always been extremely cold, don't you like spending the winter in Splendid City the least?" Just take refuge from the cold in the capital, and you can return home at the latest in spring. ”

"But ......"

Although the winter there was extremely cold, with her grandmother and brothers by her side, Ran Qiunian did not find it difficult. No matter how warm the winter in Shangjing City is, with the presence of Qi Ruoyun and An Qiluo, those lingering terrible memories are enough to make Ran Qiunian chill to the bone.

But how can this be told to Xiao Yin? Ran Qiunian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, stomped his feet, turned around and ran out of the house unhappily.

Xiao Yin shook her head, Ran Qiunian was away from home for the first time for so long, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept it for a while, she needs time to calm down, and before she figures it out herself, it is useless for anyone to persuade her.

Ran Qiunian ran back to his house in one go, there are still so many hidden dangers in the Ran family that have not been cleaned, whether it is Liu Rumei's family or the villains in Qiubai's brother's caravan with knives in their backs, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

If she didn't know anything, she would hide in the capital, but she just came back with the memories of her previous life, if she didn't care about anything, how could she be willing?

Ran Qiu sat there and thought for a long time, when suddenly his mouth suddenly opened.

She really got into the horns of the bull herself, she is only thirteen years old now, and she has always been connived and spoiled by her grandmother for her lawlessness, who can force her to do anything she is not willing to do at this time in her previous life?

If she really doesn't want to stay alone, there is always a way to make Xiao Yin compromise, whether she knows how to be affectionate or coquettish, sulking here can't solve any problems.

Ran Qiunian knocked on his head, secretly scolded elm head, and his mood improved.

Early the next morning, Ran Qiunian followed Xiao Yin as if nothing had happened, and when he was about to go out.

"How's your injury going? Just stay in the house these days and take care of it, don't go outside to toss. ”

Xiao Yin was pestered by Ran Qiunian and had to follow him to check Zhang Shaoxian and the land. Under. Money. Zhuang's contact, seeing Ran Qiunian dressed in men's clothes, was clearly determined to follow him out, and was a little helpless.

"And what are you wearing?"

"Is the eldest brother going to the suburban Qianzhuang to inquire today, or is he going to the warehouse where Zhang Shao pressed the goods first? Anyway, you and I are all here to check the same thing, why don't you take me with you, big brother. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yin looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, Ran Qiu Nian pursed his mouth, turned around and dropped a sentence: "Otherwise, we will check each other." ”

After saying that, he raised his feet and walked outside. How could Xiao Yin rest assured that Ran Qiunian would run out to investigate, but seeing this, he had to compromise and agree to take Ran Qiunian away with him.

Ran Qiunian secretly had a somewhat triumphant smile on his face, and after turning around, he regained his composure, for fear that Xiao Yin would see his pride.

Xiao Yin didn't break it, but he didn't know it, and took people out of the house together.

Sitting in the carriage to the outskirts of the city, Ran Qiunian looked out curiously through the curtain.

The carriage passed through a field of rice paddies, golden ears of rice swaying through the fields, and farther afield, scattered villages, high and low, scattered at the end of the fields.

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was about to lean half of his body out of the carriage, Xiao Yin pressed the person back from behind and glanced at Ran Qiunian disapprovingly.

Ran Qiunian smiled flatteringly, sat down obediently, and waited for the carriage to stop in the nearest village.

"That land. Under. Money. The accounts that come and go are not put on the surface, and they do not reach a certain amount, so they are not stored. ”

Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian down an inaccessible path, and in a hidden place, he pointed out to her the money house and explained in a low voice.

"Zhang Shaoxian is a caravan steward, even if he goes south and north to save a lot of money with Brother Qiubai, it should not be enough to reach the amount stipulated by this silver village. What's more, since it is the silver that the runners have earned legally, why should they choose to secretly deposit the silver in this land. Under. Money. Village? ”

Ran Qiunian immediately found the most suspicious point from this, Xiao Yin heard this, but glanced at her with appreciation.

"That's right, I'm just here to investigate. If Zhang Shaoxian really wants to be here. Under. Money. When the silver is deposited in the village, it must be transported by carts and horses. He has been coming alone for the past few days, and he must have a follow-up move. ”

Ran Qiunian nodded, followed behind Xiao Yin with a serious face, and his gaze was fixed on the place. Under. Money. Zhuang Shang, after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone coming in or out of the door, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Big brother, will that Zhang Shaoxian come over today? How long are we going to stay here? ”

"It's not Zhang Shaoxian who we're waiting for here." Xiao Yin said slowly.

"Who else could there be?" Ran Qiunian was strange.

"Here, be careful."

Xiao Yin's eyes froze, and he hid Ran Qiunian well, and the two pairs of eyes looked at the cong ground together. Under. Money. A short and fat man who came out of Shonai.

Ran Qiunian didn't dare to breathe and hid behind Xiao Yin, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered nervously beside Xiao Yin, "Who is this fat man?" Where is he going? ”

"Let's keep up first."

After Xiao Yin saw the short and fat man come out, he hurriedly took a few of his subordinates, and drove out two carriages from behind the money village, the fat man got into one of them, and several of his subordinates only sat down on the board outside the carriage.

Seeing their carriage running slowly, Ran Qiunian pulled Xiao Yin's sleeve a little anxiously and urged with his eyes.

Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian back to the village where they had parked the carriage before, put on a hood that had been prepared a long time ago, hid his face, drove the carriage, and followed the two carriages of the short and fat man not far away.

Ran Qiunian lifted the curtain again, leaned out half of his body and asked behind Xiao Yin, "Big brother hasn't told Nian'er who that fat man is!" ”

"Earth. Under. Money. The shopkeeper on Zhuang Ming's face is the one who has a close relationship with Zhang Shaoxian. ”

Xiao Yin raised his hand and pressed Ran Qiunian's head back, let her sit down obediently, and the carriage staggered over the potholed field path, and when it turned onto the official road, it was slightly more stable.

"Most of the time he entered the city today was to confirm the money with Zhang Shaoxian and sign a contract."

Ran Qiunian was driven back to the carriage by Xiao Yin and sat down, leaning against the wall of the carriage, listening to the news that Xiao Yin told her, she was secretly frightened.

I didn't expect this Zhang Shaoxian to have two hearts a long time ago, and he could move the ground. Under. Money. Zhuang's shopkeeper personally went out to the horse, what is the amount of silver he brought this time?

And even if it is Brother Qiubai himself, I am afraid that the income from many years of business will not be enough to enter the land. Under. Money. Banker's amount.

"This Zhang Shaoxian, did he loot Yinzhuang, where did he accumulate such wealth in just a few years?"

Ran Qiu thought about it, but she saw it from the letter sent to her by Qingxi, this time Zhang Shao pressed the goods into Beijing first, but it was enough to transport fifteen truckloads of things.

In addition to the goods on the surface, there are many places where silver can be hidden......
