Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and involving temples Chapter 79 Xu Banxian

Ever since he found the fake vendor selling rock sugar gourds outside the Lin Mansion, Ye Chen has been running to the Lin Mansion every day, which makes Chen Bing very happy, and he can see the green leaves again! But this kid didn't have a door on his lips, and behind his back he and the brothers of the Anjiang Society hyped that they went to the Lin Mansion during the day, which made everyone known.

As long as Ye Chen returned to the small courtyard in the western suburbs from the Lin Mansion, he could always feel everyone's strange eyes, and every time he met Zou Hu, he could always see a lewd smile on his face. For this reason, Ye Chen also specifically asked Zou Hu and others, and Zou Hu only said one sentence every time, boss, I support you!

Ye Chen, who couldn't get an answer, could only go to the four of them, because in Ye Chen's impression, these four stuffy gourds would not lie to him, but who knew that people's answers were more direct, just a word, I don't know!

It wasn't until later that Ye Chen went out and met Little Potato, who smiled and said to Ye Chen: "Boss, are you going to find my Sister Yanyan again?" ”

At that time, Ye Chen stupidly asked him how he knew, and the answer he got was, "Everyone has spread the word, saying that you and Bingye are mysteriously going to find Sister Yanyan these days." It wasn't until here that Ye Chen knew what those strange eyes represented, which could be regarded as an alternative blessing.

Lin Mansion, Ye Chen, as usual, would go to the man who took out rock sugar gourds to stand for a while before entering Lin Mansion, and then buy two rock sugar gourds.

That man's name is Da Zhuang, and the name is completely based on his body type.

Ye Chen: "Did Zhou Dahu suspect you?" ”

Da Zhuang: "No, it's just that every day you ask me if there is anything unusual in the Lin Mansion." ”

Ye Chen: "Did Zhou Dahu tell you to stare at Lin Yanyan what he wanted to do?" ”

Da Zhuang: "No, but I heard another brother mention that he may be kidnapping someone in the near future, and no one has revealed who it is." ”

Ye Chen: "Got it, you continue to report every day according to my instructions, and if there is any special situation, notify me immediately, otherwise you know the consequences." ”

Da Zhuang: "Got it, got it." ”

Ye Chen turned around and said before leaving: "I have ordered someone to send silver taels to your father and mother in Chu County, I hope you will not live up to my sincerity to you, otherwise I will let people go and ask for it again." ”

The rod of the rock sugar gourd in Da Zhuang's hand was almost not steady, he knew that the master in front of him was warning him, and he could find out his details in just a few days, Da Zhuang felt that he could not be an enemy of this kind of person in his life, it was terrible!

The reason why Ye Chen said this is also to give Da Zhuang a double insurance, in case this kid tells Zhou Dahu the actual situation, then he will probably be played as a monkey, and more importantly, the kidnapping mentioned by Da Zhuang just now, Ye Chen feels that the kidnapped person may be Lin Yanyan to a large extent. He had seen Gu Yucai's salivating face in Fenghualou that night, if Lin Yanyan was allowed to fall into his hands, even if he didn't do anything, outsiders would not believe it, and Lin Yanyan's innocence would not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

Ye Chen walked back to the Lin Mansion, and when he saw the green leaves, he handed her the two rock sugar gourds in his hand, and said, "Take it to eat, it's not enough, I'll buy it again." ”

Green Ye's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Ye Gongzi, I've eaten too much these days, and I'm tired of it." ”

Ye Chen was amused by this little girl's uprightness, if it weren't for the cover, he wouldn't have spent those copper plates to buy this rock sugar gourd.

At this time, Chen Bing also ran in from outside the door, and Ye Chen asked, "Bingzi, didn't you just go out of the Lin Mansion before me, why did you go out again?" ”

Chen Bing lifted a rock sugar gourd on his hand and said with a smile: "I bought a rock sugar gourd for Luye, I bought it at the one outside the alley in front, a century-old shop, and I heard from the neighbors that it was delicious." After speaking, he handed the rock sugar gourd to Green Leaf.

Luye looked at the three rock sugar gourds in his hand and muttered: "I can't afford to buy it if I want to eat it on weekdays, but it's good these days, but I can't finish it if I don't want to eat it!" ”

Chen Bing: "Luye, what did you just say?" ”

Lu Ye hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, thank you Chen Bing." Chen Bing scratched his head with a smile and didn't speak, to be exact, Bingye was embarrassed!

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Ye Chen had goosebumps all over his body, and quickly turned his head and left. Just as Lin Yanyan walked over and said with a smile: "Ye Chen, you are here, will you go out with me today?" ”

Ye Chen smiled: "Okay, but you have to dress up again, after all, you are the daughter of the general of the Annan Dao soldiers, so you can't be too ostentatious." ”

Half an hour later, Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan quietly left the Lin Mansion through the back door, Ye Chen looked at Lin Yanyan beside him and couldn't help but smile: "Let you dress up, you don't need to dress up as a man." ”

Lin Yanyan smiled happily: "This is not what you taught, everything is based on the premise of safety." ”

Ye Chen smiled and didn't speak, and the two of them walked aimlessly on the street. Just as Ye Chen was about to speak, an old man's voice came into his ears: "This young lady is afraid of a bloody disaster recently!" ”

Ye Chen stopped when he heard this, if he didn't care about a charlatan, but today was different. First, there was the kidnapping that Da Zhuang said, and then there was the fortune teller's words, and Ye Chen who said it felt a little that he was a kidnapper.

After the half-immortal saw Ye Chen stop, he immediately spoke: "Son, Miss come to a hexagram?" ”

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Where did you come from?" Lin Yanyan lowered his head and did not speak.

The half-immortal looked at Lin Yanyan, who was dressed as a man behind Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Isn't that a rich lady dressed as a man!" ”

Ye Chen felt that this half-immortal had some ability to observe words and looks, but when it came to such a thing as fortune-telling, he never believed it.

Ye Chen continued the words of the half-immortal and said: "You just said that this young lady has a blood light disaster, how did you see it, and how did you crack it?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." The half-immortal god babbled.

Ye Chen knew what he wanted, so he immediately took out five taels of silver from his arms and threw it to him, and the half-immortal said with a smile when he saw this: "The young lady behind you will not be able to close the door for half a month, and just wait for the fierce to leave on his own." ”

Ye Chen pulled Lin Yanyan and walked away without looking back, in fact, he didn't believe in this so-called half-immortal, but he cared about it.

Early the next morning, Zou Hu led people out of the courtyard and went straight to the direction of Huaisu County.

Gu Baohua, the county magistrate of Huaisu County, was originally a foreign businessman, and he came to Annan Province to do silk business in the early years, and the business was not bad. Seven years ago, the original old county commander of Huaisu County died of illness for a long time, and Gu Baohua, who was originally a businessman, took the position of the county order, which made Wang Guihai, the head catcher of the county government at that time, very depressed.

For Wang Guihai, it is not very important whether he can take office as the county order of Jiupin, the key is that the above actually asked a businessman from other places to make a county order, which is difficult not to make people wonder if there is anything greasy in it.

Because the status of merchants and peasants was not very high at that time, unlike now, when China pays attention to economic development and the people's harvest, the status of merchants and peasants has risen. The so-called women must first control the man's mouth if they want to capture the man's heart, and Huaguo is not like this now, paying great attention to the annual harvest of the people. His Majesty now feels that the stability of the people is the cornerstone of the country's stability, and only by letting the people not worry about food and clothing can China become stronger and stronger.

Wang Guihai has four or five henchmen under him, and these catchers are all eating the court's money. Since Gu Baohua became the county magistrate, they deliberately alienated Gu Baohua's father and son. But on the surface, they are still polite, and there will be no less things to do, but Gu Baohua and his son have never been involved in the illegal things Wang Guihai and the others have never been involved, and of course they have not been caught with any evidence.

Gu Baohua and Gu Yucai, father and son, also knew what kind of character Wang Zhutou was, and they didn't provoke him, after all, Wang Guihai was born and raised in Huaisu County. Not to mention how big the foundation is, Wang Zhutou's usual style of dealing with people alone has made him have a lot of supporters in Huaisu County. In addition to a few registered catchers, there are also many young people among the people who are his admirers, and they are even more eyeliner. The most important thing is that Wang Zhutou and the county commander Gu Baohua have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and both of them have maintained respect limited to officialdom.

Near the county government of Huaisu County, Zou Hu arranged a team of ten people to disperse, some pretending to buy things, some pretending to sell things, and some passing merchants and ordinary people, their purpose is very clear, there are different people staring at the county government of Huaisu County at different times, because Ye Chen is very cautious, in case it is discovered, the situation will become serious.

First of all, Gu Yucai and his county commander father will be suspicious and strengthen the surrounding vigilance.

Secondly, a small gang of rivers and lakes dared to keep an eye on the imperial court Jiupin County Order, which can be explained by the rebellion or the enemy's secret espionage, no matter what you say, no one will believe it, and it is even more impossible to say that you belong to the identity directly under the Supervision Department.

Zou Hu and Hu Jie's ten-person team were scattered around, one or two people in groups, and they had to pass by the gate of the county government from time to time. Because Gu Baohua and Gu Yucai's father and son did not buy a house outside the county government, but only lived in the inner courtyard of the county government, this brought great difficulty to Zou Hu and others.

At noon, Wang Zhutou came out of the county office, followed by a few catchers, and heard that a new mutton restaurant had opened near Nancheng Street, so he took a few henchmen to try it. As soon as he walked down the stairs at the entrance of the county government, Wang Guihai glanced at the middle-aged man passing by, and always felt a little familiar, but after seeing the man's face clearly, he concluded that he didn't know him, so he had to shake his head and leave.

In a small courtyard near the county office, Zou Hu looked at the man who had just run in and asked, "How is it, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Man: "No, it's just that a catcher looked at me twice, I didn't dare to stay, and came back directly." ”

Zou Hu asked, "What does that person look like?" ”

The man recalled: "I didn't see what it looked like, but I heard the person next to him call him Wang Tou'er, and it seemed that he was going to a mutton restaurant on Chengnan Street." ”

Zou Hu nodded, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke: "I know who it is, he is also a figure in Huaisu County." ”
