Volume 2 The First Entry into the Beijing Division Chapter 165 The Man Who Bears Me
A convoy of noble incense!
At this moment, even Bao Ji, Xiang Xu, Wang Hou, Lu Xing'an and the Tang brothers who were standing honestly on the side were anxious.
They all came forward to carefully look at the Hou family's banner in the hands of the officials.
Hou Shigui nodded and said:
"Exactly."
It was only then that Dong Hanshan sighed faintly:
"Brother Hou, your convoy was hijacked, and none of the eight people escorted survived, and the goods on the car were gone."
"Can you find out who did it?"
Hou Shigui's tone was still calm, but his face was already gloomy.
Dong Hanshan nodded and said:
"Your guards were also brave, leaving behind the bodies of several bandits, and it was confirmed that they were committed by a group of bandits entrenched near Gyeonggi.
This gang of bandits has been entrenched in the vicinity of Gyeonggi all year round, and they are engaged in the business of robbing houses and houses, but because there are only more than 30 people, and they are all committed in remote and uninhabited places, they have not been eliminated.
I didn't think that today, they were so bold that they dared to rob the official, Brother Hou, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter! ”
"Then there will be work, if Brother Dong has time, please take me to claim the corpse, after all, they are all my family guards."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Hou, please."
Hou Shigui said:
"Let me change my clothes."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, seeing Guo Lianqing following up, Hou Shigui shook his head and said:
"You go and get busy first, Bao Ji, Lao Xiang, you two come with me."
Guo Lianqing didn't know why:
"He's two clumsy, how can he help you change your clothes? Or shall I come? ”
Hou Shigui still shook his head and said:
"No, let Bao Ji and Xiang Xu come along, you are tired all morning, and rest first."
After that, regardless of the reaction of the people around him, he took Bao and Xiang up the stairs and entered the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, Hou Shigui's face became gloomy:
"The convoy escorting Guirenxiang, when it enters Beijing, and which official road it takes, are all top secrets.
Those robbers who have never robbed the official road can be so coincidental and rob my priceless noble incense on the official road. ”
Hearing Hou Shigui say this, Xiang Xu also added with a contemplative face:
"Not only that, when we first entered Beijing, the rumors of Gongzi's presence in Xiling immediately spread, from Chujing to Xiling a round trip, even if it is fast, it will take ten days.
It is impossible for them to know about Childe's rumors before the prophet knows, unless someone close to Childe reveals it.
There is also the leakage of the lyrics and songs of Tianyalou, and Bao Sen can't find the problem of the singers after checking it for a long time, or that is, the problem is not with those singers at all! ”
"Old Xiang, what do you mean, some of us dare to betray Gongzi?!!!
His grandmother's! Which ungrateful bastard dares to betray his son! ”
Although Bao Ji was angry, he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that the people downstairs would be alerted.
After all, it's been more than a year, and Bao Ji is no longer the rough guy who can only do things recklessly.
Xiang Xu didn't give Bao Ji any reply, just looked at Hou Shigui:
"Childe, if someone really has a backbone, it needs to be removed as soon as possible, and the Divine Arm Bow will soon enter Beijing!"
According to the law of Great Chu, except for the army of the national dynasty, no one is allowed to make or use bows and crossbows privately, otherwise the crime should be rebellion.
Therefore, the Tang brothers still use a longbow that cannot break the armor.
Therefore, Hou Shigui only informed Xiang Xu, Bao Ji, and Lu Xingan about the divine arm bow.
But after the family quietly transported the made Divine Arm Bow into the Jingshi, he couldn't hide the traitor.
If the traitor is allowed to leak this...... With the power of the god's arm bow, I'm afraid......
Hou Shigui nodded and said:
"That's exactly how it should be."
After that, he looked at Bao Ji and said nothing.
Even Xiang Xu stared at Bao Ji thoughtfully.
Bao Ji saw the two of them looking at him, and said angrily:
"Old Xiang, what are you doing looking at me like this?! Could it be that you suspect that I will betray my son?!! My life is all Childe's, as long as Childe says a word, I can pull out my sword and kill myself now! ”
"Bao Ji, Lao Xiang is not suspicious of you, but of your cousin."
After Hou Shigui finished speaking, seeing that Bao Ji was still confused, he explained:
"Although I have occasionally recited the words and songs in front of you a few times, I have never recited some of the poems that have been preached in front of you.
I never taught these poems to anyone but one.
That man is your cousin Paulson. ”
"Chop! Lao Tzu is ashamed to be a brother to him! Childe, and later here, I'm going to take his head and apologize to Childe! ”
After Hou Shigui's explanation, Bao Ji also felt that his cousin was the most suspicious.
I thought that it was the person I introduced to Childe who betrayed Childe, or my cousin.
Bao Ji felt sorry for his son's kindness.
As soon as the sense of shame came to his head, he drew his sword out of its sheath and tried to sell Pawson's head.
Fortunately, he was stopped by Xiang Xu and Hou Shigui in time.
Hou Shigui even scolded:
"How many times have I told you? Don't be reckless, don't be reckless! Teach you to read and write, so that all the military books you read are in vain, right?! ”
Bao Ji held back his face and stood there with a look of shame:
"I ...... I ......"
I didn't come for a long time.
"Do you know why I'm called Lao Xiang for everything? You have such a temperament, how dare I leave important things to you! ”
"I was wrong!"
As soon as Bao Ji spoke, Hou Shigui breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say to the two:
"Now I don't believe anyone except you, and the same is true for Lianqing.
And Powson is just suspicious, except for Pawson, the rest of the people are also suspicious, what I told you about today's things, you must not say anything to others. ”
A chill flashed in Hou Shigui's eyes, and he said:
"Bao Ji, go and talk to Bao Sen, and ask him to find out to me who hijacked my convoy no matter what method he used.
Lao Xiang, you go to send a letter to Xiling, let the family disperse some good hands, one person and three horses, and quickly go to Beijing.
If you kill the people of my Hou Mansion and rob the goods of my Hou Mansion, how can they live!
As for the traitor, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way of dealing with it. ”
"Whoa!"
After leaving the yamen, Hou Shigui said to Lu Xing'an, who was driving the car:
"Don't go back to the inn, go to the Dongyang County Lord's Mansion."
The Lord's Mansion of Dongyang County?
What are you going to do there?
However, Lu Xingan didn't plan to ask more, and took Hou Shigui to the Dongyang County Lord's Mansion in a carriage.
After handing over the name post, it didn't take long for the side door to be opened, and a person who looked like a housekeeper walked out:
"Hou Gongzi, the county lord of my family is unwell today, and it is not easy to see Gongzi.
But the county lord also asked the little one to bring a message to the son, the son of the world knows that he is wrong, and he will not trouble the son in the future. ”
After Han Shan said this, he was about to leave, but Hou Shigui stopped him:
"Stay, I'm not here today, not for this matter, you go and tell the lord of your family, I'm here today to give the recipe for the noble incense, if she doesn't see it, I'll give it to someone else."
The recipe for the noble incense?
Now the noble incense is not allowed to buy a bottle of silver for a thousand taels of silver, this is a cash cow, is he willing to give this thing away?
Even when he encountered the incident, Han Shan couldn't help but be shocked by Hou Shigui.
He also knew his identity, he was just a servant, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he said that the son would wait a while, and then hurriedly walked to the county lord's mansion again.
