Chapter 31: The Terrible Chapter Shumo
Zhang Shumo glanced at Lou Yin, and was unhappy in his heart: Lou Yin and Lou Zaiying are not compatible, and now they are coming out to ridicule. So Zhang Shumo ignored Lou Yin and said to Hu Kun: "Hu, Brother Hu, let's go back, go back." ”
The carriage galloped to Lou's house, Zhang Shumo jumped out of the car, and told Hu Kun and Hu Xing not to collect the car first, maybe it would be useful later, and then he quickly returned to Lou's house.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Shumo found that Mrs. Qing, Mrs. Yi and some elders of the Lou family were in the courtyard, and everyone surrounded them when they saw Zhang Shumo coming back.
"Shumo, have you found any news?" Mrs. Qing asked anxiously.
Zhang Shumo saw everyone's anxious expressions, and felt very disappointed, it seemed that Lou Zaiying had not come back yet. So he shook his head helplessly, but then nodded again.
"Grandpa went, went to Baishan to suppress bandits, and now he is on his way back."
When everyone heard this, their hanging hearts finally let go. Mrs. Yi asked first, "Have you ever seen Yin'er?" ”
Zhang Shumo snorted, but still nodded. Seeing this, Mrs. Yi completely relaxed: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Mrs. Qing also hurriedly asked, "What about Ying'er?" Why didn't Jaeyoung come back with you? ”
Zhang Shumo took a breath, but shook his head helplessly: "Zaiying is not, not with grandpa." ”
"What!" When Mrs. Qing heard this, she fell backwards, and Lou Guang hurriedly helped her.
Zhang Shumo hurriedly said: "Grandpa has already gone to find the county lieutenant and the adult, let me go home first, wait for the news, and get the order of the county and the county lieutenant, grandpa will lead the troops to find Zaiying." ”
After hearing this, everyone's hearts hung again. Several mothers-in-law began to comfort Mrs. Qing, while others walked around anxiously waiting for news from Master Lou.
I don't know how long later, everyone heard a noise outside the door, and hurriedly came out to check, only to find that it was Master Lou and Lou Yin who came back.
As soon as he saw Master Lou, Zhang Shumo hurriedly greeted him: "Grandpa, why did he come back, don't we go to find and find Zaiying?" ”
Master Lou paused, and then slammed his fist on the wall: "Yang Hua's kid said that it was getting late, and the soldiers were tired for a day, so they didn't let the troops go!" ”
Zhang Shumo's face became hideous when he heard this, his eyes were full of bloodshot and he yelled at Master Lou: "Lou Zaiying went to Baishan to save you, she is single-handed, and she must have had an accident before she returns, are you going to wait at home like this?" ”
Everyone was stunned by Zhang Shumo's appearance, and Master Lou, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was also shocked and didn't speak for a long time.
Lou Guang's eyes widened and looked at Zhang Shumo: "Brother-in-law, you, you're not stammering?" ”
Zhang Shumo turned his head violently, glared at Lou Guang, then glanced around, and said firmly: "If you don't go, I'll go!" After speaking, Zhang Shumo walked towards the restaurant across the street.
Only then did Master Lou come to his senses and shouted at Zhang Shumo: "Boy! You think I'm not worried about Jaeyoung? Now that the gates are closed, you and I can't get out! Since someone deliberately went to the barracks to deliver a letter, it means that someone wants to frame Jae-young, and the top priority is to find out who framed Jae-young! ”
Zhang Shumo paused, and reason regained the upper hand. Master Lou is right, now he can't go out of the city, and he can't go to find Zaiying, the only thing he can do is to think about who wants to kill Zaiying.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked Mrs. Qing: "Has Zaiying recently mentioned to you something that is too resentful of others?" ”
Mrs. Qing had long been dispossessed, so she had to shake her head blindly: "I can't remember what Zaiying said recently, but how can Zaiying, a weak woman, have a grudge against others?" ”
Master Lou sighed: "This street is not a place to talk, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Everyone came to Master Lou's hall, and Master Lou dismissed the irrelevant people, leaving only his 3 brothers and the people in the big and second rooms.
"Everyone thinks about it, who will Zaiying make an enmity with, or expand the scope, has our Lou family made an enmity with anyone?" Master Lou said.
Everyone lowered their heads and thought about it, and Zhang Shumo suddenly said: "Speaking of grudges, the first thing I think of is the people in the barracks. I still remember that when Zai Ying first joined the army, he came back every day with injuries on his body, and I think there must be someone in the army who is not convinced by Zai Ying, so he will design to frame him. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, there are indeed many people in the army who are not convinced." Lou Yin suddenly picked up.
Zhang Shumo glanced at him, Lou Yin quickly turned his head to look at Master Lou, Zhang Shumo faintly felt strange in his heart, why did Lou Yin suddenly care so much about Zaiying's affairs?
Master Lou denied Zhang Shumo's idea: "I understand the people in the barracks, even if they are not convinced, Zaiying will not use this method to harm people, I have a guess, will this matter be related to the Fusheng Gang?" ”
After being reminded by Master Lou, Zhang Shumo immediately remembered that the Fusheng Gang deceived Lou Guang some time ago, so he immediately asked, "Grandpa, what did the Fusheng Gang want you to do that time?" ”
"That Liu Bao asked me to send troops to attack the mountain bandits in Baishan, and then returned defeated."
Without waiting for everyone to react, Master Lou said to everyone again: "The reason why I suspect the Fusheng Gang is because I received an order from the county lieutenant today to attack the mountain bandits in Baishan, but when I got there, I found that the village on Baishan was empty, so I asked people to send a letter to the county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant said that I should find it and it was dark, and I was not allowed to come back until it was dark." ”
"How could the county lieutenant give such a strange order?" Everyone in the Lou family wondered.
Zhang Shumo's brain was running rapidly, and a terrible thought was deduced in his heart: "The Fusheng Gang bought the county lieutenant? ”
Everyone looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise, but Zhang Shumo no longer explained, and began to connect the clues he knew in his mind.
At this time, Lou Yin suddenly said: "It can't be the Fusheng Gang, what is their purpose in dealing with Sister Zaiying?" ”
Hearing Lou Yin's words, Zhang Shumo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately asked Master Lou: "Grandpa, didn't you say last time that you captured some rogues?" These rogues are in league with the mountain bandits in Baishan, right? ”
Master Lou nodded: "That's right, the Fusheng Gang should have colluded with the mountain bandits, but what is the purpose of the Fusheng Gang to lead the government to send troops to attack the Baishan mountain bandits?" ”
"No, they don't want to lead troops to attack Baishan, but to give people the illusion that the soldiers of the government can't kill the mountain bandits in Baishan!" Zhang Shumo paused and continued: "If I guess correctly, in the future, the Fusheng Gang will definitely interfere in the trade routes of Qinghua City, and the merchants will not be attacked by the mountain bandits only if they receive the protection of the Fusheng Gang. ”
"Then what are they framing Jae-young for?" Mrs. Qing asked puzzled.
Zhang Shumo looked at Master Lou: "The purpose of arresting Zaiying is to force grandpa to comply!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Everyone looked at Zhang Shumo.
"The first time the Fusheng Gang framed Lou Guang was to force Grandpa to get on their thief ship, but it didn't succeed! That's why they arrested Jaeyoung this time and forced Grandpa to get on their thief ship! ”
