Li You said: "I rushed to Luoyang to meet Huang Laoba. ”

This time when he returned to Luoyang, Li You only took Wu Jue and Magpie with his female dependents, and the rest were escorted to Zhengzhou by Qualcomm. Wu Jue was in charge of the commerce of the Qi Palace, and had business dealings with Luoyang, and could help through business relations when necessary. The magpie is responsible for the communication of the flying pigeon and can also play a big role.

Li You wrote a few secret letters, handed them to the magpie, and asked her to send them to Chang'an and hand them over to Yin Guanghao.

Subsequently, they took Miao Cuilin and set off to Luoyang overnight. Taking advantage of the fact that the news of Miao Cuilin's father and son being rescued could not reach Luoyang for a while, Li You had to make a time difference.

Li You and Bai Hu took Miao Cuilin in a carriage, and Xue Rengui took a few retinues to escort them on horseback. Wang San secretly led a detachment of people to divide into two teams, he himself led people to open the way in front, and the other team followed behind to protect.

Luoyang, Luohe Sanlizhuang Wharf, notch rudder.

"Aunt Xiu, why are you back? Didn't I let you show up? Huang Laoba couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw his daughter Xiugu suddenly appear.

Xiu Gu said: "Daddy, I'm not a mouse, why do I have to hide in that broken cave all day long?" ”

It turned out that Xiugu was a lively person, and she was bored after staying in that cave for two days. So he followed Lu Xiaoqi back to Luoyang.

Huang Laoba said: "You have caused such a big mess, and the government is arresting people everywhere." ”

Xiugu said: "Does anyone know that I did it? Besides, you haven't cared about me since I was a child, I've only been in Luoyang for a few days, and how many people know me? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Huang Laoba suddenly became a little wilted, he has been working hard in Luoyang, Xiugu grew up with his grandmother in the countryside, and his father owes this child. He lowered his tone and said, "I'm not here for your own good, those fast catchers in the government are very poisonous, and their noses are also smart." You'd better be careful. ”

"Got it, Daddy." Xiu Gu said coquettishly.

Huang Laoba said helplessly: "Then you stay here and try not to go out." Let's wait until the limelight is over. ”

Xiu Gu said: "Daddy, do you know how dark those dog officials on the river are? You see, this was found from the dog officer. As she spoke, she pulled out two slips. One slip read: "On the second day of the fourth month of April, 1,878 yuan of ship tax was collected. One slip read: "On the second day of the fourth month of April, one hundred and eighty-eight yuan of ship tax will be collected." ”

This toll is paid by vessels passing through other than the notch. The payment below the two receipts is the tax supervisor Chen Jun of the Luokou toll station, but the difference between the above amounts is almost ten times. Obviously, the document with a large number was the actual income, and the document with a small number was forged and used to enter the government's accounts.

The tax of the notch has a basis for collecting taxes. This temporary passing ship every day, there is no surveillance video in ancient times, there is no electronic counter, and it is not the toll booth that says how much is it?!

Huang Laoba read these two receipts and scolded: "I know that it is very dark on the river, but I didn't expect them to be so greedy." Immediately, he said happily: "Aunt Xiu, you have really done a big thing, with these two documents, if the dog officials want to blackmail us extraordinarily, then you have to tell them." ”

Xiu Gu smiled proudly: "That's it, Daddy, how is it, your daughter is amazing, right?" In the past, dog officials often bullied us, and in the future, they will dare to be arrogant again. ”

Huang Laoba said: "That's okay, let's release that Chen Jun in a few days." ”

Xiugu said, "Got it, Daddy." Too cheap for him. ”

After speaking, Xiu Gu walked towards the outside of the house, and said as she walked, "Daddy, I'll go out to eat something." ”

Huang Laoba wanted to stop her, but he felt that what Xiu Gu said was also reasonable, no one knew that she did it, and there were few people who knew her. So there was no sound.

Xiu Gu came out of the house and said to Lu Xiaoqi: "Let's go, you are familiar with Luoyang City, accompany me to eat something delicious." ”

Lu Xiaoqi said happily: "Okay, Aunt Xiu, if you want to talk about the delicious food in Luoyang, you have to talk about the cross street......"

On this day, Li You and others came to Luoyang.

As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Li You asked Xue Rengui to accompany Miao Cuilin to see Huang Laoba.

Slot total rudder.

"Hey, Brother Miao, what wind blew you here?" Seeing Miao Cuilin, Huang Laoba said happily.

Immediately, he saw the scars on Miao Cuilin's forehead and neck, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, so many injuries on your body?" ”

Miao Cuilin frowned and said, "Hey, don't mention it." I don't know who is so bold and pretends to be the prince of Qi from the capital at the toll booth in Luokou. The government suspected that this matter had something to do with our notch, so they arrested me and Qingyun. After speaking, he looked at the window, but the rest of his eyes swept at Huang Laoba.

Huang Laoba was shocked in his heart, and raised his eyebrows. Xin said: "The government has suspected the head of the notch so quickly. After all, he was an experienced veteran, and he asked quietly: "This matter has nothing to do with our Caokou, how can they arrest people indiscriminately?" ”

Miao Cuilin is also an old man, and Huang Laoba's slightly shocked look, although it was fleeting, was still captured by him.

Miao Cuilin didn't want to play dumb riddles with Huang Laoba, so he told him his experience as it was. It's just that he didn't mention Li You, the king of Qi, and only said that his nephew Miao Xiting saved him. Seeing that Huang Laoba's face was becoming more and more solemn, Miao Cuilin said directly: "Laoba, did this matter be done by Aunt Xiu?" ”

Miao Cuilin and Huang Laoba have known each other for more than 20 years, and when Xiugu's mother did not die, the two families used to live together, so he still knows Xiugu.

Huang Laoba said: "No. How could Xiu Gu do such a thing? ”

Miao Cuilin said: "The government is not stupid, they thought of me first, just because I am a person on the notch. If they can doubt me, won't they doubt you? The tax supervisor is missing, and the government must find his whereabouts.

The matter of pretending to be the prince of Qi has already alarmed the official above, and a big official came from Chang'an, and he is very reliable. If there's something, it's best to tell the truth. ”

Huang Laoba couldn't make up his mind for a while, he said: "This matter is indeed not done by Xiugu. ”

Miao Cuilin said: "Lao Ba, we have been friends for decades, if you can trust me, go to the Nancheng Inn to find me when you think about it." ”

With that, he took his leave and left.

Miao Cuilin was right.

Luoyang Sima Ma Wengui is an old man in Luoyang, he grew up here since he was a child, and he has a basic understanding of the forces of all parties in Luoyang City. Among his key suspects, the first choice is also the notch.
