Chapter 278: A Strange Theft

Weichen led Du Nuhao to bow down, and Father-in-law Ning was still worried and said in a low voice: Your Majesty, Weifu's private visit is very important, is it Qin

The emperor took out a folded piece of rice paper from his sleeve and handed it to Father-in-law Ning: "Look at what this is!" ”

Gonggong Ning carefully took the opening realm, Du Wenhao and Yu Ge'er went up to take a look, only to see that it was a painting, an ancient road, a few crows on the dead trees, countless dead corpses on the road, all of them were shriveled and starved, and there were a few people who helped the old and the young, dragged their families and fled the famine, and they were all dying. The fertile fields on the side of the road cracked, and the crops were in flux. In the corner of the painting is written this line: "The drought is caused by Anshi."

Go to Anshi. It will rain. "The payment was made by the prison security officer Zheng Xia.

It turned out to be a real-name report letter.

Song Shenzong sighed: "This picture of the displaced people was painted by a small official who watched the city gate, he said that this scene was witnessed by him and said that it is early in the morning, all because of the change of the law, as long as the change is canceled, the sky will rain heavily within ten days!" If the minister wrote a letter, Lian didn't care, but a little official who watched the door was shocked when he saw Liancai. ”

Song Shenzong stood up and walked to the pavilion with his hands behind his back and sighed: "A few days ago, thousands of people in Dongming County gathered at the door of Wang Anshi's house, complaining that the law change made them unable to make a living, and they wanted to ask Wang Anshi for an explanation, and they also injured the palace officials, suspecting that there were instructions behind them. A few of the leaders were arrested, and they were carefully interrogated, but they did not ask the master. I thought that these thousands of people were unemployed vagrants who collected money to cause trouble, but under the investigation, they were all ordinary people in Dongming County. ”

Only then did Du Wenhao and others understand why the emperor was hiding in the study and didn't do anything in the past few days, it turned out that he was sad and shocked by this matter. Song Shenzong suddenly wanted to make a private visit, just to verify this matter. Changing the law is Song Shenzong's life's work, if it is not verified, he is unwilling.

Since the emperor has made up his mind, it is not wise to stop it, Du Wenhao thought about it and said: "The emperor's sister doesn't often walk the rivers and lakes in martial arts, and she is very familiar with affairs, so you might as well ask your sister to follow the emperor for a private visit." It's good to have a response. ”

"That's okay, she's an outsider, so she doesn't have to worry about leaking news. Well, you can take her with you. Song Shenzong turned around, his face sank, and he glanced at the three of them, "No one can say about this matter, and the ancestor can't let him know, in short, this time the alliance is really here for a private visit." Whoever dares to leak the wind and wipe his neck by himself! ”

The three of them hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

"Then in what capacity will we go out, Your Majesty?" Father-in-law Ning asked.

The emperor asked him, "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty. Since it is a micro-suit, you may as well dress up as a businessman. For example, the herb merchant happened to be followed by Master Du, and there should be no problem in this regard. ”

After hearing this, Song Shenzong also felt very good, and the matter was decided because of a casual sentence from a palace maid

Night. Du Wenhao returned home.

The moonlight is very good, the moon is very round, the flowers are fragrant, and the wind blows softly on the face, Du Wenhao asked Lin Qingdai to go to the bamboo forest behind the house after dinner.

The two of them found a hidden place and first warmed up, and then sat down and talked.

Since Du Wenhao's moisturization, Lin Qingdai's complexion has gradually improved, her little face is almost powdery, and her big eyes under her eyebrows are even clearer and brighter, so people can't help but kiss them twice

Du Wenhao hugged the beauty's slender waist with one hand, and held the beauty's small hand with the other, the wind rustled the bamboo leaves, and the moon only showed half of its face from the clouds, blinking an ambiguous light, shining on the faces of the two people.

"Sister Qingdai. Why am you prettier now? ”

"Yes." Lin Qingdai turned her head and glanced at Du Wenhao, and Du Wenhao took the opportunity to kiss her on the face.

"I'm serious." Du Wenhao leaned up again with a hippie smile.

Lin Qingdai giggled but didn't dodge, and let Du Wenhao do anything wrong with her.

"Alright. You said that you had something to do with me, so you quickly said that it would be time for Qin'er to look for you later. Lin Qingdai couldn't help Du Wenhao's pair of thief hands, worried that she would do that blushing and heartbeat if she didn't live in this bamboo forest.

Lin Qingdai thought for a while: I don't want to deal with the palace, but since you want to go, I'll go. ”

"I think the same way, but when I think of us having more opportunities together, I naturally want you to go together. In this way, our Du Wenhao couldn't help but kiss Lin Qingdai again.

Lin Qingdai smiled in a low voice and said, "What are we, what can't we do before the filial piety period is over." ”

Of course, Du Wenhao understood this truth, so he nodded again and again: "I understand this, then it is decided." I'll turn around and say to Qin'er, you get ready, and you will get out early tomorrow morning. This matter is to be kept secret. can't leak a single thing, including Qin'er, they can't let them know. ”

"Hmm. I saved it. ”

The next day. The genius was faintly bright, and the occasional late stars in the sky were still blinking, and the city gate was open for a while. A wagon left the city. The four men and two women in the car were all dressed as businessmen.

Du Wenhao saw Wang Anshi for the first time, a thin and tall old man, with a white beard, big eyes and not many myths, and his brows were tightly locked, and he gradually thought to himself, could this shriveled old man be Wang Anshi, a famous writer in history?

Wang Anshi's expression was a little arrogant, giving people a feeling of being ignorant and very high-minded. So Du Wenhao didn't want to talk to him more.

Song Shenzong looked at Wang Anshi, who was sitting opposite: "I went out this time to see what the people think about the change, but I'm afraid you will have to work hard." ”

"The emperor's heart is for the people of the world, and it is the blessing of thousands of people. The blessing of Weichen, where is the hardship, Weichen also wants to follow the emperor out to see the life of the people. ”

Du Wenhao, Lin Qingdai, and Wang Anshi sat together, Yu Ge sat next to the emperor, and Father-in-law Ning was driving outside Lin Qingdai closed his eyes slightly, saying no words, and his expression was solemn, but Yu Ge'er opened the curtain and looked around. With an excited look on his face: "Your Majesty, where are we going to go first when we come out this time?" ”

Song Shenzong's face sank: "What do you call me?" ”

When he came out, he said that Song Shenzong played the eldest master of the owner's family, and the fifth was called the fifth master, and the father-in-law Ning played the housekeeper. Du Wenhao and Wang Anshi pretended to be the shopkeeper of medicinal materials, and Yu Geer pretended to be a maid. So Yu Ge'er said that he slipped his mouth and stuck out his tongue: Master! Sir, where are we going first,,? ”

Then. The car suddenly jolted, and Yu Ge'er groaned. One accidentally sat in Song Shenzong's arms. Father-in-law Ning lifted the curtain, beckoned embarrassedly, and said, "I didn't pay attention to the wheels sinking in." The low-lying place gradually me

Yu Ge'er was a little embarrassed and touched her buttocks.

Song Shenzong saw Yu Ge'er frowning slightly, pouting and saying with a smile: "It hurts."

"Yes. It hurts! Your Majesty, you don't have anything to do, right? Yu Ge asked with concern.

Song Shenzong shook his head.

Lin Qingdai got out of the car and saw that the wheels were stuck in a low depression. Ning Gonggong squatted on the ground and pushed the wheels hard. But the car only shook twice, but it didn't come out, Wang Anshi poked his head out and said, "This doesn't work, let's get down and push it again."

Lin Qingdai waved her hand and said, "No, let me try!" "Walk to the back of the car and gradually press the wheels with both palms. With a few creaks, the car finally came out of the pit.

Song Shenzong also saw it and praised: "Good kung fu"

Du Wenhao was very proud, as if he was praising himself.

Lin Qingdai's face was slightly red, she found a suitable stone from the side of the road to fill in the pit, and got into the car with her father-in-law Ning and continued to move forward.

Song Shenzong said to Yu Ge'er: "The girl gradually said what she said just now, have you thought about where we are going first?"

Yu Ge'er shook her head: "This is a big deal, I'm just a girl, or the master will follow us."

Song Shenzong looked at Wang Aishi with a smile: "What do you mean?"

Wang Anshi arched his hand and said: "Fifth master, in my opinion, it is better to go to Dongming County." ”

Song Shenzong stared at him and nodded slowly: "This is a good idea, thousands of people in Dongming County are visiting your doorstep." It's time to go to Dongming County to see what's going on. It takes a few days to get to Dongming County

Wang Anshi shook his head

"It takes three days to reach Dongming County, Lin Qingdai said.

"Have you been to Dongming County? , Wang Anshi asked.

Lin Qingdai said: "Dongming County produces turmeric, and I have been there a few times. The yellow beauty there is very good in medicine.

Wang Anshi sighed.

The road was talking, and at dusk, the carriage drove to a place called Sunset Town.

When Gonggong Ning was a little eunuch before, he often went out of the palace to run errands, and the errand was also in the way, Yu Pigeon was also helping before and after, like a little bird released from the cage, counting her words along the way, at most, everyone didn't feel tired, only Wang Anshi kept squinting his old eyes. looked like an old pedant, pouting as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back

open

The car was parked in one place and called "Cyclamen." The entrance to the inn. It seems that this town is not big, this small inn only has the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper's wife and three guys, the store is very clean, and there are only two tables of guests to eat. The guy who greeted him at the door saw that a car had stopped, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Guest officer, is it a tip or a hotel? . The guy smiled and greeted him respectfully and asked.

"Let's take a look first" Gonggong Ning put down the stirrups and helped Song Shenzong get out of the car, and said, "Fifth Master, what do you think of this inn?" ,

"Guest officer. Our cyclamen is the best inn in Sunset, and the rooms were renovated a few years ago. The rooms are clean and we charge very reasonably. The guy didn't wait for Song Shenzong to speak, and gradually started to publicize.

Song Shenzong waved his hand and said to Ning Gonggong: "You can stop when you look at it," I was also tired.

Gonggong Ning glanced into the courtyard and said, "Then let's live here."

When the man heard this, he quickly nodded and said yes, and then instructed another guy in the store to lead the carriage and horse to the backyard. Then he bowed down and welcomed the group into the door.

Du Wenhao walked up to Lin Qingdai and whispered, "Tired, right?" I don't seem to be very easy to understand when I see you.

"It's fine. Just take care of the fifth master.

Entered the door. The guy found a place by the street and the window to beckon everyone to sit down, Yu Ge'er walked to the counter and gently tapped the counter with his hand, looked at the vegetable sign hanging on the wall, and said, "So much delicious?" ,

The shopkeeper was a short man forty miles away, with small squinting eyes, a mole the size of a mung bean on the corner of his mouth with a white hair growing on it, and he showed two teeth when he smiled: "What does the girl like to eat, although she is instructed, the cook of our inn is invited from the capital, and his skills are very good."

Yu Ge'er clapped her hands and said, "That's good, I'm really hungry." Zhi turned around and walked in front of Song Shenzong, saw that the guy was serving tea, picked up a teacup and looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and gradually pointed to a stain on the cup and said loudly: "Man, you just take this cup to give our master tea?"

The guy squinted at Yu Pigeon, and said lightly: "Out of the house." You think it's in your house. gradually

Yu Ge'er was not happy when she heard this, and slammed the cup on the table with a bang, and the guy was startled. Sinking his face, Yu Ge'er scolded: "What you said is not right, gradually rely on your parents at home, go out to rely on friends, we are guests, you guy, just take the salary of the shopkeeper but dismantle the shopkeeper's desk on your back, so how can you attract repeat customers."

"You" When did I tear down the shopkeeper's table? The guy couldn't hold his face, and the people at the next table who were so loud as Yu Ge gradually attracted began to look this way.

Yu Ge'er turned her head and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, since you are renovating this store, you must have the idea of doing this business for a long time, why don't you pay attention to the details?" And so on. Who would want to come? ,

Ning Gonggong came down from the upstairs to look at the guest room, and when he heard Yu Ge'er's voice, he hurriedly stepped forward to see him. Exactly pass

"I think what our Yu Ge'er said is right, and gradually your teacups can't be cleaned, so how can we eat the food, don't worry, master, or."

The shopkeeper saw that these six people were the rich masters, and he was willing to let them go easily, so he hurriedly walked out of the counter and walked to the table to play a round: "A few guest officers are really embarrassed, this guy was invited by us." If you are rude, I hope that there will be a lot of Haihan, and I will change the cup and tea for you, so don't be angry. Gradually.

"That's it. Harmony is the only way to make money, hey, you guy learn a little. Yu Ge'er proudly looked at the guy who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and sat beside Lin Qingdai.

The shopkeeper glared at the guy fiercely, and took the tea tray down and replaced it himself.

Song Shenzong pointed at Yu Ge'er and said with a smile: "Look at this mouth." But they don't spare people."

"Since ancient times, women have rapped" Wang Anshi glanced at Yu Ge'er with disdain.

Yu Ge'er glared at her apricot eyes: "Shopkeeper Wang, don't say that, Ling Ci is also a woman."

Wang Anshi was annoyed and said angrily: "You one" maid, how can you talk to me like this? beginning

Song Shenzong smiled and looked at them old and young, feeling very interesting.

He was talking. The shopkeeper came over with the new tea and put it on one by one. Bow down and said! "Master, look at what you eat" Father-in-law Ning next to him hurriedly said: "If you have any good wine and food, you can serve us some, but cleanliness is the most important thing." ”

"That's it. That's gradually, a few guest officers can rest assured, there will never be such a rude thing like Fang Cai again," gradually finished speaking, and then smiled and withdrew.

A few people slowly drank tea and talked, and after a while, the meal came up, although the craftsmanship of six dishes and one soup was naturally not comparable to the imperial chef in the palace. But fortunately, everyone was hungry all the way and didn't feel too unpalatable, so they hurriedly filled their stomachs, and everyone went upstairs to rest.

Lin Qingdai was in charge of security, so her room was arranged opposite Song Shenzong's room, and the room next door to Du Wenhao was on the left and right of Song Shenzong. Yu Ge'er is the emperor's maid. Lived in the outer room of the emperor's suite.

Early the next morning, Du Wenhao heard a woman's voice scolding: "Oh, that lack of virtue is really very divided, and he has the ability to come out for me, Ming people don't do dark things, whatever, are you not afraid of being thundered by the sky if you do these indiscriminate things?" ”

Du Wenhao opened his eyes and saw that Father-in-law Ning, who was in the same room, was no longer in the room, so he quickly got up and got dressed and walked out of the door, only to hear the sound coming from the courtyard behind the house. So I went downstairs to see what was going on.

Du Wenhao came to the backyard, and now Father-in-law Ning and Yu Ge'er were there, and the scolding turned out to be Yu Ge'er.

"What's going on?. Du Wenhao stepped forward and asked.

Gonggong Ning pointed to the carriage canopy, and Du Wenhao had unloaded one of the wheels of the carriage shed. The beams are cushioned by several large stones.

Yu Ge's voice quickly attracted the people staying in the hotel to watch the excitement. Everyone was standing there talking about it.

The shopkeeper also rushed to see this situation, and was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How can this be." At night, the door in our backyard is closed, and no one will come to pass.

Yu Ge'er sneered and pointed at the shopkeeper: "You mean we dismantled it ourselves?" ,

"But our door is really closed! Aren't you you?

Yu Ge'er was angry and grabbed him by the collar.

The shopkeeper's wife, who rushed to hear the sound, said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, I'll find you right away, if you can't find it, we will accompany you to save it with a car."

"Hmph. Where are you going to find me, we still have to hurry, but you unloaded our carriage, what do you mean?

"It's not us, it must not be us. The shopkeeper Ni pleaded his case

Du Wenhao walked up to Yu Ge'er and said, "You put down the shopkeeper first, don't do this"

Yu Ge'er saw Du Wenhao say this, so she let go of the crowd and said, "Since outsiders can't get in, it must be the people in this inn who did it."

"I can't say that, since the inn naturally comes and goes freely, not necessarily the people in the inn do it. An old man next to him seemed unhappy and immediately retorted.

The man said, "What are you going to do by dismantling someone's wheel." If you steal a child, which of the valuable items in the store is not better than this wheel? Why steal a wheel?

"That's right, I see, this is a deliberate troublemaker!

Yu Ge'er sat on the carriage, dangling her two legs, and looked at the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper with her hands on her chest: "Hurry up and find it, the carriage became like this in your inn." You will give it to us

gradually

The guy who quarreled with Yu Ge'er the first day got into the crowd and pointed at Yu Ge'er and said angrily: "I said that your girl is unreasonable, why should we make us pay for it."

Yu Ge'er jumped out of the car and walked in front of the guy. Two people nose to nose. Like a cockfight: "I'm unreasonable? I think you took revenge by unloading the wheels of our carriage and hiding it. it

"You! You're spewing blood! gradually

"Squirting? It's still cheap to spray you, and I'm going to beat you up when this girl gets! Yu Ge'er quickly rolled up his sleeves.

The guy sneered: "You beat me? Okay, gradually! You stinky girl! I'm standing here and you're going to beat you! You're really fighting."

Yu Ge'er slapped it and beat the guy in a circle. Covering his face and staring at Yu Ge'er. said sharply: "Lao Tzu must teach you a little wave" A punch hit Yu Ge'er's towering chest

"Look for death! , Yu Ge'er said, the willow waist twisted to dodge the punch, flew up a kick, and hit the guy's stomach.

The guy screamed and fell to his knees clutching his stomach in pain. It took a long time to straighten up, his face turned white, and he looked at Yu Ge'er in horror.

Du Wenhao looked at the guy kneeling, and suddenly sighed. The eyes lit up.

Yu Ge'er waved his fist triumphantly: "How is it?" Try again?.

The guy shook his head again and again, stood up and turned to leave, Du Wenhao shouted, "Stop!

The guy stood still, holding his stomach and looking at Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao walked over and circled around him, and sneered: "That's right, the one who stole the wheel." gradually

"You guys! Don't be a bully! , the guy said in a loud voice.

Du Wenhao smiled coldly and pointed to his shoulder: "How did the oil stain on you come from?" The axle was stained when the wheel was carried, right?

The guy looked sideways, and sure enough, a small piece of oil on his shoulder suddenly changed his face: "What did you say." It's stained in the kitchen! gradually

"How does the kitchen oil stick to your shoulders? Moreover, as soon as you smell this oil, you can know that it is not vegetable oil, but oil for axle lubrication, which smells of rust. gradually

The guy sniffed involuntarily, and his face was a little pale: "So what? Maybe I was helping other guests unload the wagon.

"Huh. Du Wenhao turned his head to look at the shopkeeper: "Do you still have the habit of unloading the wheels for the guests in your shop?" ,

"This".

The shopkeeper's wife on the side had already seen that something was wrong, so she bent down and picked up a stick and knocked it on the man's back fiercely: "You can't make a thing, did you do it?" Why don't you hurry up and press the wheels for me to hand over to the guest officer's carriage

"Sister-in-law! It's not me, it's really not me". The guy shouted with his hands wrestling, dodging. Hearing that this guy turned out to be the younger brother of the shopkeeper, no wonder he spoke so much.

Du Wenhao stared at the guy, thoughtful, and said slowly: "Let me guess where you put the wheels." It should be in the haystack of the stables, right? And you dismantle it when you get up early and it's not dawn."

The guy looked at Du Wenhao in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Don't be so surprised! , Du Wenhao sneered, "You told me by yourself,
