Before dawn, Su Ren returned. Leng Jun and Hawking, who had been worried all night, were finally relieved.

"Are you alright? What the hell are you looking for? ”

Su Ren didn't say a word, J sat on the edge of the couch, supporting his chin with both hands: "It's okay, you guys go to sleep first." ”

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has won all battles, this is the experience summed up by the great wisdom for thousands of years, and how to forget it all when you come to yourself. In this warm water, I am different from others in every way, and I feel that I can control everything. Actually, it's still an ordinary person, an ordinary person who also has brain convulsions.

"Big brother, is he okay?" Hawking asked coldly.

Leng Jun shook his head: "It's not the first time, it should be thinking about things, sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow, let him think about it for himself." ”

Early the next morning, several people were awakened by the sound of gongs and drums. Hawking got dressed and rushed out the door. The streets were crowded with people, and soldiers from the barracks stood on both sides of the street to maintain order, and the vendors along the street were driven away, leaving the wide streets.

Hawking turned his head and asked the innkeeper, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

The shopkeeper let out a sigh: "The person sent by the imperial court is leaving, and he is finally leaving, otherwise I will not be able to do this business." ”

As soon as he heard this, Huo Jin ran to the backyard guest room in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Big brother, second brother, good thing, that ugly monster is leaving." ”

Leng Jun came out of the room and stretched. Su Ren in the back was also listless, with two dark circles under his eyes like a panda, and he didn't have the slightest excitement about Hawking's shout, just lowered his head to find a basin to wash his face.

"You two are not happy? As soon as the ugly monster is gone, it will never embarrass us again! ”

"Humph! I'm already sad, what are you waiting for if you don't leave? ”

Hawking was coldly said, muttering and not speaking.

When Tian Wei left the city, martial law in the city disappeared. Su Ren did not rush back to Laojunguan, and came to the back door of the county government again. Tian Wei is gone, and the county magistrate who has been living outside has finally moved back. These days, he is always worried about what Tian Wei has taken a look at in his family, so he will take a hand. When I got home, I immediately began to examine my things.

Su Ren was familiar with the road and went straight to the study of ordinary things. Today's Su Ren is not what he used to be, not only is he familiar with the family, but he is also the fifth doctor of the ninth rank. If you enter the county government again, you don't need to report it.

"County Zun, can you speak?"

Coldly, someone spoke, and Chang Shi was taken aback. When he turned his head and saw that it was Su Ren, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Scared me, why didn't you report when you came in?" ”

Su Ren ignored him. sat on the Taishi's chair and grabbed a roll of bamboo slips and looked at it.

"You came quickly, that Tian Wei received the money and left immediately, but he is also a person who keeps his promises, but I don't know if the money we give can get things done?"

"Tian Wei has already agreed to deal with Zhou, but he also told me one thing, that is, how much does the county know about Liu Wen's backstage?"

"Liu Wen's backstage?" Chang Shi was stunned for a moment, snatched the bamboo slip in Su Ren's hand, rolled it up again, and put it in the original place: "Liu Wen has something to do with the royal family, I haven't heard who his backstage is, did Tian Wei say it?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Although I didn't say it, listening to what he meant, it should be very hard, and even Tian Wei is afraid of three points." ”

"Oh? This Tian Wei is the uncle of the country, the Marquis of Wu'an, and Lang Zhongling, his sister is the Queen Mother, and his nephew is His Majesty today, and there are not many people who can make him jealous. ”

"Yes, I also wonder, it stands to reason that a county in a small border county, even if he is a royal family, he is also a hairy phoenix, not as good as a chicken, I didn't expect that there would be a backstage that scared the emperor." Su Ren frowned: "Can you tell me about the Liu family?" ”

Chang Shi thought for a while: "When Gaozu came to Wenshui, this place was still ...... Dian Kingdom at that time."

"I know all of this, are there any others? Was there any situation of the Liu family when he was the emperor? ”

"I don't know about this, I've only been here for two or three years, and the Liu family has not changed much in the past few years, you can ask the county lieutenant about this matter, he is a native of the country."

Chang Shi's eyes rolled, and he said, "Do you think Hou Jian has something to hide?" ”

"It's not something, it's for sure! Hou Si deliberately told me about the ancestors of the Liu family, but they didn't say a word about the later situation. ”

"Oh? This Hou Jian, what does he want to do? ”

"Since the county lord doesn't know, I won't bother and leave."

Su Ren left. Chang Yuan came, and just wanted to speak, Chang Shi immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "A stunned young man, let him touch the iron plate, I didn't see him come to the county government and didn't report it, do you really think that now that I have a knighthood, I can be considered a character?" It's still too young and needs to be sharpened. ”

I didn't get the desired results here in the common world. Going to Hou Jian will definitely not gain anything. Su Ren had already realized that both Chang Shi and Hou Jian were deliberately hiding something from themselves, and if they didn't figure out these things, they would suffer a big loss in the future.

Back to Laojunguan, Su Ren asked Huo Laosi to inquire about the Liu family. If the Liu family has a relationship with the imperial court, such a big thing will never be concealed with Liu Wen's style of doing things, although it will not make a lot of trouble in the city, someone should know. Huo Laosi has been in warm water for so many years, and this matter can only be handed over to him.

While waiting for Huo Laosi's news, he waited for Wu Bald's news.

In other words, Wu Bald and they have been walking with the goods for almost a month, and there is no news so far. Even if something happens, someone has to be sent to report it. Wenshui is the border of the Han Dynasty, and it is not far to the south that Yelang is in the territory, according to the military map provided by Hou Jian, one hundred and ten miles southwest of the border is Wuyang, the southernmost county of Yelang country.

"Xiao Jinzi, you go to Shuangzui Mountain again today and tell them that if there is no news from Wu Baldzi, we will cooperate with them to cancel."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Before Hawking went out, he coldly carried his sword and escorted Gou Tianming into the door. I haven't seen him for a month, Gou Tianming has lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks, which are already meatless, have gone down for another point, and they are extremely ugly.

As soon as he saw Su Ren, Gou Tianming fell to his knees with a puff, with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Su, our boss is ......" and he couldn't speak anymore.

Su Ren was unhappy and said angrily: "What's wrong?" Say! ”

"Our boss has been killed!"

"Who did it?"

"Yelang people, they don't keep their word, they take our things but don't do business with us, and they want to rob our goods. In order to cover us, the boss blocked the pursuers alone and died of exhaustion. ”

"What about the goods?" Hawking asked.

Su Ren glared at Hawking: "Yelang is arrogant!" Okay, you are a Yelang person, do you really think that you are a strong country, and no one dares to mess with it? ”

"Mr. Su, we have shipped the goods back, but the loss is not small, although the officials of Yelang Country are arrogant, the people are very willing to do business with us, but our boss is dead, this Shuangzui Mountain group has no leader, and I am afraid that this trade route will not be successful."

"Why can't you go? Starting tomorrow, I will get you some weapons, and you will start training, this trade route must be taken, and if you dare to obstruct it, you will be killed! ”

Gou Tianming wanted to speak and stopped.

"What? Scared? You will be bold when you rob houses and houses, and the prestige of fighting the southern barbarians will be gone? ”

"But we ......"

"Although you are mountain bandits, you are also Han people, anyone who opposes us Han people is an enemy, it is because you ran away this time, so your boss was killed by others, as long as we work with them together, this kind of thing will not happen again, of course, remember one thing, don't harass those people, after all, we are going to do business, not to fight and destroy the country."

"Hmmm! Let's do it! ”

"I will immediately find someone to get rid of the goods brought back, and tomorrow I will send someone to transport some food, and then take some money to the injured and dead brothers and families, so that they can't earn money for us but die in vain."

Su Ren's words said that Gou Tianming's heart was hot. The policy of sticks and carrots works well in any era, and these mountain bandits are reckless men, and their kindness to them will be remembered for a lifetime.

Su Ren helped Gou Tianming up and asked him to sit down. Sent Leng Jun away from all the people gathered outside the door, closed the door, and began to study the strategy of dealing with the Nanban. Su Ren is not a strategist, but he can still come up with ideas on how to win people's hearts and divide and disintegrate. The two of them talked about the lantern from noon. Su Ren left Gou Tianming and a few people to have dinner and sent him out.

Huo Laosi didn't come back until the second half of the night, dragging his tiredness, he felt that he hadn't heard anything. Seeing that Su Ren was still waiting for him, he knocked on the door and came in, lowering his head and not knowing how to face Su Ren's trust.

"Fourth brother is back, how's it going, what's the news?"

Huo Laosi shook his head: "I have found a lot of old people, and the Liu family has not changed much in the past ten years, it is all trivial things, Brother Ren, this Liu family really has a backstage, could it be that Wu Anhou deceived us?" ”

"Tell me what's the news?"

"The old man Zhao of Hebei Village said that thirteen years ago, the Liu family's granaries outside the city were burned down overnight, and some people said that they were stolen by ghosts, which was tens of thousands of stone grain and rice, and the Liu family did nothing about it, and still lived their own lives."

"Also, the old man Qin of Jingfang Village said that the Liu family was originally prosperous, but later, the men disappeared somehow, and even Liu Wen's father, Liu Tang, disappeared together, so Liu Wen was in charge."

"Oh? This is all a strange thing, when did the man of the Liu family disappear? ”

Huo Laosi shook his head: "Old man Qin didn't say it, it should be a short time, and it was almost before and after the granary was burned." ”

"It's kind of interesting, what was the era name thirteen years ago?"

"It should be the First Emperor Dynasty, three years!"

"Three years?" Su Ren seemed to have grasped something in his mind, but he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Oh, yes! The crazy woman Cai in the east of the city said that he had seen Liu Wen's father, Liu Tang, with his children and the cattle pulling the cart heading east, and there were many people in the middle of the night! ”

"East? It's also been in Emperor Jing for three years, right? ”

Huo Laosi nodded: "That crazy woman Cai is a madman, and no one believes his words." ”

Su Ren paced back and forth, holding one hand to his chest and touching his chin with the other, but unfortunately he didn't have a beard, and he pondered these things over and over again in his mind, hoping to understand the connection.
