Chapter 22: A Pillow of Yellow Beams
After listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "You have already seized a large amount of stolen goods from Chang's carriage and horse shop, why do you think of another batch of goods?" β
Ye Xiaotian said: "I didn't expect it, but Hu Qifeng's mysterious disappearance aroused my curiosity, I want to know, who did he want to protect when he burned the account books?" After that, I remembered the rumors that Gao Li and the two village owners had told me, and I had doubts about you and Lu Mo, so I began to send people to secretly watch your every move, at this time, I don't need to think about anything, what my eyes see, has already told me the correct answer. β
Ye Xiaotian picked up the tea that had been cold, took a sip gently, chewed the faint smell of tea, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, the batch of goods found in the back mountain of Chang's carriage and horse travel is only a small part, right?" Perhaps, it was you who instructed Hu Qifeng to deliberately delay and not transport it away, just in case. In fact, the bulk of this batch of goods has been on your side for a long time, right? Pity the person who was always at ease, and always only knew that the person who took the goods from him was Hu Qifeng, but he didn't know that Hu Qifeng just changed his hand and handed it over to Lu Mo! β
Master Wang laughed hoarsely a few times and said, "Ye Xiancheng, what a hero is a young man!" The old man pleaded with you a few days ago, thinking that this would dispel your wariness of me, but I didn't expect it to be useless. β
Ye Xiaotian also laughed and said, "I won't tell you, Master Wang, you really scared Ye Mou by acting like that day, Ye Mou is really a little flattered." But looking back and thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is unreasonable, you are self-defeating. β
The king said: "How can it be, will be reconciled, isn't it a beautiful talk." β
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Master Wang, you are really old, you may have forgotten how you got along with your father and ancestors when you were young, but I haven't forgotten." Ay! Most of the elderly are stubborn. How can it be so easy to bow your head, let alone to a junior. β
Master Wang was stunned, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Downstairs outside the window, the banquet was nearing the end, and someone had already found that Master Wang and Ye Xiaotian had disappeared, and shouted loudly with a little bit of wine: "Ye County Cheng, Master Wang, where are the two adults, the county master is already drunk." You two can't be deserters! β
Ye Xiaotian stood up and said to the king: "You won this game of chess!" I won this battle! To borrow a phrase from your king's book, 'Being in officialdom is like this, it has nothing to do with grievances, and you can't help yourself'. Today's winter feast, let's not ruin everyone's interest, let's go down and have a few more drinks. How is it? β
Master Wang slowly stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay! Ye Xiancheng, please! β
Ye Xiaotian said politely: "The king is the master book." Please! β
The two of them walked downstairs with their arms together, talking and laughing, and they didn't know that one of them was about to become a prisoner.
Hua Zhixian was drunk and lay on the desk, and vaguely returned to the night of the cave room Hua Zhu Xiao Dengke in his dream. He gently lifted the red hijab with a weighing rod, and saw Ya'er's two bends of autumn water and her delicate face. Hanachi smiled, drunk in a dream. Smile like a spring breeze......

The Chen family's convoy and Lu Mo's convoy went on the road together, from Huxian County to Lujiao Town outside the mountain, there was a long distance in the middle, Ye Xiaotian protected Shui Wu and Yaoyao, and took Ai Dianshi's car from Lujiao Town to Huxian, and stayed in the mountains for two nights.
The convoy of the Chen family lady escorted the heavy coffin, and Lu Mo's convoy was full of trucks, which was naturally even slower, and they had to stay in the mountains for three nights before they could climb out of the mountains and reach Lujiao Town.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Lu Mo found the Chen family lady to discuss and find a place to stay. The lady of the Chen family, a woman, had no idea, so she naturally obeyed Lu Mo's arrangement. LΓΌ Mo commanded the convoy to travel for a while, and when he found a place where the caravan had lived, he ordered it to stop and set up camp.
This is a place where merchants often camped in the past, backed by green hills, beside the flowing water, the ground is relatively flat, and some of the piles used to camp are also ready-made.
With these foundations, their tents were quickly set up, and night was falling fast in the mountains, and the tents had just been set up, and the sky was already pitch black. Lu Mo's convoy was escorted, and the matter of the vigil patrol was naturally handed over to them.
The lady of the Chen family is a woman, and she usually doesn't go out much, but now that she has traveled so far, her body has long been tired, so she just had a little dinner, took her daughter into the tent, and soon fell asleep.
Chen Muyan's sixth brother didn't sleep, he stumbled, pretending to take care of his group, and until everyone got into the tent, he quietly rushed to Lu Mo's tent. As soon as Chen Laoliu saw Lu Mo, he nodded and said, "Master Lu, when do you think you will do it?" β
Lu Mo asked, "Are they all resting?" β
Chen Laoliu nodded, and Lu Mo bowed his head and said, "Okay!" Wait until they are more asleep, and then do it in half an hour. β
Chen Laoliu nodded and quickly dived out again. When passing by the coffin placed between several tents, Chen Lao Liu stopped, folded his hands to Chen Muyan's coffin, and prayed silently: "Cousin, you have a spirit in the sky, don't blame your brother for offending, people are poor and short-minded, and there is no way!"
Cousin, you made so much money, but you didn't see the family, and the result was good, and it was all copied by the government. Brother is now borrowing your coffin for a purpose, and the shopkeeper Lu said, after the deed is completed, he will give us a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!
Cousin, that's a thousand taels! Our whole family can live a good life, cousin, don't worry, the majority of this honorarium will definitely be shared by the brothers to the sister-in-law, and our Chen family will definitely take good care of the sister-in-law and niece, and never teach them to be bullied. β
Chen Lao Liu chattered for a long time, and then tiptoed away. After half an hour, a group of dark shadows quietly moved, and they sneaked up in front of the coffin. For they had to hurry tomorrow morning, and the ropes and bars that bound the coffin were still on it, and they lifted it up and walked away.
To open the coffin, it is inevitable that there will be a movement here, which may wake up the unsuspecting person, so they have to quietly carry the coffin into the pine forest. The coffin was carried into the pine forest and laid down, they quickly untied the ropes and bars, someone took out a few crowbars, and with a tooth-aching creak, the coffin board was pried up.
When the lid of the coffin was lifted, the pine oil torch shone inside, and I saw that the coffin was full of all kinds of Nanyang treasures, and there were at least twenty or thirty ivory tusks in it. Lu Mo showed a smug smile on his face, stroked his beard and said, "Hurry up and get all the goods out!" β
Before the words were finished, there was a "boom" in all directions, and countless torches suddenly lit up, and a spear with a sharp handle was reflected by the torch. Hua Yunfei's voice came clearly from the darkness: "Don't move, those who dare to resist will be killed!" β
Lu Mo and the others were shocked, seeing that there were shadows in the dark, and they didn't know how many people were lurking. Under the light of lantern torches, they are simply a group of live targets, and if they try to resist, they are afraid that few will be alive after a round of throwing guns.
Lu Mo's face was as pale as dirt, and he could only grit his teeth and order: "No one is allowed to act rashly!" We...... Surrender! β

"Brother-in-law, you're awake!"
"Ah......h
"Brother-in-law, Master Wang has been arrested!"
"Huh?"
"Not only the king's book, but also the big businessman Jia Lumo, they are in a group."
"Huh?"
"Oops! Chang Zizi and Chen Muyan were just picked up to hide people's eyes, the real smuggling thieves are actually Wang Zhuji and Lu Mo! β
"Ahh
Hua Qingfeng's eyes widened suddenly, this time, he was really awake.
Hua Qingfeng was drunk last night and was carried back to the county office by Su Xuntian. Naturally, he was sent back to his sister's room to rest, Hua Qingfeng couldn't get drunk this night, and he didn't wake up until dawn, Su Xuntian, who had been waiting next to him for a long time, couldn't hold it back, and immediately told him the news, but he didn't say it clearly, but Hua Qingfeng's brain hadn't sobered up yet, and the word "ah" was all said in the flat, up, go, and in, and I didn't understand it yet.
Su Ya glared at her younger brother angrily, and said to Hua Qingfeng: "Master, is it like this......"
Su Ya heard about it from Su Xuntian's mouth, but from what she said, she was much more organized than Su Xuntian. In the end, she is a husband and wife for many years, she knows her husband's thinking habits and understanding ability very well, a very complicated matter, she said it concisely, and Hua Qingfeng, who was still dizzy, actually understood.
Hua Qingfeng listened to Su Ya's words, sat on the couch, stunned. Su Ya looked at him worriedly, and called tentatively, "Master? β
The corners of Hua Qingfeng's mouth flattened, and she looked like she wanted to cry without tears: "How can this be?" How so? Meng Xiancheng, it's down! Xu Xiancheng, it's down! The king's book has also fallen! What does this make Shangfeng think, are there still good people in my Hulu County? β
Su Ya said with a smile: "Master, your worries are too long-term, I think they joined forces to restrain you at the beginning, so that you, the county master, could not be restrained, if they were not selfish, did they need to do this?" Now it's just retribution. Master, you quickly wash and change clothes, you still need to preside over such a big case, this is another great achievement. β
Su Ya said, handed over the hot towel that had been thrown, Hua Qingfeng took it blankly, wiped her face indiscriminately, and called, "Ya'er! β
Su Ya saw that his face was solemn, and she didn't know what was important, so she hurriedly asked, "Master?" β
Hua Qingfeng said: "Take a cup of herbal tea, I'm thirsty!" β
:Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets!.
