Chapter 358: The Stranger in the Mutton Pavilion
He Xuezhi and Mr. Xu glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of sudden realization in each other's eyes.
"My lord, it seems that there is a wolf lying next to us all the time." Mr. Xu sighed: "But I was clumsy at the bottom, and I couldn't show up." He suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of He Xuezhi, and said guiltily: "Lord, the person I brought back, it was under the lower to lure the wolf into the house, which caused the current situation, please punish the lord!" ”
He Xuezhi was stunned for a long time before he sighed, helped Mr. Xu up, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, it's no wonder you, she has been in the Spring Garden for so long, and I haven't been able to show a flaw in several attempts, how can I blame Mr." ”
Mr. Xu's eyes showed a hint of depression: "I can't imagine that such a woman is so cunning, and I have tried it many times, and I can't know her details." She concealed her martial arts very deeply, and I didn't even realize that she had peerless martial arts...... I was so negligent! ”
"Who would have thought that such a peerless figure would actually stoop to be a dancing girl and hide in my spring garden...... This is something that no one could have imagined. He Xuezhi shook his head, his expression immediately cooled down, looked at Mr. Xu, and asked softly: "Sir, Han Mo and Mei Niang have a few nights...... Is it just confusing us? Or, Mei Niang actually did a fake play with Han Mo for the sake of the account book, and really paid such a price? ”
Mr. Xu frowned slightly, and finally said, "Lord, if you don't guess wrong, Han Mo may have been covering for Mei Niang." Mei Niang was injured by my Guigu hand, and Han Mo slept in the same bed with her, so it was impossible not to know. Then he sent the Imperial Forest Army to guard, at first we thought he was addicted to Mei Niang's **, worried that Mei Niang was injured by the assassin, now it seems that it is to protect Mei Niang, afraid that we will detect Mei Niang's injury! ”
He Xuezhi was a little surprised and said, "Sir, if this is the case, then isn't the account book in Han Mo's hands at this moment?" ”
"No!" Mr. Xu said with certainty: "Mei Niang entered the Spring Garden earlier than Han Mo, that is to say, Mei Niang had already saved the intention of coming to steal the account book, and then being with Han Mo may just let Han Mo cover her up." Although I don't know how the two of them reached a tacit understanding, the two of them did reach a tacit understanding in the past few days and covered each other up. ”
He naturally didn't know that this Yan Xue Ji and Han Mo had long been acquaintances.
"What the gentleman said is reasonable." He Xuezhi nodded slightly: "A peerless person like Mei Niang, since she is so painstakingly planning to steal my account book, it is impossible to easily hand over the account book to Han Mo." But...... What does Mei Niang want this ledger for? What deal does she want to do with us? ”
"Then we can only wait and see what happens!" Mr. Xu said calmly: "If it is really as we expected, I think Mei Niang will soon find us and negotiate some kind of conditions with us!" ”
He Xuezhi breathed a sigh of relief: "If you want to negotiate conditions with us, then I don't have to worry." As long as there are conditions to negotiate, we can deal with it well. Immediately clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he snorted coldly: "Han Mo, this stinky boy, has been thinking about dealing with me, this guy, if he continues to stay, I am afraid that there will be more disasters...... ”
Mr. Xu looked at He Xuezhi and asked, "What does the lord mean, is to ...... Kill him? ”
He Xuezhi's expression was gloomy: "It is naturally best to be able to kill him." It's just that...... There is no perfect solution, but it cannot be done lightly. ”
"Murder...... It's not difficult! Mr. Xu's expression was grim, and he said slowly: "In the last resort, that is, when it is absolutely necessary, use the word 'kill'!" ”
……
……
The sudden disappearance of the corpse of Dahong Rice Cang made Han Mo puzzled, and he felt that there seemed to be another big cat in the middle.
He is now very aware of the situation he is currently in, it is already very sinister, since he and He Xuezhi have already sent people to kill each other in secret, such a secret battle will soon be brought to the table, and it will be directly contested.
From the moment he came out of Yanjing, the He family was ready to put himself to death, and even wanted to stretch out to fight the Han people by hitting himself.
The initial honeymoon has proven to be a gentle trap that kills people and is invisible.
When Han Mo came out of Yanjing, he also thought that it was impossible for him to avoid this criss-crossing struggle, and reason told him that since he had entered such a whirlpool, it was impossible to exist and spend it peacefully with nothing to do.
People have no intention of killing tigers, tigers hurt people's hearts!
Just as Han Xuanchang was worried, once he stepped into the quagmire, it was impossible to leave cleanly.
When the He family saw the young Han Mo stepping into the quagmire, they would think that the young man was easy to deal with, so naturally they would set a trap for Han Mo to drill in, and the He family would definitely not be polite to this.
Therefore, Han Mo correctly judged the situation he was facing.
He knew that the He family must find an opportunity to rectify themselves, so from the moment he left Beijing, he never thought about settling down, let alone thinking that running the He family would let him successfully complete his duties.
He never sits still, and understands a truth, ** struggle, never compromise with the enemy who wants to kill you, because your compromise will allow the enemy to find more opportunities to kill you.
In the mud, using wisdom and courage to go down with difficulty is the only path you can take.
Just when he was pondering alone, Xiao Mu's arrival woke him up.
Xiao Mu was protecting Yan Xue Ji in the Spring Garden, and when he came back at this time, Han Mo's first reaction was that there was something wrong with Yan Xue Ji.
"My lord, Miss Mei Niang has left the Spring Garden!" Xiao Mu took out a letter from his arms: "This is the letter from Miss Mei Niang who asked her to transfer her humble position to the adult!" ”
"Leave?"
"Yes!" Xiao Mu replied: "Miss Mei Niang is not dawning today, and suddenly found the lowly position, told the lowly position that she was leaving the Spring Garden, so that we don't have to guard it anymore, and handed over this letter to the lowly position, and let the lowly position be handed over to the adult!" ”
Han Mo frowned, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and smelled a familiar fragrance from the letter.
"Little Wrongdoer: The old lady is going to leave Yichun for a while, you take good care of yourself. Beware of anyone around you, if it weren't for the gambling contract, the old lady might stay to protect you. However, my man is very wise, and he must be able to deal with even the most difficult situation. When we see each other next time, I want you to try the last style! "At the end of the payment, it is a red lip print.
A very colloquial letter, after Han Mo read it, he couldn't cry or laugh.
But soon, his brow furrowed again.
With Yan Xueji's personality, if things are not done, it will never leave here, and now that she is gone, does it mean that what she wants has arrived.
Han Mo's mind was like electricity, and his brain was running rapidly.
He suddenly realized something extremely strange.
Yan Xueji didn't leave early or late, just after the dark night of **, she suddenly left ......!
"Damn, shouldn't you have taken that thing?" Han Mofu was so relieved that he suddenly realized this. Yan Xueji lurked in the Spring Garden, in order to fulfill the gambling contract, she did everything possible to wronged herself to get a thing, could it be that what Yan Xueji wanted to get was the same as what she wanted, it was He Xuezhi's...... Books!
Han Mo's heart was even more full of questions, who made a bet with Yan Xueji and defeated her? Why did you borrow Yan Xueji's hand to steal He Xuezhi's account book? Now that Yan Xueji has left Yichun County, where is she going?
The complexity of Han Mo's current situation in Yichun at this time seemed to be even more chaotic than he imagined.
There seem to be other characters hidden behind this, characters who can beat Yan Xue Ji, what kind of master is that?
"Brother Xiao, you've worked hard for the past few days." Han Mo smiled: "Let's go, I'll invite you to go to the restaurant." I heard that there is a good small restaurant in this Xichun county, where can we go to satisfy our hunger! ”
Xiao Mu was stunned, how could General Han be so Yaxing today?
However, since coming to Xichun County, because of the shortage of food, the food of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army is not abundant, just try to maintain normal physical strength, and each soldier has a strict quota every day.
Xiao Mu is in the Spring Garden, and the food is not bad every day, but the wine is not allowed to be touched, after all, he has the duty of guardianship, and Xiao Mu is strict with himself.
This can be regarded as a small torture for a good wine general.
Now that General Han wants to invite himself to the small restaurant for a meal, although Xiao Mu's expression is calm, he is still looking forward to it, and the wine bugs have begun to move in his stomach.
Just like last time, the two of them changed into ordinary clothes, quietly left the camp in Dahong Rice Warehouse, and headed for Changyuan Street.
The streets are still full of people coming and going, and the cries are endless.
"Brother Xiao, do you know why I invited you out for a drink?" Walking on the bustling streets, Han Mo asked softly with a smile.
Xiao Mu shook his head.
"You will protect Mei Niang for me for a few days, and this is one of the reasons why you are invited to drink." Han Mo smiled: "Another reason is even simpler. If you want to know the general situation of the people now, you can get a glimpse of it by sitting in the restaurant and listening to their nonsense. ”
Xiao Mu nodded and said, "I see!" ”
The small restaurant that Han Mo said, it was a mutton restaurant, and the cooking utensils at this time were not as dazzling as those of later generations, but they also had their subtleties.
The lamb restaurant is not big, and there are not many customers.
After all, those who think they have an identity go to the big restaurant to eat, such a small restaurant, they don't look down on it, as for the ordinary people, now that food is a problem, they will not spend money to come to the mutton restaurant.
Although this mutton restaurant is small, but in special periods, the price is not cheap, eating a pound of mutton, enough to buy two or three catties of rice.
Fortunately, there are still some guests in the mutton restaurant, and three or four of the ten tables are seated, just as Han Mo said, they are all drinking on the mutton, and they are blowing cowhides with the strength of the wine.
The two of them were ordinary, sitting in the corner, not conspicuous, first came two catties of mutton, ordered a few side dishes, and asked for two jars of wine.
Xiao Mu was like nectar after a long drought, drained the mud seal, poured a big sip on his back, and then put down the wine jar, wiped the wine from his mouth, and shouted, "Happy!" ”
Han Mo smiled, the three lieutenants under him, Xiao Mu, who was introverted but proud, was a good helper.
The people at the table next to him were talking about the rice market at this time.
"This Dahong rice store has closed the shop, which is really happy. Several other rice merchants used to just dare to sneak around, but now they are openly selling grain. A drinker said with a smile: "Early this morning, I bought two large bags of grain and went back, and each catty of grain is now only 50 copper coins." ”
"Yes, General Han, the grain guard, has really done a great good thing for our people this time. But then again, Natian Buren usually looks like a villain, but this time he is a good man. If he hadn't stepped forward and reported to the county yamen, General Han wouldn't have known about it, and he wouldn't have been able to make decisions for us. ”
"Hey, hey!" Someone lowered his voice and laughed: "It's really happy to see General Han holding a bucket of cold water and pouring it on that dog." This General Han is young, but he is full of courage in doing things, and he is the old man of the county guard......! ”
"Shh......h Make a small voice, don't be sued by someone. "Someone reminded.
"Don't be afraid. Now those officials and old men don't have the time to take care of us idlers. You don't know yet, I heard that the officials of the Ministry of Officials are checking on them, and those guys are all stinky water, and they really have to be checked carefully, and when the time comes, they will all have to be escorted back to the capital to go to prison, maybe some people will want to ...... Chop off your head! ”
"Or!" Someone whispered: "It's too much, but don't drink too much, other people's heads were not cut off, but your head was cut off first!" ”
There was a sudden humane at the table next to him: "Don't be afraid to talk about it, there are some people who should be pulled to cut off their heads." I hope that General Nahan will take a good look and drag all those corrupt officials to the execution ground. ”
A person next to him shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that General Han is powerless." He is a young man, and he can really deal with such a large group of corrupt officials. This matter is not over here, and there is still a lot to watch later. ”
"By the way, I heard that General Han is the fifth son of the Han family in Donghai County, and he is a very powerful person. I heard someone in the East China Sea say that when their fifth young master was born, he came out with a golden finger, and he was a god in the sky! ”
"This thing is mysterious, I'm afraid it's bragging." Someone immediately said: "But I heard that the people of Donghai are living a good life, and there are many good officials over there." ”
When Han Mo heard this, he couldn't help but look at his right hand with black gloves, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And when Xiao Mu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Han Mo's right hand, but Han Mo happened to look at him, the two looked at each other, Han Mo knew that Xiao Mu was also curious about this in his heart, and nodded slightly.
Xiao Mu suddenly showed surprise, and then showed a smile.
Just when everyone was drinking and bragging, two more people walked in from outside the restaurant, wearing very ordinary people's coarse cloth clothes, wearing hats on their heads, and a person in front of them was quite stout, but not tall, with a fierce face, it was a man in his thirties.
The person in the back, carrying a gray package in his hand, was about the same height as the person in front, not handsome, but quite handsome, with slightly sunken eyes, slightly convex forehead, and a slightly taller nose than ordinary people, only twenty-three or four years old.
The shopkeeper welcomed the two into the store, but the two sat down in the innermost corner, not far from Han Mo and the two who were facing the corner.
Han Mo saw that the appearance of these two people was quite peculiar, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and it happened that the young man also looked at Han Mo, and when he saw Han Mo looking at him, he immediately frowned, and his expression became extremely unkind.
