"Later, I took the initiative to be a cook for them, in exchange for their trust, until the past two years I was allowed to move around, I heard the news, you have returned to the capital, good, really good, but, I failed Mrs., so many years, not even a Longxi went out."

Mama Lan wiped her tears and said guiltily.

Su Muzhe hurriedly shook her head, this can't be blamed on Mama Lan, she was already in her fifties back then, and now she is in her sixties, and she has paid a lot for their family.

"Mama, why did your mother ask you to find Chun Yu Shangshu back then, is it Chun Yu Yue?" Su Muze waited for Mama Lan to calm down before asking.

"Yes, that's him, do you know him?" Mama Lan asked.

Su Muzhe nodded: "Now he is already the prime minister." ”

But what was the letter that his mother brought to him back then?

Su Muzhe couldn't figure it out, and ten years had passed, and the letter had long since fallen off the cliff and couldn't be found.

Putting aside these doubts, Su Muzhe took Mama Lan's hand and said, "Mama, fortunately I met you this time, don't go up, and when I defeat these mountain bandits, you follow me back to the capital to retire." ”

Mama Lan "belched" continuously, since she found the little master, she naturally wanted to follow the little master, although now she can no longer take care of anything, but she can help the little master take care of the house and the garden.

"However, little master, the old slave went down the mountain this time, in fact, he wanted to help you, the old slave knew that they had no food on the mountain, and the old slave told a little minion in the room, and went around to find something to eat, and then came down."

"Well, Mama, the news you brought is very timely, I will strengthen patrols, don't let them have another opportunity, let them take the initiative to surrender, after all, there are still some ordinary people on the mountain, it is best to solve it without bloodshed."

"You, like your wife, are kind-hearted, those people are honest, they are not too vicious, and they usually don't touch the things of the common people, but then a military advisor came, and this military advisor let the old slave see it, and he was very bad."

Mama Lan said angrily.

"Strategist?" Su Muzhe muttered it again, and he said, how can these people come up with an idea in a while.

"The old slave also knows that in addition to this road, there is also a road to the mountain." Mama Lan looked at Su Muzhe and frowned, and said again.

"What? Mama, is there really a way to go up? ”

Su Muzhe was really overjoyed at this moment.

"yes, yes, otherwise how would Mama have come down?" Mama Lan laughed: "I can take everyone up." ”

"It's really good, Mama, you've done me a great favor." Su Muzhe held Mama Lan's hand and said excitedly.

"Oops, oops, it hurts Mama's hand." Mama Lan laughed and teased him.

Although Su Muzhe has grown so big, his temperament is still like when he was a child, and he is easy to be satisfied and happy with a little thing.

However, for Su Muzhe, this is not a trivial matter.

However, he was not in a hurry to attack the mountain, he was waiting for Chen He and Li Yan to come back.

He always felt that this time things were boring.

"Mama, you go to rest first, and when the time comes, I will ask you to show us the way to attack the mountain."

"No, no, I can't stay here longer, if you think it's not the right time, young master, the old slave will go back to the mountain first, lest they be suspicious, when the old slave is needed, you will hang a red tassel in front of the battalion commander, and then the old slave will come down."

"But Mama, it's dangerous, if they find you, or because of something else, I can't let Mama be in danger again."

Su Muzhe was unwilling, he finally found his relatives, the food on the mountain was about to run out, and if something happened to him and hurt Mama Lan, he would regret dying.

"Don't be afraid, they all listen to the old woman, and they still point to the old woman to cook for them."

Mama Lan patted her chest and said confidently.

Su Muzhe couldn't do it, the two of them discussed the method of jointing, and Mama Lan brought a little flour and wild vegetables from Su Muzhe and went back to the mountain.

It was several more days.

The mountain was completely cut off from food, and even the military advisers didn't have anything to eat for a day.

It's really not a way to go on like this, not to mention that people attack it, even if it's within themselves, they may starve to death.

A few people who were really hungry couldn't stand it and tried to break down the mountain, but they were caught by Su Muzhe on the spot.

But after interrogation, these people have not been contaminated with the blood of the common people, Su Muzhe asked people to bring the board over, put big fish and meat, and several people sat in front of the camp tent at the foot of the mountain, and ate a big meal, and the people on the mountain were all glazed with golden light.

If it weren't for the repeated threats of the military advisors, I'm afraid everyone would have run out.

Even so, there were a few who secretly ran down the mountain.

Su Muzhe patiently waited for the people on the mountain to fall apart, but there was bad news from the head of the household.

Because there were too many refugees and the food and grass from the court had not arrived for a long time, he was already a little overwhelmed.

Su Muzhe took the letter sent by the household book and lowered his head to think.

It stands to reason that when the drought was just reported here, Emperor Jian'an ordered to send grain and grass to help the emergency.

The people didn't get this food, or they all got it at a high price, so there should be a lot of food, where is the county order hidden?

But now that the prefectural magistrate is dead, the prefectural magistrates either died in the turmoil or ran away, and not much is known about the remainder.

If we can find those foods, we may be able to solve the urgent needs of the present.

I briefly said these words to the henchmen sent by Tobe Shangshu, and I believe that Tobe Shangshu can understand it.

All that remains is to wait for Chen He and Li Yan to come back, expose the evil deeds of the county order and Zhizhou, and completely win the support of the people, so that the mountain bandits in Qingtong Mountain can be wiped out, and the mess in Yuannan can be completely solved.

However, Su Muzhe didn't wait too long, Chen He and Li Yan finally came back to recover their lives.

The two of them put in front of Su Muzhe one by one the crimes of collusion between the county order and the governor, embezzlement and bribery, and reselling the relief grain of the imperial court.

Su Muzhe patted the shoulders of the two people with relief: "It's hard work." ”

Chen He arched his hand: "The subordinates also discovered a strange thing. ”

"What's the matter, say." Su Muzhe saw that his face was serious, sat back in his chair, and listened attentively.

"In the course of the investigation, the subordinates found that the government and businessmen colluded to resell these grains and grass, and one of the merchants' stores was not large, but the purchase of grain was the largest."

"So maybe he has a lot of money?"

"My subordinates inquired, and in the past, their family was inconspicuous, but it was just a medium-sized merchant."

This is where Chen He wondered.

Su Muzhe nodded: "Where is it, let's go and see." ”

"It's in the city of Yuannan, and his grain depot is quite close to them."

"Okay, I'll go tonight."

In the evening, Su Muzhe and Chen He changed their night clothes and went all the way to the merchant's house that Chen He said.
