Chapter 167: The Mystery of the Mountain Village

"Miss, you can't go, I'll just go." Shooting the moon hurriedly stopped, "If the young lady is worried, the slave maid will call Mo Yan again, and she will definitely bring them back." The young lady has a daughter's body and can't take risks. ”

"If things were so simple, Chaiyun would have come back with Aunt Yao a long time ago." Xia Jinse is very resolute, she has to go!

No matter how Mu Xiang and Shooting Moon persuaded him, Xia Jinse made up his mind to go there.

"Chasing Yun knows martial arts, she must be protecting Aunt Yao and can't come back, it is likely that Aunt Yao has an accident and can't leave, or Aunt Yao's mother ......" In short, Xia Jinse guessed that there must be a reason, otherwise Chasing Yun would not have written such a vague poem to express.

Shooting Moon is also worried about them, Chaiyun has been with her for many years, and Aunt Yao is also very good to her, she doesn't want to see the two of them have an accident. "Well, if Miss has to go, then you must be prepared. Mo Yan must follow, but it's a pity that the prince is gone, otherwise tell the prince that everything is solved. ”

Indeed, if Lan Beichen was here, Xia Jinse didn't have to go to it in person, Lan Beichen would help her solve it. But this time, she had to go on her own.

Qing'an Township is dozens of miles away from the capital, and it takes at least a whole day to go back and forth, and nothing is going to happen. Xia Jinse set aside two days, she thought about it, and told Xia Yanxiu that she wanted to account for the income of Tong'an Hall, enter the palace to give the emperor silver, and stay in Tong'an Hall tonight and not come back.

Xia Yanxiu didn't care at all, since it was the emperor's business, he couldn't ask more. What's more, he is busy with Xia Ruxue's marriage now, what Xia Jinse is going to do, he is too lazy to care.

Instead, Zhao muttered a few words, saying that she was a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion who didn't return home at night and stayed outside, and it was not good to spread the word.

Xia Jinse didn't pay attention to the Zhao family at all, and hurriedly left with the shooting moon and silent words.

She went to Baizhen Mansion first, wanted to borrow a few people from the fifth prince Lan Muxuan, and explained the situation to him, Lan Muxuan immediately said: "If Miss Xia has to go by herself, then I will accompany you on a trip, otherwise Uncle Nine knows that I let Miss Xia go to such a far place alone, and he will have to scold me to death." ”

Originally, he only wanted to borrow a few guards for Lan Muxuan to protect him along the way just in case, but Xia Jinse didn't expect that he would go, and even he was alarmed. After thinking about it, she didn't refuse, she said, "Well, thank you, Fifth Prince." ”

With Lan Muxuan's help, everything was more properly prepared. The carriage was quickly prepared, all the rescue tools were brought, and the specific location of Qing'an Township was also clear. Coupled with the protection of six guards, the group changed into civilian clothes and quickly left the city.

This time it was to save people, and the carriage was rushing along the way, and Lan Muxuan and the six guards rode away.

About fifty miles away, after noon, they arrived at Qing'an Township.

By the time I found Huangshan Village, it was already approaching dusk. The sunset was like blood, staining the clouds red, and the burning clouds were densely covered in the sky, with a trace of indescribable weirdness.

"Childe, there is Huangshan Village in front." A farmer leading the way carries a hoe and points flatteringly to the front.

Qianmo traffic, the four fields extend, Huangshan Village is a barren place at a glance. One by one

The simple earthen houses were scattered in front of them, and the slightly better ones were only made of stone, and in front of them were patches of land, with some half-dead dealers, and there were many weeds in the fields, which were very desolate and dilapidated.

If someone hadn't led the way, they really couldn't find this Huangshan Village, which could be seen to be remote.

Lan Muxuan took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over, the farmer's face suddenly glowed, and he hurriedly took it, pinched it in his hand like a baby, and bit it, and said happily: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, the villain will leave." ”

The carriage and horses had already stopped in Qingyuan Township, leaving two guards to watch, and Xia Jinse and them came on foot. After walking for more than half an hour, I met this person halfway through, so I asked him to inquire, and it was really a detour that let him lead the way.

"Why are these people so greedy, as if they have never seen silver?" Shooting Moon glanced at him with disdain.

"Don't say that, some farmers in some villages are very poor, and they can't earn much money by working all year round, and they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for their own families, and they have to buy and sell their daughters."

Lan Muxuan was gentle and elegant, although he was in the royal family, he was well aware of the people's sufferings, he pointed to the front and said: "You see, this Huangshan Village is so poor, although that person is from the next village, but it is almost the same, and it is normal to be very excited when he sees Yinzi." ”

Xia Jinse snorted, but added another sentence: "What the fifth prince said is very right, but there is a saying, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, although we have a lot of people, but we don't know what's going on, it's better to be careful." ”

Not to mention anything else, just their dress and momentum can't hide their identity. Even the martial arts chasing clouds couldn't get out, Xia Jinse only became more and more cautious and walked forward with everyone.

Entering the entrance of the village, the group immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

The village is full of dilapidated mud houses, and it is barely better to walk towards the village. Many people in patched clothes spotted them, men and women, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, staring at them vigilantly, as if they rarely saw outsiders. Others followed them from a distance, as if to see where they were going.

Xia Jinse looked around, Huangshan Village was not only remote, but she was afraid that it was the poorest place in her memory.

Even if the adobe house is made, it is all made of yellow mud and straw, and the roof is covered with thick thatch, and it is good to have a stone house. Some mud houses still have palm-wide cracks on the walls, but they are afraid of the wind and rain, and the inside of the house is muddy, and it is not a place for people to live at all.

Outside the house was a crooked and twisted fence, and it was also in tatters, and two or three skinny leper dogs barked at them, and if it weren't for their large number, they would have rushed up long ago.

"Excuse me......"

Xia Jinse stepped forward, found a peasant woman who seemed to be the kindest, and asked, "We are here to visit relatives, is there an Aunt Huang here, named Huang Cuihua?" ”

The peasant woman didn't seem to expect these people to talk to her, so she took a few steps back in fright, and saw that Xia Jinse didn't step forward, so she said hesitantly: "We, our people in Huangshan Village, are all surnamed Huang, and there are eight ...... named Cuihua."

The one standing in front of the earthen house next door

The man said, "Which Huang Cuihua are you looking for?" Who is she? ”

Another voice sounded: "My daughter-in-law is also called Huang Cuihua, are you looking for her?" After saying that, he laughed, and his tone was full of deflatment.

Gradually, seven or eight villagers surrounded him, with ill intentions, and some people rolled up their sleeves and approached Xia Jinse. Lan Muxuan, Sheyue and the others immediately protected in front of Xia Jinse, and the four guards dressed as subordinates stood in front of them, looking alert.

Suddenly, a voice came from afar: "Who came to our Huangshan Village?" ”

The voice was a little old, but it seemed to be very majestic, and the ill-intentioned villagers immediately retreated, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Jinse and the others saw that the leader was an old man in his fifties, walking towards them with more than a dozen villagers, and many villagers behind him, obviously curious.

This old man was obviously seen by Xia Jinse, the best person in Huangshan Village, cotton linen homespun cloth clothes, a black hat on his head, and a cigarette pouch in his hand, very stylish.

"I'm Huang Shouren, the village leader of Huangshan Village, a few of you are from a foreigner, why do you want to come to us?"

As soon as the old man spoke, the surrounding villagers all quieted down, and Xia Jinse also understood the identity of this old man, not only the village is the village, but he seems to have seen some of the world, otherwise he would not have said so much.

As long as you can speak well, it will be easy to do, Lan Muxuan arched his hand at Huang Shouren of Murazheng, and said politely: "Huang Cunzheng, we are from the capital to visit a relative, I am really sorry for the disturbance." Our relative is called Huang Cuihua, I only know that she lives in Huangshan Village, but I don't know the specific location, I don't know if Huang Cunzheng informed? ”

Lan Muxuan's personable appearance and demeanor made Huang Shouren a little polite, and he hummed: "Eight of the ten households in our Huangshan Village are surnamed Huang, and there are too many of them called Cuihua......

Xia Jinse immediately said: "Her husband's surname is Yao, and he also gave birth to a daughter. ”

"The surname Yao?" Huang Shouren thought about it.

At this time, a villager next to him came to his ear and muttered a few words, his face changed slightly, and the momentary resistance in his eyes did not escape Xia Jinse's eyes. At this moment, Lan Muxuan stepped forward and took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Huang Shouren's hand: "If Huang Cunzheng knows, please help inform us, we are here to visit relatives, and we will leave as soon as we see each other, and it will not affect everyone." ”

Huang Shouren pinched this heavy piece of silver, his face recovered, and he said: "It's easy to say, a few people said this, but I remembered it." The Huang Cuihua you are talking about is from our village, but she has passed away, and her daughter came back to mourn a few days ago, don't you all know each other? ”

Aunt Yao's mother is dead?!

Xia Jinse was taken aback, but even if this is the case, Chaiyun and Aunt Yao will not be unable to go back?

She casually fooled a few words, saying that Yao Cuihua had helped them before, and she passed by here to take a look, and since she passed away, she had to take a look before leaving.

Xia Jinse asked, "Then where does she live, and what about her daughter?" ”

Huang Shouren said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, those few will."

Let's go and see her, Huang Cuihua's house is in the westernmost part of the village, the house that is almost half collapsed, and there is a dead old locust tree next to it, which is easy to find. ”

"Thank you." Lan Muxuan arched his hand, nodded with Xia Jinse, and led everyone towards the west of the village.

When the group of them walked away, Huang Shouren's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, keep an eye on them, don't let them do anything." If they are here to make trouble, there will be no one left. ”

All the villagers immediately responded, as if they were already skilled in doing such a thing, and quickly dispersed and disappeared behind the house.

After walking out of a distance, Xia Jinse glanced back from a distance, those villagers were gone, they should have gone back to their homes, right? The village named Huang Shouren stood still, smoking a cigarette, as if watching them.

A strange feeling came over her, and she couldn't tell why.

"Mu Xuan, you shouldn't give him any more silver, although it's Muramasa, but didn't you pay attention to the eyes of other people?" In order not to reveal his identity, when he entered Huangshan Village, Xia Jinse couldn't call Lan Muxuan the fifth prince, so he simply called his name directly.

"I know that it is easy to get rich when you take money out in front of so many people."

Lan Muxuan explained: "However, our goal now is to find someone as quickly as possible, even if there are some risks, we can't take care of it." Since Huang Shouren is a village leader, he must abide by the law if he wants to come, so as not to do anything openly, not to mention that we have brought so many people, don't worry. ”

Xia Jinse thought about it, this time she was not alone, there were chasing clouds and silent words, and it was no problem to deal with the killers of chasing clouds. What's more, Lan Muxuan can also do martial arts, as well as four guards, a group of villagers who can only brute force, they don't have to worry too much.

Huangshan Village is not big, and they walked to the west of the village in just one tea time.

Sure enough, there was an adobe house in front of me.
