Chapter 226: Double Punishment
Qin Xiang waited in place for about ten minutes before Han Yunxiao and the others came back, and the coachman was still carrying a yellow peach wrapped in cloth in his hand.
"So much?" Qin Xiang looked at the somewhat bulging package in surprise, he didn't expect that there would be so many yellow peaches that Han Yunxiao said.
"Well, take it and eat it on the way." Han Yunxiao said loudly, and at the same time took it from the coachman's hand and put it in the carriage.
"Are we ready to go?" Qin Xiang glanced at the lit up sky and asked.
"Yes, palm...... Madam. The driver nodded and packed his bags.
Qin Xiang also stood up and went to the side of the carriage, and when she was about to go up, Han Yunxiao picked her up domineeringly, "Don't move." ”
Qin Xiang raised her head in confusion and looked at the angular man, she always felt that Han Yunxiao was a little strange today, but she couldn't say what was strange.
At the moment when she was thinking, Han Yunxiao had already put her in the car and said with concern: "You can rest for a while." ”
Qin Xiang wanted to shake her head and refuse, but her body instinctively yawned, and she had to swallow back the words hanging in her throat, "Okay." ”
I didn't sleep all night, I didn't have a mobile phone or other entertainment to play, and I was dull all night, and now I put it down, only to find that I was indeed a little tired.
After Han Yunxiao made sure that Qin Xiang was asleep, he lifted the curtain of the car and walked out, and said in a cold voice, "How did the gang before investigate?" ”
"The investigation is out." The coachman knew what he was referring to the people in the inn before, "The inn was opened three years ago, it is actually a black shop, and it is usually used to drugs, and everyone who lives in this inn has lost their money unexpectedly, and some people have lost their lives directly, and this inn is also notorious outside." ”
"So, it's the ordinary people who they're extorting." After Han Yunxiao finished speaking, his eyes emitted a cold cold light.
"Well, is there a way for the proprietors to deal with them?" The coachman understood that he was jealous of such a force, so he asked.
"Don't worry, remember the person I told you before?" Han Yunxiao pondered and shook his head, his cold brows furrowed.
The coachman thought for a moment, remembering the familiar voice he had also said he had heard, "Remember, the owner is worried that he has something to do with this matter?" ”
Han Yunxiao nodded, this was what he was most worried about at the moment, he could understand the conversation that night, and it was certain that the two had a direct relationship.
But to what extent, and the last time he caught the attention of that person, he was also worried that the person would destroy the evidence.
"In the past few days, you have people to collect the whereabouts of that person, as well as the things that have not been seen in the dark, the better."
Since he wants to choose to sit idly by and confront that person, he must prepare in advance.
"Okay, can the owner's punishment be mitigated?" The coachman laughed twice and said tentatively.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt the fierce aura emanating from Han Yunxiao's body.
It's okay if he doesn't mention it, mentioning it reminds Han Yunxiao of what happened before.
Han Yunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold gaze fell on him, like a devil from hell: "Double punishment!" ”
After saying that, he snorted coldly and lowered the curtain.
The coachman's face instantly turned bitter melon color, and he looked back at the still moving car curtain, as if he felt cold air through the car curtain, and his neck couldn't help but shrink.
Five days later, Qin Xiang and his party finally came to the small county town that Han Yunxiao said.
Although it is a county seat, because of its proximity to the capital, it is very lively, and all kinds of vendors are hanging on the streets.
"Let's go get some food first, find an inn to stay in, shall we?" Qin Xiang lowered the curtain and said loudly.
They traveled for five days in a row, and when they smelled the snacks sold on the street or the smell of meat coming from the restaurant, they instantly felt very hungry.
"Hmm." Han Yunxiao nodded, he thought of it with Qin Xiang, and said to the coachman, "Find an inn to stay." ”
"Okay." The coachman answered excitedly, and found a good inn to stop the carriage.
As soon as Qin Xiang and the three of them walked in, the guy greeted them warmly and said with a smile: "The three guest officers are invited, is it accommodation or dinner?" ”
Qin Xiang watched his guy's every move, and had to say that the management of the inn here was much better than that of the remote places in their township.
Han Yunxiao sat down and said calmly, "Prepare two rooms for us, as well as some of your signature dishes here." ”
"Okay, wait a minute." After hearing this, the smile on his face became more, and he turned around and said to the kitchen: "Three guests, one signature dish, two rooms!" ”
Qin Xiang listened to this down-to-earth voice and felt that the experience of the past few days was a bit trance-like.
Although it was a little difficult before, it was the first time that I was hunted down.
"Those people last time ......" Qin Xiang said worriedly, that road was the way they had to go back, if those people intentionally obstructed it, they would be recognized.
Han Yunxiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and replied, "There is an official government, and they have already dealt with it." ”
"When did you report it?" Qin Xiang looked at the two of them in astonishment, she was there all the way, but how did she not know that she had reported to the official?
"You forgot to tell you about the few days you were unconscious." Han Yunxiao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but in fact, they did not report to the official.
If they report to the official, they will definitely be alarmed, and the most important thing is that the person behind them will also take precautions, and when they want to investigate what those people have done, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.
Qin Xiang didn't think much about it, she had been in a coma for a long time, and it was normal for them to report to the official during this period.
At the same time, the hot meal was gradually served, and it was not until the last dish was placed on the table that the man said, "A few guest officers, please eat slowly, please give me orders." ”
"Hmm." Qin Xiang answered, then picked up chopsticks and ate with them.
After a meal, Qin Xiang ate two bowls of rice before she could put down her chopsticks, and she was lying on the chair with some propped up.
When she just wanted to go back to her room, she heard the discussion of the people around her, which made her stop.
"Have you heard? Recently, it has been rumored that the emperor has taken a fancy to oil refining technology and is full of praise for those who refine oil. ”
"Oh? And what's going on? Let's talk about it carefully. ”
For a moment, the people at the table pricked up their ears to listen, for fear of revealing a word.
"I heard that the oil refining technology was done by a woman, and now there is a lot of uproar in the capital, saying that it is the emperor, and sending someone out to inquire about the whereabouts of the woman, saying that there will be a lot of rewards!"
"What a strange woman." Everyone sighed, and admired the people who made the oil refiners.
"You don't know, the oil used in many inns now is brought back from that strange woman."
"No wonder, I said the food at this inn is getting better and better."
Hearing the words of most of the people who praised the oil refiners, Qin Xiang didn't continue to listen.
After returning to the room, Han Yunxiao grabbed Qin Xiang's hand, afraid that she would be troubled by what she had just discussed, and said loudly: "If you don't want to talk about the oil refining technology, you don't have to pay attention to the emperor." ”
After hearing this, Qin Xiang knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and chuckled: "I'm not bothering about this matter. ”
After the oil refining technology became popular, it was only a matter of time before it was done, and it was impossible to fight the imperial court for this matter.
"And what are you thinking?" Han Yunxiao was still not at ease, from just now to now, Qin Xiang had a deep sadness.
"I'm thinking about the old craftsman you mentioned." Along the way, she asked Han Yunxiao a lot about the old craftsman.
I learned that this old craftsman had a very strange temper, and it could be said that he was a bit of an old naughty boy.
If she asked such an old craftsman to help make a sewing machine, it would not be just a matter of wasted effort.
After listening to this, Han Yunxiao was relieved, he still thought that it was a matter of oil refining, and it was simple to settle the old craftsman, "You don't have to worry too much, the boat will go straight to the bridge." ”
Qin Xiang nodded, she understood this truth, but she always felt that it was not so easy.
Otherwise, how could such a person give up his high wealth and be willing to stay in this small county town and be a recluse?
Han Yunxiao looked at her back and pondered for a long time, the sorrow between his eyebrows gradually increased, although Qin Xiang didn't care that the oil refining technology was widely spread, but according to the news from the people in the palace, I was afraid that things would not be as simple as they looked.
"Lady, if the emperor summons you into the palace, how should you respond?"
"Huh?" Qin Xiang was stunned, she hadn't thought about it so much before, "I haven't thought about this, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't think about it." ”
Han Yunxiao pursed his lips, he had felt that these things were like a huge net enveloping him before, especially now that he was close to the capital, this feeling was even stronger now.
"Lady, aren't you worried about the impact on your business once the oil refining comes?"
Qin Xiang smiled, stopped and said: "Don't be afraid, business is doing little by little, and now the store has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if there are people with bad intentions who want to shake it, I don't say whether I want to or not, I'm afraid that those businesses who cooperate with us will not let this happen." ”
After hearing this, Han Yunxiao suddenly understood, and had to admit that in business, Qin Xiang's mind was more flexible.
"The lady is really a business material, and all the worries and doubts in my heart have been solved at once."
Qin Xiang was a little embarrassed by his praise, and blushed and said: "Xianggong, I have this ability, don't praise me." ”
Han Yunxiao smiled, hugged her into his arms, and sighed that Qin Xiang's ability was something that many people didn't have to squeeze their heads.
It is enough for him to have a wife in this life.
The two hugged each other, Han Yunxiao gently pushed her down, and said softly: "Rest well today, and I'll take you to see him tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Qin Xiang nodded and lay on the bed, but he didn't see Han Yunxiao move for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Doesn't Xianggong sleep?" ”
"I'm going out one more time." Han Yunxiao lowered his eyes and said loudly.
Qin Xiang was silent, she knew that Han Yunxiao was not as simple as it seemed, so she no longer asked him what he would do, "Okay, come back early." ”
Han Yunxiao sat on the edge of the bed and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving.
……
In Liujie Alley, Han Yunxiao and the coachman sat in an inconspicuous place drinking and waiting for people.
After a while, a man with a cloak sat opposite them, and when the man saw Han Yunxiao, his face was respectful: "Dongjia." ”
