Tan Su replied: "Because Zou Yi is the governor of a state, it is easy for him to say hello to the army of this state, right?" ”

After listening to Tan Su's answer, Wan Lin said with a smile: "What you said has some truth, as the governor of a state, it is not difficult for Zou Yi to communicate with the army of this state. But after all, the army is full of people, what if someone finds out about this and secretly exposes him? ”

"This ......" Tan Su scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Wan Lin said again: "Have you ever wondered if the richest man in Xinqu County has any friendship with Zou Yi? Even if he shows up to build the road, not everyone who builds the road has the right to send his own family to guard the road. If that road was really guarded by his family, and he had a friendship with Zou Yi, then Zou Yi would definitely let Yan and his family take to Xinqu County. ”

"The little one is taught!" Tan Su first expressed his admiration to Wan Lin, and then asked anxiously: "Then should we immediately call someone to Xinqu County to find Lord Yan's family?" ”

Wan Lin's heart has rekindled some hope, "If Zou Yi wasted so much effort to send Lord Yan's family to Xinqu County, then there would be a great chance that their family would survive." Otherwise, there was no need for Zou Yi to send people to such a far place. Of course, all this if the box was indeed filled with Lord Yan's family. ”

Tan Su said with anticipation: "Judging from the smallest, Lord Yan's family should be in those two boxes." My lord, I know that you don't trust the people here, anyway, we also brought the guards, so let's go find Lord Yan's family by ourselves! ”

Wan Lin denied his idea, "Although we brought more than a hundred and ten guards this time, this is someone's realm after all. We are strong dragons who can't suppress the head snake, so we still have to be more careful. ”

Tan Su asked with a headache, "Then what should we do?" ”

"It's not easy for a few of us to find Lord Yan's family with our own strength, and we can also ensure their safety. But in addition to the people of the county government and Zou Yi, we can also rely on the power of another group of people. ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, the hope in his eyes increased a little.

Tan Su asked puzzledly, "Another group of people?" My lord, if we don't know each other well, can we find anyone else to help? ”

Wan Lin smiled confidently, "Then the other group of people are the people of Shiliang County!" ”

Tong Shi had another nightmare at this time, and after he was suddenly awakened, he saw Wan Lin and Tan Su standing in front of the bookcase, as if they were talking about something.

"What time is it? How did I sleep for so long? Is there the whereabouts of Yan Yongde's family? ”

Tong Shi got out of bed embarrassed and hurriedly walked in front of Wan Lin.

Only then did Wan Lin tell him about his meeting with Old Man Huang and his analysis of the whereabouts of Yan Yongde's family.

After listening to Wan Lin's words, Tong Shi was immediately excited.

"There's a clue! That's great! Master Wan, the old man sees that your analysis is very reasonable, so let's see how we should let the people help us find Yan Yongde's family! ”

Wan Lin said with a sad face: "Actually, it is not difficult to get the people to help, but the difficult thing is how to avoid Zou Yi and his eyes and ears. Xia Guan went out before, and if Xia Guan went out again, I am afraid it will arouse Zou Yi's suspicion. ”

Tong Shi said: "Then I'll go out, I'll go directly to the Huang family sauce shop to find Old Man Huang, and he will definitely help contact and find someone." ”

Wan Lin thought for a while and said, "Then let Tan Su accompany you." ”

"Lord Tong, Lord Wan, can you two get up?"

Zou Yi's voice suddenly sounded cautiously outside the door.

Wan Lin first glanced at the door with a little disdain, he guessed that Zou Yi must have known that he had gone out, and he might even send someone to follow him.

Wan Lin cleared his throat and said, "We're all up." ”

Zou Yi said again: "Then please drink some ginseng soup to replenish your body, and then let's move to the county office." ”

Tong Shi responded: "Okay, we'll come out right away." ”

After speaking, Tong Shi said to Wan Lin with disgust: "Later, I will find an excuse to leave, you have to help me stabilize him." ”

Wan Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will act when they meet the opportunity." ”

Tong Shi looked at the hot ginseng soup in front of them, and joked to Zou Yi: "Lord Zou, haven't all the things in your house been burned?" Lord Yan's family is poor, we all know it. So where did this ginseng come from? ”

Zou Yi replied respectfully: "This small piece of ginseng is the inventory that Xiaguan has been holding at the bottom of the box for many years, and he brought it with him because he went out. Xia Guan thought that if the two adults were not accustomed to the local water and soil, they could boil some ginseng soup for the two of you to drink to nourish your body. ”

Zou Yi's words can be described as very "filial", and even Tong Shi was almost fooled by him.

Tong Shi was about to pick up the ginseng soup, but after listening to him, he immediately put down the ginseng soup, because Tong Shi found that what Zou Yi had in front of him was just a bowl of steaming water.

"Lord Zou is so caring. But this ginseng is a good thing that you have stored for many years, why are I embarrassed to drink it with Master Wan? ”

Wan Lin also put down the ginseng soup at the same time, and said in his heart that Zou Yi was simply too good at buying people's hearts, and the reason why he was able to run rampant and domineering in the place was not only because of Lian Jingwei's backer, but also because of his own welcome to his superiors.

Zou said that the two of them didn't drink the soup anymore, so he said: "You don't have to be polite, in fact, Xiaguan has already drunk a bowl just now, you two came all the way from the capital to our small place, and you must have eaten a lot of hard work on the way, if you don't dislike Xiaguan and this small state mansion, please drink the ginseng soup." ”

Wan Lin and Tong Shi saw that Zou Yi was so "sincere", so they still drank the ginseng soup.

The three of them arrived at the county office first, and Tong Shi discussed with the two of them for a while, saying that it was really boring to wait for the news of Yan Yongde's family in the county government like this, and he wanted to go out and breathe.

Naturally, no one would dare to stop Tong Shi from doing anything, but Zou Yi reminded him with a worried expression: "Lord Tong, it's okay if you want to go out and take a walk, but Lord Yan's whereabouts are unknown so far, you have to be very careful on the street!" In case the person who made the whereabouts of Lord Yan's family unknown was specifically targeted at officials, then we must be careful. ”

Tong Shi wanted to go to Old Man Huang for help as soon as possible, and didn't want to talk nonsense with Zou Yi anymore, so he laughed perfunctorily.

"Hehe, Lord Zou don't have to worry, I won't go far, you don't have to worry."

Wan Lin asked Tong Shi to take Tan Su away in front of Zou Yi, Tan Su is a big guy anyway, Wan Lin is understandable for him to take Tan Su with him for Tong Shi's safety, and it will not arouse Zou Yi's suspicion.

Tong Shi went straight to the Huangjia sauce shop under the leadership of Tan Su.

It was now close to noon, and the business of the sauce shop was good, Tong Shi and the others waited outside for a while, and only walked into the shop when there were fewer people buying sauce.

Old man Huang recognized Wan Lin and Tong Shi.

"This is Lord Tong, right? Little old man meets the adults! ”

Tong Shi saw that Old Man Huang was unusual, and then thought of the clues he provided, and added a little admiration to him.

"The old man is exempt. How did you recognize this officer? Tong Shi asked curiously.

Old man Huang said what he said to Wan Lin to Tong Shi again.

Although he said this, according to Tong Shi's experience in knowing people for many years, he would not be as simple as a sauce old man.

However, Tong Shi didn't have time to explore his life experience, and the most important thing now was to immediately follow Wan Lin's conjecture to find Yan Yongde's family.

Tong Shi directly said his intentions, and Old Man Huang agreed very much when he heard it.

"You and Lord Wan have a very good idea, Lord Yan is deeply loved by the people, it is easy to mobilize the people to find him, and this is also something that the people are willing to do. In the past, we were all blindly looking for Wan Daren, but now it is better to have a clear goal. ”

However, Tong Shi was still a little worried, so he discussed with Old Man Huang: "But what if the richest man in Xinqu County sends his family to fight against the people?" I don't want the people to be harmed in any way. ”

Old man Huang waved his hand indifferently, "Hey, adults don't have to worry about this. If we all agreed to look for Lord Yan, none of us would be greedy for life and afraid of death. You two wait here for a while, and the little old man will contact someone! ”

Old man Huang poured tea for Tong Shi and Tan Su and went out.

Tong Shi shouted behind him, "What if someone comes to buy the miso?" ”

Old Man Huang said indifferently: "They all know the price, when they make the sauce themselves, you just let them leave the money on the counter!" ”

Tong Shi smiled helplessly, and had to wait for Old Man Huang to come back.

The old man Huang didn't go long before waves of customers came in the shop.

When they saw Tong Shi and Tan Su sitting at the counter, they all wondered, and Tong Shi patiently explained to them that Old Man Huang had something to do, and they were here to help watch the shop for a while.

Tong Shi originally thought that he would just say these two sentences, but the people of Shiliang County were very enthusiastic, and asked where they were from? What is the relationship with Old Man Huang? Some people even thought that Tong Shi and Tan Su were father and son, and praised their father and son for looking alike, etc.

Tong Shi has never been asked by so many people, and Tan Su also has a black line at the end because he was asked by several people whether he is married, and both of them are looking forward to Old Man Huang coming back soon.

Tan Su whispered in Tong Shi's ear: "Doesn't it mean that the people love Lord Yan, as long as they say that they want to find Lord Yan, they will be able to respond to every call?" Why hasn't Uncle Huang come back yet? ”

Tong Shi was also a little worried, and said in his heart, is Old Man Huang bragging? Or are the men of Shiliang County cowardly and ungrateful?

Tong Shi endured it for a while, and when the customers in the store were almost gone, Old Man Huang finally came back.

"I'm really sorry to keep you two waiting!"

Old Man Huang was out of breath as soon as he entered the house, and he seemed to have walked a long way.

Tong Shi smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay for us to wait a little longer, but why did you come back by yourself?" Didn't you say to go to the liaison? ”

Old man Huang saw that Tong Shi was in an anxious mood, so he smiled at him, "Everyone has been found, haven't you two seen them?" ”

"What?" Tong Shi and Tan Su were stunned.

Tong Shi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Huang, don't make fun of us, how can this ......?"

Before Tong Shi's words could be finished, he suddenly reacted to what Old Man Huang meant.
