Shopkeeper Shi saw that they were really young, but Gu Shinian was a little older, and he didn't look like an official, so he smiled and said: "Although Tongzhou is not big, the scenery is unique, what do you want to see?" ”

Gu Shinian raised his hand to pour tea, and said casually: "Gong Xie once had a poem: he is not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, only because he is in Cangnan Mountain. Since our brothers and sisters have traveled here, we must go to Cangnan Mountain to have a look. ”

Yan Rongling also echoed: "Yes, there are no places of interest in Tongzhou, only Cangnan Mountain can still show our hands, we are going to Cangnan Mountain." ”

The stone shopkeeper's face was about to turn into a flower, and I knew such a smile on his face: "It's good that a few sons have met contemptible people, otherwise it will be a small thing to run for nothing, and it will cause a big trouble!" ”

Yan Rongling said unhappily: "What, come and climb a mountain, and pay for the road?" ”

"Lu Gongzi laughed, but now Cangnan Mountain, even if you have money to buy a road, you can't go up."

As soon as Shopkeeper Shi's words fell, Gu Shinian questioned: "How is it possible? ”

Xiao Yao also said: "Although I didn't go up the mountain a few years ago, I heard that the mountain is full of people, and there is a dragon king temple that is very effective?" ”

The shopkeeper turned over a teacup by himself, then poured a cup of tea, and said in a loud voice: "Xiaoyu, hurry, go to Longjing in another pot, and ask for new tea this year!" ”

Then he replied to Xiao Yaodao: "Mr. Lu doesn't know, now this Dragon King Temple has become the ancestral shrine of Lord Yin's family. And Cangnan Mountain moved the ancestral grave of the adult's family, and now it can't go up. ”

Yan Rongling pretended to be surprised, and said with disapproval: "How did this famous mountain and river become the private ancestral tomb of this Tongzhou Mansion Yin?" Is there any royal law? ”

Shopkeeper Shi shook his head and made a silent gesture and said: "This day Emperor Gao is far away, Gongzi Rong is quiet, don't make trouble for the shop." ”

Gu Shinian wanted to be a little older, and asked each other: "Shopkeeper Shi, I would like to hear the details." ”

Yan Rongling suddenly got up and said angrily: "Second Brother Gu, what is there to ask about this, I don't believe it, I want to go to Cangnan Mountain, and there are still people who dare to stop me!" ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly played the round and said with a smile: "Rong Ling, I'll accompany you out for a walk, and wait for Second Brother Gu to talk to Shopkeeper Shi." Come out and play, don't be angry. ”

After Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao rushed away angrily, Gu Shinian raised his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, don't mind, my junior brother is a little wooden in reading. ”

The stone shopkeeper smiled "hehe" and said with a long sigh of relief: "Don't mind, don't mind." To be honest, just now I was afraid that you were officials who made a private visit to the people and observed the people's feelings. Seeing that Rong Gongzi is like this, I am relieved. ”

Gu Shinian frowned and said, "Why did the shopkeeper Shi say this, could it be that there is something wrong with this Tongzhou?" I was two years older, I took my two younger brothers out of the house, and I borrowed manpower from my grandfather's family, so I couldn't make a mistake. ”

Seeing Gu Shinian's cautious appearance, the shopkeeper Shi was even more relieved, and then brought the rules and matters of Tongzhou one by one.

When Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao came back, it happened that the shopkeeper Shi had just gone out, and he said goodbye to Gu Shinian.

"A few of them are fresh faces, it's okay to get out of the city early, the world is so big, you can travel everywhere. Young people, don't be too curious, a lesson from the past! ”

Gu Shinian arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the shopkeeper Shi, we didn't plan to stay longer, so we will go on the road tomorrow." ”

After Shopkeeper Shi left, Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao walked in again before discussing in a low voice.

Gu Shinian first told them some information from Shopkeeper Shi that the situation in Tongzhou is forcing now, and they still have to find a way.

"Since the beginning of the year, Hu Luo has been overhauling civil engineering in Cangnan Mountain, and Tongzhou has strictly checked the foreign population. As long as there is no local person as a guarantor, the inn, teahouse, and restaurant are all required to report. ”

Yan Rongling's face was calm, and he was furious: "Hu Luo really thinks he is the Emperor of the Earth?" ”

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, and said, "We were walking on the street just now, and we also found someone watching. I think Tongzhou is very dangerous now, so let's leave first. ”

"But how do we get the evidence?"

Yan Rongling didn't want to leave yet, since Hu Luo could ignore the laws of the imperial court and be an official in Tongzhou for decades, then he must have a backer in the court.

Gu Shinian looked out the window and said in a low voice, "Rong Ling, Lu Yuan makes sense. Since we know that there is a problem with Cangnan Mountain, when the time comes, we will tell the emperor, and the imperial court will naturally send a messenger to lead troops to find out the truth. You really don't have to risk yourself. ”

Seeing that Gu Shinian and Xiao Yao both had this intention, Yan Rongling no longer insisted, and said in a low voice: "Okay, we will go out of the city tomorrow." But before I go, I want to go to the foot of Cangnan Mountain to have a look. ”

"That's okay, we can pretend to pass by, and go out of the city after seeing it."

The three of them agreed, and then left the Mingxiang Tea House and came to the Tong'an Inn next to it.

When they asked for a room and went upstairs, a group of people happened to come down from the second floor, and everyone staggered by. Gu Shinian was so worried that he didn't care, but the leader who came down turned around and glanced at Gu Shinian again.

Xiao Yao sent Lu Chang out of the city, because he was not worried about Hu Qiang, who stayed outside the city, for fear that he would find out that his acquaintances were moths.

It was Xiao Manzi who was guarding Hu Qiang, and when he saw that Lu often came back, he hurriedly greeted him and whispered: "Where is Young Master Rong?" The young lady told me to follow the young master, but the young master asked me to stay outside. ”

Lu Chang smiled: "You have a white face and a sweet mouth, otherwise how could you borrow this farmer?" I'll come out to accompany you, and they'll come back tomorrow. ”

Xiaomanzi Nunu mouthed and said with a smile: "This kid is restless, he wanted to sneak away just now, but now he was knocked out by me and lying on the bed." ”

"It's to be careful, it's difficult for the master to get evidence, this kid is a witness, and he has to be imprisoned."

Lu Chang and Xiao Manzi talked and laughed easily, but Hu Qiang in the room was much more pitiful, his hands and feet were tied, and he was stuffed with a handkerchief in his mouth, squeaking vigorously.

On the morning of July 14, Gu Fanghua used the excuse of praying for blessings and reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and took the Zhong family brothers and sisters and Yan Qi up the mountain to hunt, and secretly took people to Tongzhou.

Of course, Mama Cen and Aunt Xia Chun can't be brought, and the Imperial Forest Army can't be alarmed, Gu Fanghua also left a special book to explain and asked them to wait for him in Tangshan.

She only brought Danzhu and Green Chrysanthemum, as well as Xiaoyuanzi and Father-in-law Qian, and Ye Thirteen, who had no intention of bumping into them and running away.

Fortunately, everyone can ride horses, and it only takes three hours to go to Tongzhou. Gu Fanghua is very much looking forward to waiting for Brother Rong Ling and the second brother to see her, how surprised they will be.

However, Gu Fanghua didn't expect that she hadn't surprised Yan Rongling yet, but they gave themselves a scare first.

The reason is that Xiao Manzi and Lu often waited until noon and did not see their masters go out of the city. Worried, Lu Chang went into the city to look for someone again, but as soon as he arrived at the Tong'an Inn, he was taken down by the officials who were ambushed there before he had time to inquire.

Xiao Manzi waited for a long time and didn't see any news, and when he heard that there was something wrong with the city gate, and when the fire was in a hurry, Xiao Yuanzi took Gu Fanghua and found it according to the mark left by Xiao Manzi.
