Chapter 192: Bandits
Oh, yes. Shen Tong smiled, she was not polite, Xiao Ren did a really beautiful job this time.
Xiao Ren is only fourteen years old.
"Miss Shen, if Qi Shao knew that you also praised him, he would be very happy, but unfortunately Qi Shao is thousands of miles away, alas, it would be good if the cake was ventriloquist, and he could learn Miss Shen's voice to Qi Shao." The eyes of the flatbread are shining, and there are stars in them
Does her compliment matter?
Shen Tong smiled, but remembered something.
She promised Xiao Ren to give him a gift.
She actually forgot.
"Seven young people have made a great contribution, I should send a congratulatory gift." Shen Tong said.
The stars in the eyes of the big cake were even brighter, and the smile was sweeter: "The big cake thanked Miss Shen for the seventh young man." ”
Saying that, he actually really knelt down, Shen Tong turned sideways to avoid it, and said with a smile: "Then you leave a day late, wait for me to choose a congratulatory gift." ”
Flatbread smiled: "Miss Shen, is there anything here that Flatbread can do?" Although the flatbread is stupid, it is still possible to carry it. ”
Well, last time Fang Fei and Qiao'er just asked him to move and lift.
At dinner, the county lord of Yining also knew about it.
She frowned and asked, "Seventh Brother is very picky, there is nothing he likes." ”
Shen Tong smiled: "It's okay, just buy him something." ”
"Don't, don't, one year he had a birthday, I hit a golden pig of ten taels and gave it to him, guess what?" The county lord of Yining put down his chopsticks and waved his hand to the maids serving beside him, "If you don't eat, you won't eat." ”
Vegetarian food or something, just eat a few bites, she has dried meat hidden in her bedroom, and she has to leave her stomach to eat that.
Shen Tong couldn't imagine Xiao Ren's expression when she saw the ten-tael golden pig, she was very interested and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
The county lord of Yining looked around thoughtfully, as if he was afraid of being heard by Xiao Ren: "He glanced at the big golden pig and said, why don't you just send a gold ingot?" ”
"Hahaha", Shen Tong laughed, this is really what Xiao Ren would say, she asked, "Later, he confiscated the golden pig?" ”
"Accept it, he handed it over to the account room, it's the account room, not the storehouse." The county lord of Yining gritted his teeth.
If it is given to the treasury, it is an object, an object to be collected.
"Alas, later I knew that the third brother gave a silver ticket, and my father gave a house, so ah, Tongtong, you really don't have to bother to choose a gift for him, he is so boring", the county lord of Yining patted his head and remembered one more thing, "We were all young that year, and my mother embroidered a small purse for each of us, my purse was embroidered with a little flower cat, and the third brother and seventh brother embroidered a foal." Does the concubine like it for us? Guess what Brother Seven said? He said that the purse was too small to fit much forage, hahaha! ”
Shen Tong was stunned, and suddenly understood what was going on, Xiao Ren actually thought that the purse was for him to feed the horses.
The few maids serving in the house all laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight, and Shen Tong was also curious about what Xiao Ren was thinking in his head, how did he come up with the idea of filling his purse with hay?
The next day, Shen Tong took Fang Fei to go shopping, she went to the harness shop opened by the people of the Western Regions, and wanted to pick a saddle or whip to give to Xiao Ren.
The horse harness of the people of the Western Regions is very fancy, inlaid with gold and silver, these horse harnesses are suitable for the sons and brothers to compete for beauty, but they are not suitable for generals like Xiao Ren.
Coming out of the harness shop, Shen Tong didn't see Fang Fei, this little girl just said to buy rock sugar gourds, and she hasn't come back yet.
At this moment, I saw Fang Fei running over, but what she was holding in her hand was not a rock sugar gourd, but a sugar man.
"Miss, Miss, Sugar Man!" Fang Fei handed the candy man to Shen Tong.
Shen Tong didn't answer, and said with a smile: "You eat, where are they?" ”
Sugar man is a code.
Shen Tong was by the side of the county lord of Yining, and he lived in Pudu Temple, Xu An and Lu You were inconvenient to meet her, so they took the sugar man as a password, and when they saw the sugar man, Shen Tong knew that they had something to look for her.
Xu An and Lu You sat in a teahouse, which was deserted with only a few customers.
Seeing Shen Tong and Fang Fei coming in, Xu An said loudly: "Little sister, we are here!" ”
Shen Tong walked over, sat down across from them, and asked, "Did you find something?" ”
Xu An nodded, lowered his voice and said: "We found out one thing, more than ten years ago, there was a gang of bandits in Baifeng Mountain a hundred miles away, once they encountered Tartars during robbery, killed more than 100 Tartars, made great contributions, and were recruited by the imperial court. Coincidentally, we were drinking in a tavern, and we happened to meet one of the bandits, his name was Luo Xi, after being recruited, he broke a leg on the battlefield, and that tavern was opened by him, and he liked to drink a few glasses when he was fine, and when he drank too much, he loved to brag about how many Tartars he had killed. ”
Shen Tong smiled, she had seen many people like this. The body of the once great shore has been mutilated, but the days of the horse leather shroud will never be forgotten.
"What did he say?" Shen Tong asked.
"When we asked about the time before Zhao'an, he said that there was a scholar on the mountain at that time, and that scholar's surname was Lan." Xu An said.
"Surname Lan?" Shen Tong was taken aback, she had already decided that Master Lan was using a fake name, but she didn't expect this surname to reappear.
"Yes, it's Lan. Luo Xi only knew that his surname was Lan, and everyone called him Lan Nerd. Lan Nerd is a scholar, once the bandits happened to meet him when they robbed, he only had an old servant and a bookbox by his side, the bandits were not interested in them, they were going to let them go, but the blue nerd refused to leave, he said that although the world is big, there is no place for them to live, he wants to go up the mountain to be a bandit. The bandits laughed and said what could he do as a powerless scholar? Lan Shudun said that he had read Sun Tzu's Art of War and could be a military advisor for them. Xu An took a sip of water and continued.
"The big boss of Baifeng Mountain has studied, and he has some respect for the readers, Luo Xi doesn't remember what Lan Nerd said again, in short, Lan Nerd persuaded the big boss to leave their master and servant on Baifeng Mountain."
Shen Tong already understood a little in her heart, and she asked, "Could it be that the bandits of Baifeng Mountain recruited an later, but this blue nerd left?" ”
"Yes, the day after the big boss decided to be recruited, the blue nerd and his servants were gone. He was a military advisor, he had a token in his hand, and everyone decided that he was useless, so no one was on guard against him. Lan Nerd took the token and left the cottage easily", Xu An said this, took another sip of tea, and said, "We showed Master Lan's portrait to Luo Xi, and he said that the person on the portrait is fifty or sixty percent similar to Lan Nerd!" ”
