Chapter 54: It's Not That Simple

At this time, Yu Long stood up, pointed to the short and thin corpse, and said to Menghui: "Master, this dead man is not wearing a mask, and his hair is thick and yellow, not much; The teeth are not straight, there are only twenty-four, the hands and feet have very thick calluses, the tartar is heavy, and there is a lot of smegma, so it should be a poor and poorly educated pariah. ”

"His eyes are slender, but the eyeballs are large, the tongue is large, the tongue coating is yellow, the bad breath has the taste of rotten garlic, the neck is thick and short, but the Adam's apple is small, and it is likely that he is from the Li, Ye, and Zhang clans in the northwest."

"His shoes look like they have been worn for a long time, judging from the needlework arrangement characteristics of the soles and the style of the upper, they should be from the Xu family embroiderers of Yan Kingdom."

"The clothes on his body, on the back of the sleeve pocket, are sewn with the three words 'Ye Xiaolang', it is possible that this dress was sewn to him by his woman, these three words are his name."

"The knife he used was not bought from the market, nor was it from the official family, and there was no mark, but judging from the method of forging, it should be from the Daliang Guofang family."

"His stomach only has bread, beef, garlic and wine, and no rice that southerners often eat, which further proves that he cannot be a southerner, but should be from the northwest."

"Looking at it this way, this person is indeed likely to be called Ye Xiaolang, you ask Shen Qingfeng to draw his portrait, and then, Feige passes the book, let people check his details." Dream back frowned and commanded.

"Yes." Yu Long immediately did so.

Dream Hui also took Liang Kun and Xiao Qiongzhi back to the carriage.

When pulling Liang Kun into the car, he noticed Zheng Bang standing on the side of the road, turned his head to Xiao Qiongzhi and said, "Zhi'er, you tell your uncle that His Royal Highness Prince Kun is escorted by me, so you don't need to trouble him anymore." ”

"Okay, thanks." Xiao Qiongzhi happily agreed.

She returned to Zheng Bang, took out the jade plate, and told her all the things that Menghui told her to say to Zheng Bang truthfully.

Zheng Bang is good at kung fu and has a different sense of hearing than ordinary people, so he has already heard the conversation between the two of them.

He silently put the jade plaque in his arms, picked up Xiao Qiongzhi, and walked back, without thanking Menghui at all.

On the contrary, Xiao Qiongzhi felt a little embarrassed, turned around and returned to Liang Kun, smiled and waved his little hand.

When they returned to the team, Zhou Yuandong, Liu Wuxiu, Zhou Dayong, etc., all gathered around to ask about the situation.

Qiu Yuandan saw that Liang Kun didn't come back, so he also came over and asked.

Zheng Bang knew that Xiao Qiongzhi liked to communicate with everyone very much, so he deliberately kept silent and asked Xiao Qiongzhi to answer.

Xiao Qiongzhi went out this time and got four hundred and ten taels of silver, and he was happy in his heart.

She immediately answered everyone's questions truthfully one by one, and handed over the three silver tickets of one hundred taels to Zhou Yuandong.

Zhou Yuandong refused to take it, shook his head and said: "Zhi'er, the road is not very flat now, you should hold these silver tickets first, and when I return to the village, you will hand them over to me." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong said the same.

Xiao Qiongzhi took back the silver ticket, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to Zhoujia Village with Zheng Bang.

After walking for a while, Zheng Bang suddenly asked softly: "Zhi'er, what do you think about the robbers that Liang Kun met in Jiuyou Mountain, and the dead soldiers he met this time with Meng, wearing the same clothes and having about the same number of people?" ”

"They're supposed to be a bunch of people." Xiao Qiongzhi replied without hesitation.

"Why?" Zheng Bang curled the corners of his lips.

Xiao Qiongzhi replied again: "This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, it is very complicated. ”

"It should be based on the reason why Liang Kun introduced them to Xiaoliang Country and only five cities in front of my house, as well as the fact that Dream Hui and Liang Kun happened to come to Chu from Xiaoliang Kingdom."

"That's right, Zhi'er, you're smart and seem to have seen through some of the twists and turns." Zheng Bang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi approvingly.

Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head: "There are some things, I have seen through them, so what?" Liang Qiu and Liang Kun both have a good side, if they are born in an ordinary children's family and there is no major conflict of interest, then, even if they occasionally have some small calculations, they should still be good brothers all the time. ”

"It's a pity that they were born in the emperor's family, and they must have more and more contradictions because of the grievances and hatreds of their fathers, as well as their own expanding selfishness and ambitions.

"So, if you were Liang Qiu or Liang Kun, what would you do when you understood this?" Zheng Bang asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought for a while and replied seriously: "If I were Liang Qiu, I would work hard to assist my father and king, make the country prosperous, strengthen the people, strengthen the army, live and work in peace and contentment, and will never engage in unsavory conspiracies and tricks to open up the territory and harm the people of other countries or relatives born from the same roots." ”

"If I were Liang Kun, I would also work hard to assist my father and king, make the country rich and the people strong, strengthen the army in peace and security, live and work in peace and contentment, and not give the surrounding countries the confidence and courage to invade."

Zheng Bang pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "Zhi'er, although you are clever, you are still too small and kind, I don't know the potential variables of this world, and I don't know how much selfishness and sinister there are in the hearts of people in this world. ”

"When you grow up, you will understand that having a plan and having the ability are two different things, many people and many things, the simpler it looks, the more complicated it looks in the bones, the more complex it looks like in the bones, the simpler it is in the bones."

"Uncle, then tell me, this time, could Liang Qiu deliberately cooperate with his father and the king, so he wrote a letter to Liang Kun and coaxed Liang Kun to come to Chu to find him, so as to arrange the dead soldiers, and secretly ambushed him?" Xiao Qiongzhi was inspired and asked curiously.

Zheng Bang shook his head: "No." I don't know about Liang Qiu, but Liang Qiu's father, Wang Liang Zhi, is my classmate and friend for many years, and I know his personality better. ”

"He will only do what he wants, he will not take advantage of it, and it is impossible for Liang Qi to pass the book and ask Liang Kun to travel when he sends a dead soldier to pretend to be a robber to deal with Liang Kun's private affairs."

"Then who do you think sent those dead soldiers?" Xiao Qiongzhi was even more curious.

"Of course, it is the one who can reap the benefits of the discord between Liang Qiu's father and Liang Kun's father. However, whether these people are dead or alive has nothing to do with us, you are still young, let's live the current life with peace of mind. Zheng Bang refused to say more.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to give up asking.

When passing by the township, Xiao Qiongzhi took a fifty taels of silver tickets and four hundred taels of silver tickets that Liang Kun gave her in the morning, and first went to the only money village in the township to exchange them for silver, and then asked Zheng Bang to accompany her to the rice shop and vegetable market to buy glutinous rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

She plans to take advantage of the good weather to make more brick cakes at home, so as not to run out of food in the winter.

After all, there are still two months left before the Chinese New Year.

The Kangcheng brick cakes made by Liu Wuxiu have all been given to Zhou Yuankang's two younger brothers, and now there are only city brick cakes made by Zhou Dayong at home, and there is nothing else to eat.

When she went to bed last night, she deliberately counted that the brick cakes in Kangcheng were less than five hundred.

She, Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dayong, Zheng Bang, Liu Wuxiu, Gouzi, Shishi, there are a total of seven people.

No matter how much you save food a day, a person, on average, eats one and a half a day and always asks for it.

Then, at the end of the day, the whole family has to consume at least ten pieces of city brick cakes.

It is equivalent to saying that the brick cake in Kang City can only be eaten for a maximum of fifty days.
