Chapter Forty-Eight: Mountain Rain is Coming

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just bright, and a horse galloped into Qingfeng County, and the people on horseback were dressed in black and looked solemn.

At this time, there were a few people who got up early to set up stalls on the street, and when they saw the horses galloping and hurriedly hid on the side of the road, they then stretched out their heads to look, and only saw a ride in the dust. It's like a nightmare in a hurry, a nightmare in a hurry.

The horses went straight into the yamen, and the officials were so shocked that they almost drew their swords. Fortunately, they recognized the person who cameβ€”Wen Yan.

"Where is my lord now, I have something important to report." Wen Yan turned over and dismounted, his gaze skimming over everyone.

"In the study." Xie Yikou was coming out to see the situation, and when he heard this, he pointed in the direction of the study.

"When I watched it yesterday, I didn't think it was so damaged." Shui Yanwei casually picked up a county chronicle that was bitten beyond recognition by rats, which was revised sixty years ago, and I don't know how well the county chronicle was preserved at the old man Wei.

At this time, Dongxue took two officials carrying large and small boxes to the outside of the study, and she said, "My lord, the gifts have been prepared." ”

Wen Zhesang folded the broken county records into a stack and put them in the box, and when he was about to speak, Wen Yan's figure appeared at the door like a black wind, and he said anxiously: "My lord, my subordinates have something important to report!" ”

A moment later, Dong Xue took the four officials and the two masters and servants of Shui Yanwei out of the door and went straight to the Wei Mansion.

Xie Yikou watched from a distance as a few people left the yamen, but Wen Yan never left the study. It happened that Jiang Weixi walked over with tea, Xie Yikou grabbed his collar with one hand, and raised his other hand slightly, and the table with the tea set changed hands in an instant.

Jiang Weixi was not angry when he touched his collar, and asked him with a smile: "Oh, big brother, why are you here!" Do you want to read the book that I recommended to you last time? It's not me who blows, I've worked so hard to get it, big brother has time to take a look, maybe ......" He Nunu glanced at the closed door of the study, and let out a series of indefatigable but obviously teasing smirks.

"Get out." Xie Yikou only had the white eyes to give it to him, "Have you talked to Shui Yanwei in the past two months?" ”

Jiang Weixi, who was fatally killed by a blow, covered his chest with a face full of grief and indignation, and was still struggling to justify himself: "I just don't want to cause trouble to the water girl, do you understand?" ”

In this regard, Xie Yikou left a sneer, and then Shi Shiran knocked on the door of the study.

It was Wen Yan who opened the door, and he stretched out his hand to take the food table, without the intention of putting people in. But who knew that Xie Yikou didn't look at him at all, and slid into the study like a loach, he saw Wen Zhesang's expression was natural, and he didn't look like he was troubled by something.

But Wen Yan came back with an anxious face, obviously something big had happened, looking like this, they shouldn't have talked about business yet.

"My lord, drink tea." Xie Yikou made tea and stood quietly behind Wen Zhesang, relying on the intention of not leaving.

Wen Yan closed the door smoothly and looked at Xie Yikou with his eyebrows: "My lord, this person ......"

Wen Zhesang waved his hand so that he didn't have to care, "You have been away for a few months, you should have sent a letter a month, but there was no news last month, could it be that Shang Nanyun had an accident?" ”

Wen Yan was silent for a while, glanced at Xie Yikou, and saw that Wen Zhesang really didn't shy away from it, so he could only let go of this stubble, "The subordinate was ordered by the adult, and quietly followed Shang Nanyun to Jiangnan along the way. She never received news from the Shang family, and when she wanted to go back to Qingfeng County, the friend dragged her down for some reason. But she didn't expect her to leave Jiangnan quietly and plan to go back alone. Just a month ago, she met a mountain bandit, and her subordinates wanted to save her, but those mountain bandits were numerous, and they fled overnight after capturing Shang Nanyun, and their subordinates followed them for a few days, and found that the direction they were traveling was the area of Qingfeng County. It's just that along the way, the green mountains are vast, and they also pass through several small counties, and their subordinates have lost their traces. ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Wen Zhesang pressed his eyebrows lightly, "When the Shang family was thoroughly investigated, the Shang family's father and son took care of everything, and later it was found out that Shang Nanyun really didn't know what they were doing, so the saint let her live." Originally, if she didn't come back, at least she could live her life safely. ”

For Shang Nanyun, Wen Zhesang didn't know what she should think, on the one hand, Shang Nanyun did not participate in the Shang family's evil, but on the other hand, she didn't like it and couldn't get used to it, and she made many people miserable - Qiu He was one of them. Even she may have human life on her hands. And her self-respecting temperament, once she comes back and knows the ending of the Shang family, it will inevitably cause chaos.

Suddenly thinking of something, Wen Zhesang raised his head and asked, "The mountain bandits arrested Shang Nanyun, so is she still alive?" ”

Wen Yan said suspiciously: "The last time my subordinates found the traces of mountain bandits was half a month ago, Shang Nanyun was also with them, and I think he is still alive now." And the subordinates found that Shang Nanyun seemed to cooperate with the mountain bandits, and she had some status among the mountain bandits. ”

This is indeed bad news.

Wen Zhesang has a headache, Xia Qingshan's gang of mountain bandits have only settled down for less than half a year, and now there is another gang of mountain bandits, is this Qingfeng County a fragrant bun? Or is it the way of the world today......

It shouldn't be. Although the Holy One has only been on the throne for five years, during these five years, he has been in peace and security, and the dynasty should be more and more peaceful, not so turbulent.

You must know that Qingfeng County is not a rich and expensive place, not to mention that it has just been exploited by Wang De and the mountain bandits in Eagle Village for three years, and there is nothing worth the mountain bandits rushing to first.

Just when she was puzzled, Xie Yikou said another piece of news, "Yesterday, when my subordinates went to Shantang, Mr. Baili told his subordinates that there was a group of mountain bandits outside Qingfeng County, and those people had looked for Mr. Baili's brothers, and it sounded like they wanted to rebel. I just don't know if what Mr. Baili said and what Brother Wen Yan said are a group of people. ”

"Where did you see those bandits half a month ago?" Wen Zhesang asked Wen Yan.

Wen Yan: "It's Jiahe County, half a month is enough time for them to take the mountain road and trail to Qingfeng County." ”

"That's the problem." "But it seems certain that they are the same group. There are many deep mountains and old forests outside the county, and it is difficult for them to find them once they hide. ”

Xie Yikou hurriedly said, "Why don't you bring a few brothers to investigate?" ”

Wen Zhesang shook his head: "The people in the yamen are ordinary people, they didn't dare to enter the mountain at all in the Eagle Village Pangeng Mountain in the past, and they should have forgotten how to walk the mountain road over the years." ”

"Isn't there still Mr. Baili?" Xie Yikou grinned, and when he looked down, he could see the top of Wen Zhesang's hair, but Wen Zhesang couldn't see him behind him. "Mr. Baili's brothers are all relying on the mountains to eat, and they must be familiar with mountain roads, even if they can't find the lair of those people when they take a few people, they can see it with their own eyes and make plans in advance."

There's no way around it.

Wen Zhesang's eyes moved slightly, "Since those mountain bandits have already looked for Mr. Baili's brothers, it means that some of them are mixed in the county, they are in the dark, we are in the light, and everything is careful." As for Mr. Baili's side...... You come with me to the Church of Kindness. ”

She was about to leave, and suddenly stopped and looked at Wen Yan, "You run all the way, go rest first." ”

Wen Yan nodded silently, and then looked at Xie Yikou, who consciously followed Wen Zhisang, Xie Yikou felt something, and glanced back at him. That glance was full of threat.

Poor Wen Yan is a dull character, and he is silent when provoked. just pursed his lips, secretly thinking about writing to tell the master about the eldest lady being coveted by this kid.

Wen Yan pestle for a while, and he felt tired after the matter was explained. Out of the study, I met Wen Zhi head-on, both of them were saw-mouthed gourds, but at this time, the two began to reminisce after taking a look. Finally, the two looked at each other.

"Do you want to make a report?" Gentleness.

"Hit." Warm.

So the two flying pigeon letters flew back to Shangjing, and when Lord Wen received the letter a month later and was about to send someone to solve Xie Yikou, things had completely changed......

In the hall, the golden rice is basking in the sunlight on the swept flat ground, and the rice grains are full and swollen as if they have absorbed water. Dogs occasionally flip them over so that they get more evenly tanned.

Wen Zhesang came by chance today, and all the fields belonging to Shantang in the northern suburbs have been harvested. Several women in the good hall cooked soup to clear the heat and relieve the heat, and served it out in bowls.

"Your Excellency is here!"

"Hello adults!"

"I've seen my lord!"

With the joy of the autumn harvest, the greetings and heartfelt smiles in the Shantang almost made Wen Zhesang forget that Qingfeng County was now coveted by a group of mountain bandits. Another mountain rain is coming.

Baili Song looked at Xie Yikou and was about to ask for an understanding, but there were too many people at this time, and it was not the time to speak. Fortunately, Wen Zhesang didn't forget his business, and after finding Baili Song, he entered the house with him.

A few more people came in one after another, all of them had just returned from the northern suburbs, sweating profusely. It's not like a fierce mountain bandit, just like an ordinary farmer who works hard.

The dog lady brought in the summer soup, and she already knew what Baili Song and these people were doing before. At first, she was afraid, but after all, it was arranged by adults, and she was embarrassed to complain. Later, she found out that these people really wanted to change their ways, whether it was making tables, chairs and benches for the children in the school, or going out early and returning late to work in the northern suburbs.

She's a person who understands. She also heard that Mr. Baili said that the people left behind had not done anything bad, and those bad things that were treacherous and evil had long been solved by their leader.

As for how it was solved, the dog mother also asked, and then learned......

"It's nothing, it's just putting them all in prison. It's just that it's not here, it's a big place, and the cell is solid, so I'm not afraid that they will run out. ”

The dog remembered that Mr. Baili first scared her, saying "of course you will kill all of them", and only told the truth after seeing her uneasy.

The dog lady sighed in her heart, and hesitated to speak: "My lord, this year's harvest is so good, thanks to Mr. Baili and a few brothers. ”

She didn't dare to say anything too arrogant, so she walked out with a smile on her face, and closed the door by the way.
