Chapter 106: Hesitation
Those people originally wanted to kill him, but coincidentally, Zhou Zhutou in the yamen was also present at that time, and Zhou Zhutou usually took a lot of care of him and admired him very much, and the relationship between the two was not bad.
Zhou Zhutou interceded for him and was taken back to the yamen by him.
It was from that time that Lu Xin was repeatedly pressured by Zhou Zhutou and the people above, and used his family's life as a threat to force him to comply.
Lu Xin was forced to join their organization, and later he learned that the reason why Zhou Zhutou didn't kill him was because someone had found them to cooperate, and this time the other party didn't come to it, if the negotiation was completed, it would be a big deal that would not worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes.
So at this time, they urgently need help, and Lu Xin is a very good talent.
After that, they began to make large quantities of Goshisan and sell them to the marginal towns of Cangnan and Northern Imperial Kingdoms.
As the demand grew, their scale also grew larger and larger, but because there was no longer enough to hoard five stone scatter on Zhuji Mountain, it happened that something happened to Xifeng Mountain in Zhangcheng at this time.
So the people behind it used the ghosts and gods again to stop the people from approaching Xifeng Mountain again.
The officials of Zhangcheng had also been involved in the Wushisan affair for a long time, and at this time, they fully cooperated and dug many caves on Xifeng Mountain to hoard goods.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Xifeng Mountain collapsed again two years later. In fact, before this, there were still many people who did not believe in evil and would still go to Xifeng Mountain, which greatly increased the risk of hoarding.
Therefore, the government used the second collapse of the mountain and dozens of lives to fabricate rumors that the mountain god had condemned the crime, and finally frightened the people in the city not to dare to go to Xifeng Mountain again.
But what people didn't expect was that after that, the people in the city moved many people one after another because they believed in the rumors that the mountain god had condemned the land.
More than half of Zhangcheng was vacant, which was just convenient for those private activities of the government, and gradually Zhangcheng became a big trading and hoarding place.
"I remember the people in Zhangcheng, they didn't have outsiders in and out at all, how did they trade there?" After hearing this, Lan Baobao looked at Zheng Huaiqi in confusion.
As a native of Zhangcheng and Zheng Huaichi, who was the head catcher of the Yamen, he showed a heavy thinking expression at this time.
He was silent for a long time before he finally looked up at everyone and said, "I didn't know that there was such a big secret hidden in Zhangcheng. At that time, almost everything in the yamen relied on me and my brothers to support me, and I didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to other things. ”
"Now after listening to Lu Darao's words, I slowly remembered that since the accident in Fengshan two years ago, I have never seen those adults again. I think they are hiding, secretly manipulating the transaction. ”
Zheng Huaiqi breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "A few people don't know, the city gate in the north of Zhangcheng is rarely in and out. Before the accident in Xifeng Mountain, there are still people in and out from there, since the accident in Xifeng Mountain, the people in the city moved away half of the size, and because the north is closest to Xifeng Mountain, so the people in the north of the city are almost all empty, and since then the north gate has rarely been opened again. ”
"Even if it is opened one day, no one will notice that it has long since become a deserted area."
Everyone understood that those people should have borrowed the North City to trade, because no one would notice it, and even if anyone came in or out, they would not be discovered.
After Wutong got the clues provided by Lu Xin and Zheng Huaiqi, he thoroughly investigated Quzhou City and Zhangcheng again.
Sure enough, Zheng Huaiqi was right, and there was indeed an abnormality in the north of Zhangcheng City.
The north of the city is full of empty houses, and the outermost ones have collapsed and abandoned, but some of the houses that are enclosed in the middle obviously do not look like they have been abandoned for two years, and the most important thing is that they found traces of five stones scattered inside.
According to the clues confessed by Lu Xin, it can be seen that outside Quzhou City, there are more powerful characters involved in the production of Wushisan.
But it is not clear whether it is a person or some people, it is too deeply hidden, and more clues are needed to make a judgment.
Lu Xin's condition gradually improved, Jin Lingluo and Feng Wei became more and more busy, and Lan Baobao still stayed at home, occasionally learning about the progress of some cases from their mouths.
However, it is only a very part, and I know that now in addition to the Yamen of Guangling City participating in the investigation, even the Jiedu envoy has personally brought people over to assist.
On this day, the fruits and vegetables at home have been eaten, Zheng Huaiqi is listed as a son, and Blue Baby takes it out to purchase.
I came to the vegetable market with a familiar way, picked and chose in it, and it took half an hour to buy the things on the list.
Before going out, Zheng Huaiqi gave her a list, which was left by the doctor.
Lu Xin's condition gradually improved, and he adjusted his prescription every two days. After leaving the vegetable market, Lan Bao found a nearby herb shop.
The pharmacy guy took the prescription in her hand, looked at it carefully, and then told her to wait for a while.
Lan Baobao was holding a vegetable basket in her hand, looking left and right in the medicine shop, there were still many people who came here to grab medicine, she was afraid that she would block the counter and affect others, so she took a few steps back.
She kept an eye on the situation behind her as she stepped back, only flashing her mind slightly, and then she didn't want to bump into someone.
"Sorry......" Blue Baby quickly turned around to apologize, but before she could speak, she felt a hand touch her belt, she froze for a moment, and the hand quickly withdrew.
Looking up, the person she hit was a young man, still wearing an official uniform.
It looks exactly the same as the fast catching suit that Zheng Huaiqi wore when he was in Zhangcheng, so I think this person should be the head catcher in Guangling City.
Her heart sank, and her emotions became very complicated.
The other party looked at her with a negative hand, smiled slightly, and advised: "Be careful when walking." ”
After speaking, he walked past her to the counter, handed a prescription to the guy inside, and then stood aside and waited silently.
Those who were around him would salute politely when they saw him.
Blue Baby frowned and touched the place where she had been touched just now, and before she could think about it, a guy asked her to go over and get the medicine.
When she left the herb shop, the head catcher was still standing by and waiting, and the other party noticed her eyes, and turned his head to smile at her.
Baby Blue was startled and quickly left the herb shop.
On the way back, she thought of the smiling face of the man, the expression on his face was smiling, but his eyes were strangely cold, and there seemed to be a hint of warning.
Was he hinting at her something?
But she didn't know him!
Walking to the place, she touched her waist a few more times, and suddenly came across something, and she didn't need to look at it to know that it was a folded piece of paper.
Suddenly startled, she flicked her wrist and walked quickly into the depths of the alley.
When she returned home, after handing over the purchased things to Zheng Huaichi, she found a reason to return to the wing.
She sat inside for a moment, making sure that there was no one in the yard before taking something out of her belt.
Unfold the piece of paper, and it was a letter.
The handwriting on the letter was very familiar to her, and it was written by her father-in-law who was far away in the imperial palace in the capital.
The letter from the father-in-law at this time, the sender of the letter was the head catcher in the yamen, and the very threatening smile on the other party's face, which suddenly made the blue baby have a very bad blessing
Blue Baby quickly read the content of the letter in a panic, and sure enough, this time the father-in-law was not afraid of being discovered, and the content of the letter was not much but very clear.
First, ask her about the progress of her relationship with King Ling, and the two-month deadline is coming soon.
Second, when asked what had happened to her since she left Beijing, as well as the situation on her side, she was asked to reply to her truthfully.
Since the father-in-law can instruct the people in the official office of Guangling City to deliver letters to him, does it mean that the father-in-law also has some connections with the officials on the side of Yang Wu?
I remember that before she left Beijing, her father-in-law told her to report the situation at any time.
It's just that too many things have happened along the way, and she has been following King Ling all the time, and she has never found a chance to send a letter. Or maybe she's been avoiding it.
Can ...... now There is no way to avoid it.
When she was in the herb shop, the head-catcher was warning her that if she didn't reply to the letter, she was afraid that her father-in-law would take action.
The father-in-law must also know her weakness, as long as Yu'er is in the palace, she will definitely be jealous, and she will naturally obey.
This matter can't be avoided, Lan Baobao resigned himself to burning the letter in his hand, and while King Ling and Feng Wei hadn't come back yet, he quickly wrote a reply letter, folded it and hid it in the clothes on his chest.
After nightfall, the air becomes more and more muggy, there is no wind, and the air becomes very sticky.
It didn't take long for a drizzle to start falling outside.
Lan Baobao put away the clothes drying in the yard, thinking that King Ling and Feng Wei were sitting in a carriage when they went out recently, and they should not get rained.
After folding her clothes, she went to the hall.
Zheng Huaiqi sat at the table and drank water, and when he saw her come in, he got up and clasped his fists and saluted.
Blue Baby nodded on his knees and handed over the laundry he was holding.
Zheng Huaiqi hurriedly took it, thanked him, looked outside and asked, "Brother Feng, why haven't they come back yet?" Wasn't the business about to be negotiated yesterday? ”
Blue Baby replied politely: "He never told me about the business, and I don't know much about it. I guess I'm being delayed by something. ”
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lan Baobao went to check on Lu Xin's situation.
The other party fell asleep after taking the medicine, and the blue baby saw that his complexion seemed to be much better than the previous two, thinking that he would not need to take the medicine for a few more days.
At this time, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and the blue baby hurriedly walked out of the house, and saw Feng Wei leading the carriage into the yard.
She ran over to lock the courtyard door, and when she went around to the front, King Ling had already stepped out of the carriage, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
It was drizzling outside, and the blue baby ran out and got wet for a while.
Jin Lingluo looked at her and frowned, and walked up to her, the oil-paper umbrella tilted towards her.
Blue Baby's heart warmed and said, "Why did you come back so late and have you had dinner?" ”
Feng Wei had already run into the house, leaving only Jin Lingluo shaking his head at her.
Zheng Huaiqi had already prepared the meal and put it on the stove to heat it.
When Baby Blue was about to invite King Ling to the hall for dinner, he suddenly saw the other party walking in the direction of the wing.
The other party's pace was very slow, as if he was worried about her, and the blue baby hurriedly followed.
The two quickly walked to the door of the wing, and Jin Lingluo pushed open the door and said, "Go in and change clothes." ”
Blue Baby looked at each other with a hesitant face.
Jin Lingluo directly nudged her, and then walked towards the hall with an umbrella.
The blue baby was forced to walk into the wing, and when he looked back and saw that the other party had left, his heart was even more moved.
She closed the door and quickly changed into clean clothes, but luckily the letter didn't get wet, and she put it back in her arms.
Regarding the relationship between her and King Ling, she felt that it was now in an ambiguous stage.
But her father-in-law definitely couldn't accept this reply, so she directly admitted in the letter that she and King Ling were already in the same bed.
In fact, she is not lying, she and His Royal Highness have indeed shared the same bed, but their sharing of the same bed must be different from what the stepfather understands.
So just let the father-in-law misunderstand.
