Chapter 418: The Lord of the Mountains and Forests
As soon as Gu Wen heard that it was Yuan Junfeng who found the medicine for him, he was immediately moved, "Where is Brother Yuan?" I went to thank him personally. ”
Xue Rou looked at Yuan Junfeng who was still closing his eyes and recuperating behind him very helplessly, "Don't do anything about it." We all know your gratitude, just have a good rest. ”
Gu Wen got up regardless of it, "Miss Xue, you don't know. When Brother Yuan left me last time, I also said some words that made him angry, but I didn't expect him to be willing to help me with all his heart regardless of his previous suspicions, how could I not be moved? ”
Xue Rou looked at him strangely, "What nonsense are you talking to him?" ”
Gu Wen sighed, "I saw that you were blue and black now, and you were very haggard, complaining that Brother Yuan was not good to you, and he left unhappily at that time." ”
There was a sudden coughing sound from behind, and Xue Rou's eyes were full of sympathy when she looked at Gu Wen.
This is the bad thing about talking a lot of nonsense, how embarrassing it is to say bad things about people and be caught red-handed.
Xue Rou gave Yuan Junfeng a relief, and Yuan Junfeng looked up at Gu Wen, "What did you say?" ”
Gu Wen got up from the bed and saw Yuan Junfeng's face a little pale, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xue Rou smiled, "Your brother Yuan went to find an antidote for you and was injured, and now he still has a fever, but he heard him speak ill of him." Are you angry or not? ”
Gu Wen's fair face suddenly turned red, didn't he think that the party did a good deed without leaving a name, so he didn't come. Who knows that the person concerned is just sitting in the back because he is sick.
Gu Wen had to say that he was very moved in his heart. Yuan Junfeng was injured in order to save him, and regardless of his previous suspicions, he said without hesitation when he was moved, "Brother Yuan, you are so good to me, I really can't repay you." What if we become brothers with different surnames? ”
When he said it, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bite off his tongue. What kind of majestic general is Yuan Junfeng, willing to form a brother with him? How does it sound so much like him?
Sure enough, Yuan Junfeng snorted coldly, "If you can't repay me, you will form a brother with me?" Why do I think this is not revenge? ”
Xue Rou smiled, seeing Gu Wen's embarrassment, and quickly reconciled from it, "Don't pay attention to him, this guy is used to it." When it is rare for anyone to swear to him as a brother. ”
Gu Wen said, "Brother Yuan is right, I didn't think it through, and he suffered a loss if he worshipped." ”
Xue Rou was helpless, "You don't have to belittle yourself so much. We can't be brothers, but we're good friends. ”
"By the way, joking with you, I almost forgot to get down to business. This time, Brother Yuan and I fell into the encirclement of Liu Xuan's guards, and in addition to getting the antidote, we also discovered a new mining cave! ”
Gu Wen was surprised, "Where is it?" ”
Xue Rou said, "In the mountains and forests west of the city, we were desperate to get in, but we didn't expect to find this mine inside, which is really surprising." ”
Gu Wen nodded, "I know about this." The one west of the city seems to have a lord, but it is not a wasteland. Wait until I go to find the owner of this place, if I can, I think we can cooperate and make an urn to catch turtles. ”
"After all, even if the silver mine is reported to the imperial court, it can be rewarded handsomely, and Liu Xuan cut it off so indifferently, I don't believe he is not angry."
Xue Rou said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you." Brother Yuan is now having a fever, I will take him home to recuperate first, your poison has just been unraveled, don't be too tired, pay attention to rest. ”
Gu Wen nodded, "I see." Only then did he look at Yuan Junfeng apologetically, "It's all my fault, let Brother Yuan be sick and still listen to me here to talk this nonsense." I can tell you when I'm done. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Rou said, "Don't you still treat us as friends?" Well, you have a lot of ideas, and these things are left to you. ”
After speaking, Xue Rou took Yuan Junfeng's arm, and the two of them went home, first threw Yuan Junfeng to take a hot bath, and added some medicinal materials to the water to help him ward off the cold.
After taking a bath, Yuan Junfeng was fished out, Xue Rou gave him medicine again, poured down a big bowl of ginger soup, and muttered in his mouth, "This is ginger soup, you have to drink it if it's unpleasant." If I don't drink it, I'm going to drink it directly. Think for yourself. ”
Yuan Junfeng said helplessly, "How do I feel like you're taking a child?" ”
Xue Rou smiled and touched his head, "Yes, Yuan Baobao, drink it obediently." Otherwise, my sister will beat you. ”
Yuan Junfeng was already exhausted, so he naturally didn't have the strength to tease Xue Rou anymore, and after taking the medicine, he fell asleep, Xue Rou was guarding him next to him, and the two of them slept soundly.
After the poison on Gu Wen's body was resolved, he began to investigate the mountain forest, and sure enough, he found that this mountain forest was not Liu Xuan's at all. Not to mention the fact that he made official silver privately, this can be regarded as illegal mining. After investigating, he found that the owner of the title deed was someone else, and it turned out to be an official in the court.
Gu Wen found Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng, but the time period of going was very bad, Xue Rou was giving Yuan Junfeng medicine, and it was slightly cool and soft on his skin and flesh, Yuan Junfeng was unbearable, and he was hugged into his arms when he took the medicine.
When Gu Wen came, it happened that Xue Rou was playing with him in Yuan Junfeng's arms, and the two of them were laughing and making trouble, and no one noticed Gu Wen who came in behind.
Gu Wen stood in place, a little embarrassed. However, he has been embarrassed too many times lately, and finally decides to stand still, thinking very naturally about whether to wait for them to finish the trouble, or to prove his existence out loud.
Fortunately, Xue Rou saw him when she turned her head, otherwise this guy didn't know how long he would have to stand behind.
Xue Rou jumped out of Yuan Junfeng's arms in embarrassment, "Why are you here?" ”
Gu Wen's mood was a little delicate, and he suddenly felt that he had been silent all the time, which was very bad. After all, he sighed, "I saw that Miss Xue and Brother Yuan were playing, so I didn't make a sound." ”
Yuan Junfeng still looked at him very unpleasantly, "Do you want to see the Living Spring Palace?" ”
Then he was crutched on the chest by Xue Rou and stopped talking.
Xue Rou asked, "Is it the result of the matter you said you wanted to investigate last time?" ”
Gu Wen nodded, "Yes." I checked, and that mountain forest is really not owned by Liu Xuan, but by an official who is also an official in the court. It's just that I heard that he bought this mountain forest to see that the feng shui is good, and he wants to be buried here after a hundred years, who ever wanted to be the first to climb the mountain, and has dug a hole in the belly of the mountain, if we go to him to cooperate, I believe he will be willing. ”
Xue Rou said, "You mean, let the official who owns the title deed come forward?" ”
Gu Wen nodded, "That's right, it's best to come and get the stolen goods by someone, the province is like last time, before he has time to catch him, he has already discovered and hidden these things." ”
"Have you contacted that official privately? What did he think? Yuan Junfeng said.
Gu Wen said, "I have contacted us, and this Wang Yuanwai is willing to meet with us and discuss specific matters." He didn't seem to know what was going on yet. ”
"Then let's go now." Xue Rou said.
In fact, Wang Yuanwai was also ready for their visit, but the housekeeper was a little worried, "Master, this... The three of them are all celebrities in front of the emperor, and they are all coming to our house all of a sudden, will there be anything bad? ”
Wang Yuanwai is in his early forties, his personality is very gentle, and he took a sip of tea, "With their identity, if they want to do anything to me, they don't need to come to the door in person, seeing them like this, they probably have a request for me." You don't have to worry. ”
Only then did the housekeeper put his mind at ease.
Wang Yuanwai said, "You go and prepare a table of good wine and food, and do your best to entertain you." ”
When the three of them came to the palace, they only felt strange, and from the moment they entered the door, they were greeted with a smile, and their attitude was very good. Xue Rou said, "We really didn't know this Wang Yuanwai before, right? Why is he so enthusiastic? ”
Gu Wen said, "This royal member is gentle and hospitable by nature, and he knows our identity, so it is not surprising that his attitude is also in line with his character." ”
Xue Rou relieved her mind at this time, and she didn't know that she thought there was some conspiracy inside.
The three of them explained their intentions, and Wang Yuanwai twisted a wisp of his beard and said, "You mean, someone found silver mines in the mountains that the old man bought?" And mining privately? ”
Gu Wen nodded, "Yes, Lord Wang." You also know the value of silver mines, and if someone secretly mines them, you should lose the most. We just happened to find out, and when we found out that it was your land, we came to tell you. ”
The king was a little angry, and anyone who knew that the land he bought had great wealth would be angry after it was looted by others.
"How so? Who dares to touch my land? That's where I used it to be a place to stay a hundred years later, and now that my wealth has been exposed, Feng Shui is not good. ”
Xue Rou said, "It was Liu Xuan, who was an official in the court, who was mining privately, and he probably didn't think that this land was ownery." Otherwise, we don't dare to be so arrogant, we came to you this time, and we also want to cooperate with you and arrest him. This Liu Xuan is not only illegally mined, but we also suspect that he made official silver privately, but there is no evidence. That's why I wanted to talk to you about it. ”
Wang Yuanwai pondered for a moment, after all, the mountains and forests were dug up, and the anger of losing the silver mine overrode other doubts, "Okay." What do you want me to do? ”
Gu Wen said, "You don't need to do anything else, as long as you release the news that you want to break ground in this mountain forest, I think he will come to the door by himself." After all, once you start working on your side, the silver mine on his side will not be able to hide, and he will definitely promise you some benefits. Just wait for him to take the bait. ”
Wang Yuanwai agreed, and he quickly released the news, saying that he wanted to transform the mountain forest he bought into a paradise and turn it into a beautiful landscape. In order to open the mountain, the Wang family will recruit workers from now on, including food, and ten copper plates a day, which has attracted a lot of strong laborers to sign up for a while.
