Chapter 261: Clearing Obstacles
Xiao Mohan's tone was gentle, but he said it categorically, he has always done things without leakage, step by step, and never caused trouble to his body, so it is the same now.
Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, since the situation in the frontier and the capital is delicate, if it were her, she would do the same, and it was important to stabilize the king's heart.
"General, it has been found out, the five spies of the Central State have become farmers, mixed in with these people, and there has been no movement in the past few days, as if they are looking for opportunities."
Yu Feng whispered to report, and in just a few days, he found out what others had been clueless, and he really deserved to be the person Xiao Mohan fancied.
"Deal with them secretly, and remember, don't alarm anyone."
Xiao Mohan opened his mouth lightly and commanded, just in this way, a few people in this village will be missing, and it will inevitably cause panic among the villagers.
"On the villagers' side, how to appease them?"
Yu Feng also understands the stakes in his heart, so it is a little difficult to grasp, it is not a trivial matter to have few people in this family, plus there are few people in Qianjia Village, and there are a few fewer suddenly, which can make people more suspicious.
"It's better to let Bai Shi and Zhao Ye put up a notice in the village, saying that they want to find some men to hunt in the mountains, pick those farmers, and then fake their deaths as injuries caused by wild beasts, so that those villagers should not be unforgiving."
Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart for a moment, and then slowly spoke, wild beasts are fierce and hurting people is a common thing, her father died in Huangquan because he went into the mountains to hunt, so it is too normal to die a few people in the mountains.
"It's okay to let those people die as a matter of course, and to hide people's eyes."
Yu Feng nodded, feeling that what Qian Qianqian said was extremely true, and Xiao Mohan had no objections.
Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan stayed in Qianjia Village for three days, and only left after everything was dealt with, Yufeng did things neatly and neatly, without revealing the slightest flaw, although the villagers who lost their relatives were sad, but they didn't suspect anything after all.
Xiao Mohan sent people to send a large sum of silver to those villagers, so that those villagers not only did not anger Qian Qianqian, but also were very grateful to Qian Qianqian, after all, that money was enough for them to eat for a lifetime.
Baishi also took the initiative to drive out the villagers who had previously killed Aunt Liu's family from Qianjia Village, at first the villagers had a tough attitude and refused to leave, but as soon as they heard that they were not leaving, they were sent to the official to deal with them strictly, and they couldn't stand the threat, so they obediently rolled up and left.
"Baishi, Zhao Ye, in a few days I may have to go to the capital with General Xiao, not in Lianzhou, the fields in this Qian family village will be handed over to you, if there is any accident, go to Lianzhou to find Boss Mu and Lord Zhou to discuss, don't act impulsively."
Qian Qianqian called Bai Shi and Zhao Ye over, and carefully instructed, now that the spies in Qianjia Village have been eliminated, and this place should be handed over to Bai Shi and Zhao Ye to take care of, there should be nothing wrong.
"Boss Qian, don't worry, Zhao Ye and I will take care of it, you can go with General Xiao, you don't have to worry about it."
Bai Shi glanced at Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan meaningfully, thinking that maybe this time he went back to the capital, Xiao Mohan would ask the emperor to give him a marriage, and when Qian Qianqian came back, it was likely that she would be the wife of the righteous general.
Qian Qianqian was a little embarrassed by such a look, lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, and her expression was still calm.
"That's good, but you also have to remember, don't treat these villagers badly, remember to send food to the Qian family in this village every month."
Qian Qianqian deliberately pretended not to know, and still instructed like this, the Qian family she was referring to was naturally the old man Qian and the old lady's family, she was gone, and she couldn't let the old man and the old lady go to the town to find trouble with the mother of Qian.
"You are so kind, so kind to these villagers, we still have some food in stock, and we will deliver it at the same time every month."
Bai Shi bowed slightly, these days, Qian Qianqian can be described as extremely kind to these villagers, if there is no Qian Qianqian, these villagers may still be the same as before, tired and tired all day long, and they can't even eat enough, unlike now, there is no shortage of food supply, and there is wine and meat on the table every meal.
It's just that even so, among these villagers, there are very few people who are really grateful to Qian Qianqian, and some are still lazy behind their backs, and Qian Qianqian is red-eyed.
"Hmm." Qian Qianqian responded lightly, and was about to turn around and leave with Xiao Mohan, when Aunt Liu and Liu Han hurried over.
"See General Xiao." Although Aunt Liu and Liu Han came in a hurry, they still didn't forget the etiquette, Xiao Mohan nodded lightly, and let them get up.
"Qianqian, when you go back to Qianjia Village, why don't you know us? It's been days, and we're only now knowing. ”
Aunt Liu came up and held Qian Qianqian's hand, these days she and Liu Han have stayed at home and rarely go out, so they are also aware of the external situation.
"Aunt Liu, when I came back this time, I didn't want to alarm anyone, and I didn't want you and Brother Liu Han to worry, but I didn't expect you to know."
Qian Qianqian was still a little surprised, she had been trying to keep a low profile in the past few days, but she didn't expect that this matter would still reach the ears of Aunt Liu and Liu Han.
"You girl, you are already my goddaughter, and you are still secretive about me and Liu Han, and you don't treat us as a family."
Aunt Liu was a little annoyed, lowered her head, and her face was ugly.
"Aunt Liu, look at what you said, I didn't mean that, it's just that I came back in a hurry, and I don't want you to be too tired."
Qian Qianqian frowned lightly, and a light smile appeared on her face, which seemed much more friendly.
"The villagers' affairs, have you done too ruthlessly, after all, they are all villagers, aren't they just a few livestock? If they are gone, they will be bought back, and there is no need to drive them out of the village. ”
Aunt Liu lowered her voice, her face was obviously a little unbearable, she had always been soft-hearted, and it was the same now.
Qian Qianqian knew this because she knew this, so she asked Baishi to hide this matter and not let Aunt Liu know, but she didn't expect that there were many people in this village, no matter how careful she was, she couldn't stop the gossip in this village.
"That's what they asked for, if I don't punish you severely, others will think that you are easy to bully, and after I leave, I will stumble more and more in secret, so I can only take this opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys, let others also see, and after I leave, you will be safe."
Qian Qianqian's expression suddenly became solemn, she raised her head, there was an indescribable coldness between her eyebrows, the baby fat on her face faded a little, her facial features grew, and she looked much more mature and calm.
"Well, why bother? They all live in a village. ”
Aunt Liu was still a little unbearable, but Qian Qianqian had already made up her mind, since this matter had been done, there was no room for maneuver.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, don't think about this, it's too hot outside, you better go back, General Xiao and I are leaving."
Qian Qianqian opened the conversation and made a "please" gesture, Aunt Liu and Liu Han looked at each other, and Liu Han handed over the things in his hand.
"What is this?" Qian Qianqian took it suspiciously, shook the jar in her hand, and looked at Liu Han.
"This is the rice wine I made at home a few days ago, and I have always wanted to send you some, but there are too many things at home, and it will be put on hold, and you just happened to be here today, so bring this back."
Aunt Liu explained with a smile, Qian Qianqian opened the jar a crack, and a sweet smell suddenly gushed out.
"Aunt Liu, you are too polite, you are so kind to me, you think about me in everything."
Qian Qianqian hugged the jar tightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face became more and more intense, and her smile was really like a flower, very pretty.
"You're my daughter, so I should think of you." Aunt Liu is very friendly, she has always treated Qian Qianqian as her own daughter, I thought that Liu Han could marry Qian Qianqian home, who knew that creation made people, Liu Han and Qian Qianqian did not have that fate.
Xiao Mohan watched from the side, but he didn't say anything for a long time, seeing that the hour was not early, so he opened his mouth to remind Qian Qianqian.
"Alright. It's time for us to go, and we'll have a chance to come back to see Aunt Liu another day. ”
Qian Qianqian also came back to her senses, nodded to Aunt Liu and Liu Han, and followed Xiao Mohan into the carriage.
At this time, Yufeng and his party did not appear, and it seems that they should hide in the shadows and not appear in front of these villagers.
"When are we leaving for the capital?"
Sitting in the carriage, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but ask, Xiao Mohan said that she was leaving, but she never said what day it was, which made her a little uneasy.
"Five days later, when your hot pot restaurant and pickle shop reopen, we'll leave."
Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, his voice was low, and he spoke lightly.
"You have come back from the frontier for so many days before going to the capital, will it attract the emperor's suspicion?"
Qian Qianqian has always been worried about Xiao Mohan's safety, although she doesn't care about Xiao Mohan on the surface, but in fact, she has already put Xiao Mohan in an important position in her heart.
"The matter of Lianzhou City is important, I have already handed the emperor an excerpt and explained the reason, even if the emperor has suspicions in his heart, he will not have a seizure for a while."
Xiao Mohan said extremely firmly, not in a hurry, although he didn't go to the capital, his eyes have been staring at the capital, so he knows everything about the situation in the capital.
"Will I be able to go home for the next five days? I went to the capital this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, I have a lot of things to explain to my mother and Xiaofen. ”
Qian Qianqian pondered for a moment, and her eyebrows tightened, after all, she still has such a big family to take care of, and she can't just leave casually, Qian Fen and the others may not be able to live without her.
"Okay, I will send someone to send your luggage back, and Xueyi will also be with you and protect you."
Xiao Mohan didn't stop it, he had let Qian Qianqian stay in the General's Mansion before, just to make it easier for Qian Qianqian to recuperate, and now that Qian Qianqian's injuries had healed, he should let her do what he wanted.
Qian Qianqian turned her face slightly sideways, opened the curtain of the carriage, and Xue Yi and Qin Li rode on the horses, following one after the other.
There are a lot of yellow and white wildflowers blooming on the roadside, dotted in the grass, adding a lot of life to the whole country road, and smelling carefully, there is a faint fragrance, which is very special, much better than those precious spices in the house.
