Chapter 99: The Secret of the Night

Have I seen it? Qian Qianqian carefully recalled the people she had seen since she entered the Cao Gang, most of them had not been seen very carefully, and they rarely intersected, and the only one was the one who was in charge.

"It's the guy who sent you here."

Shangguan Ling's words were really a bit unbelievable, Qian Qianqian thought about it carefully, and never found any clue that the little guy was actually the person behind the scenes, at least in his short time with him, he was almost like air.

Seeing Qian Qianqian's surprise, Shangguan Ling continued: "If I hadn't heard the conversation between that little guy and the family on the spot, I'm afraid it would have been hard to believe. ”

"In this way, I'm afraid that something big is going to happen to this gang, so let's leave as soon as possible. No, it's better to go now. Qian Qianqian reflexively wanted to go to the house to wake up Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye, but Shangguan Ling dodged and stopped her, "Girl, don't worry, I have already told the general about this Cao Gang, and he may have other instructions I don't know, I came not only to inform the situation, but also to ask the girl to think of a way, to stay for a few more days, and wait for the general's instructions before leaving." ”

"You said it lightly, the relationship with this Cao gang is also business, and now it has been negotiated, and there is no reason to stay anymore." Qian Qianqian didn't want to cause any more troubles because Shangguan Ling wanted to meddle in things, waiting here for Xiao Mohan's uncertain plan.

"I know that the girl is resourceful, there must be a way, please." Shangguan Ling bowed down, his head was about to be buried in his lap, "This matter is related to the general's life, please think about it again." ”

Speaking of Xiao Mohan's life, Qian Qianqian's figure froze, "Is there really no other way to find out the details of the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Shangguan Ling was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Xiao Guo's waterways extend in all directions, and many of them are also connected to neighboring countries, so it has always been difficult to manage, and the imperial court can only turn a blind eye to the existence of non-governmental organizations such as the Cao Gang. Say that the protective camp sits on the waterway of Xiao State? I may have thought so before I entered the protective camp, but I am afraid that I dare not say anything big at this moment. It was precisely because the other party knew this that he started from the waterway, and the Cao Gang was indeed the only way out. ”

Qian Qianqian sighed secretly, her eyebrows furrowed, "I understand, you can let me think of ideas." ”

"Girl, righteousness!" Shangguan Ling struck again, jumped reflexively, and disappeared into the twilight.

In the second half of the night, Qian Qianqian never fell asleep for this matter, she thought about it and never thought of any good way, and appeared in front of Mu Tianyue with a tired face the next day.

"How did you get that? Went ghost hunting in the middle of the night? ”

"yes." Qian Qianqian sighed, worried that the partition wall had ears, and wrote on the table with tea: "I saw a little ghost Shangguan Ling, who was an inner ghost who had mixed into the Cao Gang. ”

Mu Tianyue was slightly stunned, and waved at Zhao Ye and said, "Don't clean up, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave, right?" ”

Qian Qianqian nodded at Zhao Ye noncommittally, what she was going to say next was really complicated, if she had been relying on writing, she would have to die in a hurry, and now that time was pressing, she couldn't be allowed to use such a slow and leisurely method.

She walked up to Zhao Ye and said in a low voice: "You change into inconspicuous clothes, fool your face casually, go to the neighborhood to look, and if there is a suspicious person approaching, knock on the window three times with a stone." ”

Zhao Ye saw that she looked anxious, knowing that there must be something urgent this time, so he said "yes" and quickly changed his makeup and went out of the room.

There were only Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue left in the room, and she retold the conversation with Shangguan Ling yesterday to the other party, Mu Tianyue thought for a moment before speaking: "I guess Mo Han made up his mind to start with the Cao Gang from the beginning, otherwise he would not have sent Shangguan Ling." We're afraid we've fallen into his trap. ”

Snare? He Xiao Mohan also has no confidence in her, does he need to set a trap for such a life-and-death matter?

"Damn." Qian Qianqian smacked her tongue.

Mu Tianyue smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you misunderstood him, what he wants to trick is me, not you." ”

"You?" Qian Qianqian couldn't understand it again, looking at the relationship between the two should be good, and Mu Tianyue didn't look like a person who didn't pay attention to righteousness.

"It's a long story, it's all old grudges." Mu Tianyue wanted to be sloppy, but Qian Qianqian refused to let go, and asked expectantly, "Tell me about it?" ”

Mu Tianyue sighed, "When I was naΓ―ve as a child, I once set a trap for this general, who would have thought that he would be able to remember it until now." Actually, I can't remember exactly why, but I just know that there is such an old thing. ”

It will be reciprocated, but it seems to be his Xiao Mohan style.

"What do you think about staying in the Cao Gang?" Qian Qianqian took the initiative to steer the topic on the right track.

Mu Tianyue was silent for a moment and said: "It's not easy to say, this place of the Cao Gang looks scattered on the surface, but in fact, everyone has a fateful friendship, which is not easy to do." ”

Qian Qianqian's mind flashed with inspiration, and she smiled and said: "It used to be true, but now someone wants to dismantle the Cao Gang from within, and there must be an opportunity." ”

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so you still can't be careless." Mu Tianyue reminded.

Qian Qianqian nodded as she got up and walked out, "You let Zhao Ye pretend to be asleep, and I'll go around." "Waiting for the rabbit is not the answer.

After that, she walked around the Cao Gang, and there was no new progress except for reconfirming Shangguan Ling's speculation.

"Are you going to go home empty-handed?" Qian Qianqian muttered quietly, and unwillingly raised her leg and kicked the pebble under her feet, which rolled forward all the way, and her eyes followed all the way.

"There are more and more people in our gang, and now these vegetables can't feed so many people at all, so how about letting you go and talk to the gang leader about expanding the fields?"

"As soon as this gang leader comes back, he will hold a banquet, where can he take care of it?"

In the distance, Qian Qianqian heard the voice, but she didn't see anyone.

She thought "huh" in her heart, walked slowly over, and found two peasant women who were working in the corner of a large field.

"Who?" They also found Qian Qianqian, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

"I'm Boss Zhao's maid, and I got up in the morning to help the boss find some breakfast, but I accidentally got lost." She scratched her head and smiled harmlessly, "I wonder if the two aunts can show the way?" ”

The woman looked Qian Qianqian up and down, and casually pointed in a direction, "That's the back kitchen over there." ”

"Eh, okay." Qian Qianqian saluted, her eyes scanning the farmland behind the two, "How?" The Cao Gang also does farm work? ”

"Of course, the Cao Gang is no richer than the rich families who serve the girl, and they have a lot of money every day, and we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and it is a tradition left by our ancestors to eat water." Woman.

"That aunt is an old man of the Cao Gang, she must be highly respected and has a certain status in the hearts of the gang." Qian Qianqian began to pat herself on the back.

"No, no, don't dare to talk nonsense." Although the woman denied it, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, "You little girl saw the old woman and I farming here, and deliberately teased her." ”

"Nothing." Qian Qianqian stepped forward when she saw that there was a play, "Don't be presumptuous, without these fields, what will the Cao Gang family rely on to feed." ”

The woman smiled happily at Qian Qianqian, and the other said, "If these people can think like the girl, we won't be in such a dilemma." ”

The happy woman's face suddenly sank, "Okay, what are you doing with her?" ”

"How? You are allowed to be lazy and talk to her, and I am not allowed to do so? ”

"You!"

Qian Qianqian saw that they were inexplicably tense, guessing that there must be something related to the Cao Gang, but it was difficult to guess what it was from that few words.

"How did the two aunts get this, why are you angry?" Qian Qianqian made a round sound, "Isn't it ......" She deliberately didn't say a word, and a pair of eyes quickly observed the look of the woman in front of her.

The dodge and panic in their eyes proved that she might have found the direction to break through the secret of the Cao Gang by mistake, "Isn't this field not big enough, and there are not enough vegetables, and some of them can't be supplied?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Exactly, the girl's eyes are really vicious, and you can see it at a glance." ”

Qian Qianqian pretended not to see her secretly raise her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: "I was doing farm work at home before I entered the mansion to serve the young master, so I know a little bit." She glanced at the size of the field, "Actually, as long as it can increase the yield of crops, it is enough." ”

"Increasing production?" The woman's voice was high, obviously interested in what Qian Qianqian said, "Please also ask the girl to elaborate." ”

Qian Qianqian paused for a while, and told all the attempts and results she had made in Qianjia Village, naturally in order not to reveal her identity, she said it through the mouth of "the brother who works next door".

"It's really unheard of." The woman frowned, looking at Qian Qianqian's eyes with a little more excitement suppressed by doubt, "The girl really doesn't talk nonsense, making fun of us?" ”

Qian Qianqian's big eyes flashed for a long time and said: "Naturally not, if the aunts don't believe it, they can go to Qianjia Village to find out, and then they will naturally know the truth or falsehood." However, Qianjia Village is far away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with it once and again. Seeing that the two of them still hadn't completely unloaded their guards, she said lustfully: "Hey, I think it's Qianqian who is meddling, and the two aunts will naturally think of a way." Besides, the young master and I are about to leave the Cao Gang, and I have said so much to my aunt, and I can't really let you see the results. That's it, just like I never said it. With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait!" The woman stopped her, "Do you really know?" ”

Qian Qianqian paused for a while, nodded and said, "After all, if you go to that field for a few days, you will be somewhat." ”

The woman pondered for a long time, fighting in her heart, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Do you dare to go to the master to make a military order?" ”

Well, the fish took the bait.

Qian Qianqian's heart was happy, but she deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on her face, "But I'm just a little maid, and I have to agree to do anything." She was committed to saluting, "Thinking about it like this, it is indeed Qianqian's overstep, so she will go back and confess her guilt to the young master." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the two women to say anything, and went straight to the courtyard where he had settled.
