"Nonsense, who told you that those mountain bandits wouldn't run to the side of the official road to kill people? Those mountain bandits are all extremely vicious people, and they have been arrested by the government, and they have a grudge against the government in their hearts, even if they run to the official road to kill people, it is not an unusual thing. And so many people in the house are walking on the official road, it is too eye-catching, and it will not work after all. ”

Lin Shi looked at Zijuan with a solemn face on the side and said lightly.

Zijuan was speechless on the spot when Lin said this, not knowing what to say, and stood in place for a while.

In fact, she also felt that Feng Lao'an's move was too risky, the mountain bandits had already slaughtered a village, and there was a tendency to kill into the city immediately, what if they went out of the city at the moment and happened to meet them? The house is full of weak maids, and the little maid in the nursing home is not a first-class good hand, once it is killed, it will be a dead end.

If you continue to stay in the mansion, even if those mountain bandits really come into the city, they won't be killed in Wutong Lane for a while.

The gate of the outer courtyard and the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard have been reinforced, and Feng Lao'an has invited a few martial artists to come back two days ago, so that those martial artists can lead the guards to guard the courtyard in the front yard, and then let a few strong mothers-in-law on the stove lead people to patrol the backyard, at least for four or five days at night, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Lin looked at Zijuan and was silent for a long time, thinking in his heart that she should have an idea. If Zijuan is a smart person, she should know that it is too risky to leave the house at this moment, and she accidentally met those mountain bandits.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to stay in the house, so that people can firmly watch the courtyard, and those mountain bandits will not be able to attack easily.

Thinking like this, Lin said: "Miss Zijuan, when you go back to your old lady, you say that I don't want to go anywhere, it's too risky to leave the house at this moment, and if you're not careful, you'll end up in a different place." You go back and talk to her about the relationship, I think she's not old enough to be fooled to that point. ”

As soon as Lin's words fell, Zijuan went back to her life.

Looking at the back of Zijuan leaving in a hurry, Mama Liang asked someone to turn off the light under the porch, walked to Lin's side, her face was a little worried, and said softly.

"Old lady, Punpu is restless now, if you continue to stay here, the old slave will not be at ease after all. Do you want the old slave to write a letter back to Chengjiang and give it to the second master, so that the second master can send a family to pick us up. ”

"It's okay, Haruhei. You've been with me for all these years, and you haven't experienced any big winds and waves, but you're just a little mountain bandit, so why bother so much. Chengjiang Mansion is not far from Pengpu Township, presumably someone has already reported to Chengjiang, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service, and someone will always seize this opportunity. Lin said, with a breezy look on his face.

Mama Liang was puzzled, and asked again, "What the old lady means is that the Zuo County Order has already sent the news to Chengjiang, but the person is still standing still, just waiting for those mountain bandits to rush into the city, and the Zuo County Order will attack inside and outside to exterminate those mountain bandits in Pengpu Township." ”

"Tiger Wolf Mountain is easy to know and difficult to attack, and those mountain bandits will go down the mountain every three years to loot once, the previous Chengjiang prefect and Pengpu County orders have always been wrong, unwilling to cooperate, resulting in the arrogance of the mountain bandits on Tiger Wolf Mountain for so many years. Now Wu Youyi, the prefect of Chengjiang, and Zuochang, the commander of Pengpu County, are classmates and are on the list together, but the Wu family dredged up the relationship and luckily let Wu Youyi sit in the position of the prefect. ”

When the mountain bandits slaughtered that village, the Lin family sent people to secretly investigate, and the people of the government were obviously stationed on the periphery, but they were reluctant to do it, in order to let the mountain bandits slaughter the people of that village cleanly, so that their reputation for being extremely vicious would be more prosperous, and when the time came, it would spread to the capital, and the emperor personally sent people down to suppress it.

If Wu Youyi and Zuo Chang exterminated the mountain bandits in Pengpu at this time, this would be a great achievement, and the promotion of the two would be just around the corner. After all, Wu Youyi has been sitting in the position of the prefect of Chengjiang for five years, and now he is looking forward to being promoted to the third rank and transferred to Beijing.

That Zuochang, recommended by Wu Youyi, naturally sat in the position of the prefect of Chengjiang.

The Lin family has long seen through these twists and turns in the officialdom, and the reason why the mountain bandits on Tiger Wolf Mountain have been silent for so long in the past two years is that she thinks that she should have nothing to do with Zuo Chang.

In the east chamber, Gu Yutang asked people to hang lanterns for lighting under the corridor, and asked Ah Hua to take two oil lamps out, she raised her head and looked at the west chamber outside, while embroidering the handkerchief she was preparing for Jiang Zhiming in her hand, which was a pattern of a cat fluttering butterflies, she saw that Jiang Zhiming liked cats and often held cats, so she thought of embroidering such a handkerchief for him.

The west chamber outside was still dark, Ah Hua came out of the pantry with a cup of sand date tea, put it on the small table on the side, looked at Gu Yutang still embroidering the handkerchief, pulled the corner of Da Han's clothes, dragged Da Han aside, and said.

"Da Han, what time is it, the girl is still embroidering? You don't persuade the girl, if the girl is blind, you and I will be the ones who will suffer. ”

Gu Yutang also heard Ah Hua's voice reprimanding Da Han, so he said: "I want to embroider it myself, it's not about Da Han." She was worried that I would burn my eyes, so not only did she have the lanterns hung up, but she also lit a few oil lamps, so you don't talk about her. ”

Hearing Gu Yutang say this, Ah Hua didn't want to talk about Da Han anymore, but for the sake of her eyes, she had to persuade again. "Girl, the husband outside has been beaten and left, it's time to arrive soon, the Jiang family's son hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. Ah Hua helped the girl in to rest first! ”

As soon as Ah Hua's words fell, Jiang Zhiming stuffed the bird slave Aluo in Gu Yutang's courtyard and ran over, holding the white cat sent by Jiang Zhiming in his arms, and said slowly: "Girl, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has rested at the inn outside the city, and His Royal Highness the Prince is afraid that you will be worried, so let the slave come back and talk to you, so that you can rest assured." ”

Hearing Ah Luo say that the son of the Jiang family came back, Ah Hua was a little unconvinced, and asked again, "Ah Luo, when will the son of the Jiang family come back, why didn't he come to the city when he came back, didn't something happen?"

Being asked by Ah Hua like this, Ah Luo's face changed slightly, and his eyes blinked slightly, obviously he was hiding something from Gu Yutang and Ah Hua, but Jiang Zhiming had instructed her not to tell others about his injury when he went out of the city, especially Gu Yutang.

She has been serving in Dongxiang for these days, and she knows that the fourth girl has always been a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, and on the surface, she is indifferent to her son-in-law, but in fact, she remembers it very much.

These days when her son-in-law goes out to the Buddhist temple, she will ask Ah Hua to ask the stone about her son-in-law's current situation every day, if she doesn't hear the news about her son-in-law that day, she can worry about it for a day.

Ah Luo thought about it again and again, and didn't tell the fourth girl the news that his son-in-law was injured.

"Girl, on the way back to the city, His Royal Highness met an old friend, and the two had not seen each other for a long time, so the prince prepared a table of wine at the inn outside the city to entertain him. Childe thought that the girl was thinking about him, so he asked me to come back first and report the girl's safety, so that the girl could rest assured. ”

Gu Yutang always felt a little strange when he listened to A Luo's words.

She said that Jiang Zhiming's bastard boy met an old friend and went to an inn outside the city with others. But as far as she knows, there are no inns in the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, let alone inns, even the vendors who sell breakfast, and no one goes there to set up stalls.

However, there is a tavern that has been abandoned for many years a mile away from the East City Gate, could it be that Jiang Zhiming's stupid boy is where he is now?

Gu Yutang didn't believe what A Luo said, and asked again, "A Luo, you said that your son-in-law met an old friend and booked a table at the inn outside the city, so who is the surname of the old friend, and where is the inn?"

Ah Luo looked at Gu Yutang with a look of disbelief, and he was about to get to the bottom of it, thinking that his words had already made her see the clues. But her son-in-law didn't allow herself to tell others about her injury, especially the fourth girl of the Gu family, she could only tell another lie.

"Girl, my son-in-law's old friend is the old friend of the Hou Mansion, and I don't know if I want to open the name, the son now lives in the inn outside the East City Gate, and the son said that the East City Gate is close to the Gu Mansion, so I chose there."

"Arrow, you're lying! There is only one tavern outside the East City Gate that has been abandoned for many years, where is the inn? Where the hell is Jiang Zhiming? You make it clear to me, if you lie again, I'll let you out! ”

Gu Yutang looked at Ah Luo and looked like he was still going to lie to her, and the anger in his heart gradually rose, and he looked at Ah Luo in front of him with angry eyes.
