Chapter 29 (2nd Update)
Mei Shuyu didn't need Mei Shuyan to wait for two more days, and on the night of the same day, he arrived at Zhaoyuan County with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
He did not rashly bring troops into Zhaoyuan County, but handed over the soldiers and horses to Zhu Gong to take care of in the mountains and forests outside the city, and he wore night clothes, traveled lightly, brought a few secret guards, and touched into Zhaoyuan County.
When he entered the city, he ordered the guards to go and inquire about the news.
After a while, the secret guard came back with news that a caravan had lived in the county guard's office, and the leader of the team was an unmarried woman.
Mei Shuyu was immediately happy when he heard it, his eldest brother is naturally smart, don't look at him with a deceitful face, but his mind is not a white potato, and there are really some calculations and things in the city.
Such a method of dragging and blocking people is really something he can do seriously.
"Let's go, go to the post station to find him." Mei Shuyu said and went to the post station.
Mei Shuyan was tired of a busy day, and was thinking about the worst plan, the window opened silently, a gust of wind drifted in, he immediately pulled out his sword, and when he saw that it was Mei Shuyu, he immediately put away the sword, surprised, "Second brother, why are you here?" ”
If it weren't for Mei Shuyu's appearance as a hanger, he would have been accustomed to seeing that look since he was a child, and he really suspected that he was fake.
"Big brother is really vigilant." Mei Shuyu came to Mei Shuyan's approach, looked him up and down, and teased, "Big brother, you can, this way of dragging people is really special." ”
Mei Shuyan glared at him, "Isn't there nothing I can do?" When the words fell, he frowned, "Why are you here?" Is it feasible for you to leave Beijing? ”
"Okay, An Shuli asked me to come, he said that Ye Lanying is smart and cunning, and he is afraid that even if someone else comes to catch her, she will be escorted into Beijing halfway by her to escape, I will come in person, and I will always keep an eye on her. Let her put her wings in. ”
Mei Shuyan nodded, since An Shuli asked Mei Shuyu to come, he was naturally the most suitable.
So, he hurriedly told Mei Shuyu about Ye Lanying's customs clearance today, and he still wondered that those cloths were really cloths, and the twenty carts were all cloth, and there were no crossbow arrows wrapped in the cloth as His Royal Highness the Prince said.
"Could it be that the news has leaked? Was replaced by her before she came to Zhaoyuan County? Meshuyan guessed.
Mei Shuyu also felt strange, he thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, and said to Mei Shuyan, "The news of the prince's cousin is true, it is impossible to make mistakes, you have been cautious, it should not be you who leaked the news." Presumably Ye Lanying is cunning, such a smart and cunning person, must know that as long as you are in Zhaoyuan County for a day, you will strictly check the caravan for a day, don't you forget, why did the Lingnan Royal Mansion send someone to kill you earlier, is it not because you checked the caravan and the file, and found the head of the Lingnan Royal Mansion? Even if it is hidden, it is still detected by the Lingnan Palace? Now, Ye Lanying must have thought of a way to avoid your sight. ”
Mei Shuyan nodded, "I really can't imagine what she has come up with." There's no way to catch her. ”
Mei Shuyu suddenly said, "The so-called catching thieves and catching dirty, no matter what method she uses, send someone to keep an eye on it." ”
"I'm afraid of being noticed by her, this woman has martial arts, and it doesn't seem to be too bad." Mei Shuyan said, "No wonder you dare to walk the rivers and lakes alone." ”
Mei Shuyu narrowed her eyes, suddenly came up with a plan, and said to Mei Shuyan, "Big brother, the next city, leading to Lingnan, is it a hundred miles away from here?" ”
"Exactly, it's called Luwan City." Mei Shuyan looked at Mei Shuyu, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Mei Shuyu said, "I will lead the troops to Luwan City, and then, intercept her at the gate of Luwan City." If it is not bad as I expected, she probably used some method, from Zhaoyuan County to repair the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, so that those crossbow arrows smuggled across Zhaoyuan County, but such a smuggling method can't be used all the time, after all, twenty carts of things, it is troublesome to call, otherwise there are so many checkpoints along the way, can you use it? I think she just used it in Zhaoyuan County. Because, the person who sits in Zhaoyuan County is you, even if you don't have the order of the prince's cousin, you will be strictly investigated, and she is not afraid of other places. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Mei Shuyan didn't have any other good way, "You're right, catch the thief and catch the dirty, if you don't hold her smuggling weapons, this crime of beheading the Nine Clans, just by pretending to be an identity, it is not enough to deal with her, and naturally it will not involve the filth of the Lingnan Palace, and it is not tenable enough." ”
"Okay, if you agree, I'll go. With the token of the prince's cousin, the county guard of Luwan City did not dare not give me face and not cooperate, otherwise I would treat him as an accomplice and take him down. "Mei Shuyan has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and when Lu Zhiling returned to Beijing, he held more than one million soldiers, so he spoke very confidently and imposingly.
This momentum and murderous aura were trained on the real battlefield, and Mei Shuyan did not have them.
Only then did Mei Shuyan feel that his younger brother had grown up and was extraordinary. He nodded, "Okay, you go early!" Be careful. I won't do anything here, as long as I let her go in two days, she must have slackened a little, thinking that she has fooled me, and everything is fine, but as everyone knows, you are waiting for her in the next city. ”
"That's exactly what happened." Mei Shuyu was gearing up and looking forward to fighting Ye Lanying. In his opinion, he didn't treat this woman as a woman, but as an opponent.
At that moment, the two brothers made a plan, Mei Shuyu went out of the city and discussed with Zhu Gong, Zhu Gong also felt that Mei Shuyu's plan was feasible, so the two of them took 100,000 soldiers and horses to Luwan City in advance to wait for the rabbit.
Mei Shuyan's heart finally settled down and slept peacefully.
For two days, Ye Lanying took people to eat, drink and sleep well in the county guard's mansion, and saw that Mei Shuyan was not only handling official business every day, but also stared at the valuation compensation of her cloth seriously, she was speechless At the same time, she felt that this man also has thousands of forms, and this Mei Shuyan, isn't she a nerd who is stupid in reading?
Won't be flexible!
She had suspected earlier that he knew something, but now that she saw him, he was a tendon.
So, two days later, when the results of the valuation and compensation for the different degrees of damage to the twenty truckloads of cloth were calculated, Mei Shuyan simply took out the silver and handed it to Ye Lanying, "The girl has a good way to go, and her mind is safe." ”
Ye Lanying looked at him and smiled, "Your Excellency must train your subordinates well, don't be too rude to conduct a thorough investigation, next time I pass through Zhaoyuan County, I don't want to trouble my lord with eating and drinking for nothing." ”
"Don't worry, girl, this official will train you well." Mei Shuyan arched his hand.
Ye Lanying dropped the curtain of the car, gave the order to set off, and twenty truckloads of cloth and soup left Zhaoyuan County.
Mei Shuyan watched Ye Lanying's convoy leave, turned around and went back to the mansion, and continued to deal with official business when nothing had happened.
Half an hour later, the master saw that Mei Shuyan was busy and quietly withdrew from the study.
As soon as he left with his front foot and closed the door of the study, Mei Shuyan's face sank, it turned out that the inner ghost was really the person he brought out from home and trusted him to be his master.
This man was the son of the Mei Mansion, and the family sold themselves to the Mei Mansion, and he was quite talented, and when he was eleven years old, his grandfather transferred him to his side. I have been following him as a companion, and later when he came to Zhaoyuan County to take up his post, he followed him as a master.
As soon as all the documents and files have to pass through his hands, how much trust he has in him, I really didn't expect it!
It's so deep.
In order to find out this inner ghost, he didn't even dare to trust his own guards to send the letter easily.
Mei Shuyan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door silently, looked out, and saw that the master was whispering something to a little guy, and then, the little guy turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Mei Shuyan softly called out his secret guard, "Mozhu." ”
"Childe." Mozhu appeared in response.
"Follow that little guy named Keiko and see what he's going to do?" Mei Shuyan lowered his voice and ordered, "If there is a thread that connects with him, follow the thread, be careful, and don't be discovered." ”
"Yes." Mo Zhu answered.
Mo Zhu is the secret guard that Old Man Mei has chosen by his side since he was a child, the last time he returned to Beijing for the funeral, he was afraid that the file would be manipulated, so he didn't take him back to Beijing, and left him in Zhaoyuan County to take care of the file, if he took him last time, it wouldn't make him almost lose his life.
Now that the inner ghost has been found out to be the master, he can naturally use him with confidence.
Mo Zhu followed the little guy all the way out of the county guard's office, and went to the door of a small alley in an inconspicuous alley.
An old woman opened the door from the inside and looked at the little girl, "Are you ......?"
"The villain is here to pass the word and tell your master, the adult is not suspicious, and after she leaves, he will go back to the room to deal with official business. Just let your master walk with confidence. ”
The old woman nodded, said "thank you", and closed the courtyard door.
Mo Zhu saw that the little servant had returned to the county guard's office, and he quietly jumped into the courtyard.
