Chapter 188: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Very early the next day, An Sheng got up quietly, after a simple wash, he groaned slightly, brought two more medicinal powders on his body, was prepared, and then immediately left the summer mansion.
As soon as the door was opened, Leng Nanxian's carriage was waiting outside the gate, with the humidity of the early morning frost. The horses pulling the cart tread impatiently.
I don't know how long I've been waiting.
An Sheng was a little surprised, hesitated and walked over, Leng Nanxian lifted the curtain, and poked out a slightly tired face, frowning slightly: "Get in the car." ”
"I ......" An Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to speak.
"Get in the car." Leng Nanxian's face tensed and repeated again.
An Sheng obediently went up, curled up in the corner like the day he first saw him, his head lowered, not daring to look at Leng Nanxian.
Leng Nanxian instructed Leng Bo: "Go to Cangli." ”
Then the curtain was lowered.
An Sheng raised his head in more and more surprise: "Master, you know everything?" ”
Leng Nanxian snorted coldly: "Who do you want to hide from your little care?" ”
An Sheng whispered, "I just want to inquire and see if there are any new clues." ”
"Do you want to go to Yu Jingyun and sneak into the warehouse to see if anyone can help your father testify?" Leng Nanxian mercilessly exposed An Sheng's careful thoughts.
An Sheng nodded: "I already thought about it yesterday, if things are really as my father said, then the grain and rice in the warehouse have already been in deficit, then, what was burned by the fire that day?" There will definitely be clues.
Moreover, they transferred grain and rice in advance, even if they did it thoroughly, there would be flaws. It is impossible for so much grain to go missing, and whether it is transferred or transported, it requires great manpower and material resources.
They want to cover the sky with one hand, but I believe that the soldiers will not all be in the same boat, and there will certainly be people among them who are not afraid of power, like my father, if there is any evidence left?
I thought I was lucky, and if I could find any clues, it would be better than being like a headless fly like me now. ”
"Since this matter is premeditated, then there must be someone in the warehouse who is responsible for the aftermath and covers up the evidence of the crime. They will never let people in to investigate and collect evidence easily, let alone let you have access to those soldiers. This matter is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will provoke death. So, you won't let me come over, and you want to go to investigate secretly alone. ”
An Sheng lowered his head: "I have no other way. Finally, there was hope, as long as it could alleviate the father's guilt a little, the risk was worth it. It's just that, Master, you shouldn't accompany me to the danger. ”
"Should that be my business, since ancient times, only the master is in charge of the apprentice, and there is no reason for the apprentice to be in charge of the master."
An Sheng was silent, full of gratitude or gratitude.
The vicinity of Cangqiao is still heavily guarded, and it is surrounded by water. The inside is being cleaned day and night in a hurry. It's not easy to get in.
The soldier said that Yu Jingyun had already left the warehouse with his troops and was not here.
The two pounced, and An Sheng was reluctant to leave and didn't want to leave. She was at a time when she was slim, and she didn't want to let go of any hope.
Leng Nanxian tugged her hand: "Follow me." ”
An Sheng asked in surprise, "Where to go?" ”
Leng Nanxian said in a low voice: "Come with me and you'll know." ”
An Sheng didn't speak, followed Leng Nanxian around the canglia, and went straight to the south of the city.
There, the ashes cleared by the soldiers, mixed with the rain and cement, were all poured into a mountain col.
The warehouse needs to be rebuilt, and the ashes naturally need to be cleared out and transported here in truckloads.
However, there are also soldiers guarding here, and it is forbidden for idle people to approach.
This has a little bit of the meaning of three hundred taels of silver here, if it is ordinary ashes, there is no trace of catty, why so cautious?
Ansheng was a little discouraged again. Knowing that even if you can prove something from the ashes, it will not help. Because the crime they put on their father is also a deficit.
But hope and facts are in front of you, but you can't get close, and you always feel a pale sense of powerlessness.
She and Leng Nanxian have been wandering around, one of them is like a Zhilan jade tree, with a graceful demeanor, and the other is icy and snowy, elegant and beautiful, naturally attracting the attention of others, frequently looking at the two of them, and then someone stepped forward to drive them away.
Leng Nanxian persuaded: "If there are any clues in it, Yu Jingyun must know, let's go back to the city to find him and then find a way." ”
An Sheng bowed his head helplessly, and walked back step by step.
From a distance, I saw a soldier looking like a person, carrying an iron shovel on his shoulder, coming back from a distance, his feet were covered with mud, obviously drenched, and he just passed by An Sheng and Leng Nanxian.
When An Sheng saw it for the first time, he thought that these soldiers should go to rest in the mud on the road, thinking that they would do something beneficial to the people, but he didn't care.
On the other side, someone blocked the way of the two: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
One of the leader-looking people looked An Sheng and Leng Nanxian up and down vigilantly, and questioned loudly.
An Sheng and Leng Nanxian glanced at each other: "Just take a walk." ”
"Just take a walk?" The man looked at An Sheng suspiciously: "What is there to walk here?" ”
Someone behind him quipped maliciously: "Head, what are you doing in charge of other people?" What else can a man and a woman do when they run into this wilderness? ”
"Know what?!" The leader reprimanded with a straight face: "There is just a fire here, there is an order from above, you can't let idle people and others get in and make trouble, you must be vigilant, just told you and forgot about it?" ”
The man was bored, and wisely shrank his neck and said no more.
Leng Nanxian said indifferently: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, our brother and sister were entrusted to come to see feng shui, and we want to find a treasure of feng shui." ”
"Look at Feng Shui?" The leader glanced at Leng Nanxian suspiciously, and saw that he was dressed in white, as if he really had a bit of fairy wind bones: "Will you?" ”
Leng Nanxian nodded, and pointed casually: "The ancestral tomb of the main family was originally in that location, with the mountains and water at its back, which looked good, but after the rain two days ago, the cemetery was flooded, and the feng shui of the yin house was damaged, and it became a murderous hole, so it is very necessary to move it away quickly." We'll just go. ”
Leng Nanxian's nonsense came smoothly, and An Sheng listened dumbfounded.
The leader waved his hand impatiently and drove the two away: "This is a barn land, and you still want to be a graveyard?" It's just tired of being crooked, go far away, and be careful of the board. ”
Leng Nanxian shook his head again and again, pretending to leave, and a few people carried the shovel and went straight back to the warehouse.
An Sheng snorted lightly: "It's too wide." ”
Leng Nanxian saw that a few people were gone, and hesitated slightly: "Let's go back and walk ahead." ”
An Sheng didn't understand what he meant, followed behind Leng Nanxian, turned back far away, and walked forward along the road.
It is a small road that leads to the official road in the south of the city. It should have been used to transport grain, but there were few people walking, so there were barren grasses on both sides, and it was almost barren.
Along the road, there are traces of shovels. Leng Nanxian bent down from time to time, brushed aside the freshly turned dirt to take a look, thought for a moment, and then continued to move forward.
Ansheng was initially unimpressed, but soon realized that it was strange.
Now that the autumn grain is in storage, this road is almost useless, what are these soldiers doing to fix it? And, looking east and west, it doesn't look like it's building a road.
She bent down and took a closer look, where the shovel had been shoveled, revealing a layer of tender yellow buds, and brushing aside the newly turned soil, which was also mixed with some young seedlings.
They are clearly trying to bulldoze these new shoots.
An Sheng raised his face and faced Leng Nanxian, and the two almost said in unison: "It's Maizi!" ”
It had rained a few days ago, and the wheat was not afraid of the cold, so it sprouted.
If it is in normal times, it is inconspicuous, but now it is almost early winter, the trees are bleak, the weeds are withered and yellow, and the tender green wheat sprouts, which looks more conspicuous.
It is not surprising that there are wheat grains left along the road, but if they were left in the past, they should have sprouted with the previous rains, so why did they have to grow after the rain two days before?
It means that these grains of wheat have just been left behind.
Most importantly, why did these soldiers deliberately hide? “
The two of them didn't need to speak, and they reacted in unison.
"Someone here has recently transported food out or in!"
This thought made An Sheng instantly excited.
So far, there is only one plausible explanation.
If you follow this trace, can you have any better clues?
Without thinking, the two immediately moved forward along this official road to find their way. In the end, I turned onto the official road to the south, and all traces were gone.
"Let's go back and inquire and see if the south has delivered grain to Beijing in the past few days." Cold South String Road.
An Sheng nodded categorically: "Someone must be trying to transfer grain out, there is no doubt about it." Otherwise, they don't need to go to great lengths to cover it up. ”
A cold laugh behind him startled An Sheng, and he immediately turned around.
Behind him, there were seven or eight black-clothed people, all of whom were masked with scarves, with only two eyes exposed, and holding cold and shining steel knives in their hands, lined up in a row, waiting for the battle.
"Hehe, Xia Ansheng, there is a road in heaven that you don't take, and hell has no door to cast, no wonder us." The first person pointed at An Sheng and Leng Nanxian with a steel knife, and said coldly.
They can even call out their names when they open their mouths, and if they say that it is just a chance encounter, An Sheng will not believe anything.
"What do you mean by that?" An Sheng was shocked in his heart, but he pretended to be calm.
"I believe you know what I mean, there are some things you know too well."
It seems that he and Leng Nanxian have listened to the conversation between them.
No wonder Yu Jingyun said that he would not let himself continue to investigate, it turned out that it was really as he expected. At this time, everything has been understood by Ansheng.
"You want to kill people?"
The men coldly pushed forward: "You are killing yourself, no wonder we are." ”
"Who are you?" Leng Nanxian asked loudly.
The man smiled coldly again: "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that I know who you are." ”
An Sheng looked around, it was almost noon, and there was no one on the official road. It's a wilderness again, and no one will hear you even if you raise your voice...... Even if someone hears it, no one cares.
