Chapter 44: Half Moon Villa
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Zhu Yixiang's words fell, Hu Shibai entered the door of the morgue, opened everyone, walked to Lu Yan's side with a serious face, and whispered something in his ear.
Lu Yan frowned after hearing this, pondered for a moment before ordering: "Gather the Jinyi Guards and immediately surround the Half Moon Villa!" ”
The change came too quickly, and Zhu Yixiang was a little confused, "What, just kill it like this?" It's too straightforward too! Didn't you say that you would spy on it first? ”
Lu Yan didn't explain anything, and walked away with a large number of brocade guards like a gust of wind.
Although Zhu Yixiang suspected that there was a cat in Half Moon Villa, he was not a fairy after all, and he didn't know what was in it, but he just guessed a little bit or two, according to his guess, there was no need to surround Half Moon Villa in such a hurry, he could wait for the rabbit to wait for a while, Lu Yan was in such a hurry to take someone to go, then something special must have happened, Zhu Yixiang was so anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, Half Moon Villa was related to whether he could redeem the green peony and keep his little head, he couldn't help but care!
Although he was sick and groggy at this time, he had Half Moon Villa in his heart, and it was more uncomfortable to let him rest than to let him go to prison, so he borrowed his official sedan chair from the magistrate in a hurry.
Of course, the magistrate is unhappy in his heart, this Zhu Yixiang accepted his money and ruined his reputation, it is really hateful, but this kid is Lu Qianhu's person, he can't afford to provoke it, in line with the mentality of enduring the calm for a while, taking a step back and opening the sky, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and gave the comfortable sedan chair to Zhu Yixiang.
Can give the sedan chair to Zhu Yi Lane, Pan Zhi County has no means of transportation, and Zhu Yi Lane squeezed a sedan chair to think about goosebumps, this Pan Zhi County is also a scholar who can't ride a horse, but this Half Moon Villa is within his jurisdiction, this grandson is not only a celebrity in the county but also a friend of Pan Zhi County, he got the scene in public and private, and saw the donkey tied next to the stable in the backyard.
Wu Dayong had already been worried about the 100,000 taels of silver, if it weren't for the face of the 100,000 taels of silver, he had already killed Zhuyi Lane with a knife when he was in the Land Temple, and as for blocking this sword for him, he finally had a clue, how could he honestly lie on the bed to recuperate, and when he got the news, everyone had been gone for a long time, he hurriedly went to the backyard to find the donkey, only to learn that the donkey was ridden away by the magistrate, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and chased after him with two legs, for fear that he would miss something if he went late!
Wu Dayong trotted all the way, and finally caught up with the sedan chair of the county, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not too late, and he secretly scolded in his heart why did he borrow his baby donkey when the county magistrate obviously has a sedan chair to sit on, it is really shameless!
Wu Dayong followed the sedan chair all the way, and when he arrived at the Half Moon Villa, the sedan chair man opened the curtain, only to find that what came down from the sedan chair was actually Zhuyi Lane, wrapped in Lu Qianhu's black big coat, his face was haggard and pale, and he was shaking when he walked. Seeing Wu Dayong, as if he had seen a relative, he hurriedly went over to greet him: "Oh, Brother Wu, why are you panting and tired like this?" Could it be that you came over, you told me earlier, let's make a sedan chair together, how good it would be! How are your injuries? If you don't get better, you can rest in the county office, why do you have to come out and suffer this sin......"
Wu Da said with his heart that if I had known that it was you inside, I would definitely not walk! But since I've walked over, it's useless to dwell on this, so I can only smile and say: "It's okay, activity is good for the body!" ”
At this time, Zhu Yixiang's eyes were full of gratitude to Wu Dayong, no matter how hypocritical Wu Dayong's expression was now, he seemed to be kind, so he said: "Okay, you must take care of yourself, what you want to eat, what you want, tell my brother!" ”
"Second brother Xie Zhu!"
"Between the two of us, what else do you want to thank or not, you have stuck a knife in my chest, and I can't be too stingy in Zhuyixiang!"
Wu Da said with his heart that if you are not stingy, you can tell me the 100,000 taels of silver! Although he wanted to know in his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously, so he asked sideways: "You said last time that you already knew the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of military salaries, could it be that you are in this Half Moon Villa?" ”
Zhu Yixiang shook his head, "It's hard to say now, but there will be results soon!" ”
The two of them entered the Half Moon Villa as they spoke, and what surprised Zhu Yixiang was that the courtyard of the Half Moon Villa was full of fallen leaves, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time, and the Jinyi Guard and the county officials were looking for something everywhere.
Last time, Second Uncle Li said that he came to this Half Moon Villa to ask for debts, and the villa was locked, he thought it was just to hide people's eyes, looking at the current scene, could it be that the people of this Half Moon Villa have already absconded in fear of crime? It shouldn't be, this is the mansion of the official's family, and the monk can't run the temple if he can run, doesn't he have a son who is an official? Zhu Yixiang was full of doubts.
Raising his eyes, he saw Lu Yan standing in the courtyard, the fallen leaves hit his shoulders, the flying fish suit with gold and silver threads outlined a slender waist, and there was a sharp aura hidden in the soft lines of his face, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows were raised, he stood with his hands in his hands, and the jade tree was in the wind, especially in the comparison of the body size of Pan Zhixian next to him, it made him even more immortal, as if Qu Yuan had come out of Lisao! It's just that this immortal's face is not very good-looking, as if someone owes him eight hundred hanging money!
Zhu Yixiang stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Lord Qianhu, have you found anything?" Where are all the people in this villa? ”
Lu Yan didn't want to speak with a dark face, looking at this expression, Zhu Yixiang knew that the results had not yet been found, otherwise Lu Qianhu would have blown up his hair a long time ago, and would he still stand here so leisurely and pretend to be an immortal?
Pan Zhixian next to him turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, and wiped his cold sweat with his sleeves!
Zhu Yixiang said with concern: "Lord Zhixian, are you also sick?" I think you're pretty empty! ”
"Hey!" Pan Zhixian sighed and said: "There is a way to know people and faces, but not hearts, it is difficult to draw tigers and skins, this grandson is too deep to hide, I still can't believe that he is actually a Jiangyang thief who robbed the army......"
A brocade guard came in and said, "Lord Qianhu, I have inquired with the neighbors around here, and they all said that they don't know the whereabouts of this grandson, this Half Moon Villa was locked more than half a month ago!" Since then, only a few debt collectors have come! ”
Lu Yan nodded, "Got it, continue to check!" ”
The magistrate wiped his sweat and asked, "I now know that this Half Moon Mountain Villa is a den of thieves, but I still don't quite understand, what does this have to do with charcoal?" ”
Speaking of these, Zhu Yixiang was proud and explained: "Now this month, it is not yet time to use charcoal, although some large families will store charcoal for the winter in advance, but there is no need to be so urgent!" But this Half Moon Villa not only has a large demand for charcoal, but is also in such a hurry, it has to make people doubt the usefulness of this charcoal! ”
Smart people generally only talk half of what they talk about, and the remaining half needs to be understood, but this Pan Zhixian obviously does not belong to this kind of smart people, and he looked at Zhu Yixiang with a confused face, waiting for the following!
Zhu Yixiang coughed twice, and then explained: "Then this charcoal is definitely not used for heating, it is very likely that it is used to melt silver!" ”
"Huh?" Hearing Zhu Yixiang's words, the magistrate looked surprised, "Could it be?" Could it be that the military pay has been cast? ”
Zhu Yixiang nodded bitterly, "It is very possible, and it is also possible that this silver has flowed into the ticket numbers of large and small money banks in Yangzhou City!" If you want to check this, it's really harder than looking for a needle in a haystack......" After finishing speaking, he secretly went to look at Lu Qianhu, and saw that the pimple between his eyebrows was raised again, and his face was terrifying like that of King Yama, obviously he thought of this possibility when Zhu Yixiang mentioned charcoal, and now that he heard these words from his mouth, he was not sure how to be in a hurry!
Zhu Yixiang knew that Lu Qianhu was in a bad mood at this time, so he closed his mouth very well about current affairs, what a smart person Lu Qianhu was, he naturally knew how to check down if he did this!
After a while, the Jinyi Guard, who searched the Half Moon Villa, replied that it was just an empty mansion and nothing was found!
"Impossible!" Zhu Yixiang shouted: "The housekeeper and twenty people of this Half Moon Villa were buried in a big pit outside the city, you said that there is no trace of this place, it is absolutely impossible, it must be that you did not search carefully!" ”
Obviously, Lu Yan didn't believe that there was nothing in this Half Moon Villa, this house was clean and abnormal, and it was strange that there was no clue, so he said in a bad tone: "Don't you know how to search it?" Dig three feet into the ground for me, and if I can't find something, I'll bury you here!" ”
Those people trembled and went down to carry hoes and shovels, Zhu Yixiang only felt that staying by Lu Yan's side was overwhelmed by the pressure of the anger around him, so he said: "Lord Qianhu, I'll help my brother take a look around, you rest!" After saying that, he flashed and wandered around this Half Moon Villa!
This half-moon villa is surrounded by mountains and waters, full of natural simplicity, it seems that this grandson is an elegant person who believes in Lao Zhuang! Outside the villa is a river, and the spring where the river originates is in this villa, a few thin springs spray water jets outward, and a living pond is built in the villa, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and some fruit trees are around the pond, and the fruits are ripe at this time, and the red and bright are coveted.
The spring water flowed out through a specially built gap in the wall, and outside the wall was a large area of fertile land, and on both sides of the river were scattered a few thatched-roof pavilions, in which many peasants rested, and even a few naughty children crossed the gap in the wall to steal fruit from the pond inside the mountain village!
The officials of the county government sent the children away, and the children said with a pout: "Uncle Sun said that we can pick the fruit here, why don't you let it?" ”
"A few hairy children, get out, if you don't roll again, I'm welcome!" The official said angrily.
The children were not convinced on their faces, but they were afraid of the knife on the waist of the official, and they were stiff and unwilling to go!
