Chapter 148: Frightened Pei Guangyuan
"The escort of the official salt can't be delayed, so let's do it, I'll continue to escort the official salt as originally planned, and you go back and tell Master Pei Guangyuan about this matter."
Looking at the little steward of the six gods and no masters, Captain Leng shook his head and sighed.
Speaking of which, he didn't know about the birthday gift given to Chen Guifei, and it didn't pass through his hands, so it didn't have much to do with him, even if he lost something, he didn't have any responsibility.
However, the little steward who knows the situation and is in charge of escorting the gifts is probably going to be unlucky.
"Well, that's all there is to it. Captain Leng, you can continue to hurry first, and I will go to Master Pei to confess the guilt. ”
Standing up with a pale face, the little steward fell haggard with a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The two of you will escort the steward safely to Lord Pei's mansion, and then catch up with the brigade."
Looking at the half-dead and trance little steward, Captain Leng was really not at ease, and casually pointed to two guards to escort him.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
The two guards received the order, and immediately stepped forward, helped the little steward to the horse, and quickly left the dam yard.
"Alright, hurry up and have breakfast, pack your things, and continue on your way."
With an order to the group of dazed people, Captain Leng retracted his thoughts and had to be in charge of the salt transportation team.
"What, something is missing! Are you dead? So a big box of stuff is missing, you don't know? It's all rubbish, what do you want! ”
Raising his hand and pointing at the little steward of the salt field who was trembling and standing at the bottom, Pei Guangyuan only felt that his eyes were black.
Such an important thing is gone, and Pei Guangyuan really wants to use a knife to cut the little steward.
"My lord, my lord's anger is calm, and my body is important."
Seeing Pei Guangyuan's angry face, Master Sun hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the chest.
"Whew, whew, what to do? What to do? That's a birthday gift for Chen Guifei! Now it's gone, what should I do? ”
was pressed on his chest by Master Sun for a while, Pei Guangyuan finally relieved, but when he thought that the birthday gifts were gone, he couldn't help but pull Master Sun and didn't know what to do.
"My lord, hurry up and inform the eldest lord of this news, I believe that the eldest lord's side will definitely think of a way. Now the top priority is to hurry up and prepare some more gifts to cope with Chen Guifei's birthday. ”
Hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Pei Guangyuan, Master Sun's eyes rolled, and he proposed.
"Yes, yes, hurry up and pass the book to my eldest brother, there are no good things on my side, I hope my eldest brother still has something that can be handled."
Pinning all his hopes on Pei Guangqing, Pei Guangyuan asked Master Sun to quickly write a letter, put it in a bamboo tube and send it out with a carrier pigeon.
"Okay, tell me, how the hell is the thing missing?"
The carrier pigeon has been released, Pei Guangyuan believes that the eldest brother Pei Guangqing can come up with a way to solve it, and his mood has calmed down a lot, so he remembered the little steward who had knelt on the ground on the side.
"Great, my lord, my subordinates really don't know. After arriving at the dam last night, there were only three hunters there, and later because there were a lot of mosquitoes, the three hunters gave some medicinal incense that could repel mosquitoes, and who knew that everyone was fascinated after lighting it.
When I woke up today, I found that not only was there a problem with the medicinal fragrance, but even the well in the dam field was drugged. ”
Looking at Pei Guangyuan's cold eyes, the little steward wiped the sweat from his face.
When everyone woke up, the subordinates found that the gifts hidden in the middle of the salt basket were gone. But there was no sign of any of the carriage being overturned, and there were no footprints around, except that the three hunters were gone. ”
"Waste, what kind of hunter, at first glance, it's dressed as a thief, and if they get their hands on it, they won't leave, are they still waiting for you to catch it!"
Looking at the little steward's confused appearance, Pei Guangyuan slapped the table angrily.
"There are no clues, who dares to rob me of the gift I gave to Chen Guifei?"
"My lord, these thieves' methods are so neat and neat, and they are specifically aimed at adults, and only one of the people in the subordinate places has the courage to do this."
After thinking about it, Master Sun approached Pei Guangyuan and said in a low voice.
"Huh? You mean? Yes, I can pay attention to the movements of this adult, and I can't get along with this adult, that is, Luoyun Village! These bandits, Lord Ben hasn't gone to trouble them again, and they dare to provoke me! ”
As soon as he was reminded by Master Sun, Pei Guangyuan immediately thought of Luoyun Village, which had just defeated the government army not long ago.
"My lord, after defeating the encirclement and suppression army of the government, this Luoyun Village has become more and more arrogant. I actually robbed the salt farm before, and now I robbed the birthday gift you gave to Chen Guifei.
It seems that they must have arranged manpower near the salt works before, and then they found out that the adults had secretly hidden gifts in the salt convoy. ”
The more he thought about it, the more determined he became, and Master Sun looked at Pei Guangyuan with a firm face.
"Bastard, you dare to spy on Lord Ben's movements. Are all the people around me dead, and they don't even know if they're being watched! ”
Thinking that someone might be watching him at any time, Pei Guangyuan couldn't help but shudder.
He has a lot of secrets, most of which are things that will lose his head, so what he is most afraid of is that his own affairs will be exposed. At this time, thinking that someone might be watching him, Pei Guangyuan became anxious and scared.
"My lord, the matter should not be as serious as you think, the subordinates estimate that it may be that Luoyunzhai still wants to attack the salt farm, so there is a situation of monitoring the salt farm, and I accidentally found out that you handed over a box of things to the person who transported the official salt.
Out of curiosity, they stole it. They probably don't know what these things are for, they just happen to rob adults of their birthday gifts. ”
Pinching the short beard under his chin and thinking about it, Master Sun said what he thought had happened.
After all, Pei Guangyuan has also cultivated a lot of spies and secret guards in the dark, and the defense force of the government is not weak, so it is impossible to be infiltrated and monitored casually.
Come to think of it, it is reasonable to infer that someone found an anomaly when he was in the salt field.
"You're right, it's hateful that Lord Ben was careless, such an important thing was so directly obtained from the salt farm."
recognized Master Sun's analysis very much, and Pei Guangyuan hated it in his heart.
"You waste, give you another chance to redeem your merits. You immediately rush back to the salt convoy, and when you arrive at Yunzhou Mansion, go to the government office to contact my eldest brother Pei Zhifu, and he will arrange a new birthday gift for you.
This time, you must carefully escort the gifts to Beijing, and if something goes wrong, the official wants you and your whole family to be buried! ”
Staring at the little steward kneeling on the ground, Pei Guangyuan's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Yes, yes, the subordinates received the order, and the subordinates guaranteed it with a head, and this will definitely protect the birthday gifts. Things are in people, things are in disgrace! ”
Kneeling and swearing to the sky, the little steward looked hideous excitedly. Then he was driven out of the county government by Pei Guangyuan and hurriedly chased after the salt convoy.
