Chapter 113: Epilogue (Part II)
Jishitang, study.
Wei Miao'er, Ouyang brother and sister, Yuan Gang and Wang Miao sat around the study.
Li You sat in the center of the crowd, and after bowing his head and pondering for a while, he finally raised his head.
Seeing that Li You had made up his mind, everyone turned their eyes to him and waited for his deployment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yangzhou is the base camp of the Linghu family. After the smuggling salt case, we and the Linghu family have been on the same page. However, because there are two cases to investigate (the origin of Yao Lan's father killed and more than 40 children), it is imperative to go to Yangzhou. Li You sighed when he said this, and turned his gaze to Ouyang Jian. However, the matter of the long tongue (the matter of accepting the ruling of the heavenly court) should not be postponed any longer. So, after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to split up! ”
"Two soldiers?"
Ouyang Yan looked surprised.
"I, Brother Ouyang, and Long Tongue go all the way, first to resolve the crisis faced by Long Tongue."
"I'll go too!"
Wei Miaoer immediately expressed her position.
"No!"
Li You flatly refused.
"Why?"
"Because you're going to take someone else to Yangzhou!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"What does it mean for her to bring?"
Wang Miao, Yuan Gang and Ouyang Yan questioned one after another.
"What's wrong?" Li You glared at Wang Miao and Yuan Gang first, and the two immediately lowered their heads.
Li You can still hold these two people, but the difficulty is Ouyang Yan.
Li You did his best and put on the most sincere expression. "Yanyan, when you arrive in Yangzhou, no matter what, everything has to be listened to Miss Miao'er, is it okay?"
Ouyang Yan's brows were furrowed, his lips were tight, and his face was even longer. "Why should you listen to her?"
"Because she's smarter than I am!"
Although he didn't want to say it, Li You really had no other way.
"Oh?"
Ouyang Yan's face was suspicious, and the others showed surprised expressions.
For Li You to say such things, Wei Miaoer is definitely not simple.
"My lord..."Wei Miao'er also had an unhappy expression, but when she saw Li You say this, she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
"Miss Miao'er, it's dangerous to go to Yangzhou, but I don't know when I'll be able to come back, these brainless guys, I'll leave it to you first."
Li You stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Miao'er.
"Li You!"
Ouyang Yan was furious. Although Wang Miao and Yuan Gang didn't dare to attack, they were also unhappy.
Wei Miao'er saw everyone's reaction, but smiled. "My lord, Miao'er has no cultivation and no special abilities, she is the most ordinary and the one who needs to be protected the most. When you explain the aftermath like this, don't you deliberately put Miao'er in isolation? ”
In a few simple words, Ouyang Yan, Wang Miao and Yuan Gang immediately had a good impression of Wei Miaoer.
Especially the word aftermath, which made the three of them feel relieved.
After Ouyang Jian heard this, he immediately cast a strange look at Wei Miao'er.
This woman is not simple!
"Miss Miao'er, I'm just going to help grow my tongue..."
Before Li You finished speaking, Wei Miao'er immediately waved her hand at him. "My lord, since Yangzhou is so dangerous, why can't we wait for you to come back before we go together?"
"That's right."
"Yes."
Ouyang Yan woke up like a dream, and Wang Miao also whispered.
Li You originally had a joking smile on his face, but when he heard this question, his expression immediately became solemn.
After a long time of getting along with each other in Shengtang County, everyone has long been familiar with Li You's character.
What can make Li You so cautious must be an extremely tricky trouble.
"The danger of Yangzhou must not be explained." Li You looked at everyone. "When we were in Shengtang County, our rear was attacked many times, and now we want to enter the land of tigers and wolves, if we don't have a proper method, the rear is bound to become our weakness. In case there is any accident with Mother, Miss Yao Lan, Mo Xing, Edamame, Uncle Tian and others, none of us can afford it. ”
When everyone heard this, they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Ling Hu is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he can't go without permission without a perfect strategy." Li You added again. "However, Shengtang County is no longer a place to stay for a long time."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh?"
As soon as these words came out, even Ouyang Jian became interested.
Li You sighed. "The front door drives the tiger, and the back door leads the wolf. Today, Shengtang County has become the base of the Great Demon Moxi! ”
When Ouyang Jian heard Mo Xi, he immediately frowned. "Li You, what do you mean?"
Li You explained the ins and outs of the illicit salt case and the elixir case to everyone in detail.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and were shocked, even Ouyang Yan, who had always been a little unconcerned, showed an extremely grim expression.
"I have a special identity, I have a heavy army, I have countless capable people around me, and I have a resourcefulness that even I can't match."
"This is our opponent!"
Saying the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time, Li You actually felt a lot more relaxed. Others, however, don't feel that way.
"Childe, you mean that these two cases were planned by the big demon Moxi, and we were just used by her for her..."
"Drive away the Linghu family and monopolize the services of Shengtang County."
"If the expectation is good, in the next few days, the emperor will issue a decree to send a large number of Shenwei troops to Shengtang County on the grounds of protecting the tomb of the ancestor Gaotao."
Ouyang Jian's face was also solemn. "Why would she do that?"
"Replace the Linghu family and continue to engage in illicit salt trafficking."
"The dragon vein of Datang is in Shengtang County, and only by protecting the dragon vein can Datang last for a long time."
"The strength of me and Miao'er comes from the ancestor Gaotao, and she may want to completely cut off our communication with the ancestor."
"Shengtang County has developed waterways, which is the most convenient path for the north and south to enter Yangzhou. And the Yangzhou generation is the main source of Datang's tax revenue, and keeping Shengtang County is equivalent to guarding Datang's financial resources! ”
"If you keep your financial resources, the Tang Dynasty will be able to stand tall."
Li You and Wei Miao'er explained to everyone from all aspects.
When everyone heard this, they all had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Unconsciously, Wei Miaoer also established her prestige in the hearts of everyone.
After everyone digested this large amount of information, Wei Miao'er looked at Li You again. "My lord, you must have other reasons besides that."
"Not bad." Li You nodded. "Do you remember those kids?"
When this topic was mentioned, everyone was sad.
More than 40 children were soaked in decoction for a long time, and even steamed as raw materials, squeezed the last trace of flesh and blood on their bodies, and died tragically in the cave that did not see the light of day.
Anyone who has ever suffered such a thing will leave an indelible shadow in their hearts.
"There have not been reports of a large number of missing children in the surrounding states and counties, but where did these children come from?"
Yuan Gang finally couldn't hold it anymore. "What do you mean?"
"Outcasts!"
I see!
"I suspect that someone is targeting displaced people and engaging in child trafficking!"
"Child trafficking!"
A pair of frightened and helpless eyes immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"That's the only plausible explanation."
Wei Miao'er nodded. "Yangzhou is a gathering place for displaced people, and the local government regards them as a cancer, and even if they report the case, no one will pay attention to them. Therefore, so many children have been lost, but they still have not been able to arouse the alarm of the government. Your Excellency wants us to rush to Yangzhou as soon as possible, find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible, and eradicate this evil deal! ”
"Not bad!" Li You nodded again in affirmation. "The sooner the murderer is found, the fewer children will be poisoned."
After listening to Li You's explanation, Ouyang Yan had nothing to say, and the others were also in mixed moods, and they felt the weight of responsibility on their shoulders.
"Therefore, after arriving in Yangzhou, everyone needs to complete the following two things as soon as possible. First of all, assist the ink line and establish a foolproof rear. This matter must rely on Miss Miao'er. ”
After getting along for a period of time, everyone else already knows something about Mo Xing's character. Although he is a kind-hearted child, once he loses his temper, no one can convince him - except Wei Miaoer.
"As for the case of child trafficking, I will ask Brother Yuan and Yanyan to bother more."
"Hmm."
"I see."
"However, Ling Fox will definitely intervene!" Li You's words changed. "Yangzhou is the home base of Linghu Hu, and I suspect he has something to do with the child trafficking case. And Ling Fox's resourcefulness is by no means below me! ”
Li Youju said this, deliberately stopped.
At the mention of Ling Hujian, Ouyang Yan immediately thought of the situation that day when he was stopped by her and Ouyang Jian, and his face showed a trace of disdain. However, after hearing Li You's evaluation, I was still a little surprised.
"Ling Hu is nicknamed the prime minister of cloth, and his subordinates not only have demons such as Shaquan and Ji Liang, but also have the power of Buddhism such as Fallacy and Enlightenment behind him. Moreover, it is said that behind the Linghu family, there is even more power of the immortal clan. ”
"Immortals?"
Ouyang Jian was also surprised.
"Not bad. The Linghu family rose to prominence in the Kaiyuan period, and the power it relied on at that time was an immortal with extremely high cultivation. As for the identity of this immortal, although it is difficult to verify now, this news is absolutely reliable! ”
Ouyang Jian was shocked. "No wonder the Linghu family has not fallen for a hundred years, and there are three forces behind it, interesting! Interesting! ”
"Therefore, after you arrive in Yangzhou, you will discuss more affairs, if there is something that cannot be decided, it is still subject to Miss Miao'er's opinion!"
Li You looked at Wei Miao'er again.
Wang Miao and Yuan Gang immediately nodded in agreement, and although Ouyang Yan still looked displeased, he did not put forward any other opinions.
Li You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of Wei Miao'er's mouth also showed a subtle smile.
Ouyang Jian looked at the subtle expressions of the two, and finally realized that today's matter was by no means as simple as it seemed. The two didn't seem to have a premeditated plan, but as soon as they sang and harmonized, they persuaded the arrogant Ouyang Yan.
With these two people, these people may really be able to do something amazing!
This troubled world may really be able to be calmed down as soon as possible because of these people.
You may be able to get liberation as soon as possible because of this.
Yangzhou!
In this most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, what kind of people and things are waiting for everyone?
In the duel between Li You and Ling Huxuan, who will win after all?
Among the more than 300,000 displaced people, how many secrets are hidden after all?
