Chapter 159: Fruit Grove
Li Xiaosi couldn't stay idle, Du Yun had something on his mind, and the two of them didn't stay in Yeduwa for a few more days.
Everyone is very busy, and this time there is only one person who comes to see off: "You don't look like you're here to take over the work, but like you're here for sightseeing and visiting relatives." ”
"Tut, they're all about to become resentful women." Li Xiaosi bumped into Luo Jingcheng and quipped: "Go up the mountain to help when you are empty, don't be a complaining woman with a sad face all day, be careful not to get married." ”
"Sister Minxian!" The compass stamped his feet.
Du Yun rode over, stopped and said, "Listen to your sister Minxian, when the situation eases, I will take you to Beijing." ”
Luo Jingcheng pursed his face: "I'm not a child." Seeing Du Yun running away and shouting at the top of his voice: "I remember you said that you will take me with you when you enter Beijing." ”
Du Yuntou didn't look back, just waved his hand, and Luo Jingcheng got into the carriage with satisfaction: "Go, go back to Manfu Building, open the door to do business." ”
The accompanying servant smiled: "Okay, this time it's finally normal, a businessman, what's the matter with not doing business and drinking every day." ”
"Mouthy." Luo Jingcheng looked in the direction of Yedu Cave and muttered: "How can you get it if you don't do business, you have to feed such a big group of people." I went back to find Uncle Drunk and said, how to take over the business, why is it always beyond our means, it will be difficult for a long time, and Mr. Du's silver can not be tossed. ”
"Gotcha, drive!" The carriage ran quickly towards Wen County.
……
Before Fufeng, there was a big town, called Guolin.
As soon as Li Xiaosi and Du Yun arrived at the city gate, the guards guarding the gate immediately surrounded them: "Catch them, these two are the key criminals wanted by the imperial court." ”
"Uh, what's going on?" Before Li Xiaosi and Du Yun could react, they rode over on a black horse in black clothes: "Follow me." ”
Li Xiaosi and Du Yun picked out a few guards who blocked the way, followed the man in black through the city gate, and ran into an alley. There is a small courtyard in the alley, three horses in the courtyard, and three people in the house.
"Minxian, Dong ...... Uh, Mr. Du. Geng Yi clenched his fists.
Du Yun didn't see it, and called back: "Fifth brother." ”
Li Xiaosi smiled and asked, "Which one is singing at the city gate, why are you here?" ”
"It's a long story, but those are two things." Geng Yi invited the two to sit down and said slowly: "Wang Mang knew that Mr. Du was still alive and reported to the imperial court, but the emperor pressed him and bit him to death and said that Dong Xian had been martyred. Wang Mang had no choice but to draw a portrait of Mr. Du and post it, claiming that he was a Jiangyang thief. And Min Xian is similar, because it is estimated that my Geng family's power in Shanggu and Maolin Fufeng does not dare to explicitly say that Min Xian is wanted, but he also painted a portrait and called it a thief, and he is wanted throughout the country. ”
Du Yun nodded: "I see, it's okay, it's just a matter of disguise in the future." Nowadays, there are more Jiangyang thieves, and the more they go down, the more no one takes this matter seriously. ”
Geng Yi also nodded: "Minxian is even more fearless, Wang Mang didn't say Minxian's name, people are similar, Minxian just needs to walk as Miss Geng Jiayan, and ordinary people can't rely on it." It's just that I'm afraid that Wang Mang will secretly send someone to assassinate him. ”
Du Yun smiled lightly: "He has already done this." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xiaosi, and the conversation stopped.
Li Xiaosi was naturally happy to see Geng Yi, she had figured out the matter at the city gate, and then asked, "Then tell me about it, how did you come to the fruit forest." ”
Geng Yi paused, and then said: "After returning from the capital, I have been handling official business in the military camp and have not returned to the mansion. ”
Saying that, Geng Yi paused again, and said: "I don't want the bandits to be rampant, I actually attacked the general's mansion, not only robbed the money, but also kidnapped a few maids in the mansion." ”
Du Yun frowned and said, "So you're here to save people?" ”
"Well, I found out that the bandits are near the fruit forest, so it is inconvenient for me to bring the troops here, I originally wanted to borrow troops here...... But ......"
Du Yun said: "However, the garrison of Guolin is unwilling to borrow troops. ”
Geng Yi nodded and slammed his fist on the table: "That's right, this thief must have colluded with the bandits, not only did he refuse to borrow troops, but he probably also reported the news." ”
Du Yun smiled bitterly: "The family of officials and bandits is no secret in Dahan. ”
"That's not right." Li Xiaosi only remembered at this time and asked, "Who have you robbed?" ”
At this time, Mo Xiang walked in, her eyes red: "Fourth Miss, those who killed a thousand knives robbed Sister Chunhong." There are also the old man and the old lady who stuffed the young master over the women. ”
"Guys?" Li Xiaosi glanced at Geng Yi meaningfully: "If you don't want to get married, your family is in a hurry." Mei Niang is also here? ”
Mo Xiang's mouth was fast, and he said: "Here, here, master, old lady, almost everyone of several ladies and aunts sent one to the young master." ”
Du Yun also looked at Geng Yi: "How many people are there with you?" ”
"Four or five." Geng Yi replied.
"There's a map." Du Yun asked.
"Yes, yes." Mo Xiang was very active, and hurriedly took out a cowhide roll from his arms.
After looking at it for a long time, Du Yun pointed to a small river in the drawing: "This drawing is given by the Guolin Guard." ”
"How?" Geng Yi asked.
"The river dried up three years ago, and even during the flood season, it was only half a human waist." Du Yun said very surely.
Li Xiaosi pointed to Du Yun's head and emphasized: "This is a living map, he said that the river has dried up, so it must have dried up." ”
Geng Yi pointed his finger on the map, covered in cold sweat: "If I take the boat away, the ship will run aground, if I abandon the ship and go......"
Du Yun said: "The river will not say that the flow will be cut off, and Niutouzhai is upstream, and there must be a dam." ”
Geng Yi said hatefully: "If I abandon the boat, they can open the gate and release the water." ”
"Damn!" Li Xiaosi slapped his palm on the table, and was angry: "What is the Guolin garrison, how dare you calculate my brother like this." ”
He ...... It's Wang Mang's person. Du Yun said: "This time the fifth brother was ransacked by bandits, it was a conspiracy, and we involved the fifth brother." ”
Geng Yi frowned, filled with righteous indignation: "Wang Mang is such a villain, he should be a true hypocrite." ”
Rolling up his sleeves, Li Xiaosi was about to rush out, but was pulled by Du Yun: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Kill the garrison and raze the Niutou Village."
Geng Yi also came to dissuade: "Minxian, don't be impulsive, there are thousands of people in Niutouzhai, to say the least." ”
Du Yun took Li Xiaosi's hand: "Why let yourself have so much blood on your hands, there is a way to save people for your husband." ”
After appeasing Li Xiaosi, Du Yuncai said: "Niutouzhai was originally an ancient castle, entrenched in the Wenjiang River with a long history, and is known as impregnable. ”
When Du Yun said this, he smiled: "The ancient buildings with a long history are solid in the past, but they are now gone, but they haven't been seen for a long time." ”
"What do you want to do?" Li Xiaosi asked impatiently.
"The day after tomorrow, there will be a heavy rain here...... Du Yun said and looked at Geng Yi: "You arrange for someone to buy the tung oil of the entire fruit forest." ”
