Chapter 32: Planting Blame
The carriage circled around the city, but failed to find a breakthrough. And what's even more annoying is that even if you get rid of the pursuers for a while, you will be entangled after a while, as if the other party has a sense in the dark, and you can always know their direction.
[There is a problem! Even the summer solstice doesn't feel right, let alone the other two. During the pursuit, Luo Ying noticed that there was a hound led by an official, so the problem was the smell.
γPorcelain vase!γ Xia Zhi reacted and carefully inspected the porcelain bottle, only to find that in addition to the smell of the pill, there was also a strange fragrance mixed in it. The smell is so faint that it can easily be masked by the smell of medicine, but for hounds, the smell is enough to follow it. Xia Zhi was angry, he was actually tricked, and after getting Luo Ying's approval, he angrily wanted to throw the porcelain bottle into the stinky ditch on the side of the road.
Chen Huan stretched out his hand to stop her and took the porcelain vase, [Don't throw it away yet, there are other uses. γ
[Huh? What else can I do with this thing? The summer solstice is chaotic, and this thing is a troublemaker right now.
Chen Huan sent back the coachman first, and said to Luo Ying, [Tongzhen, are you familiar? Luo Ying nodded, Chen Huan reported the name of the street, and Luo Ying rushed to go.
[Is it really good to run around in this situation?] The summer solstice is unknown, so I don't understand what medicine is sold in Chen Huan's gourd.
[Anyway, it's going to get rid of the official errand, so it's better to throw a piece of meat and let them grab it first.] Chen Huan continued to sell Guanzi.
The carriage went around the alley, but fortunately it was not too late at this time, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, which was not too abrupt. The officials still followed unhurriedly, as if they were confident, waiting for the prey to be exhausted.
Leaving the noisy streets, the carriage came to the southeast of Tong Town and stopped at a corner. Chen Huan and Luo Ying got out of the car and told Xia Zhi to wait in the car, and the two of them touched towards a building.
Summer Solstice observes the outside situation through the car window, and the dog barking can be heard in the distance, and it seems that there is still some distance but it is indeed approaching in this direction. I don't know what strange things these two are doing, so I can only deduce for myself.
The houses outside were all dark and uninhabited, and the houses were more like neat warehouses. To the southeast, the warehouse, in the autumn harvest season, could it be that this is Zhang Fugui's warehouse where Chen rice is stored? Did Chen Huan lead the official to this side to make trouble for Zhang Fugui? But it's not illegal to stock old rice, maybe it's a hobby, and the government can't control it, right?
While thinking about it, the two of them touched it again, and the porcelain vase had been thrown away, probably in a certain warehouse. The plan was completed, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Luo Ying drove the carriage out from the other direction, and the light grew up and headed for the main road. This time, we finally got rid of the entanglement of officers and soldiers and were temporarily safe.
However, at this time, it was almost time to get around, and if they continued to wander around, they would undoubtedly tell the officers patrolling everywhere that they had a problem, so they could only settle down for the time being before making plans.
In Luo Ying's safe hut, Xia Zhi looked at the environment, it was a small courtyard with three rooms, a well and two trees in the yard, and only simple beds, quilts, tables and chairs in the room, and nothing else, and the living environment was bad. Fortunately, it is only used for temporary hiding, and this level is still bearable.
And the headache at the moment is how Luo Ying will break through the encirclement and leave Tongzhen.
Xia Zhi was puzzled, [What's going on?] It's been wanted for a while, why did you suddenly intensify the pursuit like a chicken blood? Do you think it could be that Yan Fang's bastard said something again, so he told the official messenger! γ
Chen Huan glanced at her and said, [Aren't you the best at this? What did you say to him? γ
[Didn't say anything...... Unless he can read minds. The summer solstice meditates hard and can't be understood.
[Forget it, if you can figure it out, you won't be tricked. It's not interesting to talk about this now, so let's think about countermeasures. Chen Huan waved his hand, [Looking at the situation of the official, I'm afraid the pursuit will continue for a while. γ
[But Luo Ying wants other tasks, can you use this as a reason to push that task?] The summer solstice is whimsical.
Luo Ying was helpless, if the object was not Xia Zhi, he didn't want to answer this kind ......of idiot question.
[What can I do then?] Disguise? Or do you want to break in? Well, it doesn't seem to work. Xia Zhi vetoed it himself while proposing the idea, and finally had to hand it over to others, [Chen Huan, look at your cunning and cunning, do you have any ideas? γ
γβ¦β¦ Did you talk like that? Chen Huan gave her a violent shudder, and Xia Zhi covered her head and hid from Luo Ying, [The specific situation is not clear, I will go and understand the situation first and then think about the next step. γ
If the pursuit of the official errand is really just because of Yan Fang's words, then Yan Fang's identity is up for debate, and secondly, the official errand is not so easy to handle. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, no matter how tight the time is, you can't blindly attack, otherwise you will only lose.
[Then what did you go there just now, blaming Zhang Fugui? ] Xia Zhi asked, but she still couldn't think of an answer.
[Oh? Did you guess it was Zhang Fugui's warehouse? That's right, the porcelain vase was thrown inside, and the official should be able to find it soon. Chen Huan replied.
[But what impact does this have on Zhang Fugui? It's not illegal to pile up old rice, and it's not illegal to be an official. γ
[Aged rice is not illegal, but what if there are other illegal things in it?] For example, private salt or something. Chen Huan stopped at the point.
Sure enough, he is cunning and cunning, Chen Huan wants to borrow a knife to kill people. The crime of selling illicit salt, even for a rich man of Zhang Fugui's level, is a very tricky problem, and if it is not handled well, it may lead to imprisonment. Is Chen Huan's so-called ship to the bridgehead naturally waiting for such an opportunity?
Luo Ying stayed in the safe hut to wait for news, while Chen Huan and Xia Zhi returned to Tongxiangyuan first. The news soon came out, and the original wanted fugitive was rewarded with an additional thousand taels, and there was also a reward for providing useful information, and those who directly captured Luo Ying could get a reward of 1,000 taels, so the officials were red-eyed and full of enthusiasm to pursue the whole process. There are even rumors that the bounty is all provided by a son surnamed Yan, and he knows who this son surnamed Yan is with his toes.
And Chen Huan's misfortune also had a follow-up, the officials accidentally found illegal salt in the old rice in Zhang Fugui's warehouse, and in order to further investigate, the entire warehouse was temporarily blocked, and the officials guarded it day and night. Until the matter is investigated, the batch of paddy must not be disposed of. At the same time, the batch of rice ordered by Chen Huan began to be loaded into trucks and ready to be transported to the wharf.
Xia Solstice asked, "When did you start planning this?" γ
[Huh? It's called a flash of inspiration. You learn a little more. γ
[Cut, you earned, the lowest price to buy is the finest rice. Poor Luo Ying was sold and helped you count the money. γ
[Don't say it so ugly, Luo Ying also relies on this batch of rice to get out of the city. Chen Huan ticked a tick on the ledger and made a perfect transaction.
