"Who was so bold as to rob my Maxima?" Du Bian asked.

Li Sandao: "I am investigating, I believe there will be results soon." ”

Next, Li San told the process of buying Maxima.

"Because the owner can't buy a horse above board, and this kind of thousand-mile horse worth tens of thousands of dollars will be coveted, so the Dongchang secret agent pretended to be a merchant, and very low-key got on a large merchant ship to go south, and dressed this thousand-mile horse as an ordinary horse. ”

"Because the City Ship Division is not our territory, but the territory of the family behind Tang Yan, it is the safest to hide in the merchant ships. ”

"Originally, it was foolproof, but I didn't expect that when I was about to enter the sea of Guangxi, this merchant ship was robbed, and Maxima was also robbed. ”

The conspiracy theory in Du Bian's heart immediately came up, could it be the forces of Tang Yan's family, who found out that Li Wenyu sent people to Mongolia to buy horses, so they robbed Maxima at sea? You must know that the city is just their territory, and it can be regarded as an accident on the sea at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Now that time is pressing, it will take at least nearly a month to go to Mongolia to buy a thousand-mile horse, and it may not be possible to buy it.

The key is to learn riding now, and time is running out.

"Is there really no clue about the person who robbed my Maxima?" Du Yan asked.

Li Sandao: "The master sent five Dongchang secret agents dressed as ordinary merchants to transport this thousand-mile horse, their martial arts are very high, but they were still robbed, it can be seen that the other party's martial arts are higher." ”

"These five people were also robbed, only a flying pigeon biography, which said, the little master's horse was robbed, the other party was very strong, there were brigs, the location was three hundred miles from Guangxi. But by the time we sent the clipper to the surface of the sea, there was no trace of it, and the merchant ship and the ship that had robbed the horse had disappeared without a trace. ”

Got a brig?

It wasn't a pirate, only the Sailors and the City Ship Division had such ships. In this way, it seems that the suspicion of the eunuch forces in Guangdong is very great, and the suspicion of the forces behind Tang Yan is extremely great.

What should I do now? I can't directly find the Guangdong City Bo Si to ask for someone to ask for a horse, people will definitely not admit it, and there is no evidence, the key is that Li Wenyu is in the capital at this time. Wang Yin, the pacification envoy, is an enemy again, Li Wenyu and his family have no leader, and Guangdong City Bosi will definitely not change.

Of course, it is not Guangdong City, and he also said otherwise, anyway, Du changed his free heart, and felt that it was the forces behind Tang Yan.

"Which merchant ship is on the several Dongchang warriors transporting the war horses, and whose merchant ship is it?" Du Yan asked, "Starting from this maritime merchant, we should be able to find out who actually robbed our Maxima." ”

"The owner of the merchant ship has been found out, it is Wu Zhengdao, a sea merchant in Wuzhou Prefecture. Li San said: "In order to startle the snake, we didn't do it. And this Wu Zhengdao's identity is a bit special. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Du Bian.

Li Sandao: "The wife his son married is your sister Du Ping'er. ”

Du Chang was shocked, wasn't Ping'er's sister's husband's family the rich man of Mengshan County, Wuzhou Prefecture? It turned out to be a sea merchant, and he also happened to help Dongchang secretly transport thousands of horses.

Is there such a coincidence in this world? Or is there another conspiracy in it?

Du Bian promised Sister Ping'er before that he would definitely go to see her when he came to Wuzhou Mansion. But these days are too busy, and I can't squeeze in a day.

I didn't expect that I would have to go to her husband's house after all, but I didn't expect to go in this way.

"Let's go, go to Mengshan County, Wu Zhengdao's house. Du changed his way.

"Yes, young master. Li Sandao.

Then Du Chang left the Lotus Temple and took the carriage that Li San had prepared to Mengshan County.

Du Yan still can't ride a horse, it's okay to swallow slowly, but he can't do it yet, so he still wants to get a full score in the riding test.

......

Mengshan County is three hundred miles away from Wuzhou Mansion, all the way in a hurry, Du Bian sitting in the carriage almost fell apart, a full ten hours later to arrive, at this time the sky has already dawned.

casually pulled a person to ask, and even knew where Wu Zhengdao's home was, it turned out that this sea merchant was very famous and a wealthy man in Mengshan County.

Du Bian remembered that when he was a child, Sister Ping'er liked to eat osmanthus candy very much, so he bought two packs on the street and rushed to Wu Zhengdao's manor.

After walking for dozens of miles, a large mansion appeared in front of me.

This piece can be called a manor, with towering walls, pavilions and pavilions, dozens of acres in size, and Sister Ping'er really married a rich family.

Du Chang said: "You wait here first, I will go to see my sister first, and then deal with the robbery of Maxima." ”

Li San bowed and said, "Yes, little master." ”

Du got out of the carriage and traveled all night, plus he didn't sleep, he was really dusty.

Walking to the gate of Wu's house, there were two house slaves guarding the door.

"Is there anything wrong with the young man?" said the house slave of the Wu Mansion: "If there is nothing to do, leave and don't linger in front of our mansion." ”

The slave spoke politely, but his eyes were not very polite, which was better than expelling the little beggar.

Du Bian said: "I came to see the young lady of your mansion, I am her younger brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, the slave couldn't help but look at Du Yan carefully for a while, and then said, "Then please be here first, and I'll go in and report it." ”

"Good. Du said, and then waited outside.

After about a few minutes, the house slave came out and said, "Please come with me." ”

Du Yan followed the house slave into his sister's husband's mansion.

......

After entering the mansion, Du Bian found that the manor looked magnificent on the outside, and it looked luxurious on the inside, but it was not enough connotation, just like Suzhou learned the garden architecture technology superficially, the flowers and plants in it, the ornaments, it seems that the richer the more it is placed upward, lacking the heritage of a big family.

This house slave took Du Chang to a side hall, it seems that he doesn't have much respect for him, shouldn't the reception of guests be in the main hall?

"You may be seated. The house slave said, "Please wait here for a while, and someone will come to see you in a moment." ”

Then he made a cup of tea for Du Bian, which was a worthless coarse tea.

Du Changzheng was so thirsty that he couldn't help but drink from the cow, and then the slave had some worthless snacks. Du Bian happened to be hungry after a night of driving, so he couldn't help but gobble it up.

Suddenly, the disdain in the slave's eyes became even stronger.

Du Bian was eating when footsteps sounded outside, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked in with a butler.

"Why don't you get up and meet the old lady yet. The house slave next to him said, and then he took the lead in bowing down and said, "Meet Madame, this is the younger brother of the young lady." ”

This plump woman is about fifty years old, and she should be Wu Zhengdao's wife and Ping'er's sister's mother-in-law.

Du Bian was still eating food in his mouth, poured himself a sip of tea, and then arched his hand towards Mrs. Wu and said, "Meet Mrs. in the evening." ”

The Mrs. Wu said, "Sit down and continue eating." ”

Of course, the attitude is not affectionate, but it is also not very domineering.

"Brother Du is from Guilin?" asked Mrs. Wu.

"Yes. Du changed his way.

Mrs. Wu said, "That's hard, but what's the matter?"

Du Bian said: "I just came to see my sister." ”

Mrs. Wu waved her hand, and suddenly someone brought a plate of silver and said, "I know that Ping'er often subsidizes the family, but I also pretend not to know." Your family lives on her, and I don't know. This 100 taels of silver is not a few, you can take it and go back to Guilin, and you don't need to see Ping'er. ”

Du Chang couldn't help but be stunned, is this treating him as a fight for the autumn wind?

"What, isn't it enough?" Mrs. Wu said: "It's almost enough, originally we don't like your kind of family, and it is impossible to marry you." But who knew that my son would not marry Ping'er, and he would be very willful, and I could only rely on him. Fortunately, after Ping'er passed the door, she was smart and virtuous, and she was also my good assistant, and I recognized this daughter-in-law, and I also recognized her secretly using silver to supplement her mother's family. But you can't go on and on, there's no reason for us to fill the bottomless pit of your home. ”
