Chapter 068: Lost Wealth
After the two of them finished speaking, Die Xuan, who had always been impatient, also frowned, looking thoughtful.
Long Jiao snorted coldly: "Long has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and has read countless people, that Zhenjiang prince is definitely not a good thing!
Die Xuan glanced at him: "You still need to say this! The question is why did he do this?"
Little Bean Sprouts looked at everyone curiously: "What does he do, what does it matter to us?
Xiaobao smiled, touched Ya'er's head and said, "How can it have nothing to do with us? Have you forgotten what happened on the Yangtze River?"
When Jiao'er heard this, her face immediately darkened, and her eye circles began to slowly redden.
Que Wu took her hand and said, "Jiao'er, don't worry, we will definitely avenge Father Teng and let him be blind under Jiuquan!"
Wei'er said worriedly: "But he is the prince of Zhenjiang, with a high and powerful position, and tens of thousands of troops, how can we avenge Jiao'er?"
Chai Yu snorted and said, "I can't let him go back to the palace, once he returns to the palace, it will be difficult to treat him!"
Long Jiao nodded and said, "If you want to stop him from returning to the palace, you must first find out what he is doing, this is his death hole!
Die Xuan didn't scold him this time, and nodded and said, "The first thing we have to do now is to find out where he lives." With his style and identity, I estimate that he will live in the most exclusive inn in Lanyue City. ”
Jiao'er shook her head and said, "I will never live in the inn!"
Diexuan turned her head and asked, "Why?"
Jiao'er thought about it and said, "If he dares to stay so blatantly, he doesn't have to ask Zhou Shanren for help." I doubt what he did, and I don't dare to alarm the government, that is, he doesn't dare to let Emperor Yin know. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in shock.
Chai Yu exclaimed: "You mean, he wants to rebel?"
Jiao'er shook her head: "That's not necessarily, it may not be a rebellion, but a private secret!"
"Hiding secrets?" Diexuan asked her: "Could it be that you mean that he has any treasures, but he is reluctant to give them to Emperor Yin, so he hides from his officers and soldiers and secretly returns to the palace?"
Jiao'er nodded and said to everyone: "Let's connect the events that have happened these days, and we can prove my suspicions! First, Emperor Yin has conquered Liangyugang, this imperial gang has been conquered for two years, and the prince of Zhenjiang is the minister of the expedition!"
Second, do you remember the old man in the big fishing village and the mother and son in the small fishing village? They both had diseases, and this disease, like the plague, had been prevalent in both villages for a long time. These two villages, closest to Flying Fish Mountain, are also the main source of labor for mining.
My father said that some ores are poisonous, and it is difficult to suppress them unless they are dead or sick. My father and I often crossed the river with seriously ill officers and miners to seek medical treatment. ”
Everyone nodded their heads, thinking about these things in their hearts, and they were really inextricably linked!
Diexuan asked anxiously, "What about the third?"
Jiao'er took a sip of tea and continued to say to everyone: "Third, I heard Wei'er say that the Star Picking Thief, the Thirteen Taibao, and the Fate-Seeking Yama are all gathered in Lanyue City, and what can alarm these green forest thieves must be a priceless treasure, and everyone covets this treasure.
Fourth, when the prince returned home, he traveled lightly, which was completely different from his style. He only brought two loyal servants, did not bring a single soldier, did not even reveal his whereabouts in the official, and deliberately concealed the news of his return home, which means that he has something to hide from Emperor Yin, and he avoids anyone who has the opportunity to see Emperor Yin!
However, he is the younger brother of Emperor Yin, and he is powerful and blessed with Emperor Yin on weekdays, and he is loyal to Emperor Yin like a dog, and he has no courage to rebel. From this, it can be inferred that he must have obtained some kind of treasure, and he wants to take it for himself, and he is unwilling to give it to Emperor Yin!"
Everyone nodded while listening, Xiaobao looked at Jiao'er and laughed: "Jiao'er is really cautious, with you walking with us, we will definitely be able to avoid a lot of trouble!"
Jiao'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Where is it, my brother is here to make fun of Jiao'er again!"
This coquettish demeanor made Xiaobao's heart skip a beat, but the girls were beside her, and they didn't dare to have any ideas, so they hurriedly asked her: "Then Jiao'er, where will the prince of Zhenjiang settle down at this moment?"
Jiao'er groaned and said, "First of all, you can exclude the government, he doesn't dare to go." The second inn can also be excluded, there are many people, and it is inevitable that the news will leak out! Listen to Brother Xiaobao, there are a total of three big tycoons to provide him with assistance, we only need to investigate the details of these three big tycoons to find out the hiding place of the prince of Zhenjiang!"
Die Xuan frowned slightly: "Then how do we find it? Lanyue City is so big!"
Que Wu smiled and nodded on Diexuan's forehead: "This still needs to be found, just ask the shopkeeper!"
The dragon horn did not wait for the command, got up and said to the people, "I'll ask, I'll come soon!"
Que Wu took Jiao'er's hand and said: "Sister, it seems that it is really a wise move to persuade you to go with us that day, with your intelligence, how can you be buried in the small river, you will definitely become Xiaobao's right-hand man in the future!"
Saying that, he glanced at Xiaobao, and this inadvertent flattery suddenly made Xiaobao's heart tremble, and he loved her, but because of the meaning of her words, he blushed with embarrassment!
Jiao'er also blushed: "My sister said she laughed." Jiao'er is just bored on the river all day long, and loves to think about things, besides, everyone provokes the prince of Zhenjiang for me, I don't know martial arts, and I can't help everyone else, so it's natural to think of some ideas. ”
Speaking of this, his tone was sad, and he lowered his head and muttered: "Daddy often tells me that if you think about everything before you act, and think more about it beforehand, you will avoid doing a lot of wrong things!"
"Think before you act!" Xiaobao's heart moved, thinking about Jiao'er's words, as if he realized something, and nodded lightly.
The little bean sprouts shrank in Xiaobao's arms, pouted and said: "My sisters have all the skills, but the sprouts are useless, and they are not as big as others..."
When everyone heard that she was still worried about the afternoon's events, they looked at each other and smiled, Xiaobao scratched her nose and said, "But our buds are the most obedient and the most lovely, and we all like them." ”
Xiaodou Sprouts was happy at this time, hugging Xiaobao's neck and giggling: "Brother just likes to make Sprouts happy..."
But listening to a loud "grunt" sound, everyone paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter, Diexuan laughed and scolded Niu Tong: "You guy, you know how to eat all day long, and you are hungry so early!" Chai Yu went to tell Xiao Er to prepare something to eat for him!"
Niu Tong's face was flushed, he grinned silently, and rubbed his stomach with his right hand, but suddenly, his face turned white!
Everyone was startled, and Chai Yu also jumped up to him all of a sudden, stared at him and asked, "Third child, what's wrong with you?"
Niu Tong didn't speak, his hands were desperately groping on his body, his face was already pale and there was no blood, and even a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead!
Chai Yu shouted anxiously: "Third child, what's wrong?"
Xiaobao put down the buds, flashed to Niu Tong, pressed his right hand on his shoulder, paused for a moment, and then said to everyone: "He is very anxious, his breath is very chaotic, it is not an urgent illness, it is caused by irritability." ”
Que Wu and the others had already been surprised by Xiaobao's abilities, but Jiao'er's eyes widened, looking at Xiaobao and muttering: "Brother Xiaobao is a god, how can he have so many magical powers?"
Niu Tong touched his whole body, his pale face was like a dried corpse that had been sucked up of blood, and even his eyes had no lustre, looking at Xiaobao like ashes.
Suddenly, Niu Tong's body was short, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, "Bang bang bang!" kowtowed to Xiaobao and everyone incessantly, and the floor trembled slightly!
After just a few knocks, he was pulled by Xiaobao, but blood was already flowing from his forehead, and his face was full in the blink of an eye, which shows how hard he worked!
The women exclaimed in surprise, Wei'er didn't wait for orders, she had already run out of the door, and after a while, she brought gold sore medicine and wanted to apply it to Niu Tong.
Niu Tong waved his hand again and again, and his fan-like hand twitched his face a few times, and even the corners of his mouth were oozing blood!
Xiaobao grabbed his arm and shouted angrily: "Niu Tong, don't do this, what's going on?!"
Diexuan also shouted: "If you have something, just say it, but what are you doing to practice yourself like this!
Chai Yu hurriedly pulled Niu Tong's arm and shook it violently, and asked Niu Tong: "Third child, what about the master and aunt asking you, talking!"
Niu Tong's eyes were full of tears, he seemed to have forgotten to speak ventriloquistically, touched his chest with both hands, and then gestured, Chai Yu exclaimed, pointed at Niu Tong and scolded: "Bastard third, you...!"
Long Jiao pushed the door in, and when he saw Niu Tong's appearance, he was startled, and asked in surprise: "Third child, what are you doing?"
Chai Yu was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Niu Tong and scolded: "You tell the boss yourself!"
Niu Tong grinned and shouted silently, gesturing at the dragon horn, the dragon horn's face also changed, and he clenched his fists and wanted to rush over to beat people, but when he saw Niu Tong's face full of blood, his heart softened, and he was so angry that he pointed at Niu Tong and scolded: "You... I'll see how you explain to your master and your aunts!"
Die Xuan shouted angrily: "He's all like this and scolds! What the hell happened, say!"
Long Jiao glared at Niu Tong, turned around and knelt on the ground with a "poof", Chai Yu also knelt down, Niu Tong saw it, and also broke free of Xiaobao's hand, "Tom!" and knelt in a row with Long Jiao and Chai Yu!
Everyone was puzzled, and before they could ask, Long Jiao said in a deep voice: "Master, aunts and grandmothers, our brother is sorry for you, the third child lost the silver taels!"
"Ahh Lost all of them, and not a single ingot of silver left?"
Niu Tong lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to look up at everyone.
Long Jiao said angrily, "Do you have any impression where you lost it?
Niu Tong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know exactly when he lost the money.
Looking at Ye Xiaoxuan's strange look, Chai Yu explained on the side: "The third ancestor's blacksmith specializes in weapons! When he came back from exchanging silver in the afternoon, he passed by an iron shop, and the third child's addiction came up, and he picked up the hammer for nearly an hour! But I see that he didn't take off his clothes, and the silver taels should not have been lost at that time!"
Xiaobao smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Long Jiao: "I thought something had happened, but I just lost the silver, and if I lost it, I lost it, and we can't do this between us!"
Que Wu also nodded and said: "As long as people are fine, it is better than anything, and if you lose the silver, you can earn it again, there is no need to blame yourself!"
