Chapter 1038: Too Many Coincidences Are Not Coincidences!
Before he finished speaking, Li Laosi had already snatched the oil paper bag and spread it directly in front of Hou Ye.
The two of them didn't say a word politely, and ate directly.
Li Laosi shouted happily while eating, "Oh, it's our family's Fu Niu'er's craftsmanship, she can make this spicy taste, and her mother can't do it." ”
Hou Ye didn't respond, but his subordinates were not slow......
In the blink of an eye, the oiled paper bag was empty, and Mu Jue was holding two dry steamed buns, very painful, and he didn't dare to say it......
Li Laosi looked back and couldn't help laughing, "Look at you like that, what do you feel distressed about." After the victory returns home, I will ask Fu Niu'er to make a pot and pay you back. ”
After that, he licked his mouth and felt that it was not enjoyable, and forced Mu Jue to ask, "Is your kid hiding his secrets, is there anything else in the bag?" ”
Mu Jue hurriedly turned the bag out, and it was empty.
"I'm mixed in the food delivery line, so it's hard to bring too many things."
Li Laosi was a little pity, sat at the table and complained, "Fu Niu'er didn't come, if she was here, there would definitely be no shortage of food."
"I don't know how this girl is in the palace? Even if the emperor and the princess treat her well, it is better to be at ease with her own home. ”
The god of killing that usually terrifies barbarians, when he mentions his daughter, he immediately turns into a nagging old father.
Hou Ye was naturally also worried, and urged Mu Jue, "Let's talk about the new capital, how about the county lord first?" ”
Mu Jue glanced at Li Laosi without a trace, poured water, drank it happily, and then said goodbye.
For example, the drought in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the quarrels in the court, such as Li Lao'er borrowing grain from the family, such as Jiaren and Brother Li'er taking office, such as Jiayin often asking the little fox to send news home......
Li Laosi and Hou Ye listened carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes rejoicing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Laosi even smiled proudly, "I just said that you don't have to worry about the family, with my second brother here, Mr. Wen also has a lot of ideas, Fu Niu'er is smarter, and the daughter-in-law of Jiaren is also a good one, there must be nothing wrong." ”
Hou Ye glared at him and did not refute.
This is an afterthought, and he nagged a lot on weekdays!
Li Laosi smiled, touched his nose and went to get the dried noodles, and asked the soldiers to help cook them for Mu Jue to eat.
Then, he turned back to the tent, remembered the people who robbed the road before, and asked, "Mu boy, what is the basis for saying that those people who robbed grain are from the southwest?" ”
Mu Jue thought about it, then lowered his voice and responded, "Master Hou, Fourth Master, these people who robbed military rations are most likely from the southwest, and they are also from the army. ”
Southwest?!
Hou Ye frowned, and subconsciously straightened his cuffs, showing that this possibility was also unexpected by him.
Li Laosi said, "Master Hou, when I met the grain transport team, they were already on the road, and they were sprinkled with medicine in the well water by several moles in the team, and hundreds of people were put down.
"But those traitors don't know if the amount of medicine they brought was insufficient, or if their subordinates showed mercy, the amount of medicine in the water was very light, so it would not kill them.
"They fired their cannons, and a detachment of men and horses arrived and tried to rob the grain team. As a result, I led people to disperse!
"That team is well-trained, and it is forbidden to enforce orders, and it is true that it is not like a rabble of mountain bandits and the like.
Mu Jue said that several moles spoke with the accent of Fancheng in the southwest, but unfortunately they all committed suicide by biting their tongues, and there was no way to investigate the matter.
"But our Northern Expeditionary Army has no grievances or enmity with the border army in the southwest, and Lu Shizi is also close to our family, even now Jiaren is still an official in the southwest, so I can't find the reason why the southwest is targeting us......"
Hou Ye's eyes were dark, and after thinking about it, he asked Mu Jue, "In addition to the wrong accent of the traitor, do you have any other evidence?" The stakes are high, and there must be ironclad evidence. ”
Mu Jue moved his stool, got closer and closer to Li Laosi and Hou Ye, and said in a low voice, "Earlier, the military rations were sunk in the river, and General Dayong and I suspected that there were dark ghosts in the army.
"Because those river boats can only be contacted by military personnel, outsiders can't get close at all. What's more, you have to dig the bottom of the ship without knowing it?
"But we didn't catch anyone's wrists, and we were just suspicious. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, General Dayong used the excuse of an inventory and cleared out all the unreliable people in the dock barracks.
"One of the adjutant generals is from the Southwest Frontier Army, and he acts on weekdays, and he is very low-key and cautious. This time he was arrested not because he was suspected of being involved in the shipwrecking, but because he made a very stupid mistake, as if it was intentional.
"I guessed that there was something wrong with this man, and he was punished and sent back to the southwest to eat sand, as if by our hand we helped him return to his homeland.
"So, I told my uncle, and my uncle had sent someone to follow and monitor all the way."
Li Laosi frowned and responded, "There are often secondments in the army, even in the southwest, there are also generals from our Northern Expeditionary Army, if you are convicted by your background, it is really a little untenable." ”
Hou Ye didn't speak, but Mu Jue nodded in agreement.
"The fourth master is right, I also know this, so when the second batch of military rations arrived in Jiangbei, I hurriedly followed.
"Those people destroyed the rations for the first time, and the family worked hard to reraise them, and they continued to deliver the second batch without a few days of delay. If the person behind it is unwilling, he will definitely take action.
Sure enough, halfway through the road earlier, the well water was sprinkled with medicinal powder, which led out the moles in the team. I hid under the car and could clearly hear them speaking with a southwestern Fancheng accent.
"If you add it twice together, even if it can't be used as evidence, it's not a coincidence if there are too many coincidences."
Hou Ye's expression was a little solemn, he raised his hand to pour tea, and did not speak for a while.
The Lu family has guarded the southwest and worked hard for many years, and it can be said that they are loyal, that is, Lu Zong, the son of the world, took the initiative to send him to Xindu to study.
Whether he is or the emperor, he has never suspected that the Lu family has two hearts.
But now, as Mu Jue said, there are more coincidences, and it is definitely not a coincidence.
At this time, Mu Jue coughed dryly twice, and said, "There is another important clue that may explain the reasons behind all the problems." In other words, it was not the Lu family who destroyed the military rations, but the Lu family. ”
These words were really strange, and Hou Ye and Li Laosi both looked at Mu Jue.
Mu Jue didn't hesitate and continued, "Lu Zong and Lu Shizi were ordered to explore the flowers and marry the third princess. Recently, the emperor even intended to let Lu Shizi and the third princess get married earlier.
But Lu Shizi has someone else in his heart, and he is devoted to ...... Princess! ”
"What, it can't be!" Li Laosi stood up in annoyance, "He is as old as Jiaren, and the elder Fu Niu'er is in his teens!" Who gave him the courage to dare to worry about Fu Niu'er! ”
He was really angry, and as he spoke, his right hand had already pressed the waist knife.
If Lu Zong is in front of him, I'm afraid that his head and neck will be separated immediately!
Hou Ye's face was also as black as the bottom of a pot, and his fists were clenched.
Before, he didn't think about Lu Zong, but the Li family and Le, there was no intrigue, wives and concubines competing for favor or incompatible things, and Jiayin was naturally raised with simple joy.
A family like the Lu family, whoever marries in it is destined to bother. And the Lu family is too far away, and neither he nor the Li family can bear to marry Jiayin.
