Chapter 34: Concealment
Two officials pushed the cart and followed behind Li Xing and Li Gou'er.
Li Gou'er suddenly touched Li Xing and whispered, "Young Master, the person dressed as an old peasant in the crowd on the right has followed me before." ”
Li Xing nodded inadvertently and glanced at the two officials behind him.
The two of them understood in seconds, deliberately pushing the cart and pressing it on a dirt pit.
The cart jolted, and the people inside fell directly to the ground.
When the two of them were carrying, they were careless and didn't cooperate well, and the person's juniors leaked out again.
"Can you two be professional, people are dying, and you are still tossing like this, if you are really dead, you two are murders."
After the two officials put the people on the cart and covered them with white cloths, Li Xing angrily kicked the two of them and one of them.
The two hurriedly confessed, but in fact, they were overjoyed.
It was another man and a foot, and a total of one tael of silver in hand.
Sure enough, after seeing the people on the board car clearly, the person dressed as an old farmer quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Li Xing was a little glad that he had developed a cautious habit in the past eight years, otherwise he would really be discovered by Master Liu.
This Master Liu is really more cautious than he imagined.
returned to the county government and invited Lang Zhong to come for diagnosis and treatment.
Originally, Steward Liu was knocked unconscious, and he hadn't eaten much in the past two days, so after Lang Zhong checked his pulse, he said that he was hungry, prescribed a few more doses of medicine and left.
From this day on, Li Xing had an extra follower named Liu Bu by his side.
And the identity of this willow is not, everyone knows that it is a homeless person rescued from the morgue by the county magistrate.
The people praised the benevolence of the county magistrate.
Of course, in this process, he also scolded the county lord for not being a thing, and even encouraged grain merchants to raise grain prices.
Of course, the news that the county and the grain merchants were raising grain prices was also secretly spread by Li Xing.
Two days later, the official in charge of keeping an eye on the grain store came back to report.
Speaking of the gates of various grain stores, there are suddenly many people with foreign accents today, and they are all inquiring about the price of grain.
Li Xing smiled, knowing that his layout was about to be completed, he was almost on fire.
So Li Xing asked people to invite Jiang Hong and asked him to arrange for someone to go to those grain merchants today to buy it at a price of 1,200 yuan.
"Lao Li, this will create an illusion for grain merchants, they will think that the county government does not have enough food, and they will definitely not reduce the price."
This is also the reason why Li Xing looked for Jiang Hong instead of Yang You.
Looking for Yang You, he guessed the intention, and things didn't seem so real.
Looking for Jiang Hong, those grain stores do not sell grain at a lower price, which will inevitably make a big noise.
The other grain merchants saw this, coupled with the people who were working hard outside the city.
They will be completely convinced that Lingwu is really short of food.
"There you go! I've already communicated with the family behind the grain merchant. ”
Li Xing casually perfunctory Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong did not doubt the authenticity of Li Xing's words, and after leaving, he hurriedly arranged for the officials to buy it.
After less than half an hour, a servant came to report that the man who was the chief catcher had a conflict with the owner of the grain store.
"The head catcher asked the little one to ask the adult, do you want to arrest someone?"
"Isn't it shameful enough to arrest someone? Notify the chief catcher, and everyone withdraws. ”
The goal has been achieved, and let the grain merchants from other places know that Lingwu is particularly short of grain, and the county can't buy it for 1,200 yuan.
If someone is arrested, then the rescue will make it back, and everyone will think that the government is oppressing people with power and dare not come?
When the official who reported the news left, Li Xing reacted.
With Jiang Hong's temperament, this kind of thing will not come to him at all.
Apparently he had thought of a reason for this.
"I really underestimated him."
Li Xing muttered, and then looked at Li Gou'er behind him: "You go and inform the other three masters except the Liu family, just say that this official has important things to discuss with them, let them arrive within an hour, otherwise they will bear the consequences." ”
"Yes, young master."
Li Gou'er left in response.
Liu didn't stand quietly behind Li Xing and didn't say a word.
Li Xing looked at him and asked, "It's been a few days, and you don't have anything else you want to tell me except what you explained before?" ”
Willow is not without a spirit.
As if thinking of something, he threw himself on his knees.
"The adults spared their lives, the matter of the extermination of Xihe Village, and the tricking of young adults to escape and arrest them to the mine, the villain was also involuntarily, all of them were ordered by Master Liu."
"If you can't help yourself, why did you hide it before?"
Li Xing asked.
Liu didn't slap himself, and said: "The villain is afraid, I'm afraid that after the adults find out, they will immediately go to investigate the iron mine, if it fails, the villain and the people of Liujia Village will die, I can't do this." ”
"Then why did you say it again today?"
Hearing Li Xing ask like this, Liu Bu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Master Li has no intention of pursuing it, and his life has been saved.
"Through the observation of the past few days, the little one found that the adult is not a reckless person, and just after listening to the adult's inquiry, the villain knows that the adult has insight into the truth of the matter, so he does not dare to hide it."
"You're a man who can talk."
Li Xing found that the ancients were really smart, but he didn't know why the ancients would be thought to be stupid in later generations?
They just limit their horizons because of the underdevelopment of science and technology, that's all.
"Do you know where the iron ore is?"
Liu Fei shook his head: "Don't dare to expire the adult, Master Liu is extremely careful in this matter, every time I send someone over, I will live in Yiyang Town, and there will be someone responsible for receiving those young adults." ”
"When you get to Yiyang Town, how do you connect?"
Although I didn't get a specific location, it was a very important clue.
As long as the iron ore is found, many mysteries can be solved.
"In the town, there is an Octagon Inn, after staying in it, as long as you put a green flag on the top of the inn, they will know that we have sent someone."
Liu didn't finish speaking, and told Li Xing all the code words he needed when he was connecting.
"My lord, I know all of this, and some of them are eavesdropping, I feel a little shocking, I wonder if adults want to listen?"
This made Li Xing speechless, this Liu is not, he is really good at it.
Now that he has said that, his interest has been aroused, how can there be no reason not to listen.
"If you don't want to say it in the future, don't start up, start up, whether I want to listen or not, you just have to finish it, understand?"
"Yes, my lord, little one."
Ryu didn't hurry up and tell a big secret he overheard.
