Chapter 108: Wait for Lu Nanfeng to come back
Lu Nanfeng went out of the window, and Xuan Wu also appeared, "We found a hole in Iron Mouse Mountain that is very suspicious, we don't dare to act rashly."
This is good news.
As long as they find the stronghold of those people, they will be able to serve them in one nest.
Lu Nanfeng didn't expect Meng Zhiyi's map to be so useful, so without saying a word, he left Meng Mansion with Xuan Wu, "Let's go."
Meng Zhiyi slept really soundly this night, and when he woke up, he found that the position around him had already been cold, and he was still a little lost in his heart.
However, she blames this as a matter of habit.
"Winter solstice, I want to drink some water."
"Huh." The winter solstice answered outside, and after a while, he brought a cup of hot tea, lifted the curtain and sent it in.
Dong Solstice glanced around and whispered, "Uncle doesn't know when he left again."
Meng Zhiyi took a sip of hot tea and did not answer.
Winter Solstice: "The White Tree has returned."
Meng Zhiyi finally reacted, "Why is he so fast?"
Dong Solstice shook his head, "I don't know, Bai Shao delivered me the news in the afternoon."
Meng Zhiyi thought for a moment, and then said, "What's going on on on the dock lately?"
"The girl is really smart, I was about to tell you. In the afternoon, Zhang's escort came to visit, and Zhou's account book came to him and said that recently, there were several ships of the Zhou family whose goods were very suspicious. Guards Zhang went to check on it, and those were grain and salt."
"Where did it go?"
"It was supposed to be a warehouse on the other side of the docks. I heard that in the afternoon, Zhou Gongzi directly sent someone to transport it to the granary near Xu's house. Zhou Gongzi didn't care about the Xu family, but he actually gave them food and salt to make amends."
At this time, what the Xu family needs more is these. Zhou Yongheng is simply a charcoal in the snow.
"Keep an eye on the Xu family and see where they will send this grain and salt."
"Don't worry, girl, Guard Zhang has already gone to let people watch."
The people below don't need Meng Zhiyi to say much now, they all already know what they should do.
"Knowing." Meng Xing's voice sounded from outside.
Meng Zhiyi glanced at it, and let Dong Solstice go out to greet her first, while she got dressed.
Meng Xing was sitting outside drinking tea, and when he saw Meng Zhiyi coming out, he hurriedly said, "I received news from various places this afternoon that the grain of several rice banks has been snapped up. Moreover, those in charge found that although the people who bought the grain had different identities and went at different times, they all seemed to be working for the same person." Z.br>
"How do they know they're working for the same person?"
"You don't know this, like those stewards in our rice shop, who buys rice, and which family buys how much at intervals, most of them have a number in their hearts. This sudden appearance of the person is obviously not from the city, and the amount of money he bought is about the same, so it is naturally doubtful."
"What do you think they are doing with all of this sudden buying so much food? Could it be the Zhou family? Today, I heard from the people on the dock that Zhou Yongheng also brought back a few boatloads of grain."
Meng Xing kept thinking about this on the way here, "No, I think it's dangerous."
When he said this, he subconsciously looked behind the screen in the middle of his eyes, "What about Lu Nanfeng?"
"He's not here."
"When he comes back, I need to talk to Lu Nanfeng."
Meng Zhiyi frowned, "Did Dad find something?"
Meng Xing's face was indeed ugly and difficult to hide, "Zhiyi, why don't you take your mother, sister, and grandmother out to play."
From the day when Meng Zhiyi handed over the map to him, Meng Xing's heart was uneasy.
As he was talking, he saw Aoyama standing in the courtyard, "Master, a few salt merchants in the shop want to see you."
Meng Xing stood up, "You think about what I said."
Meng Zhiyi did not refuse this time and nodded.
Following.
Meng Zhiyi was also waiting for Lu Nanfeng to come back, originally thought that he would always come back to see it at night, but he didn't expect the dawn and didn't see his people.
Meng Zhiyi yawned, and after washing up, he went to the door, and Zhang Huwei was already standing straight in the courtyard.
"Guard Zhang, why don't you stand outside the courtyard?" Meng Zhiyi was a little angry.
Zhang Huwei was stunned for a moment, and glanced outside, if he stood so far away, could the eldest lady hear herself? But the eldest lady must have a reason for saying this. So, Zhang escorted the outside of the courtyard.
Meng Zhiyi: "........"
"Come here." Meng Zhiyi's face darkened.
Escort Zhang came to the bottom of the stairs and stood still, "Miss." After a pause, he added, "The eldest lady wakes up so early in the morning."
Meng Zhiyi rolled his eyes, thinking that he would not be as knowledgeable as this rough man, "How is the Chunfeng Mansion over there?"
"There have been several infections, but the bustard has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and Qiao'er has also been infected with some infections, and she is worried that she will be killed by Feng Xianling. There is also the Xu family, Xu Chunrou has not made any moves, and has been in the house since falling into the water, maybe the news is hidden."
"Then give Qiao'er a way back and let her decide where to go when the time comes. And she took her little sisters with her, and added another hundred taels to them according to the three hundred taels of silver that had been before."
"Yes." Zhang Huwei glanced at Meng Zhiyi's not very good face, "Miss, do you need to call a doctor for you?" He saw that this was the winter solstice, and the girl should have gone to the kitchen.
"I'm fine." Meng Zhiyi turned his head and went into the house.
Until the afternoon, she didn't see anyone from Lu Nanfeng, which caused Meng Zhiyi to be in an extremely bad mood, of course, she wouldn't admit that it was all because of Lu Nanfeng.
Because he didn't have a good rest last night, Meng Zhiyi rested after lunch, was asleep, and was woken up by the winter solstice.
Under normal circumstances, the winter solstice will not disturb his rest, and the first thing Meng Zhiyi did when he woke up was to look around the house, and subconsciously asked, "Is Lu Nanfeng back?"
"Nope." Dong Solstice said in a low voice, "Guard Zhang is waiting outside, saying that there is news from the Iron Mouse Mountain."
"Well, let him in."
Dong Solstice came outside and motioned for Zhang Escort to come in, Zhang Escort hesitated, Dong Solstice was impatient, "The girl didn't sleep well, do you want the girl to come out to see you?"
Escort Zhang was startled, that can't be, walked two steps into the house, and came behind the screen, "Miss, there is movement on the other side of Iron Mouse Mountain, and our people saw two groups of people fighting."
"Who are they? Did you see Lu Nanfeng?"
"The boss has gone to see it, and there are two people whose martial arts moves are very similar to those who fought with him before, but I didn't see my uncle, those people are wearing black clothes and covering their faces."
If Meng Zhiyi could go there, he would definitely recognize it.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Keep an eye out for Mouse Mountain and Iron Mouse Mountain, but don't expose them."
"Yes."
After Escort Zhang left, Meng Zhiyi got dressed and got up, and asked Dong Zhi to wrap himself in a two-layer cloak and wrap himself like a zongzi.
Winter Solstice was still tidying up her dress, "Girl, why do you have to go out? It was cold and wet outside, and the wind was blowing hard. If you go to see Bai Shu, let him come to the house."
"I'll go myself." Meng Zhiyi was stubborn and abnormal.
Dong Zhi glanced at Meng Zhiyi's not very good face, and didn't dare to speak again.
The cold wind was howling, and as soon as she went out, she was poured into her eyes by the cold wind, and a burst of dryness made her shiver.
Meng Zhiyi tightened the sleeve stove in his hand, lowered his eyes and walked out against the wind.
She went out the back door, rode in a carriage and walked down the alley, and soon came to a nondescript house. The winter solstice lifted the curtain, and the pervasive wind immediately came in, and Meng Zhiyi shivered again.
The winter solstice moved quickly, and he knocked on the wooden door three times first, and then turned around to help Meng Zhiyi.
A white-faced and handsome man soon came and opened the door, holding an umbrella in his hand, presumably wanting to give Meng Zhiyi
Wind-blocking.
Meng Zhiyi got out of the carriage and glanced at him, and the three of them walked into the house, leaving one person with his hands in the other sleeve, leaning on the wooden door frame and half-closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.
There was a large charcoal basin in the room, and the thick smoke made Meng Zhiyi frown.
Bai Shu said, "Miss, I only have this charcoal here."
Bai Shao also came out from the other direction, holding a few roasted sweet potatoes in his hands, "Don't dislike it, Miss, we rough people don't use charcoal, I heard that you are coming, I went to buy it."
Although Jiangnan City is damp and cold, when it is not really snowing, ordinary people in Pingtou will not buy charcoal fires for heating.
Meng Zhiyi took the sweet potato and sat down close to the charcoal basin, "Have you eaten?"
"Nope. Miss, why don't you ........" Bai Shu's words were interrupted by Bai Shao, and she glared, "You know how to cook?"
The two brothers and sisters really offered Meng Zhiyi as a golden branch and jade leaf, which made Meng Zhiyi feel a little uncomfortable, she was not so squeamish, and she was not in the Meng Mansion.
However, this trip is not for dinner, Meng Zhiyi warmed his hands, and then spoke, "You should have also received the news, there is something strange on the side of the Iron Mouse Mountain."
After Meng Zhiyi finished speaking, he looked at Bai Shao and Bai Shu.
Bai Shao's eyes flashed, but Bai Shu had a simple look.
Bai Shao said, "Did the eldest lady guess anything? I saw that the nursing homes raised by the Xu family and Zhou had quietly left the mansion tonight, and my people didn't dare to get too close, so I only knew that they went to the Cao Gang."
"It's hard not to notice such a big movement." Meng Zhiyi knew that Bai Shao had not yet been told, so he took the sweet potato peeled from the winter solstice and took a bite, and skipped the topic directly, "Does He Yang of Chunfeng Building have any handles?"
Bai Shao glanced at Bai Shu, and Bai Shu said, "He is much better than the Xu family, and the only weakness is his frail cousin. The eldest lady let those women dye Xu Chunrou, so it is better to start with his cousin."
"What's wrong with his cousin?"
Bai Shao: "Terminally ill, can't be cured, He Yang found many people, and for a period of time he didn't hesitate to use the blood of those women in Chunfeng Building to raise it."
"Then don't worry, leave these things to Qiao'er, you just need to watch it a little."
Bai Shao said again: "The eldest lady is too soft-hearted, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to pull out the Chunfeng Building."
