"Young Master Wen, are you back?"

Lingyu held the freshly cooled mung bean soup in both hands, and greeted Wen Chen, who had just entered the door, with a smile.

Before leaving, Jin Dong specially came to inform him, the saint is ready to clean up the eunuchs this time, and the case in Jiangnan Province is not intervened by Du Lun, and her father Yu Qian is estimated to be released soon.

In order to repay Wen Chen for saving his life, Lingyu has served this Wen Gongzi properly in the past few days, and ran to the room in the middle of the night to warm the quilt!

Knowing that Wen Chen likes stockings, he even changes the style to show him every day, the skirt is short and short, and the red sleeves on the side gradually smack his lips and shake his head.

Seeing that Wen Chen's interest was not high, Lingyu asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper Tan still doesn't let Gongzi see Second Miss?" ”

Wen Chen nodded listlessly, "Damn! This Tan Gang was really blinded by, master, I left his son alive at the beginning, and I didn't let me see my girlfriend, not to mention that when I arrived at Tan's Mansion today, I actually wanted to share business with Lao Tzu! ”

This is not the most angry for him, the most infuriating thing is Tan Feifei's mother and son, singing and rolling with themselves, putting the sin of Tan Feifei's short legs and infertility on his head!

said that he designed the steam engine before because he was premeditated to trap Tan Feifei's waste wood!

Wen Chen has been running to Tan Mansion a lot in the past two days, at least three times a day, and he is more punctual than eating, just to meet the second lady.

It's just that Tan Jiafang is more closely watched by him than thieves, climbing the wall and turning over the courtyard, and the tricks of dressing up and fooling around have all been used, and every time he was seen through by the Xue family on the spot and driven out of the gate, he was so angry that Wen Chen's teeth itched.

Fortunately, he spent five hundred taels of silver to buy off a family member who had a good relationship before, and asked this person to pass a few words to Tan Yuanyuan for himself, and learned that the second miss was fine, but after suffering some grievances, he was slightly relieved.

Red Sleeves turned around the wicker in his hand, and walked forward with a twist of his buttocks, "How about stinky brother, do you want your sister-in-law to help you snatch your daughter-in-law back?" ”

Wen Chen inadvertently looked at the white lace edge exposed at the corner of her skirt, and swallowed calmly.

"If it doesn't make sense, you can only use robbing!"

He has instructed his takeaway guys to take paid leave for these two days, suspend all business, and cut off the Tan family's financial resources first, so that Tan Gang couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to come to him to negotiate terms.

The only unstable factor is Ma Qingshan's uncle and nephew.

After Emperor Jingren left, no one pressed this goods, and he became the soil emperor of Qingcheng again.

Coupled with the two stinky chess baskets of the Xue woman, you can't keep the two sides willing, and make trouble for him.

At this time, Li Youcai ran in from outside the door in a hurry, his head was full of beads of sweat, and when he saw the mung bean soup in Lingyu's hand, he snatched it and poured it into his stomach.

It took a while to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Gongzi Wen, it's not good, it's not good......"

Wen Chen frowned, "What's going on, say it slowly." ”

Li Youcai patted his chest and gasped, "The batch of medicinal materials that Lao Li helped you order in the field before is in ...... On the way back, it was ...... Kidnapped! ”

Wen Chen was stunned, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just last night! Immediately about to enter the city, out of nowhere a group of bandits rushed out, grabbed the carriage and ran into the woods! Li Youcai sighed.

Wen Chen took a deep breath, his brows tightened more and more, this batch of medicinal materials was the consumables he prepared for brewing beer and the opening of the bathing center, for convenience, the purchase quantity was huge, and there were many types, almost half of the silver he had earned in the past two months, more than 10,000 taels!

If there is an accident with this batch of medicinal materials, the loss will be great!

"Were there any casualties among the brothers who delivered the goods?" Wen Chen turned his head and asked.

Li Youcai shook his head slightly, "Three minor injuries, basically no major problems." ”

"Have they been robbed of their belongings?"

"I haven't heard of it, those bandits have a clear goal, and they seem to have come specifically for medicinal herbs......

Wen Chen squinted his eyes, he specialized in robbing medicinal herbs, and came at me?

As the saying goes, only poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, Jiangnan Province is a prosperous and rich land, even if many people were affected by the flood last year, but the imperial court also allocated disaster relief funds, and most of the displaced people were properly resettled, so as not to force them to the point of falling into the grass.

And the purpose of this robbery is clear, only robbing drugs and not money, there is a high probability that someone got the news and deliberately made trouble for themselves!

However, the suspicion of Tan Fu can be ruled out first, if they want money, they can collude with Ma Qingshan to embarrass themselves, there is no need to risk killing their heads, pretending to be bandits to rob herbs.

And the most suspicious are Ma Qingshan and Ma Ruyi, the two uncles and nephews, these two goods have enough people under their hands, and they have a lot of grudges against themselves, and they have the motive to commit the crime, because they are official, and they don't have to worry about being arrested by the government!

Du Lun and the cloth merchants in Qingcheng who were jealous of their business also had a certain motive for committing the crime, but the old eunuch was punished, and it was unlikely that he would send his men to risk the crime.

The rest of the cloth merchants did not know much about the news of transporting medicinal materials, and the feasibility was not great......

"Lao Li, find a few clever ones and do a few things!" Wen Chen said in a deep voice.

"Young Master Wen, please command!" Li Youcai responded.

"Send a few eyeliners to keep an eye on them near the Taishou Mansion, and if you find that some of them are sneaking out of the city, come back and report immediately!"

"Let the wind go, there will be a batch of medicinal materials to Qingcheng tomorrow night, the bigger the movement, the better!"

"Also, tell someone to keep an eye on the pharmacy in the city, and if any of them have a large number of medicinal materials to buy, notify me immediately!"

"Fourth, didn't you give those takeaway guys a holiday recently? Pick a hundred brave and powerful ones, prepare sticks and other self-defense weapons, and be ready to stand by at any time! ”

Li Youcai was stunned and said in surprise, "Gongzi Wen wants to lead people to suppress bandits by himself?" ”

"Humph! Ma Qingshan can't be relied on now, eighty percent of this matter is his own ghost, we can't ask him! ”

"But ......"

"But what is it? Wait two more days, and the master's goods will be scattered! Wen Chen glared at the indecisive Li Youcai, this old Li has the courage to do business, but when it comes to hands-on, his courage is still too small!

Red Sleeves glanced at him with some surprise, as if he didn't expect Wen Chen to arrange the countermeasures in such a short period of time.

"You kid is brave enough to dare to take a group of ordinary people to suppress bandits, so you are not afraid that they will take your life?"

Wen Chen glanced at her, "Sister-in-law, do you know what is the most important thing about robbery?" ”

"Of course, it's a robbery!" Red Sleeves said nonchalantly.

"Wrong!" Wen Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his fingers, "It's Liwei!" ”

"And the best way for Liwei to use is to kill chickens and monkeys, so that you can successfully rob property, which bandit has you ever seen when robbing, even a person dare not kill?"

Red Sleeves was stunned, Li Youcai only said a few words about the news of being robbed, this kid was able to analyze so many heads!

"So you think that the gang that robbed the medicinal herbs is not the real bandits?"

"That's right, they are also afraid of a life lawsuit, most likely not to rob money, but to rob me!"
