Chapter Ninety-Nine: Talking about the Past and Leaving for Jinyang

Yu Wenxiu pulled Chu Mofeng to sit on the steps on the side, looking at him with a pear blossom with rain, Chu Mofeng saw Yu Wenxiu suddenly crying, and he was at a loss for a while, so he had to comfort him: "Miss Yuwen, what's wrong with you, if you have something unhappy to say, maybe I can help you." ”

"It's useless, there are some things you can't help me. Yu Wenxiu shook his head and said slowly: "Since the last time we said goodbye to Yulin, I also left the ancestral house in Yulin soon after, these years in the rivers and lakes, and gradually learned the truth about the death of my father, my father is a loyal minister like Ling Zun, but Emperor Yang can't listen to the advice." I have visited many of my father's friends during his lifetime, but when I mention the matter of rehabilitating my father, these people either shirk or remain silent. ”

When mentioning Emperor Yang of Sui, Yuwenxiu's expression became a little hideous, and after wiping a handful of tears, he continued: "Our family and the Yuwenshu family at that time belonged to the same Xianbei clan, so I went to Yuwenshu and begged him to rehabilitate his father. ”

Chu Mofeng listened to what Yuwen Xiu had suffered over the years, and the anger in his heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time, "Miss Yuwen, it's not like I haven't thought about what you've done over the years, but you see that the current imperial court, if you really want to rehabilitate our fathers, the current imperial court can't do it, only to change the dynasty and let the new monarch of the new dynasty come forward to rehabilitate." ”

When Yu Wenxiu heard Chu Mofeng's words, he looked at him with surprise on his face and said, "Brother Chu, are you talking about rebellion?"

"Well, to be honest, our group settled in Jinyang at this time, and we have met a virtuous person according to my father's last wishes. Chu Mofeng nodded, not denying that he had already participated in the rebellion.

After Yu Wenxiu stood up and walked back and forth a few times, he suddenly realized: "I know who you are talking about, but don't you know if you are sure? If this person is like Yang Guang in the future, then wouldn't your actions today harm the whole world?"

"It is natural for Miss Yuwen to have scruples about him, and I had doubts about this person before, but with these years of interaction, I have found that this person is indeed a person worthy of assistance, as my father said. Hearing that Yuwen Xiu had some doubts, Chu Mofeng said his evaluation of Li Shimin, "If Miss Yuwen wants to confirm what I said is true, why don't you take this opportunity to return to Jinyang with me, I don't know what Miss Yuwen thinks?"

"I'll think about it, the amount of information received today is too large, and I'll give you an accurate answer tomorrow. After speaking, Yu Wenxiu turned around and walked towards the house, "Listen to what you mean, you have been busy for a long time since last night, let's go back to the house and rest first." ”

Looking at Yu Wenxiu's figure, Chu Mofeng didn't make a sound, at this time Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er walked up, looking at Chu Mofeng who was in a daze with curiosity, only to see Gu Zhen'er's eyes roll, and smiled slyly and said: "Don't look at it, if you look at it again, your eyes will fly over, if you really like her, why don't you catch up and make it clear, maybe as soon as the girl is moved, she will make a private agreement with you for life." ”

Hearing Gu Zhen'er's words, Chu Mofeng retracted his gaze, held his forehead with his hand and said: "I said Gu Nuxia, can you always think about these things about the love of men and women in your mind every day, Miss Yuwen's father and my father were colleagues and friends when they were alive, and she was the one in the ghost house when we went to Yulin before, and I don't have those non-distinguishing thoughts about others." ”

Gu Zhen'er saw Chu Mofeng's rebuttal, and was about to say something, but she felt a pain in the back of her head, and hurriedly turned around and looked at Liu Feiyan viciously and said, "Cousin, you beat me again, if you beat me again next time, I won't pay attention to you again after I go back." After speaking, he turned his head and no longer looked at Liu Feiyan as if he was angry.

Liu Feiyan knew that she was joking, so she didn't take it to heart, but said to Chu Mofeng with a sad face: "Brother Chu, there is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, let's discuss it together and see if we can come up with a complete plan." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, motioned for Liu Feiyan to continue, only to see Liu Feiyan speak: "If, I mean if Mrs. Chen, Sister Yu'er and Miss Yuwen decide to follow us, then the problem is, first of all, we must hire a carriage, I found that there is a horse in the courtyard of the Chen Mansion in addition to the horses of the three of us, which should be Miss Yuwen's, in this case, four horses and a carriage, the speed of travel will definitely not be very fast." ”

Seeing that Chu Mofeng just nodded and did not speak, Liu Feiyan lightly opened his lips and continued: "Then when you go out of the city gate, will Mrs. Chen be troubled by the soldiers guarding the city because of Lord Chen? And if Guo Cheng knows that Mrs. Chen has left the Chen Mansion, will he come to stop him because of Zhang Lun's matter? If we choose to go out of the city, the four of us don't care, I'm afraid that it will affect Mrs. Chen and Sister Yu'er." So let's take advantage of tomorrow's pre-arrival to make sure we come up with a plan. ”

After listening to Liu Feiyan's words, Chu Mofeng pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, we have to ensure their safety, and we can only ride in pairs when necessary, and this time we have to go from the south gate of Yanmen County through Hutuoshui to reach Taiyuan, this road is not very peaceful, so I suggest that we take the first half by land, and after arriving at Loufu County, we can return to Taiyuan from Fenshui by water." ”

"You and my horses can withstand long journeys, but Zhen'er's horse and Miss Yuwen's seem to be just ordinary horses, and it's a bit reluctant to ride a couple. Hearing that Chu Mofeng said that he wanted to ride a pair, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but worry.

Looking up at the sky and finding that it was still early, Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the street to find a way to find two good horses, and you and Zhen'er are responsible for the safety of the Chen Mansion here." Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er nodded when they heard this, and then Chu Mofeng turned around and left the Chen Mansion.

After coming to the street, Chu Mofeng found a passer-by and inquired about the place where the horses were sold, and then hurried over according to the instructions.

There is a place in the north of Yanmen County that specializes in the sale of horses, the locals call it the horse market, the horse market is controlled by a middle-aged man surnamed Song for a long time, all horse transactions can not be carried out if not with the permission of this person, although this person takes a cut from every business, but he sets the rule is to only draw ten yuan, which is also respected by the horse sellers, and over time people forget his name, just affectionately call him Song Ye.

It is said that the origin of this person is unknown, but he never looks at the face of the government to act, once the captain Zhang Lun came to the horse market to collect taxes privately, and was beaten out by Song Ye's people with a stick, and then the county Cheng Chen Xiaoyi learned of the incident, but personally came to apologize, and everyone talked about Song Ye may be because of someone in the court, so he is so unsympathetic.

At this time, the horse market was opened, Song Ye sat at the door of his shop, holding a pot of tea lazily looking at the deserted street, and after a while, two men with horses came in at the gate, and the people came to Song Ye in a regular manner, first respectfully said hello, and then paid the deposit and received the number plate, led the horse to find a good position and began to wait for the guests to come to the door.

Song Ye looked at the horses of the two, smiled disdainfully, and thought that none of these horses could catch the eye, and it was okay for ordinary big families to use them as mounts, but if they wanted to travel long distances, it was really impossible.

When he was slandering, another man came to the door, leading a horse with snow-white limbs behind him, Song Ye only glanced at it, and instantly gasped, and couldn't help but say secretly: "Good horse, indeed a good horse." ”

I saw that the man walked up to Song Ye, bowed his head and said hello, then took out the deposit from his arms and prepared to receive the number plate, Song Ye saw this and said to his subordinates: "Don't take his deposit, I want this horse, ask him how much he wants to sell?"

Hearing this, the man made a big salute to Song Ye and said: "Song Ye, the villain wants to sell half of the money, and the old mother at home is sick, so the villain has no choice but to take out the horse and sell it, hoping to get the money to treat the old mother." ”

"Yes, filial piety is commendable. Hearing this, Song Ye nodded at the man, then turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Go to the account and give him the money." ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly ran to the account room to withdraw the money, and when the man heard that Song Ye was going to pay the consistent money, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Song Ye can't help this, how can the villain accept your consistent money." ”

"Filial piety comes first, since you are a filial son and know how to sell horses to the old mother for medical treatment, then for your filial piety, I will also pay you the usual money, can't you buy some supplements for the old man to make up for his body after seeing the illness?" Song Ye smiled at this person, took the consistent money handed by his subordinates and stuffed it into the man's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go quickly, the old man's illness cannot be delayed." ”

The man took the money, knelt down and kowtowed to Song Ye and said: "The villain has thanked Song Ye, your great kindness and great virtue and the villain have to be repaid for being a cow and a horse, and after the old mother's health improves, the villain will be sent by Song Ye before and after the saddle." ”

"Go ahead, it doesn't have to be this way. After helping this person up, Song Ye motioned to his subordinates to send him out, and then sat down by himself, continuing to look out of the door with a teapot.

As time went by, the horse market came one after another a few horse sellers, during which Song Ye received a few good horses that he thought were good, and he was about to rest after a long time, when he suddenly found a young man walking in at the gate of the horse market.

After this person walked into the horse market, he was looking around aimlessly, Song Ye knew that he was a new hand who came to buy a horse when he saw this person's situation, and he was worried about the dagger on this person's waist, and he wanted to have a good time, so he instructed his subordinates to invite this person to his shop.

Chu Mofeng came to the horse market and was picking horses, and a man dressed as a servant walked beside him, clasped his fists at Chu Mofeng and said, "This brother, our master invites you to enter the store for a while, I don't know if you can enjoy it?"

"Do you have horses for sale? I want to buy two good horses, if not, then please forgive me for not being able to accompany them." Looking at the man in front of him, Chu Mofeng said coldly.

The servant couldn't help laughing when he heard Chu Mofeng's words, joke, who doesn't know that the entire horse market is Song Ye's territory, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no horse, it is estimated that this kid is a foreigner, and he doesn't know the situation here at all, thinking of this, this person said to Chu Mofeng: "Brother, please rest assured, my master is the biggest horse dealer here, and there are good horses in the store for you to choose." ”

As soon as Chu Mofeng heard that there was a good horse, he hurriedly followed this person to Song Ye's shop, only to see Song Ye get up and say with a smile: "I just saw that the guest officer was dignified, I think it must be a person who is either rich or noble, I don't know what kind of horse you want to choose?"

"You're the shopkeeper, I want to buy two good horses that can travel long distances, I wonder if you can recommend one or two?"

"Cheng, but is this price......" Song Ye heard that this person was going to buy horses, and remembered that the horses he had collected before could be sold to this person, so he stretched out his thumb and index finger and twisted back and forth.

"Money is not an issue, the important thing is that the horse is good. When Chu Mofeng heard the shopkeeper's question of raising the price with him, he thought to himself, Master, I bought a horse to escape for my life, and compared with life, money is certainly not a problem.

"Cheerful, then please follow me to the backyard to choose a horse. When Song Ye heard this person speak, he couldn't help but be happy, and then led Chu Mofeng to the backyard and carefully introduced him to the horses and horses he had acquired.

Soon, Chu Mofeng chose two horses, one white and one black, only to hear Song Ye speak: "Guest officer, you have a really good eye, these two batches were only collected by me today, and they are worth a total of two yuan, do you think you can accept it?"

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he nodded and said, "Then let's go to the front account room to pay the account, and then I will take the horse away." ”

The two returned to the house, Song Ye motioned for Chu Mofeng to sit down, and at this time, a subordinate had already walked over with a tray, which meant that the money to buy a horse could be put directly on the tray, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, thinking that this horse market in Yanmen County really has many rules, and then reached out to take out the money in his arms.

When he took out two pieces of money and put them on the tray, he accidentally brought out the jade pendant that Xuanji gave him, Chu Mofeng picked up the jade pendant from the tray when he saw this, and was about to put it back in his arms, but who knew that Song Ye on the side saw this jade pendant with a surprised expression on his face.

Then he ordered his subordinates to retreat temporarily, walked straight to Chu Mofeng and said, "Can the guest officer lend me the jade pendant just now?"

"Oh, the shopkeeper also has some knowledge of jade pendants?" Chu Mofeng handed the jade pendant to Song Ye's hand with curiosity and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by my sister, and it is not a precious jade. ”

Song Ye picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time, then handed the jade pendant back to Chu Mofeng, and asked softly: "I don't know if the guest officer's sister is ......"

"Song Xuanji, the new generation of the big shopkeeper of the Lingnan Song family, does the shopkeeper know my sister?" Chu Mofeng saw that Song Ye's expression was a little unnatural, and hurriedly said Xuanji's name.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Song Ye kneeling down in front of Chu Mofeng and said, "Lingnan Song Family Yanmen Branch Song Mocheng has seen the big shopkeeper. I don't know if the big shopkeeper is far away from coming, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

As soon as Chu Mofeng saw this person kneeling down, he hurriedly got up and helped him up and said, "I'm not your big shopkeeper, you don't have to make this big gift, I can't afford it." ”

"Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the big shopkeeper in person, the ceremony cannot be abolished. Song Mocheng hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I don't know if you came to buy a horse, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, I don't know what you did when you came to Yanmen this time?"

Chu Mofeng thought that he would still say half and leave half, so he told Chen Xiaoyi's matter, only saying that he had inherited his love, and when he learned of his death, he had the heart to take his family members to Jinyang for settlement.

Song Mocheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said to Chu Mofeng: "You can rest assured that the big shopkeeper can rest assured, tomorrow morning, the convoy of the villain's business in the city will go to Jinyang, and the villain can arrange people into the convoy, so that there will be no problems." ”

Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, thinking that this is really a mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and there is another village, and he is thinking about how to transport people out of the city, so he has come to support himself. Thinking of this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Then tomorrow's matter will be the shopkeeper of Lao Song." ”

"What are you talking about, the villain only hopes that you can mention the villain in front of the big shopkeeper and be content. Song Mocheng thought to himself, if this little thing is not done well, then it is estimated that the matter of transferring him back to Lingnan will be hopeless in this life.

Chu Mofeng happily led the horse out of the horse market, before leaving, Song Mocheng insisted on returning the two pieces of money to Chu Mofeng, looking at Chu Mofeng's departing figure, Song Mocheng couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this thing he did today was both helpful and sold, as long as this person went back to give him a few good words, then he could return to Lingnan to do things this year.

Thinking of this, Song Mocheng instantly returned to his original posture of Song Ye, and instructed his subordinates to hurry up to his business to buy another carriage, and instructed his subordinates to be as low-key as possible, and not to be extravagant and extravagant.

Chu Mofeng led the horse back to Chen's mansion, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er saw him coming back with two good horses, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Chu Mofeng told the two of them about the matter, and the two couldn't help but be happy when they heard it.

During the dinner in the evening, Chu Mofeng said that he had changed the horse for Yu Wenxiu, but he didn't say a word about leaving Yanmen, and after eating in a hurry, Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er returned to the room and each took out their weapons and wiped them carefully.

At this time, there were three crisp knocks outside Chu Mofeng's door, Chu Mofeng stopped what he was doing and looked up and asked, "Who?"

I only heard Yu Wenxiu's voice coming from outside the door: "Brother Chu is me, are you sleeping?"

Walking up and opening the door, he saw Yu Wenxiu standing outside the door prettyly, and after welcoming her into the house, Chu Mofeng poured a glass of water and put it in front of her, and then sat aside and wiped his weapon.

Yu Wenxiu was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "Brother Chu, I will go with you tomorrow, as for my aunt and sister Yu'er, I still need you to ask their opinions tomorrow." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't force them to do things they don't want to do, after all, Lord Chen is a good official and a loyal minister, and I definitely won't do anything I shouldn't do." Then Chu Mofeng looked up at Yuwen Xiu's handsome face and said, "Yuwen girl, I don't know what weapon you use, but it's best to prepare, who knows what will happen tomorrow." ”

Yu Wenxiu drank all the water in the cup, nodded and got up and left Chu Mofeng's house, returned to his room, took out two strangely shaped knives, picked up the cloth and dipped it in water and wiped it little by little.

In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Chen took Chen Yu'er to Chu Mofeng's door early, at this time Chu Mofeng had already gotten up and cleaned up, opened the door and found Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter standing outside the door, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't know if Mrs. came so early because she had a decision in her heart?"

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "I think about it, since the master has been buried and the revenge has been avenged, then our mother and daughter continue to live here can only increase the sadness, it is better to go to Jinyang with the young man." ”

Hearing that Mrs. Chen also agreed to accompany her, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Madame needs to hurry up and pack your bags at this moment, let's leave later." ”

Chu Mofeng instructed Gu Zhen'er and others to help Chen's mother and daughter pack up the gold and silver, and he ran to the horse market to find Song Mocheng, and instructed him to drive the carriage to wait outside the gate of Chen's mansion, while he hurried back to Chen's mansion.

After the Chen mother and daughter cleaned up, Song Mocheng's horse convoy also came to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and after putting the Chen mother and daughter's house on an inconspicuous carriage in the middle of the convoy, Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan, Gu Zhen'er and Yu Wenxiu turned over and ran towards the south city gate.

When they came to the south city gate, there were not many people in and out of the city gate at this time, and the four of them quickly passed the inventory except for Yanmen County, and then stood aside and waited for the arrival of the horse convoy, and after a while, a long convoy slowly came to the south city gate, and a group of soldiers guarding the city saw such a long horse convoy and hurriedly surrounded it, intending to make it difficult to mix some money.

I saw that the leader took out the usual money and put it on the table where the soldiers drank tea, and said with a smile: "Several officials, the villain is Song Ye's housekeeper, and this time these cloths and tea are going to Jinyang, and this money will buy some hot wine for the officials to warm up." ”

When everyone heard that it was Song Ye's convoy and had a consistent income, they hurriedly moved the horse away, waved their hands to let them go, and Chu Mofeng and the others outside the city gate couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that the carriage was slowly moving again. Thinking that this trip went so smoothly, it was indeed God's favor.

The four of them were about to turn their horses' heads and continue to move forward, only to hear Yu Wenxiu shouting from behind: "Brother Chu, the convoy has stopped again." ”

Chu Mofeng and the others hurriedly looked back when they heard this, only to see that the convoy that had just moved stopped for some reason, and Chu Mofeng, who was anxious in his heart, was about to rush forward to investigate, but was stopped by Yu Wenxiu beside him, and only heard Yu Wenxiu say: "Don't worry, let's see the situation." ”

It turned out that the convoy was about to continue moving forward, but a discordant voice came from behind him, which made the entire convoy of people startled, only to hear the person behind him say: "Slow, why did this convoy just let it go without even checking it? Is this how the garrison master taught you how to do things? Come on, give me a carload by car to check carefully." Don't take something out that you shouldn't have brought out. ”

Song Mocheng's housekeeper jumped out of the carriage with an impatient face, and walked towards the person who had just stopped him, thinking that who would dare to stop Song Ye's carriage, while thinking about it, he instructed the guy next to him to hurry back to the city and call Song Ye to come, looking at the figure of the guy in the distance, the housekeeper came to this person with a sigh of relief and said......

As the so-called Hades is good and difficult to deal with, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
