Chapter 542 - Catch the Current (Plus Update)

King Wei leaned forward and paid attention: "Which family is involved in the spies!"

Ke Yanhua pursed his lips before he whispered: "It's the Yao family, the Queen Mother's family." ”

As soon as the words fell, King Wei's face sank. Did you actually find the Yao family? That is the mother family of the Queen Mother, and it is not easy to arrest all the women and children of the Yao Mansion for interrogation.

"Isn't there a black-waisted dog in Weili, and the owner who can't smell palm prints?"

"Tried it, but couldn't track it down. Ke Yanhua said cautiously, "I'm afraid I have to offend Lord Yao's family and ask them to come over and compare them with a palm print." ”

King Wei exhaled. At the critical moment, he couldn't care about his grandfather's reaction: "Go ahead, count the number of people, and then let them press the palm print...... Do it covertly, don't teach people to chew the root of their tongue everywhere. ”

"Yes. Ke Yanhua bowed and withdrew, but knew that this requirement could not be done at all. The wealthy family is a small circle, and a large number of people are called to press their handprints, how can this matter be hidden from others? Old man Yao's decency, this time he can't take care of it.

Before it got dark, the convoy arrived at the shelter and began to settle down. Although it was a sunny day on this day, the situation in the snowy mountains was complicated, if it weren't for the snow-swallowing beast running the road in front of it, where would the convoy move?

Even so, everyone was already exhausted, and as soon as the strength they had strengthened after reaching the col was gone, the people were about to fall apart.

Soon, smoke was billowing from the camp.

At night, as soon as the wife of the third steward brought back the meal, she saw her husband busy on the small desk, with a thick stack of books beside him.

Two oil lamps were lit, and his two bookkeepers were also here.

"It's time to eat!"

She greeted her, but the third steward didn't raise her head: "You eat first." The boss suddenly explained that it was urgent, and it had to be done now. ”

Looking at the appearance of the three of them, they are indeed in a hurry. She said curiously: "What is the earth-shattering event?" When she looked closer, the three of them were holding red pens and ticking circles on the book.

Although she didn't know a few big characters, this thing appeared very frequently in her husband's hands, and she still recognized it:

Books.

The names of the people brought out by the Yao family are all recorded here.

Since King Wei's westward retreat was an emergency, the Yao family urgently accompanied him, and only after he went on the road did he order a book to be made for management. This task is to be divided into the hands of the three stewards.

Since it is an account book, then what they sketch is the name of the person. The wife looked at it and felt a little uneasy for no reason: "What's wrong with these people, why are they specially marked out?"

The third steward sent her away: "It's none of your business, you don't care." ”

The wife happened to see the bookkeeper tick up a person's name, and was shocked: "Hey, what are you doing! Why did you tick my name!"

As soon as she turned around, she tugged at the sleeve of the third steward and prevented him from continuing to work: "Tell me clearly, is the chosen person going to be sacrificed to Shan Ze?

Frightened, she couldn't care less about it. At this time, the third steward blamed himself for too many things in the past, why did he teach her to recognize her own name?

He was so shaken that he couldn't put down his pen, and said helplessly: "Hey, this is explained by the above, and I want to turn over the female dependents and children aged ten to fifteen in the house and report them." ”

The wife was surprised: "What is the use of the daughter?"

"How do I know? The third steward sighed, "Madame's name has also been ticked, that's called treating everyone equally, where will I come to harm you!"

"Perhaps, the name of the person is to be selected by the top! Choose an unlucky bastard to be sacrificed alive!" the wife did not buy his account, "Of course the ladies and ladies will not be chosen, and the lord will not let them." It's probably us who will die!"

Thinking of this, she was even more frightened, and grabbed her husband's hand hard: "No, you can't report my name!"

"This, this ......" The three stewards who have always been loyal are a little embarrassed. The above did not explain the purpose of this list, what if it was really used to choose sacrifices? This woman next to her has a bad temper and looks ugly, but after all, he has been married for more than ten years, and he can't send her into the fire pit with his own hands.

The two of them were pulling, and neither of them noticed that there was a cat lying on the branch on the roof of the car, its fur was like ice and snow, and it was not easy to be spotted if it was motionless.

When it heard this, it lost interest, got up and stretched, and was about to jump out of the car, but saw several people coming here.

The cat stopped again. Hey, it seems that there is a lot of excitement to watch?

In the car, the third steward was so troubled by his wife that he had to wave his hand to the bookkeeper: "Get rid of her, get rid of her!"

These two bookkeepers were promoted by him, and he didn't say much when he heard the words, and directly erased her name.

The wife of the third steward finally let out a long breath.

But at this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted, and one of her most hated faces came in, and she said angrily: "Good, great." Huo Peng, you are abusing your power and deceiving your superiors and subordinates!"

This person is the second steward.

Huo Peng, the third steward, turned his head when he heard the sound, and his face suddenly turned like earth.

Oops.

This guy has always been at odds with him, and now he is holding on to his sore feet, and I'm afraid he won't give up.

This kind of civilian cart has no door, only a cotton curtain to block it, and the sound can be easily transmitted. The second steward walked in as soon as he bowed, still sneering: "How does the master treat you? You don't know about Entu, forget it, now you have to make him unable to do an errand, and you will cause Yao Mansion to be unlucky with you!"

The third steward hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "Oh, I'm just coaxing her, I can report how I want to report it when I turn around, how dare I hide it!"

The second steward snatched the book from the bookkeeper's hand, picked it up and looked at it twice, sneered, didn't argue with him, turned around and walked out.

The three stewards were in a hurry to stop it. He was fat, but the second steward was thin, and he didn't push him away after pushing him twice, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Are you dead people, just stand?"

The two little guys he brought woke up like a dream, and quickly rushed up and grabbed the three stewards. The wife of the third steward was shocked and angry, and slapped one of the little men in the face.

There was chaos in the carriage.

The second steward jumped down with the book, straightened the crooked hat first, and then took a big stride forward.

He's going to sue.

Soon, the two little guys also ran out, and the scolding of the three stewards came from the carriage, and the wife followed with a faint sob.

Several people in the car knew that something was wrong.

The second steward is right, he Huo Peng did cheat for personal gain. This has to be reported to the head of the Yao family, and the three stewards can't finish eating and walking.

Hearing this, the cat jumped off the tree and slipped back. However, it had only walked two feet out of the woods, and saw Yan Saburo leaning under a dwarf pine, and opened his hands to it.

Naturally, the cat jumped into his arms, resting its head on his shoulder and looking back: "Did you hear that?"
