Nothing to say all the way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The crowd was divided into two groups, Li Yan and others in front, Liu Yunfeng and others in the back, riding along the official road for more than an hour, but it was safe.

The boy who had been following Sun Si could easily keep up with the slow riding speed of everyone on foot. When everyone saw it, they were secretly amazed.

Along the road, pedestrians or merchants, seeing the two groups of people in official uniforms or regular clothes, silent, seem to be all the way, but more like a stranger, although curious, but just far away from everyone.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Yan, who had been riding in the front, stopped Cai Zhuo and the others, and he turned the horse's head, rode back a few steps, came to Zhu Jian, and said, "Da Shizi, there is a tea shop in front, do you want to rest for a while?"

Zhu Jian nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

In a few moments, everyone came to the tea shop and dismounted.

After Sun Dinghong got out of the car, Sun Si stepped forward and hugged Sun Dinghong, and asked in a low voice: "Second grandfather, those people let us rest here, do you think, will anyone ...... here?"

Sun Dinghong smiled and said, "Si girl, you are really too alert." With Grandpa and a few of you here, how many people do you think will poison us in front of us?"

Sun Si blushed and said, "Didn't I listen to you say it so seriously, do you want to keep an eye on it?"

Seeing everyone coming, Dr. Tea in the tea shop hurriedly stepped forward, first greeted Li Yan and others in official uniforms with a smile: "A few officials, please take a seat, please take a seat!

Turning his head, seeing that Liu Yunfeng and his party were all majestic and extraordinary, Dr. Tea hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, and led everyone to sit down at the tea table, secretly playing drums in his heart.

Li Yan and the others sat in one place, and Liu Yunfeng and the others naturally sat in the other place, each silent.

After Dr. Tea delivered the tea to the table, Liu Yunfeng and his party first looked at Sun Dinghong. Seeing Sun Dinghong's side, Sun Si nodded, and everyone picked up the tea bowl.

There were still a few tea customers in the tea shop, and when they saw the strange behavior of this group, they hurriedly paid for the tea and got up to leave.

One of the scholars, who was carrying a book, stumbled under his feet and almost fell when he passed by Liu Yunfeng and others.

When Li Yan and the others saw this, they all looked over, but the scholar had already straightened up and left.

Li Yan and the others saw that the scholar did not have any intersection with Liu Yunfeng and the others, and Liu Yunfeng and his party did not have any abnormalities, so they turned their heads again.

Everyone was silently drinking tea, and there was a shout of "driving, driving, driving" in the distance.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the direction where the sound came, and saw two fast horses galloping in the distance.

When they arrived more than ten feet away from the tea shop, the two knights on the horse turned over and dismounted, took the horses in their hands, and walked quickly towards the tea shop.

Liu Yunfeng and the others glanced at each other, remained silent, and continued to drink tea.

Cai Zhuo, who was at the other table, put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up, walked outside the tea shed, and stared at the two people who walked over.

The two knights walked to a distance of more than ten meters from the tea shop and stood still, shouting: "Dare to ask the other side, but the Qingyun Village Liu Master Liu Daxia is in person?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and saw two knights, all dressed in short clothes and with dark skin. The arms, calves, and head and neck exposed on the outside of the shirt looked shiny and slippery.

The man who shouted and the other man standing beside him were very stout.

Zhu Jian said in a low voice: "It's a man who begs for a life on the water." ”

Liu Yunfeng nodded, and before he could speak, Cai Zhuo shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you waiting for?"

Seeing Cai Zhuo replying, the man who shouted hurriedly said, "May I ask the official, but Qingyun Zhai Liu is in charge?"

Cai Zhuo said angrily: "Since you know that this official is an official of the imperial court, how can it be Liu Yunfeng?"

The man hurriedly said: "Official, please forgive the little clumsiness." I heard that Qingyunzhai has been returned to the imperial court. The little one thought that the official was Liu Daxia. ”

Cai Zhuo was about to get angry again, Liu Yunfeng exchanged a look with Zhu Jian and the others, stood up, and said, "Down there is Liu Yunfeng." ”

The man was busy arching his hand to Cai Zhuo again, turned to Liu Yunfeng, and then said to Liu Yunfeng: "Liu Daxia!"

Seeing that the man handed over the reins of the horse to his companions and walked towards Liu Yunfeng, Cai Zhuo glanced back at Li Yan.

Seeing Li Yan wink, Cai Zhuo snorted angrily and walked back to the tea table and sat down, but he was still eyeing the man.

Liu Yunfeng asked, "Who is Your Excellency, and what is the matter with me?"

The man walked a few steps away from Liu Yunfeng and stood still, clasped his fists at Liu Yunfeng and said, "Liu Daxia, whose name is Ding Sheng, is the hall master of the Yushui Gang here. The leader of this gang happened to come here these days. Hearing that Liu Daxia passed through here, the owner of the You Gang specially sent to meet him, and asked Liu Daxia to go to the branch hall in front of the Gang, so that I could wait for the friendship of the landlord. ”

Liu Yunfeng snorted and said, "Master Ding, please reply to your gang leader, Liu Yunfeng has something important to do today, and it is inconvenient to bother." Please thank you for your kindness on my behalf. ”

The man called Ding Sheng heard this, and hurriedly said: "Liu Daxia, the leader of our gang made it clear that Liu Daxia must be invited to go on this trip." You Gang Leader said that if Liu Daxia refuses this time, I am afraid that it will be a regret in the future. ”

Liu Daxia frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said, "In this case, please wait for a while, and let me discuss and discuss." Then he sat down.

Ding Sheng didn't say much, turned around and walked back to his companion, took the reins of the horse again, and held it in his hand.

After Liu Yunfeng sat down, Dugu Han, who was sitting at the same table, said in a low voice: "Big brother, the person who came is not good!"

Seeing that Liu Yunfeng nodded slightly, Zhu Jian asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, where is this Yushui Gang coming from?"

Liu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to say more at this time. In short, this Yushui Gang and my Qingyun Village are friends and foes. After speaking, he made a color to Zhu Jian.

Zhu Jian stood up, walked to the table of Li Yan and the others, and said, "Deputy Envoy Li, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Yan replied with a serious face: "Since the eldest prince has come to ask questions, presumably Liu Dangjia is preparing to take this trip? If someone along the road invites us, we will stop, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient. ”

Zhu Jian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back to the people and let them leave on their own." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Without waiting for Zhu Jian to take a step, Cai Zhuo hurriedly said: "Da Shizi, it is almost noon at this time, and it is also lunch time. If this branch of the Water Gang happens to be on the way, we might as well go together, have lunch, and then move again. Big brother, what do you think?" The second half of the sentence was asked to Li Yan.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay." We are not unkind people. Since the other party is here, I sincerely invite you, so if you stop by, let's go together. ”

When Zhu Jian heard this, he smiled again, said no more, turned around and walked back to Liu Yunfeng, and nodded to Liu Yunfeng with a smile. There was no smile in his eyes.

Liu Yunfeng saw it clearly, stood up again, and said to Ding Sheng: "Master Ding, since this is the case, please lead the way." It's just that we and the rest of the group are all fellow travelers. I wonder if it would be too disturbing if we went together?"

Ding Sheng hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Where is Liu Daxia? Please don't shirk it! Everyone, please!"

After that, Ding Sheng and another man turned over and rode their horses to stand on the side of the road, waiting for everyone to go on the road.

Everyone called Dr. Tea to come over, and wanted to settle the tea money, but Dr. Tea dared to accept it, and hurriedly said: "It is the honor of the small shop to have distinguished guests. Where can I collect the tea money from all the distinguished guests?"

Li Yan made a color, Cai Zhuo threw a small silver coin on the table, and said, "If you want to accept it, you can accept it, where is there so much nonsense?!"

After everyone got on the horse and the car, Ding Sheng and the accompanying man took the reins of the horse lightly and walked slowly in front. Li Yan and others followed. Liu Yunfeng and others are lagging behind as usual.

Zhu Jian gently lifted the horse, walked side by side with Liu Yunfeng, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, I tested Li Yan and the others just now. Their reactions are not quite normal. Cai Zhuo seemed to want us to go. What is the origin of this Water Guard?"

Liu Yunfeng hummed softly and said, "Third Brother Zhu, this matter is definitely not as Ding Sheng said, the You Gang Leader of the Imperial Water Gang happened to come here. The power of the Water Guards on the water is extremely large. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, almost all the merchant ships and various ships on the main waterways are controlled by the Imperial Water Gang, either openly or secretly. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunfeng lowered his voice and said, "Especially the money and grain transfer ship of the imperial court. ”

Zhu Jian frowned lightly and asked, "Why is it that my second brother and I are in the Six Gates, and we have never heard of this Imperial Water Gang, the grain transport ship, Brother Liu, do you mean that this Imperial Water Gang is doing tricks on the money and grain of the imperial court?"

Liu Yunfeng snorted softly and said, "The Imperial Water Gang is huge, and it has colluded with many people in the government and wealthy businessmen. Once something happens, someone will naturally cover it up for them. It is not surprising that the news did not reach the ears of the two brothers. Most of the money and grain movement of the imperial court from south to north was carried out by waterway. The Water Guards have a lot of hands and feet to move from. ”

Zhu Jian's face sank and said, "Money and grain are the foundation of the country. Could it be that the officials along the road are also so bold that they dare to hide all these things for the Imperial Water Gang? Brother Liu, does this Imperial Water Gang have anything to do with Qingyun Village? Who is the leader of this You Gang?

Liu Yunfeng first sneered and said: "The imperial court transfers money and grain, and there are a lot of cats in it. For example, when the food for disaster relief really reaches the hands of the victims, it is often the grain that rises to the sand. The grain corresponding to one liter of sand was divided among those officials and people like this water gang. I'm afraid that more than half of the income of the Yushui Gang has gone into the pockets of these officials. After receiving the benefits of the Yushui Gang, these officials naturally had to cover up for them. ”

Seeing the angry look on Zhu Jian's face, Liu Yunfeng's face also became a little solemn, and he said: "Three years ago, the Yushui Gang once stole a batch of grain for disaster relief, which amounted to nearly five thousand stones. After learning about it by accident, I Qingyunzhai secretly intercepted the grain and distributed it to the victims. Although this matter is done secretly, it is inevitable that there will be no rumors to reach the ears of the Yushui Gang. Moreover, Wu Jidong is now betraying the village, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not deliberately leak this news to the Yushui Gang. ”

Zhu Jian nodded in agreement, but his face became even more gloomy.

Liu Yunfeng continued: "As for the leader of the You Gang, his name is You Guanliu, and he is around sixty years old. This man has been in charge of the Water Guards for more than twenty years. The main altar of the Yushui Gang is in the Hongzhou area, and this person is said to be in the main altar all year round. ”

Zhu Jian frowned lightly and said, "According to what the eldest brother said, the Yushui Gang is indeed friends and enemies with Qingyunzhai. Hongzhou is hundreds of miles away. If this especially Guanliu is here on purpose, I am afraid that the plan is not shallow. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian asked again: "Brother Liu, how is this You Guanliu?"

Liu Yunfeng shook his head and replied, "You Guanliu has been in charge of the Water Conservancy Gang for more than twenty years, and no one in my Qingyun Village has ever seen him make a move. can be in charge of such a large gang, this person's means must not be bad. Moreover, there are two deputy gang leaders and three Dharma protectors under You Guanliu, and the kung fu under his hands is not weak. ”

Zhu Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, in this way, the other party may make a move later?"

Liu Yunfeng also pondered for a moment and replied, "Whether the other party will do it or not, it's hard to say now." In short, since You Guanliu has traveled all the way here to wait for us, things will never be as simple as Ding Sheng said. ”

Liu Yunfeng and Zhu Jian asked questions in a low voice here, and everyone around them also listened hard.

Liu Yunfeng and his party didn't notice that Li Yan, Cai Zhuo and others, who were following Ding Sheng, exchanged glances with each other, and there was a faint look in their eyes.

And the man called Ding Sheng also glanced back at Liu Yunfeng and the others halfway, but there was a trace of indescribable taste in his eyes.
