Chapter 216: Faint Beast Distant Relative
"Master Huang, what's going on?" He Renzhi discovered the anomaly and reacted positively, "Are you familiar with Sang Motohara?"
"Could it be that you have a grudge against him? Tao Ziyun asked Master Huang with concern.
Master Huang tried to calm himself down: "I saw him a long time ago, but I wasn't familiar with him, so I didn't have any important dealings with him, so I didn't have any hatred. ”
Hu Xiongdie felt that everyone was worried: "So that's what you know!"
"I don't see him much, but I hear a lot. Master Huang briefly told everyone what he heard about Sang Motohara: "Sang Benyuan's father used to be a big official, and he also did business in addition to being an official, so he made a lot of money. Later, Sang Motohara inherited his father to do business, although he did not become an official, but to do official business, the sale of weapons, salt, steel, ginseng, tea and other military, government monopoly goods, he can enjoy the preferential policies of the government, has the monopoly of business, low-interest loans of the government, tax exemption privileges, etc., and later along the Silk Road, do silk business, the business to many places abroad. So we don't know where he has gone, but we didn't expect him to be not far from us now. ”
"His power and wealth at the beginning are terrifying! But I don't know how he is now living in seclusion?" Tao Ziyun was puzzled.
Master Huang said to Tao Ziyun enviously: "I don't know about these, now I have no power to explore these, you are young and capable, you can still go over and have a look, I hope you can figure out a little bit of his situation, so as to find out his mistake of Chen Zhenmang's protection, punish him, and give Hu Gongzi a peace." ”
"Master Huang has said so, let's go quickly, as soon as Master Huang is happy, he will say good things about me when he goes back. Miss Huang must have been happy to hear this. Tao Ziyun said proudly, and asked He Renzhi to catch the carriage: "Hu Gongzi's carriage is still here, and it can be used now." ”
"I said Tao Gongzi! I just drove another carriage over, and I was tied outside the gate. Hu Xiongdie reminded Tao Ziyun embarrassedly.
He Renzhi didn't stop, still walking in the direction of the stable: "Let's take two carriages separately! Your carriage is left here, and it is rare for you to keep it." ”
When Moss Yu came out and saw that they were about to leave the road, she immediately started nagging: "Dinner will be ready soon, why don't you go after dinner? Is there a golden house?
Faced with the number of mossy jade, Tao Ziyun replied casually: "Hi." There's nothing there, it's busy, and in the end it's all in vain. It is said that the time of life is precious, and we have to spend time like this, and we will go this time as a pastime. ”
Hu Xiongdie smiled and said to Tao Ziyun: "Hehe, Brother Tao said that he was joking, if you say this again, I am embarrassed to ask you to help me." I can't repay it at the moment. Although I don't have any ability, if Brother Tao encounters any trouble in the future, I will repay it with my heart. ”
Tao Ziyun hurriedly explained to Hu Xiongdie: "Brother, don't mind, she counts me down like that." I just said something casually so as not to make her even more angry. ”
Hearing Tao Ziyun's weak words, Moss Yu went back to the kitchen, but Tao Ansai also came out to speak: "You guys are going out." Then we'll save your food for supper!"
This is okay, Tao Ziyun also greeted his sister in a friendly way: "Whatever you want! ”
He Renzhi came over with the carriage that Hu Xiongdie had arrived in the morning, and Tao Ziyun got into the carriage. Hu Xiongdie and the scholar he brought caught up with a carriage in addition, and took advantage of the evening glow to rush to Hu Xiongdie's house.
Tao Ziyun said to Hu Xiongdie: "Let's go to your house first and leave the carriage in your mansion, because we can't take care of the carriage when we go up to the Suspicious Mountain." ”
Tao Ziyun thought thoughtfully, and Hu Xiongdie also had an extra heart: "Brother Tao is right, I also thought of it, after driving the carriage back to my house, we will take a few lanterns and set off again." ”
Tao Ziyun and a few of them entered the Hu Mansion, and they didn't stay for a moment, and came out with a few lanterns, but the lanterns were not lit, because the sky was still bright in the evening. Under the guidance of the scribe who came back to report the news, Tao Ziyun flew with them to the vicinity of Sang Benyuan's mansion.
They walked past the gate of the Sang Mansion, but the gate was closed, and there was not even a single gatekeeper.
"I don't know where to start!" He Renzhi muttered helplessly.
Tao Ziyun also felt helpless: "Let's not alarm them now, forget it, go to the Suspicious Mountain, your other scholar is still waiting for us on the mountain." ”
"I have no objection, if I have a way, I don't have to ask you for help. Hu Xiongdie said sincerely.
Tao Ziyun adjusted his feelings: "I can only do this, go to a place where there is no one and take you to fly." ”
In the depths of the top of the suspicious mountain, on the slopes of the terraced fields, the mountain stream is flowing, and at the edge of a large forest, they saw another scholar, and in front of the big forest, is the ancient village that the scholar said.
When it was dark, two scholars walked in front of them, lighting lanterns, and they followed the stone road in the village to an old mud-brick house, and human voices were heard from inside.
"Chen Zhenmang is in this room, this is the kitchen, and I can't understand a word of what they say inside. A scholar said.
Tao Ziyun, He Renzhi and Hu Xiongdie strangely approached the kitchen window, the window was very high and small, and a faint light came from inside, only listening to the conversation inside babbling, déjà vu, I really couldn't understand a word!
"It's useless to eavesdrop, let's just call the door in!" Tao Ziyun walked to the door of the house, pulled out the hole flute in his belt, waved it a few times in the wind, and conjured a bean soldier with a bean.
He Renzhi knocked on the gate several times cleverly, and in the quiet mountain village, it was particularly crisp, and He Renzhi shouted in a calm tone as much as possible: "Who's inside, come out and open the door!"
After a moment of silence, the familiar words came from inside, which they could understand: "Where did the stranger come from?
"We are not strangers, people here have dealt with you many times, if you don't come out, let the owner of this house open the door to explain!" Tao Ziyun said, knocking on the door constantly.
The babbling came all the way from the kitchen, the lights came on in the hall, the door creaked open, and an elderly man with a cigarette stick appeared in front of everyone, muttering unintelligible words.
On the table in the hall, an oil lamp was turned to the maximum flame, and the side room inside the hall was the kitchen, and from inside there came the crackling sound of burning wood.
Tao Ziyun pondered for a while, thinking about how to deal with this ancient native, but the language barrier made it impossible to communicate, and he finally shouted coldly inside: "Chen Zhenmang, come out! This officer and soldier have come to collect debts from you, you didn't pay the performance fee at noon today, and you will have to pay more interest tonight." ”
"Sure enough, it's you, you get out of here! You're not welcome here!" Chen Zhenmang scolded as he ran out of the kitchen, holding the long tongs used to light the fire on the stand.
The old master's house that opened the door was about to close the door when he saw this situation, and Tao Ziyun and He Renzhi had already rushed forward to hold the door up!
The old man couldn't close the door, so he ran out and shouted, and after a while, a similar reply came, and it could be heard that many people were running from a distance!
Chen Zhenmang raised the tongs and smashed at Tao Ziyun, but Tao Ziyun raised his hand to grab it: "Don't be stubborn, I can hear the shouts of so many people, this is also the language used by those faint beasts! What is the relationship between these people and the faint beasts! What is the relationship between you and the owner of this house!"
"I don't know what you're talking about! I've never heard of a stun beast, let alone a stun beast you're talking about!" Chen exclaimed hysterically, not looking like he was lying.
He Renzhi deduced: "I think there is only one conclusion, the people here are distant relatives of the stun beasts!" (to be continued......)
