Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.
Chapter 229: The clever hand leads the sheep with nothing
The carriage that Su Mulan opened casually did not have a carriage. It seemed to be used to transport goods, so the frame was larger and only covered with tarpaulin, and the four corners were tied to the carriage board.
She opened a corner and looked around, and found that the car was filled with bundles of hay. After lifting it up a little more, I could clearly see the original appearance of the hay.
It turned out to be aphrodisiac!
Su Mulan really didn't expect that this big disaster would appear. No wonder it’s so valuable, the escort alone is worth three hundred taels of silver!
However, as soon as her thoughts flashed, she felt something was not right. There are only dry plants in front of me, with equally dry spherical fruit shells on them.
Looking closely, there are circles of scratches on the shell. This shows that it has already been extracted. So what is the value of this thing?
But speaking of it, the seeds of this thing are also very useful, but they are not very valuable. Even if the cart weighs hundreds of kilograms, it is only worth a few hundred taels of silver.
When Su Musu was confused, he glanced at the carriage next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Checking again that no one was around, she quickly walked over and opened a corner to check.
On this carriage are wooden boxes stacked with locks! Although there were only sixteen boxes, it looked quite heavy, and the wheel indentations were much deeper than those of the other vehicle.
From this point of view, these wooden boxes must contain those scourges.
Su Mulan gritted her teeth and put all the boxes on the carriage into the space regardless of the consequences! As for the dry plants, it doesn't matter.
It's too late to say, then soon!
From the time Su Mulan checked the first carriage to when she took away the boxes on the second carriage, the whole process took no more than two minutes!
After finishing this important task, Su Mulan quickly slipped back to the hall. It was only then that the man named Tiegu walked towards the carriage while holding up his trousers, thinking that this guy was going to let the horse go.
Su Mulan didn't think about what would happen if these people found out that the box was missing. They didn't look like good people, not to mention that they were transporting this kind of thing. She was happy to see them misfortune!
Su Xiaobai and Li Fan saw that Su Mulan had gone out just now and came back with a smile on her face. Although they were curious about what she was doing, they didn't dare to ask.
There was a noise in the direction of the inn just now. Some people sitting at the door went out, but the others were completely unaware. The five of them, including the tough-minded accomplice, were eating, drinking and arguing.
Su Mulan listened carefully, and found that these people were talking about the new Jinshi of Qinghan Mansion, who was awarded the title of An Lan.
Isn’t this exactly what Xie Chengan is talking about?
However, what they said next shocked Su Mulan even more!
Although these people spoke in confusion, she heard a few key points.
The former magistrate of Anlan County died in the county government office a month ago!
Some said he was killed, some said he died of a sudden illness, and some said he died of poisoning! What several people are arguing about is the cause of the magistrate's death.
From this point of view, the water in Anlan County is really deep! No wonder Shilang Na Ning sent Xie Chengan here to be the county magistrate. It turns out that something unexpected happened to his predecessor!
There are some county magistrates who died in office, but there are not many who sound like they were assassinated.
It seems that the first thing Xie Chengan did when he took office at An Lan was to investigate the murder case of the former magistrate. What's worse is that just now, there was a murder case at the inn, and the person who died was a senior official!
Now Ye Yixin finally understood, presumably Ning Shilang also knew about this. He thought that An Lan must be extremely dangerous for such a big thing to happen, so he resorted to using a knife to kill someone.
Thinking of this, Su Mulan became worried for Xie Chengan.
The people who said this, Brother Xu, Lao Hao, Qi Liulang and others, obviously came from the same place. They actually heard three or four versions of the news.
What does this mean?
There is no doubt that Zhixian must have been killed. And the murderer behind the scenes deliberately spread a variety of rumors to confuse the public.
Those few people didn't look like official people, but they all got the news individually.
This shows that the murderer spread rumors quickly and widely.
Su Mulan told Xiao Bai and Li Fan about the murder at the station, and then told them to go back to their rooms and avoid causing trouble.
After all, Su Xiaobai was still young and could hear the murder. He shrank his neck in fright and quickly pulled Li Fan and ran upstairs.
Su Mulan slowly followed the two of them back to the room. She was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Iron Bones should have noticed that the box on the carriage was missing, so why didn't he start making a fuss?
After thinking about it, Su Mulan went back to the Wang brothers' room and asked them to go to the inn to see the excitement and find out some news.
The large room where Wang Sanhai'er and others lived was on the first floor, and Qing Niu was playing leaf play with a few people.
The so-called leaf play is actually an ancient calligraphy card. This thing is somewhere between mahjong and poker, and even in later generations there are still some elderly people in the countryside who like to play it.
In the early days of this dynasty, gambling was prohibited, including leaf opera. It's just that the emperor is not as strict as the founding emperor. Although it is still banned, it is not scrutinized seriously.
Just because the Ye Zi Opera is so popular, even those officials and servants want to play it when they have nothing to do. How can it be forbidden to the common people?
In Dazheng Village, there are very few people playing with this thing, just because running around for that little food every day is not enough, so there is no time and money to play with this thing.
But during the Chinese New Year, I occasionally play a few games to pass the time.
No wonder these guys were willing to stay quietly in the room. It turned out that they were fighting with each other. Fortunately, it seemed that they were not playing with money, but placing some stones in front of each person.
Gambling has been popular throughout the ages. The lay scholar Yi An, who is known as the most talented woman throughout the ages, is not only a master of poetry, but also a master of gambling!
What she likes is "playing horses", which can be regarded as the predecessor of mahjong in later generations. Although this young lady is famous for her talent, she is actually a drunkard and a gambler!
"I always remember that it was sunset in the creek pavilion, and I was so drunk that I didn't know the way back. I returned to the boat late after my excitement, and strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers. I fought for the crossing, and I was startled by a group of gulls and herons."
Mainstream appreciation mostly translates it literally as, after enjoying the banquet, we returned by boat and accidentally entered the depths of the lotus pond.
In fact, in addition to drinking, I also played mahjong and won money before I returned home happily!
She is not one of those people who loves to play and loves to play. On the contrary, she is sure to win every bet. For her, gambling is her first hobby, drinking is her second hobby, and epigraphy is her third hobby.
As for writing lyrics, I'm afraid it's just her emotion that comes from her whim.
Just like her contemporary Jiaxuan layman, he was not a professional literati. Later generations jokingly called him the number one young and Dangerous boy in the Song Dynasty, which is well-founded.
Leading dozens of people, he dared to rush into the enemy's camp of tens of thousands of people and capture the traitors alive!
As for writing lyrics? It was just him writing some grumbling words when he was not being reused. In addition to leading troops to regain lost territory, he also wanted to manage the government throughout his life.
Seeing Su Mulan's order, Qing Niu and others put away the leaf cards and went out to inquire for information. It took half an hour for the few people to come back.
It's just that a few people have just come out of the countryside and haven't seen much of the world, so the information they can find out is limited.
