Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

049

A few days after Wu Liu left, Shen Miao welcomed the guy from Baiantang who came from the market town to collect the dendrobium. This guy was under Pi Guangye. He only came with Pi Guangye once last year when the road was frozen and closed. He came alone. It's the first time.

Shen Miao was not in the village, and the steward was also busy. Xiaohua was in charge of selling dendrobium.

Tomb-sweeping season is the time when Dendrobium germinates. The old branches that have not been harvested in winter can be cut off at this time, or new branches can be planted.Generally speaking, for Dendrobium grown in the wild, it is best to adopt the method of raising new branches from old branches. Artificial planting is different. You can cut them off and sell them for money.Moreover, the Ching Ming season is still cloudy and cold, and it is the latest time to cut off old branches. Cutting later will damage the medicinal properties.

So this time there are more dendrobiums than before, and the clerk couldn't help asking: "Girl, the herb pickers in your village are really good, and they found so many fairy grasses just in the beginning of spring?"

Xiao Hua smiled and didn't answer, Shen Miao told her to try not to talk too much about this matter.

Seeing that Xiaohua didn't answer, the man said again: "I know that some herb pickers have their own way of collecting fairy grass, and I don't want to find out. I'm just curious. There is also a herb picker in my hall who is good at vegetable fairy grass. He said It is best not to pick them in this season, otherwise the appearance of the goods this winter will be bad."

Xiaohua heard what the guy meant, and she was worried that the fairy grass would not be good in the future, so she said, "Don't worry, it won't be bad."

The man laughed heartily when he heard that, a little girl is a little girl, no matter how defensive she is, she will always show some tricks, so she hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Why are you so sure, girl?"

Xiaohua smiled perfunctorily: "Don't ask me about that."

"I'm curious." The clerk smiled apologetically, seeing that Xiaohua was silent, he deliberately asked strangely, "Miss, you really don't know?"

Xiao Hua could only nod her head: "Yes, I really don't know."

"Then who knows?" the guy hurriedly asked, and coaxed, "My good girl, I'm in this line of business. Whenever I encounter a problem that can't be solved in herbal medicine, I'm interested. I can't even fall asleep if I don't understand it."

Xiao Hua became very upset by him, but the owner of Bai'an Hall was the young master's best friend, so she couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, Duoer appeared in time, glanced at the clerk, and said angrily: "What are you asking? You are just a clerk. If you don't understand something, ask your shopkeeper. What's the point of chasing the seller? Do you still want to ask?" Digging the corner of your shopkeeper?"

Duo'er has spent more time with Shen Miao than Xiaohua, so he is naturally better at talking than Xiaohua, and has a wider knowledge.She was supposed to sell it today, but I didn't want Luo Hu and the others to add food and clothing temporarily, and the housekeeper couldn't take care of it, so I asked Duo'er to help prepare it.As soon as Duo'er was ready to go back to the inner house, he saw Xiao Hua's displeasure on his face, so he hurriedly said it.

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Girl, you can't say that, how dare I poach the shopkeeper's corner?"

"Then hurry up and get the goods and go back to the errand, and be careful when your shopkeeper asks you after the hour."

The man knew that he couldn’t ask any more questions, so he hurriedly said, “Young lady is right, I have to hurry up.” After wrapping up the dendrobium, he hurried back. After turning a few bends in the mountain, the man suddenly turned into a bush In spring, the shrubs have just opened and grown, and they are still a little sparse, but above the shrubs is the Fengshui forest, all of which are evergreen trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. They are deliberately raised, and generally no one will approach them.

At this time, some burly swordsmen were standing under the forest, and a man with a gloomy face was sitting on a stone paved with brocade cloth, leaning on a cane. It was Yang Xingfeng.

When the clerk saw Yang Xingfeng, his legs felt like they were sieving, he knelt down and crawled in front of Yang Xingfeng, handed out the dendrobium that he had just received, and tremblingly said: "Small, small, I brought it to the Lord."

Yang Xingfeng raised his chin and signaled his subordinates to bring the dendrobium, and after a careful look, he said "um", "What did you ask?"

"The one who sold, sold to Xiao'er the immortal grass was a girl, and Xiao'er tricked her. She doesn't understand fairy grass, not even a little bit, so Xiao's judgment is definitely not her picking." The man said.

"That's all." Yang Xingfeng showed killing intent, "What else?"

The man was shaking with fright. The man in front of him suddenly appeared at his house in the middle of the night yesterday. As soon as he entered the door, he tied up his sick mother and asked him to visit the fairy grass seller in Bai'an Hall today.Since last year, Immortal Grass has been a secret of Baiantang, and the seller has never been revealed easily.He is usually honest and filial, the shopkeeper only let him go there once.

At first, the guy thought that those people just wanted to know the seller and get a share, so he provided the seller's residence.I don't want those people but I am not dissatisfied

, kept asking about the seller's appearance, the last time he went with the shopkeeper, he was only waiting outside the villa, and had no luck to witness the seller's appearance.After punching and kicking, those people believed him, so they asked him to go to the other village today to find out the seller, and if they couldn't find out, they would kill his mother immediately.

How dare the buddy disobey this group of people, he has already seen that this group of people is not like a businessman, but more like a local bully.So I had no choice but to go to Biezhuang, but I saw a girl who obviously didn't understand.

Seeing the killing intent on Yang Xingfeng's face, the clerk had no choice but to continue to say: "Later, another girl came, her tone was very bad, but she obviously didn't understand the fairy grass, and she kicked me out. I haven't... found out the real face of the seller, but the seller has two beautiful girls under his command, the status should not be low, so ask someone to say hello."

"Ask?" Yang Xingfeng snorted coldly, "You will come up with an idea? Are you so sure that the one you ask must be the original owner?"

The buddy didn't dare to speak anymore, he knew that this idea would be biased, but he went to the doctor for a sudden illness, that's all he could say.Seeing that Yang Xingfeng didn't respond for a long time, the clerk knew something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, it's really not easy to get close to Biezhuang. I really did my best to get these news."

Only then did Yang Xingfeng open his mouth: "I know you have tried your best, come here, kill him, pick up a place to bury, and make it clean."

"Forgive me, Lord, forgive me." The man shouted in horror.

Yang Xingfeng glanced at his subordinates, those people understood, and immediately ended up with the buddies.

A man who looked like a bureaucrat immediately said to Yang Xingfeng: "Master, what should we do now? The Zhuangzi below is not easy to mess with, it belongs to the Qian family."

"Which money?" Yang Xingfeng looked impatiently, there are people he can't mess with in East Zhejiang Road?

The staff quickly said, "Qian Liu."

"Him?" Yang Xingfeng laughed. God helped him. In the past, he would not have dared to provoke him easily. After all, Qian Liu was a capable general under Dong Chang's command. If he provoked him, not only would he not be able to gain advantage, but he would also be ruined for nothing.But now it is different, his brother Yang Xingmi has sent a confidential letter to his sister Yang Xingwan, asking her to carefully review the criminal evidence collected by Qian Liu over the years, and bluntly said that this time he intends to use this to make a fuss.

Yang Xingfeng was cruel by nature, but he still had some instincts. Dong Chang's missing son Liu Nianlang was in Qian Liu's village, which was the best leverage to provoke Dong and Qian.

Immediately said: "Since it belongs to Qian Liu, there is no need to hesitate. Let's attack that Zhuangzi when it gets dark today."

The staff was stunned: "Why did the master conclude that the person you are looking for must be in that other village?"

"It's not even as good as a dead person." Yang Xingfeng glanced at him, "The one who entered the soil knows how to ask, don't you know?"

"This village is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. If you ask rashly, I'm afraid it will be exposed." The staff retorted.

"This shows that there is a problem." Yang Xingfeng snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I have seen countless people, and he is the only one who knows how to grow fairy grass, it must be him."

Too hasty!The staff sighed and didn't dare to object, so they had to go down and make arrangements.

In the evening, Shen Miao returned to the village. Before going upstairs, she glanced at the dendrobium in the corner, and remembered that Bai'an Tang came to collect it today, so she asked Xiaohua. Xiaohua was about to reply that it was sold out, so she interrupted: "Today The guy who came here is really annoying, when I got ready to come back, he still pestered Xiaohua to ask things."

As soon as Shen Miao heard it, she felt wrong: "What buddy? Is it the one who delivered the money?" The shopkeeper of Baiantang always came to receive the goods in person, and the silent man who delivered the money was always the first time.

Duo'er saw the man who delivered the money, and quickly said, "It's not that man, but he looks like a guy."

Shen Miao felt that the matter was serious, and hurriedly said: "Duoer, go and call the housekeeper, Xiao Hua, and tell me what happened during the day carefully later."

Hearing Shen Miao's urgent request, the butler hurriedly put down what was in his hand and came back to life. Xiaohua recalled the day's events one by one. She had a good memory and recounted the conversation between the two verbatim.

Both the housekeeper and Shen Miao heard that the man had the intention to inquire, and Shen Miao immediately said: "The matter is suspicious, and we need to seek confirmation from the shopkeeper of Bai'antang."

The steward shook his head: "The shopkeeper did say that he came to collect the fairy grass today. He is a close friend of the young master, so he can't be wrong. But in the past, he always came in person, but today he didn't come as promised. Unexpected."

"This..." Shen Miao was stunned, "Why is this? If you are blind to money and want to take away this way of making money, you don't need to kill people to silence it."

"It's definitely not stealing money." The steward judged, and asked after a moment of silence, "Have you offended anyone before?"

Shen Miao recalled the time when he came to Biezhuang. Although there were bumps and bumps, he was about to answer no because he was so jealous. Suddenly, he was taken aback and remembered something. The other party used Dendrobium as a breakthrough point to find him In this world, besides Wu Liu, Guan Shi, Gu Heshang, Duo'er and Xiao Hua, there is only one person in this world who knows that he can grow Dendrobium, Yang Xingfeng who met in Huangjian'ao Village back then.If it was him...?

Shen Miao's complexion changed drastically. Wu Liu mentioned to him that in order to facilitate the layout in the future, Yang Xingfeng was saved. Yang Xingfeng suffered such a big fight in Huangjian'ao Village, and he would definitely not give up. This matter is very likely, no, it should be it's him.

Seeing that Shen Miao's face changed, the steward knew who the other party had eliminated, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if it's convenient, can you tell me that before the young master left the manor, he specially asked to protect you well. If you don't say this kind of thing now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do." .”

Shen Miao didn't hide anything when she heard the words, she dragged the steward to the corner, and said in a low voice: "I guess it's Yang Xingfeng, I won't explain the specific grievances between me and him, your young master knows all about it."

The steward's face changed when he heard it, he knew far more than Shen Miao, he was aware of the open and secret struggle between Yang Xingmi and Dong Chang, and he knew how bad it would be for Qian Liu if Shen Miao was caught in Biezhuang at this juncture, so he hurriedly said : "Young master, for the present plan, you must leave Biezhuang quickly, and don't be found by him."

"But so many people in the village recognize me, what's the use of me leaving?" Shen Miao asked worriedly.

The steward hurriedly said: "The young master has already made arrangements for this matter. As long as you are not caught, there is room for nonsense."

"How do you say it?" Shen Miao hurriedly asked.

"Let's push everything here to Mr. Luo, whether it's the opening of the field, or the peace of the people, or even the fairy grass." Guan Shi said.

Since Shen Miao started to mention the matter of opening fields, Luo Zhaojian basically participated, and Shen Miao also showed up as Luo Zhaojian's disciple, and the number of times was not many, and most of them were behind-the-scenes counseling.As for the Immortal Grass matter, others did not ask in depth, but Luo Zhaojian asked it with great interest.It is indeed feasible to let Luo Zhaojian take care of the matter, and he is now in Hangzhou, if Yang Xingfeng wants to be serious, he will definitely make things worse.

While Shen Miao nodded, she worriedly asked: "But what if they show my portrait to be identified?"

The steward said: "It's not his turn to play wild here."

Shen Miao didn't feel at ease when she heard it, but she knew that if she stayed and fell into Yang Xingfeng's hands, things would only get worse, so she said, "Okay, I'll go."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." The steward hurried away, not wanting to hear unusual movements outside the outer hall as soon as he stepped out of the door, a servant ran in and shouted: "Steward, there are a group of people outside the door, Indiscriminately trying to break in, we closed the door, and they rammed the door."

The steward knew it was not good when he saw it, it must be Yang Xingfeng, so he said: "Go and block it, I will come later."

Shen Miao also hurriedly asked, "What should I do?"

After quick consideration, the steward asked Shen Miao in a low voice: "There is a secret road in the village leading to the outside, did the young master tell the young master about it?"

Shen Miao nodded: "I said it, it's just..."

The steward interrupted him and motioned him not to say, "Leave quickly, go to the mountain to find Luo Hu, Duoer, Xiaohua, you go back to your room and quickly collect the young master's clothes, I will arrange for someone to bring Luo Fuzi's things over." .”

The two little girls hurriedly started to work, while the steward protected Shen Miao to go downstairs.

The knocking on the door outside became more frequent, Shen Miao didn't dare to delay any longer, and told the steward: "Yang Xingfeng is a cruel man, the steward and everyone should be very careful."

"Don't worry, my lord, and remember, your life is not only related to us, but also to the young masters and masters who are still outside. You must make no mistake." The steward replied.

Shen Miao nodded, pushed open the study door, and left quickly.
