Mu Qingyan was very concerned about the third master who was injured. Could it be that he got hurt because of his confrontation with the idiot?Although I have never seen a fool fight with others, but as a girl of light, she should not only know how to do light work.But, what about the "Brother Qi" in the mouth of the silly aunt?

He didn't think it was the third master.

Although there is no evidence, he intuitively thinks that "Brother Qi" should be about the same age as Sha Gu, even if there is a difference in age, it is within five years.

If there is no "Brother Qi" on board, why is the silly girl shouting?

He felt that the breakthrough point was the third master.

He let out a breath, and didn't intend to continue chasing after the cargo ship, his mental strength couldn't bear the continuous pursuit.Besides, he also had to consider the senses of people like Chen Shiliu.

He asked Chen Shiliu: "Do you understand the Four Seas Freight Bureau?"

"I don't know much about it, I only know the general idea." Chen Shiliu said seriously, "Brother Mu, is there something wrong with the Four Seas Freight Bureau?"

"I just want to check something. The Four Seas Cargo Bureau has a huge business. Many merchants use his family's cargo ships to transport goods. It is said that it is better to use the old than to know. He must have a group of regular customers. I want to find one of the customers, that person In his thirties, with a soft face, he is known as the 'Third Lord'." After speaking, Mu Qingyan looked at Chen Shiliu with a smile: "I will leave this matter to you to investigate, is it okay?"

"No problem, this is not difficult, at most it will cost a little money." The question is not a secret, so find a manager of the Four Seas Freight Bureau and inquire about it, maybe you will find out.

"There is a branch of the freight bureau in Pingshui County. We are waiting at the ferry, you go and come back quickly." Mu Qingyan knew that he must find out, after all, the third master had loaded goods from Pingshui County.

Chen Shiliu and He Chuan went to inquire about the news, and the rest found a restaurant and waited.

You can't sit still in a restaurant, Mu Qingyan ordered a table of dishes, but asked the other party to cook them later.The time when Chen 16 and two will return is uncertain, and there is still time to cook when they arrive, so they only drink water to quench their thirst at the moment.

Half an hour later, Chen Shiliu came back.

"Brother Mu, I found out." Chen Shiliu wiped his sweat, and said without hesitation: "I found a small steward in the Shipping Bureau, who was in charge of counting the goods on board, and often dealt with those merchants. I mentioned '[-] Lord', he immediately asked me if I was the third master Bai of the Luo family in Taoyuan Town. I don’t know what the third master Bai is and the third master is black, but the steward described the age and appearance of the third master Bai, which is the same as what Brother Mu said, I think it should be him."

Mu Qingyan frowned: "What is Bai Sanye from the Luo family?"

Chen Shiliu patted his head, and quickly explained: "I also asked about this. The dyeing workshop opened by the Luo family in Taoyuan Town has a big business. This Bai Sanye is the uncle of the Luo family. The Luo family trusts him very much. Most of the business under his hand is handed over to him. Four Seas Freight has also been in contact with the Luo family for a long time, and the fabrics of the Luo family are delivered to various places by Four Seas Freight. "

"Taoyuan Town..." Mu Qingyan had never heard of this place.

Chen Shiliu said: "I don't know where Taoyuan Town is. The steward said that it is in Yiyang Mansion, and he doesn't know the specifics."

Yiyang Mansion?

This place name is a bit familiar.

Mu Qingyan thought about it carefully, and inadvertently met Shangwen Jixue's eyes, and suddenly realized: "I remembered, Fuguang once suppressed bandits in Yiyang Mansion."

Wen Jixue nodded: "If the silly girl really knows Mr. Bai, then maybe her home is in Taoyuan Town."

Mu Qingyan still had doubts in his heart: "Then, assuming that the injury of the third master Bai is related to the idiot, why did the third master Bai attack the idiot? Is the experience of the idiot related to the third master Bai? Does the other party know about the treasure? If you know, it is impossible not to be tempted, and since you are tempted, you will definitely want it. Unless you have already got it, otherwise, how can he be willing to kill silly girl?"

Even if the silly girl is crazy, because of her greed for treasures, she will definitely lock up the silly girl and try to find a way to find out the treasure.

Or, the other party has already succeeded, otherwise it cannot explain the reason for the assassin when they meet.

Fortunately, their goal is not the treasure, the treasure is just a lottery, it is good to have it, and it will not be disappointing if it is not there.Right now, I need to find out what role the third master Bai, or the Luo family, played in the matter of the silly girl.

"How about this, return home after dinner, get ready, and leave for Taoyuan Town tomorrow."

Back at Liulin Ferry, it was already dark, Mu Wen and Mu Wu thought he would not come back, so they were going to close the shop and go to sleep.As soon as he came back, Mu Wu hurriedly went to the kitchen to fill the fire and prepare hot water for washing. Mu Wen asked him where he had been.Originally, he was going to Wangfuya, but it was obviously wrong to come back so late.

Mu Qingyan said a few words briefly, and then said: "Tomorrow I'm going on a long journey, so tell your elder brother and elder sister. Go to Yiyang Mansion in the south, Wen Jixue and Chen Shiliu will go together, so elder brother don't have to worry."

"Yiyang Mansion, so far away? Second brother, you're killing it first and playing later." Mu Wen felt that if the elder brother knew in advance, he would definitely stop him.

"You and Xiao Wu take good care of the shop." Mu Qingyan was really tired, so he stopped chatting, waited until the water was almost boiled, and went to sleep after washing.

The next day, I packed a simple bag and changed clothes, but I thought I should get a portable rattan box.

Chenshi, Chen Shiliu arrived, but He Chuan did not come.

"It doesn't matter if no one is in charge of God's Judgment. I left He Chuan behind." Chen Shiliu used He Chuan very well during this time. He wanted to take He Chuan with him, but there was nothing else besides He Chuan. Some people can hold up the scene.It was hard for him to get a goddamn situation, so he can't go out and lose his face, right?

After thinking about it, he could only leave He Chuan behind.

He comforted himself, thinking that this trip was to run errands for Mu Qingyan.

This time going south, they found a cargo ship going south to board. The big ship went fast, and it was very stable no matter the wind or rain.Coincidentally, it was still the ship of the Four Seas Freight Bureau, but this ship did not go directly to Yiyang Mansion.

I changed the boat halfway, and after spending four or five days, I finally arrived at Yiyang Mansion.

Inquiring about Taoyuan Town from Yiyang Mansion, someone knew about it and showed them the way.

It turns out that Taoyuan Town is in a big mountain, and the two mountains stand side by side at the entrance, and a gourd-mouth-shaped passage is exposed at the bottom.Passing through the mountain pass is a huge Wankou valley. Every spring, wild peach trees bloom all over the mountains, colorful and beautiful, and the town is in the middle of the valley, like a paradise.

Without delay, the group found a carriage and drove towards Taoyuan Town.

The driver is a local, a strong man, and Gao Tian sat on the front of the car with him, chatting around Taoyuan Town.

The four in the car didn't talk to each other, Sha Gu fell asleep, and the other three listened to what the coachman said.

"You strangers, you went all the way to Taoyuan Town to visit relatives and friends?" The coachman asked in unconventional Mandarin, without waiting for Gao Tian's answer, and said to himself: "That Taoyuan Town was not called by that name before. My father was a driver, and I have inherited my father's business, so I know the villages and towns in the surrounding counties and counties of Yiyang Prefecture very well. Taoyuan Town is remote, let alone you outsiders , Even the people in their local county, many don’t know there is such a place.”

Gao Tian followed the topic and asked, "Oh, what was your name before? Why did you change your name?"

"It used to be called Hulu Town. The entrance of the town is Hulukou. The town is really small, and there are not many people in it. The villages under the town are scattered in the deeper mountains. The people there are poor and can eat their stomachs." It’s good to be full.” He said again: “People who are poor have to find a way to live, and there are mountains, and many people go up to the mountains and fall into the grass. You should have heard that 20 years ago, there were countless bandit dens in the Daliang Mountains, among them There is the area around Taoyuan Town."

"Speaking of the town's name change, it was after the bandits were suppressed. I don't know how the late emperor heard about Hulu Town, and I don't know why, but he said that the word 'Hulu' is not good, so he changed the name to Taoyuan Town." The coachman said. He said with a smile: "People here spread the rumors like this, and the officials didn't refute the rumors, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not. After all, the officials didn't set up a plaque or anything. But I thought, it should be true The world belongs to the emperor, and ordinary people, no matter how big an official is, shouldn’t be able to just change the name of a town, right?”

Chen Shiliu in the car said: "This matter is not so absolute. I don't think it should be the name changed by the late emperor. I guess it is a rumor."

Thinking about it, the emperor is so busy, how can a small town attract the emperor's attention.

Mu Qingyan lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the driver: "Tell us about the town."

"Taoyuan Town is not what it used to be today, not to mention how lively it is. The largest family in Taoyuan Town is the Luo family, which owns a big dyeing workshop, not only in the county town, but also in Yiyang Mansion. The family has bought a lot of land. They There are still a few mountains in the family, and they sell wood, which is transported to the canal. Others are far behind the Luo family. Since the town has become lively, some rich and noble men in the prefecture have bought other goods in the town. There are better ones in the courtyard now, specially for cooling off the heat.”

"Who is there in the Luo family?" Seeing that the coachman was going off topic, Mu Qingyan spoke again.

"The Luo family, Mr. Luo has one son and two daughters, both of whom were born to his wife, but outsiders know that Mr. Luo's favorite is Aunt Bai. It's a pity that Aunt Bai didn't add a son and a daughter to Mr. Luo, otherwise Ah, this Luo family's huge family business, who will give it to the old man." Talking about the inner house of the rich family, the coachman talked a lot.

Chen Shiliu couldn't hold back and blurted out: "The steward told me that Mr. Bai is Mr. Luo's brother-in-law!"

It's no wonder that Chen Shiliu has a weird face. In ancient times, concubine and concubine were different. The elder brother of the concubine's wife was the brother-in-law, and the brother of the aunt's wife was not considered a serious relative of the husband's family at all.Chen Shiliu is a child of everyone, no one has ever dared to challenge these rules, so he was surprised for a while.

Mu Qingyan didn't care about these things, his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "How old is the young master of the Luo family? What's his name?"

"How old is it? There must be a 25. He has a wife and son, and his name... seems to be Luo Qi."
