Chapter 112

When Ye Chengwei woke up, it was already afternoon, and he was groggy, feeling dizzy.

He got up with difficulty, and just as he opened the door and walked out of the room, he saw Ting An and Lu Xiuyuan coming in from the corridor.

"grown ups."

"Son."

The two said in unison: "Are you awake?"

Ye Chengwei stared at the two of them blankly, recalling the situation before falling asleep, obviously pouring sweat medicine into the flowery porridge, why was he the one who fainted?

He hurriedly called the shopkeeper and asked sharply, "What happened to Miss Hua?"

"Miss Hua?"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.

"Oh, it's the young master who is by my lord's side."

Ting An explained.

Only then did the shopkeeper know that it was a young lady, no wonder the two of them were so ambiguous.

But what kind of tricks these two people are playing, how can they use Mongolian sweat medicine on each other, it is really puzzling.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper replied with trepidation: "My lord, I wanted to explain to you this morning, but that Miss Hua is very clever. When you changed the porridge bowl without your attention, I don't want my lord to talk too much. The little one can only watch with tears in his eyes as the grown-up drank the bowl of porridge that you poured the sweat on yourself."

"you"

Ye Chengwei was so angry when he knew what happened, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he couldn't blame the shopkeeper.

His gaze sank, and he asked solemnly, "Where did Miss Hua go?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Looking at the direction of the carriage, it should be to the Chujiang Temple."

Hearing the Chujiang Temple, Ye Chengwei's face became even more gloomy, and he quickly ordered Lu Xiuyuan and Ting An: "Prepare your horse and enter Baitou Mountain."

If he knew this girl was so persistent, why would he stop her.

Now if she falls into the hands of the inspection department and Jiang Fang's gang, she may only be caught as a sacrificial offering.

When I brought people to the foot of Baitou Mountain in a hurry, it was almost evening.

Seeing that it was Ye Chengwei, no one dared to stop him, the guards of the inspection department just called out "Lord Ye" respectfully, and obediently let out of the way.

The gang of Jiang Fang Xiaowei's mansion relied on being Cao Jiang Yushi's subordinates, but they blocked them in the middle of the road: "Yezhi County, this is an important place for Jiang Fang. There is no order from Cao Jiang Yushi before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Idle people can't wait." near."

"This place is not on the Chu River."

Ye Chengwei's eyes froze, and he pulled out his sword decisively and pointed it at the leading young general: "The hand of Captain Jiang Fang must have stretched too wide."

Lu Xiuyuan also quickly took out the ticket jointly issued by the prefect and the inspection department, and explained with a serious face: "My lord was ordered by the prefect and the inspection department Han Tong to thoroughly investigate all cases in Jiang'an County, and please let them enter the mountain. "

The clerk of the inspection department hurried to the clerk of Jiang Fang Xiaowei's mansion and whispered something, the man looked at Ye Chengwei again with a troubled expression, and his tone suddenly softened a lot: "Master Ye, there is nothing suspicious in this Baitou Mountain. On the contrary, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river is just around the corner, and we dare not be negligent, and according to the rules, order must be maintained in the mountains before the sacrifice."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, all the tributes for the sacrifices will be sent to the temple tomorrow, and I dare not be careless. If the idlers wait to enter the mountain and then rob the tributes, Lord Ye may not be able to bear it." Get up."

"It's just nonsense."

Ye Chengwei saw that this person was still trying to stop him, and felt that this case was inseparable from Jiang Fang's people, so he directly forced the little official to move out of the way with his sword, and then ordered Lu Xiuyuan: "Tell me the county magistrate, and I will take care of you." Starting today, the inspectorate and the guards from Jiangling City and Jiang'an County will jointly take over the sacrificial work on Paektu Mountain."

Glancing at the people in Jiang Fang Xiaowei's mansion, he said in a colder tone: "As for you, where are you going back and forth from?"

Although it has formed a bridge with the local military and government, it has reached the moment of last resort.

Out of emotion and reason, this matter is not under Jiang Fang's control.

They just intervened by taking advantage of the affairs on the Chu River.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded understandingly, and motioned to Jiang Fang with a straight face, "Please."

The people in the inspection department were dissatisfied with Jiang Fang Xiaowei's mansion intervening in the affairs of Baitou Mountain, so they got Ye Chengwei's order at this time.He also echoed: "Brother Yu, please don't make things difficult for me."

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the people in Jiang Fang Xiaowei's mansion had no choice but to leave in despair.

For the current plan, the only way to make a decision is to quickly inform Caojiang Yushi about the matter.

Ye Chengwei led the guards into the mountain, came to the Chujiang Temple, repelled the inspectors and Jiang Fang Xiaowei's people, and let the guards of the two counties take over the temple completely.

But thinking that Hua Rujin hastily entered the mountain, it is impossible to go to the temple to play.

If she wanted to thoroughly investigate the case, she would definitely trace the reason for the deterioration of the river water, and the movement could only be along the river.

After sitting in the temple and pondering for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and told Lu Xiuyuan: "The Captain Jiang Fang said just now that we have to guard against it. You immediately send people into the mountains to search, and arrest and bring to justice all the idlers you meet."

Lu Xiuyuan felt that his words meant something, and asked cautiously: "Then what if it's Miss Hua?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chengwei stared over like a cold pool: "Then tie me back."

Lu Xiuyuan was taken aback in fright, and hurried away in response.

Hua Rujin, the old beggar, and Shu Jinxuan climbed along the steep mountain wall for a long time, and detoured a long way in the thorny jungle before completely bypassing the Chujiang Temple. A family was found in the mountains.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Shu Jinxuan was already hungry and thirsty, thinking that her cousin was naturally the same, so she took the lead to knock on the door of Orion's house.

What came out was a plainly dressed girl, who cupped her hands respectfully and said, "I'm a passer-by entering the mountain. I passed by here and lost my way in the mountain. May I stay here for a night?"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took out a large ingot of silver from his bosom and handed it to the girl.

That woman has lived in the mountains all year round, and she has never seen such a handsome young man, and she was fascinated by it for a while.

"This lady?"

Shu Jinxuan didn't understand, so he raised the volume and called again.

Hearing the voices outside, a white-haired old man staggered out with a cane, looked intently at the three people outside the door and the money in Shu Jinxuan's hand, and then gestured: "The humble house is simple, if you don't give up Just go in and rest."

As she said that, she secretly tugged at the corner of her granddaughter's skirt: "Yaya, hurry up and prepare tea for the guests."

"Grandpa, I'm going right now."

The little girl came to her senses when she heard the sound, turned around shyly and went back to the house.

Shu Jinxuan stuffed the money into the old man's hand, and was about to introduce it, when Hua Rujin went straight up and explained to himself: "I am the young master's cousin, and I went into the mountains with my teacher to gather some medicinal materials."

"I see."

Holding the ingot of silver in his hand, the old man replied in a panic: "It's just a one-night stay, so I don't need this much silver."

"It's okay, it's rude to interrupt hastily, the old man accepts it."

Shu Jinxuan persuaded respectfully and politely.

In this way, the old hunter was willing to accept the money and led the three of them into the door.

Hua Rujin looked around, although the whole house looked extremely simple, but there were eight or nine thatched huts, very spacious.

In such a big house, I only saw the old man and the woman named Yaya from the beginning to the end, which is quite curious.

After sitting down, she stared at the old man and the shy Yaya while drinking warm water, and asked casually, "Old man, why didn't you see Yaya's parents?"

Mentioning this matter, both the old man and Yaya looked sad for a while, and began to sigh.
