The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 243

"Cough! The few of us are also guessing. It must be an insider who broke the news, but this person only knows one thing, not the other. I thought it was the black money of the Qingyuan prefect, and it was free to eat it. I didn't expect it to be so. been tricked...

Thinking that the prefect of Qingyuan not only has guards of honor, officers and soldiers, but also hired escorts. It is said that there is a team of no less than a hundred people. On the mountain road.

It is said that out of a hundred or so people, only four escaped in total.One is the bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau, another officer and soldier, and a servant with a child, because the car was smashed, they rolled down the road together, took advantage of the confusion and hid in the ditch, and returned to save their lives. "

"Who reported the letter?" Shi Chuying asked curiously.

"The bodyguard who escaped was not stupid. He lost all the conspicuous bodyguards, and didn't dare to show up in the local area. He hid all the way, and only dared to report to the head of the bodyguard bureau when he arrived in the capital. The headman reported Jingzhaoyin’s yamen; another officer and soldier also reported a letter to an acquaintance in the Jingying camp, here Jingzhaoyin got the letter and quietly sent someone to look for it, only halfway to find the servant and the child.”

"However, these are all random inquiries. They are vague, contradictory, and uncertain."

"Does that mean that the one who robbed the road this time is not an ordinary bandit?"

"Anyway, this matter is not so easy to settle. If it is not good, a lot of heads will be lost! I heard that the Zhizhou and other officials in Pingshan Prefecture have been imprisoned, and they will be sent to the trial after the year to suppress the bandits. The matter may still be behind this!" Pingshan Prefecture is the capital of the state where bandits robbed and murdered.

"Someone from Qingyuan is also going to pass the decree today..." It's still good if the emperor's cheese is touched, just wait and see, maybe how many heads will be lost.

"You said, these gold and silver are more than 20 to [-] taels, and it will take a long time to move them, right? One thousand taels a box, there are not many big men who can't get it up the mountain, let alone five carts? This bandit How many people do you need?"

"Well, what you're thinking makes sense. If you didn't hide them on the spot, it would be a lot of work to move the boxes up the mountain."

"Also, they decided to run away after robbing this time. They wouldn't be so stupid as to wait on the mountain for others to suppress the bandits and burn the mountain, right?" Sakura thought about it.

Chu Xu touched his chin and pondered for a while, "Hey, anyway, this matter is complicated. Let the emperor worry about it." After all, it was the emperor himself who threw the cheese.

"This prefect of Qingyuan actually belongs to the emperor! Isn't that right?" Shi Chuying took off Chu Xu's hand and asked with wide eyes.

"There is news about this matter again. It's too early to say anything now. It's serious to live our own years. By the way, tell my sister-in-law that I accidentally saw Chu Man's dowry girl today."

Shi Chuying rolled her eyes at Chu Xu's blunt change, they were talking about bandits, were they counting money, why did they suddenly go back to the inner house?There used to be so much gold and silver glittering and shining in front of you. If you don't cherish it, won't you regret it in the future?

She raised her black eyes and looked at Chu Xu without blinking, "Cough!" She saw Chu Xu had no choice but to nibble on her ear, and whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight." !"

Shi Chuying nodded reluctantly, glanced around, and asked with a smile: "Chu Man? From the third room? How do you say that?"

Shi Chuying couldn't help but be surprised. She only met the married girls of the Chu family twice at the old man's birthday and Chu Pei's daughter-in-law Zhou's birthday party. Although Chu Man seems to be married in Beijing, he has never seen her.

"Don't think about it, I heard from Chu Xun that I haven't seen Chu Man for more than a year, and I can't see anyone for the New Year's gift, but someone always picks up the regular silver issued by the clan mansion on time, he said Let everyone pay more attention... Today I saw this girl's clothes are all short and her wrists are exposed. She looks like she was from the old year. She walks in hiding and goes to the old house. gone."

"Hide and hide? This capital and this great Chu country belong to your Chu family, and your girl still walks in hiding?" Shi Chuying blinked her eyes, she had little experience in these things.

Chu Xu thought to himself, he finally stopped thinking about bandits and money, but he sighed again that his daughter-in-law is so stupid, thanks to his wisdom and martial arts, he opened the mansion early and became independent, otherwise, I can't imagine how the life in the mansion would be... Holding Shi Chuying's hand, he patiently and slowly told her something about the inner house that he knew.
