Cano has been a little restless recently. He found Li Shui who was drinking water, "Sir, I'm a little worried about Tietou. 〖∈八〖∈八〖∈Read〖∈Book, 2∞3↓o"
Li Shui was stunned, "What iron head?"
Aango reminded, "It's the one where the cooking is particularly delicious..."
Li Shui suddenly realized, "Oh, it's him. Isn't that the talent who just joined our Shangjun Courtyard? What's wrong?"
Cano said, "It has been several days since he proposed marriage, but there has been no news. I feel uneasy."
Li Shui said disapprovingly, "The theater city is only one day's journey from here. What's wrong with the emperor's feet?"
Cano said, "My right toe has always been sore recently. I heard people say that two feet govern the offspring. If the left foot is sore, it means the nephew is rich. If the right foot is sore, the nephew is suffering."
Li Shui was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't it be that the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster?"
Seeing Li Shui laughing and joking, Cang Fu almost burst into tears, "Sir, please save Tietou."
Li Shui patted Cang Fu on the shoulder, "Don't be anxious, I just went to propose marriage, what could happen? There are no thieves in this area, let alone a slave to accompany him. Let's do this, I will send someone to find him, Let him come back soon."
Cang Fu was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. He also suggested that the calf was Tietou's playmate and it would be best for him to go look for Tietou.
Li Shui naturally agreed.
Tietou was traveling in an ox-cart, and since the calf was looking for someone, he couldn't be so slow, so he rode a horse.
Riding a fast horse from Xianyang City to Xicheng, it only took a few hours.
Although Niu Dao and Tietou have known each other since childhood, he has never been here since Tietou moved to Xicheng. I only know that Tietou lives in a place called Dahuaishu Village.
Niu Cal walked and asked questions all the way. It took him two hours to find Dahuaishu Village.
I only saw endless fields outside the village, and low houses inside the village. Every household grows mulberry and hemp.
Several children were running around the village. What a quiet, peaceful and simple town.
So Niu Calf jumped off his horse and asked an old man who was knitting straw sandals, "Excuse me, is there a man named Tietou in this village?"
The old man raised his head and asked enthusiastically, "Who are you?"
Niu Calf said, "I am an iron-headed friend."
The old man stood up quickly and said, "Oh my, are you a good friend? Come on, come on, come in and have a drink of water."
The husband enthusiastically invited the calf into his home and tied his horse in his yard. He poured water for the calf enthusiastically. ≤eight≤eight≤reading≤book, ▽o√
Niu Dao couldn't help but sigh, "The people in the theater are so honest."
The father-in-law said to him, "Tietou has gone to work in the fields. I'll call him. You can wait here."
Niu Calf couldn't help but scolded, "This guy Tietou is so messy in his affairs. Aren't you here to propose marriage? Why are you going to farm again? Why are you reluctant to part with those few acres of thin fields?"
The calf was complaining, and the old man had already walked out the door. He called his daughter over and whispered, "You must keep this person and don't let others see him."
The girl agreed.
The old man came out of the yard and ran towards the theater like crazy.
This old man is none other than hemp rope.
At this time, the hemp rope was already nearly fifty years old. Long-term malnutrition and fatigue have made his body somewhat weak.
But the word "accused of rape" seemed to make him so excited that he ran out of breath but refused to stop.
The theater city was right in front of him. Ma Sheng looked at the theater gate and seemed to see another ingot of gold.
…………
The calf has already drank a lot of water, but the old man has not come back yet. If he hadn't seen the beauty of Hemp Rope's daughter, he would have left long ago.
Niu Dao talked to the girl casually, and while he was talking, he tentatively asked a few questions, such as "How old are you? Are you married?"
The girl blushed and didn't answer, but she didn't leave either.
The calf's heart was filled with joy.
He suddenly felt that maybe a double happiness was coming to Shangjun Courtyard. Tietou brought back a daughter-in-law, and he also brought back a daughter-in-law. That must be lively.
In the future, both families will give birth to children at the same time. If they are both boys, they become brothers; if they are both girls, they become sisters. A man and a woman are husband and wife.
The calf was drooling so much thinking about it. Suddenly he thought, "I don't have a surname yet, but now that I have entered Shangjun Courtyard, I can be considered a respectable person. Otherwise... let's just give the surname Niu? Then what would be a better name for my child..."
Niu Calf suddenly asked the girl, "If you have a child, what are you going to name him?"
The girl wanted to run away a long time ago. Seeing the calf asking questions all about that, she was very worried that this guy would not be able to control himself and do something worse than a beast.
Fortunately, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside. The girl stood up and said, "I'll go out and see if Tietou is back."
After the girl went out, there was no movement.
The calf got a little impatient and walked out of the house. As soon as the results came out, someone put a rope around his neck, then wrapped it twice under his arms and tied him up in various ways.
The calf shouted, "Who are you? I am the gatekeeper of Shang Jun's courtyard."
The person who kidnapped him sneered, "We are arresting the rebels from Shangjun Courtyard." Then, they took the calf away with great fanfare.
The hemp rope held the gold in his hand, with a smile on his face.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the villagers of Dahuaishu. In two days, Ma Sheng reported on three people, which was really impressive.
The villagers looked at the hemp rope with envy, and at the same time they were a little jealous. Why couldn't I catch the thief?
At this moment, many people had the mentality of waiting and waiting, otherwise they would not go to plow the fields tomorrow. Just wait in the village, maybe... there will be traitors coming.
…………
Niu Calf was taken to the prison and soon found Tietou and Ji Nu with their butts blooming.
Okay, no need to explain now, he understood why Tietou couldn't rush back.
Tietou was surprised and happy when he saw the calf, and asked, "Why are you here?"
While the calf cooperated and was tied to the pillar, he said, "My lord saw you haven't returned for a long time, so he specially ordered me to find you. I am lucky enough to live up to my fate. I found you even though you were hiding so secretly."
Before he finished speaking, the pawn's whip had already hit the calf. "Are you going to move?"
The calf screamed in pain, "What did you want me to do? How could you hit me as soon as you come?"
The soldier took the bundle of bamboo slips and read the confession on it.
Tietou and Ji Nu said one after another, "Don't confess, they want to frame the immortal."
Niu Calf looked at the two of them and said, "You don't have any moves?"
Tietou shook his head, "The two of us grit our teeth and will never betray the Immortal."
Niu Calf rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Two idiots, so what if you recruit me? How can anything happen if you banish an immortal with great powers?"
So Niu Calf said to the pawn, "I'll recruit him."
Tietou and Ji Nu were both stunned, "You only received one whipping and then you were punished?"
Tietou was at the side and earnestly persuaded Niu Calf to hold on a little longer. Ji Nu cursed Niu Calf, saying that he was ungrateful.
Finally, Niu Diao suggested to the pawn to block the mouths of these two people.
After the cell was cleared, the calf began to confess eloquently. His confession was very rich, much richer than the one drafted by Yan Le. The pawn had no choice but to call a person who was good at writing to take notes.
For two full hours, this man who was good at writing felt pain in his wrists. The calf finally came to an end for the time being.
The confession was sent to Yan Le. Yan Le looked at the four large baskets of bamboo slips and was a little stunned. He began to mutter in his heart, "The evidence is so comprehensive? Could it be that Huaiguzi is really going to rebel?"
He opened the bamboo slips excitedly and looked over from beginning to end. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
In his confession, he said that poison was added to Huai Guzi's fairy paper. If you use it for a long time, you will definitely die from the poison. Nowadays, those who use paper are all high-ranking officials. Within a few months, the nobles will fall ill one after another, and Huai Guzi will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
In addition, Niu Dao also admitted that Huaiguzi had contacted many courtiers over the years and might be his accomplices. Later, Niu Diao identified Zhao Teng.
There was nothing I could do. When selling tickets in Shangjun Courtyard, everyone else was happy, but Zhao Teng always had a dissatisfied look on his face. Niu Dao was the most impressed by Zhao Teng.
In addition, Niu Calf also admitted that Huaiguzi had recruited soldiers and horses, hoarded grain and grass, made friends with powerful men, forged weapons, colluded with the Xiongnu, and contacted the Donghu... all kinds of actions were described as meaningful.
After Yan Le read it, he felt that it might be true.
So he cross-examined the calf himself, and the calf answered accurately.
Yan Le nodded with satisfaction. He suddenly felt that in addition to the oral confession, it would be good to have one more witness. The best thing is that there is only one whip mark on the calf's body. Even if Huaiguzi said that he had beaten him into a move, it would not be true.
So Yan Le ordered the confession to be sent to Xianyang quickly and showed it to Zhao Gao first. After all, Zhao Gao had lived in Xianyang for a long time and had a better understanding of Huaiguzi's behavior. Now you can compare the confessions and verify them one by one.
Once the confession was confirmed to be true, it was immediately presented to the emperor.
…………
In the prison, Tietou asked Niu Dao in confusion, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really a traitor if you banish an immortal?"
Niu Dia said calmly, "What a piece of shit, I lied to them."
Ji Nu said in surprise, "What you said is all lies? But it sounds the same as the truth."
Niu Dao chuckled and thought, "What is this? I collected tickets at Shangjun Courtyard, and I made up many more stories than this."
Tietou suddenly said in horror, "What if Your Majesty also believes it?"
Niu Dao laughed, "Only people from a small place like Xicheng who are ignorant can believe these words. Your Majesty has been exposed to magic for a long time and knows so much about it, how can you believe it? After seeing the memorial from the county magistrate, either reprimand him or not." Ridiculous. Either punish him for making a false accusation. In short, you and I can get out soon."
Tietou nodded, and then sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on with the county magistrate, why he wants to target our Shangjun Courtyard."
Niu Dao also frowned, recalled the enemies in Shangjun Courtyard, and said to himself, "It seems that none of our enemies have the surname Yan." 11
