After being quiet for a long time, Xie Mengxia suddenly punched the ground heavily, and cursed with red eyes: "Damn you, you damned beast."
Yao Yao lowered his head and said nothing.
They definitely didn't expect to kill him, just to have a good meal, but in the end they lost their lives.
Han Changmu thought for a while and said to Gu Chen: "Go and invite the boss over. I have something to ask him."
The head of the family followed Gu Chen and walked over, his energy still weak, as if all his energy and energy had been drained overnight.
After Han Changmu watched the headmaster calm down, he slowly asked: "Headmaster, there are some things that I want to ask more carefully."
The boss smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Hero, don't call me any boss anymore. My name is Zhu Neng. If you have anything to say, hero, just ask."
Han Changmu nodded: "Brother Zhu, you people have fallen off the grass in the Qilian Mountains, but there are still people in the village."
Zhu Neng looked sad and sighed deeply: "There is no one in the village anymore. We rented land from the county for five years and ate bran-thick vegetables every year. The villagers died and ran away, leaving only
There were more than thirty of us and we went up to Qilian Mountain. "
Han Changmu thought about the tragedy, and his face didn't look so good. He was silent before saying, "Then, did you bring out all the people this time?"
Zhu Neng shook his head: "I took the boys to escort the King of Han to Luntai, and the women and children stayed on the mountain. Oh, by the way, the one who was arrested with the fake King of Han, and the follower, the one named Zheyun, also stayed. It’s on the mountain.”
Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows in surprise. This boy has experienced a lot of suffering in the world this time.
Han Changmu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "How much land has your village rented in the county in the past five years?"
Zhu Neng counted on his fingers and said: "There were originally more than 60 people in our village, and each of them rented nearly one hundred acres of land from the county. However, after five years, we owed the county dozens of kilograms of millet." He said. He was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and suddenly spoke eagerly: "Hero, it's strange to say that we have been cultivating the land for five years, and the people who come to collect rent are not people from the county, but from Ganzhou City. of Wanfu.”
"Wanfu." Han Changmu tapped his knees with his fingers and frowned slightly: "Wanfu, which Wanfu?"
Zhu Neng rubbed the back of his head. He was not familiar with these high-ranking families. Some of them had never even heard of them. When he heard Han Changmu ask this, he was stunned. He didn't know it was Wanfu. He only knew How to write ten thousand words.
Yao Yao coughed slightly and changed his question: "Do you know the name of the housekeeper who comes to collect rent?"
Zhu Neng exclaimed and understood: "The person who came to collect the rent is the second manager of Wan Mansion, named Wan Wuyong."
With a puff, Yao Yao burst into laughter.
What's the name of this? People are useless, this guy is useless!
Han Changmu also smiled. He was given this name quite deliberately.
However, if you know the name of a second manager, you can follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes.
After confirming the name of the second manager, Yao Yao raised his chin towards Wang Xian: "Do you have any impression of this person?"
Han Changmu looked at Wang Xian in surprise: "Do you know this person?"
Wang Xian smiled and concentrated for a moment: "This person should be the nephew of the chief manager of Dunhuang Wanfu."
Han Changmu was even more surprised: "How did you know?"
Wang Xian said confidently and calmly: "Wan Heng, the master of Wanfu in Dunhuang, is a distant relative of Wanwan Wanwan, the master of Wanfu in Chang'an City." He tilted his head and calculated carefully: "In terms of seniority, Wan Heng should be the father of Chang'an City. Mr. Wanfu’s cousin.”
Han Changmu's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise, his eyes widened and he asked, "How do you know so clearly."
Gu Chen smiled jokingly and joked: "Don't you know, Master? Wang Xian is a famous Bai Xiaosheng in Chang'an City."
Han Changmu touched the tip of his nose helplessly.
He really didn't know enough about these hidden stakes that Yang Youzi had carefully cultivated.
Yao Yao nodded and suddenly smiled: "If you don't say that Wang Xian is the most familiar, then if you calculate it like this, this Wan Heng is Huo Hanshan's cousin."
With a puff, Xie Mengxia spit out a mouthful of wine: "What, Yande's cousin, when did the Huo family have such a ruthless relative?"
Yao Yao sighed: "Your Highness, people say that the royal family has three poor relatives. It's not surprising that the Huo family has a relative who is doing harm to nature."
Han Changmu didn't joke with them, his heart was heavy.
The villagers rented land from the county, but the rent collectors were from Wanfu. This Wanheng was related to Wanwan. Although they were distant relatives, Wanheng was a wealthy businessman in the Hexi area. , millions of people are also merchants, and they will definitely not ignore such a relative.
Wan Wan Wan Wan's eighth sister married Huo Shiqi, the Minister of Civil Service. In other words, Wan Wan Wan Wan was Huo Shiqi's brother-in-law and Huo Hanshan's uncle.
Han Changmu felt that something big was going on here.
Colluding with the counties and prefectures, misappropriating people's fields, and swindling people's wealth and money. These serious crimes are worthy of exile. They are not something that a big businessman can handle.
It is possible to say that Huo Shiqi did not know about this matter, but it is impossible to say that his wife did not know about it at all.
I don’t know how many things Wanfu has done outside under the name of Minister of Civil Affairs to drag down the Huo family and destroy the nine clans.
Han Changmu slowly exhaled a breath. This matter needs to be investigated carefully.
He looked at Zhu Neng and asked, "I wonder what Brother Zhu's plans are in the future? Is he going back to Qilian Mountain or?"
Zhu Neng clenched his fists and said with anger in his single eye: "My boys can't die in vain. I want to go to Luntai to catch the second child and ask him why he did this."
Han Changmu suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the name of the mysterious second in charge. He whispered slightly: "Brother Zhu, what is the name of your second in charge?"
Zhu Neng hated it so much that his teeth itched. He gritted his teeth and spat out the name one after another: "My name is Li Yushi."
Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao in surprise.
Such a coincidence, his name is Li Yushi, so what is his relationship with Li Yushan and Li Yuyan.
Yao Yao asked impatiently: "How old is Li Yushi, the boss, and what does he look like?"
Zhu Neng could never forget Li Yushi's face in his life. He could see it even if he closed his eyes and turned to ashes. He gritted his teeth and said, "He came here in April last year and said he was thirty-six." Yes, his eyes are very dark, the eyeballs are very light in color, and the bridge of his nose is higher than that of Han people. He looks like a barbarian, but his mouth and chin are like Han people." He paused and continued to say with hatred: " His voice is very delicate, like a girl's."
Han Changmu's clenched hands suddenly relaxed.
That was right. He could confirm that these three people were brothers.
Li Yushan is the eldest, Li Yushi is the second brother, Li Yuyan is the third brother, and the dead Li Yuqing is the youngest sister.
Although it is not known who they are working for, there is no doubt that Li Yushan and Li Yuyan are related to the Four Saints.
Under the cover of the night, all his expressions seemed blurry, and he glanced at Yao Yao calmly.
After catching the three Li brothers, will we know what the tattoo on Yao Yao's leg really means.
He hesitated and was restless for a moment.
He was afraid that the truth he would eventually learn would be a truth that neither he nor Yao Yao could accept.
Han Changmu calmed down for a moment and made his voice sound as calm as usual: "Brother Zhu is planning to take these people with him to Luntai?"
Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment. Although he was illiterate and a bit reckless, he was still very thoughtful when things came to pass. He thought for a while: "It's too dangerous to go to Luntai on the way. I don't know what I will encounter when I get there." I think it’s better to let them go back, we can’t leave the mountain unattended.”
Han Changmu nodded, he also meant the same thing.
So many innocent lives cannot be lost in these conspiracies one after another.
Zhu Neng called the two elders of the group over and said in a rough voice, not allowing them to refuse: "At dawn tomorrow, Ergouzi and Dashunzi, you two will lead the boys and return to Qilian Mountain first. , I will meet up with the second boss by myself and go to the Luntai to deliver the goods."
When Er Gouzi and Dashunzi heard this, they immediately became unwilling. They shook their heads and said, "No, brother, we will follow him to death."
Zhu Neng's eyes were red, he tried hard to hold back, and cursed impatiently: "Ganggun, why are you living or dying? I still have a long life. Go back to the mountain, take good care of your wife and children, and wait for me to come back. The popular ones drink the spicy ones.”
Er Gouzi and Dashunzi were stunned, and said in unison: "Then let them go back first, and we will follow the big brother."
Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, and then started to scold: "You two losers, you eat more than anyone else, and you are the most useless. Why am I taking you two? You are holding me back, get out, get back."
Ergouzi and Dashunzi immediately knelt on the ground, holding Zhu Neng's legs, crying: "Brother, eldest brother, take us there. I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in Luntai. Today The ground is so cold that there are no grass roots or tree bark on the mountain. If we all go back, the food stored on the mountain will not be enough."
Zhu Neng sighed. He only wanted to let them go back to save their lives, but he forgot that they would starve to death if they went back.
Yao Yao and the others couldn't bear to listen anymore, and they couldn't bear to watch anymore, so they all turned their heads.
Sigh how difficult people's livelihood is.
Han Changmu and Xie Mengxia looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Xie Mengxia found out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to Zhu Neng: "This is my handwritten letter. Take it. Don't go to the county. Don't let others intercept this letter. Go In the state, don’t look for anyone else, go directly to Lu Zhen, the governor of Ganzhou, and show him this letter, and he will find a way to re-grant land to you, arrange a good place for you, and let you have enough to eat.”
