Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 719 "Shipping"
Peony Tower, midnight.

"Huang Xiucai was sleeping soundly with his arms around the oiran in the building. The window was pierced silently, and then a puff of light smoke poured in, gradually filling the room.

The two people who were sleeping soundly on the bed were fainted in their sleep after smelling the smoke, and then the people outside the window sneaked in~~
The next morning, in a remote courtyard outside the city, 'Huang Xiucai' and 'Lei County Magistrate' were gagged and tied to armchairs.

Shen Yuan poured two basins of cold water on them to wake them up.

When the two woke up, they found that they were tied up, and there was an outstanding woman standing in front of them, and they were completely puzzled.

Shen Yuan stepped forward to remove the cloth from Lei County Magistrate's mouth, and as soon as Lei County Magistrate was able to speak, he spoke in an official tone with a stern voice.

"Who are you? Dare to kidnap court officials? Do you want to kill yourself?" He was also stunned in his sleep last night, and came here after waking up, inexplicably surprised.

Speaking of which, Shen Yuan didn't disturb them at all, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to capture them so easily.

"No matter who you are, let me go now, and let me forget the past." County Magistrate Lei shivered as he spoke, and he narrowed his eyes looking at Shen Yu'an, trying his best to cover up the murderous intent in his eyes, This little girl dares to touch them~~hmph, it will be better to have her~~
He also never dreamed that Shen Yuan had already sent someone to investigate him thoroughly.

Shen Yuan glanced at him with some amusement, and told the shadow, "Brother Ying, this counterfeit is handed over to you, cut him into pieces." After speaking, Shen Yuan turned around and went out.

Taking things out of this kind of people, Shadow and the others are much better than herself, she just needs to wait outside to hear the results.

Shen Yuan came to the outside of the courtyard, reclined on the soft bed, and basked in the sun with his eyes closed.

Not long after they came to Yanggu County, they rented this quiet house outside the city. They changed their appearance during the day, carried their burdens into the city to visit, and went out to rest at night. Notice.

After Shen Yuan basked in the sun for a long time outside, the shadow came out.

"What did you ask?" Shen Yuan sat up.

"A lot of questions." Shadow nodded, came to sit on the stone bench next to Ruantao, and told Shen Yuan one by one the things that were asked by the two people in the room.

This matter was really tortuous and bizarre, and Shen Yuan was very puzzled.Things start from last year.

After the iron mine incident in Yanggu County, the former county magistrate was dismissed and investigated, and sent to prison. The real county magistrate Lei is the successor county magistrate. However, magistrate Lei was caught by robbers on the way to Yanggu County to take office. , The office documents and other items were all robbed, and people were also killed.

In this way, Ruan Yi, a robber who had just studied in the bandit's den, impersonated him and became the "Lei County Magistrate".

Shen Yuan remembered that this kind of plot appeared in a movie he once watched. It was in the Republic of China, not to mention this kind of ancient times with inconvenient transportation, so there should be many such situations in the past dynasties.

Not long after Ruan Yi became the county magistrate, there was a locust plague. This group of robbers captured Huang Xiucai and other refugees who came to Yanggu County to seek livelihood, took away their identity documents, killed them and pretended to be them. Entered Yanggu County.

"So, all the servants in Huang Xiucai's mansion are also robbers?" Shen Yuan asked.

"Yeah." Shadow nodded, "Not only that, but also many officials in the yamen are also disguised as robbers."

Shen Yu'an couldn't help slapping her tongue when she heard this, and secretly thanked Mrs. Mo for inviting her here, otherwise this Yanggu County would become a robber's stronghold.

"What are they trying to do? Take Yanggu County and recruit troops to rebel?" Shen Yuan asked in wonder.

Shadow shook his head, "They said they were looking for profit, and they did some blackmail and intimidation to extract money."

"Really? It's that simple?" Shen Yuan couldn't believe it, and asked after a pause, "Then what about their other accomplices? Where are they?"

"The two insisted that the others had divided the money, and they all disbanded, leaving only Yanggu County."
"Ask again, they definitely still have something to hide." Shen Yu'an said firmly, "Just ask Du Juan and "Huang Xiucai" when they got married, what did the people who sent their relatives bring in twenty or thirty cars, and what did they drag away? .”

"Yes." Shadow responded, and entered the house again, and he came out again after a while, "They said that they came with an empty car, and when they left, they brought a lot of cloth, salt, dried meat and grains.'
Shen Yuan thought about it for a moment, and felt that it should be the same. May I ask what else can be transported away without this kind of travel?
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, don't let them die." Shen Yu said, "Let's go into the "Huang Xiucai Mansion" to have a look. "

"Okay." Shadow responded, and summoned a secret guard to take care of the two impostors "Lei County Magistrate" and Huang Xiucai, and then followed Shen Yuan into the city.

Come outside "Huang Xiucai Mansion" and knock on the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Du Juan was still the one who opened the door, Shen Yu'an was easily overwhelmed, and her make-up was very charming, Du Juan was full of hostility at first glance, and his eyes pierced her face like a knife.

"My lady is here to find Huang Xiucai." Shen Yuan forced Ying Ying to put on female makeup, pretending to be Shen Yuan's maidservant, and said in a whiny voice, "By the way, Huang Xiucai invited us here, please also invite Madam Go in and report."

"I'm sorry, the master is not at home." Du Juan was about to close the door, when the voice of "Huang Xiucai" sounded from behind, "Who says I'm not at home? Get out of the way. "As he spoke, he opened the door and welcomed Shen Yuan in with a look of hospitality, Du Juan gritted his teeth in anger.

This 'Huang Xiucai' at this moment is exactly what Lin Yi is pretending to be.

Last night, Shen Yu'an sent secret guards to tie up "Lei County Magistrate" and Huang Xiucai, and then changed his own people into their appearance and replaced them.

Shen Yuan and Ying Ying followed Ji Dong directly into the main room, and then told him to prepare the banquet. After drinking in the room, Shen Yuan proposed to go for a stroll in the garden.

When wandering to a place where no one was around, Shen Yuan asked Ji Dong: "How is it? Did those subordinates tell you anything? Were they with the robbers from Luozhou?"
"I haven't found out yet." Lin Yi shook his head, "I don't dare to ask openly, otherwise I'm afraid of being exposed." After all, if you are pretending to be someone else, you will be seen through if you are not careful.

Soon he wondered again, "However, my subordinates mentioned something this morning. They said that someone from my natal family had "delivered" the goods in two days~~ They used code words, which were really incomprehensible.

Shen Yuan frowned and pondered, the words "coming from her natal family" can be understood, the gang of robbers must have entered the city pretending to be Du Juan's natal family. The money obtained by the county magistrate and Huang Xiucai's partnership?
No, such a small amount of money should not make them use the word "shipping" to describe it.

It seems that the same sentence, I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as they imagined.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yu said, "Then let's perform the trick well and wait for their natal family to "ship".'
