Chapter 58 Supervision
"Miss, Miss," Baotong whispered, "I just went to the front to serve tea, and the wife and the prefect Han are about to finish their conversation."
Gu Mingzhu put down the pen, dried the notes in her hand, and looked at the yard.
Just as the rain stopped, it was gradually stopping.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Baotong: "I've been busy for a long time, are you tired?"
Baotong's eyes were shiny: "I'm not tired. I can't keep up with the lady when I go out on weekdays. This time I can finally be with the lady." She just turned around outside, and her eyes were brighter and her heart was relaxed.
"We don't have much time," Gu Mingzhu said, "and you must pack up quickly and not reveal any flaws."
Baotong nodded.
"Before this, please give your guards a commander to protect your mother."
Han Yu is the prefect of Taiyuan. If he has no problem, he will protect this village well. Even if he has any problems, he will not tear off the skin on his face until the end.
Even if he went crazy, he would not be embarrassed by the mother and daughter, and they knew nothing.
Gu Mingzhu arranged everything and walked out the door with her hat before her mother came back. She wanted to find a big tree and place the small bamboo tube here. This small bamboo tube was taught by Yan Tanhua. If the arrows in the machine behind were opened, they would be ready to go. After the machine was released, the arrows would be closed and a arrow would be shot out quickly. As long as the arrangement was well, she could control the bamboo tube from a distance.
She gave all these things that might be used on weekdays to Baotong for her to keep. After she found that there might be problems at the farm, she asked Baotong to take them and put them on her waist.
This is what Yan Tanhua said about being prepared for any trouble. No one can think about things carefully, so preparation is essential.
After busy in the garden for a long time, Gu Mingzhu climbed up to the pavilion and looked around, and a red sun gradually poked her head out from behind the clouds.
It will soon be clear after rain.
...
Mr. Jiang stood not far away on the official road wearing a straw hat and looked at it. It seemed that things were arranged well. He would go away and fly away next time. He would come out after Yan Hao was killed and the case was settled.
"Will that Lord Wei come?" the person beside him whispered.
Mr. Jiang shook his head: "No, there is trouble in Tieshan Mine, and those unregistered refugees will entangle him. Moreover, Lu Guang and others have our people around him. It is enough for them to cause trouble at critical moments. He is just a person, and he does not have three heads and six arms, so how can he do so many things?"
"It's a pity that the iron mountain mines were investigated."
"What are you afraid of?" said Mr. Jiang, "This is still our world. Those with the surname Wei cannot stay in Shanxi forever."
When Mr. Jiang said this, he was excited and turned around and wanted to leave. When the imperial imperial envoy, Lord Wei, came back to his senses, they were already thousands of miles away, and with his method of prospecting and opening the furnace, they could start over in less than two years.
Mr. Jiang is about to turn on his horse.
"Come on a bowl of hot tea. It's muddy in front of you. It's easy to get some hot drinks to get on the road."
He walked towards this side with a shoulder pole. He was wearing straw sandals and his feet were covered with yellow mud, but he didn't care. He still took a big step and threw the mud and water everywhere.
Mr. Jiang frowned and was about to bypass the man and walk forward.
The man stretched out his hand and raised the hat on his head: "If you don't open it for three years, you will have to eat for three years. The money for three years depends on you." As he said that, he pulled out his shoulder pole and blocked Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang said: "What are you doing?"
The man was very leisurely: "The court offered a reward for catching bandits. We revealed the list, but I don't know how valuable you people are. I hope they can sell them for a few good money."
Mr. Jiang was shocked. They were those who were good at detectives who made a living by capturing prisoners who offered rewards from the court. How could he be targeted by these people?
"Nie Chen," the man took off his hat, "You didn't lie to me? Are these bandits?"
Nie Chen walked out from behind the tree with a few people: "They brought their own weapons and tied up a woman. Even if they were not bandits, they were also criminals. It would be right to arrest them." He brought people from the public to arrest people. Mr. Jiang was just right, not big or small, and he could get them bounty, but he would not be too involved.
Lord Wei seems to be unkind on the surface, but he is pretty good to them at critical moments.
Mr. Jiang's expression changed drastically and he immediately looked at Zi Yuan. The man who was guarding Zi Yuan was about to pull out the sharp blade from his waist, but was knocked to the ground by someone waved his hand.
Nie Chen said: "Catch them and escort them to the yamen to receive the reward."
Lord Wei asked them to keep an eye on Mr. Jiang and others. They followed here all the way and suddenly caught Mr. Jiang and others off guard. However, it would take some effort to capture everyone. Fortunately, everyone in the market is good at arresting, and they must win this game.
...
Wei Yuanchen rode wildly all the way, but Chujiu did not dare to relax and followed closely.
I don’t know why, even with Nie Chen and others helping, the Third Master’s trip to Taiyuan Mansion was busier than any other time.
It seemed like there was a supervisor behind the Third Master, who was whipping the Third Master with a small whip and working.
First, he asked Liu Su to find the eyeliner around Lu Guang, and then asked his personal guards to guard Lu Guang and others, and then went to the temple to ask the monks to come forward to rescue the innocent people detained in the Tieshan Mine.
Finally, they arranged these things and rushed to Mrs. Lin's village without stopping.
In places like Taiyuan Prefecture, they cannot use too many people in the Wei family, otherwise they will be caught and impeached.
What the emperor feared most was that the Wei family had soldiers and horses.
When he was conquering the great Zhou emperor, hundreds of his subordinates were invincible. Now, let alone family generals in the mansion, some guards were kept by the court.
The Third Master is so difficult, it is so difficult. The burden of the Wei family falls on his shoulders.
I don’t know when the Wei family will get out of the predicament and reappear the glory of the past.
Wei Yuanchen suddenly stopped the horse and looked at Cui Zhen not far away. Cui Zhen and several people stood on the official road.
Wei Yuanchen said lightly: "Was Dingning Hou coming here to wait for me?"
Cui Zhen's eyes were deep: "Master Wei is going to arrest people? I'm afraid that Master Wei will not have enough hands, so I wait here." He asked someone to inquire and learned that Wei Yuanchen had left the city, so he waited on the official road, and indeed he waited for Wei Yuanchen's master and servant.
During the pleasure boat, Cui Zhen met the personal guards around Wei Yuanchen. Where have those personal guards gone now? Have you been doing business as Wei Yuanchen ordered?
Wei Yuanchen raised his lips slightly: "Since the Marquis is interested, let's go with me. After all, this matter is related to the Marquis."
Cui Zhen's expression was as normal, but it still made people unable to tell the joy and anger: "Where is Lord Wei going?"
Wei Yuanchen said: "The Marquis should be very familiar with Mrs. Dingning's Marquis's Zhuangzi."
After Wei Yuanchen said that, he took the lead and Cui Zhen immediately followed, and now he didn't have to ask anything, because he could quickly figure out what was going on.
...
On Mrs. Lin’s farm.
Han Yu sent Mrs. Huaiyuan away, picked up the tea and was about to moisten his throat. Suddenly he saw a figure flashing at the window.
"who?"
Han Yu stood up and walked quickly to the window, reached out and pushed open the window. A wet wind blew, and there was no one outside.
Han Yu frowned slightly and was about to call someone to check around, but he lowered his head and saw something hanging on the branches outside the window, an arrow, and a pearl fell under the arrow.
