Chapter 40 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
The steward led the way, Ban Xia helped Mr. Huo to go ahead, and Bai Zeqing followed a few people and got off the boat. I thought they would change carriages, but when they got off the boat, there were a group of young men waiting with a few horses.
The wind was a bit strong, so Mr. Huo tightened his fox fur cloak and got on his horse. His posture was cool and refreshing, and he didn't look like he was suffering from a serious illness.
He glanced sideways at Bai Zeqing from the horse and said, "Can you ride a horse? If not, let Banxia take you."
The wind carried and confused his voice. Bai Zeqing didn't hear it clearly. She looked up at him and narrowed her eyes slightly because of the wind.
Ban Xia Jiao "hum", stepped on the kneeling boy's back and got on the horse, and reluctantly extended her hand towards her.
Only then did Bai Zeqing understand what Mr. Huo meant. Without saying a word or needing anyone to support her, she tapped her toes, jumped up, and got on her horse. Her movements were even better than Mr. Huo's. She was so shocked.
The second master couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, lightly twitching the corners of his mouth, and then with a "drive" sound, he spurred his horse forward.
The group of people rode quickly, and soon they arrived at a forest outside the west city gate. Looking from here, Yushan Granary was not far away.
As soon as he got off his horse, a boy came to greet him. The steward chatted with the boy for a few words, and then came forward to report to Mr. Huo: "Second Master, they are in Yushan Cang."
"Ahem, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Mr. Huo coughed a few times, looked up at the branches and leaves that were blown by the strong wind, and said: "The Yushan warehouse will be opened tomorrow.
Let’s go and have a look.”
"Our people have surrounded Yushancang. Not even a mouse can be trapped out. We just want to ask the second master for instructions. Do we need to inform the Yamen soldiers?"
"Didn't the emperor leave Lu Bingbi to temporarily supervise Yuanzhou and wait for the imperial envoy? Send someone to inform him immediately."
The boy took the order immediately.
Mr. Huo covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then wrapped himself in a fox fur and strode towards Yushan Cang.
The people of the Huo family were well-trained. Although they had surrounded Yushan Granary, they did not alert the people inside the granary.
Bai Zeqing followed Mr. Huo, thinking about the conversation he just heard. He always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out.
The wind messed up her hair and seemed to mess up her heart. Bai Zeqing couldn't tell exactly what she was thinking, but the closer she got to Yu Shancang, the more uneasy she felt.
She had read many books in the Sutra Library and knew that this was a danger warning brought by Qi, that is, intuition. But she could not tell the second master, I think there is danger here, so don't go there.
Until she was about to reach the warehouse gate, Bai Zeqing suddenly flashed in her mind the scene of her father holding her hand and standing on the city wall, pointing at the eldest brother Bai Zeming of Changning Pass not far away to harvest the enemy troops. He laughed and said to her: "Did you see that?
Third girl, this is called a soldier who never tires of deceit."
Seeing that Mr. Huo was about to step into the warehouse door in a few steps, she grabbed Mr. Huo's wrist in a hurry and asked: "Second Master, do you want to open the Yushan warehouse tomorrow?"
"Unbridled!" Banxia yelled. Her hand was grabbed by Banxia and twisted back in the next second. Bai Zeqing was different from the past. Her physical quality and strength were incomparable after she had completed the introduction of Qi into her body.
Banxia's twist did not move at all.
Bai Zeqing was a little helpless. He let go of Master Huo's hand and broke away from Banxia's control. He took two steps back, raised his hands and said, "There is no harm. I have to rely on Master Huo to live now. In other words, Master Er is...
My boss, I will not harm the second master."
Mr. Huo raised his hand to stop Banxia who was about to speak, and asked, "What did you think of?"
"Second Master will know that there is a problem in the Yushan warehouse. He must have spies in each warehouse."
Banxia said: "This is not nonsense."
“I haven’t noticed anything unusual for so long, why is it today?”
Banxia added: "Because we have to open a position tomorrow!"
Bai Zeqing finally noticed that Banxia liked to rush to answer questions.
"Yes, because the position will be opened tomorrow." Bai Zeqing looked into Mr. Huo's eyes and said word by word, "Then, who set the date for opening the position?"
…
At this moment, Yin Duomi was pacing back and forth in the study. A servant rode a horse, stopped at the door of Yin's mansion, and ran quickly into the mansion. The concierge quickly led the horse into the mansion, looked around, and then closed the door.
When Yin Duomi saw the government servant approaching, he asked hurriedly: "Did you see the Huo family's boat?"
"Back to Mr. Yin, the Huo family's boat is docked at the Xicheng Pier. Our people saw Mr. Huo riding out of Xicheng."
"So, Huo Yuncheng went to Yushancang."
"What I saw is absolutely true. The informant came to report that there are people from the Huo family outside the warehouse in Yushan."
"Are our people ready?"
"Nothing goes wrong!" replied the Yamen servant.
"Listen, as soon as Huo Yuncheng walks into the inner warehouse, let the warehouse manager take him to inspect the grain. Now if he starts to inspect the grain, take action immediately!"
"yes!"
…
The Yushan barn door was right in front of him, but Mr. Huo's eyes gradually became serious.
It just so happens that I am going to open a position tomorrow, and I just discovered something wrong with the Yushan warehouse today. There must be ghosts when people are not normal, and there must be monsters when things go wrong.
Bai Zeqing thought for a while and said: "Second Master, if we are going to open Yushan warehouse tomorrow, and Yushan warehouse is already surrounded by your people, then we might as well go to Bingshan warehouse at this time."
Mr. Huo stood with his hands behind his hands and was silent for a moment. He called the steward next to him and asked, "What's the news from the government office?"
The steward hurriedly said: "The latest news is that a quarter of an hour ago, Lu Jietui celebrated his mother's birthday today, and Li Tongpan and all the officials from the government were guests at his home. The youngest son of Yinfu Cheng's family was sick, so he only gave gifts.
No one has gone. Lu Bingbi has not gone out in the government office. After the magistrate's family came back from Tingquan Temple, they closed the door to thank guests, did not accept visits, and no one went out."
"Really? Yin Fucheng is a man who is always busy." Mr. Huo pondered slightly, clenched his fists, and looked in the direction of Yushancang. After a while, he said: "Let's go to Bingshancang."
"Second Master," Bai Zeqing looked at the sky and held him down, "it's been a dry day, so why not go in first!"
"???" Mr. Huo frowned and looked at Bai Zeqing.
Bai Zeqing did not turn his head, but turned his eyes left and right to signal to Mr. Huo that "walls have ears", and then tugged down his sleeves.
Second Master Huo squinted his eyes, but he still bent slightly. Unfortunately, he was too tall, so Bai Zeqing still had to stand on tiptoes to reach Second Master Huo's ear. She whispered, and the corner of Mr. Huo's mouth twitched slightly,
Finally he nodded.
…
Yuanzhou government office library.
Lu Yu was immersed in writing a book when a close confidant ran in quickly and whispered: "Master Bingbi, something happened. This morning, several troublemakers were caught outside the Bingshan warehouse, but the jailer just came to report.
It is said that there is a prisoner in the prison who keeps shouting that he wants to see Mr. Fu Cheng, saying that he is an imperial envoy."
Lu Yu immediately stopped writing, put the brush back on the brush mountain, walked out quickly, and said: "Let's go, talk as we go."
The confidant followed closely in his footsteps and said: "Originally, when he called out, the jailer at the head of the cell didn't believe it, but the jailer who came to report the news said that although this man was wearing coarse clothes, he looked like a scholar and had a lot of money in his hands.
Without cocoons, he looked like he was not a farmer. So he was afraid that something might really happen, so he came to report the news without telling the prison boss."
Lu Yu's footsteps became even more urgent: "Counting the days, today is really the day we should arrive."
