V3.Chapter 44

After duanmuxinmiao left, Wei Changying was about to go back to his yard when he went out. When the little maid guarding the outside came up, rain came up and said, "Lord Bo Shen asked for an interview outside, and let the maids wait until the little lady was around."

When the rain is patched in with Zhu Yi and Zhu Luo, the other three little maids with her are called drizzle, Yanyu and Feiyu respectively - when the initial candidates are determined, they are given another name according to the rules. Wei Changying gives Zhu Yi and Zhu Luo to the ambassador's daughter, and the little Maids let he Shi rise. He Shi looks at the rain outside the eaves and draws up these four names with a little thought.

Siyu is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it's also the time when his true temperament is jumping off. But after all, they are not like Zhu Lian, who was waiting for Wei Changying to grow up. The master and the servant are very affectionate and don't make big mistakes. They all believe that they can get forgiveness for some small mistakes. Because they were very careful before Wei Changying.

At the moment, when Yu was reporting, he showed some apprehension, for fear that Wei Changying would blame himself for promising Shen Lun without asking for instructions.

"I was thinking about whether to send someone to invite him over, but I didn't think he had a look!" Wei Changying hears the words, but does not investigate Shi Yu. He just hums, turns around and says, "let him in!"

After a while, Shen Lun stepped into the door, and heard the way of the Head Guard commander Ying leisurely: "what's the matter with you?"

Shen Lun is older than Wei Changying, but he and Shen Youyi are the same generation. That is to say, he has to call Wei Changying his aunt just like Shen Youyi's brother. At the moment, he respectfully asks aunt an and carefully says, "my nephew has something to say to aunt about the castle master of Cao family."

Just now, in front of Mu Chunmian's face, Shen Lun called Wei Changying "the little lady". That's according to the official relationship. At the moment, he called himself aunt and nephew according to his private blood relationship.

Wei Changying is very unhappy that he didn't give himself any reminders or introductions before, so he put Mu Chunmian in front of him. At the moment, he said lightly, "how come you haven't finished talking about Cao family castle?"

Shen Lun didn't tell Wei Changying the details of Cao's castle. Now naturally, he understands that this is an irony. He is embarrassed for a while and says with a smile: "I'm sorry, but my nephew didn't mean to neglect my aunt. It's really It was my nephew who had sent a message to my aunt. But Just now, my aunt asked the Mu family how the leader of Cao family castle was a woman. My nephew only knew that brother 25 I think I forgot. "

Wei Changying frowns slightly: twenty five, in Shen Lun's generation, Shen Youyi is the twenty-five!

She can't help but look at Shen Lun in the eye hall. Seeing that the nephew of this family is very clever and stands with his sleeves folded, she is helpless.

It turned out that he didn't just want to mend it, but also wanted to complain?

Wei Changying pondered, but didn't mention that Shen Youyi was asked to confront him. He just said, "did you ask Shen Youyi to tell me something before? What's that? "

"My nephew thinks that the identity of the castle master of caojia castle is special. He always wants to talk to his aunt first." Shen Lun hurriedly said, "and Cao family castle seems to have something to do with a bunch of bandits over the years in Taohua county."

Wei Changying frowned and asked, "Taohua county? Which government is this? Why hasn't it been exterminated yet? "

"If I go back to my aunt, Taohua county is not our county of Xiliang." Shen Lun said, "my aunt wants to know that the Mengshan mountain where caojiapu is located is not all in our Xiliang territory, and the three highest peaks of Mengshan are all in neighboring states. This Taohua county is a county bordering our Xiliang county. Mengshan passes through the county, and the whole county is built on the mountain! The bandits are hiding in the Mengshan mountain. The Guanzhou government under the jurisdiction of Taohua county has failed to exterminate them several times, but they have not asked for help from us. It is not easy for us to send troops. "

Wei Changying EEE said: "it wasn't in Xiliang I said Just how does caojiabao get on with the gang? "

Shen Lun lowered his voice: "this group of bandits, in fact, are not all robbers, their main thing is smuggling!"

"Smuggling?" Wei Chang Ying raised his eyebrows. "Isn't it smuggling private salt?"

"What my aunt said." Shen Lun gives a detailed introduction to the process of putting the next two sides on the line - in fact, just a few words: Shen family has been holding on to caojiapu since decades ago. Although it can be self-sufficient nearby, it still depends on going out to buy salt, which restricts the development of caojiapu.

With this hand, Cao Jiabao was forced to accept Shen's hand in order to buy salt in time, although he did not need to pay heavy taxes in name Although Shen Lun was euphemistic, Wei Changying heard that Cao family castle needed to take money, silk, firewood, rice and other things to bribe Shen family every time he sent someone to buy salt, so as not to buy fruitless.

This bribe is no difference from their taxes It's just that the people of caojiabao have already become black households in the government, and they can't even return to their original places!

In this case, Cao family castle will seek another way out. At the same time, Taohua county has a nest of private salt dealers who are also engaged in banditry Is it all together?

"The Mu family is no longer than me. It's just a woman's family. It's very brave I think of the smuggler. " Wei Changying pulls the bracelet on his wrist and says carelessly, "since you know this, surely the clan also knows it, don't you? How can they always collude? "Shen Lun quickly explained: "my aunt didn't know that the family had decided to deal with caojiabao at once. It was only the nest of private salt dealers in Taohua County, with some background. When brother 24 knew it, he specifically told him not to move caojiabao for the time being. Maybe he could use caojiabao to accept those people! "

Twenty four is Shen Youjia's ranking - although the Duwei nephew is a bit unintelligible because he has been in the army for many years, he is careless and bold, but Wei Changying tries to hear Shen Zanfeng mention that Shen Youjia is not a mediocre person. He likes people who want to be unusual and says unexpectedly: "what else?" Immediately asked, "what are their origins?"

"As my nephew knows, one of them is Lai Dayong, a private soldier recruited by a large family in Guanzhou to guard against bandits." Shen Lun pondered for a moment and said, "this man, like his name, is very brave. He has fought back bandits for the big family many times. His credit is not small! As a result, the son of the big family fell in love with his father's concubine and was just run into by Lai Dayong. In order to kill his mouth, the son of the big family instigated the concubine to plant Lai Dayong and slander Lai Dayong. He raped his master's concubine

"It's also a good way for Lai Dayong to escape from the pursuer sent by the big family and the yamen runner's encirclement of Guanzhou government. Guanzhou prefecture government also issued the arrest warrant for a period of time. However, later, because the truth was revealed, the big family felt that their faces were dim, so they asked the government to withdraw the warrant. Later, no one paid attention to Lai Dayong, and he noticed that he somehow tangled up a group of people, not only monopolizing the private salt business in Guanzhou city! In addition, he also swallowed up the smaller gangs in Mengshan, and occupied the territory of the eldest brother, and established the name of Mengshan gang. "

Shen Lun said in a low voice, "this man is very scheming. When he engulfs other bandits, he will always keep a group of people alive and keep them in the gang! Every time the government destroys the bandits, it breaks those people's legs and throws them on the way that the officers and soldiers pass by. So since the officers and soldiers have gained credit, their desperate thoughts will fade. "

Wei Changying said: "Guanzhou assassin did not take less of his filial piety?"

Shen Lun laughs but doesn't speak, but he acquiesces.

After thinking for a while, Wei Changying said: "since there is a plan from Jia, I don't want to damage his business. Mu Chunmian Originally, this gold was meant for her today. Now let's do it first. Hengli Mengshan sect is not in Xiliang, but Cao family castle can't fly away. Send people to watch Cao's Castle closely. Don't ask them to run to the neighboring county secretly and join the Mengshan gang. That's ridiculous! "

Shen Lun hurriedly said, "Auntie, please rest assured that there is only one way up and down the Cao family castle, but 3000 people live in it. It is impossible for them to sneak away!" Then he said with a smile, "besides, Lai Dayong, the leader of Mengshan sect, is not a philanthropic person. He doesn't have the heart to accept the three thousand people of caojiapu to Mengshan! Cao family castle is going to join the Mengshan gang. It's better to surrender to our Shen family! "

Wei Chang Ying nodded slightly and said: "then how could Cao family castle call a woman and Taoist to be the leader of the castle, and still a woman and Taoist family without children? Or did she not bring her son who was raised by her knee? "

"Back to my aunt." Shen Lun shook his head and said, "Cao Bao, the former stronghold leader of Cao family castle, died early. It's really only Cao ya!"

Another way, "that Caoya is the little castle master of caojia castle, which is recognized by the whole caojia castle."

Wei Changying was surprised and said, "how could it be like this? That wood spring sleeps unexpectedly so fierce? "

Shen Lun coughed and said, "what we heard in this family is that the Mu family seems to have an affair with Lai Dayong, and even Cao Baozhi's death has something to do with them."

Wei Chang Ying Wei frowned and said: "when Cao Bao is here, he should contact the Mengshan gang. Did Lai dare to enter Cao's castle? If not, how could he meet mu? "

"It is said to be so." Shen Lun said, "although Cao Bao inherited Cao family castle from his ancestors, he was not a virtuous man. The decision to buy salt from Mengshan gang was made by Mu Shi. At that time, Lai Dayong asked Cao Bao to negotiate in person, but Cao Bao refused to kill him. He even accused mu of harming him Later, in a fit of anger, Mu went there in person! "

"When you go...?"

Shen Lun shook his head again: "that time I didn't, because Mu was pregnant at that time, so she went to the mountainside and was chased back by Cao Bao's elders. Finally, an elder of caojiapu left on his behalf, and finally negotiated the price with the Mengshan gang. So the prestige of the Mu family soared, but Cao Bao disappointed the people in the castle

"And then?"

"Then caojiabao bought salt from Mengshan Gang several times, and the middle price changed. Once, the elder who went to discuss for the first time couldn't make the decision, he went back to ask Caobo to talk in person. However, Cao Bao was still afraid of not going forward. As a result, Mu's production was only full moon at that time. After knowing this, he went in person despite the public's dissuasion. " Shen Lun said, "it seems that she was very happy to talk with Lai Dayong on this trip, and soon after she returned to caojiapu, Cao Bao died of a sudden illness. After Cao Bao's death, there was only one woman under his knee. According to the rules, Cao Yan, Cao Bao's younger brother, should take over as the leader of the castle. However, the Mu family did not know what means he used to attract most of the elders of the castle, accusing Cao Yan of being incompetent and unworthy of being the leader of the castle. He forced Cao Yan off the stage and became the leader of the castle. He also made Cao ya, his daughter, become the leader of the castle
