Happy Marriage

Chapter 188: Catching the grass to startle the snake

Very early the next day, An Sheng quietly got up. After a brief wash, he pondered for a while, and brought two more medicinal powders on his body. He was well prepared, and immediately left the Xia Mansion.

As soon as the door was opened, Leng Nanxian's carriage was waiting outside the mansion, with the dampness of the morning frost. The horse pulling the cart rattled impatiently.

I don't know how long I have been waiting.

An Sheng was a little surprised, and hesitantly walked over, Leng Nanxian lifted the curtain of the car, stuck out a slightly tired face, and frowned slightly: "Get in the car."

"I" An Sheng hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"Get in the car." Leng Nanxian tensed his face and repeated it again.

An Sheng obediently went up, just like the day he first met, curled up in the corner, lowered his head, and dared not look at Leng Nanxian.

Leng Nanxian instructed Uncle Leng, "Go to Canglin."

Then the curtain was lowered.

An Sheng raised his head even more in surprise: "Master, do you already know?"

Leng Nanxian snorted coldly: "Who do you want to hide from your little thought?"

An Sheng murmured in a low voice: "I just want to inquire and see if there are any new clues."

"You want to go to Yu Jingyun and sneak into the warehouse to see if anyone can testify for your father?" Leng Nanxian mercilessly exposed An Sheng's careful thoughts.

An Sheng nodded: "I already thought about it yesterday. If things are really as my father said, the grain and rice in the warehouse have already been depleted. Then, what was the fire that burned that day? There will definitely be clues.

Moreover, they transferred grain and rice in advance, even if they did it carefully, there would still be flaws. It is impossible for so much food to disappear. Whether it is transfer or transportation, it requires enormous human and material resources.

They want to cover the sky with one hand, but I believe that it is impossible for the soldiers to all join forces, and there will certainly be people who are not afraid of power. Like my father, if there is any evidence left?

I was lucky in my heart, if I could find any clues, it would be better than the headless fly I am now. "

"Since this incident was premeditated, someone in Canglin will definitely be responsible for the aftermath and cover up the evidence. They absolutely cannot easily let people in to investigate and collect evidence, and they will not let you contact those soldiers. This matter is very dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll get killed. So, you don't let me come here, and you want to go and investigate secretly."

An Sheng lowered his head lower: "I have no other way. I finally have hope. As long as I can alleviate my father's guilt a little, the risk is worth it. But, Master, you should not accompany me to the danger."

"Should it be my business? Since ancient times, only the master has been in charge of the apprentice, and there is no reason why the apprentice is in charge of the master."

An Sheng was silent, full of gratitude in addition to gratitude.

The vicinity of Canglin was still heavily guarded, and the siege was impassable. Inside is working around the clock to clean up. It's really not easy to get in.

The soldier said that Yu Jingyun had left Canglin with his troops and was not here.

The two fluttered for a while, An Sheng was reluctant to part and did not want to leave. She was at a time of despair, and she didn't want to let go of any hope.

Leng Nanxian grabbed her hand: "Come with me."

An Sheng asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Leng Nanxian whispered, "You'll know when you come with me."

An Sheng didn't speak, he followed Leng Nanxian around Canglin and went straight to the south of the city.

There, the ashes cleaned up by the soldiers, mixed with rain and mud, all poured into a mountain col.

The warehouse needs to be rebuilt, and these ashes naturally need to be cleaned out and transported here by car.

However, there are soldiers guarding here, and it is forbidden for idlers to approach.

This is a bit meaning that there is no silver and three hundred taels here. If it is ordinary ashes and there is no tricky thing, why is it so cautious?

An Sheng was a little discouraged again. Obviously, even if it can prove something from the ashes, it will not help. Because of the charges they placed on their father, they were also at a loss.

But the hope and the fact are in front of you, but you can't get close to it, which always makes people feel pale and powerless.

She and Leng Nanxian have been wandering around, one of them is like a zhilan and jade tree, with a graceful demeanor, the other is ice-skinned and snow-skinned, elegant and beautiful, and naturally attracts the attention of others.

Leng Nanxian persuaded: "If there are any clues, Yu Jingyun must know, we will go back to the city to find him and then find a way."

An Sheng nodded helplessly and walked back one step at a time.

From a distance, I saw a soldier who looked like a soldier with a shovel on his shoulder. When he came back from a distance, his feet were full of mud and obviously soaked through. They just passed An Sheng and Leng Nanxian.

At first glance, An Sheng felt that these soldiers should have gone to rest the mud on the road, thinking that they would still do something beneficial to the people, but didn't care.

Someone on the other side stopped them from going: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

One of the leaders looked at An Sheng and Leng Nanxian up and down vigilantly, and asked aloud.

An Sheng and Leng Nanxian looked at each other: "Just walk around."

"Just walk around?" The man looked at An Sheng suspiciously: "What's there to go here?"

Someone behind him jokingly said, "Head, what do you care about? A man and a woman, what else can they do in this wilderness?"

"What do you know?!" The leader reprimanded with a stern face: "The fire has just caught on here, and there is an order on it. You can't let idle people get in and make trouble. You must be vigilant. You forgot it as soon as I told you?"

The man asked for something boring, wisely shrank his neck, and said no more.

Leng Nanxian said calmly, "Don't get me wrong, my brother and sister are entrusted by others to come to see Feng Shui, and want to find a treasure land of Feng Shui."

"Look at Feng Shui?" The leader looked at Leng Nanxian suspiciously, and when he saw him fluttering in white clothes, he seemed to be a bit immortal: "You know?"

Leng Nanxian nodded and pointed: "The main family's ancestral tomb was originally at that location, with the mountains facing the water, and it looked good, but after the rains for the first two days, the cemetery accumulated water, which damaged the feng shui of the Yin house and became a vicious cave, so it was extremely dangerous. We need to move out quickly. We'll go after we've explored it."

Leng Nanxian's nonsense came along, and An Sheng was dumbfounded.

The leader waved his hand impatiently and drove the two away: "This is a warehouse. Do you still want to make a cemetery? It's too boring to live, so go far away and be careful with the board."

Leng Nanxian nodded again and again, pretending to leave, a few people carried their shovels and went straight back to Canglin.

An Sheng snorted softly: "It's a good thing."

Leng Nanxian saw that several people had disappeared, and hesitated for a while: "Let's go back and walk forward."

An Sheng was puzzled, followed behind Leng Nanxian, turned back far away, and moved forward along the road.

This is a small road leading to the official road in the south of the city. It should have been used to transport food in the past, but few people left, so there were overgrown grass on both sides, almost deserted.

Along the road, there are traces of shovel shovels. Leng Nanxian bends down from time to time, pokes aside the newly turned soil to take a look, thinks for a moment, and then continues to move forward.

An Sheng didn't take it seriously at first, but soon felt strange.

Now that the autumn grain is in storage, this road is almost useless. What are these soldiers doing to repair it? Also, poking around, it doesn't look like it's building a road.

She bent down and took a closer look. The place where the shovel had shoveled revealed a layer of bright yellow buds, and when she pushed aside the newly opened soil, there were also some tender seedlings mixed in it.

They are clearly to flatten these new shoots.

An Sheng raised his face and faced Leng Nanxian. The two of them almost said in unison, "It's Maizi!"

It had just rained a few days ago, and the wheat was not afraid of the cold, so it sprouted.

In normal times, it would be inconspicuous, but now it is almost the beginning of winter, the trees are bleak, the weeds are withered and yellow, and the green wheat germinates, it looks more conspicuous.

It is close to the warehouse, and it is not surprising that there are grains of wheat left on the road, but if they were left in the past, they should have sprouted with the previous rain. Why does it have to grow after the rain two days ago out?

It means that these grains of wheat have just been left behind.

Most importantly, why did these soldiers deliberately hide? "

The two of them responded in unison without speaking.

"Someone has transported food out or in here recently!"

This thought made An Sheng instantly excited.

So far, this is the most plausible explanation.

If you follow this trace, can you find any better clues?

Without hesitation, the two of them immediately moved forward along this official road to explore their whereabouts. At the end, I turned on the official road to the south, and all traces disappeared.

"Let's go back and ask to see if the south has delivered food to Beijing in the past few days." Leng Nanxian said.

An Sheng nodded decisively: "Someone must be trying to transport food out, no doubt about it. Otherwise, they don't need to go to great lengths to cover up."

A cold, gloomy laughter from behind startled An Sheng, and immediately turned around.

Behind him, there were seven or eight men in black, all covered with face towels, with only two eyes exposed, holding steel knives that gleamed coldly in their hands, lined up in a row, waiting for the battle.

"Hehe, Xia Ansheng, there is a way to heaven and you don't want to go, and there is no way to go to hell. No wonder we are." The first person pointed at An Sheng and Leng Nanxian with a steel knife, and said coldly.

They could even call out their names by opening their mouths. If it was just a chance encounter, An Sheng would not believe anything.

"What do you mean?" An Sheng was startled, but pretended to be calm.

"What do I mean by believing you know well, there are things you know too much."

It seems that the conversation between him and Leng Nanxian has been heard by several people.

No wonder Yu Jingyun didn't let him continue his investigation after saying anything. It turned out that it was exactly as he expected. At this point, An Sheng understood everything.

"You want to kill people?"

Those people took a step forward coldly: "This is your own death, no blame for us."

"Who are you?" Leng Nanxian asked loudly.

The man smiled grimly again: "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that I know who you are."

An Sheng looked around, it was almost noon, and there was no one on the official road. In the wilderness again, even if I shouted loudly, no one would hear it, even if someone heard it, no one would care.
