Chapter 237 Accumulation of Resentments (Part 2)
Updated: 2012-12-04
"It is the responsibility of the county government to calm the disputes and mediate them from it. Even if there is a conflict here, why is there today's situation?" Gao Wan couldn't help but be deeply frowning after listening to Liang Fa and Gao Dou's narration.
Liang Fa and Gao Dou lowered their voices and said, "Although this is remote, it saves several days when we go around the mountain path. Therefore, caravans from all sides are greedy for convenience and pass by. Since the conflict has started, the shortcuts in the mountains have been blocked from time to time."
"Cargories often have to spend several days clearing the passageway, which is not as convenient as taking the main road. Not only that, if some caravans pass by here, they will be robbed from time to time, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no damage. The local county government has been arrested several times but nothing has been found. I heard that the local county magistrate has changed seven consecutive terms in five years."
Hearing this, Gao Wan couldn't help but look at He Yue, and his eyes were filled with the same questions: "The way to rob a strong man lies in his property. The business road is abandoned for a long time. Occasionally, there are caravans who travel to it. Why are there endless troubles in five years?! Could it be that it is rooted in this!"
"I thought so too. It is said that in the past three months, only two caravans have passed by since then, and they have been robbed by strong men. The convoy outside the village seems to be preparing to set off tonight in case of an accident." Gao Dou smiled and looked at Gao Wan.
"Unexpectedly, this convoy is still a little scheming, but there are so many caravans here in several years, and it is unlikely that they can steal it at night and it will be difficult to achieve the full results." He Yue thought slightly and couldn't help but shake his head.
Liang Fa nodded and agreed: "There are many talented people among the seven county magistrates, but they are helpless and cannot find the stronghold of the thieves. I think the thieves must have had some means."
"Shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first. The thief acts strangely, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail. It must be the leader in the middle to dispatch it, so that this effect can be achieved. Since Gao has no choice but to let go, he just wants to capture the leader. When he explores the thief's nest, he must first confuse his ears and ears and minds. People who are not both wise and brave cannot take this responsibility!"
He made up his mind to use the trick, Gao Wan looked at He Yue and waited to express his opinion.
He Yue said in surprise: "Brother Gao thought that I could use it as a powerful general after I had cultivated the land for a long time..."
"Others don't know, do you want to hide it from me? Brother He is so disgusted. After a while in the mountains, Gao could see that Brother He has not let go of his kung fu, but has made progress. How can he be just a tiger's den?"
Gao Wan put her hands behind her and said word by word. Liang Fa and Gao Dou were both beside her, looking at He Yue carefully, but she couldn't find out where this dark man could tell that he had martial arts...
After being exposed, He Yue smiled bitterly: "This muddy water is very deep, and the seven magistrates have no achievements. Why is Brother Gao trouble?"
The steaming wine and food rose from the table, the meat was fragrant and the wine was even more greedy. Liang Fa and Gao Dou didn't know what method they used, so they bought two pheasants from local hunters, cooked them briefly and served them on the table, which had a taste.
The tables, chairs and benches had been cleaned up long ago. The four of them sat in front of the table and were drinking and practicing orders. They were so happy. The noise seemed particularly harsh in this quiet inn, and it also cut through the tranquility that should have been. The knock on the door suddenly reminded him, and Liang Fatou said without looking back: "Enter!"
The door opened and walked into the old man from Guguanye. Seeing that the people in the house were drinking, he coughed a few times and said, "The little old man heard the noise here. It turned out that it was a few old men who had a meal. There was hot water and rags here. Rong Xiao old man cleaned the room for a few adults."
Gao Wan said with a little drunkenness: "The old man doesn't have to worry about this. I have an urgent matter to go on the road tonight. I wonder if there is a shortcut here to go north?"
"Oh? Have you been waiting for a night to get on the road again? Although there are shortcuts, they are not peaceful. You are better off together during the day." The lame old man was slightly stunned. Seeing that there were only tables and chairs in the room, and the mattresses and other decorations were still covered with dust, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
It turns out that these people just have dinner and don’t even clean up their bedding. Why should they stay in a hurry to rush?
"My master asked you, don't be verbally whispered. Where is the road? Well!" Gao Dou, who was as big as a bucket, asked suddenly, slapped the table and splashed the vegetable juice. However, after turning his palms on, he put a bag of copper coins on the table. He only heard the sound just now, and knew that the bag of money was very important!
The lame old man shivered, his body shrank suddenly, and his eyes were a little scared: "The old man dared not talk too much, he walked from east to north from the village, and it was thirty miles away."
"Well, I'll give you this bag of money!" Gao Dou's big head shook, reached out and threw the bag into the lame old man's arms, turned around and said to Gao Wan: "Master, it's dark, you can go on the road."
Shaking his sleeves, Gao Wan stood up reluctantly and muttered: "If this trip was not of great importance, why should you rush in the night? Let the two of you go to explore the way, but this is the result. I hope you must not meet strong people at night."
"Don't worry, my master, we have our brothers to protect our master, keeping the master safe. But Mr. He seems..." Liang Fa could only see two lines on his face. It was impossible to tell whether he opened his eyes, closed his eyes or squinted his eyes. He just looked along Liang Fa's fingers. The dark He Yue had already been lying on the table and was drunk, snoring like thunder...
Gao Dou hummed a few times, walked up and shook He Yue hard and shouted: "Mr. He, we are going to rush, wake up quickly, wake up!"
However, no matter how he shakes, He Yue still snores, but he doesn't wake up, but instead collapses on the chair, making people helpless.
"Master, what should I do?" Gao Dou looked at Liang Fa and looked at Gao Wan again with a helpless look on his face.
Gao Wan reached out and took his bag and stepped on her shoulders, packed up her clothes and said, "Let him sleep, we wait for the three of us to go on the road first, and we must not delay the main business."
Seeing this, the old man with lame legs approached and said, "It's not that the old man talks too much, it's really not peaceful here. Are the adults... hey hey hey hey hey hey!"
"Who said too much? Is it delaying my master's affairs? Can you afford to take care of this Mr. He? Take good care of him, otherwise you will be furious!"
A big face suddenly appeared in front of him, and the old man with a lame leg felt his feet off the ground, and was actually lifted up by Gao Dou with one hand.
"Ah...ah, yes...yes!" He agreed quickly, and the old lame man's feet fell to the ground. He couldn't help but sigh as he watched the three of them push the door open and walked away in a hurry.
The three of them insisted on leaving, but the old lame soldier couldn't stop him. The table was full of food and food. After a while, the old lame soldier sighed and walked to He Yue and called for a while, but it was futile, so he could only clean up the bed and mattress first.
When the bed was cleaned up, he dragged and pulled He Yue to rest on the bed. This old man was also a good player in charge when he was young, but after all, he was old and couldn't take one leg, so how could He Yue drag it? After a lot of effort, he finally got He Yue onto the bed, and was already out of breath.
"This adult slept so hard. The old man should make some water and pour it on, and there was no such dust in the house." The old man with a lame leg told himself, leaving the house with a limp. After a moment, he turned around with a basin and began to clean the house seriously.
Although the old man's lame legs were not slow to clean, he had already cleaned up well in a moment. However, He Yue snored like thunder and ran through the room. Seeing that He Yue still had no sign of awakening, the old man said to himself: "I'm so tired that I'm so tired that I go and rest, and come back tomorrow morning."
The old man with lame legs still left with a limp. Just after the door was closed, a pair of cold sharp eyes on the bed stared at the forgotten purse on the table, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
The door suddenly pushed open, and the old man with a lame leg stepped in, muttering something in his mouth, but his eyes were looking around. Seeing that He Yue on the bed was still snoring, he turned off the lights in the room and turned away.
The moonlight was in the sky, insects and frogs were chirping, and the quiet evening breeze blew, making people feel refreshed. Gao Wan and the three of them left the village, followed the instructions of the lame old man.
"Sir, is Mr. He really foolish to stay alone in the inn?" Gao Dou couldn't help but ask.
Gao Play drove the horses and laughed at him, "I think the thieves have succeeded repeatedly and are entrenched here, so they must have nothing to do with the local villagers. The inn was the most smooth news back then. Even if they were in decline, they would have to leave their ears and ears. I was just shocking the snake and going deep into the tiger's den, but it was a way for me, my old friend."
