045 Looking for a pepper tree 4

The next day, Hong Wu ordered the three sons and two of them to take Wang Sanniang away first, but he himself went to Hongshan Prison to investigate.

Standing on the mountain, Hong Wu can roughly understand the so-called Rainbow Mountain Prison. This is a large courtyard built on the hillside, but it is divided into several courtyards of different sizes. There are three surrounding courtyards. After watching the observation post, Hong Wu left here.

Two days later, Hong Wu took the people back to Bao'an County. Since it was getting late, they had to see Li You again tomorrow. Now they live in a small courtyard rented by the dock, which is more convenient. .

When Hong Wu and his party came back, Gouzi saw that they had brought a woman back, and asked, "Brother Wu, this is..."

"This is Wang Sanniang, and will follow me from now on."

When the dog heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said: "You take your sister-in-law to Brother Wu's room, don't be stunned, go quickly."

The two subordinates immediately stepped forward to help Wang Sanniang with the luggage, and took her to the room, before the dog asked: "Brother Wu, who's the daughter-in-law, if the young master knows about it, I can specify that you can't be spared."

"Gouzi, what are you talking about? I did not take this person. Tomorrow I will take her to see the young master. She is also a poor person, and her husband's family is gone. By the way, go now. Xinhui County, I have something, but this place is not easy to start, I have to go back and discuss it with the young master."

"Where?"

"Exiled to prison, there are at least fifty sergeants in it."

"What's the matter, you know, what I'm asking about is the temple of the sea, where there are more guards, the young master didn't let me do it. Yesterday I sent someone to the north to continue searching, and now you have news, then But it's much easier."

"This matter is not so easy to do. After all, this is our Datang sergeant. Is it possible that I am going to kill all these people?"

"Brother Wu, you are not sure. In the pepper plantation, which one is missing a hundred people, and now the land you have inquired is only 50 guards. If you don't go here, anyway, the matter is caused by less. The Lord decides, so don’t think too much about you and me."

Li You was very happy today, why, because when he was cutting the wood, he found a pepper vine on a big tree, which made him very happy. This pepper tree vine is not small. I don't know how many years it has grown. Looking at the big tree entwined with pepper vine, Li You hastened to build a ladder and climbed up the tree to cut the pepper vine.

Although it was just such a plant, Li You knew that this plant was fully enough to cover an acre of land. When he was looking at it with a piece of pepper vine, one of his subordinates came over and said that Hong Wu and Gouzi had come back and brought them with him. I believe it.

"But did you find a pepper tree?" Li You asked eagerly.

"Young Master, Brother Wu said he found it."

"Hehe, okay, here you ask them to cut all the pepper vines and bring them to the camp for me."

"Yes, young master."

Li You returned to the camp happily, and when he saw Gouzi and Hongwu both standing in front of his tent, they ran forward quickly. Seeing Li You's return, Hong Wu and Gouzi also hurriedly saluted. Especially Wang Sanniang, following Hong Wu's salute to Li You, made Li You a little strange.

"Young Master, her name is Wang Ruzhen, and she is the third child in her family. She followed me later. I got the news about Pepper Tree from Sanniang this time."

Li You didn't say too much. After all, Wang Sanniang's origin is unknown, and immediately said to Hong Wu: "Hong Wu, you arrange her to stay here for the time being, go now, and come here after you arrange it."

When Hong Wu took the person away, Li Youcai asked the three sons: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Then, the third son said the matter exactly, before Li You nodded and called them into the tent. After sitting down, Li You asked the dog again: "Do you think this is feasible?"

"Young Master, this matter should be feasible. There is no need to kill people at all. As long as we pretend to be bandits and put on a scarf, who knows who did this, and what's more, we dare to grow pepper here privately, even if they dare not dare. Report it up."

Li You was almost like this, but now I don't know how many peppers are there. If there are less, there is no need to do anything. "Gouzi, let's take the waterway tomorrow, and we will talk about it later."

Gouzi smiled and said, "Yes, Young Master, I know that Young Master will definitely not let this opportunity pass."

Today, there was a heavy rain outside the house. In a courtyard at the southwest corner of Hongshan Prison, a middle-aged man with clear cheeks, high nose and deep eyes, and long beards under his chin was sitting on a stilt and looking at the sky. The gray robe he was wearing was faintly white, and there was a huge patch on his left shoulder to patch it up. After reading it for a while, he picked up the book in his hand and read it.

After noon, the rain subsided. At this time, an old woman in her fifties hurriedly came to his courtyard with an umbrella. Before she even reached her, she shouted: "Nangong Sir, Mr. Nangong, my grandson is very ill, Mr. Trouble will go and have a look."

When the old woman came to him, Nangongyi asked: "Lao Xue, Mrs. Yue, your family's illness has worsened again?"

"Mr. Nangong, it was okay last night, but this morning, my grandson said that he had a headache, and now he is even more desperate, almost in a coma. I hope Mr. Nangong will take a look at my granddaughter."

"Okay, I'll take a look." After speaking, Nangongyi took an umbrella and followed the old lady to the small courtyard where they lived.

The old woman's surname was Xue, who was born in the Xue family of Hedong. She was married to Liu Yuanzhong from the Liu family in Hedong. Both surnames are family members, so her son Liu Cong had the opportunity to achieve the position of Xuzhou Changshi. But who knows, his son Liu Cong embezzled the relief fund with others because he couldn’t afford it. After the incident, he actually bit out the Shangguan. This was a big deal. The emperor ordered to deal with it strictly. In the end, Liu Cong died. The family was exiled to Lingnan.

Since her husband Liu Yuanzhong passed away at an early age, and this time the incident was so violent that the refugees were also involved, so the Liu family and their natal Xue family did not dare to care about this matter at all, so no one dared to ask for it. That's why Xue was exiled here, and Liu Cong's wife, Zhang, died just half a year after arriving at the Hongshan Prison, and now she has a pair of young girls.

Together with Mrs. Xue, these two young granddaughters are the two young granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter is only eight years old and the youngest granddaughter is only seven years old. Yue'er is the youngest granddaughter.

After taking the pulse, Nangongyi told the truth: "Lao Xue, although Yue'er is just a fever and headache caused by a cold, there is really a lack of medical treatment and medicine here, and it is really difficult to treat it."

"Mr. Nangong, if there is no medicine, isn't he..."

"Li Lan, it depends on whether Yue'er can survive. I hope she will have her own life." Although Nangongyi said this is extremely uncomfortable, Xue and her granddaughter Liu Lilan are also both. It is very clear that this is the fact. Because of the remoteness, they are not allowed to leave here. They can live to this day, and they are all considered auspicious. (End of this chapter)
