The two gangs of bandits probably never dreamed that they would confront the government in such a way. Gong Facai was a little bit better, because the government's trip was obviously to deal with the rich family, but relatively speaking, Yang Ying was almost gutted, and he was even more convinced that Gong Facai must have surrendered to the government secretly, otherwise how could it be like this? Coincidentally, I just ran into it when I got off the mountain
"My lord." The secret guard came forward to report, "Yang Ying and Gong Facai kept cursing and swearing all the way, and they both felt that the other party must be an insider of the government, and they even almost scuffled."
"Very good." Wen Liunian said with a smile, "Escorting the two groups separately, it is best to make them firmly believe that they are being betrayed by the other party. The greater the misunderstanding, the better the deceit."
In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui naturally did not go out of the mountain together, but parted ways halfway, and returned to Shang Yunze's house by the small road. At the mountain pass, Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong were constantly looking up the mountain—ever since they knew that Wen Liunian had brought the hidden guards into the mountain tonight, the two of them had been restless, hoping that he would catch Zhao Yue at once. He was also afraid that Zhao Yue would say something he shouldn't have said, and he wanted to go into the mountain to see what happened but was stopped by Shang Yunze, saying that he was worried that he would scare the snake out of danger, so he could only stay where he was and get angry.
"I really didn't expect that the two villa owners are so concerned about the bandit suppression, and they don't rest in the middle of the night." Mu Qingshan sighed, "If the adults know, they will be very moved, and maybe they will send a plaque to the Yunnan."
Shang Yunze held back his laughter, and the little bookworm was quite cute when he was hurt.
Mu Wanlei said a few perfunctory words and continued to look up the mountain.
Shang Yunze said, "Here we come."
"Huh?" Mu Qingshan raised his head to look up the mountain, and after a while, he saw a group of people appearing on the mountain road, holding torches in their hands, and at the end there were more than a hundred bandits, all tied together by ropes.
The soldiers on duty were the first to cheer when they saw it, and the rest of them were woken up in their dreams, and they all went out of their tents to see what happened. It has been achieved, and it is indeed something worth celebrating.
After seeing that Zhao Yue was not among the captured bandits, Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong were a little disappointed, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, you have worked hard." Mu Qingshan went up to meet him.
"It's Fa Caimen and Luoying Village." Wen Liunian said, "The two groups of people are fighting with each other, and we happen to be the fisherman."
Shang Yunze said with a smile, "My lord is really a blessing."
"It just happened to hit me." Wen Liunian said, "When the gangsters in the mountains can be wiped out, that will be truly a blessing."
"When does your lord plan to deal with Chaomuya?" Mu Wanlei took the opportunity to ask.
"I can't tell for a while." Wen Liunian stroked his chin, "We have to wait until the gangsters are interrogated before we can make a long-term plan."
Mu Wanlei was still about to say something, but Wen Liunian had already used the excuse of something to do, and together with Shang Yunze and others escorted the bandits back to the government office. Seeing the people's backs gradually go away, Mu Wanxiong gritted his teeth and said, "He is clearly just perfunctory you and my brother."
"The people in the officialdom are all veterans, and they are best at making muddy mud. They shouldn't be targeting us on purpose." Mu Wanlei said, "You don't have to worry about it."
"I don't know how long I will stay here." Mu Wanxiong said, "There are fewer and fewer bandits in Cangwu Mountain, but Zhao Yue still hasn't moved at all."
"If there is any movement, then it's not him." Mu Wanlei said, "But since they're all here, no matter how much time and effort it takes, they must achieve their goals, and get rid of this thorn in their hearts!"
In the government office, Wen Liunian continued to interrogate overnight as usual, but he didn't find too many new clues.
"This is also expected." Zhao Wudao, "After all, I have already interrogated more than a dozen gangsters, big and small, and I have already learned a lot about the situation in the mountains. The Tiger Head Gang usually acts viciously and rarely deals with the outside world. It is also unlikely that Luoying Village and Fa Caimen will learn more."
"It's not like I got nothing." Wen Liunian scratched his chin, "At least it can be confirmed that we did underestimate the Tiger Head Gang before." At first, we thought it was just a bigger bandit den, but based on various clues, it seems that the other party also It's not just as simple as bandits.
"Indeed." Zhao Wu nodded, "Most of the bandits in Cangmang Mountain are ruffians. If no one gives advice, it should be difficult to make a big deal."
"It's getting late, let's talk about things tomorrow." Wen Liunian said, "You've worked hard tonight."
"My lord, you don't have to be polite." Zhao Wu smiled, "This is also my duty."
After the hatchback said goodbye, Wen Liunian yawned and went back to the room, opened the door and lit the oil lamp, and saw a huge mouse running over the quilt, the tail alone was about a foot long.
As a powerless nerd, Mr. Wen was successfully startled. He instinctively took two steps back, but accidentally tripped over a chair, so he leaned back.
"What's wrong, my lord?" Hearing the crackling sound in the room, the hidden guard quickly appeared, and Zhao Wu and Huatang from the next courtyard also came to see what happened.
"It's okay, it's okay." Wen Liunian was still in shock, "There is a mouse on the bed, probably because he forgot to close the window before leaving."
"Rat?" Hua Tang was disgusted.
Wen Liunian said, "I'll go to the study to sleep overnight."
"How can you sleep comfortably on a soft couch in the study, and it's easy to catch cold." Hua Tang disagreed, "Is there a guest room in the mansion?"
Wen Liunian shook his head, "It's gone."
"What about Master Mu's previous bedroom?" Hua Tang asked again.
The dark guard rushed to answer, in order to create the effect of "the house is leaking air", the bedding is now covered with dust.
Just as Hua Tang wanted to say that, she asked the hidden guards to vacate a guest room, but Zhao Wu had already said, "There should be vacant rooms in Lord Shang's mansion."
"It's not that there should be, but there must be." Hua Tang patted his forehead, "Thank you for telling me how I forgot about this." The house opposite was originally the General's Mansion, so there were so many guest rooms.
So Wen Liunian packed up two pieces of clothes, and followed the secret guard to the opposite Shang Mansion to spend the night.
"It's Mrs. Wen." After hearing the purpose of his visit, the housekeeper hurriedly cleaned up a clean guest room for him, and said that if there was anything to do, just give orders before leaving. After Wen Liunian finished washing, it was almost dawn, and he was overwhelmed by drowsiness. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep almost instantly.
In order to celebrate everyone's victory last night, at noon the next day, Shang Yunze specially ordered a lot of dishes from the best restaurants in the city, plus the cooks in the mansion fried and fried, the big round table was almost full.
"Where is Master Wen?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Should still be sleeping." Zhao Wudao, "Going into the mountains overnight to investigate, and interrogated two bandit leaders. It was almost dawn when he rested. It is only natural that you are a scholar, and you can't stand it."
"No matter how tired you are, you have to eat." Hua Tang shook her head, "Otherwise, she will only sleep more and more tired."
"The head of the family." Lu Zhui said suddenly, "Can I invite you to have dinner?"
Zhao Yue felt that he should have auditory hallucinations, otherwise Lu Zhui was possessed by something dirty.
"My lord is not in the government office, but in the small courtyard next to us." Lu Zhui added.
Zhao Yue paused, and said, "Why is he next door to us?" Obviously he has his own government office to sleep in!
"Rats entered the adult's room last night, so I temporarily stayed in the Lord Shang's mansion for one night." Hua Tang said.
You can stay, but there are so many people around the dinner table, why do you have to call me? Zhao Yue felt very aggrieved, and wanted to beat Lu Zhui up. But seeing everyone staring at him, it would be too pretentious to sit still, so he had to put down his teacup and stand up, and go to the small courtyard to wake up the nerd.
After Zhao Yue went out, Huatang asked suspiciously, "Why do you have to go and invite your lord?"
Lu Zhui said, "Give them more chances to get along, and the relationship will gradually ease."
"So that's how it is." Hua Tang realized, nodded and said, "What the Second Master said is true."
The dark guards also agreed after hearing the words, saying that the adults should be a little better, but Mr. Zhao always has a debt collection expression of being owed money, which is really disharmonious. When will we be happy, we are very anxious .
Standing at the door of the bedroom, Zhao Yue reached out and knocked, "Get up and eat!"
The house was silent.
Zhao Yue amplified his voice again, "It's time to eat!"
There was still no movement in the house.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to open the door and go in, only to see that the bed curtain had not been put down, and Wen Liunian was lying on a pile of quilts, sleeping soundly all over his face.
This sleeping posture is really... Zhao Yue picked up the pillow from the ground and placed it at the end of the bed.
Wen Liunian turned over and continued to sleep on his back. A white underwear is made of cotton fabric, which has been crushed to wrinkle for a long time. His arms are thin and white, as if he can't even lift a bucket of water. Looking up, his facial features are quite upright. There is a small sesame mole at the corner of his eye, and his mouth is naturally Slightly upward, even if you look at it when you are asleep, it looks like you are smiling.
Probably sensing that someone was looking at him, Wen Liunian's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Zhao Yue thought to himself, a nerd is a nerd, and he can't even notice someone standing by the bed.
"Get up." Zhao Yue poked his cheek.
Wen Liunian finally opened his eyes in a daze.
"Eat!" Zhao Yue stared, looking a little fierce.
Wen Liunian looked at him for a while, then frowned and pulled the quilt to cover his head.
Sleepy! ! !
Zhao Yue felt tight in his chest.
This nerd is really... so annoying!
