After ...... Cao Ya left, Wei Chang Ying and Shen Zang Feng together measured the mountain ginseng she left behind that was as thick as a child s arm, in order to preserve it, there was still a lot of soil left on the roots, but it was also able to see that it was almost humanoid.

"There is actually such a good thing in the Meng Mountain?" Wei Chang Ying sniffed the ginseng aroma and murmured, "A ginseng like this would have cost at least seven to eight hundred taels of silver in the Imperial Capital, as far as I can remember?"

"It is said that Cao Jia Fort is a place where displaced people live, but Bibimbap is just a place to live." Shen Zangfeng said thoughtfully, "Now it seems that the world is biased. Meng Mountain is rich in material, Cao family fort is based on the place is certainly already a remnant of the veins, but the left side can even produce such heavenly treasures ......."

The couple both thought of the collusion between the Cao Family Fort and the neighboring county's Mengshan Gang - before, because they thought that the Mengshan Gang was not a charity, even if the Cao Family Fort hooked up with them, there was not a lot of silver, and the salt that they could buy was not much more than that. Now see this ginseng, can't help but think if Caojia Fort often can dig almost, that ......

Even though the price to the Mengshan Gang can't be compared to the price of the ginseng sold in the Imperial City, with the quality of the ginseng, it's possible to get two to three hundred taels of silver for this kind of ginseng. The people of Mengshan Gang are black-hearted again, but that Lai Dayong can develop down in the irrigation province for a long time, he must know not to dry up the fish.

At the average price of private salt a comparison ...... between the two men s hearts sank.

Mengshan Gang is not only selling salt, but also banditry, so the knife and gun and other blades, all the things needed for the rebellion ......

After a moment of silence, Shen Zangfeng picked up the senate and said, "Give it to me first, and show it to Yujia in a moment."

However, after Shen Yujia was called over to see this ginseng and heard about its origin, he was surprised and said, "Does Uncle San think that this ginseng was really dug up by the people of Cao's family castle?"

Shen Zangfeng was surprised, "Isn't it?"

"If this ginseng has been washed clean and dried, nephew may not recognize it." Shen Yujia shook his head repeatedly, pointing to the roots and whiskers, "But now it's still fresh, but it can't be hidden from my nephew's eyes - the soil on it from when it was dug up is clearly the color of the mud unique to the area of Mixian County in Guanzhou! This is by no means mud from the vicinity of Cao Jia Fort!"

He added, "When the Cao Family Fort was established, it wasn't as if they hadn't hit the nearby mountains for herbal medicines, so over the years, those that could be dug up had long since been dug up! There is absolutely no way that there could be ginseng of this quality left!"

Shen Zangfeng was surprised, "According to you, this ginseng was sent to the Cao Family Fort by the Mengshan Gang?" It can't be such a coincidence that Cao's people went to Mi County of Guanzhou, dug up this ginseng, and brought it back to Cao's castle safely, and then sent it to Xiliang by Mu Chunmian, right?

This senator must be from the Monk's Hill Gang near the water!

"Or maybe Cao Family Fort bought it down from the Mengshan Gang." Shen Yujia mused, "But Third Uncle's guess is more likely, because nephew really can't figure out how the Cao Family Fort's scenario could buy such a ginseng?"

Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten that your third aunt gave them three thousand taels of gold on behalf of them only a few days ago?"

"But what is the point of sending this ginseng to Third Uncle and Third Aunt?" Shen Yujia asked, "With the Duanmu family's favor, they don't have to give Uncle and Auntie San a gift, and Uncle and Auntie San won't treat them poorly. Besides, although such a ginseng is good, but to the third uncle, the third aunt is just a praise a good word, far from talking about gratitude. Therefore, my nephew thought that the rumor that Lai Dayong, the master of the Mengshan Gang, has a personal relationship with the current Wooden Fortress of the Cao Family Fortress is true, and that this ginseng may be a special tribute to please his future father-in-law because he knows that the Wooden Fortress's father, Jigu, is recuperating from his injuries in Xiliang City!"

He also said, "It's just that Ji Gu broke his leg, not his vitality, so it's not necessary to use such a good ginseng. So I sent my granddaughter to send it to Ming Pei Tang as a favor."

Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment, but laughed and said, "Yujia, have you forgotten what Jigu is?"

Not waiting for Shen Yujia to answer, Shen Zangfeng has already answered himself, "He is the uncle of Ji Divine Doctor, back then, he was able to abscond to Cao Family Fort, even more hidden for these years, and still secretly control Cao Family Fort, relying on a handful of wonderful medical skills passed down from the Ji family! He stayed in the Cao Family Fort for decades, and has daughters and granddaughters. I can't tell if this ginseng came from the Cao Family Fort or from the irrigation state, but since you know, how can Ji Ku not know?"

Shen Yujia had a flash of light in his brain and said indistinctly, "What does Uncle San mean ......?"

"You have always wanted to surrender Lai Dayong, just previously tripped by Qiudi can not get out of the way to pay attention to him. Now it seems that he also has the heart to defect ...... This is not, borrowing this mountain ginseng to test up." Shen Zangfeng faintly smiled, said, "tomorrow you can send someone to the Ji garden, to ask Ji Ku digging ginseng people, think he will understand what you mean."

Shen Yujia but sighed, said: "nephew thought or uncle sent people to go good, Lai Dayong entrusted Cao Jia Fort that young master sent to Ming Pei Hall to uncle and aunt, but not to nephew, obviously this defection heart is aimed at uncle, nephew to go, I'm afraid that Lai Dayong instead of the heart of the suspicion!"

Shen Zangfeng knuckles lightly knocked on the edge of the case, gazing for a moment, before saying, "Last time did not ask in detail, this Mengshan gang?"

"The number of gang members is secondary, anyway, we don't lack soldiers in Xiliang." Shen Yujia explained, "My nephew is interested in him because this person went from being a fugitive to establishing the No. 1 gang in the Mengshan Mountains in just a few years, and he even managed to get in touch with the Assassin of Irrigation Prefecture, and colluded with the government and bandits to make the private salt business a thriving business! My nephew thinks that although this person is from a humble background, his talent is not bad. Although now is a bandit, but that is also the original forced, may not be unable to correct."

"Rather a talent." Shen Zangfeng nodded once and said, "In that case, it's worth my personal appearance."

...... Almost at the same time, the empire, the summer rains.

Spring Grass Lake willow color delightful, smoky wind, millions of blue branches curling up, as if the dancer turned back, raising her sentimental train. Waterfowl coo from time to time in the water bamboo bushes along the waterfront.

Wei Changjuan was dressed in a light scarlet dress, wearing a flying fairy bun, the only bead hairpin on the bun, although the color was already dull, however, because of the black hair color, under the umbrella in the rain it still sparkled with luster.

In such a season of green, the light scarlet dress was quite eye-catching - in the distance on the lake embankment that happened to turn, Min Yi Nuo, who was being carefully cared for by the maid with an umbrella, saw her sitting under the lake embankment holding the umbrella alone, the scarlet train almost slipping onto the lake surface, as if she was looking down at the water from under the umbrella, and froze slightly and subconsciously stood on his feet.

The maid serving Min Yino noticed and followed her line of sight, and recognized Wei Changjuan, remembering the words of the master and madam before the young lady's departure from the palace, and her heart snapped, and she whispered, "Madame, let's go around?"

"...... It's getting late, and if I make a detour, I'm afraid my husband will worry about me." Min Yi Nuo last year out of the cabinet, with the temperament of warm and kind Song Zaijiang get along very well, husband and wife since love, naturally the love of husband and wife is valued too much sisterly love. Moreover, after leaving the pavilion, she has experienced more things, and when she thinks back to Wei Changjuan's behaviors, she also thinks that she is too stupid and is not a person worthy of being a sister.

Nowadays, although she doesn't feel disgusted with Wei Changjuan, she also thinks that her parents' advice that she should stay away from her is right. But today, when she came out for a walk, she had made an appointment with Song Zaijiang to go back. Now that the courtyard is right in front of her, if she makes a detour to avoid Wei Changjuan, she will miss the appointment and Song Zaijiang will be worried.

So she thought for a moment, or continue to raise the step, "Besides Wei Qi sister think also see me, this detour, but to offend her ...... I say hello to her to go, a moment if she pulls me to talk, you remember to be a bit!"

The ambassadors busily responded, "The maidservant cares."

So they continued to walk along the lake embankment, and a few moments later, they arrived in front of Wei Changjuan, but they saw Wei Changjuan still sitting motionless, as if she hadn't moved a muscle.

Because the place where she was sitting was under the lake embankment, when she got close, she could only see the top of the umbrella she was supporting behind her shoulder, and couldn't see her face and expression. Min Yi Nuo was wearing wooden clogs, so it was inconvenient for her to go down, so she stood on the top and said in a nice voice: "Sister Wei Qi, are you here too?"

She asked this sentence, but did not hear Wei Changjuan answer, heart a little nervous - Min Yi Nuo was heard to say that the news of their own out of the cabinet called Wei Changjuan know, Wei Changjuan because she married Song Zaijiang is his own hate Wei Chang Ying first cousin, Min Yi Nuo was identified as a betrayal of their own, in the family made a great deal of trouble not to mention that, if not her two If it wasn't for her two sisters-in-law who took her back to the house, she would have almost gone to Min's house to find her to blame despite the fact that she was still keeping her mother's filial piety.......

When she saw Wei Changjuan's silhouette in the distance, Min Yi Nuo said to her daughter that she would not make a detour, but her heart was also a bit scared, worrying that Wei Changjuan was waiting for her to settle the score here after her mother's filial piety.

This handkerchief friend's disruptive strength Min Yi Nuo is very clear ......

So at this moment, when she saw Wei Changjuan not making a sound, she only thought that she was still angry and deliberately ignored herself, and asked again in a nice voice.

He asked four times in a row, but Wei Changjuan didn't pay any attention to him.

Min Yi Nuo hesitates whether to go up and open the umbrella to explain to her, or just how to say goodbye? It was the maid beside her who couldn't bear to see her own master being slowed down like this, so she coughed heavily and said loudly, "Madam, your shoes are all wet, you have to go back quickly now, or else you'll catch a cold, and the maidservant is going to be chastised by the master!"

Min Yi Nuo heard the ambassador's daughter according to his previous instructions to speak out to solve the problem, so that he can have a reason to leave, but his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled: Wei Changjuan before because he married Song Zaijiang, his years of acquaintances and friends, on the subject of cousins are hated, this will be the ambassador's daughter intentionally mentioned the "master", do not provoke her anger. ......

Thinking about how Wei Changjuan's seizure will be resolved, but Wei Changjuan is still not responding - Min Yi Nuo is really a bit curious, so she winks at one of the ambassadresses beside her and whispers, "Perhaps it's raining, but Wei Qisui can't hear what I'm saying from underneath, so go down and ask Wei Qisui to come down. "

The maid understood, lifted her skirt and carefully walked down the embankment, while walking, she raised her voice to greet: "Miss Wei Qi, my lady is talking to you! Have you been so mesmerized by the view of the lake?"

It was the flood season at this time, and the level of the Spring Grass Lake was extremely high, so there were only a few steps from the embankment to the waterfront under the embankment. After saying these words, the maid had already reached Wei Changjuan's side, and unceremoniously opened the umbrella - only when she looked at the scene under the umbrella, her original expression with a hint of dissatisfaction and ridicule suddenly froze!

Min Yi Nuo and the others on the embankment couldn't see the inside because the umbrella hadn't been completely whisked away by this envoy - but they saw that envoy, as if she'd been bitten by a snake, violently tugging at her handkerchief and screaming shrilly, "Dead man! Miss Wei Qi ...... she she she ...... she's dead!!!"
