Chapter 338

After listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, Register Wang's mouth slightly twitched. "You've already seized a large amount of stolen goods from Chang's carriage company, why would you think of another batch of goods?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "I didn't think of it at first, but Hu Qifeng's strange disappearance aroused my curiosity. I wanted to know who he was trying to protect by burning the account book. After that, I recalled the rumors that Fort Master Gao and Fort Master Li had told me and grew suspicious of you and Lv Mo. Thus, I began to secretly send people to watch your every move. At this time, I didn't need to think about anything. What I saw already told me the correct answer. "

Ye Xiaotian picked up the cold tea and took a sip. He chewed on the faint fragrance of the tea and said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, the goods found in the back mountain of Chang's carriage company was only a small part, right? Perhaps, it was you who instructed Hu Qifeng to deliberately delay the transportation, keeping it just in case. In fact, the majority of the goods were already with you, right? Poor Chang Zizai, he only knew that the person who took the goods from his hands was Hu Qifeng, but he didn't know that Hu Qifeng just changed hands and handed it over to Lu Mo! "

Register Wang laughed hoarsely and said: "District Magistrate Ye, heroes really come from the young! This old man came to you to ask for forgiveness a few days ago, thinking that this would dispel your wariness towards me. Who would have thought that it would have no effect. "

Ye Xiaotian also laughed and said, "I won't hide it from you, Royal Registrar Wang. Your performance that day really scared this Ye. This Ye was truly overwhelmed by your favor. However, when I think about it, it doesn't make sense. Official Registrar Wang, you've outsmarted yourself. "

Register Wang said: "How could that be? Isn't it a beautiful story to tell when generals and generals reconcile?"

Ye Xiaotian shook his head: "Register Wang, you're really old. Perhaps you've already forgotten how you got along with your father and elders when you were young, but I haven't forgotten. Alas! Most of the old people are stubborn. How can they bow their heads so easily, let alone to a younger generation? "

Register Wang was startled. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Outside the window, downstairs, the banquet was coming to an end. Someone had already discovered that Register Wang and Ye Xiaotian had disappeared. He was a bit tipsy and loudly shouted: "District Magistrate Ye, Register Wang, where are the two lords? The magistrate is already drunk, you two can't be deserters!"

Ye Xiaotian stood up and said to Register Wang: "This game, you won! This game, I won! To borrow a phrase from your Registrar Wang, 'Being in the officialdom is like this. It has nothing to do with gratitude or grudges, it's just that one has no choice.' Today's Winter Welcoming Banquet shouldn't dampen everyone's spirits. How about we go down and have a few more drinks? "

Registrar Wang slowly stood up, smiled and said: "Good! "Magistrate Ye, please!"

Ye Xiaotian said politely: "Register Wang, please!"

The two went downstairs arm in arm, talking and laughing. It was impossible to see that one of them was about to become a prisoner.

County Magistrate Hua was so drunk that he was lying on the table. In his dreams, he seemed to have returned to the night of their wedding. He gently lifted the red veil with the scale, and what entered his eyes was Ya 'er's limpid eyes and her bashful face. Magistrate Hua smiled. In a drunken dream, his smile was like the spring breeze …

…

The carriages of the Chen family and Lv Mo's carriages were on the road together. There was a long distance from Gourd County to Deer Horn Town outside the mountains. At that time, Ye Xiaotian protected Shuiwu and Yaoyao. They took Ai Dian Shi's car from Deer Horn Town to Gourd County and stayed in the mountains for two nights.

The carriages of the Chen family escorted the heavy coffin, while Lv Mo's carriages were all trucks, so their speed was naturally slower. They had to stay in the mountains for three nights before they could cross the mountains and reach Deer Horn Town.

When the sky was getting dark, Lv Mo found the Chen family's wife and discussed finding a place to stay. The Chen family's wife was a woman, so she naturally listened to Lv Mo's arrangements. Lv Mo commanded the carriages to travel for a while and found a place where other caravans had stayed. He ordered them to stop and set up camp.

This was a place where the traveling merchants often set up their tents. It was backed by green mountains and beside it was a stream. The ground was also relatively flat. Some of the stakes used to set up the tents were also ready-made. Whoever happened to arrive at this place could just use them and save a lot of effort.

With these foundations, their tents were quickly set up. Night fell quickly in the mountains. When the tents were just set up, the sky was already dark. Lv Mo's carriages had guards, so they were naturally responsible for the night patrol.

The Chen family's wife was a woman and usually didn't go out much. Now that they had traveled such a long distance, her body was already tired, so she only ate a simple dinner and then went into the tent with her daughter. Soon, she fell asleep.

Chen Muyan's sixth brother didn't sleep. He dawdled and pretended to take care of his group of people. When everyone went into the tent, he quietly rushed to Lv Mo's tent. As soon as Chen Laoliu saw Lv Mo, he bowed and said, "Master Lv, when do you think we should make our move?"

Lv Mo asked, "Have they all rested?"

Chen Laoliu nodded. Lv Mo nodded and said, "Good! Let's wait for them to sleep a little more and make our move in an hour. "

Chen Laoliu nodded and quickly sneaked out again. When he passed by the coffins placed between the tents, Chen Laoliu stopped and put his palms together in front of Chen Muyan's coffin. He silently prayed, "Cousin, if your spirit is watching from the heavens, please don't blame me for offending you. A poor man has no choice!

Cousin, you've made so much money, but you didn't help your family at all. In the end, it was all confiscated by the officials. Brother is only borrowing your coffin. Shopkeeper Lv said that after the matter is done, he will give us a thousand taels of silver as a reward!

Cousin, that's a thousand taels of silver! Our whole family will be able to live a good life. Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely give the majority of the reward to sister-in-law. Our Chen family will also take good care of sister-in-law and niece. We will not let them be bullied. Cousin, if your spirit is watching from the heavens, please bless me. "

Chen Laoliu nagged for a long time before he tiptoed away. After half an hour, a group of black shadows quietly moved. They sneakily sneaked in front of the coffin. Because they still had to travel the next morning, the ropes and wooden poles were still on the coffin. They lifted it up and left.

To open the coffin, moving here would inevitably cause a commotion. Perhaps it might wake up people who did not know, so they quietly carried the coffin into the pinewood forest. After the coffin was carried into the pinewood forest, they quickly untied the ropes and wooden poles. Someone took out a few crowbars and with a creaking sound, the coffin was pried open.

Lifting the coffin lid, the pine oil torch shone inside. They saw that the coffin was filled with all kinds of Nanyang treasures. There were at least twenty to thirty elephant tusks. Lu Mo's face revealed a trace of a proud smile. Stroking his beard, he said, "All of you, move faster and get all the goods out!"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a 'boom' sound all around. Suddenly, countless torches lit up. The sharp spears were illuminated by the light of the torches, making their tips shine like snow. Hua Yunfei's clear voice came from the darkness, "All of you are not to move. Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot!"

Lu Mo and the others turned pale with fright. They saw shadows in the darkness and did not know how many people were lurking around. Under the illumination of the lanterns and torches, they were simply a group of live targets. If they tried to resist, a round of spears would probably kill them all.

Lu Mo's face was ashen. He could only grit his teeth and ordered, "No one is to act rashly! We … surrender! "

…

"Brother-in-law, you're awake!"

"Ah …"

"Brother-in-law, Register Wang has been arrested!"

"Ah?"

"Not only Register Wang, but also Jia Lumo of the Great Shang Dynasty. They are in cahoots."

"Ah?"

"Ah! Chang Zi Zai and Chen Muyan were just used to deceive people. The real smugglers are actually the Lord Registrar and Lv Mo! "

"Ah!"

Hua Qingfeng's eyes widened. This time, he was really awake.

Hua Qingfeng was drunk last night and was carried back to the government office by Su Xuntian. Naturally, he was sent to his sister's room to rest. That night, Hua Qingfeng was so drunk that he could not get out of bed. He only woke up at dawn. Su Xuntian, who had been waiting by his side, could not hold back and immediately told him the news. However, he did not explain it clearly. In the end, Hua Qingfeng was still in a daze. He did not understand what Su Xuntian meant when he said the words' Ping ',' Go ',' Go 'and' Enter '.

Su Ya glared at her brother and said to Hua Qingfeng, "Master, it's like this …"

Su Ya heard the story from Su Xuntian, but her explanation was much more organized than Su Xuntian's. After all, they had been husband and wife for many years. She was very clear about her husband's thinking habits and ability to understand. It was a very complicated matter, but after she explained it in a concise manner, the still dizzy Hua Qingfeng actually understood it.

After listening to Su Ya, Hua Qingfeng sat on the couch, dumbfounded. Su Ya looked at him worriedly and tried to call out, "Master?"

The corner of Hua Qingfeng's mouth flattened. He looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears, "How could this be? How could this be? County Magistrate Meng, collapsed! County Magistrate Xu, collapsed! Register Wang, collapsed! What will the higher-ups think? Are there still good people in my Hulu County? "

Su Ya did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, you are worrying too much. Thinking back to the time when they joined hands to suppress you, they bound your hands and feet. If they had no selfish motives, why would they do that? Now, it's just karma. Master, quickly wash up and change your clothes. We still need you to preside over such a big case. This is a great merit. "

As Su Ya spoke, she passed the hot towel to Hua Qingfeng. He blankly took it and wiped his face. He called out, "Ya 'er!"

Su Ya saw his serious expression and did not know what urgent matter it was. She quickly asked, "Master?"

Hua Qingfeng said, "Bring a cup of herbal tea, I'm thirsty!"
