Chapter 161: Behind the scenes
"Mr. Wu. How was it before the rain?" Zhang Shiping picked up the teacup and took a bite, and asked Wu Nian with a smile.
"Good tea." Wu Nian praised without hesitation. Then, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he pinched the note, held it in his palm, and stuffed it into his belt.
A cup of tea was quickly finished. Wu Nian put down the tea cup, clasped his fists at Zhang Shiping and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang for the tea treat, I'm leaving."
"Please, Lord Wu." Zhang Shiping also stood up and hugged his fists politely. Then he arranged for a slave to send Wu Nian out of the mansion.
"Sir. What should we do now?" Zhang Jin asked in a deep voice after leaving the mansion.
Wu Nian pinched a note, and Zhang Jin stood behind him and naturally saw it.
There were only four people in the main hall.
The note must have been given by Zhang Shiping, so the person Zhang Shiping needs to be guarded against is Qian Guangyuan. What is the medicine here?
Only by reading the note can you understand clearly.
Long Qi looked at the expressions of the two brothers and wondered, what are you doing?
"Get out of the city first and find a secluded place." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"yes."
Long Qi and Zhang Jin responded, and the coachmen drove the horses to pull the large baggage cart, and the personnel followed the guards, turned around and left the city through the original city gate.
Wu Nian also asked Chen Jiagui to stare at the monkey who was flying in the sky. After confirming that no one was following him, he found a secluded place and stopped.
Wu Nian got off the carriage, turned his back to everyone, took out the notes to watch. Zhang Jin and Long Qi poked out two heads from behind and looked at the notes in Wu Nian's hand.
"Tomorrow at noon, the Hou family gathers and see the land temple."
Along the way, Wu Nian and Zhang Jin never revealed it. Long Qi didn't know the inside story and was confused. What was going on? Where did the notes come from?
Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were moved.
"This Zhang Shiping is most likely a prisoner. The man named Qian Guangyuan is not Mr. Xixi, but a prisoner."
Wu Nian showed a deep look on his face, and after exhaling a long breath, he said to Zhang Jin.
"This is the Erwuguan area. Zhang Shiping has a great influence. Those who can control him are either the Chu court or the Mongol Yuan people. I prefer the latter." Zhang Jin nodded and guessed further.
"Well. Brother and I have a coincidence."
Wu Young nodded gently.
If the Chu court controlled Zhang Shiping, there was no need to treat him like this.
"Sir, what should we do? Or not?" Zhang Jin asked.
Wu Young shook his head lightly, then sat down after a stone, lowered his head and began to ponder.
The confused Long Qi grabbed Zhang Jin's arm and asked for advice.
"Go. Come on. I came here for the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Now things are strange. Zhang Shiping may have this thing in his hands."
"Second. If the Mongols really controlled Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping would convey the message in this way. I can't ignore it."
Wu Nian raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and he was moving forward.
"Well said, we will make up the bad things that the Mongols want to do." Long Qi took advantage of this time to know the whole story, clenched his fists with his hands and said loudly.
"Let's go. Let's go to Houjiaji first and find the Land Temple."
Wu Nian stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and turned over the horse with agility, and ordered loudly.
"Yes." Everyone responded, and the team set out again, led the way to the Hou family by a brother familiar with the terrain.
The next morning, Wu Nian and others arrived at Houjiaji.
The location of Houjiaji is very remote, and now after the plague, Houjiaji has also suffered a huge blow, with local people dying and fleeing.
Although it was daytime, the entire Hou Family Collection was filled with a gloomy smell.
After asking an old man, Wu Nian and others came to a very remote place far away from Hou Family Ji.
A deserted land temple stands beside a large century-old tree.
The team stopped outside the Land Temple. Wu Nian looked at the surrounding terrain and said to Zhang Jin: "Brother, please take someone to the Land Temple to take a look."
"Brother, take the monkey with you and go to the nearby place to take a look."
"You must be careful of others. Be careful of ambushing."
"yes."
Long Qi and Zhang Jin responded and each took his men down. Wu Nian saw a stone under the big tree, and he didn't bother to worry about it, so he sat down.
Not long after, Long Qi and Zhang Jin brought their men back, and there were no enemies in the Tudi Temple and nearby.
Wu Nian nodded, set up a guard task, and then waited with peace of mind.
It was soon noon.
Wu Nian's ears stood up and heard a burst of rapid horse hooves. The guards around him immediately changed direction. Wu Nian also stood up and looked forward.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing black clothes and looking ordinary, rode a tall horse to Wu Nian.
"But Mr. Wu?" The middle-aged man turned over and got off the horse, and seemed to be not very good at riding. He was unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
"That's it. Are you?" Wu Nian asked with a clasped his fists.
"I am Zhang Shiping's slave, my reputation is not worth mentioning." The middle-aged man gasped and said hurriedly: "Our master, let me tell Lord Wu. His whole family was controlled by the Mongolian Yuan people, and the Mongolian Yuan people were the Mongolian Yuan people.
People forced him to sell Mongolian Yuan specialties such as Dongzhu, ginseng, and Korean ginseng."
"That person named Qian Guangyuan is the lackey of the Mongols."
"Our master heard that Lord Wu, you are an enemy of half of Zhang, intercepted a batch of supplies from the Mongol Yuan people. Later, he heard that Lord Wu killed more than a dozen Mongol Yuan people at the gate of the city. He must be someone worth entrusting.
.”
The middle-aged man said so much, but he didn't point directly to the core. Wu Nian was a little impatient and asked, "Your master is planning to let me save him?"
"Don't dare." The middle-aged man clasped his fists solemnly and shook his head at Wu Nian and said, "My master dare not expect Lord Wu to save his life. But there is a message, please send it to Wei Changqing and General Wei."
As he said that, the middle-aged man pointed to the Temple of Blade Land and said, "In the lobby of this temple, Lord Wu digs three feet into the ground and will see a thousand taels of silver. This is a reward."
Special code.
This matter is getting weirder.
I just came to get a hundred-year-old ginseng. One thousand taels of silver is very good, but it is not interesting to add one more silver now. It is better to add one more ton of grain than ton of food.
Wu Nian was a little impatient, but he still suppressed his temper and asked, "What news?"
"My master was controlled by the Mongols and the Mongols were not prepared for him. So he got some news. This time the plague was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
"The people of the Yuan Dynasty killed many livestock, died prisoners, intercepted many Han people, and used their bodies to cause plague. Let the people of the Liu Family Quan Sect spread water sources all over Liaodong."
"The Liu Family Quan Sect is the largest Quan Sect in Liaodong. Many high-ranking officials and nobles hired their people as bodyguards and guarding the hospital. They completely defected to the Mongolian Yuan people, which is too big."
"If this news doesn't spread, there will be chaos."
Wu Nian seemed to be hit by an electric current, and her whole body was shocked. Her hands stretched out like lightning, grabbed the middle-aged man's collar, raised him up, and her eyes widened.
