Chapter 234 On the Eve of the Plan, the Locating of the Money Bag
Da Niu stood at the study door, looking up at Jiang Bei with a smirk:
"Uncle, my mother and Lord Dou are discussing matters, so today's study session may be a little late!"
Uncle, come over in a bit!
Jiang Bei glanced down at Da Niu, who seemed to be "trying to slack off," and a smile crept onto his lips.
"You're not the only one with a study. Come on, let's go next door and use my study!"
Upon hearing this, Da Niu's smile instantly froze, and he inwardly groaned.
He looked to his father for help, his eyes full of reluctance.
Who is his father? He's his mortal enemy!
He even dawdled, so Lin Xi went up and gave him a push.
They pushed his dead child out of the courtyard, then closed the door and clapped their hands!
Out of sight out of mind!
Get out of here!
Da Niu was stunned; his father's desire for his son to succeed was so obvious.
He usually has to practice martial arts, attend classes at the academy, and study when he gets back. Occasionally, he gets tired and wants to rest.
But his father had high hopes for him, and he couldn't let him down.
Da Niu looked up at Jiangbei and secretly made up his mind: "Uncle, I'll go with you right now, study hard, and pass the imperial examination next spring!"
Jiang Bei smiled with satisfaction and patted Da Niu on the shoulder:
"Good lad, you have ambition! Your uncle believes you can do it."
Da Niu clenched his fists, strutted confidently to the next room, determined to study hard and stay up all night to live up to his father's high expectations!
Lin Xi was overjoyed to see her dead child go next door!
His "pain" is the source of his happiness!
I quickly ran into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Ah Li, with a dark face, was rummaging through the kitchen cabinets, lifting pot lids one by one.
"Ah... Ah Li, what are you doing?" Lin Xi was completely baffled by Ah Li as soon as she entered the kitchen.
Ah Li didn't say anything, put down the pot lid, and then walked out sullenly.
Seeing his expression, Lin Xi chuckled, quickly took out a wooden basin, scooped out a bowl of flour, and kneaded it with brown sugar.
After a short while, the fried dough sticks were ready and placed in front of Ah Li. "Eat up, freshly fried 'cat ear'!"
Ah Li's face, which had been dark, brightened with obvious joy when he saw the plate of golden and crispy "cat ears" pastries.
He held the bowl, reached out and took a piece, putting it in his mouth. The sweet and crispy texture made it a very nice dessert after the meal!
Hearing the sound, Madam Feng peeked out of the bedroom window and stared at Ah Li's bowl:
"Ah Li, what are you eating? I want to try some too!"
After saying that, he quickly ran out of the room to get it.
Ah Li is known for being possessive of her food, so she immediately grabbed her bowl and flew up to the roof.
Lady Feng was unwilling to comply.
Just like her name suggests, she is round and cute, and her biggest hobby is eating sweets!
Immediately, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, used the pillars of the veranda for leverage, and climbed onto the roof.
The two chased each other across the rooftop, from one side to the other.
With a sizzle, the study door opened.
Gao Mengli and Dou Weiyi came out.
Dou Weiyi looked up at Feng Cheng on the roof and smiled knowingly: "It's been a long time since I've seen Cheng'er so lively! She's always hungry and cold with me, it's rare to see her chasing after food like this!"
After speaking, he turned to look at Lin Xi thoughtfully.
Lin Xi was taken aback by the stare, and pursed her lips.
She turned around and kicked the kitchen threshold. "Am I really that bored? Of all the things I could do, why did I have to make cat ears???"
Even so, people still resigned themselves to kneading the red and white dough, rolling it out, rolling it up together, cutting it off, and deep-frying it in a pot.
After a while, everyone was eating!
Dou Weiyi even went to the door to pick a bunch of banana leaves from Dajun's house, packed them into a bag, and took them back to the mountains to eat!
As soon as everyone left, Lin Xi walked over to Gao Mengli and quietly asked:
When are they planning to depart?
Gao Mengli looked around; the obvious attempt to cover up the truth was all too clear.
At least, Ah Li, sitting on the roof, could see it clearly.
"It will probably be three days later, and then Zhou Gonggong's grain escort team will leave the territory of Ling'an Prefecture."
That way, if something goes wrong, they won't suspect us.
The world was in chaos, and bandits roamed freely. In the end, the only conclusion was that the robbery was committed by bandits, and the investigation couldn't trace it back to our place.
After all, there are no surveillance cameras here. If they deny everything, no one will know that they did it.
After robbing the grain, they went to "rob" the Lotus Sect.
After all, the Lotus Sect has been accumulating wealth for many years, and it must have a lot of illicit funds. When they arrest people, that will be a good opportunity.
By capturing them and having them perform forced labor, the immediate needs for manpower, money, and food were temporarily met.
The rest is up to Pingyao County to develop slowly, transport its local specialties to other prefectures to sell, collect money from those prefectures, and strengthen Pingyao.
When the time comes, money can solve 99% of problems, so what can't be accomplished?!
"but……"
Gao Mengli suddenly changed her style and looked up at A Li on the roof:
"Dou Weiyi wants to borrow Ah Li!"
Ah Li on the roof: ...
The biggest regret in the world is that he had countless opportunities to succeed in the assassination, but he chose to retire from the underworld and quit...
Otherwise, with Dou Weiyi's head, worth five thousand taels of silver, who else could it be but him!
However, although he was an assassin, Rain Night Pavilion did not expect him to kill anyone when they sent him.
He is a catapult path.
After all, he was ranked number one on the Heavenly Killing List, so his strength was considerable.
Because, to date, no one has ever escaped death at his hands.
Therefore, this number one is at the bottom of the list of most ruthless killers!
Lin Xi looked up at A Li and said he hadn't heard, but he didn't believe her.
But judging from his appearance, if we discuss it with him again in three days, he'll probably give up on the spot.
After all, Ah Li works for his family, not for them!
So he took a couple of steps, looked up at Ah Li and asked, "Ah Li, how about you make a trip for me in three days?"
Ah Li lay on her side with her hands behind her head, selectively deaf.
Lin Xi: ……
"If you agree to go, I'll make you a braised pork knuckle and some spicy pickled fish when you come back, how about that?"
Ah Li's ears twitched slightly, but he kept his eyes closed and remained silent.
Lin Xi's lips twitched at the sight.
That brat, he's pretty good at manipulating people?
"every day!"
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, A Li immediately jumped down from the roof and nodded to Lin Xi: "Okay."
As he spoke, he went to the kitchen, brought out the whetstone, and began to sit down and sharpen his crescent blade.
After all, to do something well, you must first have the right tools.
Lin Xi rolled her eyes, speechless.
Three days later.
The aunties in the village got up before dawn.
They quickly started a fire to steam cornbread, boil eggs, and make pancakes, loading them onto the large horse-drawn carriage so that Dou Weiyi and the bandits could eat on their journey.
Because the chubby girl and her friends were skilled, they went along too.
The restaurants in the county town were vacant, so Zhao Chen's younger brother, Zhao Ye, and his family filled in.
Lin Xi cooked a pot of braised pork hock and put it in a jar:
"Ah Li, take this to eat on the way, and remember to share some with Fatty and the others."
Don't be sad, I'll make you more when you get back after you've finished eating.
Ah Li stared at the jar of braised pork knuckle with shining eyes, and nodded, "Okay."
