Great Lawyer

Chapter 85 The Smell of Money ([-])

Du Jiuyan can ride a horse, but it is the first time for him to run a long distance.

"If you're not proficient, let's walk slowly, you should get familiar with it first." Cai Zhuoru got on the horse and took another horse, seeing that Du Jiuyan was already sitting firmly, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What else can you not know? "

Du Jiuyan clamped the horse's belly, and the horse kicked its hooves and walked slowly, "There are many things I don't know, such as... horse racing."

These words sounded so weird, Cai Zhuoru coughed, "Wait outside the city, I'll teach you!"

"No, I'll just try it." Du Jiuyan was still walking slowly, Cai Zhuoru smiled and said, "Okay!"

After returning home to pick up the silver hand, the three of them went out of the city and went to the official road.

Du Jiuyan trotted twice, stopped again, ran again and again, and by the fourth time she sensed the horse's temperament, flicked the short whip, and shouted: "Mr. Cai, let's go!"

"You're really smart." Like a gust of wind, Du Jiuyan had already walked a long way, and Cai Zhuoru followed with a light smile.

Yinshou proudly said: "Of course, my ninth brother's intelligence is invincible in the world."

Cai Zhuoru has already experienced the adoration of Du Jiuyan by the children of Yinshou and Huazi, and even by the people in Sanchitang.

Her infectious power really cannot be underestimated, even he has unconditionally trusted her after a few short contacts.

I always feel that as long as she is here, any difficulties will be easily resolved.

The three of them rushed to the evening and stayed overnight in the inn. Du Jiuyan washed and lay on the bed, only to feel sore all over his body, and it was difficult to turn over.

After barely sleeping, Cai Zhuoru felt worse the next day. Seeing her complexion, Cai Zhuoru asked, "Do you need to rest here for a whole day, so don't be so anxious."

"It's not too late to rest when you arrive in Xinhua." Du Jiuyan got on the horse, and Cai Zhuoru smiled and said, "Mr. Du is really a stubborn person."

Du Jiuyan didn't answer and walked ahead, Yinshou was about to praise, Cai Zhuoru said: "Brother Yinshou, I understand!"

"It's good to know." Yinshou said, patted the horse and shouted: "Ninth Brother, let's come to the horse race."

It has not rained for a long time, and the official roads are full of dust. Along the way, you can always see people heading east with their families. It is not like fleeing famine, but simply migrating.

"Xinhua borders Guangxi, and the environment there is not good. Since two years ago, many people have slowly started to migrate because they are afraid of war." Cai Zhuoru sighed, "All this is thanks to King Gui. If the prince doesn’t do it, he wants to go to the backcountry to rebel.”

"Isn't there no way out?" Du Jiuyan didn't know anything about King Gui, only that he rebelled.

Cai Zhuoru chuckled, shook his head and said, "The rebels in all dynasties, no matter whether they were justified or unreasonable, always had various reasons for their helplessness, and King Gui's rebellion had no other reason than idleness."

"Idle?" Du Jiuyan said in surprise: "He occupies land as king, recruits troops and buys horses, and is in a stalemate with the court, all because he is idle? That's a good reason!"

Cai Zhuoru looked at Xinhua that was getting closer, and thought that Guangxi would be here after he passed, so he said in a complicated tone: "King Gui and the current Holy Master are brothers of the same mother. The three armies, but the governor's mansion of the five armies is in his hands."

"It can be said that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people. What's more, he has the care of his biological mother, the Empress Dowager. If he doesn't do it, his life will be more comfortable than the Holy One."

"But who knew, two years ago, he suddenly gave up his pick, and brought dozens of confidants, went to Guangxi to kill Lord Min, the governor, occupied the area of ​​Guangxi, and proclaimed himself King Gui!"

"Tell me, is he free?" This matter, not only he can't figure it out, I'm afraid everyone in the world can't figure it out.

Well, the serious prince doesn't want to do it, so he went to Guangxi to be the king of Gui.

For someone else, even if you want to occupy it, you must occupy a prosperous place. Even Huguang is better than Guangxi!
"I don't understand!" Cai Zhuoru shook his head helplessly, "Perhaps, there is an unknown reason."

Du Jiuyan felt that if she was the king of Gui and insisted on occupying land as the king, she would choose Guangxi as well.

Although compared with the south of the Yangtze River and the capital city, it is indeed a remote place.But the emperor was beyond his reach, and there was no pain or itching and no big loss. Naturally, the urgency to kill him or recover him would not be strong.

In this way, he was given plenty of time.

For example, he has occupied Guangxi for two years, and he is doing his best to guard the border, but he has not sent a single soldier from the capital.

She doesn't know if King Gui is free or not, but this man must be a very shrewd person!

As for why he suddenly turned against each other... There are always reasons for smart people to do things.

"He didn't do anything other than occupying land as king?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Cai Zhuoru replied: "That's not true. In the past two years, the population of Guangxi has increased rapidly, the people's life is stable, and the fertile land has a good harvest. He is still capable."

"Didn't send troops to grab the territory?" Du Jiuyan felt strange. Could it be because he wasn't ready?

Cai Zhuoru shook his head, "No! Everyone can't figure out this matter. If it is said that he will not rob, but since he occupied the land and became the queen, there have been a lot of troubles in the two places. But if he is said to rob, he has indeed not sent troops in the past two years. "

Du Jiuyan nodded, curious about King Gui.

"Ninth Brother, Xinhua is just ahead." Yinshou looked excited, "Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time."

Du Jiuyan looked at him.

"When I was more than ten years old, I still stayed here for a while. I have two brothers. After Jinpen washed his hands, he went with a big brother Wang. I didn't have a partner, so I went to Shaoyang." Yinshou smiled Said: "When I come back this time, I will take time to meet them."

"It's nothing, you can go to see him anytime." Du Jiuyan said, and the three of them dismounted, "Young Master Cai, when will your men arrive?"

Cai Zhuoru replied: "I can arrive within five days. I'm fine these few days and I just happen to be with you."

When the three of them entered the city, the soldiers patrolling at the gate of the city shouted, and Du Jiuyan led the horse, walking unhurriedly.

"What are you doing, Du Die?" A short, thin-eyed, yellow-toothed soldier in a soldier's uniform pointed at Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan took the certificate and handed it over, and said with a smile, "Brother, where does Lord Qiu live?"

"Who is your brother!" Huang Maosibing threw the certificate back to her, "Go, go, don't get in the way here." He waved his hand, and suddenly a tael of silver was stuffed into his hand.

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "I work in Shaoyang Yamen, and we are half of the same company, so it's convenient."

"Are you in Shaoyang Yamen?" Huangmao Sibing collected the money skillfully, and looked at Du Jiuyan, "Shaoyang Yamen, what are you doing here in Xinhua? Is there any order from above?"

Du Jiuyan looked left and right, turned his eyes slyly, and looked afraid of being overheard, "Someone in Shaoyang sued you Si Bing, our lord asked me to ask what's going on."

"Sue us?" Huangmao Sibing's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at a leader who was sitting in the bank drinking tea, "Who sued, and what?"

Du Jiuyan took a look at the tea drinkers. He was dressed in the chief's robes, he was a tall man with a big knife, he put his foot on the bench, and pointed at the people who went to the city to pay taxes.

"How can I say that." Du Jiuyan withdrew his gaze, feeling confident.

Huangmao Sibing thought for a while, "Lord Qiu's mansion is diagonally opposite the yamen, it's easy to find, you'll know when you go."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, brother, I'll treat you to a drink another day." She said, and left with Cai Zhuoru and Yinshou, all three of them glanced at the person drinking tea.

The three went to the city and found an inn to live in.

"What are you going to do first?" Cai Zhuoru looked at Du Jiuyan when the three of them had dinner downstairs, "Go directly to the prison and meet Wang Maosheng as a litigator? Or should we find out the details of those people first?"

"Go see cousin Wang Maosheng first." Du Jiuyan said.

They don't have any acquaintances in Xinhua, and they want to know clearly that Wang Maosheng's cousin may be the best candidate.

"You really are...well, tomorrow we will go to Wang Maosheng's cousin." Cai Zhuoru laughed, put down the chopsticks, looked at the silver hand, "You go to your old brother tomorrow, or stay with us."

Chewing the food with silver hands, he replied: "I'm here to accompany Brother Jiu on business, and I'll find a chance to meet them after Brother Jiu finishes his work."

"Then let's go together. Rest early tonight. We will go out of the city tomorrow. Horses cannot be ridden on the road over there. We will leave the horses here." Cai Zhuoru said.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

The three of them went back to their rooms to rest after dinner. Early the next morning, they walked through the city and left the city to the west. Outside the city were rolling mountains, some with verdant flowers and trees, and some with strange rocks. Cai Zhuoru said : "Turn it over, it's Guangxi."

"But the Salt Mountain is a treasure!" Cai Zhuoru pointed to one of the mountains and said in a low voice, "Wang Maosheng's elder brother is in that mountain."

Why Yanshan is a treasure, Du Jiuyan already knew, but after she climbed two hills, she still showed an even more surprised expression.

"This smell!" She sniffed the smell floating in the air, "It really is iron, Wang Maosheng's cousin is very good."

Cai Zhuoru casually picked up the stone under his feet, weighed it in his hand, "If I didn't tell his cousin that he owns an iron mine, would you come?"

"Don't come!" Du Jiuyan said: "This case is not challenging, and it is thankless. But it is not so miserable that I feel sympathetic, so...the iron mine is better."

Cai Zhuoru laughed out loud.

　Well, it's a mine!Mine is money, haha!
