Travel to ancient times to be a fast catcher

Chapter 45

Chu Xiaoyun looked at Su Wen who was curled up under the blanket, and felt soft inside unconsciously. It's such a good feeling to have someone who cares about you, to have someone you care about!

The carriage creaked forward, and Yu He, who was riding the horse, asked: "Brother Chu, it's noon, and the sun is getting bigger and bigger, do you want to rest for a while?"

Chu Xiaoyun lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up at the sun , said to Yu He: "Okay, let's rest for a while. It is best to find a place with water and shade."

Yu He looked forward: "Not far ahead, the river beach is connected to the official road, and there are two rivers on the side. A big tree is just the best place in your mind."

"Okay, then rest there."

After Chu Xiaoyun and Yu He finished speaking, they put down the curtains and looked at Su Wen, "Wenwen, are you hungry? Hungry?"

Su Wen smiled: "Fortunately, I was quite full in the morning."

Looking at Su Wen, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help but take a few mouthfuls of his little husband's cheek. He couldn't wait more and more, and wanted to marry Ming Meizheng back.

Su Wen blushed, gently pushed Chu Xiaoyun, and suppressed his voice: "There are people outside."

Chu Xiaoyun stroked Su Wen's red lips kissed by him, and said in a low voice: "I will Give me a kiss, they won't know."

At the place Yu He said, the group stopped to rest. Yu Hedao: "Most of the places where Hejing County meets Yunling County are mountainous places. There are not many people on this road. There is only an inn thirty miles ahead. If you can't catch up or miss it, you have to sleep in the wilderness. After the rest, we have to hurry up." Hurry up.

Hearing Yu He's words, Chu Xiaoyun was even more fortunate to have Yu He accompany him on this business trip.

They gathered some firewood, set up a pot, and started cooking food. While eating happily, Chu Xiaoyun heard a few slight sounds from the woods behind him, not like the sound of wind blowing. He looked back, but found nothing. Chu Xiaoyun put down the bun in his hand, squeezed the saber around his waist, and asked Yu He: "Did you hear any noise?"

Yu He also put down the bun in his hand: "I thought it was my hallucination, you Did you hear that too?"

The two stood up with their sabers in their hands, and looked around their surroundings with their backs facing each other. This place is a wide river beach, facing the river and distant fields and forests, behind it is the official road winding at the foot of the mountain, next to the official road is a dense forest, this is the best hiding place for assassins. Chu Xiaoyun said: "You can't stay here for long, you have to leave quickly. Be vigilant on the road."

Yu He replied "OK", let go of the hand holding the saber, and called the driver Ran Gui to pack the luggage together. During this period, Chu Xiaoyun protected Su Wen, watching the surrounding environment with a vigilant expression.

Under the protection of Chu Xiaoyun, Su Wenwo asked fearfully: "My husband, is there any danger? Who will come to harm us?"

Chu Xiaoyun didn't look at him, but said softly: "Don't be afraid, my husband is here Well. No one can hurt you."

That being said, Chu Xiaoyun didn't know what to do. Judging by the way the other party killed the informant, he was obviously not an opponent, and Yu He might not be, and he still doesn't know yet. How many people came from the other party.

But no matter what, Su Wen and Ran Gui are relying on him and Yu He now, they must not be afraid.

After returning to the carriage, Chu Xiaoyun asked Su Wen to lie down under the quilt to minimize the possible damage. He no longer sat in the carriage, but sat with Ran Gui on the side of the carriage near the mountains and forests. Always be on the lookout for ambushes that may pounce at any time.

Watching the shadow of the carriage disappear at the curve ahead, three black figures jumped out from the forest. The masked human on the left said: "Why don't you kill them? It's not easy to deal with them with the three-legged cat skills of these county government arresters?" The

human in the middle said: "Although they are as small as dust, don't forget, now they represent The official of Dacheng. If these people die like this, the government will definitely investigate. Isn't this causing trouble for our great cause." "

This person has ruined our good deeds several times. He went to Yunling this time. What should I do?" The person on the right asked.

"The traces of printing have been erased, what can he find out. Of course, if he breaks through the defense line of the printing workshop, what should be left, and what should be left for him." The man in the middle said.

"It's cheaper for him this time." The man on the left looked at the direction Chu Xiaoyun and his party were leaving, and said bitterly.

After walking for more than ten miles, I didn't find anything unusual. Yu He gradually relaxed: "It's okay, did we think too much?"

Chu Xiaoyun said, "There's nothing wrong with being vigilant."

"That's true." Yu He said, "We're just outside the border of Hejing County. After walking for more than ten miles, you can reach the Yunhe Inn."

After crossing the border between the two counties, you can see the hemp plants planted in the field along the way. The next day, they drove another thirty miles to Yunling County. They didn't stop when they entered the county seat, and went directly to the county government office to hand over the letter of worship.

The arresting house in Yunling County saw their letter of worship and read the Hu Wen book, and learned that this matter involved Hu people, they took it very seriously.

Although most of the paper in Yunling County is made of hemp materials, there are still differences in different workshops, different hemp materials, differences in production techniques, craftsmanship, water sources, etc.

The paper from various workshops was filtered through Su Wen's nose, and finally found the paper workshop that was consistent with the printing of Hu Wen's books. According to the customer list provided by the paper workshop, they began to check the printing workshop one by one.

I went to all the printing workshops, and none of the workshops admitted to printing that book, and Su Wen didn't smell exactly the same as that Hu Wen book. Leaving the last printing bookstore, the headhunter in Yunling County looked at Su Wen with some doubts: "He can smell the difference with just one sniff? Can't make a mistake?" Chu Xiaoyun protected his

baby: " Wenwen has extraordinary talent in this area, and many things have verified his ability before, so he can't be wrong. There must be some link that we missed." Seeing that he couldn't find the printing

workshop, Su Wen felt very guilty and shrank. There was no sound in Chu Xiaoyun's arms. Hearing what Chu Xiaoyun said, he suddenly exclaimed, "I know what's going on."

Everyone looked at Su Wen.

"Ink, it's ink." Su Wen, who had reacted, exclaimed in surprise, "They must have changed the ink, so they couldn't find the same taste of the book." Chu Xiaoyun quickly recalled: "Yes, the

paper is not However, if the ink used in the printing workshop is changed, the taste of the book will not be exactly the same." "

Then... what should we do now?" Yunling County's headhunter asked.

"Why don't we check the printing factory carefully again, I believe that there will always be clues left behind by what we have done." Chu Xiaoyun suggested.

The head hunter of Yunling County nodded in embarrassment after hearing this: "Okay, then try again. But be careful, there is only one chance."

Chu Xiaoyun was a little puzzled why the head catcher of Yunling County said such words , but on someone else's site, you have to abide by other people's rules. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

The group returned to the printing workshop they checked last, this time, starting from his house.

After Yunling County Butou and his party moved forward, Yu He quietly posted on it and said to Chu Xiaoyun: "Now Yan Butou has a competitor in the Yunling County Butou's room. So now Yan Butou is also working hard."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded knowingly. If they searched repeatedly and found no results, they might have to leave someone with something to talk about, making it difficult for Yan Butou to do.

Seeing that Chu Xiaoyun and his party went back and forth, the people in the printing workshop were quite puzzled, and the owner of the workshop came forward to greet him: "I don't know why the servants went back and forth?"

Yan Butou said: "Before there were some The doubt has not been resolved, we have to investigate again."

The other party listened, and frowned unconsciously: "Yan Butou, our workshop was also approved by the county government for opening, and your repeated searches have affected us too much. Business. The county magistrate will not be happy either."

Yan Butou said: "This case interferes a lot, and I hope the owner will forgive me."

After talking, Chu Xiaoyun was quite surprised. I remember learning the ranking of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce in elementary school history. In ancient times, although merchants were rich, they were at the bottom of society. Where did they come from to challenge the officials in the yamen. Although the status of the catcher is not high, but with the yamen as their reliance, ordinary people dare not offend.

But when he heard that the other party moved out of the county magistrate, he understood the relationship. It seems that no place is pure, and there are factional disputes everywhere. This Yan Butou, after getting along with Chu Xiaoyun all day, he felt that he was not bad, if he was going to face the pressure of the county magistrate, it would be a little daunting. After all, the county magistrate is the head of a county!

It was impossible for the police to detect the differences in the graphite used in printed books, and it could only be done by Su Wen. Su Wen whispered some of his thoughts in Chu Xiaoyun's ear. After hearing this, Chu Xiaoyun straightened up and asked, "Do you still have books that were printed a month and a half ago?"

Fangzhu said: "Where are there books that have been so long? They are printed only after they are ordered, and they are handed over to customers after printing. If the books so long ago have not been sold, the small shop will be at a loss." "The

half Did something strange happen in the workshop a month ago?" Chu Xiaoyun asked again.

The owner of the workshop shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."

Seeing a clerk adding ground ink to the printing ink cartridge and spilling a drop, the workshop owner immediately turned to the clerk and scolded: "Be careful, this ink is not Did you spend money to buy it? Last time, that piece of ink only printed so many books, I don't know how much you have wasted!"

Then I heard a guy next to me muttering: "It's been more than half a month, and I take it out every day. "

Chu Xiaoyun was keenly aware of the difference, he waved to the muttering guy: "What's going on?" "

What?" The guy was a little puzzled.

"It's what you said about half a month ago." Chu Xiaoyun said.

After hearing this, the owner of the workshop turned around and glared at the guy: "You are so powerful, do you still want to do it?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "What is the owner's intention at this time? Could it be that you have something to hide?

" The tone became higher: "I will have something to hide, this is a big matter involving barbarians. Don't pour dirty water on me." "

Then, if I have something to ask him, let him answer, is it okay?" Chu Xiaoyun said , "You can't make things difficult for him, otherwise the arresting house will be treated as your revenge."

The master laughed: "Isn't it just something they wasted? There is nothing you can't say. You like to ask."

Chu Xiaoyun turned to the guy and said: "tell me the story."

"There was a piece of ink half a month ago, and it was said that the number of books printed was less than before and after. But we really didn't waste it, and I don't know why, but we printed less than before." The guy said.

"Is it that you printed fewer books than before?" Chu Xiaoyun grasped the key words and said, "Then Mo really printed fewer books than before?" "Yes!" The man said, "But we really don't know what's going

on ."

The other guys in the workshop also talked about their feelings.

"That's true, and we don't know why it happened. The piece of ink seemed to be shortened a lot overnight. When I saw the piece of ink the next day, I thought it was a mistake." "Yes, that's right.

Then One piece of ink is like printing a book for a few hours less than other inks, but we all use it the same way, which is really strange." At

this moment, Su Wen took out a few sheets of paper that had errors in the printing process from the corner of the printing machine, Put it under your nose and sniff. He sniffed again in disbelief, and then he exclaimed in surprise: "Husband, I found the paper with the same ink as "Prairie Eagle"."

Su Wen raised a few pieces of waste paper in his hand.
