Chapter 363 He took the knife that could stab the prince
Unlike Meng Pei's rough appearance, Chen Anzhu has an extremely delicate appearance. Even when he wears a long gown that has been specially reduced in size, it still has a loose part and makes him look exceptionally thin.
Chen Anzhu was so annoyed that he could not bear to watch any longer. He turned his back to Meng Pei and said, "The remaining food in the mountains will not last for a few days. I want to go down the mountain tomorrow."
Meng Pei was originally dazed, but upon hearing this, he shuddered and said without thinking, "No way!"
"Give me the title deed and I'll take it..."
"Are you really stupid?"
Chen Anzhu glared at Meng Pei unhappily and gritted his teeth, "It can't be true if it's fake. Do you really think the people who buy the land are stupid?"
The scam of forging title deeds is not sophisticated.
As long as you spend a little more time in private, you can easily find out the events of more than ten years ago and know the existence of the Sun family.
At this point, even if you haven't figured out whether the deed is real or fake, you can easily guess the outline of the matter based on the location of the deed.
It would be inappropriate to repeat the same old trick.
Meng Pei didn't quite understand Shen Anzhu's concerns, and paused: "I think you're overthinking it."
"Your forgery skills are so good that no one can even notice the problem at a pawnshop. What's wrong with that?"
Shen Anzhu was too tired to talk.
Meng Pei said to himself, "When Aunt Wang came back before, you said I couldn't go there anymore, but didn't Aunt Wang herself say it was okay?"
"Auntie Wang also said that the owner of the land was very easy to talk to and very kind to others. How could he have been discovered?"
Chen Anzhu was unable to explain to him the profound meaning of someone pouring a cup of tea on the ground. He pressed his brow with a headache and said, "Are you going to listen to me or not?"
Meng Pei blinked hesitantly, his voice lacking confidence: "Listen."
"Miss, I..."
"How many times have I told you? Don't call me that!"
Chen Anzhu, dressed as a man, glared at Meng Pei fiercely and emphasized in a low voice, "If you cause trouble by not being able to control your mouth, I will pluck out your disobedient tongue sooner or later!"
Meng Pei hung his head guiltily and dared not say a word.
Chen Anzhu's head grew bigger when he saw this, and he said patiently, "We can't use the forged deeds anymore, otherwise we'll run into other troubles before the authorities even come knocking on our door."
The people who bought a large number of farmlands in Ancheng seemed to be outsiders, and there was no way to know their background.
But Shen Anzhu's intuition, which had been based on years of living in crisis, told him that those seemingly unremarkable outsiders were not necessarily easier to deal with than the corrupt officials who were encroaching on the Shu land.
Avoid those you can't afford to offend.
Otherwise there is only one way out: death.
Meng Pei didn't dare disobey Shen Anzhu's words. He struggled for a moment and muttered softly, "They say the land deed is no longer valid, so what are you going to do down the mountain?"
"The fake one is useless, but I still have the real one, right?"
The Sun family was wiped out many years ago and has long disappeared from people's memory.
But the Sun family’s huge fortune is still there.
It’s not that Chen Anzhu doesn’t have real land deeds, but any one of those deeds would cover a very large area, and once it was taken out, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he had to forge them.
But using a fake one doesn't mean she doesn't have the real one.
At this point, there is no time to worry about anything else.
Shen Anzhu suppressed his fatigue and closed his eyes, muttering, "Just hold on for a while longer..."
The chaos in Shu had already spread to the capital, and the imperial envoy had also arrived.
As long as we wait until the imperial envoy finds out the whole story of the illegal salt case in Shu, then we can...
"What if the imperial envoy isn't here to do any human work?"
Meng Pei was a straightforward person. He immediately said, "We've seen more corrupt officials over the years than dung beetles on the street. These bastards protect each other and cover up for each other. Not a single one of them is a good person!"
"You've finally found the right moment and incited the salt workers to riot, but if the imperial envoy who comes is also of the same kind, then all your efforts will be in vain, won't they?"
No one understands the ups and downs and hardships that Shen Anzhu has gone through over the years better than Meng Pei.
But now, relying solely on past hard work is not enough to turn the tide.
They have seen too much helplessness over the years.
Shen Anzhu laughed at himself: "Do you think I don't know?"
"But what else can I do now except wait?"
Meng Pei wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Anzhu waving his hand: "It's settled."
"I'll go down the mountain tomorrow with the real deed. You stay in the mountain and keep an eye on the people there to make sure they don't cause any trouble."
"I……"
"Meng Pei."
Chen Anzhu interrupted what Meng Pei was about to say and said in a trance-like voice, "I'm already very tired. Can you please be obedient?"
"If you don't listen, I don't know who else I can talk to."
All the words on Meng Pei's lips turned into silence. After struggling for a while, he finally stuffed a handful of peanuts hidden in his pocket to Shen Anzhu: "Eat it to fill your stomach. Don't starve yourself."
"If you're starving, I don't know what to do."
Chen Anzhu looked at the peanuts in his hand with a mixture of laughter and tears, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and said, "I'll bring you some buns when I come back from the city."
Meng Pei squatted beside Shen Anzhu like a bear, and after a long pause he said, "Eight."
"I'll eat eight at a time."
Shen Anzhu curled his lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll bring you eighteen big meat buns."
The next day, at daybreak, Chen Anzhu carried the people from Qingcheng Mountain on his back and went down the mountain quietly.
In the inn, Xu Yu placed the note in his hand on the candle and lit it. The noise when he returned to the bed woke up Sang Zhixia who was sleeping.
Sang Zhixia rubbed her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yu lay down on his side and held Sang Zhixia in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "Nothing. It's just that we might have an important guest today."
"uh-huh?"
Sang Zhixia opened her eyes dazedly: "What important guest?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
Xu Yu lowered the bed curtains and placed his hands in front of Sang Zhixia's eyes, saying softly and coaxingly, "It's still early. I'll stay with you and sleep a little longer."
"You'll know everything when you wake up."
Sang Zhixia rolled over in Xu Yu's arms and fell asleep. Xu Yu's fingertips were twirling around the ends of Sang Zhixia's hair, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.
People from Qingcheng Mountain came out.
only……
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Why is it a woman who came down the mountain?"
As he expected, the bandit leader on Qingcheng Mountain had already fallen into crisis both inside and outside, but he could not guess the reason for this man's forbearance.
Combined with the signals he released before, the person coming down the mountain this time should be one of the bandit leaders.
Could it be that one of the bandit leaders in Qingcheng Mountain is a woman?
If this is true, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is far away in Kyoto, have been tripped up by a woman?
Xu Yu's eyes were filled with mockery. He lowered his head and kissed Sang Zhixia's earlobe. After slapping her shoulder, he muttered contentedly, "Zhizhi is right. When a woman starts fighting, she can be much more ruthless than a useless man like Bai Chengren."
"Women should be self-reliant..."
He took the knife that could stab the prince.
