Chapter 668: inquire about
When Qi Haoran went to see Ah Yin again, he brought the news of her in-laws. He only said that the people who entered the mountain did not see anyone after they found the place. He only ordered the two to stay there, and if they encountered them, they would arrest them. rescued.
Ah Yin cried and fell on the bed, saying, "A Dad and A Ma must have been caught by them, or else they would have fled to a deeper forest. What can I do? I promised Jirou to protect A Dad and A Mom. of."
Qi Haoran lowered his eyes and asked, "Jirouco said how he wanted you to protect your in-laws?"
A Yin shook his head, "The situation was so urgent at the time, Jirou didn't have time to say more, he only had time to push us out to distract the pursuers."
"As soon as Jirou came home, those people chased after him?" Qi Haoran asked suspiciously.
Ah Yin shook his head, "No, those people were only found in the middle of the night. It was only when Jirou came back that it was dark. He was a little uneasy. He told me at night that he had heard something incredible. The second prince found, who knew that we slept until midnight when he heard the noise..."
"Then did he talk about the incredible thing in detail? Did he just talk about the relationship between the second prince and Dali?" Seeing Ah Yin's hesitation, Qi Haoran said, "You have to tell me the truth, so that I can go to Miao Village to save him. Jirou, according to what you said, Jirou has been taken away for a while, and if he doesn't save people, I'm afraid he won't be able to save them again."
Ah Yin was taken aback. She had only been to Ji'an Miao Village the furthest in her life. She had never even been to Juzhou City, and she had not seen more than 100 people. How could she know if what Qi Haoran said was true or not? There is only her husband Jirou, and it is not known whether her in-laws are dead or alive. If her husband dies again, she will really have no relatives.
Ah Yin knelt down in front of Qi Haoran in a panic, and said to Qi Haoran like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "Ji Lu said that the second prince was very dissatisfied with Chief Ji'an and felt that he was flattering the court, so he pointed fingers at our stockade. The Miao people of this village only obey the orders of the chiefs of the tribe, and the chiefs should be responsible for the exchange of goods for food, but Chief Ji'an bypassed them and gave us the things directly, and the second prince was very dissatisfied."
Hearing the translation, Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes, "Just like this?"
A Yin hesitated for a while and then said: "Jill said that the second prince doesn't like the prince very much, I don't know how much."
"What about Dali?"
Ah Yin shook his head blankly.
Qi Haoran was thoughtful, it seemed that Jirou didn't hear too much, but he didn't hear the most important thing. The one who was caught was wronged.
A Yin looked at him expectantly when he saw him thinking, and asked, "My lord, can you save Jirou? We are all honest, not bad people."
Qi Haoran sighed, the second prince would not let Jirou let him go because he was not a bad guy, but Qi Haoran nodded and said, "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee it."
Ah Yin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the prince agreed to help.
Qi Haoran asked Liu Dahei to call and specifically asked him to take his wife Jinhua with him. Although he had already inquired about the relationship between the Miao villages, only the Miao people knew about some things, and the Han people could not inquire about them. .
Therefore, Mu Yangling had to come forward on Jinhua's side.
Jinhua said: "In the eighteen villages in Jiugou, the Bisha Miao villages are mixed, and there are various surnames, but the chief is Sanglin. He is very good at giving birth to sons. I heard from my father that he gave birth to eleven son, and lived seven."
Jinhua completely took these as gossip, and did not know that her father forbade her to say these to the Han people. These words were gossip among the Miao people, but it was different for the Han people.
Mu Yangling asked with interest, "Are all his sons from the same mother?"
Golden Flower nodded, "We Miao people are not like your Han people, who take concubines in fashion. Unless the mother-in-law or the man dies, the two will always live together. The mother-in-law of Chief Sanglin is alive and well, naturally it is the same mother."
"With so many children, it's really possible to give birth," Mu Yang sighed in inspiration and asked, "Then how did his four sons die?"
"One died of illness, one was bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains, and two died fighting with your Han soldiers."
"Head Sanglin must not like us Han people very much."
Jinhua pouted and said, "Many Miao people don't like you Han people."
Mu Yangling smiled, and Jinhua dared to say such a straight word, "He has so many sons, who will be the chief after he dies?"
Jinhua tilted her head and said, "Let's see who is better."
"I thought it was the eldest son who inherited the position of chief."
Jin Hua smiled and said, "That is the inheritance law of your Han people. We Miao people believe that whoever has the ability will be the chief." Jin Hua sighed rarely: "My father said that our Miao people's life is too hard, if we become chiefs If you don’t have any ability, the life of the Miao people will only be more difficult, so there is no choice for the chief, the elders will choose the able and good character, so as to lead the Miao people to live a good life.”
Mu Yangling squinted slightly, "So the chief is not appointed by the old chief, but chosen by the elders?"
This is somewhat different from the information they collected. Mu Yangling carefully asked about the succession procedure of the chieftain, and then asked several sons of Sanglin, "Have you seen the sons of the chief Sanglin? Who do you think is the most powerful? ?"
"I've seen it," Jin Hua was not very emotional, and curled her lips: "I don't think any of them are as good as my elder brother. To be honest, it is estimated that Lao Liu is better. He has good kung fu, but my father and I My brother-in-law said that in the future, Bisha Miao Village will only be the second prince who will be the master of the house. I really don’t see how powerful the second prince is. In terms of fighting, he will definitely not be able to beat his sixth brother.”
"What about the big prince?"
"He died, he died fighting with you."
"Besides the second prince, who else can do something?"
Jinhua thought for a while, then hesitated: "Third prince? I heard my brother-in-law talk about him, saying that he is good at business, so he should be able to do it."
"Of course it's capable." Mu Yangling got a general understanding of the seven remaining sons of Chief Sanglin from Jinhua, and learned a lot of news that only circulated among the Miao people. He also inquired about other Miao villages and villagers. The relationship between Sha Miao Village.
The more he listened, the more Mu Yangling decided that he had to tell Qi Haoran when he turned around. In any case, Liu Dahei should not disclose secrets to Jinhua easily. She was too gossipy, her mouth was too open, and her mentality was unprepared. Although they are a good thing, if the objects are exchanged, it is not a good thing.
Fan Zijin knocked on the table and asked, "That means Chief Sanglin might be hostile to us?"
"Not necessarily," Qi Haoran said with a frown, "I remember that when he led the crowd to surrender, Chief Sanglin followed Chief Ji'an and was the second one to surrender, and we have been here for more than half a year and haven't seen him. It has caused us trouble. In contrast, several other Miao villages are always in trouble.”
