Dana Cui was not polite and took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is a private letter written by Master Cao of the state capital. Please ask Mr. Mao to read it."
Mao You immediately stood up respectfully, took it with both hands, and carefully opened it.
After reading it, Mao You's expression became dumbfounded, "When did Chen Xiaobei get this deed? I, I really don't know anything about it."
Cui Dana looked at him coldly, "Yes, Chen Xiaobei, a small country official, dares to do such a big thing without telling you. Master Mao, why do you think this is?"
Mao was offended by this, and his expression became much more serious, "I will help you investigate this matter."
"But Mr. Cui, I have something to say. I want to advise you that you don't have a land title in Qingniu Mountain. Maybe it's a good thing and you can avoid disaster."
Dana Cui looked at him with confusion, "Master Mao, what do you mean by this?"
"Haven't you heard about what happened in Qingniu Mountain these past two days?"
Dana Cui shook his head, "I went to the state capital for business these two days and was not in the village."
Mao slapped his forehead. That's right. If you don't go to the state, how can you get this letter back to me?
"Alas, Liu Yuanwu, the second son of Lord Protector Liu Xiangnan and Marquis Liu, was shot dead on Qingniu Mountain two days ago."
"In order to catch the murderer, our magistrate Hu led a patrol camp. It was a lot of work."
"Well, you said that Chen Xiaobei has the land deed. If the superiors really track it down, they will inevitably face a lawsuit. After all, it is on his territory."
Upon hearing this, Cui Dana was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cui San with doubtful eyes.
Cui San shook his head, which means I don’t know anything about this either.
Dana Cui stood up and hugged Mao with a fist, "Thank you, Master Mao, for reminding me. Please help me think about this matter again."
After saying that, he clasped his fists and left. Seeing Cui Da take it away, a sneer appeared on Mao You's lips, "How dare you come and rob Qingniu Mountain with this little courage, huh."
After leaving Mao You's home, Cui San took a few steps to catch up with Cui Dana.
"Master, what should we do? Are we going to let Qingniu Mountain go like this?"
Cui Dana sneered, "Forget it, how could you let Chen Xiaobei go so easily?"
"Didn't you hear what Mao said? Liu Xiangnan's second son was killed in Qingniu Mountain."
"But sir, we are thousands of miles away from the capital. Besides, we can't see the Lord Protector."
Cui Dana put his hands behind his back and took two steps forward, "There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we go to the capital to spread the news, can the Lord Protector remain indifferent? He must not send people to take Chen Xiaobei from the beginning to the end."
Check everything?"
"By the way, later you go to Hetou Village to find some witnesses. You understand what I mean."
"Understand, understand. When the time comes to investigate, we will ask them to go to the county government to file a complaint. It will all be a black case against Chen Xiaobei. Let's see how he ends up."
Dana Cui sneered twice and nodded, "Well, one person can't make it, two people can't make it. Everyone comes to complain. Let me see if Hu Fan dares to protect him."
Cui San immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but raise his hands and said, "Master, you are right. As long as we let the news out, Hu Fan will not dare to cover it up."
The master and servant left Qingniu County in anger.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei led everyone forward with heavy loads, carrying wooden boards and trudging all the way, and finally arrived at the iron cable bridge.
This was the first time Chen Xiaobei came here after the cable bridge was built, and he still seemed a little curious about everything.
Standing on the edge of the iron cable bridge, Chen Xiaobei looked at the other side, which was more than ten feet away, and saw that the seven iron cables were pulling better than he expected.
Chen Xiaobei was observing the chain bridge, while Ma Xiaoyi and his companions carefully inspected the situation at the head of the bridge. There was no obstruction within thirty or forty feet.
There are only a few rocks that can hide, and at most a few people can be hidden behind the rocks, and the distance is thirty feet away, unless you have Li Tong's arm strength.
After observing everything and making sure that there was nothing unusual, Ma Xiaoyi came to Chen Xiaobei and whispered, "Let's go over and take a look."
Chen Xiaobei nodded. He nodded three times at random to everyone present, "Follow me to the other side with a few planks of wood on your back. We'll lay them from that end to this side."
In fact, this is completely a reason, but this reason sounds very reasonable. After all, it is faster to lay from both ends to the middle.
Chen Xiaobei came to the bridge. The iron ring on the safety rope he set up for the first time was still there. He found a piece of rope and tied it around his waist, and tied the other end to the iron ring. It felt familiar.
Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Xiaobei, you are too cautious. There must be no problem with so many ropes."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yi, there is a saying that says, be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship, so you'd better tie the rope."
After listening to his words, Ma Xiaoyi nodded, "Okay, then as you said, we will all tie the rope."
Chen Xiaobei tied the rope, stepped on the iron chain, grabbed an iron chain with one hand, and walked slowly to the opposite side.
I have to say that the iron cable bridge made of seven iron chains is really cool. It is firm under your feet and once you grab it with both hands, it is actually very stable. As Ma Xiaoyi said, you can actually walk across it without a rope, but if you are tied,
The most important thing about rope is its psychological effect.
With multiple protections, Chen Xiaobei walked very fast and quickly crossed the chain bridge to the opposite side.
After taking off the rope around his waist, Chen Xiaobei also discovered a problem.
That is, if there are enough people and all the hoops are concentrated on one side, what will happen if there are no hoops for the people behind?
So if the planks are laid.
Then this safety rope can be improved and directly attached to the handrail of the cable bridge.
Just tie the rope directly to the cable bridge and pull it forward without the need for iron rings.
This can solve the problem of large groups of people entering the mountain, or it can be done without the need for safety ropes if there are bold people on both sides holding the iron chains.
Standing at this end, Ma Xiaoyi's eyes swept across the whole place, and finally whispered to Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, look to your left, there is a bush behind you, find an excuse to go over there and take a look.
.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded, and when everyone came over, he pointed to the distance and shouted, "Let's go, let's have a rest there, and we'll almost have to go back."
Everyone was talking, laughing, and walking towards the bush, while Ma Xiaoyi was mixed in the crowd and looking around carefully.
In the bushes at this time, Sun Jian was taking Shi Yanggang and others, watching the movements of this group of people closely. Seeing that they were coming this way, Sun Jian hurriedly called on everyone to retreat quickly.
Fortunately, they acted quickly and covertly, and their retreat did not attract the attention of Chen Xiaobei and others.
Entering the bushes, Chen Xiaobei and others scattered around without any purpose. Some leaned against the tree trunks, and some simply found a shade to lie down.
