Bright Spring

The two of them started to work silently and dug for a long time without calling Zheng He to change it.They are all strong generals, digging a pit is not a problem.

After a long time, Wei Da said, "It's almost there! The golden well is only this deep."

So they walked back, greeted Zheng He, and carried them to the edge of the pit together with the box.The shopkeeper who was bound by five flowers turned his head desperately, looked at Jinjing next to him, struggled harder, but never said a word... Wei Da and others didn't want to hear what he said.

"Shua!" Wei Da pulled out a dagger.The shopkeeper widened his eyes, then closed them again, his body trembling.

However, Wei Da didn't want to kill him, but cut off his clothes, called Wang Bin and others to come up and pick them up, stripped the shopkeeper, and threw all the clothes into Jinjing.Then he took out a can of oil from the box and poured some on his clothes.Wei Da picked up the fire folder again and pulled it out, blew a few times with "huhu", and set the clothes in Jinjing on fire.

"Destroy the things on his body. If the government finds the body, it will be even more difficult to find out the identity. Even if the government slowly finds out the truth, we will have finished our errands and returned to Peiping long ago. Tell them to come to the Prince's Palace in Peking to arrest the old men!" Veda Road.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wang Bin went up and pulled out the big gold ring from the shopkeeper's hand.The three of them then carried the naked shopkeeper into the golden well, and Wei Da lifted the pot and poured the remaining oil on the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper's eyes were red and full of fear, but he couldn't say a word.

……

In the black boat on the river bank, Zhu Gaoxu opened the straw curtain to look outside, then turned his head and asked, "Why did Ms. Du leave in such a hurry when I was in Beiping?"

Du Qianrui sighed, bowed his head and said, "Someone found out about my background and lied to the prince...Actually, my family was not bullied by Ambassador Xu. Those things were told to me by others, and they were other people's business."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and did not interrupt her.He was very calm, he knew about this a long time ago, when Hou Hai came back from the trip to the capital, he had already made a thorough investigation.

Du Qianrui continued: "The man threatened me with this, asking me to tell what the prince did in the capital and on the road, and he also mentioned Junyingcao."

"You must not have said." Zhu Gaoxu interjected.The matter of Jun Yingcao was known, mainly because it "coincidentally" someone in Yan Wang's mansion was poisoned by mistake, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the crown prince's!

The inside story, why someone accidentally ate it during that time, Zhu Gaoxu has not figured it out yet.

But he figured out that the Jun Yingcao incident had nothing to do with Du Qianrui, because no one knew the few details Du Qianrui saw.

Du Qianrui shook his head and said: "Of course not. I have deceived the prince with my life experience and caused a great disaster. I am already in a state of anxiety all day long. How can I still be willing to betray the prince? I am also thinking, if I betray the prince once, I will definitely be blackmailed by those people in the future Control it and become their chess piece against the prince!"

"Miss Du is smart." Zhu Gaoxu nodded in praise, "This is a game, as long as you take a step, you will be restrained every step of the way!"

Du Qianrui said: "Because that person asked me to tell him everything about the lord in the future... I naturally didn't agree, and flatly refused. Later, the lord said 'the heart is still scheming', and he ignored me. I thought that person had already told the prince about my life experience."

She said in a trembling voice: "The man threatened|threatened me to tell the prince my life experience first, and then tie me to the government when the prince doesn't care about me! The matter of Ambassador Xu in the capital is inseparable from the prince and I. , was being arrested on the list, as long as I go to the government, will I have a good end? At that time, I was terrified, and after thinking about it, I had to escape from Beiping first. I didn’t dare to go back to the Jingshi Jiaofang Division, so I had to go home.”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked: "Do you remember what the man who threatened Miss Du looked like?"

Du Qianrui nodded, said that he had a very round face, and described the alchemist's temperament, appearance, figure and so on.

"Yuan Gong?!" After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said a name directly.It is also very simple to determine whether it is Yuan Gong. After returning to Beiping, just look for an opportunity for Du Qianrui to take a look!

That Yuan Gong was originally just a fortune teller who ran around the rivers and lakes, but because of Yao Guangxiao's recommendation, he went to Yan Wang's mansion and became a confidant counselor. He ran to Shizi's mansion all day long.

Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his anger, and then looked cold again.

Yao Guangxiao and the eldest son were also ruthless. At that time, King Yan was preparing to raise troops and faced the danger of being suppressed by the court at any time. They had long wanted to plant spies by Zhu Gaoxu's side!

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Du Qianrui who was full of fear, the coldness on his face gradually warmed up, and he said kindly: "In order to protect me, Miss Du would rather run away than betray me; I was jealous of you and wronged you... I will remember this affection."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The black-covered boat docked quietly by the river, and the cool river water hit the side of the boat from time to time, making a "ding-dong" sound, and occasionally there were a few birds chirping around.

"Hey!" Wang Bin yelled on the deck, and when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look, he saw a crucian carp hanging from a fishing rod being lifted out of the water.

The firewood in the mud stove on the boat was burning vigorously, and white steam was rising from the pot.Wang Bin grabbed the crucian carp, knocked it twice on the side of the boat, then took out a knife and began to cut the belly of the fish.

Du Qianrui, who was wearing an old dress and carrying a bamboo basket, also came to the side of the boat. Zhu Gaoxu held out his palm to her. Du Qianrui's eyes wandered, and he still put his little hand in Zhu Gaoxu's palm.Zhu Gaoxu dragged her up.

"What kind of leaves, isn't it poisonous?" Wang Bin turned his head and glanced at the bamboo basket.

Du Qianrui said in a crisp voice, "This young leaf is called spring, and it can be eaten. Don't worry, Brother Wang."

She seemed to be in good spirits, quick to do things, and her movements were brisk and lively.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I know it can be used to fry eggs, but I have never eaten it when it is boiled in fish soup."

"Young master is very knowledgeable. The young leaves in spring are fried eggs, and they smell great. Cooking pays attention to one thing with one thing, but the things on the boat are not neat! The river fish is not as strong as the seasoning. It may be useful to put some spring." Du Qianruirou soundtrack.

After she finished speaking, she was busy making fish soup.

Looking back to the left and right, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Going north along the Xin River, you can reach the capital city of Raozhou. When we meet the town, we have to try to buy a horse or a carriage, and take the post road by land. Boating is too slow."

Both Zheng He and Wei Da nodded in agreement.In the past two days, Zheng He seemed to have something to say, and he hesitated many times. At this moment, he finally asked, "Mr. Zhong, is Miss Du reliable?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded immediately.All the people on the boat stopped talking, and no one said anything.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Du Qianrui again, "Ms. Du knows that Yan Wangfu and the imperial court are at war. We are very dangerous in the south of the Yangtze River. I will leave you a sum of money and arrange a place for you to stay for a while. When we come back, we will go Pick up Miss Du; if she doesn't come back, Miss Du has to find another way out."

Unexpectedly, Du Qianrui immediately shook his head vigorously and said, "If there is no king... Mr. Zhong, all I have left is a lifeless and miserable life. What's the point of living in this world? Since Mr. Zhong is indifferent to danger, I can't help you. All I can do is live and die with the young master."

She spoke calmly, but there was only determination in her big beautiful eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu usually doesn't believe that other people will die or live at any time, but for some reason, when he heard Du Qianrui's words at this time, he didn't doubt it.Maybe she was just stating a fact.

"Alright." Zhu Gaoxu didn't say those useless words, nodded immediately, "Miss Du followed us, and we just pretended to be a couple. My surname is Zhong, from Ying Tianfu; Miss Du's name is Du Shi, from Jiangxi Province People from Raozhou Prefecture."

He turned his head to look at Zheng He and the others, "You are all servants and long-term workers of the Zhong family. Wang Bin's name is Wang Youcai, Zheng Gonggong's name is Zheng Zhong, and Wei Da's name is Wade. Do you remember?"

Several people nodded in response.

After a while, when the fish soup was ready, Wang Bin took out the dry food buns from his bag, and everyone had lunch with the fish soup.

... A group of people arrived in Raozhou by water.Fucheng is more prosperous than Yugan County, and there are still many people living outside the city, with streets and markets.Unavoidably, they didn't enter the city gate, and they couldn't find a horse that could be used as a mount outside the city, so they bought two carriages, clothes, dry food and other things.

Right now, the south of Dajiang is relatively peaceful, and the group of people did not encounter interrogation in Raozhou Mansion, and they drove the carriage to the post road very smoothly.

But the next day at the border of the state capital, he was stopped by a group of people.Zhu Gaoxu opened the straw curtain and saw the riders wearing green robes with a group of armored soldiers behind him, he immediately judged that these people were inspectors.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it, and immediately calmed down.Because this kind of local inspection is mainly to check for illegal salt.

"What are you doing?" the green-robed official asked.

Zhu Gaoxu got down from the carriage first, clasped his fists and said: "Returning to my lord, Caomin is a member of Tianfu, who went to Jiangxi to visit relatives and see his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu calling him a lord, the petty official looked very useful, and looked Zhu Gaoxu up and down.Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a high-quality cotton green robe with a jade pendant around his waist. He was dressed like a man from a wealthy family... Small officials generally don't guard against rich people. In their eyes, criminals who commit crimes are desperate refugees.

"Is there a guide?" the inspector asked.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out a fake Yingtian Mansion official road guide, and handed it over with both hands.The patrol inspector took it out of the envelope and looked at it, then handed it back.

Although this Yingtianfu guide is a forgery, it can be completely confused with the real one, so it is impossible to distinguish... The only way to find out the forgery is to go to the Yingtianfu government to check it.

Zhu Gaoxu was confident, and immediately asked again: "The bitch is in the carriage, do you want the grassroots to call her down so that the military men can check the carriage?"
