When Xiu Luoran heard that someone was coming, he knew that Zhuifeng Niang and the other two, as well as Tayun, must not be seen by anyone.

"Zhuifeng, take the baby back quickly. Don't let anyone see you. If you meet people next time, stay away from them."

If there is no baby, Zhuifeng can be said to be invincible and afraid of no one.

Zhuifeng disappeared quickly with the baby.

"Tayun, go down the mountain quietly from here, I will go down to find you later."

Tayun also left.

Xiu Luoran quietly approached the person who came to see if he could get any useful information.

There were not one person coming, but three.

"That damn Ke Yinzhong, he never told me where the things were until he died. No wonder the Second Prince was worried about him."

"He didn't even say anything when we beat him up like that. Do you think he didn't know?"

"possible."

"I think that's possible. What the three of us are doing, is it something that ordinary people can handle?

Now, I really admire Ke Yinzhong, he is a real man."

"Okay, stop admiring him. You should think about how to explain to the Second Prince when we return."

"If the things can't be found, the Second Prince must be in a bad mood. After we go back, it's better not to hang around in front of the Second Prince for no reason.

Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"I thought I could get some credit by making this trip, but I ended up with nothing."

"What do you think? Should we go back and check? What if Ke Yinzhong is not dead?"

"What's so good about this? Even if he's not dead yet, he'll be fed to wild animals in this deep mountain. I just heard a wolf howling."

“His legs are broken beyond repair, can he still crawl back?

Don't worry, he will die for sure."

Xiu Luoran followed them to the foot of the mountain, and the three of them rode towards the capital.

It turns out that they are the second prince's men.

Xiu Luoran immediately returned to the mountain and looked in the direction the three people came from. Sure enough, he found a man covered in blood.

Xiu Luoran felt the pulse and hurriedly took out a silver needle and inserted it.

The "blood man" slowly opened his eyes.

Xiu Luoran said softly: "You don't have much time. If you have anything to say, I might be able to help."

The "blood man" smiled with his mouth full of blood:

"God has a good heart, allowing me to meet someone before I close my eyes."

Ke Yinzhong looked at Xiu Luoran. This young man had clear eyes and a kind face. He should not be a bad person.

Even if this young master is a bad guy, he has no choice.

"Young Master, I have held on until now and refused to die, just hoping someone can help me pass on a message to my family."

Xiu Luoran nodded: "You go ahead."

Xiu Luoran was afraid that she had missed some important information, so she quickly turned around, took out her cell phone, and turned on the recording function.

"My name is Ke Yinzhong, and I am from Beijing. My home is in Huadong Prefecture, Ningyang Province in the south, and no one in Beijing knows where I live.

I work for my master in the capital. Sorry, I can't tell you who my master is, because I'm afraid it will be bad for you."

Xiu Luoran nodded: "Thank you."

"My dear, I have two favors to ask of you.

Please go to the Pilgrimage Street in the capital and find a man named Lin Qijing and tell him that my mission is not completed.

This journey from...Ping Cang to...Bai Tian, ​​it was all in vain."

Ke Yinzhong spoke rapidly, as if he would never be able to speak again in the next moment.

Xiu Luoran gave him a shot of cardiotonic, and Ke Yinzhong felt much better:

"Let Lin Qijing tell the master that I, Ke Yinzhong, am worthy of his trust in me. Even if I die, I will not be ashamed of the heaven and earth, and I will not be ashamed of him!"

Xiu Luoran listened quietly.

“The second thing is a bit more troublesome. Please go to my home in Huadong Prefecture, Ningyang Province, and tell my family about my situation.

Just tell them that I have died and served my master loyally, and let them live well.

I left them some money, and the place where I buried it is in the last line of my last letter to them."

Xiu Luoran nodded: "I'll remember that."

"Thank you, young master. I also thank God for being kind to me and not letting me die with regrets."

As Ke Yinzhong spoke, he reached into his crotch with difficulty, took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Xiu Luoran.

"Young Master, this little money is my reward to you. Fortunately, it is still there, otherwise I would be uneasy to trouble you to do things."

Xiu Luoran took the small cloth bag, and immediately a smell of blood mixed with urine hit his nose.

Xiu Luoran opened the small cloth bag calmly, and inside was a thick stack of silver bills. She roughly counted them and found that there were more than 70,000 taels.

"Thank you, senior. I'll take the money. Don't worry, I promise to do what I promised you."

"Thank you, young master. Please bury me right here. Tell my family to come back in a year or so and bring me home to bury me in the ancestral tomb."

"Okay, I remember."

Not long after, Ke Yinzhong died with a smile on his face.

Xiu Luoran put the banknotes into the small space.

The cloth wrapped around the banknotes was actually soft oilcloth, so the banknotes were not stained with blood, sweat or urine.

Xiu Luoran dug a hole and buried the soft oilcloth.

She looked around and found a place that was particularly easy to identify and find, and buried Ke Yinzhong under a big tree.

Anyway, he is going to be buried in the ancestral tomb, so there is no need to worry about feng shui now.

Xiu Luoran walked down the mountain and looked back deliberately. If he forgot how to get here, how would he explain to the Ke family?

After finding Tayun, Xiu Luoran rode on horseback and continued on his journey.

Eight days later, Xiu Luoran entered the territory of Ningyang Province.

In other words, Tayun runs very fast. If it were an ordinary horse, it would probably take twelve or thirteen days to get here.

In order to be loyal to the person who entrusted him with the task, Xiu Luoran decided to go to Huadong Mansion to deliver a letter to the Ke family.

Passing by Kangtai City, the capital of Ningyang Province, it was already late, so Xiu Luoran decided to stay here for one night before leaving.

He found a clean and elegant large inn to stay in. After having dinner, before it got completely dark, Xiu Luoran walked out of the inn and strolled around the street to take in the local customs and practices.

Kangtai City is very prosperous, and the main streets are bustling with people coming and going.

"I'm selling golden fragrant fruit. It's sweet and crispy, and it makes your mouth full of fragrance. It's getting dark, so I'm selling it at a low price."

Golden fragrant fruit?

Xiu Luoran thought about it and realized that he had never heard of this kind of fruit in the capital.

Is it a local specialty?

Since you are here, buy a few to try.

Xiu Luoran walked towards the fruit stall.

There was a lady standing in front of the fruit stall. When she heard that the fruits were being sold at a low price, she wanted to buy a few more and asked the stall owner to give her two more.

The stall owner was a little angry:

"Aunt Bai, every time you come here you ask me to give you a few. I am a small business, and I can't afford to be given so much."

Mrs. Bai shouted, "Didn't you say it was a good deal? Why are you not keeping your word again?"

The stall owner complained: "I have already given you a much lower price, I can't give you any more.

"Mother Li from the Mao family never bargains for fruit every time she comes to buy it, and sometimes she even gives me a few more coins."

Aunt Bai said "Pah":

"How can I compare with her? She is the wife of the governor and is very wealthy."

The stall owner nodded: "Governor Mao's family is kind, and I heard that their housekeeper is a kind man who loves to do good and give charity."

Mrs. White murmured quietly:

"Humph, kindness, what the hell! They just do it for show.

They are secretly cruel. Not to mention others, even their own daughter-in-law would be beaten and scolded at will.

She is a princess of the royal family, and God doesn't even open his eyes to do anything about it."

Although Aunt Bai's voice was soft, Xiu Luoran could hear it clearly.

Royal Princess?

Xiu Luoran thought about all the princesses in the capital, and the only one who married far away was probably his eldest sister-in-law's elder sister Yi Keting.

Could it be that Yi Keting was bullied at her husband’s house?

That shouldn't be the case. Prince An is very favored by the emperor in the capital. Who would dare to bully his daughter?

Xiu Luoran thought about it and decided that it would be better to find out. What if it was Yi Keting? He could help her.
