Comprehensive film and television: Youyou Biography

Shi Wuji and Shi Wuhen finally arrived at a quiet town after a long journey. They decided to stop here for a while, take a rest, and then continue on their journey.

In a small restaurant, the two ordered some food and were about to eat. However, while they were eating, the conversation of the people at the next table caught their attention.

"Have you heard? A while ago, a woman and her maid fell off a cliff!" one of them said in a low voice.

"Oh? Really? What happened next?" another person asked curiously.

"Later, many soldiers came! They seemed to have carried the young lady away, saying they were sending her to the capital."

When Shi Wuji heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground. Zhao Yang's figure immediately appeared in his mind. Could it be that...

He stood up suddenly, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed with a "swish". The tip of the sword was pointed at the throat of the person at the next table. He said sternly: "Is what you just said true? Who is that woman?"

The man whose throat was pressed by the sword turned pale with fear, trembling all over, and stammered, "I... I don't know..."

Shi Wuji became more anxious when he saw this. His hands trembled slightly and he pushed the tip of his sword forward again. "Tell me quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

The man was so scared that he almost cried. When the people at other tables saw this, they stood up in horror and fled the restaurant.

Shi Wuhen saw that the situation was not good, so he stood up quickly, took out a purse full of silver from his arms, and put it on the table next to him with a "pa" sound, and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as you tell the truth, this bag of silver will be yours. But if you lie, don't blame us for being rude."

"Let me tell you, let me tell you, this is what happened. A few days ago, a woman and her maid were driving a carriage. I don't know what happened, but suddenly they seemed to lose control and rushed straight towards the cliff, and then fell down with a bang! The scene was really horrible!" The man said, gesticulating as he spoke, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Then what?" Shi Wuhen asked.

"Then, those officers and soldiers quickly cordoned off the scene and didn't let anyone get close. I heard that it was because the woman's identity was not ordinary and she seemed to be being hunted by her enemies. We ordinary people don't know the specific situation." The man looked at Shi Wuhen with a flattering face, obviously wanting to get some benefits from him.

"Who among you knows the identity of that person?" Shi Wuhen continued to ask.

"I seem to remember that soldier said something like 'gong' or something like that. Anyway, he came from the capital and his status was very important. At that time, the county magistrate of our county also came, and many officials were there." Another person thought for a moment and interrupted.

"Brother, do you think it could be her?" Shi Wuhen suddenly turned to Shi Wuji and said.

"It shouldn't be..." Shi Wuji's face was a little solemn, and he was secretly guessing in his heart.

"No matter what, let's go to the county government office and take a look." Shi Wuji thought about it and decided to go to the county government office to inquire about the situation.

"Okay, big brother." Shi Wuhen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the county government office.

Arriving at the gate of the county government office, Shi Wuhen looked at the tightly closed door, turned to Shi Wuji beside him and said, "Brother, the door of the county government office is tightly closed, how can we get in?"

Shi Wuji raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile. He took out a jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant was crystal clear and had an exquisite "Zhao" character carved on it.

Shi Wuhen saw this and asked in surprise: "Brother, isn't this the princess's jade pendant? How did you get it?"

Shi Wuji replied calmly: "This was given to me by the princess."

Inside the county government office, the county magistrate was sitting in the hall handling official business. Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in, presented the jade pendant to him, and said, "Master, there are two people outside. They are holding this jade pendant and say they want to see you."

The county magistrate took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He saw the word "Zhao" engraved on it. He was shocked. This was a royal jade pendant that only Princess Zhaoyang had. He couldn't help but become curious about the identity of the visitor. Who could have the princess's jade pendant?

The county magistrate quickly asked his men to call the people outside in. After a while, Shi Wuji and Shi Wuhen walked into the lobby of the county government office.

The county magistrate looked the two men up and down and saw that Shi Wuji was tall and imposing, while Shi Wuhen looked younger, with a clever look between his brows.

The county magistrate asked, "Who are you? How come you have the royal jade pendant?"

Shi Wuji replied calmly, "The county lord doesn't need to know this. I just want to know who the woman who fell off the cliff a few days ago was."

Hearing this, the county magistrate became even more suspicious. He stared at Shi Wuji, as if trying to see through his true intentions, and said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Shi Wuhen interrupted and said, "County Master, what do you mean? Could that woman be Princess Zhaoyang?"

The county magistrate nodded slightly to show his agreement, and said slowly: "That's right. If the princess's body has been sent back to the capital, then you must be her close friends, otherwise how could you have this jade pendant? It's a pity that you are still a step late."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wuji was struck by lightning, his face full of shock, and his body involuntarily took a step back. If Shi Wuhen had not been quick to reach out and hold him up in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Shi Wuhen hurriedly bowed to the county magistrate and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, county magistrate, for telling me the truth. We will take our leave now." After saying that, he tightly grasped Shi Wuji's arm, turned around and left quickly.

After the two of them walked out of the government office, Shi Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Shi Wuji, and said softly: "Brother, I know you are extremely sad at the moment, but things have come to this point, the princess has indeed passed away."

However, Shi Wuji seemed to have not heard anything. He stared straight ahead, muttering to himself, "I don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe it! Let's rush back to the capital immediately. I must see the princess's body with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."

Shi Wuhen saw that he was so persistent, and although he felt reluctant, he also knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, so he could only respond: "Okay, big brother, I will accompany you back to Beijing."

After they finished speaking, the two men mounted their horses, whipped their horses, and galloped towards the capital.
