Chapter 105
Chapter 105
Let's say that Zhao Shen hurried all the way to the wine shop where Zhuang Zhuang was first taken captive, grabbed the shopkeeper and questioned everything, and asked several clues that the four followers did not ask.
The two followers who came with him were ashamed for a while.At that time, they were too anxious, they only roughly asked the direction where the young master was taken away, and then desperately chased after him. They never expected to be asked such a question by their own Zhengjun, but there seemed to be so many things that they ignored.
Thinking about it, since the shopkeeper saw that the strong man didn't make a good plan, he naturally had to pay more attention secretly, so as not to bring trouble to himself.They only asked about the direction of departure and the general appearance of the strong man, but unlike Zheng Jun, they asked about accent, clothes, shoes, and even asked whether there were calluses on his hands.
Out of the wine shop, Zhao Shen didn't lead them to chase along the road, but went around the wine shop, inquiring from house to house, and told the appearance of a strong man described by the shopkeeper, a surprising thing happened, and soon Some people pointed out that they had seen this person one after another, and others said that looking at the strong man, he didn't look like a merchant or an idler, but like a servant of a rich family.In the end, they found out from an old man that besides the strong man, there was another person!The old man said that the strong man was driving the scholar-like man in the car, and the master and servant even bought a bundle of soft ropes at his stall.
"The old man will help me to recall carefully, what is so special about the scholar?"
The old groceries seller frowned and twitched his beard, thought carefully about how to make a cup of tea, then shook his head and said, "I don't really pay much attention to it, but I think his accent is a bit different from the one here, it seems to have a little bit of Nanling's accent."
Zhao Shen was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Did the old man memorize it carefully? Is it really the accent from the Nanling?"
The old man looked at Zhao Shen, and said affirmatively: "Yes, my brother's sister's daughter is going to marry Nanling, and I have sent her to marry, so naturally I can't mistake her. Besides, this Nanling accent, son, don't you think so?" Is that right? After hearing all this, the little old man will definitely not remember it wrong."
After thanking the old man again and again, and leaving a dime as a thank you gift, Zhao Shen took his two relatives and rushed towards Hejian Mansion.
Nanling accent, Hejian Mansion and Jiangnan Mansion have Nanling accent, know Zhuang Zhuang, and have reason to abduct Zhuang Zhuang, there is no one else except Zhang Yan!
Zhang Yan!
Zhao Shen spat out these two words with deep hatred.
First, he intended to frame Congzi, but Lin Hong missed the provincial examination; secondly, he spread rumors unfavorable to Congzi in Hejian Mansion, and now he was so mad that he abducted Zhuangzhuang!Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, when Zhang Yan is found, he will definitely teach this guy a lesson he will never forget!
Zhang Yan is Gao Minxing's lackey who kidnapped Zhuang Zhuang. I don't know if he brought it up himself or Gao Minxing, but no matter who it is, he wants them to pay for it.
After confirming that the bandit was Zhang Yan, Zhao Shen knew the direction of Guanzhong and didn't need to investigate any more.Zhang Yan will definitely bring Zhuang Zhuang back to seek credit for Gao Minxing.It's just that now that Gao Minxing has been imprisoned, if Zhang Yan is told about the great changes in the Hejian Mansion, he might be panicked and do something unfavorable to Zhuang Zhuang.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shen got a few blisters in his mouth anxiously.
With two entourages, he searched along the direction that the other two entourages were looking for.In less than a day, the other two followers were not found, but Zhao Shen found Zhang Yan's body in a place overgrown with wormwood.
Zhang Yan died, his eyes were wide open, and he stared straight at the sky with strong unwillingness.
His throat was cut with a knife, and dark red blood flowed all over the floor.
Zhao Shen looked at it silently for a while, finally closed his eyes slightly, and ordered his followers to bury Zhang Yan hastily.
He didn't know who killed Zhang Yan, whether it was someone from Gao Minxing's group or King Qing's group, maybe he just met bandits and bandits and died.It's just that seeing such a person who was so hateful before, gnashing his teeth and wanting to eat him alive, died quietly in such a miserable way in the desolate wilderness, his mood is definitely not good.
A small soil bag is Zhang Yan's final destination.Zhao Shen glanced at it one last time, and led the people back on the road without looking back.
Zhao Shen felt that he could live up to his conscience if he could be buried instead of exposing his body to the wilderness.
Zhang Yan was killed, so what about the coachman?What about strong?Where are the two of them now?
Zhao Shen was so anxious that his tongue was sore, he was afraid that Zhuang Zhuang would be kidnapped by unknown people, or fall into the hands of King Qing, in that case, King Qing, who was already at the end of his life, really didn't know what he would do.
Xiang Yuan had a sullen face, and after hearing what Niu Er had said, he wanted to immediately get angry with his negligent entourage, but as soon as his eyes touched Xiang Zhuangzhuang who was eagerly looking at him, he had to suppress his anger for a while.
"Strong, follow"
I wanted to tell Zhuang Zhuang to meet the prince, but as soon as the words came to his lips, Xiang Yuan remembered that since he rescued the prince, he was quickly taken to the guard by Zhou Shichang and was closely guarded. Looking at the posture, it seemed that they were afraid that they would take the prince Gather here.Xiang Yuan was not very beautiful when he was hurt at the time, seeing Zhou Shichang's nervous appearance, he didn't even want to get angry, so he waved his hand and told them to take the prince and the mad Mo Shu away quickly.
Li Qiqian was a little bit wronged, but seeing that Xiang Yuan was trying to deal with Zhou Shichang with a pale face, he didn't dare to change his temper, so he had to follow Zhou Shichang to the guard first to settle down.
For Xiang Yuan and Shen Qiancheng, ten of them risked their lives to sneak into the island to save him. Seeing everyone splashing blood on the spot to protect him, wearing red and hanging colors, the sophomore Xiong Taizi felt deeply guilty for the first time.
Because of his willfulness and recklessness, these people almost left their lives on the island.Behind everyone, there are family members who are eagerly looking forward to their return. Maybe it is the gray-haired old mother, maybe the newlywed wife, or maybe the child who is waiting to be fed. For the first time, Prince Xiong Li Qiqian felt that he couldn't bear it.
Xiang Yuan didn't ask him why he had to go to the island, he was alone in danger, and he didn't think about the responsibilities he should bear as a prince.But it was this kind of silence that made Li Qiqian feel anxious. He found that he didn't seem to want to see disappointment on Xiang Yuan's face.Although he didn't really get along with Xiang Yuan for a long time, but in his heart, he really regarded Xiang Yuan as his teacher, and he was the first teacher who regarded him as an adult and talked to him on an equal footing.Li Qiqian didn't say anything, but he respected Xiang Yuan and had a little awe in his heart, so it was hard to see that Xiang Yuan was disappointed in him at all.
He secretly received the news that the pregnant concubine in the palace, who was in full bloom of grace, gave birth to a son a month ago. This is the second prince born safely after him, which is of great significance. One can imagine.
Even if he was outside the court, he could foresee the shock that the birth of this prince would have on the previous court and the harem.
So, he was upset.
At that time, it was as if he was on the edge of a dead end, and he only wanted to make a great contribution by himself, so that the sage and the adults in the court would all look at the power of this prince.However, he overestimated himself so much that he was trapped in a secret prison, and almost killed Xiang Yuan and ten others.
A feat that proved itself, in the end, only proved to be a foolish joke.
Li Qiqian's mood was also extremely unbeautiful.
Sending Xiang Anjue to accompany Mr. Qi who sent him back as his master, Xiang Yuan had time to ask Zhao Shen carefully about Zhao Shen's situation before and after he left.
Thinking that now the daughter-in-law doesn't know that Zhuang Zhuang is out of danger, people don't know how to be anxious outside, and why they run around restless at night, Xiang Yuan feels very distressed.He sent Niu Er to find his wife overnight, and told him to bring the news of Zhuang Zhuang's safety to Zhengjun as soon as possible, so that Xiang Yuan was able to think about other matters.
Zhou Shichang was outside with imperial envoys to fight against King Qing's forces. He heard that King Qing took the remnants of his troops out to sea, sent Wang Qing back to Hejian Mansion, and Feng Jue, who had been rushing back non-stop, followed Zhou Shichang's guard along with Shen Qiancheng. The garrison went out to sea together and chased after them.
Xiang Yuan thought about it for a while, and knew that this was about the time for Feng Jue to be killed.But at sea, there were too many variables, Xiang Yuan was faintly worried, fearing that Feng Jue might accidentally turn from a fake death to a real death, so he had to secretly tell Shen Qiancheng to take good care of Feng Jue.
Now the people in Jiangnan Mansion and Hejian Mansion are in a state of panic, the officials are scattered, the government orders are blocked, and it is a mess.There are also people who have been conscripted into labor in Jiangnan Mansion, blocking the gate of the yamen every day to ask for explanations.There is also a pair of armored and well-armed yamen soldiers who break into a certain household from time to time, and pull out the family involved in the conspiracy of King Qing, causing everyone to be in danger, every family is closed, and almost no door is opened in the city. Open shops, restaurants, etc.
Xiang Yuan thought that he was suspended from the post of governor of the three prefectures, and he was afraid that the sage would order him to take up the post soon.
When the injury was a little better, Xiang Yuan began to think about solutions to the situation of the two prefectures, and every time he thought of a feasible solution, he quickly took notes.Bai Cheng was also pulled over by Xiang Yuan, and he followed him to work overtime to make suggestions for the reorganization of the two prefectures.
Three days later, the sage's decree came from the capital, ordering Xiang Yuan to be the governor of the three prefectures immediately, to lead the government affairs of the three prefectures, and bring the Hejian and Jiangnan prefectures back to peace as soon as possible.
At the same time, news came from the sea that King Qing lost to Zhou Shichang and was captured without a fight.However, it is said that the imperial envoy Feng Jue fell into the water while saving Shen Qiancheng, and his whereabouts are still unknown.Shen Qiancheng asked himself to stay at sea to search for Feng Jue, and vowed not to give up until he found it.
Xiang Yuan frowned after reading it, and secretly hoped that Feng Jue was really okay.
From far to near outside the door, there was a rush of footsteps, as if feeling something in his heart, Xiang Yuan stood up abruptly and looked straight at the door.
The next moment, Zhao Shen's dusty face slammed into him.
"Daughter-in-law! You're back, give me a hug!"
