Bright Spring

Zhao Ping was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it...but the meaning of pure heart and asceticism doesn't just mean female sex?"

Wang Gui stared at Zhao Ping, and said in a deep voice, "Our family wants everything you want! Gold and silver, treasures, fertile land, status, and beauties! Even if our family doesn't have birds, we still want them!"

Zhao Ping couldn't answer the conversation for a while, and stood there dumbfounded.

Wang Guidao: "The prince can give our family these things, and our family can only be loyal to the prince. You, Zhao Ping, are not eunuchs, but if you get on this boat, you will not be able to get off, or you will die immediately!"

After Wang Gui finished speaking, there was a faint red light in his eyes.

Zhao Ping said in a deep voice: "The last general never thought of being unfaithful to the prince."

"That's good. If you are afraid of death, do what you want to do first, like our family." Wang Gui said again.

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and he didn't know why he said something irrelevant.

Perhaps, because he felt fear.Death is not the most feared thing, and life is worse than death...

Wang Gui didn't want to pay attention to the matter of Ping'an. Anyway, he was in Beijing on this trip and was not responsible for it.But Pingan said that when he was the commander of the capital in Beiping, he found out from the officials in Beiping that Qu Neng and his son might not have died, but were rescued.Pingan asked Wang Gui quietly again: Was it rescued by the King of Han?

Ping An could think of something that no one had ever doubted before!So Wang Gui didn't dare to ignore Ping An anymore, for fear that things would become more troublesome.

Because this matter is the Holy Majesty's rebellion!In addition, no one dared to touch Han Wang, nor did anyone dare to touch him Wang Gui.

Wang Gui and Zhao Ping were silent for a long time, Wang Gui finally spoke, and said calmly: "Once Chen Dachui leaves Beijing, tell our family right away, and we have to leave as soon as possible!"

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "The final general obeys orders."

……

The population of Yunnan Fucheng is quite large, but as soon as you leave the city gate, you will be able to see stretches of crop fields as soon as you pass by the low houses attached to the city.

After a carriage left the city, it slowly walked onto the road in the field.Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin were wearing common clothes and sitting in a carriage; the driver was Wang Yu from a hundred households.

At this time, Wang Yu said from the front: "Young master, the front is the Geng family farmland."

"Stop the car, don't go forward." Zhu Gaoxu said.

When the carriage stopped, Zhu Gaoxu walked down.He slightly covered the glare of the sun with the palm of his hand, looking ahead.Among the large undulating rice fields, there are some scattered houses here and there, among which is the largest manor house, which should be the place where Geng's family lives.

There are a few farmers around in the rice field. They are wearing straw hats and bending over, as if they are pulling something out of the rice field.

"It would be great if we could plant a spy in Gengjiazhuang." Zhu Gaoxu mused.

Wang Yu sat in the driver's seat and said nothing, he must have been unable to think of a solution for a while.Zhu Gaoxu saw it in his eyes and knew in his heart that it was most difficult to let people in this kind of village.Unlike the densely populated city where fish and dragons are mixed together, people in the village generally know each other.

At this moment, a man in short coat and leading a cow came to the main road. The man had dark skin, a straw hat, and bare mud legs. While driving the cow, he looked curiously at the carriage on the main road.

The man in the short coat didn't make a sound, and crossed the road to go to the other side.Zhu Gaoxu spoke first: "Brother, are the people in the field pulling weeds?"

The man was obviously a Han Chinese, and he could understand Zhu Gaoxu's words, so he stopped and said, "All weeds are pulled out, there are weeds, and those things need to be plucked for fat. Are you coming from Fucheng?"

Most of the Han people in Yunnan are migrants, and they have all kinds of accents. However, the largest population comes from neighboring provinces, and their accent is somewhat similar to Sichuan dialect.Zhu Gaoxu happened to understand Sichuan dialect.

"Yes." Zhu Gaoxu replied with a smile, "How much can your family harvest in a year?"

"The young master asked us where is this place? These places are close to the city, and almost all of them belong to dignitaries. After we pay the rent, we only have enough to make ends meet. Fortunately, it is not far from Fucheng. A few coins left." The short-clothed man spoke clearly.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "No one is selling the land?"

The short-clothed man looked stunned at this moment, and said: "My lord, I can only go to other places to ask. The surrounding area is the land of the Marquis of Mu's family for several miles. I'm afraid I can't buy it."

"Thank you very much." Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists together.

He returned to the carriage and told Wang Yu to turn around.After a while, he said to the commander Wang Bin: "It's too conspicuous to install our spies, but we can buy the local tenants. Farmers only have a few coins left after a year of hard work. With our easy business, Someone should be willing to do it."

Wang Bin said: "The final general is worried that the tenants will not be reliable."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The person sent to contact, let alone someone from the Han Palace, don't worry about it."

Wang Bin nodded after hearing this, pondered for a moment and said: "Yes! I sent someone who claimed to be a lender from the bank. He said that Mr. Geng borrowed money and did not pay back. The bank did not dare to act rashly due to the relationship with the Geng family. Therefore We want someone to help keep an eye on Mr. Geng's dealings with some people."

"This is a good idea!" Zhu Gaoxu praised, "Just now that man said that people from the nearby villages often come to the prefecture to sell goods and do business. We can choose those people."

Wang Bin said embarrassingly: "I borrowed money in Beiping, and suddenly thought of it."

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain of the car, stuck out his head, and looked back at the Geng's manor that was drifting away.The white walls and blue tiles of the Zhuangzi, as well as the pavilions, are really well-built, surrounded by good fields, most of which are paddy fields that can grow rice.Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart: After all, he is a noble, and he can still live so well after running away.

That being the case, what is there to hook up between Geng Hao and Hu Wei?

Judging from Shen Xu's secret report, it should be Hu Yan who went to hook up Geng Hao.But it must be Geng Hao who can be used, so Hu Mei will do this... Zhu Gaoxu knows a little about Hu Mei, even the secret of Jianwen's escape, he can know some clues, he must be very thoughtful; otherwise, the emperor would not reuse him .

At this time, Wang Bin's voice said: "My lord, Hu Wei lives in Bao'en Temple Street, do you want to set up a stronghold there for the Imperial Guard?"

"This matter must be done slowly, and it must be foolproof." Zhu Gaoxu put down the curtain, turned his head and said, "Hu Wei is very vigilant, if he finds out, it is difficult for us to explain. Whether we dealt with Mu's family or Duan Yang's before, It doesn't matter, but Hu Wei is different, he is a person who obeyed the secret decree of the father."

Wang Bin clasped his fists hurriedly and said, "The general understands."

Zhu Gaoxu wore two thin clothes and sat in the carriage.The summer in Yunnan is really not hot, but you can still feel the temperature changes in the four seasons.

He remembered that when Wang Gui and others left Yunnan, it was still late spring and early summer, and it has been almost two months now.The small group of people walked the post road and changed horses at the post station. The journey from Yunnan to the capital would not exceed a month; if things went well, their return date would not be far away.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help looking to the northeast from the car window.However, the terrain in the northeast is undulating, and people on the main road do not have a wide view. They can only see the undulating crop fields and the looming black shadows of the mountains on the horizon.

Chapter 226 Fleeting

/p>At the beginning of July, Chen Dachui returned to Yunnan Fucheng alone.Zhu Gaoxu came to the study on the east side of the front hall, and immediately summoned Chen Dachui.

Chen Dachui's hair was covered with dust, and his clothes hadn't been changed for some time; sweat and mud mixed into black mud, which accumulated on his neck, forming two distinct black lines along the folds of his skin.

"I didn't stop all the way. I just arrived in Fucheng, and I haven't had time to go home yet." Chen Dachui had a tired expression on his dirty face, "I have something urgent to report to the lord."

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the teapot with his own hands, poured tea into a blue and white porcelain cup, and handed it over, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, my lord." Chen Dachui picked up the teacup and took a sip, immediately leaving a few black fingerprints on the white porcelain teacup.

Chen Dachui pulled off the collared coat with both hands, put his palms in, and heard a few "pop" sounds of thread breaking. He took out a booklet and said, "When I was guarding the Jade Ware Shop in the capital, a familiar The younger generation, who is fair and short, gave it to me, saying that he risked his life to get it from Beizhen Fusi. The younger generation told me that I must send it to the prince..."

Zhu Gaoxu took it, the place where he started it was a bit damp, there was still a sour | smelly smell on the booklet, and there were still a few black fingerprints on the cover.Zhu Gaoxu immediately flipped through it casually.

Chen Dachui's voice said again: "Wang Gui also sent a hundred households to Zhao Pinglai. The eldest son of Marquis Changxing was arrested, and the other two sons committed suicide at home; the Commander of Beiping, Ping An, was impeached and transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army in the capital. Later, Ping An met Wang Gui, said that he intends to defect to the prince!"

"Ping An took the initiative to vote?" Zhu Gaoxu stopped flipping through the brochure, and immediately raised his head to look at Chen Dachui in a daze.

Chen Dachui nodded.
