The happy life of a prodigal

Tang Hao thought for a while, raised his eyes, looked at the middle-aged steward in front of him, and asked, "What's the prefect's opinion on this matter?"

"I heard that the magistrate is furious and wants to thoroughly investigate this matter."

The middle-aged steward said.

After Tang Hao heard this, he frowned slightly, and after a while, he sighed and said: "In troubled times, we must act more cautiously.

During this period of time, you told the people in the house not to act rashly, let alone get caught.

As for where the money is, I'll send someone to tell. "

"Yes, Master!"

............

soup house.

There was an open space in front of the mansion. At this moment, there were seven more carriages. Surrounding the carriages were guards in soap clothes. The guards all had swords pinned to their waists. They seemed to be extraordinary.

"Miss Liu, this is where we live..."

Liu Dong followed behind Liu Qing, one step away, and said respectfully.

It never occurred to him that what the young master said in the letter was all true, and the 30-member guard team traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Gusu City, and there was no one missing.

Moreover, what was even more unexpected was that this escort team was led by Miss Liu Qing.

According to common sense, Liu Qing stayed in Fang Mansion as a prisoner.

But...in the eyes of their servants, this is not the case.

After all, the young master would go to the side courtyard to exchange life with this girl Liu Qing from time to time, who knows if he would have any feelings for him.

Therefore, when the servants of the Fang Mansion saw Liu Qing, although they were not as respectful as they were to Miss Zhao, they were not much different.

"Ah."

Liu Qing was wearing a black cloak to hide her graceful figure, she only glanced at the plaque of Fang Mansion, and said slowly: "The young master brought you money, enough to buy a house in Gusu City, Get out of here today."

"Yes, Miss Liu!"

Liu Dongduan stood upright and bowed respectfully.

At this time, the side door of Tang Mansion slowly opened.

Two figures appeared in front of the door.

"Miss Liu, he is Qian Zheng."

Liu Dong pointed to Qian Zheng and introduced.

Liu Qing nodded, glanced at Qian Zheng, without too much nonsense, asked very straightforwardly: "Where is the sweet potato?"

Qian Zheng hadn't been in Fang's residence for long, so he naturally didn't know that there was still such a Miss Liu living in the courtyard next to the young master's residence.

But seeing so many guards and Liu Dong's attitude, he immediately understood.

First saluted, and then said: "Report... sir, I put the sweet potato in the soup mansion, sir, do you want me to go back and get it?"

Liu Qing nodded and said, "Go ahead and pack your luggage by the way."

When Qian Zheng heard this, he was slightly taken aback, with a look of doubt on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Dong reminded in a low voice, "The young master said, let's buy a house and a few acres of land by ourselves. During this time, we will stay in Gusu City to grow sweet potatoes."

After hearing this, Qian Zheng showed excitement on his face, looked at Liu Qing, and nodded hastily: "I understand, I'm going to prepare now!"

After finishing speaking, he trotted back to Tang Mansion.

When he came out again, he was already holding two sweet potatoes in his hand.

Liu Qing looked at the sweet potato that looked like a weed, and seemed a little surprised.

"This...is the sweet potato?"

Qian Zheng nodded, and replied: "Mr. Hui, these are indeed sweet potatoes. There are four plants in total, and all of them have grown."

"Ah."

Liu Qing nodded and didn't speak any more.

Qian Zheng originally wanted to say something, but when he saw this scene, he shut his mouth.

The person in front of him didn't seem very interested in sweet potatoes, he just asked a question and didn't talk about other things.

Qian Zheng originally wanted to ask some instructions from the young master, but at this moment, he did not dare to speak.

After all, more than a month ago, he was just a refugee fleeing famine.

When facing some outsiders, he still has some confidence, but when facing his own people, he seems a little cautious.

"Miss Liu, where are we going now?"

At this time, Liu Dong, who was still an old man in Fangfu, seemed more relaxed.

When Liu Qing heard this question, she was silent for a moment, and said, "My task has been completed, and you can decide the rest."

When Qian Zheng and Liu Dong heard this, they immediately fell into a dilemma.

The two struggled for a while, and after asking Miss Liu for instructions, they still decided to find a house first.

Although Gusu City is prosperous, compared to the capital, the house is not so outrageously expensive.

In addition, this time the young master brought not only a huge amount of silver bills, but also a full box of gold and silver.

These are hard currencies anywhere in Chu State.

As long as there is enough money, there are not many things in this world that cannot be done.

for example......

It took them less than an hour to find a house in Gusu City that could accommodate hundreds of people.

From paying the money to checking in, it took no more than three hours.

Even the owner of that house gave a plaque engraved with the word 'Fangfu' as a gift.

From this moment on, there was an extra Fang Mansion in Gusu City.

In the bustling city of Gusu, there are countless caravans that come in and out every day, but it is rare to have thirty 'elite' escorts like Fangfu.

Therefore, as soon as this caravan entered Gusu City, it attracted the attention of many interested people.

Especially since this caravan stayed in front of the Tang Mansion for such a long time, it attracted even more attention.

"Gone? When did you leave?"

The middle-aged steward looked at the servant in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked.

The servant thought for a while and replied, "It was about three hours ago, and there were still people picking them up."

"who?"

At this time, Tang Hao next to him asked.

"Like a caravan?"

"Caravan?"

Hearing this answer, Tang Hao's expression instantly became very exciting.

Chapter 4 and nine... ten thousand deaths!

Tang Hao showed a pensive look on his face, but did not speak.

The middle-aged steward saw this scene, thought for a while, and said, "Master, you can go to the capital, I will investigate the matter of the caravan."

"No need, since they have left the Tang Mansion, there is no connection between them and the Tang Mansion."

Tang Hao said.

"Yes, Master!"

The middle-aged manager responded.

After Tang Hao looked at it, he looked into the distance and sighed secretly.

I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to know Qian Zheng and his party at this time...

.........

The palace, the warm pavilion.

Emperor Chu frowned, looking at the inkstone in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

Beside, Liu Cheng poured tea carefully, not daring to say anything more.

During this period of time, many things happened in the capital, each of which caused His Majesty to be overwhelmed.

Years of experience told him that as an eunuch, the more he was at this time, the more he had to act as if he had no sense of existence.

"Liu Cheng..."

However, at this time, Emperor Chu looked up at him.

Liu Cheng's whole body trembled slightly, and in an instant, a smile appeared on his face, and he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what should I tell my servant?"

Emperor Chu looked at him and said, "Let Fang Xiu come to see me."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left the Nuan Pavilion, summoned a little eunuch casually, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, the little eunuch nodded and immediately walked towards the palace gate.

In the past few months, the courtier His Majesty has summoned the most is Xin'an Bo Fangxiu, and the eunuchs waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion are already familiar with it.

After Liu Cheng returned to the Nuan Pavilion, he raised his eyes cautiously, glanced at Emperor Chu, and found that Emperor Chu's brows were still frowning.

He walked behind Emperor Chu, thought for a while, mustered up his courage, and said, "What's on your mind, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chu raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Cheng.

Immediately, Liu Cheng's little heart jumped up, he bowed hurriedly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant does not want to speculate on His Majesty's mind.

It's just that my servant has served His Majesty for more than twenty years, and I have never seen His Majesty so worried. Now seeing His Majesty like this, my servant feels uncomfortable.

The servant girl knows that His Majesty's mind is not something we can fathom.

However, the servant also knows that when one is depressed, it will be much more comfortable if there is someone to talk to. "

What he said was true and sincere, but it was also what he said in his heart.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu glanced at him, sighed secretly, but said slowly without reproach, "I am different from you, I carry thousands of people on my shoulders.

You open your eyes every day, thinking about what to eat, what to do, and what to play. When I open my eyes, what I see is the people in this world. What I worry about is how to make the country rich and how to make the people safe. ..."

Speaking of this, he paused, but couldn't continue.

After a long time, it finally turned into a sigh: "For these, I don't know how much effort I have put in, but I have neglected many other things.

I still remember that Kang Wang and Ning Wang were so cute, so kind, and so innocent when they were young, but now...

That's all... let's not talk about it, when will Fang Xiu arrive? "

When Liu Cheng heard this, he already understood.

Your Majesty is blaming himself for not educating and protecting the two princes well.

In the past, maybe I didn't think so much, but now it's different.

Your Majesty is getting old, and one day he will go west with a crane.

At that time, who will be able to inherit the great rule?

King Ning...

Or Kang Wang?

None of them seem to be suitable, but apart from them, what other options are there?

That's all, now King Kang has been poisoned by someone, and his life and death are uncertain, and it is a question of whether he can live for a few days.

The entire imperial medical office has been studying around the clock for three days and nights, but they can't find the cause of His Royal Highness Kang Wang.

So far, it is not even possible to determine whether His Royal Highness Kang Wang is poisoned or sick.
