The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 139 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Jia Amnesty remained silent, and then Du Chunxiao added another sentence.
"I've also taken care of your child for the adults, and he hasn't suffered any disadvantages along the way. But I see that the child doesn't like me very much. Please ask the adults to find someone more pleasing when you send someone over next time. So I am even more grateful." Du Chun smiled affectionately, and his smile was bright and dazzling, which made Baihua pale.
"Oh? Are you waiting for me to find you?" Jia She asked.
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "Exactly. Otherwise, I would not have been ordered by Mr. Song to come to Liuzhou with you. You know, the sky in the capital is even more unpredictable than here in Liuzhou."
"What do you mean?" Jia She asked.
"Your Excellency should also know that the situation in the court is changing rapidly. Sometimes you close your eyes and sleep, and then open them again, and the day will change." Du Chun smiled and pointed to the sky, "It's like the situation tonight, when the wind blows , dark clouds cover the moon, tomorrow will definitely be a heavy rain."
After Du Chun laughed, he respectfully invited Jia Amnesty into the house.
There were some guests who had been drinking all night in the restaurant. When they entered the door, these people never glanced at them, they still toasted each other and laughed loudly.These people were all young men, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and well-built, Jia She knew at a glance that the guards were here in disguise.
After going up to the second floor, Jia Amnesty was led into the private room by Du Chunxiao.
When Dou Cong heard the movement, he came out from the next room and was secretly surprised when he saw Jia She. He didn't talk to Jia She immediately because he was afraid of Du Chunxiao.
Jia Amnesty sent Dou Cong to rest first, and talk about things tomorrow.
The guard on Dou Cong's face relaxed, he glanced at Du Chun and smiled, then nodded to Jia Amnesty, and obediently went back to his room.
"It's rare that Master Jia can subdue this little devil." After Du Chunxiao took his seat, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Tell me, what's going on with the current situation." Jia She said.
Du Chun's smiling face also became serious, and he said solemnly to Jia She: "The prince is back."
"Prince?" Jia Amnesty stared at Du Chunxiao's eyes.
"It's the one who died, and now he came back from the dead, and he even came to me. Thinking about it, you may know that I used to be an attendant by the prince's side, and later he was designed by the concubine Xian and the third prince to lead troops to fight. I stayed and took care of the affairs of the capital for him. I didn't want to say goodbye, so I got the news of his death, and I became Master Song's staff." Du Chunxiao lowered his eyes, paused, and continued, "Simple That’s all, there’s nothing special about it. As for how he came back alive seven years later, I don’t know. I only know that after he escaped with serious injuries, he was lucky enough to be treated by a savage, and then met by chance. When he arrived at Noble Zhenyan, Heng Jun learned the news and took advantage of the opportunity of his envoy to Da Zhou to help him return to the capital."
"The identity of the prince can be verified, is there something tricky?" Jia She asked.
Du Chun smiled: "That's right. He can tell about his experiences from childhood to adulthood. He can also explain things that the two of them know privately and that no outsider knows. His appearance has never been too big. Change, this identity should not be suspicious anymore."
"Now the emperor has recognized him?" Jia She asked in surprise.
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "On the day I left Beijing, Prime Minister Wu had already started to take the crown prince to the palace to recognize his relatives. You don't have to wonder why your news network didn't send news. Tang Tianli's Changsheng camp has already set up a card Guard all the main roads leading to Liuzhou, we have been in Liuzhou for the past few days, and the news is almost blocked, and we have not received any news from the capital. I guess I should have recognized it in the past few days."
At this time, there were footsteps outside the window, and the crisp sound of iron objects colliding.
Jia Amnesty opened the window slightly, looked sideways at the street downstairs, and found that these soldiers only walked back and forth on the main road, and hardly set foot in the alleys.
Jia Amnesty thought that he had brought people along the alley just now, no wonder he didn't meet a single soldier along the way.
Jia She had a vague feeling that the Changsheng Camp deliberately trapped him in Liuzhou City, but did not stop him from escaping from the government office.With the strength of the Changsheng Battalion, it is impossible for him to escape so smoothly if he really wants to catch him.
"Where's Ma Tianmo, not with you?" Du Chunxiao suddenly remembered.
"Forgot to call." Jia Amnesty didn't think Ma Tianmo was in any danger.
"Forget it, with his ingenuity, he can save his life in a free way." Du Chunxiao then told Jia Amnesty to stay in the wine shop temporarily for safety.As for the current situation, we can only wait and see.
"I have to go back to Beijing." Jia She said.
"Who doesn't want to go back, and now we want to go back, there is no way. There are [-] cavalry in the Changsheng Battalion, and the small Liuzhou City is tightly surrounded." Du Chun laughed.
Although he didn't know the reason, Jia She always had the feeling that the incident in Liuzhou seemed to deliberately lure him away from Beijing.
Mine piracy is a deliberate act, but the flood of private salt is nothing more than confiscating a list of merchants, but there is no one behind the real salt sales.The third prince was clearly cleared of the suspicion, but because of Tang Tianli's arrival, his attitude changed drastically. He pretended to die in front of him and asked him to write a memorial to frame him for treason.Jia She still hasn't figured out what the third prince's play is, and now there is a Da Zhou prince who has been resurrected from the dead, and he seems to be teaming up with Prince Zhenyan.The meaning of Song Xi's attitude is unclear, and Prime Minister Wu is also involved. Jia Yucun, who has always been suspicious, does not know where he came from, let alone whether there is another person behind the scenes, and what purpose he has.
Besides, Du Chunxiao in front of him is not without suspicion.If he obeyed Song Xi's order, he was here to protect him, why didn't he tell him about the prince's return to court earlier.He should have been aware of the news that the Changsheng Camp surrounded Liuzhou City long ago, and he never reminded him.
Jia Amnesty felt that although he was here to investigate the case, he had already been taken out of the case at the moment.It seems that since he learned about the private mining of iron ore in Liuzhou, an invisible hand pulled him out with little bit of scheming.
After Du Chunxiao listened to Zhu Mao's account of the incident, he immediately looked at Jia She: "Do you have any hints in the memorial written by Mr. Jia about the rebellion of the third prince?"
Du Chunxiao is really smart.
Jia Amnesty nodded, indicating that there were indeed some hints, but probably only Song Xi, who was reviewing the memorial, could understand.
Du Chun smiled when he heard this, frowned, and lamented that the excerpt might go straight to heaven, and Mr. Song might not be able to see it.
"But it doesn't matter if you can't see it. Although the contents related to the third prince's salt and iron case written in the lord's booklet are false, the fact of his rebellion is true. The third prince is not guarding the mausoleum now, and he is in collusion with Chang Shengying. The soldiers are suppressing Liuzhou, obviously they have objections. Now it depends on his next step, will he lead the [-] soldiers of Changsheng Battalion to attack the capital?"
Jia She shook his head. Muruijiong is not very smart, but after all, he has lived in the intrigue of the royal family for more than [-] years, so he will not be so stupid.This Muruijiong cheated to death in front of him, so there must be someone behind him, because no one would frame him for treason in front of the emperor for no reason.
Jia Amnesty pondered for a moment, still feeling that this matter is not good, he must rush back to the capital as soon as possible.
Du Chunxiao seemed to be aware of Jia She's strange behavior, and before resigning, he reminded Jia She tactfully, "It's late at night, my lord, have a good rest. Now it's late autumn, it's windy outside, and it's going to be midwinter soon, so take care of yourself and cover yourselves." A tight quilt is the priority."
Du Chun said with a smile, and sent his subordinates to bring over the white fox blanket he brought from the capital, and specially told Jia She that it was a new one and had never been used.
Jia Amnesty: "Thank you."
Du Chunxiao was stunned when he heard the words, and took a look at Jia Amnesty before turning around and leaving.
Zhu Mao closed the door, poured tea for his master, and said: "A humble little boy, he has a temper, why should the master thank such a person."
"Thank you." Jia Amnesty took the tea from Zhu Mao and said again.
Zhu Mao was stunned, then lowered his head in shame, knowing that the master was treating others as before, and he shouldn't look down on others.Zhu Mao hurriedly apologized, and stepped aside without saying a word.
Jia She summoned Gui San and asked him to go out in the dark to see if there was a way out of Liuzhou City.
Gui San immediately covered his face, pushed the window to the room, and disappeared into the night.
Before dawn, Ghost San came back and told Jia She that there are heavy soldiers guarding both inside and outside the city, "Forcing the city by force will definitely not succeed, and now it depends on whether people can come and go at the east city gate during the daytime. If so, there is hope to disguise yourself." , get out of town."
Jia Amnesty sent Gui San to rest quickly, and after dawn, he would go out to check the situation near the city gate and find out.It is unlikely that Liuzhou City will be closed.Once the city is closed, it will definitely attract the attention of the surroundings. Tang Tianli probably doesn't have the guts yet to spread the news of his occupation of Liuzhou City to the capital.
During breakfast, Dou Cong came to join in the fun and asked Jia Amnesty if something happened.
Jia Amnesty didn't hide it from him, so he told Dou Cong what happened in the Liuzhou Yamen in the past two days.
Dou Cong was full of doubts when he heard it, "Is the third prince really dead or fake death?"
"I don't know." Jia She said.
Dou Cong frowned, put his face in one hand, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I'll check it out for you!"
"Don't make trouble, those two are murderous characters without blinking an eye." Zhu Mao hurriedly stopped the little ancestor.
"I am confident that they will not find me." Dou Cong raised his head proudly.
Seeing this, Jia Amnesty smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Mao: "My uncle Dou, don't talk big, Du Chunxiao can see right through you at a glance."
Dou Cong didn't believe it. After several confirmations, he realized that Du Chunxiao had seen through him a long time ago. He was so angry that he turned around and threw himself on the bed, face down, ashamed to see anyone.
It was broad daylight.
Jia Amnesty changed into linen clothes and messed up her bun.Zhu Mao took out the black ointment that he had prepared earlier, mixed it with water to dilute it, then tapped Jia She's face a few times with his fingertips, then rubbed it all the way to his neck, and his skin color became darker. He looked like a sun-baked farmer doing farm work.Jia Amnesty immediately dipped some on it and wiped his hands black.He also changed the big and small eyes that he is best at. The originally handsome facial features were a little skewed in this way, and suddenly there was a rascal and vulgar air leaking out.
Heizhu gave his master a thumbs up in admiration, and almost knelt down to him, "When it comes to disguise skills, the master is the first, and there is no second."
Dou Cong couldn't help being curious when he heard the words, he jumped off the couch and leaned over to say that he would do it too.Zhu Mao hurriedly sent him to play.
Jia Amnesty: "Go ahead, I'll take a child out, it's not easy to attract attention."
Dou Cong smiled triumphantly, quickly put his face closer, and asked Zhu Mao what the black ointment was.
"It's a dye from the Western Regions. It's squeezed from the seeds of a kind of grass called black-faced grass. It's very rare. It won't fade even when you sweat and get wet. It needs to be wiped with rapeseed oil to get rid of it. So you wait a while Be careful when you go out, don't get oily, and don't eat fried cakes." Zhu Mao instructed.
Dou Cong pouted at Zhu Mao, but he didn't want to do that.
After Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong disguised themselves, they went out from the main entrance of the restaurant.Jia Amnesty held a jug of wine in one hand and Dou Cong in the other, pretending that the father and son had just come out of the wine shop.
It was almost noon, and the street was already bustling with noise from hawkers, wine shops, and tea shops.The two walked along the main road all the way to the east gate of Liuzhou City, and sat down at a nearby tea stall.Dou Cong ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, and called Jia She "Father" crisply, and poured him tea respectfully.
Because Dou Cong yelled too loudly and his voice was very nice, people around him immediately looked sideways, but after taking a look, they found that the child was just an ordinary-looking farm boy with a tanned face, which was not very attractive, so they all immediately looked at him. Busy with their own things to go.
Jia She gave Dou Cong a dark look, and warned him not to cause trouble, otherwise he would never have his share in the future.
"Understood, father!" Dou Cong smiled at Jia She, showing his white teeth.
"Tsk tsk, look at this child, he really has good teeth, envy, envy." The passing old man couldn't help sighing when he saw the child's beautiful smile.He smiled, his mouth was empty, and a tooth was gone.
Dou Cong hurriedly got up, respectfully went to support the old man, and asked him to sit down slowly.The old man hurriedly thanked him happily, which attracted praise from the people around him, saying that Jia She had raised a good son.
Jia Amnesty smiled perfunctorily to everyone, then turned his head and only looked in the direction of the city gate.Now it is in a closed state, but some people who left the city were puzzled and asked why, but the soldiers guarding the city sent them away without explaining anything.
Later, more and more people who were about to leave the city gathered at the gate of the city. There were so many people and great strength. Everyone gathered together and shouted, and the noise became louder and louder, asking the guards to give them an explanation.Seeing that the situation was difficult to control, the officers and soldiers rushed to inform their superiors.
Not long after, Tang Tianli came aggressively with a group of guards on a tall horse.Seeing this, the common people were a little scared, and retreated one after another, making way for a wide road.
After Tang Tianli dismounted, the accompanying guards grabbed a roll and went to the wall next to the city gate, brushed paste on the wall, and stuck the portrait on it.
Jia Amnesty saw himself at a glance, followed by Zhu Mao, Gui San and others.
Seeing this, Dou Cong was terrified, and tightly grasped Jia Amnesty's fingers.
"This is a felon who framed and stabbed the Third Prince. A reward of 5 taels of silver is offered for his arrest! As long as he lives!" Tang Tianli clapped his hands after speaking, and two soldiers lifted a heavy box from the car.The box was opened immediately, and the golden things inside made all the onlookers widen their eyes.
A box full of gold ingots.
The people were all excited, and they all came forward to look at Jia She's head carefully, eager to try. 5 taels, they just don’t do anything every day, just lie down and eat meat, and they can’t spend it all until they die. They can still leave it to their children and grandchildren to continue to eat delicious and spicy food, and then respectfully enshrine their own tablets.
Someone in the crowd finally realized who Jia She's name was, and said in amazement, "Isn't this Mr. Fu Guogong? Why is he a wanted criminal?"
"Oh my god, the Duke killed the third prince? This, how is this possible..."
The common people discussed it one after another, some raised doubts, some said it was impossible, some said that the Duke of the State was a beast with a human face, and some even mentioned "Secrets of the Neighborhood"...
"The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. He assisted the Duke of the country to kill the royal family. Why can't he be wanted?" Same reward.
Even if you catch a follower of Marquis Jia En, that would be 1000 taels of silver, enough for small families like them to enjoy a lifetime of happiness.The soldiers were full of ambition, and they had a great chance of defending the city to catch these fleeing people, so they all seized this opportunity to make a fortune and took note of these portraits.Tang Tianli immediately asked someone to open the city gate, and asked these people to line up in an orderly manner, and they could only enter and exit the city gate after being inspected one by one.
Dou Cong rolled his eyes and looked at Jia Amnesty, "This guy can turn black and white, how dare he call you a wanted criminal?"
"Go back and talk." Jia Amnesty put down the money and led Dou Cong away.
Back at the restaurant, Gui Sanwai asked about Jia Amnesty's situation.
Dou Cong said: "Each of you is worth 1000 taels of silver, but your master is very powerful, and a reward of 5 taels of gold is offered."
"5 taels, so much?" Zhu Mao opened his mouth wide. In comparison, he was really cheap.
"No disguise, don't go out in the future." Du Chunxiao walked over and told everyone with a solemn face.
Soon everyone broke up, and Du Chunxiao assured Jia She that there are very reliable people in this restaurant and they will not betray anyone.
Jia Amnesty nodded, of course he could trust Song Xi's people.
"You still want to leave Beijing?" Du Chun asked with a smile.
"Yes." Jia She looked at Du Chun and smiled, "Leave tomorrow."
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "If that's the case, I won't force you to stay."
When Jia Amnesty saw Du Chunxiao leave, he immediately ordered Zhu Mao to repaint him with black ointment, prepared some scattered silver and some bank notes on him, and called Dou Cong again.
Dou Cong heard that Jia Amnesty would leave immediately, and was a little surprised how he made a decision so quickly. "Just the two of us, you just take me?"
"Why, dare not leave?" Jia She asked.
Dou Cong patted his chest and stared wide-eyed, "Naturally, I'm happy just thinking about it. What I want to do the most is to wander the rivers and lakes alone."
Zhu Mao: "Master, what about us?"
"There are so many people, so there are many goals, and there are many dangers of exposure. You stay here temporarily, just to help me cover up, hold Du Chunxiao temporarily, and try to delay the time for him to know that I am leaving. After I leave, you will wait here safely. News, don't make mistakes, and don't go around, he won't hurt you, just wait, the day will come when the clouds will clear and the moon will shine." Jia She instructed.
Zhu Mao nodded, reassuring Jia Amnesty that they would abide by the master's orders and keep themselves safe.
"There is a problem with the Liuzhou sub-helm. If you are in a hurry after I leave, you can check it out. Remember that if the person who goes out to investigate has a face, those portraits don't show it."
Zhu Mao didn't understand why his master said that there was a problem with the Liuzhou branch of the news network, "Where do we start to investigate?"
"Since I arrived in Liuzhou, it's okay if nothing happened in the capital, but now, according to what Du Chunxiao said, the situation in the capital is changing rapidly. It can be seen that there are a lot of news that can be spread, but now we have not received any news. It's really suspicious. Don't say that if someone sets up a card on the official road, the news can't be passed on. The word "passing the news" won't be written on the face. It can be reached by pretending to be disguised or taking a detour. It's not difficult, but I'm afraid of receiving it. The person who got the news became malicious." Jia She said.
Zhu Mao suddenly realized and slapped his legs, "I said I didn't think it was right, it turned out to be like this. Don't worry, master, I know how to measure, and I will do what I can with ghosts, and find out the spies as soon as possible and deal with them cleanly."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and gave instructions to the outside world, raising his voice slightly, saying that he should take a rest.Zhu Mao immediately agreed and left with the people.
Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong then went to wait in Room [-] of the restaurant.
Not long after, the clerk of the restaurant called two father and son wearing straw hats into the house.
After the father and son entered the room, they saw two bowls of tea and several plates of snacks on the table. "I didn't expect there to be such a good thing, eating and sleeping for free." The father and son happily ate and drank tea, and then lay down on the bed with a snack plate.Not long after, the two fell asleep on the couch.
Jia Amnesty pulled Dou Cong out of the closet, took off the coats of the father and son, and put the new clothes in the closet beside them, leaving ten taels of silver on the clothes.
Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong changed their clothes, put on their straw hats, went downstairs, and left with their heads bowed.
At noon, when the restaurant is busy, the waiter in the shop is so busy that he does not touch the ground.Behind the counter, there is a waiter who specializes in watching people. Looking at the clothes and backs, it is the customers who came in not long ago, so he didn't think anything, and let them go.At this time, Gui San approached with a smile, and discussed with the waiter about going out for a walk, but was rejected, and was pushed directly to the backyard.
"What are you going to do? Don't go. If you go out with your appearance, you will cause trouble. Stay in the backyard obediently. The guests in the restaurant are talking about wanted things today, so don't be recognized."
Du Chunxiao came out of the kitchen, and said yes, "I don't think you can stay in such a noisy place, I will arrange another place for you tonight."
After finishing speaking, Du Chunxiao asked Ghost San Jiashe where he was again.
Gui San pouted in the direction of Yajian, "I stayed up late yesterday, and I was sleepy after eating, so I fell asleep."
Du Chun smiled and nodded, then turned and went back to his room.
After Jia Amnesty took Dou Cong out of the restaurant, he went straight to the city gate.
There is still a long queue at the gate of the city, but it is noon now, and there are fewer people.Before it was time for the guards to change their guards, they were already hungry, smelling the scent of lunch wafting from the shops and homes in the city, they were a little distracted, and only wanted to eat.In addition, the sun is bright at noon today, and it is still a little hot, which makes people feel lazy and sleepy.
When it was Jia She's turn, Jia She reported his self-made name and the purpose of leaving the city, and it was quickly passed.The two left the city, and after walking for a while, Jia She bought two horses of average quality from others at four times the price. He untied the reins, got off the saddle, and slapped the horse away.The saddle and bridle were thrown into the shade.Jia Amnesty took Dou Cong into the county town on foot and stayed in an inn.
"Aren't you in a hurry to go to Beijing? Why did you lose your horse and stop after walking two steps?" Dou Cong asked.
"This is the only way to go to the capital, let's take a look at the scenery first." After Jia She said, he asked Dou Cong to watch the wind by the window and lie down for a while.
After half an hour, Dou Cong became impatient and yawned.
Jia Amnesty came to replace him.
At dusk, Jia Amnesty heard the sound of many horseshoes. Fang raised his head, looked away from the booklet, and opened the window. He saw Du Chunxiao and a group of people passing by on horseback.Not long after that, I saw Ma Tianmo also riding a horse and leading some people there.Less than half an hour later, a lieutenant next to Tang Tianli led nearly a hundred soldiers passing by on horseback.
Dou Cong just woke up, and was startled when he saw the scene through the window.
"They can't catch us." Jia Amnesty's steady voice immediately calmed Dou Cong's emotions.
Dou Cong: "This is?"
"The third dial." Jia She said.
Dou Cong observed that Jia She's mood was wrong, and he knew that it might be related to Song Xi, and now it was naturally related to Du Chunxiao.Immediately thinking that he was running away without telling Du Chunxiao, Dou Cong shivered violently.
"They're all in the same group?"
"I've also taken care of your child for the adults, and he hasn't suffered any disadvantages along the way. But I see that the child doesn't like me very much. Please ask the adults to find someone more pleasing when you send someone over next time. So I am even more grateful." Du Chun smiled affectionately, and his smile was bright and dazzling, which made Baihua pale.
"Oh? Are you waiting for me to find you?" Jia She asked.
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "Exactly. Otherwise, I would not have been ordered by Mr. Song to come to Liuzhou with you. You know, the sky in the capital is even more unpredictable than here in Liuzhou."
"What do you mean?" Jia She asked.
"Your Excellency should also know that the situation in the court is changing rapidly. Sometimes you close your eyes and sleep, and then open them again, and the day will change." Du Chun smiled and pointed to the sky, "It's like the situation tonight, when the wind blows , dark clouds cover the moon, tomorrow will definitely be a heavy rain."
After Du Chun laughed, he respectfully invited Jia Amnesty into the house.
There were some guests who had been drinking all night in the restaurant. When they entered the door, these people never glanced at them, they still toasted each other and laughed loudly.These people were all young men, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and well-built, Jia She knew at a glance that the guards were here in disguise.
After going up to the second floor, Jia Amnesty was led into the private room by Du Chunxiao.
When Dou Cong heard the movement, he came out from the next room and was secretly surprised when he saw Jia She. He didn't talk to Jia She immediately because he was afraid of Du Chunxiao.
Jia Amnesty sent Dou Cong to rest first, and talk about things tomorrow.
The guard on Dou Cong's face relaxed, he glanced at Du Chun and smiled, then nodded to Jia Amnesty, and obediently went back to his room.
"It's rare that Master Jia can subdue this little devil." After Du Chunxiao took his seat, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Tell me, what's going on with the current situation." Jia She said.
Du Chun's smiling face also became serious, and he said solemnly to Jia She: "The prince is back."
"Prince?" Jia Amnesty stared at Du Chunxiao's eyes.
"It's the one who died, and now he came back from the dead, and he even came to me. Thinking about it, you may know that I used to be an attendant by the prince's side, and later he was designed by the concubine Xian and the third prince to lead troops to fight. I stayed and took care of the affairs of the capital for him. I didn't want to say goodbye, so I got the news of his death, and I became Master Song's staff." Du Chunxiao lowered his eyes, paused, and continued, "Simple That’s all, there’s nothing special about it. As for how he came back alive seven years later, I don’t know. I only know that after he escaped with serious injuries, he was lucky enough to be treated by a savage, and then met by chance. When he arrived at Noble Zhenyan, Heng Jun learned the news and took advantage of the opportunity of his envoy to Da Zhou to help him return to the capital."
"The identity of the prince can be verified, is there something tricky?" Jia She asked.
Du Chun smiled: "That's right. He can tell about his experiences from childhood to adulthood. He can also explain things that the two of them know privately and that no outsider knows. His appearance has never been too big. Change, this identity should not be suspicious anymore."
"Now the emperor has recognized him?" Jia She asked in surprise.
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "On the day I left Beijing, Prime Minister Wu had already started to take the crown prince to the palace to recognize his relatives.

Jia Yucun, who has always been suspicious, does not know where he came from, let alone whether there is another person behind the scenes, and what purpose he has.

Jia Amnesty pondered for a moment, still feeling that this matter is not good, he must rush back to the capital as soon as possible.
Du Chunxiao seemed to be aware of Jia She's strange behavior, and before resigning, he reminded Jia She tactfully, "It's late at night, my lord, have a good rest. Now it's late autumn, it's windy outside, and it's going to be midwinter soon, so take care of yourself and cover yourselves." A tight quilt is the priority."
Du Chun said with a smile, and sent his subordinates to bring over the white fox blanket he brought from the capital, and specially told Jia She that it was a new one and had never been used.
Jia Amnesty: "Thank you."
Du Chunxiao was stunned when he heard the words, and took a look at Jia Amnesty before turning around and leaving.
Zhu Mao closed the door, poured tea for his master, and said: "A humble little boy, he has a temper, why should the master thank such a person."
"Thank you." Jia Amnesty took the tea from Zhu Mao and said again.
Zhu Mao was stunned, then lowered his head in shame, knowing that the master was treating others as before, and he shouldn't look down on others.Zhu Mao hurriedly apologized, and stepped aside without saying a word.
Jia She summoned Gui San and asked him to go out in the dark to see if there was a way out of Liuzhou City.
Gui San immediately covered his face, pushed the window to the room, and disappeared into the night.
Before dawn, Ghost San came back and told Jia She that there are heavy soldiers guarding both inside and outside the city, "Forcing the city by force will definitely not succeed, and now it depends on whether people can come and go at the east city gate during the daytime. If so, there is hope to disguise yourself." , get out of town."
Jia Amnesty sent Gui San to rest quickly, and after dawn, he would go out to check the situation near the city gate and find out.It is unlikely that Liuzhou City will be closed.Once the city is closed, it will definitely attract the attention of the surroundings. Tang Tianli probably doesn't have the guts yet to spread the news of his occupation of Liuzhou City to the capital.
During breakfast, Dou Cong came to join in the fun and asked Jia Amnesty if something happened.
Jia Amnesty didn't hide it from him, so he told Dou Cong what happened in the Liuzhou Yamen in the past two days.
Dou Cong was full of doubts when he heard it, "Is the third prince really dead or fake death?"
"I don't know." Jia She said.
Dou Cong frowned, put his face in one hand, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I'll check it out for you!"
"Don't make trouble, those two are murderous characters without blinking an eye." Zhu Mao hurriedly stopped the little ancestor.
"I am confident that they will not find me." Dou Cong raised his head proudly.
Seeing this, Jia Amnesty smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Mao: "My uncle Dou, don't talk big, Du Chunxiao can see right through you at a glance."
Dou Cong didn't believe it. After several confirmations, he realized that Du Chunxiao had seen through him a long time ago. He was so angry that he turned around and threw himself on the bed, face down, ashamed to see anyone.
It was broad daylight.
Jia Amnesty changed into linen clothes and messed up her bun.Zhu Mao took out the black ointment that he had prepared earlier, mixed it with water to dilute it, then tapped Jia She's face a few times with his fingertips, then rubbed it all the way to his neck, and his skin color became darker. He looked like a sun-baked farmer doing farm work.Jia Amnesty immediately dipped some on it and wiped his hands black.He also changed the big and small eyes that he is best at. The originally handsome facial features were a little skewed in this way, and suddenly there was a rascal and vulgar air leaking out.
Heizhu gave his master a thumbs up in admiration, and almost knelt down to him, "When it comes to disguise skills, the master is the first, and there is no second."
Dou Cong couldn't help being curious when he heard the words, he jumped off the couch and leaned over to say that he would do it too.Zhu Mao hurriedly sent him to play.
Jia Amnesty: "Go ahead, I'll take a child out, it's not easy to attract attention."
Dou Cong smiled triumphantly, quickly put his face closer, and asked Zhu Mao what the black ointment was.
"It's a dye from the Western Regions. It's squeezed from the seeds of a kind of grass called black-faced grass. It's very rare. It won't fade even when you sweat and get wet. It needs to be wiped with rapeseed oil to get rid of it. So you wait a while Be careful when you go out, don't get oily, and don't eat fried cakes." Zhu Mao instructed.
Dou Cong pouted at Zhu Mao, but he didn't want to do that.
After Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong disguised themselves, they went out from the main entrance of the restaurant.Jia Amnesty held a jug of wine in one hand and Dou Cong in the other, pretending that the father and son had just come out of the wine shop.
It was almost noon, and the street was already bustling with noise from hawkers, wine shops, and tea shops.The two walked along the main road all the way to the east gate of Liuzhou City, and sat down at a nearby tea stall.Dou Cong ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, and called Jia She "Father" crisply, and poured him tea respectfully.
Because Dou Cong yelled too loudly and his voice was very nice, people around him immediately looked sideways, but after taking a look, they found that the child was just an ordinary-looking farm boy with a tanned face, which was not very attractive, so they all immediately looked at him. Busy with their own things to go.
Jia She gave Dou Cong a dark look, and warned him not to cause trouble, otherwise he would never have his share in the future.
"Understood, father!" Dou Cong smiled at Jia She, showing his white teeth.
"Tsk tsk, look at this child, he really has good teeth, envy, envy." The passing old man couldn't help sighing when he saw the child's beautiful smile.He smiled, his mouth was empty, and a tooth was gone.
Dou Cong hurriedly got up, respectfully went to support the old man, and asked him to sit down slowly.The old man hurriedly thanked him happily, which attracted praise from the people around him, saying that Jia She had raised a good son.
Jia Amnesty smiled perfunctorily to everyone, then turned his head and only looked in the direction of the city gate.Now it is in a closed state, but some people who left the city were puzzled and asked why, but the soldiers guarding the city sent them away without explaining anything.
Later, more and more people who were about to leave the city gathered at the gate of the city. There were so many people and great strength. Everyone gathered together and shouted, and the noise became louder and louder, asking the guards to give them an explanation.Seeing that the situation was difficult to control, the officers and soldiers rushed to inform their superiors.
Not long after, Tang Tianli came aggressively with a group of guards on a tall horse.Seeing this, the common people were a little scared, and retreated one after another, making way for a wide road.
After Tang Tianli dismounted, the accompanying guards grabbed a roll and went to the wall next to the city gate, brushed paste on the wall, and stuck the portrait on it.
Jia Amnesty saw himself at a glance, followed by Zhu Mao, Gui San and others.
Seeing this, Dou Cong was terrified, and tightly grasped Jia Amnesty's fingers.
"This is a felon who framed and stabbed the Third Prince. A reward of 5 taels of silver is offered for his arrest! As long as he lives!" Tang Tianli clapped his hands after speaking, and two soldiers lifted a heavy box from the car.The box was opened immediately, and the golden things inside made all the onlookers widen their eyes.
A box full of gold ingots.
The people were all excited, and they all came forward to look at Jia She's head carefully, eager to try. 5 taels, they just don’t do anything every day, just lie down and eat meat, and they can’t spend it all until they die. They can still leave it to their children and grandchildren to continue to eat delicious and spicy food, and then respectfully enshrine their own tablets.
Someone in the crowd finally realized who Jia She's name was, and said in amazement, "Isn't this Mr. Fu Guogong? Why is he a wanted criminal?"
"Oh my god, the Duke killed the third prince? This, how is this possible..."
The common people discussed it one after another, some raised doubts, some said it was impossible, some said that the Duke of the State was a beast with a human face, and some even mentioned "Secrets of the Neighborhood"...
"The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. He assisted the Duke of the country to kill the royal family. Why can't he be wanted?" Same reward.
Even if you catch a follower of Marquis Jia En, that would be 1000 taels of silver, enough for small families like them to enjoy a lifetime of happiness.The soldiers were full of ambition, and they had a great chance of defending the city to catch these fleeing people, so they all seized this opportunity to make a fortune and took note of these portraits.Tang Tianli immediately asked someone to open the city gate, and asked these people to line up in an orderly manner, and they could only enter and exit the city gate after being inspected one by one.
Dou Cong rolled his eyes and looked at Jia Amnesty, "This guy can turn black and white, how dare he call you a wanted criminal?"
"Go back and talk." Jia Amnesty put down the money and led Dou Cong away.
Back at the restaurant, Gui Sanwai asked about Jia Amnesty's situation.
Dou Cong said: "Each of you is worth 1000 taels of silver, but your master is very powerful, and a reward of 5 taels of gold is offered."
"5 taels, so much?" Zhu Mao opened his mouth wide. In comparison, he was really cheap.
"No disguise, don't go out in the future." Du Chunxiao walked over and told everyone with a solemn face.
Soon everyone broke up, and Du Chunxiao assured Jia She that there are very reliable people in this restaurant and they will not betray anyone.
Jia Amnesty nodded, of course he could trust Song Xi's people.
"You still want to leave Beijing?" Du Chun asked with a smile.
"Yes." Jia She looked at Du Chun and smiled, "Leave tomorrow."
Du Chun smiled and nodded, "If that's the case, I won't force you to stay."
When Jia Amnesty saw Du Chunxiao leave, he immediately ordered Zhu Mao to repaint him with black ointment, prepared some scattered silver and some bank notes on him, and called Dou Cong again.
Dou Cong heard that Jia Amnesty would leave immediately, and was a little surprised how he made a decision so quickly. "Just the two of us, you just take me?"
"Why, dare not leave?" Jia She asked.
Dou Cong patted his chest and stared wide-eyed, "Naturally, I'm happy just thinking about it. What I want to do the most is to wander the rivers and lakes alone."
Zhu Mao: "Master, what about us?"
"There are so many people, so there are many goals, and there are many dangers of exposure. You stay here temporarily, just to help me cover up, hold Du Chunxiao temporarily, and try to delay the time for him to know that I am leaving. After I leave, you will wait here safely. News, don't make mistakes, and don't go around, he won't hurt you, just wait, the day will come when the clouds will clear and the moon will shine." Jia She instructed.
Zhu Mao nodded, reassuring Jia Amnesty that they would abide by the master's orders and keep themselves safe.
"There is a problem with the Liuzhou sub-helm. If you are in a hurry after I leave, you can check it out. Remember that if the person who goes out to investigate has a face, those portraits don't show it."
Zhu Mao didn't understand why his master said that there was a problem with the Liuzhou branch of the news network, "Where do we start to investigate?"
"Since I arrived in Liuzhou, it's okay if nothing happened in the capital, but now, according to what Du Chunxiao said, the situation in the capital is changing rapidly. It can be seen that there are a lot of news that can be spread, but now we have not received any news. It's really suspicious. Don't say that if someone sets up a card on the official road, the news can't be passed on. The word "passing the news" won't be written on the face. It can be reached by pretending to be disguised or taking a detour. It's not difficult, but I'm afraid of receiving it. The person who got the news became malicious." Jia She said.
Zhu Mao suddenly realized and slapped his legs, "I said I didn't think it was right, it turned out to be like this. Don't worry, master, I know how to measure, and I will do what I can with ghosts, and find out the spies as soon as possible and deal with them cleanly."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and gave instructions to the outside world, raising his voice slightly, saying that he should take a rest.Zhu Mao immediately agreed and left with the people.
Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong then went to wait in Room [-] of the restaurant.
Not long after, the clerk of the restaurant called two father and son wearing straw hats into the house.
After the father and son entered the room, they saw two bowls of tea and several plates of snacks on the table. "I didn't expect there to be such a good thing, eating and sleeping for free." The father and son happily ate and drank tea, and then lay down on the bed with a snack plate.Not long after, the two fell asleep on the couch.
Jia Amnesty pulled Dou Cong out of the closet, took off the coats of the father and son, and put the new clothes in the closet beside them, leaving ten taels of silver on the clothes.
Jia Amnesty and Dou Cong changed their clothes, put on their straw hats, went downstairs, and left with their heads bowed.
At noon, when the restaurant is busy, the waiter in the shop is so busy that he does not touch the ground.Behind the counter, there is a waiter who specializes in watching people. Looking at the clothes and backs, it is the customers who came in not long ago, so he didn't think anything, and let them go.At this time, Gui San approached with a smile, and discussed with the waiter about going out for a walk, but was rejected, and was pushed directly to the backyard.
"What are you going to do? Don't go. If you go out with your appearance, you will cause trouble. Stay in the backyard obediently. The guests in the restaurant are talking about wanted things today, so don't be recognized."
Du Chunxiao came out of the kitchen, and said yes, "I don't think you can stay in such a noisy place, I will arrange another place for you tonight."
After finishing speaking, Du Chunxiao asked Ghost San Jiashe where he was again.
Gui San pouted in the direction of Yajian, "I stayed up late yesterday, and I was sleepy after eating, so I fell asleep."
Du Chun smiled and nodded, then turned and went back to his room.
After Jia Amnesty took Dou Cong out of the restaurant, he went straight to the city gate.
There is still a long queue at the gate of the city, but it is noon now, and there are fewer people.Before it was time for the guards to change their guards, they were already hungry, smelling the scent of lunch wafting from the shops and homes in the city, they were a little distracted, and only wanted to eat.In addition, the sun is bright at noon today, and it is still a little hot, which makes people feel lazy and sleepy.
When it was Jia She's turn, Jia She reported his self-made name and the purpose of leaving the city, and it was quickly passed.The two left the city, and after walking for a while, Jia She bought two horses of average quality from others at four times the price. He untied the reins, got off the saddle, and slapped the horse away.The saddle and bridle were thrown into the shade.Jia Amnesty took Dou Cong into the county town on foot and stayed in an inn.
"Aren't you in a hurry to go to Beijing? Why did you lose your horse and stop after walking two steps?" Dou Cong asked.
"This is the only way to go to the capital, let's take a look at the scenery first." After Jia She said, he asked Dou Cong to watch the wind by the window and lie down for a while.
After half an hour, Dou Cong became impatient and yawned.
Jia Amnesty came to replace him.
At dusk, Jia Amnesty heard the sound of many horseshoes. Fang raised his head, looked away from the booklet, and opened the window. He saw Du Chunxiao and a group of people passing by on horseback.Not long after that, I saw Ma Tianmo also riding a horse and leading some people there.Less than half an hour later, a lieutenant next to Tang Tianli led nearly a hundred soldiers passing by on horseback.
Dou Cong just woke up, and was startled when he saw the scene through the window.
"They can't catch us." Jia Amnesty's steady voice immediately calmed Dou Cong's emotions.
Dou Cong: "This is?"
"The third dial." Jia She said.
Dou Cong observed that Jia She's mood was wrong, and he knew that it might be related to Song Xi, and now it was naturally related to Du Chunxiao.Immediately thinking that he was running away without telling Du Chunxiao, Dou Cong shivered violently.
"They're all in the same group?"
