"Aren't you Xuezheng?" Jiang Jinshu asked suspiciously, and then said: "I was supposed to attend the poetry meeting last night, but in the end Mr. Zhang Lao replaced Mr. I heard from my husband that Mr. A letter from Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is your husband’s husband, and his character is very respected. Since Mr. Zhang can help you with just a letter, I don’t believe in Mr. Zhang, but I believe in Mr. Zhang.”

To put it bluntly, what Jiang Jinshu meant was not to look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha.

Ji Wenyang couldn't help laughing, the reasons made people laugh, but it was also human, but Jiang Jinshu's behavior was more courageous.

In the past, he would definitely have checked Jiang Jinshu, but now...

In short, the situation is already like this, let's give it a go.

Half an hour later, the two guards came back and indeed bought two carts of goods.Jiang Jinshu dressed up the two of them again, made their complexions darker and darker, and wore half-worn bamboo hats with wide brims, and each drove a cart loaded with goods, acting as a driver.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and Ji Wenyang was so anxious that he would leave now without further delay.

"Wait, sir." Jiang Jinshu called to stop him, "I'll follow you out of the city in a car, and when I get outside the city, I'll lend you the carriage, and you leave these goods to me to handle."

Ji Wenyang's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded: "Then please trouble Mrs. Gu."

Those things are only used to cover up their identities, and they are unnecessary when they get out of the city. They are cumbersome and thrown away at will, which arouses suspicion and will be discovered by Yuan Sheng soon.Now Jiang Jinshu's proposal solves this problem, and in terms of traveling, the carriage is naturally faster than the legs, after all, it is more troublesome to buy a carriage after leaving the city.

Only then did Jiang Jinshu explain to Uncle Xu: "This is an old friend of Mr. Si Ye's in Beijing, and some enemies are watching him. Now that we have met, let's help."

When the essay meeting started, Uncle Xu was looking at the carriage, but he didn't see Ji Wenyang, and Ji Wenyang didn't appear at the poetry meeting last night, so Uncle Xu didn't know Ji Wenyang's identity.Although he couldn't see through his identity, he could tell from his demeanor and demeanor that he was an extraordinary person. Even after hearing Jiang Jinshu's words at this time, the guard in his heart still did not disappear.

Uncle Xu only thought that Jiang Jinshu was kind-hearted, and he only helped because of Gu Ting's old friend, so he didn't say anything.

There were quite a few people leaving the city at noon, most of them were the surrounding people.

Ji Wenyang lined up, trying not to look at Yuan Sheng's people, and when he got out of the city gate smoothly, he didn't dare to stop for half a step, instead he was faster.

Jiang Jinshu followed behind.

Her purpose was to take advantage of Ji Wenyang's trip to get away, so naturally she couldn't let the exit of the city be affected, so she briefly influenced the yamen servants at the city gate just now.

According to the prior agreement, Jiang Jinshu followed Ji Wenyang and the others for a certain distance to the intersection three miles away.That intersection is a fork, and there is a tea shed on the side of the road, where people often rest.

In Jiang Jinshu's "line of sight", it was natural to see someone Yuan Sheng arranged for in the tea shed.

It has to be said that Yuan Sheng is indeed shrewd and experienced. It seems that the siege of Yongyang Mansion has been sealed, and he still does not relax. He even ambushed people on the four roads out of the city gate, just in case.On the other hand, it reflects the importance of Ji Wenyang, or Ji Wenyang is carrying something important, which is likely to have a devastating blow to Lord Yuan Sheng.It's not that Yuan Sheng didn't dare to kill Ji Wenyang directly, but he was worried that Ji Wenyang would secretly hide Chen Cang, so he had to make sure he got the things first.

Ji Wenyang didn't know anything about it. Although his mood was still tense, his brows relaxed a lot because he left the city gate.

"Take a break." Ji Wenyang greeted the two people pulling the cart.

The two people put the cart next to the tea shed, chose a nearby table, and ordered three bowls of tea.

Uncle Xu followed closely behind.

When approaching the tea shed, she whispered to Uncle Xu: "Don't stop, call that gentleman over."

When Uncle Xu heard that her voice was wrong, he knew something was wrong.

"Whose car is this? Move it." Uncle Xu yelled, with an impatient look on his face, as if he was deliberately finding fault.

Ji Wenyang was taken aback for a moment, then thought of it.

After coming over, he heard Jiang Jinshu say, "Hurry up and get in the car, sir, there is something wrong with someone in the tea shed."

Ji Wenyang didn't have time to think about it, the tables and chairs in the tea shed were overturned, and the two guards who followed shouted: "My lord, go!"

Ji Wenyang was not one to hesitate, and got into the carriage immediately.

Uncle Xu had already whipped his whip when he was in a mess there, the carriage jolted and ran fast.

Ji Wenyang fell down in the car, he didn't care about other things, his face was very ugly: "How could it be... Yuan Sheng, it's him! Sure enough, he is cunning and shrewd, and he doesn't relax when he leaves the city."

Jiang Jinshu's eyes turned slightly, and she asked, "I wonder if sir, can you tell me who Yuan Sheng belongs to?"

Ji Wenyang looked at her with sharp eyes.

Jiang Jinshu smiled faintly: "I helped you once, and I didn't ask for anything in return. After all, I didn't do it for you. It's just that I offended people. My husband is going to study for the imperial examination in the future. He was targeted by others, but he didn't know Who is it, how can you rest in peace."

It's also common sense.

Ji Wenyang withdrew his gaze, feeling a little guilty: "I've hurt Miss Gu. This matter hasn't been made public yet, and I'm acting according to orders, so it's not easy to explain it to Miss Gu. But don't worry, Miss Gu, as long as I can return to Beijing smoothly, everything will fall into the dust. Sure. Taking a step back, Mr. Gu has a mentor to guide him, so nothing will happen."

The implication is that if Ji Wenyang doesn't say anything, Zhangtai will also tell Gu Ting to take precautions.

It seems that the person behind Yuan Sheng is extraordinary.

No matter what, in the end, if you make a good relationship this time, it will always be rewarded to Gu Ting.

"How do you plan to go back to Beijing, sir?" Jiang Jinshu asked. After all, it is impossible to rely on a carriage all the time. If Yuan Sheng and others really want to chase after him, riding a horse is faster.

"Take me to the ferry ahead." Ji Wenyang had already made preparations for returning to Beijing.

Although he was separated from the two guards now, Ji Wenyang did not panic.Ji Wenyang planned to leave Yongyang by boat first, and then go overland, leaving marks along the way, and the guards would follow.

Probably because of the delay of the two guards, Ji Wenyang boarded the boat smoothly.

After seeing off Ji Wenyang, Uncle Xu said anxiously, "Lady, let's go too."

In his heart, Uncle Xu disapproved of her being involved in such an important court event, and thought she was doing it for Gu Ting's future official career, so it was hard to persuade her.

Jiang Jinshu didn't explain.

The two were about to return, but as soon as the carriage left the ferry, Uncle Xu felt the carriage jolt violently, and he fell off the shaft uncontrollably. He didn't see anything, but felt a pain in the back of his head, and passed out.The carriage didn't stop, the horse ran wildly as if frightened, the whole carriage swayed here and there, and ran away in a short while.

It's not far from the ferry, and there are villages nearby. It happened that some nearby people passed by and found Uncle Xu who was unconscious.

At this moment, Jiang Jinshu was hiding in the dark, watching Uncle Xu being rescued, she felt relieved.

The comatose Uncle Xu thought that Yuan Sheng and others were chasing him, but in fact, it was Jiang Jinshu who knocked Uncle Xu unconscious.

Next, it's her role.

When Uncle Xu woke up, the sky was full of sunshine.

When he remembered what happened before he fell into a coma, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked the person who saved him: "Did you see our girl when you rescued me? She is still in the carriage, where is the carriage?"

"You mean that crazy carriage? I saw you fall off when I ran away. I don't know anything else."

"Which direction did you go?" Uncle Xu was sweating profusely.

The family didn't know anything about it.

Uncle Xu thanked the other party for his help and didn't dare to delay, so he hurried out to inquire.

Fortunately, the carriage was a big item, so it was easy to find, but when we found it, the horse was gone, and only the carriage fell to the ground.The car fell into a ditch next to the road. There was no one in it, and no blood was seen.Uncle Xu could only take a chance and search again.

At this time, a woman said, "Is the girl you are looking for wearing a purple dress and a white dress?"

"Exactly! It's my girl!"

The woman's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Uncle Xu with sympathy: "I was washing clothes by the river today, and I saw two people chasing a girl, and the girl shouted 'help', probably because she was being chased in a hurry. I fell into the river. The two ran away. I called for help, but the river is so wide that every year several people drown, and the girl didn’t come up after falling.”

Uncle Xu's face turned pale, he couldn't believe it.

The woman said again: "I got an embroidered shoe from the water, and it's right there. I plan to report it to the official tomorrow."

Uncle Xu went to look for Li Zheng again, but Uncle Xu didn't know if the embroidered shoes belonged to Jiang Jinshu, so he had to ask Aunt Xu Liu Ye'er to identify them.

Now rush back to the city.

At this time, Gu Ting had already returned, and when he learned that Jiang Jinshu hadn't come back after leaving the house, he wandered around anxiously, and even sent Chang Le out to look at it several times.

Uncle Xu came back by borrowing a car, and his expression was very bad. When he saw Gu Ting and the others, he didn't know what to say.

Aunt Xu came up to meet him, seeing that he looked wrong and that the carriage was missing, she became suspicious: "Old Xu, where is the lady? Why are you alone? Where have you been?"

Uncle Xu opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Girl, something happened to the girl."

When Aunt Xu, Liu Ye'er, confirmed that the embroidered shoe really belonged to Jiang Jinshu, and repeatedly asked someone to confirm that Jiang Jinshu had indeed fallen into the river, everyone panicked and lost their minds.

"It just fell into the water, maybe someone saved it." Only Gu Ting looked calm, abnormally calm.

Gu Ting went to Zhang's house to ask for leave, and explained the reason.

Zhang Tai didn't say anything, but borrowed someone else's hand, and asked Zhang Ming to accompany him to find someone.

The big river outside Yongyang Mansion is called Baishui River, and the water transportation is prosperous. Many large cargo ships going from north to south also go here, so the water is very deep.There are always accidental drownings every year, or throwing corpses into the river, but in these cases, it is difficult to fish the corpses up.

Starting from where Jiang Jinshu fell into the water, Gu Ting searched all the way downstream, and spent money to hire a dozen or so villagers with excellent water skills.It took seven or eight days, and only the hairpin on Jiang Jinshu's head was recovered. Although no one was found, everyone, including Zhang Ming, Aunt Xu Liu Ye'er and others, thought Jiang Jinshu was dead.

"Uncle Gu, this is the end of the matter, I'm sorry." Zhang Ming called him Uncle Gu according to his seniority.Seeing that he spends day and night by the river, spending two or three hundred taels of money just for hiring people, I have no choice but to persuade him.

Gu Ting also took a deep breath. At this moment, the last sliver of luck was broken. He immediately squatted down by the river, and burst into tears: "Jin Shu..."

Zhang Ming's eyes widened.

Zhang Ming has never seen such a person, he is still a scholar, in the past, Gu Ting was as gentle and elegant as jade in his eyes, but now he is crying like a child.Many people were watching, even if it wasn't him, Zhang Ming felt embarrassment on his face.

Immediately ignoring other things, he forcibly supported Gu Ting and went back to the city.

Jiang Jinshu, who was already "dead", had been watching in the dark. Seeing Gu Ting's childish look, she not only laughed, but also felt a little emotional.In fact, Uncle Xu was probably the most sorry for arranging this deadlock. Uncle Xu was the one who accompanied her when she went out. In the end...it was inevitable that she would feel guilty for it.

If it was not a last resort, Jiang Jinshu would not be willing to do so.

At home in the city, Gu Mengcheng brought Mrs. Gao over in person.

Seeing Gu Ting returning back from sleepiness, Gu Mengcheng sighed, thanked Zhang Ming, and took Gu Ting back to rest.Gu Ting hadn't had a good rest these days, and cried all the way, once the backlog of emotions was vented, he fell asleep next to the bed.

Mrs. Gao ordered Liu Ye'er to make soup, and sighed privately: "Although Sibao's mind is good, after all, he has experienced few things and his mind is pure. Although Ting's daughter-in-law came to Gu's house for a short time, she accompanied Sibao from ignorance. Come here, it's inevitable that the feelings are not normal, and I don't know how long it will take to get over it. It's all right, why did this happen."

The Gu family did not know the inside story of Jiang Jinshu's accident.

Zhang Tai specially reminded Gu Ting of this.

Normally, Gu Ting would have thought of it, but something happened to Jiang Jinshu, and his mind was in a mess.After receiving Zhang Tai's instructions, Gu Ting confessed to Uncle Xu, so to Gu's family and others, he said that Jiang Jinshu went out of the city to offer incense, but when he met the robbers, Uncle Xu was knocked unconscious first, and Jiang Jinshu was chased to the riverside, there was no way to avoid it Just fell into the river.

After the accident, two days later, Aunt Xu remembered to deliver a letter to the Xu family in the town.

When Gu Mengcheng got the news, he was afraid that Mrs. Gu would be irritated, so he kept it from him for the time being, and personally took Gao to deal with it.Seeing that Gu Ting searched day after day without giving up, he knew he couldn't be persuaded, and besides, they were also looking forward to it, until now...

"It's about the daughter-in-law of the court..." Gao Shi regretted that such a young and tender person was gone, his eyes were red, and he asked: "It's been half a month, I'm afraid that the person is really gone, and I can't let the four Bao continued to make trouble. Although no one was found, a tomb had to be erected, and people had to be buried in peace, otherwise they would not be lonely ghosts? If so, a funeral would have to be held, and the relatives would be notified, even the old grandma couldn't hide it. "

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Then, the Jiang family..." It stands to reason that the two families have cut off contact, but life and death are important matters. If they don't report the funeral, they are afraid of being gossiped.

The Gao family did not know about the fact that the Jiang family had taken the initiative to repair the relationship between the two families.

The next day, the Gu family locked the yard and went back to town.

Gu Ting and others went back together, this time to attend the funeral.

Seeing that the matter here was settled, Jiang Jinshu followed Ji Wenyang to the capital.
