History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 124
"No, no, no!" The third master shook his head like a rattle, and then said to the fourth master with a face of embarrassment, "Fourth, it's not that I don't help, but that Thirteen really made a big mistake. There is no way Khan Amma will ever forgive."
The fourth master has always had some doubts in his heart. Last year, the thirteenth person in the Mulan paddock revealed a little news to him. Later, not long after the crown prince was deposed, when he returned to Beijing, Khan Ama didn't know what he found out, so he sent thirteenth to him. The eldest brother was locked up together. Although he knew what Shisan must have done, he didn't know what role Shisan played in that incident, which made Khan Ama furious.
The third child knew a little bit about the situation, he sighed, and seeing that the fourth child was still unwilling to give up, he pointed out, "Before the crown prince was abolished, it was the elder brother's action. Thirteenth, he knew that the elder brother joined hands with the Mongolian lama, but he didn't report it. Khan Ama How can you not be angry when you find out." Although it is said that the alchemist is hidden in the First Prince's Mansion, whoever knows the inside story does not know that the one found is a lama, and it is only because of the Mongolian side that they did not tell the truth.
Comparing the two sons who fought, it was obvious that the one who didn't report was the most hateful one. No matter what he had in mind, it was definitely not good intentions. The emperor was taking his anger out on Thirteen.
Only then did Fourth Master understand why Shisan didn't do anything, but Han Ama didn't like him.
The prince was abolished and re-established, and the eldest brother was imprisoned. In Khan Ama's view, these things could have been avoided, but Thirteen kept these things a secret. No wonder Khan Ama was angry and locked him up.
Thinking of Shisan's calm face before, it is obvious that he himself knows why Khan Ama sent someone to guard him.
"Fourth, if you want to save someone, it's not too late. Wait for another year, and when Ama Khan calms down, I'll find someone to intercede for Shisan." The third master let go, not letting go. No way, the fourth child offered a temptation that he couldn't resist in exchange for this favor.
The third master also had those thoughts about the throne. He originally thought that the prince would have nothing to do with him after he was reinstated, but who would have thought that after the abolition of the prince, not only did he not restrain his temper, but he became more and more weird, and he also acted recklessly. Let's see who It's like looking at the enemy, and Khan Ama can't even look at it and reprimand him several times.
After coming down a few times, the small thoughts in the third master's heart moved again, but now more than half of the court is standing on Lao Ba's side, even if he has that kind of heart, he is powerless.
This time, in order to save Shisan, the fourth brother was willing to exchange all the newspapers established in the south of the Yangtze River with him. With these newspapers, he could expand his influence among literati. Let the third master be moved?
Very smoothly, the two made an agreement.
Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, has not been peaceful recently. Several escort agencies have been sealed by the court. Residents around a Weiyuan escort agency got the news and pointed at the sealed escort agency, "There are rebels hiding here. , but I really can’t see it.”
"I heard it's that demon from the White Lotus Sect."
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful that people from the White Lotus Sect are watching us! They can't do anything about the imperial court, so can they do nothing about us petty people?"
Many people were frightened to silence when they heard this.
In a teahouse less than [-] meters away from Weiyuan Escort Bureau, there were people on the second floor drinking tea while watching. There were five people in total, three men and one woman.
Among the three men, there is a young man, a burly man, and a young man.The woman is a beautiful woman, her long hair is tied into a bun, and she is dressed as a woman.
That burly man was holding the teacup in one hand, his eyes were fixed on the bottom, and he could tell that he was enduring his anger.
The young man among the three men seemed quite calm, as if he was not affected by the following things at all.
The young man among the four seemed a little uncomfortable. He buried his head on the table, beat his head with his little hands and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault for implicating Uncle Tie and the others, otherwise they wouldn't have been arrested."
As soon as the boy opened his mouth, the woman next to him grabbed his arm to prevent him from harming himself, and comforted him, "How can you blame Xiaoyan for this matter? Your identity has not been revealed at all, and those court hawks and dogs are chasing innocent people."
But Xiaoyan was immersed in self-blame, and didn't hear the woman's words clearly, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Uncle Tie saved me, and he was also implicated by me. If it wasn't for me, Uncle Tie's family would not have been caught."
Seeing that persuading him was useless, the woman looked at the young man. The young man put down his cup and said, "Wang Yan, you are the last blood of Mr. Wang, and the Tie family should do their best to keep you."
Xiaoyan looked dazed, his surname was Wang, his real name was Wang Yan, his grandfather was Wang Shiyuan who was impersonated as the Third Prince Zhu and executed by the court the year before last.
Everyone knows that when Wang Shiyuan fled to Shandong with his eldest son, his family members were left in the south of the Yangtze River. When the court searched his home, Wang Shiyuan's remaining sons hanged himself, and Wang Yan was sent out of the house the day before. His own grandson impersonated him.
After that, Wang Yan fled around, and was finally taken in by Tie Xingtian, who was running a dart in the countryside, and it didn't take long for Wang Yan's identity to be revealed.
But Tie Xingtian has another identity, he is the head of the Red Flower Society in private, he found out the identity of Wang Yan, he was overjoyed and quickly reported it.
After all, this person is a genuine descendant of the Zhu family. Except for the one who is tightly hidden among the people, perhaps this is the only bloodline, and Honghuahui will naturally pay close attention to it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man was fished out, the imperial court found out a hall of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau belonging to the Red Flower Society, and directly sent people to suppress this hall.
The city was also put on alert, so they couldn't leave the city for the time being. Thinking that the most dangerous place was the safest place, they went to the teahouse opposite the escort agency to check the situation.
Wang Yan saw the Tie family being arrested with his own eyes. Uncle Tie who was very kind to him, Brother Xiaosong who looked fierce but was actually very kind to him, and Sanwa who had fought with him were all arrested. When he woke up, Wang Yan only thought that he was dragging it down, how could he bear it at such a young age?
"But Uncle Tie has been arrested, haven't you heard what the people below said? He will be executed in autumn!"
Wang Yan was so frightened that tears flowed down his face. He was just a 13-year-old child. He had been wandering around for the past two years and was often frightened. Before he was homeless, he was just a child at home, and his daily troubles were just not doing his homework. over.
In the past two years, he had lived a frightening life, and he had only grown up a bit, but in fact the child was still just a child. Seeing so many people being implicated by him and rushing to their deaths, Wang Yan couldn't take it anymore.
The young man gave the woman a wink, and the woman hugged Wang Yan's head, comforting him with gentle words, "Fool, aren't we still here? We will definitely not let your Uncle Tie die in vain."
Wang Yan raised his head, his eyes lit up frighteningly, "Are you going to save Uncle Tie?"
The burly man at the side slammed the cup on the table impatiently, and then said, "What are you doing, the old iron has made contributions anyway, how could we just watch him being killed by the dog court."
Speaking of this, the burly man stood up and walked around the narrow tea room, and said, "Isn't the emperor not in the capital now? Let's go to the palace and cut off the dog's head of the Tartar emperor!"
The young man frowned and scolded, "Daniu, sit down!"
Da Niu sat back to his original position angrily, and then couldn't hold back his temper and continued, "Young Steward, I really can't help it, Lao Niu, why don't you just do it openly and hide like a mouse like this?" Hiding it, it's so fucking annoying!"
The young man moved his ears and found that there was no movement outside, then lowered his voice and said to Daniel, "I told you to shut up, be careful that the walls have ears!" Now the city is on alert, and everyone knows that the city has been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. People, carefully misinterpreted their words on purpose, and were arrested as members of the White Lotus Cult.
People from the Red Flower Society were arrested as members of the White Lotus Sect, that would be a big joke.
Fortunately, when they were traveling this time, the White Lotus Sect was making trouble in Chengzhong, so they were able to escape in time.
I just hope that the people from the Mighty Escort can grit their teeth and hold on, and directly pour dirty water on Bailianjiao.
Xiaoyan lowered his head dejectedly.
The young man said to everyone, "Okay, all of you are quiet now, and we will visit the Yamen at night."
Xiaoyan raised his head abruptly, his eyes were shining brightly, is he going to rescue someone?
The woman hurriedly said, "No, Brother Chen, those dog officers, who are arresting people in such a large manner, obviously prepared a net to rescue them. If we go, we may fall into the trap ourselves."
The light in Xiaoyan's eyes went out. Although he really wanted to save Uncle Tie and the others, he didn't want to sacrifice others.
The young man confidently picked up the paper fan and spread it out, "It's okay, you're just looking out for the situation, you don't need to go, with my skill, it's not that easy to be discovered."
"Young helmsman, why don't you go with the old cow?"
The young man held up his hand, "No need, if I miss, you can take A Ling and Wang Yan and leave overnight. Remember to go to the south of the city and find an abandoned yard. Abandoned well, the abandoned well can lead directly to the outside of the city." The secret passage dug by the abandoned well is the backhand of the Red Flower Society, in order to keep this secret, people have been pretending to be ghosts in that yard over the years, so that no one dares to approach.Up to now, that courtyard has become a well-known ghost courtyard in the city.
Telling this secret, the young man has made up his mind to go alone.
After hearing this, Daniel and A Ling knew that the young rudder master had made up his mind, and it wasn't something they could change with just a few words.
There is a strict hierarchy in the Red Flower Club, and the sub-ruler's young rudder master gave orders, and they could only obey. Lao Niu and A Ling looked at each other and made up their minds.
The young man thought that it was agreed that the two would follow through, but he never expected that there were other things on their minds.
At night, the young man was wiping his sword in the inn where he was staying, waiting for the rehabilitators outside. When the third watch came, he put on his night clothes, opened the window silently, and slid down the tree beside the window.
Carefully avoiding watchmen and patrolling people along the way, he came to the mansion, the lights in the mansion had been turned off, and it looked very quiet.
But the young man keenly sensed the danger, he retreated quietly, to the roof of the house opposite the government office.
The moonlight was very good today, and people patrolling the street could be vaguely seen. The yamen was quiet, but at this moment, a group of five or six people silently climbed over the wall and jumped into the yamen.
All the young people who were on the opposite side of the government office could see it clearly. He watched the movement inside seriously. It didn't take long for the lights in the office to light up one after another, and there was the sound of weapons being handed over.
The young man frowned. Sure enough, a net had been laid in the yamen. Fortunately, someone was already scouting the way ahead, otherwise he would not be able to escape if he entered.
Not long after, the noise inside stopped, and the halls and other offices in the government office went out one after another, and then returned to a quiet state.
Thinking that this time he was going to return in vain, the young man was about to leave, and just jumped off the roof when he happened to see the condensed light of the knife shining in the moonlight.
Almost reflexively, he withdrew the sword backhand and held it against it.
After several rounds of confrontation with the man, the sound of the sword blare obviously alarmed the patrolling people, the young man looked at the man, who was also dressed in black, apparently also a person who took the opportunity to travel at night, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you? Why attack me?"
The man lowered his voice, "Who are you? How dare you block my aunt's way?"
The young man was stunned, because the voice made by this person was obviously a woman's voice. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching not far away, the two of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. They let go of each other and fled in two directions.
On the second day, the security in the city was even stricter. When I was having breakfast in the morning, I heard the customers in the inn talking quietly. All the conversations were about the situation last night. Obviously, the news of the burglars in the government had spread last night, too, There was such a big commotion yesterday, how could no one hear it?
If the young man ate with four people, Daniel looked at the young man and wanted to ask something, but he still didn't say anything in the end, depending on the surrounding environment.
Just after breakfast, they went to the young man's house together.
Xiao Ling stood in front of the door to observe the situation outside, while Daniu couldn't wait to ask the young man, "Young...Young Master, didn't anything happen last night?" I thought the elder brother didn't go out last night.
Seeing that the young helmsman had breakfast as usual, if it wasn't for the discussion yesterday, Daniel really thought he hadn't gone out.
Originally, both of them had already made a plan. If the young helmsman was really caught, they would leave overnight, send Wang Yan to the nearest sub-helm, and then contact some brothers to rescue the young helmsman.
Seeing that the young helmsman was safe and sound now, the two were relieved.
The young man frowned deeply and said, "There was an accident last night, and someone also talked about the government office at night."
Daniel asked nervously, "Who is it? Could it be the other brothers in the club?"
The young man shook his head, "I don't know, these people were arrested by the government, and the news hasn't come out yet, but I suspect it's the members of the White Lotus Sect." If the brothers in the association would definitely send a message, there was no message this time Just act, it doesn't look like the style of the club at first glance.
Daniel relaxes, as long as he is not a brother in the club, what does he care about them?
"Young helmsman, what should we do next?"
The young man has also seen that the government is definitely not that easy to break into, and the woman who fought against him yesterday is also a question, whether this woman is an enemy or a friend.
The young man felt that he had fallen into a miasma, and everything in this city seemed so mysterious.
He can be sure that the Weiyuan Escort was not arrested because Wang Yan's identity was leaked.Tie Xingtian also joined the Red Flower Club in the entire Weiyuan Escort Bureau. However, he was only an outsider, and at most he only helped to collect some information. Few people knew his identity, but they didn't know how the court discovered his identity.
The young man felt that the situation here was unusual, so he had the idea of retreating.
It's better to transfer Wang Yan to a safe place, and send a few more people to investigate later. It is necessary to find out how the government got the news of the Red Flower Society accurately.
"Leave first." The young man said to Daniel.
Daniel glanced at Wang Yan next to him, and then said to the young man, "Young Rudder Master, are the Tie family dead?"
Wang Yan looked expectant.
The young man squeezed his fingers and said in a deep voice, "Let's take this matter for a while. Even if the Tie family is sentenced to beheaded, they will be transported to the capital first. There are still two months left. Let's leave here and transfer Wang Yan to the main helm. I was struggling with some brothers intercepting people in the middle of the road."
Wang Yan was very disappointed when he heard that, but he can't make decisions, he can only follow other people's arrangements.
Daniel smiled, "Alright, the Cao Gang also has a group of righteous men who support our Red Flower Society, and we can use the Cao Gang to rescue people at that time."
After discussing the decision, several people withdrew from the city smoothly. As soon as they left the city, the inn they used to live in was surrounded by people from the government. A large group of yamen servants rushed into the inn like wolves. The innkeeper was arrested.
"...Where did these people go?"
A yamen servant showed a few blueprints to the shopkeeper. After seeing the faces on the blueprints, the shopkeeper secretly called out bad luck, and then cried like dead parents, "Master Qingtian, these people have already checked out, really. It's nothing small!"
As soon as he heard about the check-out, the yamen servant raised his knife and asked the shopkeeper, "Where did that man go?"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost lost control, and shook his head, "I don't know, I usually just settle accounts behind the counter, how do I know where the customers go after they leave?"
The yamen servant looked fiercely at the waiter and other guests in the inn, "Does any of you know?"
The guests shook their heads one after another, but there was an errand waiter with a strange expression on his face. After seeing it, the yamen servant arrested him, "Do you know something?"
The shop waiter shook his body and soon a smell of urine appeared, the shop waiter was so scared that he peed his pants, he said with a mournful face, "Back, back to the master, the little one was helping an objective to get a carriage, and I happened to see those guests go Nancheng."
Nancheng?
The yamen servants glanced at each other and got a clue, turned around and threw the waiter on the ground, and a group of people cheered and left the inn with a wave of their hands.
After arriving in Nancheng, they asked again, and soon found out where the group of people had gone. When the yamen servants stood at the gate of the most famous ghost house in the city, a group of people were suddenly terrified.
"Could it be, could it be that those people are ghosts?" the youngest of the yamen servants called out.
The oldest one held the handle of the knife and patted him on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the ghosts come from in broad daylight? Alright, let's go in and have a look together, and we must catch those monsters." Finally got it There are many rewards for catching one of these monsters.
This is the news from the imperial court. Anyone who catches anti-Qing organizations, ordinary people have one tael of silver per person, middle-level people have ten taels, high-level names and surnames have a hundred taels, and if they are at the rudder level, they are worth a thousand taels. They won't be able to earn money for a lifetime.
And these rewards are not just for them, there are also those who have meritorious service in reporting by the people. Those people hid so tightly before, why they were discovered is not the credit of those three aunts and six women. That is well known, and any unusual behavior of any family can't escape their eyes.
After these women noticed something was wrong, they would quietly inform the government, and the government would check, and rewards would be given to those who were caught if the situation was true, and the identities of these women would never be revealed.
On the surface, it seems that the government arrested the man, but who knows, there are a group of women in the city who want money and want to be jealous, staring at everyone, there is something wrong, and they don’t know when Quietly informed the government.
During this period of time, the probability of solving crimes in the government has greatly increased. In the past, some headless cases have been solved, so that the incidence of homicides in the entire city has dropped sharply, and even petty theft has decreased a lot. Such an effect.The government is happy, and the rich in the city are also happy.
Moreover, none of the money was paid by the government. Although the money for rewards was first provided by the government, in fact, these prisoners would get the money when they were sent to the designated place.
The woman provided information, and it was one tael of silver to catch a person, but the government government captured the person and traded it, at least two taels of silver, and half of it was still earned.
It's just that you don't need to worry so much about this two-and-a-half two things. There are at least hundreds of thousands in the White Lotus Sect, and hundreds of people are worth hundreds of taels of silver. The yamen servants did not dislike it.
Although the haunted house in the city was often rumored to be haunted, it actually started more than ten years ago.
The old yamen servant has been working as an errand for 30 to [-] years. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business before, so he didn't take care of these ghost houses, but now, facing the money that is lavish, how can he let it go?
According to the news, those who slipped away today may be the top officials of the White Lotus Sect. If they get a reward of at least a hundred taels of silver, it will already be worth a hundred ordinary prisoners.
Looking at the disrepaired gate in front of him, the old yamen servant gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Go in, I don't believe there are ghosts inside!"
A group of yamen servants pushed open the door and went in. When they walked in, they found that the grass was luxuriant inside, and occasionally insects jumped over it. One of the yamen servants pushed the old yamen servant and pointed to the grass that had been trampled down in front of him and said, "Boss Wu, look!"
The old yamen servant walked over, bent down to look carefully, and then turned around and said, "It seems that this is the place, these are all new footprints, look at the broken grass roots, the juice is not dry yet." Looking at the direction of the footprints, I stretched out my hand, "Go, because I want to see whether there is really a ghost here, or someone is pretending to be a ghost!"
He searched for his footsteps, and finally stopped under a banyan tree, and his footsteps disappeared.
The young yamen servant turned pale, and said with a trembling voice, "That's right here. I heard that a woman who was insulted hanged herself here ten years ago, and then rumors of ghosts spread. The footsteps of these people disappeared here. It must be back to the underworld!"
The old yamen servant patted the head of the young yamen servant fiercely, "Fucking hell, look at the well under the tree, don't you see any footprints?"
The other yamen servants gathered around to have a look. The old yamen servant came to the well to understand, pointed to a yamen servant and said, "Go down the rope and take a look."
Without saying a word, the yamen servant climbed down the rope at the mouth of the well, and he reached the bottom of the well not long after.
Then he seemed to have discovered something and shouted upwards, "Boss Wu, a hole has been dug below!"
The old yamen servant asked, "How deep is the hole?"
"I can't see clearly. It's dark inside, and it looks very deep." Then the yamen servant moved his face to the entrance of the cave again, and said after a while, "There's a sound of wind."
The old yamen servant patted the mouth of the well and said, "It's right if there are rumors, come up!"
The others looked at the old yamen servant, "Boss Wu, why don't we go down and see where the passage leads to?"
The old yamen servant spat and said, "What do you look for? Who knows if there is an ambush over there." Anyway, he knew the opponent's whereabouts, so he couldn't catch him even if he wanted to catch him at this time, and he had already run away.
The yamen servant climbed up, and the old yamen servant looked at the well again and said, "Leave this well for now, and we will have to use this well to catch more people later." They dug out such a tunnel under their noses. Come on, it was not an honorable thing in the first place, if it was to be spread, the county government below would have to laugh it off.
This matter is no longer in the hands of the old yamen servant, so it can only be reported to the Futai Master to handle it.
After the young man left, he didn't know what happened later, and if he knew, he wouldn't have what happened later.
But these are all things to say later, after leaving that city, the young man brought the other three people to Shaoxing by boat.
The young man was born in Shaoxing and grew up in Shaoxing. When he was a teenager, he left home to study martial arts with a teacher. Later, he found out that his master was the sub-rudder leader of the Red Flower Society. Because of the young man's influence from childhood, he also regarded the anti-Qing cause as his own responsibility.
However, his father was an official of the imperial court. In order to hide his identity and not to burden his family, the young man only used his study tour as an excuse to stay away all year round and never revealed his identity.
This time, if he had no other choice, the young man would not bring people to Shaoxing, because the government along the way was very strict, and without a formal identity, he would not be able to reach the headquarter of the Red Flower Society safely.
On this day in the Chen residence, upon receiving the news that the young master had returned, the eldest lady of the Chen family, who was serving her parents-in-law at home, immediately came out to greet her.
"He'er, you're back? What did your master say this year? Is it time to end?" Mrs. Chen's wife is just an ordinary woman. Now that her husband is an official, she stays in the main house to serve her mother-in-law. That is to say, the eldest son is not yet married.
Even if he told him about his marriage, he refused because he had not established a career. The wife of the Chen family had no choice but to pray to his son's master to let him pass the exam as soon as possible and then go home to ask for a relative.
After Mrs. Chen's family finished asking, she finally found out that her son didn't come back alone, but brought three people with him.
She didn't care about the other person, but asked the woman behind her son, "Who is this one?" Looking at the woman combing her hair, she just didn't know what it had to do with her son?
Mrs. Chen's family has bad thoughts in her heart, could it be that her son is not enough to marry herself?
The young man hurriedly introduced, "Mother, this one is Da Niu, who was sent by my master to protect me. This one is Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao's husband-in-law went to the capital, and the master saw that I was on the way, so he asked me to take her." All the way." Then he pointed to Wang Yan and said, "This is Mrs. Yao's younger brother. Mother, I will stay at home for a few days, and then leave for Beijing to take the exam."
Mrs. Chen's family was elated when she heard that, "Your master finally agrees to let you go?"
The young man twitched his lips far-fetchedly, and said, "Mum, how many times have I told you that this matter has nothing to do with the master. I didn't sign up because I felt unsure."
The eldest lady of the Chen family didn't care, she felt that her son was good wherever he went, and he would definitely pass the exam. As long as he passed the exam, he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law. With a daughter-in-law, will the grandson be far behind?
When Mrs. Chen thought about it, she didn't even take the matter of her son bringing a stranger back to her heart, so she hurriedly asked the housekeeper to arrange it.
The young man smiled apologetically at the others, and told the three of them not to be polite at home, and followed the housekeeper to rest while he went to visit the ancestors.
The old ancestor of the Chen family is the grandmother of the young man, and this person is also of extraordinary status. She was originally the princess of the former dynasty, but the Qing court only followed the traces of the royal men from the former dynasty closely, and did not pay much attention to the women. .
In the Chen family, it can be said that only this old ancestor knows the true identity of the young man, and it was even arranged by this old ancestor that the young man was able to worship under his master's name back then.
"Have you received someone?" The old ancestor was enjoying the shoulders of the maid beside him, when he saw the grandson coming over and asked.
The young man said respectfully, "Yes."
In order to wave his hand, the old ancestor waved away the servant girl, and then sighed, "This is the only seedling of the fourth brother. He has been hiding for so many years, but it is a pity that he still did not escape in the end."
After sighing, the old ancestor said to the young man, "You take good care of that child, it is best to find an ordinary family to adopt him."
The young man showed a look of embarrassment, "Ancestor, there are many people who have seen Xiaoyan, and there may be no way to get over this matter."
The old ancestor snorted, "If it wasn't for the Red Flower Society who used the name of the third brother, the fourth brother would not have been exposed, and the whole family of this child would not have been wiped out, leaving him alone." Brother hid it well, she didn't believe it was exposed for no reason.
Although the old ancestor called Wang Shiyuan the fourth brother, in fact she has a very distant blood relationship with the Zhu family's royal family. When the Ming Dynasty collapsed, she was just an ignorant child. At the beginning, she used the flag to fight against the Qing court, but when she fled, she was separated from her parents, and she went to Shaoxing alone, where she met the old master of the Chen family.
The master of the Chen family recognized her identity from the only jade pendant on her body, and then brought her back to the Chen family to decide for his son to marry her.
Those who knew her identity over the years are all dead. The young ones, like her son, only thought that she was an orphan, and she was lucky enough to marry his father. It was because her son didn't know anything, so he could be a courtier.
However, later the ancestor's identity was recognized by people from the Red Flower Society, and the person who recognized her was the son of her father's bodyguard back then. Later, the ancestor simply hired this person to be his grandson's master.
Unlike these people who are still dreaming of fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor is just a woman who doesn't care about those great achievements, and has no good feelings for these people who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the name of the Zhu family.
What's more, after learning that these people had exposed Zhu Si, there was not even a single bit of goodwill left in the end, even in front of his grandson, he didn't show any good looks.
"Old ancestor..." the young man begged her to stop talking.
One is Shimen and the other is grandma, he is not pleasing to both ends.
The old ancestor took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know how many people are left in my Zhu family. I don't know if this ready-made child is the last bloodline. Even if I go all out, I will arrange for this child." Saying that, he put down his teacup and looked at the young man, "Jiahe, this kid is also your cousin, you should find a way to send him away."
Chen Jiahe finally lowered his head and said, "This time my grandson needs to go to Beijing, there may be accidents on the way, and my grandson will think of a way."
The old ancestor nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you to do it this time."
Chen Jiahe stayed in Shaoxing for a few days, using the influence of the Chen family to inspect the movement of the court, he was keenly aware of something wrong with the government, and seemed to be hiding some big secret.
All these sources point to the Rehe Palace, and it seems that the governments all over the country have received instructions from Rehe.
What kind of instructions came from the Jehol Palace and why all kinds of news did not come out? Not only Chen Jiahe felt puzzled, but even the Red Flower Society, Tiandi Society, White Lotus Sect, etc. were all uneasy, and sent a large number of people to investigate the imperial court. movement.
Even if a large number of people fall into the hands of the imperial court, it will not hesitate.
Chen Jiahe also received the news from the chief helm, and ordered him to send Wang Yan over quickly, and inquire about the court's movements by the way.
You must know that every denomination has placed people in the court, but this time the court has so easily skipped the people planted everywhere, and the news has been successfully conveyed to the governments of all places. How is this not scary?
Could it be that the imperial court already knew the identity of the person they placed?And no matter how close the news is, as long as people know it will always come out, why is it so unexpected this time?
With all kinds of doubts in his mind, Chen Jiahe set foot on the boat and headed north.
The fourth master has always had some doubts in his heart. Last year, the thirteenth person in the Mulan paddock revealed a little news to him. Later, not long after the crown prince was deposed, when he returned to Beijing, Khan Ama didn't know what he found out, so he sent thirteenth to him. The eldest brother was locked up together. Although he knew what Shisan must have done, he didn't know what role Shisan played in that incident, which made Khan Ama furious.
The third child knew a little bit about the situation, he sighed, and seeing that the fourth child was still unwilling to give up, he pointed out, "Before the crown prince was abolished, it was the elder brother's action. Thirteenth, he knew that the elder brother joined hands with the Mongolian lama, but he didn't report it. Khan Ama How can you not be angry when you find out." Although it is said that the alchemist is hidden in the First Prince's Mansion, whoever knows the inside story does not know that the one found is a lama, and it is only because of the Mongolian side that they did not tell the truth.
Comparing the two sons who fought, it was obvious that the one who didn't report was the most hateful one. No matter what he had in mind, it was definitely not good intentions. The emperor was taking his anger out on Thirteen.
Only then did Fourth Master understand why Shisan didn't do anything, but Han Ama didn't like him.
The prince was abolished and re-established, and the eldest brother was imprisoned. In Khan Ama's view, these things could have been avoided, but Thirteen kept these things a secret. No wonder Khan Ama was angry and locked him up.
Thinking of Shisan's calm face before, it is obvious that he himself knows why Khan Ama sent someone to guard him.
"Fourth, if you want to save someone, it's not too late. Wait for another year, and when Ama Khan calms down, I'll find someone to intercede for Shisan." The third master let go, not letting go. No way, the fourth child offered a temptation that he couldn't resist in exchange for this favor.
The third master also had those thoughts about the throne. He originally thought that the prince would have nothing to do with him after he was reinstated, but who would have thought that after the abolition of the prince, not only did he not restrain his temper, but he became more and more weird, and he also acted recklessly. Let's see who It's like looking at the enemy, and Khan Ama can't even look at it and reprimand him several times.
After coming down a few times, the small thoughts in the third master's heart moved again, but now more than half of the court is standing on Lao Ba's side, even if he has that kind of heart, he is powerless.
This time, in order to save Shisan, the fourth brother was willing to exchange all the newspapers established in the south of the Yangtze River with him. With these newspapers, he could expand his influence among literati. Let the third master be moved?
Very smoothly, the two made an agreement.
Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, has not been peaceful recently. Several escort agencies have been sealed by the court. Residents around a Weiyuan escort agency got the news and pointed at the sealed escort agency, "There are rebels hiding here. , but I really can’t see it.”
"I heard it's that demon from the White Lotus Sect."
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful that people from the White Lotus Sect are watching us! They can't do anything about the imperial court, so can they do nothing about us petty people?"
Many people were frightened to silence when they heard this.
In a teahouse less than [-] meters away from Weiyuan Escort Bureau, there were people on the second floor drinking tea while watching. There were five people in total, three men and one woman.
Among the three men, there is a young man, a burly man, and a young man.The woman is a beautiful woman, her long hair is tied into a bun, and she is dressed as a woman.
That burly man was holding the teacup in one hand, his eyes were fixed on the bottom, and he could tell that he was enduring his anger.
The young man among the three men seemed quite calm, as if he was not affected by the following things at all.
The young man among the four seemed a little uncomfortable. He buried his head on the table, beat his head with his little hands and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault for implicating Uncle Tie and the others, otherwise they wouldn't have been arrested."
As soon as the boy opened his mouth, the woman next to him grabbed his arm to prevent him from harming himself, and comforted him, "How can you blame Xiaoyan for this matter? Your identity has not been revealed at all, and those court hawks and dogs are chasing innocent people."
But Xiaoyan was immersed in self-blame, and didn't hear the woman's words clearly, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Uncle Tie saved me, and he was also implicated by me. If it wasn't for me, Uncle Tie's family would not have been caught."
Seeing that persuading him was useless, the woman looked at the young man. The young man put down his cup and said, "Wang Yan, you are the last blood of Mr. Wang, and the Tie family should do their best to keep you."
Xiaoyan looked dazed, his surname was Wang, his real name was Wang Yan, his grandfather was Wang Shiyuan who was impersonated as the Third Prince Zhu and executed by the court the year before last.
Everyone knows that when Wang Shiyuan fled to Shandong with his eldest son, his family members were left in the south of the Yangtze River. When the court searched his home, Wang Shiyuan's remaining sons hanged himself, and Wang Yan was sent out of the house the day before. His own grandson impersonated him.
After that, Wang Yan fled around, and was finally taken in by Tie Xingtian, who was running a dart in the countryside, and it didn't take long for Wang Yan's identity to be revealed.
But Tie Xingtian has another identity, he is the head of the Red Flower Society in private, he found out the identity of Wang Yan, he was overjoyed and quickly reported it.
After all, this person is a genuine descendant of the Zhu family. Except for the one who is tightly hidden among the people, perhaps this is the only bloodline, and Honghuahui will naturally pay close attention to it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man was fished out, the imperial court found out a hall of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau belonging to the Red Flower Society, and directly sent people to suppress this hall.
The city was also put on alert, so they couldn't leave the city for the time being. Thinking that the most dangerous place was the safest place, they went to the teahouse opposite the escort agency to check the situation.
Wang Yan saw the Tie family being arrested with his own eyes. Uncle Tie who was very kind to him, Brother Xiaosong who looked fierce but was actually very kind to him, and Sanwa who had fought with him were all arrested. When he woke up, Wang Yan only thought that he was dragging it down, how could he bear it at such a young age?
"But Uncle Tie has been arrested, haven't you heard what the people below said? He will be executed in autumn!"
Wang Yan was so frightened that tears flowed down his face. He was just a 13-year-old child. He had been wandering around for the past two years and was often frightened. Before he was homeless, he was just a child at home, and his daily troubles were just not doing his homework. over.
In the past two years, he had lived a frightening life, and he had only grown up a bit, but in fact the child was still just a child. Seeing so many people being implicated by him and rushing to their deaths, Wang Yan couldn't take it anymore.
The young man gave the woman a wink, and the woman hugged Wang Yan's head, comforting him with gentle words, "Fool, aren't we still here? We will definitely not let your Uncle Tie die in vain."
Wang Yan raised his head, his eyes lit up frighteningly, "Are you going to save Uncle Tie?"
The burly man at the side slammed the cup on the table impatiently, and then said, "What are you doing, the old iron has made contributions anyway, how could we just watch him being killed by the dog court."
Speaking of this, the burly man stood up and walked around the narrow tea room, and said, "Isn't the emperor not in the capital now? Let's go to the palace and cut off the dog's head of the Tartar emperor!"
The young man frowned and scolded, "Daniu, sit down!"
Da Niu sat back to his original position angrily, and then couldn't hold back his temper and continued, "Young Steward, I really can't help it, Lao Niu, why don't you just do it openly and hide like a mouse like this?" Hiding it, it's so fucking annoying!"
The young man moved his ears and found that there was no movement outside, then lowered his voice and said to Daniel, "I told you to shut up, be careful that the walls have ears!" Now the city is on alert, and everyone knows that the city has been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. People, carefully misinterpreted their words on purpose, and were arrested as members of the White Lotus Cult.
People from the Red Flower Society were arrested as members of the White Lotus Sect, that would be a big joke.
Fortunately, when they were traveling this time, the White Lotus Sect was making trouble in Chengzhong, so they were able to escape in time.
I just hope that the people from the Mighty Escort can grit their teeth and hold on, and directly pour dirty water on Bailianjiao.
Xiaoyan lowered his head dejectedly.
The young man said to everyone, "Okay, all of you are quiet now, and we will visit the Yamen at night."
Xiaoyan raised his head abruptly, his eyes were shining brightly, is he going to rescue someone?
The woman hurriedly said, "No, Brother Chen, those dog officers, who are arresting people in such a large manner, obviously prepared a net to rescue them. If we go, we may fall into the trap ourselves."
The light in Xiaoyan's eyes went out. Although he really wanted to save Uncle Tie and the others, he didn't want to sacrifice others.
The young man confidently picked up the paper fan and spread it out, "It's okay, you're just looking out for the situation, you don't need to go, with my skill, it's not that easy to be discovered."
"Young helmsman, why don't you go with the old cow?"
The young man held up his hand, "No need, if I miss, you can take A Ling and Wang Yan and leave overnight. Remember to go to the south of the city and find an abandoned yard. Abandoned well, the abandoned well can lead directly to the outside of the city." The secret passage dug by the abandoned well is the backhand of the Red Flower Society, in order to keep this secret, people have been pretending to be ghosts in that yard over the years, so that no one dares to approach.Up to now, that courtyard has become a well-known ghost courtyard in the city.
Telling this secret, the young man has made up his mind to go alone.
After hearing this, Daniel and A Ling knew that the young rudder master had made up his mind, and it wasn't something they could change with just a few words.
There is a strict hierarchy in the Red Flower Club, and the sub-ruler's young rudder master gave orders, and they could only obey. Lao Niu and A Ling looked at each other and made up their minds.
The young man thought that it was agreed that the two would follow through, but he never expected that there were other things on their minds.
At night, the young man was wiping his sword in the inn where he was staying, waiting for the rehabilitators outside. When the third watch came, he put on his night clothes, opened the window silently, and slid down the tree beside the window.
Carefully avoiding watchmen and patrolling people along the way, he came to the mansion, the lights in the mansion had been turned off, and it looked very quiet.
But the young man keenly sensed the danger, he retreated quietly, to the roof of the house opposite the government office.
The moonlight was very good today, and people patrolling the street could be vaguely seen. The yamen was quiet, but at this moment, a group of five or six people silently climbed over the wall and jumped into the yamen.
All the young people who were on the opposite side of the government office could see it clearly. He watched the movement inside seriously. It didn't take long for the lights in the office to light up one after another, and there was the sound of weapons being handed over.
The young man frowned. Sure enough, a net had been laid in the yamen. Fortunately, someone was already scouting the way ahead, otherwise he would not be able to escape if he entered.
Not long after, the noise inside stopped, and the halls and other offices in the government office went out one after another, and then returned to a quiet state.
Thinking that this time he was going to return in vain, the young man was about to leave, and just jumped off the roof when he happened to see the condensed light of the knife shining in the moonlight.
Almost reflexively, he withdrew the sword backhand and held it against it.
After several rounds of confrontation with the man, the sound of the sword blare obviously alarmed the patrolling people, the young man looked at the man, who was also dressed in black, apparently also a person who took the opportunity to travel at night, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you? Why attack me?"
The man lowered his voice, "Who are you? How dare you block my aunt's way?"
The young man was stunned, because the voice made by this person was obviously a woman's voice. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching not far away, the two of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. They let go of each other and fled in two directions.
On the second day, the security in the city was even stricter. When I was having breakfast in the morning, I heard the customers in the inn talking quietly. All the conversations were about the situation last night. Obviously, the news of the burglars in the government had spread last night, too, There was such a big commotion yesterday, how could no one hear it?
If the young man ate with four people, Daniel looked at the young man and wanted to ask something, but he still didn't say anything in the end, depending on the surrounding environment.
Just after breakfast, they went to the young man's house together.
Xiao Ling stood in front of the door to observe the situation outside, while Daniu couldn't wait to ask the young man, "Young...Young Master, didn't anything happen last night?" I thought the elder brother didn't go out last night.
Seeing that the young helmsman had breakfast as usual, if it wasn't for the discussion yesterday, Daniel really thought he hadn't gone out.
Originally, both of them had already made a plan. If the young helmsman was really caught, they would leave overnight, send Wang Yan to the nearest sub-helm, and then contact some brothers to rescue the young helmsman.
Seeing that the young helmsman was safe and sound now, the two were relieved.
The young man frowned deeply and said, "There was an accident last night, and someone also talked about the government office at night."
Daniel asked nervously, "Who is it? Could it be the other brothers in the club?"
The young man shook his head, "I don't know, these people were arrested by the government, and the news hasn't come out yet, but I suspect it's the members of the White Lotus Sect." If the brothers in the association would definitely send a message, there was no message this time Just act, it doesn't look like the style of the club at first glance.
Daniel relaxes, as long as he is not a brother in the club, what does he care about them?
"Young helmsman, what should we do next?"
The young man has also seen that the government is definitely not that easy to break into, and the woman who fought against him yesterday is also a question, whether this woman is an enemy or a friend.
The young man felt that he had fallen into a miasma, and everything in this city seemed so mysterious.
He can be sure that the Weiyuan Escort was not arrested because Wang Yan's identity was leaked.Tie Xingtian also joined the Red Flower Club in the entire Weiyuan Escort Bureau. However, he was only an outsider, and at most he only helped to collect some information. Few people knew his identity, but they didn't know how the court discovered his identity.
The young man felt that the situation here was unusual, so he had the idea of retreating.
It's better to transfer Wang Yan to a safe place, and send a few more people to investigate later. It is necessary to find out how the government got the news of the Red Flower Society accurately.
"Leave first." The young man said to Daniel.
Daniel glanced at Wang Yan next to him, and then said to the young man, "Young Rudder Master, are the Tie family dead?"
Wang Yan looked expectant.
The young man squeezed his fingers and said in a deep voice, "Let's take this matter for a while. Even if the Tie family is sentenced to beheaded, they will be transported to the capital first. There are still two months left. Let's leave here and transfer Wang Yan to the main helm. I was struggling with some brothers intercepting people in the middle of the road."
Wang Yan was very disappointed when he heard that, but he can't make decisions, he can only follow other people's arrangements.
Daniel smiled, "Alright, the Cao Gang also has a group of righteous men who support our Red Flower Society, and we can use the Cao Gang to rescue people at that time."
After discussing the decision, several people withdrew from the city smoothly. As soon as they left the city, the inn they used to live in was surrounded by people from the government. A large group of yamen servants rushed into the inn like wolves. The innkeeper was arrested.
"...Where did these people go?"
A yamen servant showed a few blueprints to the shopkeeper. After seeing the faces on the blueprints, the shopkeeper secretly called out bad luck, and then cried like dead parents, "Master Qingtian, these people have already checked out, really. It's nothing small!"
As soon as he heard about the check-out, the yamen servant raised his knife and asked the shopkeeper, "Where did that man go?"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost lost control, and shook his head, "I don't know, I usually just settle accounts behind the counter, how do I know where the customers go after they leave?"
The yamen servant looked fiercely at the waiter and other guests in the inn, "Does any of you know?"
The guests shook their heads one after another, but there was an errand waiter with a strange expression on his face. After seeing it, the yamen servant arrested him, "Do you know something?"
The shop waiter shook his body and soon a smell of urine appeared, the shop waiter was so scared that he peed his pants, he said with a mournful face, "Back, back to the master, the little one was helping an objective to get a carriage, and I happened to see those guests go Nancheng."
Nancheng?
The yamen servants glanced at each other and got a clue, turned around and threw the waiter on the ground, and a group of people cheered and left the inn with a wave of their hands.
After arriving in Nancheng, they asked again, and soon found out where the group of people had gone. When the yamen servants stood at the gate of the most famous ghost house in the city, a group of people were suddenly terrified.
"Could it be, could it be that those people are ghosts?" the youngest of the yamen servants called out.
The oldest one held the handle of the knife and patted him on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the ghosts come from in broad daylight? Alright, let's go in and have a look together, and we must catch those monsters." Finally got it There are many rewards for catching one of these monsters.
This is the news from the imperial court. Anyone who catches anti-Qing organizations, ordinary people have one tael of silver per person, middle-level people have ten taels, high-level names and surnames have a hundred taels, and if they are at the rudder level, they are worth a thousand taels. They won't be able to earn money for a lifetime.
And these rewards are not just for them, there are also those who have meritorious service in reporting by the people. Those people hid so tightly before, why they were discovered is not the credit of those three aunts and six women. That is well known, and any unusual behavior of any family can't escape their eyes.
After these women noticed something was wrong, they would quietly inform the government, and the government would check, and rewards would be given to those who were caught if the situation was true, and the identities of these women would never be revealed.
On the surface, it seems that the government arrested the man, but who knows, there are a group of women in the city who want money and want to be jealous, staring at everyone, there is something wrong, and they don’t know when Quietly informed the government.
During this period of time, the probability of solving crimes in the government has greatly increased. In the past, some headless cases have been solved, so that the incidence of homicides in the entire city has dropped sharply, and even petty theft has decreased a lot. Such an effect.The government is happy, and the rich in the city are also happy.
Moreover, none of the money was paid by the government. Although the money for rewards was first provided by the government, in fact, these prisoners would get the money when they were sent to the designated place.
The woman provided information, and it was one tael of silver to catch a person, but the government government captured the person and traded it, at least two taels of silver, and half of it was still earned.
It's just that you don't need to worry so much about this two-and-a-half two things. There are at least hundreds of thousands in the White Lotus Sect, and hundreds of people are worth hundreds of taels of silver. The yamen servants did not dislike it.
Although the haunted house in the city was often rumored to be haunted, it actually started more than ten years ago.
The old yamen servant has been working as an errand for 30 to [-] years. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business before, so he didn't take care of these ghost houses, but now, facing the money that is lavish, how can he let it go?
According to the news, those who slipped away today may be the top officials of the White Lotus Sect. If they get a reward of at least a hundred taels of silver, it will already be worth a hundred ordinary prisoners.
Looking at the disrepaired gate in front of him, the old yamen servant gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Go in, I don't believe there are ghosts inside!"
A group of yamen servants pushed open the door and went in. When they walked in, they found that the grass was luxuriant inside, and occasionally insects jumped over it. One of the yamen servants pushed the old yamen servant and pointed to the grass that had been trampled down in front of him and said, "Boss Wu, look!"
The old yamen servant walked over, bent down to look carefully, and then turned around and said, "It seems that this is the place, these are all new footprints, look at the broken grass roots, the juice is not dry yet." Looking at the direction of the footprints, I stretched out my hand, "Go, because I want to see whether there is really a ghost here, or someone is pretending to be a ghost!"
He searched for his footsteps, and finally stopped under a banyan tree, and his footsteps disappeared.
The young yamen servant turned pale, and said with a trembling voice, "That's right here. I heard that a woman who was insulted hanged herself here ten years ago, and then rumors of ghosts spread. The footsteps of these people disappeared here. It must be back to the underworld!"
The old yamen servant patted the head of the young yamen servant fiercely, "Fucking hell, look at the well under the tree, don't you see any footprints?"
The other yamen servants gathered around to have a look. The old yamen servant came to the well to understand, pointed to a yamen servant and said, "Go down the rope and take a look."
Without saying a word, the yamen servant climbed down the rope at the mouth of the well, and he reached the bottom of the well not long after.
Then he seemed to have discovered something and shouted upwards, "Boss Wu, a hole has been dug below!"
The old yamen servant asked, "How deep is the hole?"
"I can't see clearly. It's dark inside, and it looks very deep." Then the yamen servant moved his face to the entrance of the cave again, and said after a while, "There's a sound of wind."
The old yamen servant patted the mouth of the well and said, "It's right if there are rumors, come up!"
The others looked at the old yamen servant, "Boss Wu, why don't we go down and see where the passage leads to?"
The old yamen servant spat and said, "What do you look for? Who knows if there is an ambush over there." Anyway, he knew the opponent's whereabouts, so he couldn't catch him even if he wanted to catch him at this time, and he had already run away.
The yamen servant climbed up, and the old yamen servant looked at the well again and said, "Leave this well for now, and we will have to use this well to catch more people later." They dug out such a tunnel under their noses. Come on, it was not an honorable thing in the first place, if it was to be spread, the county government below would have to laugh it off.
This matter is no longer in the hands of the old yamen servant, so it can only be reported to the Futai Master to handle it.
After the young man left, he didn't know what happened later, and if he knew, he wouldn't have what happened later.
But these are all things to say later, after leaving that city, the young man brought the other three people to Shaoxing by boat.
The young man was born in Shaoxing and grew up in Shaoxing. When he was a teenager, he left home to study martial arts with a teacher. Later, he found out that his master was the sub-rudder leader of the Red Flower Society. Because of the young man's influence from childhood, he also regarded the anti-Qing cause as his own responsibility.
However, his father was an official of the imperial court. In order to hide his identity and not to burden his family, the young man only used his study tour as an excuse to stay away all year round and never revealed his identity.
This time, if he had no other choice, the young man would not bring people to Shaoxing, because the government along the way was very strict, and without a formal identity, he would not be able to reach the headquarter of the Red Flower Society safely.
On this day in the Chen residence, upon receiving the news that the young master had returned, the eldest lady of the Chen family, who was serving her parents-in-law at home, immediately came out to greet her.
"He'er, you're back? What did your master say this year? Is it time to end?" Mrs. Chen's wife is just an ordinary woman. Now that her husband is an official, she stays in the main house to serve her mother-in-law. That is to say, the eldest son is not yet married.
Even if he told him about his marriage, he refused because he had not established a career. The wife of the Chen family had no choice but to pray to his son's master to let him pass the exam as soon as possible and then go home to ask for a relative.
After Mrs. Chen's family finished asking, she finally found out that her son didn't come back alone, but brought three people with him.
She didn't care about the other person, but asked the woman behind her son, "Who is this one?" Looking at the woman combing her hair, she just didn't know what it had to do with her son?
Mrs. Chen's family has bad thoughts in her heart, could it be that her son is not enough to marry herself?
The young man hurriedly introduced, "Mother, this one is Da Niu, who was sent by my master to protect me. This one is Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao's husband-in-law went to the capital, and the master saw that I was on the way, so he asked me to take her." All the way." Then he pointed to Wang Yan and said, "This is Mrs. Yao's younger brother. Mother, I will stay at home for a few days, and then leave for Beijing to take the exam."
Mrs. Chen's family was elated when she heard that, "Your master finally agrees to let you go?"
The young man twitched his lips far-fetchedly, and said, "Mum, how many times have I told you that this matter has nothing to do with the master. I didn't sign up because I felt unsure."
The eldest lady of the Chen family didn't care, she felt that her son was good wherever he went, and he would definitely pass the exam. As long as he passed the exam, he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law. With a daughter-in-law, will the grandson be far behind?
When Mrs. Chen thought about it, she didn't even take the matter of her son bringing a stranger back to her heart, so she hurriedly asked the housekeeper to arrange it.
The young man smiled apologetically at the others, and told the three of them not to be polite at home, and followed the housekeeper to rest while he went to visit the ancestors.
The old ancestor of the Chen family is the grandmother of the young man, and this person is also of extraordinary status. She was originally the princess of the former dynasty, but the Qing court only followed the traces of the royal men from the former dynasty closely, and did not pay much attention to the women. .
In the Chen family, it can be said that only this old ancestor knows the true identity of the young man, and it was even arranged by this old ancestor that the young man was able to worship under his master's name back then.
"Have you received someone?" The old ancestor was enjoying the shoulders of the maid beside him, when he saw the grandson coming over and asked.
The young man said respectfully, "Yes."
In order to wave his hand, the old ancestor waved away the servant girl, and then sighed, "This is the only seedling of the fourth brother. He has been hiding for so many years, but it is a pity that he still did not escape in the end."
After sighing, the old ancestor said to the young man, "You take good care of that child, it is best to find an ordinary family to adopt him."
The young man showed a look of embarrassment, "Ancestor, there are many people who have seen Xiaoyan, and there may be no way to get over this matter."
The old ancestor snorted, "If it wasn't for the Red Flower Society who used the name of the third brother, the fourth brother would not have been exposed, and the whole family of this child would not have been wiped out, leaving him alone." Brother hid it well, she didn't believe it was exposed for no reason.
Although the old ancestor called Wang Shiyuan the fourth brother, in fact she has a very distant blood relationship with the Zhu family's royal family. When the Ming Dynasty collapsed, she was just an ignorant child. At the beginning, she used the flag to fight against the Qing court, but when she fled, she was separated from her parents, and she went to Shaoxing alone, where she met the old master of the Chen family.
The master of the Chen family recognized her identity from the only jade pendant on her body, and then brought her back to the Chen family to decide for his son to marry her.
Those who knew her identity over the years are all dead. The young ones, like her son, only thought that she was an orphan, and she was lucky enough to marry his father. It was because her son didn't know anything, so he could be a courtier.
However, later the ancestor's identity was recognized by people from the Red Flower Society, and the person who recognized her was the son of her father's bodyguard back then. Later, the ancestor simply hired this person to be his grandson's master.
Unlike these people who are still dreaming of fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor is just a woman who doesn't care about those great achievements, and has no good feelings for these people who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the name of the Zhu family.
What's more, after learning that these people had exposed Zhu Si, there was not even a single bit of goodwill left in the end, even in front of his grandson, he didn't show any good looks.
"Old ancestor..." the young man begged her to stop talking.
One is Shimen and the other is grandma, he is not pleasing to both ends.
The old ancestor took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know how many people are left in my Zhu family. I don't know if this ready-made child is the last bloodline. Even if I go all out, I will arrange for this child." Saying that, he put down his teacup and looked at the young man, "Jiahe, this kid is also your cousin, you should find a way to send him away."
Chen Jiahe finally lowered his head and said, "This time my grandson needs to go to Beijing, there may be accidents on the way, and my grandson will think of a way."
The old ancestor nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you to do it this time."
Chen Jiahe stayed in Shaoxing for a few days, using the influence of the Chen family to inspect the movement of the court, he was keenly aware of something wrong with the government, and seemed to be hiding some big secret.
All these sources point to the Rehe Palace, and it seems that the governments all over the country have received instructions from Rehe.
What kind of instructions came from the Jehol Palace and why all kinds of news did not come out? Not only Chen Jiahe felt puzzled, but even the Red Flower Society, Tiandi Society, White Lotus Sect, etc. were all uneasy, and sent a large number of people to investigate the imperial court. movement.
Even if a large number of people fall into the hands of the imperial court, it will not hesitate.
Chen Jiahe also received the news from the chief helm, and ordered him to send Wang Yan over quickly, and inquire about the court's movements by the way.
You must know that every denomination has placed people in the court, but this time the court has so easily skipped the people planted everywhere, and the news has been successfully conveyed to the governments of all places. How is this not scary?
Could it be that the imperial court already knew the identity of the person they placed?And no matter how close the news is, as long as people know it will always come out, why is it so unexpected this time?
With all kinds of doubts in his mind, Chen Jiahe set foot on the boat and headed north.
