Chapter 124: Everywhere
Zhang Zhaohua felt that the situation was not right since she found out that the situation was wrong, she looked at the face of any of the people and river workers, and everyone she saw through the curtain seemed to be unpredictable.
Yang Shiqi had always looked and behaved as usual, and he even had a good plan to pretend to be subservient in order to seize that vital account book. Zhang Zhaohua actually felt that this account book was actually redundant, and what they should think about most now was how to get out of this place - Zhang Zhaohua did not stay overnight on the river, she would be picked up by a carriage to the county every afternoon, and there was nothing until Yang Shiqi took her to the treasury that day, she found that her carriage seemed to have traces of being searched, and she knew that if Yang Shiqi did not deal with it right, she would soon face a search, or worse, it was possible for the two to be imprisoned or even killed.
It's not that there is no such example, the envoy sent to Hebei by the emperor of Yongle in the fourth year hanged himself inexplicably, which is still the conclusion unanimously given by the Hebei officialdom, when Hebei was in a famine, it was obvious that the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court were embezzled by the local officials, and then were killed after the envoy found out the truth.
The envoys of the three grades can be killed, not to mention that Yang Shiqi, an official of the sixth grade, although he often serves the emperor, is an insignificant role in the end, and Yang Shiqi's appearance on the river is already doubtful. Although Yang Shiqi did want to come and see it himself, in the eyes of others, I am afraid that he has a mission.
Yang Shiqi's strategy is clever, and his methods seem to be very eye-catching, on this day he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked Zhang Zhaohua to see it.
"Is this-silver ticket?" Zhang Zhaohua was very familiar with it, because it was the silver ticket of the Qingyuan, and it was full of colors: "Three thousand taels? ”
"Actually, I asked for 5,000 and they consciously bought me. Yang Shiqi showed a satisfied smile: "I still have the last item of Bazi money I haven't seen, I will definitely ask them again in the next few days to come to this account to see, then you prepare the carriage, we will leave Shandong immediately." ”
Eight sub money is the silver of easy money, one tael of silver deducted eighty wen, Hegong silver before and after 800,000 taels, deduction of eight sub money 56,000 strings, only their own private accounts can be seen, public accounts can not see anything.
Zhang Zhaohua also thought of other methods, such as sending letters to the express delivery shop, but the express delivery shop is an official channel for sending letters, which cannot be bought with money, although there is Yang Shiqi's official seal, but it must not alarm the Shandong political envoy, so that even if you can invite reinforcements from Beijing, I am afraid that you can only collect their bodies when you arrive.
"I have something to tell you as well. Zhang Zhaohua felt his heart pounding: "I think there seem to be people watching us in the civil service." ”
In the past few days, five or six people have been circling around her tent, and she has seen the same thing outside the tents of the other two river officials, and she suspects that these two officials may not be cooperative.
Yang Shiqi's eyes showed doubts.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said, "Last night, I missed three watches. ”
Zhang Zhaohua didn't quite understand, but Yang Shiqi's uneasy mood affected her, and the two of them actually said at the same time: "Let's leave tonight." ”
Zhang Zhaohua and Handong came out of the construction site and did not see their carriage, because the time agreed with the coachman was not enough. But they waited for a long time, even longer than the time, and did not wait for the coachman, and could not help but panic.
The two of them walked along the official road to the direction of the county, the official road is finally a thoroughfare, and the construction site and the county seat many times, Zhang Zhaohua is more familiar, walked for half an hour and saw a tea shed - this tea shed is a place where the coachman often stays, and the coachman always likes to drink a cup of tea before leaving.
Han Dong's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly shouted: "Madam, isn't that our carriage?"
Zhang Zhaohua looked at it, and sure enough, it was the carriage he rented, but the coachman was gone, and the horse neighed uneasily - the entire tea shed was empty, and the original tea doctor was gone.
Zhang Zhaohua felt a long-lost fear as she squatted down and saw a pool of blood spilled on the carriage and the ground.
"Hide," Zhang Zhaohua said in a low voice, "Go to the toilet!"
There is a simple thatched toilet in the northwest corner of the tea shed, just a random earthen wall, but it can finally cover people, they just hid, and sure enough, there were footsteps towards the tea shed, and soon two figures walked side by side, but when they arrived at the tea shed, it seemed that there was a hostile posture immediately, and the two people retreated a little far, obviously a posture of prevention.
Zhang Zhaohua saw that these two people, one was Dr. Cha, and the other was unkempt like a beggar, with a broken straw hat on his head and a blanket on his shoulders.
There was no sound in the tea shed, but a few quails raised by Dr. Tea were chirping, jumping and jumping in the cage, wagging their tails and shrugging their wings, making a desperate fighting posture.
"Dr. Tea," the beggar opened his mouth first, "you quail, what a spirit!"
Dr. Tea said, "Then buy one and fight!"
"It's to fight and go to the vacuum hometown. The beggar replied as he stretched out his index and middle fingers, the tips of which were pointing upwards and making an arc.
When the tea doctor saw this, he made the same gesture and asked, "It's a face, where did you come from?"
"Jun County, Henan," said the beggar, "there is something important." ”
"What's the matter?" said Dr. Cha.
"Qingyang is robbed, Hongyang is prosperous!" said the beggar.
Dr. Tea laughed: "The yellow flower has landed, and the catastrophe is coming! It turned out to be the brother of Jun County, is Sect Leader Wang okay?"
"Okay!" The beggar said excitedly: "This time the catastrophe, the three provinces responded at the same time, and the north and the south worked together, are you still worried that the big thing will not be accomplished?
"I, the people of Shandong, are the most difficult. The tea doctor said: "The officials force the people to rebel, and if the officials don't give them a way to live, we will make the emperor's rebellion! With or without the blessing of the old mother, this move will definitely be a success! It takes everyone's concerted efforts to succeed!"
"That's nature!" said the beggar, "The king sect leader has sent us here to assist our brothers, and we should share weal and besiege, life and death together!
"It's tonight. Dr. Tea said: "After blowing up the embankment, immediately break through the county seat, spread the word to the world, and raise righteousness together!"
However, at this time, the two suddenly heard the sound of rustling from the northwest, and immediately made a look, picked up their weapons, and quietly touched them.
