Chapter Eighty-Four: Another Mother and Daughter

Zong Zhengke was looking at the map of mountains and rivers, and his eyes stayed on a rolling low mountain range outside Tongshan Town for a long time. There are two eye-catching signs that represent the places that have been specially marked, one is the Dayushan Gold Mine and the other is the Xiaoyushan Gold Mine.

She chuckled and turned her gaze away, staring instead at the undulating mountains and the Tongjiang River, a tributary of the Yuchuan River, which separated the Great and Small Yu Mountains. Her goal is this seemingly unremarkable barren land. She raised money from a variety of sources during this time, and she wanted to buy it.

But it's still early, her plan has just begun, and the show has just appeared, what are you anxious about, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

There was an extra bowl of sweet and smooth tofu brain for lunch, and Zong Zhengke ate most of the bowl with a good appetite. After the meal, Mingxin came to report, the princess of Yicheng has not returned, the eldest princess of Kunshan is sick and rushed to the hospital, so that people sent a full 50,000 taels of silver to Guang'en Temple, saying that they want to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue of Guang'en Temple. Abbot Zhiming came to ask what to do with this money.

Zong Zheng Keman said: "Tell him to send the silver back, and he doesn't have to give any reason." "Fifty thousand taels, too little for the eldest princess of Kunshan, how can she show her sincerity? She loaded a few carriages, and she was not afraid of being mistaken for a good thing to accompany the dowry, but she still stayed in the Moon Garden.

After Mingxin left, Muyu came to quietly ask for instructions, and the old lady found more and more clues, faintly pointing to the "Molian Sect" of Laoshizi who appeared in the countryside recently, what are the girl's plans?

Since Zong Zhengke activated the manpower left by the general trend to the senior brother, he handed over the task of tracking down Zong Zhengjin's side to the subordinates of the Dapushou Zen Temple represented by Yuanzhen. Now, Mingxin and Muyu are a little unconvinced and competing with each other.

But Zong Zhengke was happy to see this. She listened to Muyu's words, and still only asked the other side to pay careful attention to the old lady's movements, and did not have to make any movements. She was waiting, waiting for Li Yi's people to come and find her. Although the source of this matter is Li Yi's subordinates. But since it has something to do with her, how to end it must be done according to her wishes!

In addition, the Molian Sect. Judging from the news obtained these days, if she guessed correctly, I am afraid it is also Li Yi's secret handiwork. She really can't understand Li Yi, she has such manpower and material resources. He didn't go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to plan carefully, but took great pains to lay out the Tianxing Kingdom, for what? Could it be that he planned to use this matter as a step to advance so that he could receive a reward from the Eastern Tang Emperor?

At night, sure enough, the little monkey pinched another painting. But it was an iron-masked man lying on the ground, dripping with blood. Zong Zhengke knew that Tie Mian was probably injured a lot, and for Li Yi's sake, she couldn't ignore this person. She picked up a pen and returned a painting, this time she drew it carefully, and she drew several frames.

The day turned around again, and the atmosphere in Uogawa Mansion became even more tense. Because at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a small package was suddenly thrown at the gate of the Yamen of the Governor of Yuchuan Prefecture.

The officials chased them out, but they only found a stupid child, who didn't know what to do except smirk. They can only admit that they are unlucky. I picked up the package and brought it to the hall and handed it to the prefect of Uogawa.

Gui Zhifu personally opened the package and saw an ordinary wooden box wrapped inside. When he lifted the lid of the box, he was shocked to find that it contained ten neatly cut nails. The nails were delicate and round, and the kodan on them had faded, but you could still see the carefully painted patterns of flowers on them. This is clearly a woman's nail.

At this time, the eldest princess of Kunshan came to the prefect's yamen to supervise the case as a few days ago, and fainted immediately when she saw the nail. The old lady Gu of Xinglintang was urgently diagnosed and treated, and a few needles went down, and the eldest princess of Kunshan woke up with a scream. And the tears welled up like springs, and we wept bitterly.

It turned out that the eldest princess of Kunshan recognized at a glance that the ten beautiful nails were the nails of Princess Murong Huanhuan of Yicheng. Impatiens painted on it. is still the tricks she painstakingly collected, and Murong Huanwan likes it very much.

In addition to the nails, a text message was attached to the wooden box. I don't know if the person who wrote the letter can't write or what, dozens of words are written in a scattered and crooked manner, and it is simply not the same. But no matter how ugly the words are, they can still express the meaning clearly -- within 12 hours, 80,000 taels of gold tickets will be deposited into the Tianxia Huitong Bank, and one hour later. Chop off a slender jade finger of Princess Yicheng!

The last time the gangster sent an arrow book, which stated the amount of extortion and the account number of a world Huitong bank. The eldest princess of Kunshan also tried to find the trace of the gangster through the account of Guò, but the branch of Tianxia Huitong Qianzhuang in Yuchuan Mansion respectfully but resolutely rejected her request. The semicolon shopkeeper made it clear that even if the entire Qian Zhuang was withdrawn from Tianxingguo, they would never disclose the customer's information.

Tianxia Huitong Money Village is not a local money bank in Tianxing Country, its base camp is in the Dasheng Empire, and it is the first money village in the world with the background of Dasheng Royal. How can Tian Xingguo afford to offend? Not to mention others, the eldest princess of Kunshan herself has opened an account in Tianxia Huitong Bank. The shopkeeper implicitly said that if this matter starts, it will not be able to stop, and I am afraid that Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, your account information will also be revealed.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is bullying Tianxing's lack of national strength. Not to mention the Great Qin Empire, the number one power in the world, even if Tianxing is only a big country like Zhaoqi Wei Sheng, I am afraid that Kunshan, as the eldest princess, can easily get what she wants.

If the country is weak, the people will be weak, even in their own country, they will be angry. This is the truth of the world! The eldest princess of Kunshan can only return with a feather, which is why she raised money from Princess Sun. As long as she still wants her daughter back, she can only swallow her anger and pay the ransom for the time being.

Now it's good that the ransom of 80,000 taels of gold tickets is to be raised. But after all, it was not hanging alive like a few days ago, and the eldest princess of Kunshan actually had some strange pleasant feelings-since she spent 50,000 taels of gold tickets on Yan Yushu, Murong Huanwan should have more. Eighty thousand taels, well, this is worth a lot of silver.

Since identifying that the fingernail belonged to Princess Yicheng, the prefect of Uogawa cried and regretted why he had spent most of his savings to get this official position. He knelt in front of the eldest princess of Kunshan and trembled with fear, knowing that no matter how things ended, his career had come to an end. Now he only wants to save the lives of his family, and he doesn't look forward to anything else.

The staff of the Gui Governor's Mansion was quite calm, and they also knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this is a threatening move by the gangsters. Her Royal Highness the Princess is definitely fine now, definitely without hindrance! ”

With a bang, the eldest princess of Kunshan threw the tea bowl on the ground with great force, and said fiercely at the prefect of Yuchuan: "Why don't you send someone to find it quickly?!" Even if you turn the whole Yuchuan Mansion over, you have to find the traces of the villains! Otherwise," she smiled grimly, "this palace also gives you a taste of the pain of losing your daughter, son, grandchildren!" ”

The prefect of Uogawa was sweating. Nodding again and again, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms with trembling hands, raised his hands above his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is not doing well." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was merciful and did not pursue it. Now that this villain lion opened his mouth, Weichen wanted to talk about his heart, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, and he asked His Royal Highness to accept it. ”

The face of the eldest princess of Kunshan finally looked a little better. Last time, the Gui prefect also honored her with 50,000 taels. But these silver were exchanged for golden tickets at Tianxia Huitong Bank, and a lot of "handling fees" had to be paid. After doing the math, it's okay to take the golden ticket directly, and it will cost at least nearly 850,000 taels of silver to exchange it for a golden ticket.

She didn't look at Gui Governor's Mansion, only looked at her sharp fingernails, and said coldly: "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Gui Governor's Mansion, this Yuchuan Mansion is a famous and rich place in my Tianxing country, and you are now re-elected. I've been sitting on the prefect's throne for almost five years in Uogawa, so you're embarrassed to be filial to such an idea?! Can I buy your head?! ”

Gui Zhifu kowtowed, and said in a mournful voice: "Your Royal Highness, these are just the cash raised by Weichen first, and Weichen will also have filial piety, I just ask His Highness to forgive Weichen!" As he spoke, he suddenly put his hands on his chest, his eyes rolled white, and he blew two uh-uh in his throat. Fell to the ground.

The staff of the Gui Governor's Mansion stepped forward to hug the Gui Governor's Mansion and screamed miserably: "Dong Weng? Dong Weng? Come on, Dong Weng fainted and died! Dong On! ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan's chest rose and fell violently, and her beautiful eyes were round. But he could only watch as a group of five big and three rough officials rushed up and carried the Gui prefect's mansion away with their hands and feet. She wanted to have a seizure again, but thinking that her daughter would have to rely on the help of local officers and soldiers to find her, she could only suppress her anger and secretly decided to find a dog officer who had fallen by the hair.

Today, Prince Uogawa was not present, and even Zongzhengjin's father and son and Pei Yuma were nowhere to be seen. The eldest princess of Kunshan came late. Seeing this, I thought they were gone. But the female official Wen was careful, and she had already quietly inquired about it, and when she got a good news for their master and servant, she hurriedly went back and forth to the eldest princess of Kunshan, and said in her ear: "Your Highness, the body of the king of Yuyan County was found in the Xiaoyushan gold mine in Tongshan Town. The prince and Pei Ma took Lord Zongzheng's father and son to Tongshan Town to check out. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan was overjoyed, and then said angrily: "My brother doesn't take Huan'er to heart, go and see what dead people!" ”

The civil servant said in a lower voice: "Your Highness, the slave maid has heard Grandma Sun beside Princess Sun complain, it seems that Princess Xin intends to buy the gold miners in Princess Sun's hand. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan snorted coldly, and said with a snort: "Wishful thinking!" She had no intention of staying, so she had to hurry up to raise money to save Huan'er. As for these officials and monks who dared to snub her, especially the villain, she would think about it after ransoming her daughter.

When the eldest princess of Kunshan left the Yamen of the Yuchuan Prefect's Mansion, she was accustomed to clean the streets, and happened to stop the rosary that she had been ordered to go to Qiluo Pavilion to do things for Zong Zhengke. She knelt on the ground with all the people and waited, until Luan drove away, and then she got up from the ground.

Glancing from afar in the direction where Luan drove away, the rosary pursed her lips, and she stopped just to listen to the discussion of the people. These days, the news of the princess's abduction has spread all over the Uogawa Mansion and beyond, and I'm afraid that even Tianxingjing has gotten the news - doesn't it mean that which princess is the top of the Queen Mother's heart? The rumors in the market are really not very good, fragrant and gorgeous!

The rosary deliberately squeezed into many places, but it was slippery like a small fish. Just because she is young, she has a four-grade martial arts cultivation in her body, and she can also be called a middle-level martial artist. She thought that the first time the girl sent her out to run errands, she must have more eyes and listen to more news from the girl.

So she drilled all the way, listened all the way, and she slowly arrived at the Qiluo Pavilion on Kaori Street for a long time. As soon as she entered the store, a little girl about the same age as her stepped forward and asked with a smile: "This sister, do you want to buy embroidery thread or materials?" ”

The rosary also bowed, and his heart was so excited that he subconsciously looked inside, and said with a smile: "I am the slave maid of the third girl of the Zongzheng family, and I came to find the shopkeeper of your store on the order of our girl, and I have something to hand over to her personally." With that, she patted the furoshiki she was carrying behind her.

When the little girl heard that it was the slave of the third girl of the Zongzheng family, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly let the rosary into the left corner of the first floor. When she entered the room, she stuffed a silver horn into her hand and said with a smile: "Bother my sister to give me a gift, don't dislike this tea money." ”

Looking down at the palm, the little girl almost didn't have a snot bubble. This delicate and small silver horn is specially designed to reward people, a penny of silver, her monthly money is only three hundred yuan, how to make her dislike? She bent her knees to the rosary again and again, said good things with her little mouth, and personally brought refreshments.

The rosary sat down in a chair and rested. This place is obviously designed to entertain the slaves and maids who accompany the master out to shop, and the waiting people are all about the same size and small maids and maids. The wearing of the rosary is not rich in it, but it is not shabby either. She waited quietly for a while, and then the little girl came again and led her upstairs to the private room.

Standing in front of the door curtain, the rosary took a deep breath, reached out to pick up the curtain and went in, and curtsy to the beauty who had her back to her in a proper manner: "I have seen the big shopkeeper, and the slave is the second-class girl next to the third girl." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Hu Mei raised his head in disbelief and turned around. She looked carefully at the girl who was smiling playfully in front of her, and she couldn't believe it, and was about to cry out, but she was immediately alert, and hurriedly took a few steps to cover the door. She stretched out her hand and held the rosary tightly, opened the secret door and entered the secret room, and asked in a low voice, "Lin Niang, is it really you?" ”

The rosary stretched out her hand to hug Hu Mei, her feet jumped off the ground, but she also lowered her voice and said: "Mother, mother, it's really me, your little baby Linniang!" ”

Hu Mei couldn't cry or laugh, pulled his daughter away, looked up and down, left and right, and sighed after half a sound: "Why have you grown so tall?" "Her Lin Niang is only ten years old this year, but this head is almost taller than the thirteen-year-old Ke Niang.

The rosary proudly grabbed Hu Mei's elbow and said with a smile: "If you don't grow so tall, you don't look like you're thirteen or fourteen years old, and I won't be able to come to Tianxing Kingdom to serve His Holiness!" I also have cultivation in my body now, and I will protect His Holiness well!" (To be continued.) )
