There were a few gray rats, creeping behind the hill of vegetable heaps, their eyes rolling from side to side, glancing from time to time at the strange people in the room, and their arguments became more and more intense, almost reaching outside.

These rats were very worried that they would be discovered, so they didn't stay in this room much today, just grabbed some vegetable leaves and slipped away!

"Bastard, since you have a helper in Yangzhou, why don't you save that Xu Shaoxia, is he dead, do you think you can escape from this official?"

Zhou Wenbin squatted on the ground, looked at Cao Cheng who was lying on the ground on his side, and said angrily.

Cao Cheng didn't want to pay attention to this adult, so he kept replying to the word "I don't know", but his voice was higher than once again.

It turned out that on the way back to Yangzhou last night, Zhou Wenbin and the others were already asleep, leaving only his attendant and one person driving.

On the way back to Yangzhou in Huangcheng, their suspicious night carriage met several officers and soldiers who were checking along the way.

After having just experienced the battle with the mighty dart bureau, Zhou Wenbin's attendant also knew that these officers and soldiers were most likely the other party's people.

And he was about to wake up the two people in the car and was about to escape, but one of them appeared and helped them.

The man went to the officers and soldiers, and without knowing what they said, the officers and soldiers did not inquire, and then the man left directly through the night, and from beginning to end, the attendant did not see the man's face clearly.

This attendant was also in this wet and cold vegetable room just now, and only remembered this when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little bored.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Wenbin insisted that it was Cao Cheng's subordinates, because apart from his people, there was indeed no one who could help these people.

"Lord Zhou, do you have any doubts about Xiao Lao'er's kung fu, why don't you go and inquire when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come back, if you continue to make a lot of noise, I'm afraid that we haven't seen the prince yet, and we will see the dart head first!"

Cao Cheng held his cheek raiser with one hand, lay on his side, and squinted his eyes and said.

Zhou Wenbin naturally knew that what Cao Cheng said was right, if Wang Shichang's gang was recruited, it would really be desperate.

He instructed his attendant to greet the man, and then go upstairs to find out about the prince, and then he leaned against the door, for fear of letting Cao Cheng run away.

Seeing Zhou Wenbin's state, Cao Cheng was not angry, nor was he laughing, so he had to shake his head, move his body, change his posture and continue to lie down.

......

......

"What Xue Luping said to his brother before, why is there still Uncle Xi's matter?"

Li Yuanhuan had a lot of things to say to Xi Yuanxiu after that Lord Xue left, but it was a pity that his brother, who had been called from childhood to adulthood, was thinking about his own life at this time, and he didn't seem to hear his words.

The word worry should have happened to Xi Yuanxiu for the first time, even when he was in Lao Sun's gambling house that day, when his head might move at any time, he was not as worried as he is now.

It may be that his own life was still in his own hands that day, but now, Xi Yuanxiu doesn't know how many people his life is in his hands.

In the hands of Xu Lai, in the hands of Xue Luping, in the hands of the person in the capital, or in the hands of the person he has been waiting for?

However, the current Xi Yuanxiu, although his life is in the hands of others, but other things, Xi Yuanxiu understands a little!

His father was imprisoned seven years ago, and he must have been killed by a traitor, although he and Zhao Enzheng have investigated for so many years, but there is no result, but with the red tide, a bunch of corrupt officials and corrupt officials have come out!

This also makes Zhao Enzheng now sitting more and more firmly in the DPRK!

And today, from Xue Luping's mouth, after learning the secret of Li Anping's death in battle, Xi Yuanxiu knew that his father was not just because of his high merits and power, but because of the decision to change the situation on the battlefield!

In the eyes of outsiders, it was the scorching battle of the Eastern Crusade, but it became a thorn in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, because of the matter of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, it was not necessary to send the prince there, but Li Anping went and died in battle!

Although I learned from Xue Luping's mouth that it was the eldest prince who took the initiative to ask Ying to stop the enemy army, but the boss was Xi Fang after all, and this could not be changed after all!

Xi Yuanxiu couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty the Emperor's patience was really beyond his expectations.

In order for his father to help him manage the government affairs, implement the new policy, and appease the people of the former dynasty in Qingyang and Yangzhou, he waited so long before he decided to pull out the thorn in his heart.

Now he has locked Xi Fang in prison for the sake of the stability of the government and the opposition, not only winning the reputation of a generous and benevolent monarch, but also being able to see Xi Fang die in prison with his own eyes, Emperor Jing deserves to be called Emperor Jing!

Liu Xiao pulled Xi Yuanxiu's sleeve to bring him back to his senses, but Xi Yuanxiu was actually able to do two things, and remembered what Li Yuanhuan had just asked him.

"My father once said that someone wanted to collect the corpses of lieutenant generals on the battlefield back then, but he was ordered to stop them, because it would delay the fighter, and said that the person who proposed this proposal might as well unload his armor and return to the field, presumably this person is Xue Luping!"

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the bench where Xue Luping had sat just now and said.

Li Yuanhuan also looked at the bench, and said with a gloomy expression: "Uncle did it right back then, the march and battle pay attention to the nobility and speed of the soldiers, and those dead soldiers should be buried on the spot, although some of the living soldiers in the army are chilling!" ”

The battle of Yangzhou was a great victory that year, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army was about to go north to Qingzhou, but outside the gate of Yangzhou, Xue Luping was not only said by Xi Fang to be a person who did not know the general situation, but could only watch those people he personally brought out from Liangzhou be burned to ashes by the raging fire in the fire pit full of corpses.

"In that matter, he does look pitiful, but this is not the reason why he is now in Yangzhou and conniving at those officials and the people!"

Xi Yuanxiu remembered that when he first saw Xue Lu, the mountain of folds on the table was all handed over to the capital by the people of Yangzhou, and most of the things written on it were about officials from all over the country trying their best to deduct the people's taxes.

However, they were all pressed down by this Xue prefect, and like the Xue family who died in Yangzhou, they were also filled into the fire pit and burned to ashes.

Li Yuanhuan asked with some doubts: "Since this king was crowned prince, he has been taking care of the tax affairs of various places, but over the years, there has been no shortage of catties and two catties in Yangzhou!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu looked like he had taught Li Yuanhuan a few people to read and write when he was a child, and said with a smile: "Then Xue Luping naturally won't go to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, because he knows the suffering of those people, but he knows that he can't control those officials, after all, a corrupt official goes down, and another corrupt official comes up, so he only takes it from these wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, and then makes up for it in the tax escorted by the mighty dart bureau, and he can still leave a lot of benefits!" ”

Bian Ying didn't know what to say about this Lord Xue at the moment, he was indeed pitiful, but he was indeed hateful.

He slowly wiped Li Yuanhuan's tired face with a wet towel on the side.

Li Yuanhuan smiled at Bian Ying, took the wet towel in Bian Ying's hand, wiped it himself, and motioned for him to rest.

Liu Xiao looked at what Bian Ying had just done, and he learned it himself, because he felt that if he didn't do something now, he seemed to be estranged from these three people.

He took a rag in his hand, dipped it in the sewage, walked up to Xi Yuanxiu, and said softly: "Brother Xiu, or you..."

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the dirtier thing than a rag in Liu Xiao's hand, raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Liu Xiao like Li Yuanhuan did on his side.

Liu Xiao also smiled at him, but soon the smile on Liu Xiao's face stopped abruptly, because Xi Yuanxiu stuffed the rag stained with sewage into his mouth.

At this moment in the cell, except for the vomiting sound of Liu Xiao squatting in the corner, only the laughter of the three people was left.

......

......

At noon, a few people in this wet and cold vegetable room finally waited for the guy's reply.

Zhou Wenbin opened the note sent by the man and saw that it read, "The prince should enter the city at the right time."

"It's not time..."

Cao Cheng, who was already able to stand up slowly, also saw what was written on the paper and couldn't help muttering in his mouth.

Zhou Wenbin rubbed the note with his hand, and suddenly said: "Look at my memory, the origami that Xu Shaoxia gave me has not been sent to Master Xi yet, this matter must not be delayed, I have to find a way to send it to him!" ”

He glanced at Cao Cheng, shook his head, glanced at his entourage, and shook his head again, he saw those dishes piled up together, and he suddenly had an idea!

......

......

A cart full of vegetables was slowly pushed out of the backyard of Guangxing Building, and the two people in the cart blocked their heads with cloths, looking like an unmarried woman in Xiliang back then.

"My lord, are you sure that no one like us will find out?"

Zhou Wenbin's attendant asked, pointing to the thick linen cloth on his head.

Zhou Wenbin stopped, leaned on the cart, took a few breaths, and replied in a low voice: "Don't talk too much, take advantage of the lack of people now, and quickly push it to the Yangzhou Mansion!" ”

At this time, in the pile of vegetables on the cart, Cao Cheng's voice came out.

"Lord Zhou is right, don't talk too much, hurry up and push the cart, my mouth is about to touch this kid's teeth!"

Zhou Wenbin's idea was to pretend to be a vegetable farmer who delivered vegetables to the Yangzhou Mansion, and took the opportunity to enter the prison of the Mansion and personally deliver the origami to Xi Yuanxiu.

Moreover, before leaving, Zhou Wenbin also instructed the guy in Guangxinglou that if he saw the prince, he would invite him to go to Yangzhou Mansion.

The people in Tsing Yi on a rainy night were sitting on the highest floor of Guangxing Building at the moment, watching Zhou Wenbin and the others go towards the Yangzhou Mansion.

About three quarters of an hour later, the man in Tsing Yi called a fellow and stuffed him with some scattered silver taels and a letter with undried ink!
