Chapter 538: The Tree Falls Down

As soon as Du Du's words came out, the crying of everyone in the room suddenly became much quieter. The crowd wept for a while, and then began to act separately as Du Du said.

Jing Guda took Du Erhu, both of them changed into civilian clothes, and after taking the jade pendant of Anping Belle Dudu, they left home and walked to the Xianwang ironware shop in the west of Shengjing City, not far from the west gate.

Along the way, the master and servant both had heavy faces and had nothing to say on the road. In addition, the weather is cold, the cold wind is like a knife, and the two people who are cowering are very lonely in their backs.

After a short time, the two came to the outside of the ironsmith shop, and before they could enter, Du Erhu immediately saw a familiar figure coming out of the ironsmith shop.

Isn't this fat, muscular man with two thick beards the eldest son of Deg, the former Blue Banner Banner Owner who died of a violent illness several years ago?

How did he get here?

Moreover, this Dirksik did not bring an entourage, and wore an ordinary cotton robe and jacket, which was no different from an ordinary merchant.

"Cousin! Why are you here today? Duerhu didn't even think about it, and immediately greeted Dirk.

Dexik, who was traveling in simple clothes, was originally to avoid people's eyes, but when he heard someone call him, he couldn't help but look shocked, he turned his head to look, but saw that it was his cousin Du Erhu greeting him, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Du Erhu actually guessed the intention of Dirk's intention, and for a while, he regretted his words a little, but now that the two had met, they had to force a smile.

Alas, I didn't expect that the children of the clan of the Qing Empire, by now, were actually scattered, and they began to give themselves a way to escape.

Such a scene is really a little unspeakably sad and awkward.

"It turned out to be a cousin, this, I have nothing to do today, passing by here, and I have an old relationship with the shopkeeper of this iron shop, so I went in and chatted with him, you are here today, but what is the matter?" Dirk looked unnatural, but he was still reluctantly snorting haha.

“…… Well, this ......" Du Erhu was thin-skinned, and he didn't know how to take over for a while.

On the other hand, Jing Guda on the side, who was an old man, saw that Du Erhu couldn't answer, and knew that he must be ashamed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. So, Jing Guda put a smile on his face, bowed forward, and said to Dexik: "Lord Belle, no, my lord is seriously ill in bed, and I want to worry more about the young master, so that he can take more care of the livelihood in the house, so that I can bring him here and get to know the shopkeepers who have been supplying my house?" Coincidentally, I didn't expect to be in this Xianwang ironware shop, this Hao shopkeeper hasn't seen it yet, but I don't want to meet Lord Baylor here, if you dare to love Lord Baylor if you are not busy, you can wait with me to enter Anping Baylor Mansion and sit down for a while? ”

Dexik saw that although Jing Guda answered without leaking, his face was full of unnatural expressions, and he didn't feel a secret laugh in his heart, but he didn't want to break him, but he just replied with a smile: "No need, I still have something at home, and I'm about to rush back." But I don't know that my cousin Anping Baylor is in good condition now? ”

Du Erhu looked depressed and embarrassed, and was thinking about how to answer, Jing Guda on the side had already taken the lead in answering: "My lord Baylor, although he has been suffering for a long time, has recovered a lot now, and he will not be able to do it in a few days. ”

Dixik sighed, nodded again and again, and said with a very unnatural expression on his face: "That's good, that's good, when I'm free in a few days, I'll go to the house to visit my cousin." ”

Then, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then parted ways.

Looking at the back of Dirk disappearing into the cold wind, Du Erhu's face was lonely, and his heart was full of infinite sadness.

The two opened the thick windshield curtain, and when they entered the iron shop, a man nodded and greeted them.

"Two guest officers, if you want to buy some ironware, feel free to take a look at ......" The guy said this, and suddenly saw Jing Guda's face clearly, so he sighed, and immediately said: "Yo, isn't this the Jing Guda butler of Anping Baylor, looking at the villain's clumsiness." On such a cold day, why did you come in person, you want to buy a lot of ironware, just send a guy to do business, or we can send you to the house......"

Jing Guda waved his hand, interrupted his polite words, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Er, I came here, but I have something important to see your shopkeeper, where is the other person, take me to see him quickly." ”

The man hurriedly said, "My shopkeeper is cooking a fire upstairs, so I'll take the two of you to meet him." ”

After the man finished speaking, he immediately took Jingguda and Alhu into the back hall, and then went upstairs. The two went upstairs, but saw that in the wide hall, there was a large pot of warm charcoal fire, and the shopkeeper Hao was engrossed in counting the four-pillar account books with a tent room.

"The shopkeeper, the steward of Jingguda in the Anping Baylor Mansion, came to look for you."

After listening to the man's clothes, the short and fat, but shrewd look of the shopkeeper Hao Zeren raised his head, just in time to see the housekeeper Jing Guda next to the guy, and the serious and worried look, Du Du's eldest son Du Erhu.

Hao Zeren frowned slightly, and he had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart about the intention of the two, but his face was silent, but he whispered to the tent room, asking him and the guy to retreat first.

Subsequently, in a huge hall, only Hao Zeren, Jing Guda, and Du Erhu were among them, and the three of them immediately shared the seats of guests and sat around the brazier.

Hao Zeren had been to Anping Baylor Mansion many times, and was familiar with Jingguda and Dudu's eldest son, Du Erhu, so he saluted them affectionately and beckoned them to sit down.

Du Erhu, who is the eldest son of Du Du, saw this Hao Zeren, who was like a subordinate in the past, and now he is sitting on an equal footing with himself here, and for a while, his heart is mixed again.

People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, perhaps, the kind of pampered young master life, I'm afraid there will never be again. From now on, I must start a new life of self-reliance.

After sitting down, Jing Guda didn't say a word, first took out Du Du's jade pendant and solemnly handed it to Hao Zeren.

"Shopkeeper Hao, this is my master's jade pendant, and now I will give this thing to Shopkeeper Hao, seeing things like people, Shopkeeper Hao, you recognize it."

Seeing the precious jade pendant that was handed over and transparent, engraved with Du Du's name, Hao Zeren was not surprised, and he hurriedly shirked it and said: "This is the jade pendant that Anping Belle carries with him, of course the villain knows, how can you give such a valuable thing to the villain, how can you give such a valuable thing to the villain, how can this be made, don't torture the villain." ”

Seeing that he shirked it, Jing Guda resolutely handed the jade pendant to Hao Zeren, and said at the same time: "Shopkeeper Hao, I also told the truth, this time I brought the young master of Duerhu to find you, but I did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but on the order of Anping Baylor, there is a major matter, and I want to ask the shopkeeper Hao for help." ”

Hao Zeren's heart was happy, he had already guessed what Jing Guda was going to say next, but on the surface, he pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on? What is it that makes Steward Jingguda so solemn, and gives such a precious jade pendant to the villain, and I hope that Steward Jinguda will tell him the truth. ”

"No, this matter is extremely important, you accept this jade pendant first, and then we will talk about it, this is also what the master meant." Jing Guda's attitude was very resolute, and he still handed the jade pendant to Hao Zeren strongly.

Seeing that Jing Guda was so resolute, Hao Zeren's heart was indescribably happy, but on the surface he still looked reluctant, and he said sneeringly: "Lord Baylor is really too tormented, even so, this jade pendant is under the power and accepted, it should be kept for Anping Baylor." Then what is the important matter of the steward Jingguda, but please make it clear to me. “

Jing Guda sighed, and no longer hid anything, he kept sighing, and at the same time briefly said Du Du's original words to Hao Zeren.

After listening to Jing Guda's words, Hao Zeren's eyes were already full of complicated colors, and his face also showed an extremely difficult expression.

Seeing Hao Zeren's embarrassed look, Du Erhu, who had little experience, was also embarrassed on his face, and he sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't know how difficult it was to ask someone to do things in his own mansion, and the current situation made him understand that if he, the inheritor of the title of Anping Baylor, the eldest son and eldest young master in this mansion, lost the aura of the family and the title, perhaps, it would be nothing.

Just when Du Erhu secretly said that things might be difficult to do, Jing Guda, the housekeeper on the side, after saying this, was also embarrassed, and his eyes were already slightly tearful, and he said to Hao Zeren in a trembling voice: "Shopkeeper Hao, I will tell the truth, my lord has always been strong and resolute, and he doesn't like to ask for people, so he has been repeatedly hit in the court, and he has not been able to mix. Today, I was sent to bring the young master over and talk about the difficulties, which can be said to be at the end of the road. “

Hao Zeren sneered in his heart, but his face was full of emotion, he sighed lightly and said: "Alas, Steward Jing Guda, what you said, how can I, Hao, not understand, this person is in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have a catastrophe." This Anping Baylor also had kindness to Hao in the past, Hao was not a ruthless person, he was favored by him, and he was entrusted by him, how dare he not take good care of the three sons. In this way, Hao Mou also put his words here, even if this matter is difficult to do, Hao Mou will definitely try to find a way to send the three sons out of Qingjing as soon as possible and go to Master Li. ”

Seeing that Hao Zeren was so benevolent and cheerful, and did not embarrass himself, Jing Guda let out a sigh of relief, and asked urgently: "Then I have thanked the shopkeeper Hao for my master, dare to ask the shopkeeper Hao, how long will it take to get news?" ”

Hao Zeren pondered for a moment, and replied categorically: "Three days, within three days, there will definitely be news, and I will send a guy to contact you." ”

Jing Guda's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, then please ask Shopkeeper Hao, then in the past few days, I will order someone to hurry up and take care of the luggage and goods, and I will wait for the good news of Shopkeeper Hao at any time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he gestured to Alhu to express his gratitude to Hao Zeren with his eyes, Alhu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you Shopkeeper Hao for extending this hand, sir's kindness, for my family, it is really a charcoal in the snow, and when I arrive in Mingjing, I will have another heavy thanks......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hao Zeren waving his hand, Hao Zeren smiled and said: "Young Master Du Erhu don't have to be polite, you can go to my family in time anyway, Master Li, but you still have the courage and vision." My family Master Li has always been broad-minded, tolerant of all rivers, and honest with those who are sincere, if Hao can help, he will definitely do his best. ”

After getting Hao Zeren's assurance, Du Erhu and Jing Guda were both happy, and then, Hao Zeren and Jing Guda chatted for a while before leaving.

Personally sent to the door, looking at the figures of Jing Guda and Ben Erhu who disappeared on the street corner, a sneer flashed on Hao Zeren's face.

Then he returned upstairs, sat down by the brazier, and was taking out Nadudu's jade pendant to look at it carefully, when the bookkeeper came quietly.

The two looked at each other and laughed unconsciously.

The tent clerk sighed: "Alas, I can't imagine it, that Dexik, and this Dudu, the two Aixin Jueluo clans, they don't have the slightest idea of serving the country and dying with the country, but they want to take advantage of our relationship and flee the Qing Dynasty in a hurry, which is enough to make people's teeth cold." ”

Hao Zeren chuckled, shook his head and said, "You, why are you still worried about the enemy." The more turbulent the Qing Dynasty is, the more the clan flees, the more beneficial it is for Lord Li, and you don't want to think about it, our Lord Li, after nearly ten years of development, finally got this opportunity to cause great turmoil in the Qing Dynasty, and should take advantage of it. And the clans and people of the Qing Dynasty, the more they flee to the Ming Realm, the more they will help our future development, and the blow to the Qing Dynasty will become more and more miserable. ”

The bookkeeper smiled and said, "Then Shopkeeper Hao, can you plan to take Du Du and them all to Shandong?" This road is closely guarded, and we are afraid that our ability is not enough. ”

Hao Zeren sneered: "You think too much, haven't you heard of the Doumi people being promoted to rice enemies, we just need to transport them away from the sect disciples who want to escape, and the rest of the people in the house, we don't have to worry about that." Not to mention that we do not yet have the ability to transport all the people in their government, and even if we do, we cannot agree to them. After all, the more this is the case, the more precious it is that this opportunity to flee is very precious, and the more they can make them feel grateful to Dade. You must know that arranging these children of the Aixin Jueluo clan under the rule of Lord Li and in the hands of our Tang Army is a major blow to the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. Think about it, even the clan of Aixin Jueluo has constantly defected, what centripetal force is there in this Qing Empire, it is falling apart, and it should be waited for. ”

Hao Zeren paused and replied: "In two days, we will contact the headquarters of the Security Division, and then send someone to contact the two families of Dekesik and Dudu, pick up the clan personnel from their families, and go all the way south to Yingkou, from where they will board our army's smuggling boats, and then withdraw to Shandong from there." ”

The bookkeeper smiled: "Okay, okay, or the shopkeeper Hao thinks far-reaching, then let's do it." ”
