Chapter 136: A Game Within a Game (Part II)
Under Zhang Ling's calculations, Wu Yi learned the true identity of the five princes from Zhang Haikou.
"Miss Wu, Zhang really shouldn't say anything about this matter casually, Miss Wu, can you not tell the fifth prince that I said something leaked?" Zhang Hai said deeply: "Miss Wu, Zhang is a businessman, if the fifth prince knows that I have revealed his identity, I am afraid he will blame me." Miss Wu, the prince is angry, I'm a businessman, but I can't bear it. ”
"Miss Wu? Miss Wu? ”
Zhang Hai saw that Wu Yi's mouth was slightly open, and there was no sign of returning to his senses at all.
Zhang Hai thought to himself: Zhang Ling's guess is indeed good, and he must brainwash Wu Yi quickly.
"Did Miss Wu just get scared? Miss Wu's kidnappers, does Miss Wu know who they are? ”
Wu Yi shook his head mechanically, "I don't know, I didn't see it." ”
"That'...... Is Miss Wu going back now? ”
Wu Yi nodded mechanically, but Zhang Hai had already changed his course, "But I see Miss Zhang like this, I really can't rest assured, this ......" Zhang Hai looked around, "It's still a bit remote here, there is no one on the road, and it's quite far from the county government." Oh, otherwise, if Miss Wu doesn't mind, I'll send you back. ”
"The owner, Shopkeeper Liu is still waiting for you, those goods must be sent out today, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the delivery date."
Wu Yi finally came back to his senses, "Boss Zhang, you don't need to send me if you have something, I'll just go by myself." ”
Wu Yi just took a step out, his legs were weak and he stumbled a little.
Zhang Hai hurriedly helped Wu Yi, "Miss Wu, oh, you're like this, I'm really not at ease." Although I am a businessman, I can't let Miss Wu walk down the street like this, if something happens to you, I will die of guilt. Miss Wu, Miss Wu, it's better to be like this, this place is actually very close to my house, why don't Miss Wu go to my house and sit for a while, wait for you to slow down, and then it's not too late to go back. ”
Wu Yi was tired on his feet, and his heart was very chaotic, so he unconsciously agreed to Zhang Hai's proposal.
——
"Miss Wu, I'm really embarrassed, I am entangled in mundane things, and I neglected Miss Wu."
Wu Yi drank the hot tea brought by the maid, and after her stomach was warm, she regained her strength, and before she had time to think, Zhang Hai came to her side.
"Boss Zhang." Wu Yi stood up, "What's Boss Zhang, I have to thank Boss Zhang for saving me." ”
After Zhang Hai sat down, he also motioned for Wu Yi to sit down, "Miss Wu, there is good news, that is, my people have caught one of your kidnappers."
And one more bad news, well... That is, those who kidnapped you seem to have something to do with the government......
This, I just don't know how Miss Wu provoked the official? Zhang Hai lowered his head and touched his chin, pretending to be suspicious, "If you want to say that you shouldn't, you are a member of the Fifth Prince, who dares to be rude to you?" Why don't we call the kidnapper in and ask? ”
Wu Yi was confused, and naturally wanted to know why the man had kidnapped him.
The kidnappers were very arrogant at first, and when it came to the government, he would be safe and sound.
Zhang Hai whispered Wu Yi out, and entered the inner room from the next room, so that he could see this place clearly.
"There was a girl here just now, and it was inconvenient for me to do anything to you, but now, if you fall into my hands, even if I kill you, I will report to the police that you kidnapped others, and in the process of saving people, you resisted desperately, and unfortunately died. Not only will the prefectural magistrate not pursue me, but he will also reward me for drawing a sword to help me when I see injustice. And you, go and die! ”
"You dare!" The kidnappers were tied up with five flowers, but they held their chests tall and looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zhang Hai took off the sword hanging on the wall, stabbed it fiercely, and when the tip of the sword was about to touch the kidnapper's throat, the kidnapper shouted, "I am the county commander's person!" ”
"You? You say you're a prefectural magistrate? ”
"Hmph, are you scared? It's good to know that you're afraid, and if you know you're afraid, let me go and spare you from death! ”
Zhang Hai hesitated to look at Wu Yi standing behind the door, and said: "You still dare to pretend to be someone from the county government, don't you know, the woman you kidnapped is the miscellaneous servant of the county government." ”
"She's a handyman of the county government, and I'm the secret guard of the adults! I am instructed to do so, you little businessman do not meddle! ”
Zhang Hai hesitated and walked out of the room and into the room where Wu Yi was. "Miss Wu, do you recognize him? Is he the secret guard of the Five Princes? ”
"Dark Guard?" Wu Yi's mind was a mess, "I don't know him, but, but I seem to have heard of some secret guards." ”
"Then I'll go in and ask him, why did the fifth prince kidnap you? Have you offended the Five Princes recently? Miss Wu, it's not that Zhang is afraid of things, but Zhang must ask clearly, if it is a matter between your master and servant, I really can't say anything. ”
Wu Yi shook his head, "I didn't offend my lord, I've worked very hard." Wu Yi's tears broke again, "He has always bullied me, how can I offend him." ”
Wu Yi whimpered, "He also said that he asked me to go back to the capital with him, but he didn't even tell me that he was the prince, so when I arrived in the capital, wouldn't I want to be a palace maid in the palace?" What should I do if the eunuch bullied me? ”
The more Wu Yi thought about it, the more sad he became, "He also said that his mother had a bad temper, it turned out that it was the queen mother who had a bad temper, so if I make the queen mother angry, what should the queen mother do if she wants to beat me to death?" ”
"He also said that he would intercede for me once, so I will cause trouble every day, what will I do in the future? Did he just want to trick me into going to the palace, and then watch me being beaten to death and tortured to death by others? Dead Lord Zhou, I know that you are uneasy and kind! ”
"Wu Yi, Wu Yi."
"Boss Zhang, why did you say that Lord Zhou kidnapped me, is he afraid that if I know that he is a prince and will not go to the capital, he will not be able to ask the eunuchs to bully me and torture me? So you sent someone to tie me up?
Boss Zhang, let me tell you, I have been to the capital once, far away. If I had been tied up, I wouldn't have died on the road?! ”
"Wu Yi, I don't think he kidnapped you to let you be a palace maid, right? There must be other reasons. ”
Zhang Hai suddenly looked at Wu Yi, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything more.
"Boss Zhang? Did you think of something? ”
"Oh no, no, no." Zhang Hai hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, but soon felt uneasy in his heart, "Miss Wu, alas, ......" Zhang Hai made a fist with one hand and a palm with the other, and smashed his fist on the palm, "Actually, there are some words, I really don't vomit and feel unhappy!" When did their princes and grandsons put the lives of our small people in their eyes, today, Miss Wu was kidnapped on the street, and tomorrow, she may lose her life, I don't know what it is for! ”
"Boss Zhang, what do you mean?"
"This ...... Well...... this."
"Boss Zhang?"
"Forget it, I'll let it go! Miss Wu, didn't I tell you before, I have some forces in Beijing, and the three princes...... This, you know. ”
"I think I've heard you say that."
"Alas...... You might as well make it clear to Miss Wu that I was sent by the third prince to Huizhou to collect money. At first, I thought that Lord Zhou was sent by other princes, but who knew that when I investigated, he was actually a prince.
Last time, the fifth prince detained my goods, and I confronted him, but guess what he said?
'This Huizhou is the deer competition ground between me and the three princes, and the people who win Huizhou will definitely be able to stay in the East Palace. ’
I only knew at that time that he was actually the fifth prince, and it was at that time that I learned that the prince who was high up in the sky treated us like ants. ”
"Boss Zhang, you said Lord Zhou, no, you said that the five princes came to Huizhou to stay in the East Palace? Then, wasn't the crown prince chosen by His Majesty the Emperor? He, how did he ......"
"Miss Wu grew up in the people and didn't know about the imperial court, so it was not surprising.
The position of the crown prince is naturally a matter of heaven, and no one else is allowed to put his beak in it. But there are not no people who can influence the emperor's will.
And my master, the third prince, the biggest support behind her is Concubine Li Guifei, although she is not the queen, she received the emperor's favor, and the three princes are also very favored.
But the fifth prince is a son-in-law, his mother is the queen of the Great Zhou, and his grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty. And now, he is the top student in high school, and he has firmly grasped the position of Huishang in his hands, and the position of prince is within reach. ”
When Wu Yi heard this, he remembered what Zhou Qi said to him that day, it turned out that what he said about the complicated family was really complicated.
"Boss Zhang, why did those people kidnap me?"
"Miss Wu doesn't know that these dignitaries and dignitaries do everything to achieve their goals. These five princes kidnapped you for no reason, there must be some ulterior motives, after all, you have already promised him to go to the capital, and he must have something wrong with this extra move! ”
"Why is that?"
Zhang Hai touched his chin and analyzed: "The fifth prince's biggest enemy now is the third prince, he is kidnapping you now, is he trying to... No, no, no, this is too insidious, the five princes shouldn't. ”
"What? Boss Zhang, tell me quickly, what do you think of? ”
Zhang Hai was embarrassed, but he still said: "The whole Huizhou knows that you are the person of the five princes, if something happens to you, then the first one to be suspected is the third prince, I think, could it be that the five princes kidnap you and then frame the three princes?" Oh, it's so dangerous, if he really plans to do so, I'm in Huizhou City now, but I'm the first to bear the brunt. You don't know, I've been really walking on thin ice lately, you must know that coming to Huizhou will be involved in the battle between the two princes, and I won't come to kill you! Alas, you also know that a few days ago, the fifth prince detained my goods for no reason, causing me to delay the delivery date, and suffered in vain. Zhang Hai wiped his empty head, "But now that I know his identity, I naturally don't dare to provoke him, so I will go back to the capital and stop doing business." ”
Wu Yi was furious, "Death Lord Zhou!" ”
"Wu Yi, don't be angry first, I guessed all this."
Wu Yi was furious, rushed into the front hall, beat the kidnapper, and told Zhang Hai's reasoning, questioning the kidnapper face to face, of course, the kidnapper pushed the boat down the river, Wu Yi was speechless angrily.
She thought of it so many times, Zhou Kai turned his face and didn't recognize people, and played her around.
Wu Yidou's big tears fell on the ground, and the winter in Huizhou seemed to be extremely cold.
"Miss Zhang, don't do this, I, you must know this, it's good that I saved you, I shouldn't have sent someone to catch the kidnappers, let alone tell you my speculation."
"It's none of your business, it's the fifth prince who thinks I'm too stupid, so I'll use it."
