Coming out of Zuo Liangyu's house, Li Shuangxi was in a good mood, but his father-in-law Shi Kefa's mood was the opposite. Regarding the proposal to send troops to the 'Qingjun side', Zuo Liangyu's attitude has always been swaying from side to side, making it difficult to guess what he really thinks in his heart.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and Li Shuangxi's sedan chair followed behind Shi Kefa, and slowly walked towards the Shi family's mansion, speechless all the way.

Lift the side of the car curtain, Yangzhou Street on the bustle and prosperity in front of you. Exactly: 'The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me?' The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is the easiest to make people miss their hometown unconsciously.

Vaguely, Li Shuangxi always felt that someone was not far away, following behind their official sedan chair.

He slowly stuck his head out, turned his head sharply, and a figure flashed by, hiding behind a tree. Li Shuangxi has no impression of this figure, and he shouldn't be a very familiar person.

He slowly retracted his head into the sedan chair, took out a small round mirror, slightly opened a slit in the side curtain, and from the reflection of the mirror, an unkempt 'beggar' appeared.

There are more and more beggars of this kind in Yangzhou City, and most of them are Han people who fled from the cities occupied by the Qing soldiers. Looking closely, although this beggar's coat is ragged, it should not be a fabric that ordinary people can afford to wear, and with that still slightly chubby figure, it gives people the feeling that 'he should have been a rich lord before.' ’

"Old butler, go and give the beggar in the back a little bit of silver, so that he will not follow us anymore."

The old butler who followed the sedan chair glanced back at the back.

"Uncle, leave him alone, this guy is a madman, these days, he is at the gate of our yard every day, clamoring to see the master, the master has sent him a few times with money, and he still doesn't want to leave."

"Did he say anything?"

"He, he said that he knew the whereabouts of the third prince Zhu. I want the master to send troops to rescue him. ”

'Third Prince Zhu? This can be Li Shuangxi frightened, when Li Chuang Wang invaded the city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the general trend has gone, so he wanted to hang himself, because he was worried that his family would be humiliated, before he died, he arranged a family suicide tragedy.

The fifteen-year-old Princess Changping was cut off by his left arm with a sword, and then he killed dozens of concubines. However, before Emperor Chongzhen slaughtered his family members, he summoned his three princes into the palace, ordered them to change into the clothes of ordinary people, and escaped from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos, and at the same time told them: If they survive, they must restore Sheji. Then he ordered them to be sent out of the palace. Who knows, as soon as the three princes left the palace, they were captured by Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and then taken to Shanhaiguan to fight with Wu Sangui, after the defeat of Shanhaiguan, the Dashun army was defeated like a mountain, and the prince also disappeared in the chaos. Even in modern times, where the 'Third Prince Zhu' went, and whether he died or lived, is a mystery in history.

"Old butler, you go back first, and I'll talk to this madman." Li Shuangxi suddenly had an impulse to learn about history, and urgently ordered the sedan car to stop. He wanted to hear what the man was going to say.

"Uncle, don't get involved, the master said that whoever mentions 'Third Prince Zhu' now is killing himself, and the emperor and Ma Shiying will definitely kill him."

The old butler whispered in Li Shuangxi's ear.

"It's okay, you go back first, I'll persuade him, lest he keep following the master, how ugly."

"Yes, then, uncle, you should be careful."

"Got it, you talk to the old lady, I'll go back when I go."

The sedan chair stopped, Li Shuangxi walked down, and then looked behind, the beggar also stopped and looked at him from a distance.

"Old butler, you go first."

Li Shuangxi said as he walked towards the beggar.

I found a small winery, asked for a private room, ordered a few side dishes, and the guy went out and closed the door. The beggar ate frantically, and it was evident that he had not eaten enough for some time.

"Would you like to order a few more dishes?" Seeing the beggar's windswept way of eating, Li Shuangxi couldn't help asking.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm a little rude today, but I'm not blowing with you, I think I followed the prince and ate in the palace, which is like these..."

"You really followed the prince." Li Shuangxi looked at him, obviously unable to believe it.

"Li Gongzi, I was the companion of the prince's study back then, where have I never been in the palace? I haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas. Seeing that Li Shuangxi didn't believe too much in his identity, the beggar was a little anxious.

"So where has the prince gone now? You know? ”

"Of course I do. After the prince escaped from Shanhaiguan, he came all the way to me. ”

"Looking for you?"

"Yes, what do you think, the civil and military officials in the palace, the emperor's relatives and relatives, who else dare to go to? Who would dare to take him in. He only came to me, so I persuaded him to come here to find Master Shi. After all, this is still our Ming territory. Who knows..."

"What's wrong?" When it came to the key position, the companion suddenly stopped talking.

"This—" His hands began to rub together vigorously, as if it would take a lot of courage to continue.

'Bang', Li Shuangxi took out a large amount of silver from his arms and put it on the dining table.

"Li Gongzi, you also know that although our family's original family background was not bad, it has now been ruined by the Qing soldiers. This is also what the prince said, you will give me a heavy reward, and I have come from a long distance. The companion looked at the silver on the table, and continued to speak.

"You said it first, I'll go back and check it, if it's true, I will naturally give you a heavy reward."

Li Shuangxi followed his father-in-law in the officialdom for a period of time, and he was already able to deal with this situation with ease.

Seeing that Li Shuangxi had no intention of taking out any more silver, the companion could only reluctantly put the silver on the table into his arms first.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

The companion can read cheaply, but he still looks reluctant to say. Now Li Shuangxi is annoying, he hates villains of such forces the most.

"You have to make it clear, only I am willing to listen to you here, if you don't say it again, believe it or not, I will kill you with a sword."

Li Shuangxi stood up as he spoke, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"General Li, don't get excited, do you think I don't know who you are? I came out of the Imperial Palace in the capital. You said, if you let Master Shi know your identity, I'm afraid that you, the son-in-law of the Shi family, will not have a good time. ”

The companion still had a rogue expression on his face, and seemed to be determined by Li Shuangxi. And the three words 'General Li' have shocked Li Shuangxi.
