Chapter 16 Knowing too many secrets usually doesn't last long
For Hu Zhou, the sudden visit of Mrs. Wang two days ago was just a small episode. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Let Li Zhi go to the crowd to inquire, when today's son is not in his twilight years, he has not yet established a prince. The fiercest party struggle is between the eldest prince and the third prince. Regarding the partisan relationship in the imperial court, most of the people agree, and those who want to be in the limelight will make some bold guesses that are shocking. Faced with this pile of confusion that I don't know how many hands have passed, or how much oil and vinegar has been added, Hu Zhou can't analyze how ugly he is.
I don't know if Zhu Qian has the mind that a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good cook, and I don't know how Xu Cheng planned Hu Zhou, who plans to reduce the intersection with him.
Except for the uninvited arrival of the matchmaker that day, no one has ever come to this house. Under Li Zhi's intentions, the gray walls were repaired, and new green was added to the house. Exuberant.
Mu Qian still went to find clues every time, but he didn't have many clues for the time being, but he was very busy when he came out and came out.
Hu Zhou counted the words and came to the ground again.
I hadn't eaten for two days in a row, and the "wild man" in the underground looked a little weak. just looked at Li Zhi and Hu Zhou, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The straw laid on the ground was replaced with a new one, and his hair and beard were shaved off with a knife by Li Zhi. The fresh scars left on his head and face show that Li Zhi is not skilled in this aspect of work.
There was no unpleasant smell, and Hu Zhou moved a stool down. Now sitting across from him, the old story comes up, "Who are you?" ”
The answer was still a low roar.
After receiving the hot tea handed by Li Zhi, Hu Zhou seemed very patient, as if the tea was too hot, squinted his eyes at the entrance of the cave, turned his head and said, "Don't want to go out?"
Another fierce roar.
"No more relatives? Or do your loved ones think you're dead? Don't want to see you again? Hu Zhou continued to ask.
Without roaring, he stared at Hu Zhou, eager to swallow Hu Zhou.
Dipping some water in the bowl, Hu Zhou wrote on the ground, If you cooperate, maybe I can let you out.
Glance. Hu Zhou added in his heart.
Opportunities are like a trail of water that dries up in a moment, and if you can't catch it, it's gone.
"I know you don't believe me. You should be able to feel that I'm different from the people before this house. I don't know what you've sinned against or who you've offended, but if you have any relatives, I can at least take a look at them for you and tell you how they are doing or not. Or, it's for you to go to the pillar incense. In the end, Hu Zhou became more and more hesitant.
Hu Zhou could see the pain and resentment in his eyes.
Not surprisingly, he would stick his finger into the bowl.
Looking at the intermittent strokes in front of him, Chen Qing.
Hu Zhou couldn't help but be satisfied with this start. Just a few words, no clever negotiation skills, just facing a waste man who has been imprisoned for many years, Hu Zhou doesn't know what else to impress him except to try his best to be sincere and sincere about family affection.
Profiteering? It's mostly self-defeating.
"People from the clouds?" Knowing who it is and asking where it is, even if he doesn't speak anymore, he can find out his identity.
The word is slightly more complicated than before, Longtan. Lanzi Qinghu City is a small county on the border. Hu Zhou frowned.
"Who imprisoned you here?" may be regarded as knowingly asking, Hu Zhou's voice is deliberately low.
It's just that the answer is somewhat unexpected, because Chen Qing refers to the book, Ping'an Hou.
Hu Zhou, who has never really cared about the politics of Lanzi, obviously doesn't know who Ping'an Hou is, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Li Zhi to listen to some gossip a few days ago, and he was temporarily crammed.
But it was not Zhu Qian, and it involved the marquis among the five princes, so Hu Zhou was inevitably absent-minded in the next question and answer.
Chen Qing, a native of Longtan County, Qinghu, both parents died, and the fate of his wife and young son was uncertain for more than 20 years. It's just that Hu Zhou asked about the Mixin that year, but Chen Qing didn't say anything, so Hu Zhou didn't mention it again.
When he went out, Hu Zhou hesitated for a long time, and finally did not let Li Zhi break the iron shackles tied to Chen Qing's feet. In front of Chen Qing, he instructed Li Zhi to go to Qinghu City as soon as possible.
When Mu Qian was looking for clues in the treasure map outside, he left some marks in inconspicuous places such as the corners of the wall, hoping to find Liu Gan. It's just that after a few days, Liu Qian didn't find it. Mu Qian didn't know that after Liu Gan's thief faction stole the package, he didn't know what the strip red Nanjing inside was, and the color and texture of the object made them hesitate, and they didn't dare to open it to see.
When I wanted to put this hot potato back in its original place, and steal something else by the way, I happened to run into Hu Zhou and his party out of Luoyuan Lane, and followed them all the way to the front of the Chengmu Mansion.
Thinking that Hu Zhou and the others were here to report to the official, Liu Gan and his gang secretly guessed what important items were in the package, but they saw that Xu Cheng, the city pastor, was accompanying him and went to an ordinary house.
Knowing Xu Cheng's identity, seeing that Hu Zhou lived next to Xu's mansion, Liu Gan, who thought he was in big trouble, lost the package at the moment, and left the clouds overnight to avoid the limelight for the time being.
The two of them missed it by mistake.
Mu Qian noticed that there seemed to be a lot of Central Plains faces on the edge of the clouds, and looking at their dress, they didn't look like people in the martial arts. It's just that these things were quickly forgotten because the treasure map still had no clue.
It was also after the sun set that Mu Qian returned.
Hu Zhou, who never paid attention to food or sleep, said after eating a piece of Dongpo meat: "Ask who this Ping'an Hou is?"
The practice of Dongpo meat was naturally handed over to Li Zhi by Hu Zhou.
After going out for a while, there was suddenly an extra Ping'an Hou, and Mu Qian couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ping'an Marquis Zhou Wenliang is the elder brother of Queen Zhou." It is naturally not difficult to go to the market of ************** and inquire about a marquis. Zhou Wenliang, the eldest brother of Empress Zhou, was named the Marquis of Ping'an, because of his mother's relationship, Zhu Qian wanted to call him his cousin. It's just that there are many rumors that the Marquis of Zhou is mediocre and lingers in wine, but on the contrary, he has little interest in state authority.
"It's an old thing, and it's not useful to ask for a while." Li Zhi continued.
Hu Zhou nodded, "Maybe you can only find clues by going to Longtan." ”
"If he has a grudge with the Marquis of Ping'an, we can't resolve it." Maybe it's Hu Zhou's sentence Maybe I can let you out, Li Zhicai said this.
"I'm worried that it's not all." Thinking that Chen Qing was suddenly tight-lipped halfway through the question, Hu Zhou said in a deep voice. If it is between Chen Qing and Ping'an Hou, Hu Zhou will do his best at best. But if not, only the more you know, the more you can take the initiative.
What's more, how could ordinary people in small border counties intersect with the high-ranking and powerful Hou Ye, Hu Zhou's intuition should not be so simple.
"That wild man underground, has he spoken?" Mu Qian, who had some clues, asked.
"His name is Chen Qing, and it was the Marquis of Ping'an who imprisoned him here, I think Zhu Qian is just helping the elders in the family take care of him." Hu Zhou, who claimed to be selling his life to himself, and did not intend to hide anything, explained.
After pondering for a long time, Mu Qian said cautiously but more exhortatively: "People who know too many secrets usually don't live long."
Just because he bet that Zhu Qian would keep himself, or didn't take into account the face of this Tianzi boy when he gave the reward, he dared to throw such a big hot potato to himself, and he was sure that he would be bound to keep it a secret?
If this is the case, Hu Zhou feels that he has gambled a bit big and lost a little miserably. It was Hu Zhou who said unhappily: "I still want to be a ghost."
