Chapter 102: The Difficult Princess

Ruan Liniang, who had just stepped off the sedan chair and walked into the courtyard, saw Luo Jian hurriedly go out and let him go to the side of the road to bless her, with a disappointed look in her eyes.

Last night, Ruan Dacheng called Li Niang to the front and asked her what her impression of Dadu Governor Luo Jian was, which made Li Niang very embarrassed.

Ruan Dacheng directly told her that he was going to invite someone to protect the media and marry her to the governor of Dadu.

Since Liniang met the Metropolitan Governor a few days ago, she always felt that there was a shadow dangling in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it.

She was smart enough to know that her daughter's marriage could not be the master of her own family, but she was extremely satisfied with being able to marry a hero like the Metropolitan Governor.

already knows that Sister Liulan has a soft spot for the Metropolitan Governor, and this big house doesn't dare to think about it, if she can follow the Metropolitan Governor, Liniang also feels that she can be satisfied.

In the past few days, under the pretext that the matter of the store has to come to the Guogong Mansion every day, I want to take a look at the Metropolitan Governor, but I don't want the Metropolitan Governor to go out these days, and I haven't seen it once.

The little girl gritted her teeth, put her emotions back, and went in to find Liu Lan with a smile on her face.

Luo Jian hurried to Shi Kefa's mansion, and walked directly towards the courtyard without waiting for the next person to report.

When I walked to the courtyard, there was a sedan chair parked in the courtyard, and there were seven or eight palace maids and a group of guards standing next to it.

Seeing this posture, Luo Jian knew that this Princess Changping had come to Shi Kefa's Mansion again.

When Luo Jian walked to the hall, there was a woman in full costume sitting in the middle of the hall, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, although she was very beautiful, but the expression on her face seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life, and she had a maturity that was not commensurate with her peers.

Luo Jian looked at his left arm and saw that the wide sleeves were hanging down, obviously without a left arm.

"Xinghua, come and meet the princess." Shi Kefa saw Luo Jian coming in, and hurriedly got up to introduce him.

"Luo Jian has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Luo Jian stepped forward and said with a fist to Princess Changping.

"Wei Guogong doesn't have to be polite, Wei Guogong, please sit down." Zhu Yujiao raised her right hand lightly and said softly.

Luo Jian walked to the chair and sat down, looking at Princess Changping in front of him.

In fact, Luo Jian was still very sympathetic to the tragic experience of the last princess of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen's sentence: "Why did you give birth to my family!" It contains too many things to say, and it has also aroused countless emotions for future generations.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has suffered, if she arrives in Nanjing, she will be safe, the princess should recuperate well, don't hurt her mind again." Luo Jian opened his mouth and said, but he wanted to persuade Princess Changping from the bottom of his heart.

"I also want to thank Wei Guogong, if it were not for Wei Guogong's public letter to the compatriots of the whole country, this Hanchen in the Manchu court would not have helped Wei Jiao escape from Beijing."

Princess Changping did not call herself "Bengong" or anything like that, but said her own name, at this time, even a woman from an ordinary family would not tell her name to others, let alone a princess.

Obviously, the extremely tragic encounter had made her let go of everything, and the look on the sixteen-year-old girl's face made Luo Jian feel a little sad to see.

"I wonder if the Inspector can inform Wei Guogong of what he said a few days ago?" Seeing that Luo Jian was silent and did not speak, Princess Changping asked again.

"But the princess is talking about the eternal king?"

"Exactly, there is only one such relative left in Yu Jiao now, and I can only ask the Duke of Wei Guo and the Inspector to find it on my behalf, and I am grateful!"

When Princess Changping said this, she actually stood up and walked a few steps to Luo Jian and was about to kneel.

The princess's move surprised Luo Jian, and she habitually held the princess with her hand and didn't let her kneel, and when she looked at it again, the princess was already flushed.

Luo Jian reacted at this time, at this time it was about whether men and women give or not kiss, and hurriedly let go of his hand, making him extremely embarrassed.

"The princess must not be like this, Luo Jian should send someone to look for it." Luo Jian was so anxious that he didn't choose what to say, and quickly agreed.

Hearing Luo Jian say this, the princess stopped, blessed Luo Jian, and said, "I have thanked the Duke of Wei Guo first!" ”

made Luo Jian bow his hand and salute him, and Shi Kefa sat next to him thoughtfully.

"I also hope that the Duke of Wei Guo will secretly send someone to look for it, and don't make a noise, if the emperor and the ministers of the court know, I am afraid that something will happen again." The princess returned to her chair and sat down, and spoke again.

"The princess doesn't have to worry, Luo Jian can save herself."

"I heard in the capital that the Manchu court is now very preferential to Han Chen, and the imperial examination will be reopened in the near future, and its act of buying people's hearts is still very tempting for many Han people, and I hope that the Duke of Weiguo and the superintendent will take precautions as soon as possible."

"And on the way to flee, I also saw that the Manchus were much more restrained than before, and I heard that the Manchu court also punished a few Manchus who seized the land of the common people."

When Luo Jian heard the princess say this, he was secretly surprised, first, he was surprised that the princess was not as simple as he imagined, and second, he was surprised by the rapid change of Manchu policy, it seemed that Dolgon was not so easy to deal with.

In fact, in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had always been skeptical about whether to go south to attack the Southern Ming court, until the Duoduo army went south and found that the Ming army was really vulnerable, so it moved the mind of dominating the world.

Now only in Yangzhou encountered a small setback, its policy was immediately adjusted, it seems that there are still a lot of talents in the Qing court at the beginning of the founding of the country, Luo Jian secretly warned himself in his heart, must not have a contempt for a powerful enemy.

"Brother Xian, I want to rush back to Yangzhou tomorrow, what do you think?" Luo Jian was worried that time was pressing, and he didn't care that the princess was present, so he said to Shi Kefa.

"If Xinghua wants to return to Yangzhou, he has to go to the palace to resign to the emperor first." Shi Kefa said.

"Shall we go together this afternoon? Time is too tight to delay in Nanjing. ”

After Luo Jian finished speaking, he was about to get up and say goodbye, the princess was here, he felt very uncomfortable, and he wanted to leave a long time ago.

When Luo Jian stood up, Princess Changping also stood up, bowed to Luo Jianfu, and said, "Please take the matter of Wei Guogong to heart." ”

"Take it to heart, please rest assured." After Luo Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Inspector, is Wei Guogong so annoying?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Luo Jian walked faster.

Out of the mansion, several guards followed, and Luo Jian asked, "Do you know where Miss Liu's shop is?" ”

Several guards said that they knew, and on Mafu Street, they also said that the market was good, and business would definitely be good in the future.

Luo Jian didn't speak, and led the guards to get into the carriage and go to Mafu Street.

No one noticed that there were a few porters carrying burdens in front of the right side of the gate of the house, so they threw the burdens and followed.

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Jian has been thinking about Princess Changping, according to Shi Kefa's character, knowing that Emperor Chongzhen still has an heir alive, he will definitely do his best to find it, if he is perfunctory, it will definitely make Shi Kefa think more.

It seems that you have to try your best to find it, history records that Yongwang Zhu Cihuan finally went to Zhejiang, and now Zhejiang is still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, if you go to Zhejiang, Zhu Cihuan may go to the government, so there may have been news a long time ago, and the biggest possibility is still in the Manchu occupation area.

The carriage arrived at Mafu Street after a while, got off the carriage, and saw several guards waiting on the side of the street, Luo Jian and the others walked directly towards the shop.

The store is indeed very large, it is divided into two parts, selling men's and women's clothes respectively, the original store decoration is very good, now it is only separated from the fitting room, adding some hangers and the like, and changing a plaque, which is not very troublesome, so Liu Lan is ready to open for trial business today.

Luo Jian looked up in front of the store and saw the "Angel Garment Store" written on the plaque, thinking to himself which store name this was, and he really had to give full play to the role of several people.

When I walked into the men's clothing store, there were really a lot of customers coming in and out, and Liu Lan was not in the men's clothing store. It seems that everyone is very interested in Liu Lan's design of clothes that imitate Tang costumes, Luo Jian stood and looked at it for a while, and saw that several pieces were sold.

When Shopkeeper Liu saw Luo Jian coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask An Shili, and was about to call someone to serve tea and pour water, Luo Jian waved his hand and walked out of the store.

Just stood at the door for a while, Liu Lan and Li Niang walked out of the women's clothing store next door.

"Brother Luo, are you here too? Got things taken care of over there? Liu Lan stepped forward to say hello, Li Niang stepped forward to give Luo Jian a blessing, and retreated behind Liu Lan to look at Luo Jian secretly.

"Brother Luo, is there some trouble in the matter?" Seeing Luo Jian frowning, Liu Lan obviously had something on her mind, so she took a step forward and asked.

Seeing that a customer was about to go to the store, Luo Jian took a step to the side, and was about to answer Liu Lan, when he heard a coquettish voice: "Grandpa Guo, be careful." ”

Luo Jian subconsciously stepped into the side, and the knife in the hand of the guest who was about to enter the store just now had already stretched out of the sleeve of his robe, and he chased Luo Jian and stabbed him.

Seeing that he was about to avoid it, a petite figure slammed into front of Luo Jian, and it was Li Niang who threw herself into Luo Jian's arms and blocked the stab for Luo Jian.

Seeing that he had missed his hand and not stabbed Luo Jian, the assassin pulled out his knife and turned around and ran, but was kicked over by Zhao Quan, who had caught up.

Luo Jian saw that blood was oozing from Liniang's back in his arms, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly carried her to the store, and Liu Lan also ran in from behind.

Zhao Quan was about to step forward to catch the assassin, but two people who were almost dressed rushed up to the side of the street, came up to block Zhao Quan, picked up the assassin and tried to escape.

The guards had already surrounded and stopped a few of the Assassins, and the three Assassins were doing well, and although the guards had knives in their hands, they couldn't take them for a while.

Zhao Quan took a step back, tore the cloth bag on his back directly, took out the rifle, loaded it with a bang, and shouted in the field: "You all get out of the way!" ”

When the guards heard this, they all made a false move, jumped outside, and as soon as the three of them saw the guards get out of the way, they pulled out their legs and ran.

Zhao Quan shot at the three of them with a shuttle bullet, and the two fell to the ground on the spot, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, Zhao Quan aimed at the thigh of the assassin who was still running away and fired another shot, and the assassin staggered two steps and fell to the ground, and was held down by the guards.

As soon as the customers in the store saw the assassin, they had already run out, leaving only Shopkeeper Liu and a few men.
