(Ask for collection)

"Why?"

Zhu Yishi sat down next to the window in the carriage, this was not the position he took the initiative to choose, but was forced to sit there with a sword by the handsome and lovely maid of the Ye family. He asked why, and he didn't know why he was being lied to, or why he was being held hostage, or why he had to be forced. Jia'er didn't think about what he was asking at all, but gently pressed Zhu Yishi's shoulder with the long sword in his hand and motioned for him to sit honestly.

"Why?"

Seeing that the maid with the sword didn't intend to answer herself, Zhu Yishi's face gradually calmed down from her shock. He lowered his head to glance at the sharp sword very close to his neck, and then slowly looked into Jia'er's eyes and asked again.

Jia'er still didn't answer, just shook her head and motioned to Zhu Yishi to stop talking.

Zhu Yishi didn't plan to shut up, Jia'er didn't answer him, he said to himself: "I don't know what Ye Huaisleeve wants to do with the sample of the dragon boat, which big hero on the green forest road wants, or which big man in the court has a heart of disobedience, these are not important, the important thing is that I will never give you the sample of the dragon boat." Ye Huaisleeve plans to buy it, I will definitely not sell it, and now that I change the sword on my neck, I still won't give it. And you can rest assured, even if you kill me and rummage through the entire Zhu family's house, you won't be able to find where the dragon boat sample is. I've hidden it in a safe place, and you won't get away with it. ”

"Shut up! Idiot! ”

Jia'er glared at Zhu Yishi with contempt and squint, and naturally said someone's verbal words.

Idiot, she said.

"My young lady didn't plan to ask for your dragon boat sample, but I just asked you to watch a play."

"Watching a play?"

Zhu Yishi was surprised, but subconsciously ignored the word idiot.

"Didn't Ye Huaisleeve say goodbye to me?"

Although he pretended to be calm, his series of panic was evident in his words. It's not that he's not afraid, it's not that he's not worried, he just doesn't want to lose face in front of a maid who looks a few years younger than him. After all, he is the head of the Zhu family, and he also has the title of a marquis.

"It's really a goodbye, but it's not that you say goodbye to my young lady, but to say goodbye to this Jiangdu City."

Jia'er said lightly.

"You're going to hold me hostage!"

Zhu Yishi finally reacted, he couldn't suppress his excitement and wanted to stand up, but he was pressed by the long sword on his shoulder and sat down again, but the anger in his eyes had begun to boil, and it could be seen from his clenched fists that maybe he was doing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart at this time, whether to be patient for the time being, or to fight with the woman in front of him who looked a little delicate. Anyway, he has practiced some martial arts since he was a child, and two or three big men are not his opponents. It's just that Jia'er's next sentence made him give up the idea of fighting, and sit quietly waiting for the next scene.

"You're half right, holding you hostage is not to hold you hostage and leave Jiangdu, because even if no one kidnaps you in the near future, you won't be able to stay in Jiangdu. Holding you hostage, just to take you to see what an idiotic decision you made to so-called hiding the dragon boat sample in a safe place. Now you can lift the curtain of the car window and look out, of course, you must not show your whole face, if the person sees you, the show will not be good. ”

Because of these words, Zhu Yishi decided to take a look at it and talk about it later.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked out of the carriage through the gap.

The carriage happened to pass by the alley where Zhu Bushi's house was located, so Zhu Yishi saw Zhu Bushi carrying a heavy package into the carriage, and saw him wave his hand to drive the family members who followed. Liu Heimin drove the carriage without stopping, turned from the intersection in front and stopped to the side, and then Zhu Yishi saw Zhu Bushi get out of the car and enter a jade shop, and walked out about ten minutes later. Then Liu Heimin drove the carriage and continued to walk forward, turned a street and stopped again, this time waiting for a long time to see Zhu Bushi come out of the back door of a teahouse, and quickly get into a carriage parked there.

"What the hell do you want me to see?"

Zhu Yishi frowned and asked Jia'er, Jia'er shook her head and said: "You just have to watch it yourself, sometimes, what you hear with your own ears is often a lie, and what you see with your own eyes is the truth of the matter." So I'm not going to tell you what's going to happen next, but you'd better keep your eyes open and see clearly. ”

Zhu Yishi no longer spoke, but stared at Zhu Bushi getting into the carriage, and he noticed that Zhu Bushi had been carrying the heavy package in his hand.

After Zhu Bushi's carriage left, Liu Heimin did not follow the carriage but took another road. He turned a few blocks and stopped, then tied the carriage to a large tree on the side of the road. The sword in Jia'er's hand had been lowered, and she reached out and made a gesture of please. Zhu Yishi glanced at Jia'er suspiciously, and then got out of the carriage.

Jia'er led the way in front, Zhu Yishi walked in the middle, and Liu Heimin slowly followed behind with a smile on his face. The three of them entered a restaurant, went directly to the second floor, and entered a private room by the window. There are already a few delicate side dishes on the table, as well as a pot of Linjiang old wine, which is the most famous in Jiangdu.

Zhu Yishi consciously sat down in the seat near the window, and then looked out the window.

After gradually quieting down from the initial shock and confusion, suddenly, he found that the scenery outside the window was somewhat familiar, and after thinking carefully for a while, he realized that the back window of this restaurant was facing the back house of Shouyu Shihong in Jiangdu County. He seemed to have a premonition of something, and subconsciously glanced back at Jia'er.

"Where's everyone Ye?"

He asked.

Jia'er stood next to the window, looked outside and said lightly: "We are here to save you, my young lady is going to save your family." ”

"Help me? Save my family? ”

Zhu Yishi's face changed suddenly, and he stood up and looked outside. Sure enough, a carriage stopped at the gate of Shouyu Shihong's backyard in Jiangdu County, and then Zhu Bushi walked in with the package. From the back window of this restaurant, you can see that Zhu Bushi has been walking to the front yard under the guidance of a servant. After that, you can't see anything.

"Do you want to know, what's inside that package that your most trusted brother is carrying?"

Liu Heimin asked with a smile.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Zhu Yishi looked at each other angrily, almost roaring, and asked.

Liu Heimin shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

"Let's go."

Jia'er said lightly: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to get out of the Jiangdu City Gate." The wine on the table you can take with you to relieve your sorrows, and you have already paid for it. ”

"I see!"

Zhu Yishi suddenly screamed: "You didn't want the dragon boat from the beginning, you wanted me as a person!" All of this was calculated by you, and you forced Xiaochang to find Yu Shihong, right! It must be like this, you forced me to fail, and you forced Xiaochang again, he had no choice but to beg Yu Shihong! Xiaochang is holding a dragon boat sample, he wants to hand over the sample to Yu Shihong, and then beg Yu Shihong to protect our Zhu family! ”

"You're half right."

Jia'er sighed and said, "We really didn't plan to ask for your dragon boat sample, and it was you who we really wanted to take away." The thing Zhu Bushi was holding should be a dragon boat sample, but he spent three days and two nights copying it, and the real sample was still hidden in his home, he went to see Yu Shihong, it was indeed asking for help, but we didn't force you, nor did we force Zhu Bushi, and he didn't ask Yu Shihong to protect you. ”

Liu Heimin smiled and opened the package behind him, took out more than a dozen letters and handed them to Zhu Yishi and said: "Hurry up, we have to hurry out of the city, otherwise the officers and soldiers will block the city gate for a while, and none of us will be able to get out." ”

Zhu Yishi took those letters with trembling hands, and his face became as white as paper after reading only one of them.

"It's fake!"

He said angrily: "This is forged by you, Xiaochang will never hide from me that I have a relationship with Yang Xuangan!" ”

Jia'er glanced at Zhu Yishi with pitiful eyes: "Whether these letters are forged or not, in fact, you can tell at a glance." And whether Zhu Bushi and Yang Xuangan have contact, in fact, it is not very difficult to check, you only need to ask where your Zhu family's fleet on the Yellow River went last month, and you will naturally understand that although you have been deliberately severing the relationship with Yang Xuangan, it is undeniable that your Zhu family's fleet has been transporting grain for the anti-thieves. ”

"And this is a capital crime that is full of people."

Liu Heimin sneered: "You trust your brother, but you never thought that what he wanted to do most was to replace you as the head of the Zhu family, right?" You are the eldest son, so it is logical to inherit the family business. So you never thought about what your brother would get. He is also a member of the Zhu family, why can he only follow you and get nothing? ”

"I ...... I've given him nearly 20% of my possessions! ”

Zhu Yishi said weakly.

"It's because I've already gotten two percent, so I want to get it all."

Jia'er said: "It's still my young lady who is right, in the family of the super-rich, there has never been any good thing about brothers and brothers, and such brotherhood often abounds in small households. Since you have endless money in your family, you can't stop others from coveting it, and this coveting heart comes from others and from your family. ”

Liu Heimin sighed: "Speaking of which, an idiot like you is really not suitable to be the head of a family, although your younger brother is a little more insidious, in order to seek benefits, he is more able to come together with those big people in the court." If nothing else, it won't be long before the charge of colluding with the thief Yang Xuangan will sit on your head, and then because of the meritorious report, your younger brother Zhu Bushi will take your place as the head of the family and join the office. ”

"Let's go"

Jia'er looked at Zhu Yishi and said, "Even if we don't force you and don't hold you hostage, you have reached the point where you have to go." ”

……

……

After leaving the capital, the usual carriage went west along the official road, and arrived at a small town in the evening. Here, Zhu Yishi met his wife and a pair of children. His wife, Sun, cried excitedly when she saw him, obviously she was also scared before.

Zhu Yishi comforted his wife a few words, and then walked to Ye Huaichong, who was standing in front of a wild rose.

"Where are you taking me?"

Zhu Yishi asked.

"You've tried so hard to take me away, what are you trying to do? Don't tell me that you didn't participate in the dirty thing that Zhu Bushi did, if no one came up with an idea, he wouldn't have become so ruthless. I know him, I've known him since I was a child! ”

Ye Huaisleeve shook slightly, turned to look at Zhu Yishi and said, "Until now, you haven't understood what happened. ”

She asked Zhu Yishi: "You are too kind-hearted." ”

Zhu Yishi said angrily: "What's wrong with being kind! ”

Ye Huaisleeve sighed: "It's good to be kind, but hypocrisy is not good." ”

She slowly turned her head to look into Zhu Yishi's eyes and asked, "You always say that you understand your brother, and you always say that you are benevolent to him, but you are just deceiving yourself." That's right, you gave him 20% of the property, but all the harvest was given to you 9 cents, and he only got 1 cent. Having tasted the sweetness, how could he not breed ambition? ”

"The nine points are to be given to the tribes"

Zhu Yishi explained.

"The imperial court sent people to execute the 1,800 craftsmen who built the dragon boat on the way to Shui'an, and there was also the name of your brother Zhu Bushi among them, don't say you don't know, you haven't done anything from beginning to end. He didn't die, it's not that you take care of it, but that he used the money to buy off Sun Jing'an, the regular attendant of the free cavalry, and asked someone to invite the general of the Navy Division to protect his son from death. ”

Ye Huaisleeve's words stabbed Zhu Yishi's heart like a knife.

"No!"

Zhu Yishi roared: "It's me who found the person who came to talk to General Hu'er!" ”

Ye Huai glanced at him pitifully and said, "But Zhu Bushi doesn't think so, because he also made money himself." ”

Zhu Yishi immediately softened, sweat soaked his clothes, and he sat down on the ground as if he had been drained of all his strength.

"It's all my fault!"

He said in a trembling voice: "I should have talked to Xiaochang more, he must have thought that I didn't save him, so he had such a thought." I always feel that there are two brothers in one family, what else do they share with each other? ”

Ye Huaisleeve sighed and said, "Since they are two people, why don't they distinguish each other?" ”
