Zhu Yishi was silent, just sat on the ground without saying a word, his eyes were empty, Liu Heimin came over and handed him the old Linjiang wine that came down from the restaurant, Zhu Yishi subconsciously took it and then leaned his neck and poured a few sips. Linjiang old wine is not spicy and a little sweet, but when it is drunk into Zhu Yishi's mouth, it only has a bitter taste.

"When you're done drinking, remember not to lose the flask."

Liu Heimin patted Zhu Yishi's shoulder and said seriously: "The wine is paid, but the wine jug is not." ”

Zhu Yishi was stunned, and then laughed bitterly.

He wasn't in the mood to joke now, and he didn't think Liu Heimin's joke was funny, but he still glanced at Liu Heimin with gratitude, and found that this fierce-looking man was actually not as annoying as he seemed on the surface. Liu Heimin smiled and said no more, got up and walked into the distance, and asked Zhu Yishi's wife Sun as he walked: "Can you ride a horse?" ”

Sun wiped his tears, raised his head and glanced at Liu Heimin for some reason.

Liu Heimin explained: "The officials of Jiangdu Mansion went to your Zhu family to arrest people, and found that you had escaped and would definitely go out of the city to chase you, the carriage was too conspicuous and slow, so we had to change to riding horses, and we couldn't take the official road." If you can't ride a horse, that's a problem. ”

"I can!"

Sun wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you tie me to the back of a horse, I must be able to." ”

She glanced at Zhu Yishi and said firmly: "Sooner or later, what belongs to us will be taken back, so we must live now." Stay alive no matter what! ”

Liu Heimin glanced at Sun with appreciation and said, "You can think better than him." ”

Sun shook his head and said, "Because he is still alive, I must live, if something happens to him, what does it mean that I am still alive?" I can think about it because I want to accompany him. ”

Liu Heimin was stunned and awe-inspired.

He nodded to Sun, took out the dry food from the package and handed it to her, "Go and persuade him, let's eat something, we don't know where to stop next time." I didn't have anything in my stomach, and I couldn't help but bump. ”

Sun took the dry food and said thank you, and slowly walked towards Zhu Yishi.

Liu Heimin walked to Ye Huai's side, glanced at Zhu Yishi and sighed: "Our luck is good this time, I didn't expect to catch up with the problem between their brothers, but his luck is not very good." The huge family business is gone, and I guess I want to die. ”

Ye Huaisleeve shook his head: "Actually...... His luck was also good. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Heimin asked.

Ye Huaisleeve didn't answer, but bent down to pick the wild rose, put it under her nose and smelled it, seeing that her expression was so serious, Liu Heimin couldn't help but say: "The flowers are picked, and it won't take long for them to wither." It's better to let it grow here and fend for itself. ”

Ye Huaisleeve smiled and said: "Self-fending is also withering, and it was picked and sandwiched in the scroll, and after a while, although it became no longer tender and bright, at least the color is still there." ”

Liu Heimin didn't understand, and Ye Huaisleeve didn't say it anymore. Already dressed in a strong outfit, she turned around and walked over to a stone and sat down, literally tucking the rose into a book she had with her. Then she began to slowly look very serious about eating dry food, dry food coarse-hard is not delicious, but looking at the way she eats, it is actually with a bit of sincerity. Liu Heimin suddenly remembered in his mind that this was the second person he had seen who ate so seriously, as if he was not eating, but doing a very rigorous and solemn thing, which made people puzzled, the first person he saw eating like this was Li Xian.

If you practice well, the world is as difficult as eating.

He remembered that General Li had said such a sentence, but he did not understand the meaning.

He didn't know what was good about cultivating, and naturally he didn't know what was so difficult about eating.

Sun didn't know what to persuade Zhu Yishi, Zhu Yishi glanced at his wife gratefully, then took the dry food, and filled it in one bite at a time, which tasted like chewing wax. He takes a bite, Sun takes a bite, he takes a sip of water, Sun takes a sip of water. The two of them ate very slowly, and while eating, they shed tears.

"Ye said that his luck was good, I can't think of it, he lost his family business and almost died, where is his luck?"

Liu Heimin muttered.

Jia'er smiled and said, "We are lucky, it happened that there was such a thing and it was natural to bring him back." And he was lucky, because of such a thing, he was brought back by us naturally. ”

"Don't sell it, okay, Miss Jia'er!"

Liu Heimin said with a bitter face.

Jia'er said seriously: "If we hadn't arrived in Jiangdu, Zhu Bushi would have harmed him, would he have survived?" ”

"But if we don't come to Jiangdu, Zhu Yishi won't hand over the sample of the dragon boat to Zhu Bushi, so Zhu Bushi won't be able to harm Zhu Yishi, that is to say, if we don't come to Jiangdu, maybe Zhu Bushi won't harm Zhu Yishi." Maybe nothing will happen between the two of them. ”

Liu Heimin said a series of very awkward words, but the meaning was finally expressed.

Jia'er looked at Liu Heimin, and sighed after a while: "I don't know if you said this with guilt, but I can say that your words really don't make any sense at all, don't you feel that if we don't come, the two brothers can live a life of peace and humility, right?" Zhu Bushi's dirty thoughts, could it be that we gave it to him? Dragon boat drawings don't really mean anything, and if you do, you might think of them as a litmus test. ”

Liu Heimin was stunned, looked at Zhu Yishi after being silent for a while, and sighed: "His luck is really good!" ”

……

……

After Zhu Bushi left, Jiangdu County Shouyu Shihong picked up the title deeds and bills sent by Zhu Bushi and smiled, looking at these bills that can be turned into countless silver once they are discounted, even the chagrin of being interrupted and teasing the little maid before disappeared. The Zhu family has a big business, although it is said that it is a businessman who is not in the stream after all, but although such a family has no status, it has money. On the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, you can see the Zhu family's fleet.

He looked at the dragon boat again, thought about it, picked it up and put it in a dark compartment behind the bookshelf. He didn't intend to give this thing to the emperor. People always have to leave some back, now the world of the Great Sui is in chaos, and it is said that the common people who rebel in the north of the Yangtze River are everywhere, conquering counties and counties, robbing and robbing the treasury. Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, these names have long been passed to Jiangdu, who knows how long Dasui can last? Yu Shihong has a sample of the dragon boat in his hand, if, in case the Great Sui is really finished, and someone else is the emperor, isn't it a great achievement to present this dragon boat sample?

He smiled smugly, feeling more and more lucky.

He only laughed for a while, and his face suddenly changed.

Looking at the bill in his hand, Yu Shihong's eyes suddenly became sad.

Because he suddenly realized that this money could not be swallowed by himself. If you don't spit out most of your filial piety to the people above, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do what Zhu Bushi did. While feeling sorry for the money in his hand, he was thinking about how much his own family Yu Shiji should send, how much the Yellow Gate squire Pei Ju should send, how much Pei Yun should send, and of course, he also had to send some to General Hu'er. These people are all people who say a word in front of the emperor to stand up to themselves a hundred words and a thousand sentences, if they don't get benefits, I'm afraid that they won't get anything after all.

In the end, Yu Shihong was distressed and divided those bills into five parts, and he kept the smallest one for himself. Of his share, there are only a few properties in Jiangdu County, and of course, the Hongbin Building.

He sent someone to send the divided things plus the gifts he chose to the hands of the adults in the royal team, and only after he was busy did he give the order to send someone to arrest Zhu Yishi. He was not in a hurry, because he said nothing and didn't expect that Zhu Yishi would learn the news in advance and run away.

When the people sent searched the Zhu family's house, and then rushed to the riverside shipyard and failed to find Zhu Yishi, they hurried back to report to Yu Shihong, Yu Shihong laughed instead of being angry. Because he knew that Zhu Yishi ran away was more beneficial to him than being caught. At the very least, when His Majesty asked about the sample of the dragon boat, he could say that he was taken away by Zhu Yishi.

Moreover, once the wind direction changes in the future, and someone in the court helps Zhu Yishi speak, then he will not be able to do anything.

Knowing that Zhu Yishi had escaped, he ordered the officials and county soldiers of Jiangdu Mansion to chase after them along the official road for a while, and did not strictly order that they must get people, these were just for show.

Unlike him, Zhu Bushi was shocked when he learned that his brother had received the news in advance and escaped from Jiangdu! He didn't expect that Zhu Yishi would be able to run. In this way, it was like a needle in his heart, which made him feel uneasy all the time. He was really afraid that if his eldest brother Zhu Yishi appeared in front of him again in the future, how would he face it? So he hurriedly went out and went to the Jiangdu County Shoufu again and found Yu Shihong.

Yu Shihong said to him that someone had been sent to chase him, so you can wait for the good news with peace of mind. But Zhu Bushi could see from Yu Shihong's reaction that he was not interested in pursuing his eldest brother Zhu Yishi. Even so, Zhu Bushi still expressed his gratitude, and immediately went to a rather dilapidated mansion in the west of the city after leaving the county guard's mansion.

It's a casino, and of course, it's not a sight to behold.

When Zhu Bushi found the casino owner Xu Blind, he gave out five hundred taels of silver before he could express his intentions. It's not that the meat is good, and it's not the money, it's the silver that is spent in vain.

"Kill my eldest brother Zhu Yishi, no matter the ends of the world, as long as the matter comes back to me with a head, I will give you another five hundred taels!"

Zhu Bushi gritted his teeth and said.

"Two thousand."

Blind Xu stretched out two fingers and shook them.

"If you want silver, you can't miss anything."

Blind Xu said seriously.

"Good! After the deed is completed, I will send the remaining 1,500 taels immediately. ”

Zhu Bushi did not hesitate.

"Okay, now you tell me as much as you can about your eldest brother."

Xu is not blind, but his eyes are extremely small, and when he squints and speaks, he looks as if he has no eyes, so people on the road call him Xu Blind. The origin of this blind Xu is very mysterious, some people say that he came from Caozhou, and it is said that the Xu family is still a prominent family in the local area. Some people also said that he was a lone thief on the ground in Hebei, and he killed too many people and the government investigated it tightly, so he went to Jiangdu to open such a casino, but secretly also took the sale of murder, and the price was very high, but he never missed.

Some people also say that Xu Blind is actually a spy from a certain cottage in Jiangdu, killing people to make some small money by the way.

Zhu Bushi described Zhu Yishi's appearance and possible escape to Zhu Yishi in detail, and after finishing speaking, he did not go back to his home, but went to Zhu Yishi's mansion in Huayang Lane. He walked slowly into the main hall, slowly sat down on the chair that Zhu Yishi often sat on, and muttered to himself with both hands groping for the armrests of the chair.

"This chair is really comfortable to sit on, so ...... Eldest brother...... You must die, otherwise, how can I sleep soundly? ”
