Out of the main hall of the central hall, Zu Zhao was about to return to his residence, and just came to the corridor, his cousin Zu Zhan suddenly chased behind him.

"Prince, stay a step."

Zu Zhao thought that Zu Zhan had come to him to talk about the controversy in the main hall just now, and he turned back with an expressionless face.

"Ah Zhan, let's talk about other things tomorrow."

"But I went to see Uncle Hong just now, Uncle Hong said that if you come back, please come over, he seems to have something to tell you." Zu Zhan only thought that Zu Zhao still had a little anger in his heart, so he kept a calm heart.

"Oh? Did Uncle Hong say anything? Zu Zhao restrained his emotions a little and asked.

"They didn't tell me. The eldest prince should take the time to go. Zu Zhan said.

After saying goodbye to Zu Zhan, Zu Zhao saw that it was not too late, so he turned around and went to the backyard.

Uncle Hong and some of the helpers in the racecourse mostly live in the backyard near the racecourse, where there is a special courtyard, divided into two catties, a total of seven large houses and six small rooms. The big house has an independent courtyard, which can be described as a courtyard within a courtyard with a different way in the backyard of Zujiazhuang.

When he came to the courtyard of the big house where Uncle Hong lived, Uncle Hong's family made an announcement on his behalf, and then entered the house.

Uncle Hong's family is sincerely afraid that the eldest prince can come in person, even though Uncle Hong is the housekeeper of the ancestral horse farm, but in the end he is also a subordinate. Zu Zhao didn't have the slightest shelf, but politely greeted Uncle Hong's family first, and then went into the inner room to visit Uncle Hong who was lying on the bed.

After a day of recuperation, Uncle Hong's injury is no longer a major problem, and his whole appearance is much better than yesterday.

Zu Zhao saw that Uncle Hong was about to struggle to get up and salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him and said, "Uncle Hong doesn't have to be formal. ”

Uncle Hong sighed, his emaciated face was still full of guilt, and he said: "Because of the carelessness in the next moment, I am really ashamed to make the Zhuang Shangren panic in the past two days. ”

Zu Zhao laughed and said: "Uncle Hong, don't say such things, in this way, wouldn't it prove that my ancestral family is united?" ”

Uncle Hong laughed twice, sighed again, eased his mind, and said: "Before, the eldest prince confessed that when he went to Lingzhi County, he inquired about a person named Han Dang, and on the first day when the next group arrived in Lingzhi County, I made a special trip to visit the county seat, and sure enough, there was indeed such a person. ”

Zu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that Uncle Hong came to me for this purpose?" ”

Uncle Hong nodded and said with a smile: "After all, it was something that the eldest prince ordered, and it was delayed in the past two days, and I couldn't tell you in time." ”

Zu Zhao then asked, "Then Uncle Hong can inquire about this person?" ”

Uncle Hong said: "This person is quite chivalrous in Lingzhi County, because he was not used to seeing a few local scoundrels bullying neighbors and insulting the elderly, so he taught a lesson, but accidentally killed people, and absconded overnight in order to avoid the arrest of the county. It is said that the neighbors have repeatedly petitioned the county government for a pardon for their negligence, but to no avail. ”

Zu Zhao had heard these words, and they were no different from what Han Dang said, he looked thoughtful and did not speak.

After a pause, Uncle Hong continued: "I found out about Han Dang's former residence, there are still old fathers and mothers and a few poor relatives who defected to him in the early years, and several people live on three acres of thin land. But later, because the family of the murderer kept making trouble, and finally transferred Botian to compensation, life became more and more difficult. ”

Hearing this, Zu Zhao immediately asked, "Can Uncle Hong minister as I want?" ”

Uncle Hong nodded hurriedly and said: "This is natural, although I don't know what the relationship between this Han Dang and the eldest prince is, but the eldest prince will act righteously, and he will not dare to slack off." happened to have an extra ten taels of silver, so they all transferred it to the old man of the Han family. The old man of the Han family refused to accept it, and repeatedly asked about his identity. In desperation, it can only be deduced that it is Han Dang himself who conveyed it. ”

Zu Zhao said approvingly: "In this way, it will be the best." ”

Uncle Hong was a little surprised, although he knew about Zu Zhaoyang's matter earlier, not to seek any good name, but it was not to take advantage of it at all. If it weren't for Han Dang himself, everyone in the Han family would inevitably remember the kindness of an unknown person; But once it is falsely claimed that it is Han Dang himself, then everyone in the Han family will naturally accept it calmly, and there will be no memory in their hearts.

Then he chatted with Uncle Hong about other things, and by the way, he told Uncle Hong the news he heard today, and Zu Zhao got up and said goodbye.

Zu Zhaozi is because he understands Han Dang's personality, so he will use this way to secretly help each other, as the so-called gentleman does not accept the food that comes, maybe Han Dang will not think that he is a gentleman, but people with backbone will never be willing to ask others, unless it is really a last resort. He admires Han Dang very much, not only for his personality charm, but also for this simple character, which is naturally commendable compared to the era when later generations would like to take advantage of others.

When he returned to his inner courtyard dwelling, he felt a little hungry again, after all the day outside, and he hurried back in the evening without eating, even if he called a servant to prepare some supper.

The servant quickly brought some hot snacks and snacks, and after setting up the dishes and chopsticks, he added, "The eldest prince, the one you brought back...... The woman...... Well, she won't eat. ”

Zu Zhao had just changed out of his clothes for travel, and when he heard the servant's words, he couldn't help frowning. After he came out of Uncle Hong, he almost forgot about this stubble. With a low sigh, he asked the servant, "How is she now?" ”

The servant shook his head, and said helplessly: "The man refused to speak, nor did he want to rest well on the bed, so he tore off all the bedding on the bed, but hid in the corner of the wing, like a ...... It's like ...... Savages...... "The servant was afraid of angering the eldest prince, and couldn't help but be cautious when saying a word to zuihou."

After thinking for a while, Zu Zhao said with a bit of patience: "You take me." ”

The servant replied, "Yes." ”

He followed the servant out of his dwelling and came to another small courtyard to the west of the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is occupied by the direct relatives of the ancestral family, even if it is a wing room prepared here, it is by no means an ordinary place to live in, and most of the relatives and nobles in the non-clan are arranged to the west courtyard. Zu Zhao did not deliberately instruct the servants to arrange Gulinaer here, but think about it, the troubled times are coming, where are so many relatives and nobles coming to live in this house, let them live here, how much convenience can be taken care of.

Standing in the small courtyard outside the wing, I saw that it was dark inside the doors and windows of the wing.

Zu Zhao couldn't help frowning, and the servant shook his head and sighed, "She blew out the candlestick." She had been making a fuss when the lamp was lit, and every time we stepped back, she would knock out the candlesticks without permission, and the little people could do nothing. ”

Zu Zhao didn't speak, stepped forward and pushed the door open himself, the room was silent, only a slight sound came from the moment the door opened. He first asked the servant to retreat, then stepped into the room, and glanced at the overturned candlesticks and untouched food on the table in the small hall, and his heart suddenly welled up with some distress, on the one hand, because he felt that women were not easy to deal with, and on the other hand, he did not know how to settle Gulnar in the future.

He walked through the small hall and came to the bedroom, which was a little messy, the bedding was thrown everywhere, and the quilts, mattresses, and curtains were nowhere to be seen. The inner corner of the room was dark, and there was a figure huddled there. Gulnar wrapped herself tightly in a futon, and laid it aside as if it were a small tent, huddled into a weak ball.

Being able to behave like this shows that Gulinar feels that she has completely lost all protection.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, he walked over slowly, in order not to scare the other party, he deliberately asked first, "How are you now?" ”

The huddled futon trembled, and no sound returned.

Zu Zhao came closer, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to uncover the futon. He thought that Gulinar would resist and struggle, but he never expected that it would be so easy for him to uncover the bedding, but when his hand touched the bedding, he felt a touch of wetness.

Gulinaer, who was hiding inside, curled up, she had been arranged to take a hot bath earlier, her whole body had been cleaned, and she had changed into a set of Hanfu, but she didn't know that Weishenme didn't tie the belt tightly, so that her clothes were loose and her shoulders were half exposed. She held her small, bare legs in both hands, her cheeks buried in her arms. The wetness on the futon was full of her tears.

Zu Zhao immediately smelled a warm body fragrance that had just finished bathing, and his heart was a little dazed. He didn't intend to take advantage of the other party, so he deliberately tidied up the futon wrapped around Gulinaer's body and surrounded her body so as not to cover her head.

"Weishenme doesn't eat." He asked softly.

Gulinar raised her head slowly, her big blue eyes with tears in her eyes were very crystal clear in the dark, and they were so charming.

"You...... You can help us...... But you're ...... I was the only one who saved me...... I won't be grateful to you, I won't ......," she said in a choked voice, already with a very strong exotic accent, mixed with tears, which became more and more bleak and indistinct.

"You don't think so, I can ignore you completely, but I still saved your life." Zu Zhao said in a lukewarm tone. He knew that his words were almost cruel, but it was also an indisputable fact, he was not a philanthropist, not to mention that there were more important things at the moment.

Gulnar's tears rolled out of her eyes and fell down her delicate cheeks.

"You weren't supposed to be here." After a while, Zu Zhao said with a sigh.

"If we didn't starve, we wouldn't be here...... You Han people are not good people......" Gulinar's voice was as thin as a gnat when she said this, and she hung her head again and began to weep.

"If you're willing to eat now," Zu Zhao spoke again after thinking for a long time, "I can consider agreeing to help you get your companion back." Of course, I can't give you any guarantees, I can only promise to do my best,"

Gulinar raised her head in surprise and looked at the handsome boy in front of her in disbelief.

"Now, our ancestral village also has a lot of trouble, since I saved you, I naturally hope you can live. I will continue to help you as much as I can. Of course, you yourself must also understand a truth, it is better to rely on anyone than on yourself, and the first thing you need to do now is to live well. Zu Zhao said earnestly.

"I ......" Gulinar wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, her blue eyes had a lot of worries, and her delicate face showed a slight crimson, "Xiexie...... xiexie you ...... -
