When Cheng Qing woke up again, it was already a few days later.

Lanzhou City has left her, she is a seriously ill young man, and she is taken care of by several old servants to return to her hometown.

She was lying in the carriage with a thick mattress under her, and she heard the old servant introduce herself to others.

Hmph, what an old servant, listening to that voice, it's clearly Mr. Zhang!

Cheng Qing's throat was so dry that she was smoking, and knocked on the wall of the car hard, and finally someone lifted the curtain and brought her a bowl of tea.

Sure enough, it was Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang has now changed into a disguise, his hair is gray, the corners of his eyes are drooping, and his back is slightly rickety.

Now that the two sides are almost talking about it, Mr. Zhang doesn't have much respect for her, and he doesn't have the humility that the old prince's old ministry should have for the descendants of the first prince...... Could it be that he guessed wrong, in fact, he is not the first prince and the descendant, so Mr. Zhang is suspicious, and he wants to use her to cover the real "first prince and later generations"?

Cheng Qing drank tea, and the thirst in his throat was slightly relieved.

She opened her mouth, found that she couldn't make a sound, and almost threw the tea bowl in her hand over to Mr. Chongzhang.

This bastard, I don't know what I did to her, made her speechless and became mute!

Mr. Zhang took the tea bowl, "You don't have to worry, it's just some small means, so you can't speak for the time being, just wait until you leave the northwest." ”

Cheng Qing twisted his head to the side.

The carriage kept moving forward, and even passed through Qin'an County on the way.

Cheng Qing thought that she was so close to He Wan, Rong Jiu and others, and her mind was lively, but Mr. Zhang looked at her very closely and did not give her a chance to ask for help.

In this way, until he left the northwest territory, Cheng Qing did not find a chance to escape.

Along the way, she didn't hear the news of the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry's advance, Mr. Zhang seemed to be in a bad mood, Cheng Qing analyzed, Agoura's army should have been stopped by Xiao Yunting!

It is estimated that this situation is very unfavorable to Mr. Zhang, so Mr. Zhang is not happy.

Cheng Qing was very happy.

Perhaps, Uncle Xing succeeded in assassinating Agoura?

If he could hear the news of Agoura's retreat, Cheng Qing would really be relieved.

Mr. Zhang took Cheng Qing to stop and go, going east for a while, going south in circles for a while, and when he left the northwest, Cheng Qing's voice really improved.

Mr. Zhang told Cheng Qing that if she tried to escape, or wanted to ask someone for help, and he found out, he would kill all the people who helped Cheng Qing.

"You know, I've always been a man of my word."

Cheng Qing trembled with anger.

Of course, she knows that Mr. Zhang can do what he says, and the city wall of Lanzhou can be blown up, and it is naïve to expect Mr. Zhang to have a bottom line in doing things!

Mr. Zhang wants to take Cheng Qing to the capital.

At least that's what Mr. Zhang said when he was in Lanzhou.

What Cheng Qing didn't expect was that on the way to the capital, Mr. Zhang went to Xuandu Mansion first.

Is Mr. Zhang going to Nanyi County?

Cheng Qing was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Nanyi County is the territory of the Cheng family, in Nanyi, as long as she reveals her identity, Mr. Zhang will not want to hold her hostage - there is no alien threat in Nanyi County, and it is impossible for Mr. Zhang to kill all the people in the entire county!

There is Cheng Wu in Nanyi County, which makes Cheng Qing feel particularly secure.

As a result, Mr. Zhang didn't go to Nanyi at all, he took a detour next to Nanyi and went to Yongyang County!

Why did Mr. Zhang come to Yongyang County?

This place is adjacent to Nanyi, and Cheng Qing has never been there.

"Zhang took you to Qi's house as a guest, your father deposited some things in Qi's house, and now it's time to retrieve them."

Her father Cheng Zhiyuan saved something in the Qi family?

The Qi family is bent on drawing a line with the Cheng family, but it is not like the attitude of preserving the relics for Cheng Zhiyuan.

Cheng Qing remained silent and followed Mr. Zhang to Qi's house, and Mr. Zhang asked her to stay in the carriage and not show up.

Mr. Zhang handed the name card to the Qi family, and Uncle Qi ran out in a panic and refused Mr. Zhang to step into the Qi family: "The Qi family and the Cheng family have broken off their relationship, you are Cheng Zhiyuan's friend, and the Qi family does not welcome you!" ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Uncle Qi is as upright as ever.

Cheng Qing listened in the carriage and was almost amused.

It turns out that Mr. Zhang also has times when he hits a wall!

However, Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person, he disagreed with Uncle Qi's prevarication, lowered his voice and said a few words, Uncle Qi was so frightened that he was soft, and finally took Mr. Zhang to the mountain, dug out a box, and threw the box to Mr. Zhang as if holding a hot potato.

"This is what Cheng Zhiyuan left behind, Qi has not opened the box, has not touched it, whatever happens to the surname Cheng in the future, it has nothing to do with the Qi family!"

said that he brought Cheng Qing to the door as a guest, and from beginning to end, Cheng Qing was not allowed to show up.

Uncle Qi was not at all curious about who was in the carriage, and from his words and demeanor, it could be seen that Uncle Qi was trying his best to dissociate himself from the Cheng family.

This doesn't make sense.

The Cheng family is thriving day by day, although Cheng Qing has been demoted, Master Cheng Liu and Cheng Zhixu are both high-ranking officials in the capital, and the Qi family is declining day by day, and it has been going downhill, with an in-law like the Cheng family, they don't firmly grasp it?

What was it that scared Uncle Qi's guts.

Is it what's in the box?

Or did her father Cheng Zhiyuan do something in front of him?

Cheng Qing can't wash the floor for Cheng Zhiyuan now.

Cheng Zhiyuan, like Mr. Zhang, is the first prince's person.

Mr. Zhang is responsible for contacting the hidden old department of the former prince, and Cheng Zhiyuan is responsible for raising "Cheng Qing" to grow up.

When leaving the Qi family, Cheng Qing asked Mr. Zhang coldly: "How did my father die?" ”

Mr. Zhang carefully wiped the soil on the box, checked the lock of the box again, and confirmed that Uncle Qi really hadn't opened the box, and didn't even raise his head to Cheng Qing's question:

"If you are talking about your adoptive father Cheng Zhiyuan, then Zhang can tell you that he voluntarily took poison, because the emperor's eagle claw has been found in Hetai Mansion, and Cheng Zhiyuan can only make sacrifices."

Cheng Qing straightened his back, "The emperor's investigation of Hetai Mansion is to investigate the case of embezzlement of silver for disaster relief...... I know, those greedy silver, you did it! ”

Ha Tai is very close to the northwest.

Mr. Zhang wants to do things, and he can't do without the support of silver.

After all, rebellion is a major event that loses its head, and it cannot be sustained for so many years by faith and loyalty alone.

Thinking that it was Cheng Zhiyuan and Mr. Zhang who cooperated to remove the disaster relief money from Hetai Mansion, Cheng Qing was very disappointed.

In the memory of 'Cheng Qing', Cheng Zhiyuan is a good official who is dedicated to the people.

Could it be that everything that 'Cheng Qing' saw was an illusion?

Cheng Zhiyuan died, and 'Cheng Qing' was hit hard and lost his life for it.

- 'Cheng Qing's life is too worthless to lose!

Mr. Zhang frowned: "How could Cheng Zhiyuan touch the disaster relief silver, hundreds of thousands of taels of disaster relief silver can't play a decisive role in our major affairs, do you think that after so many years, we haven't found stable silver support?" ”

In Mr. Zhang's mouth, he disdained hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Cheng Qing wondered, since there was no shortage of silver, why did he have to work hard to carry gold bricks in the ancestral tomb in the first place.

Listening to Mr. Zhang's meaning, the division of labor in their organization is very clear, someone is responsible for raising the descendants of the first prince, someone is responsible for providing financial support, and someone is in the middle of the contact, is there still someone training in secret?

If in Hetai Mansion, Mr. Zhang and Cheng Zhiyuan are not for disaster relief silver, then what Mr. Zhang wants to do in Hetai Mansion should be similar to Huainan-

Mr. Zhang seemed to see through Cheng Qing's thoughts:

"We are not short of money, and we take out the gold bricks from the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, just to prove that we are orthodox."

When today's son is not in the right position, so I don't know about the ancestral tomb hiding gold.

Before the death of the first emperor, he was angry about Prince Yuzhang's crazy self-immolation, and he didn't want to pass on the throne to today's son, so naturally he would not tell many secrets of the royal family!

Mr. Zhang stroked the box and sighed: "Cheng Qing, you have to accept the reality, Cheng Zhiyuan is just your adoptive father, he raised you and has fulfilled his duties, now it is your turn to pick up the burden and fulfill your responsibilities!" ”
