Although Zhang Yue had already rushed to Yingtianfu, Hua Qiao didn't want to delay time, got up early, and the two went to the post station lobby to settle the bill and go on the road.

There were a few people sitting in the lobby, and there were several beggars squatting by the wall, one of whom was holding a child.

That's rare.

"Shopkeeper, why do beggars also come to the post station to beg?"

Flower buckwheat asked casually.

"It's winter now, and many homeless beggars feel that the north is too cold, so they will go south, and they can't eat or drink on the way, and they can't sleep in the snow.

Hua Qiao thought of Xu Jiugong, and I don't know if his internal strength has recovered, whether he is still in Phoenix Village.

She grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to the shopkeeper, pointed to the squatting beggars and said, "Please give each of them a bowl of hot porridge and five steamed buns." Hold the child and give him two more steamed buns. ”

"That's not a child, look closely, it's a monkey."

The shopkeeper laughed, he was wrong at first, and thought it was a beggar who picked up a baby.

"Monkey?"

Hua Qiao also smiled, and couldn't help but look back at the monkey twice.

"Then give him more, the monkey wants to eat too, right?"

I don't know if I heard Hua Qiao's words, but the beggars kept looking at her in a friendly manner.

They picked a table against the wall and sat down, and Xiao Er brought them steamed buns and porridge, as well as pickles from the shopkeeper.

Xiao Gao was sitting facing the beggars, and he saw Xiao Er take the steamed buns and go over, and pointed to the buckwheat again.

The beggars ate steamed buns, and the monkeys they were holding were also put on the ground.

The monkey is supposed to be an adult monkey, and it stands upright on the ground, asking the beggar for steamed buns.

"What are you looking at?"

"Watch the monkey eat steamed buns."

Xiao Gao is just a big child, he just turned eighteen last month, and Hua Qiao also gave him a peace buckle that he played.

While the two were eating, the monkey came over, and Xiao Gao saw it, but he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the monkey suddenly jumped on their table and slapped his palm at the head of the buckwheat.

It was too late for Xiao Gao to block, and the monkey knocked off the buckwheat's hat and ran away with a "squeak".

When the shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly came out to scold those beggars, Hua Qiao picked up his hat and smiled: "It's okay, it's just a hat, it may be playing with me." ”

Hua Qiao wears men's clothes, and her hair is also tied into a men's bun, only with the green hosta.

She had just put her hat on when the monkey came again. Xiao Gao hurriedly stood up, beware of it doing something more.

This time it was holding a bowl in its hand, and the buckwheat thought it was coming to eat, but when she looked down, there was water in the bowl.

When the monkey saw it, he splashed water on the ground, turned around and walked away.

Hua Qiao's heart moved: Does the beggar want to see my green hosta? What does this splash mean?

When the beggars saw the monkey passing, they rose to go out, and one of them sang:

"The mountain road does not go by water,

Flowers bloom at the water's edge......"

Someone in the lobby laughed: "Now even scholars are going to be beggars?" Don't go, sing one more song! ”

Flower brocade? Waterway? Hua Qiao glanced at Xiao Gao:

"Let's go! They came to me. ”

The two went out the door, but no one could see them, and they were walking to the carriage in confusion, when they suddenly saw a beggar waiting behind the carriage.

"Big girl, thank you for your steamed buns. The small ones are looking for you to report the news. ”

"You know me?"

"It's because I don't know that I want to confirm your green hosta."

The beggar smiled and said: "A few of us, we are beggars from Dongchang Mansion, some time ago, a boatload of people came to the dock of Dongchang Mansion, and two men were escorted ashore.

One of the men, when he saw us, said a password that only the leader of our Northern Beggars Gang uses, and this password is only known to the elders.

He was also lucky, I happened to be at the dock that day, otherwise it was said, and those beggars didn't understand. ”

Hua Qiao already understands that the person he said must be a senior brother!

"The man said he was going to release the water, and I followed him and knocked his guards unconscious, but he said he couldn't run, and asked me to report to the beggars of the Peking Division, and ask them to bring a message to the eldest princess in the palace."

The beggar, even in Hanako's clothes, looked polite, and he continued:

"When we entered Beijing, the beggar at the gate of the city said, Seeing that you had just left the city, we chased you all the way.

The two of you must have a relationship with the gang leader, otherwise you wouldn't have handed over the green hosta and the gang leader's password to you.

Big girl, you hurry up and take the waterway, Lord Huyan and a noble man are being imprisoned in the palace of the old man. ”

Hua Qiao always thought that the senior brother and the imperial brother had already arrived at Yingtianfu, but they didn't expect that they were kidnapped halfway!

"Okay, let's head to the docks now! It's just that in this position, we don't know the way. ”

The beggar laughed: "Is there any other road in the world that Hanako doesn't know?" Let's go, they've cut corners. ”

This beggar's name is "Jia Xiucai", although he has failed in other places, he is no different from a champion among beggars.

"Jia Xiucai, you knocked those two guards unconscious, but my senior brother didn't run away, then he ......"

"He's miserable! He deliberately made a noise, and the people outside the forest rushed over and beat him. Fortunately, his internal strength is deep, and it should be some flesh wounds. ”

Flesh wounds don't hurt? Hua Qiao was worried about her heart, I don't know how they are now, senior brother, after so many days......

When they arrived at the dock, they abandoned the car and took a boat south. It was winter, and the sails were hoisted, and the north wind blew their boats as if they were flying on the water.

In a few days, it will be the New Year's Day, Zhu Zhan basically wants to welcome the spring with the courtiers of the southern capital, give some rewards, and stabilize the mood of the courtiers of the southern capital, so after he made the crown prince, he led the team south.

"Big girl, the front is Linqingzhou, and the Linqingzhou is Dongchang Mansion. I wonder what you're going to do when you arrive? ”

Jia Xiucai was a little suspicious when she saw Hua Qiao, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a maid who was less than a weak crown. It is said that a strong dragon can't fight the ground snake, not to mention that she is just a princess in the deep palace.

Yesterday, he had already told the eldest girl that it was not an ordinary mansion that imprisoned Lord Huyan and that nobleman.

The eldest son of Master Wang is Wang Shixun, the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan, and the second son is Wang Shijia, a foreigner of the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, the power of the Wang family in Dongchang Mansion far exceeded that of the local prefect.

Although Wang Shijia is only a foreigner from the fifth grade, the power of the Tuntian Division is very large. Take the last item they are also in charge of: the hundred official system, whether to allocate a piece of land at the foot of your mountain, or a mountain, or even a mountain as a cemetery, it is up to them to decide.

He is a person of the King of Han, and he has made great contributions to the land annexation of the Han Wang's family.

In addition, the backer of King Han, the palace surnamed Wang, has really become a palace without a title.

Hua Qiao had already thought about it, and with her strength alone, she might not be able to enter the palace to save people. And after beating the grass and startling the snake, it will be bitten by the snake.

She wants to use the power of the prefect of Dongchang Mansion to fight the grass and scare the snakes, as long as they transfer, the beggar gang will have a chance.

Hua Qiao smiled at Jia Xiucai:

"I'm the eldest princess, so naturally I have to go to the prefect first."
