209 Divergence

Master Liu kept screaming.

"So far, all you know is quibbling! Your conscience is eaten by dogs! ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper Qiu's emotions were difficult to suppress, Zhang Jing pulled the person away from behind the screen.

Zhang Meishou was keenly aware of Master Liu's strangeness and eagerness, and asked Ah Li to step forward and temporarily take out the cloth towel from his mouth.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Meishou looked at him for a moment.

"Qi Zhi County has sent people to hunt down and kill Shopkeeper Qiu, but the people who can be sent out have never been out of the city!" Master Liu gasped and said.

How could they have expected that Shopkeeper Qiu and his party would have the ability to escape from the city?

"Those people are dressed as officials, it's not who else you can have!" Outside the screen, Shopkeeper Qiu only regarded Master Liu's words as quibbles.

Zhang Meishou doesn't think so.

Master Liu has admitted so many things, and there is really no reason to lie about this matter alone.

And if those officials who went to kill Shopkeeper Qiu and others were not Qi County's subordinates, who would they be?

Don't think about it, you must regard Shopkeeper Qiu and the others as a threat, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

In addition to the Qi County Order, who else threatened the shopkeeper Qiu who planned to stop the Qin Cha to report the shady disaster relief?

"Maybe it's the county order of several other counties." Zhang Jing frowned and said, "They are now in the same boat as Qi County Lingke. ”

Zhang Meishou didn't speak.

The third uncle's guess is not impossible.

But could there be something else they don't know?

She struggled to recall her impressions of the flood in her previous life.

In addition to the catastrophe that had never been seen in a century, what impressed her the most was the riot that killed thousands of victimsβ€”she was too young to hear much at this time in her last life.

And at that time, she was far away in the capital, and it was easy to distort the message transmission.

She remembered that after she entered the Prince's Mansion, she happened to hear Zhu Youzhu and Liu Jian and Lord Liu talk about the flood, and after many years, the two of them said many of their own opinions on this matter, as well as some doubts.

Before the riot ended, before Lord Liu arrived, it seemed that the current commander of the Huzhou Mansion Guard Command Department, Xiang Yun, led the troops to suppress it.

Instead of the old man Nan Wensheng, who is now serving as the commander-in-chief.

What did Old Man Nan do at that time?

Zhang Meishou's mind was chaotic, and the conversations she heard decades ago were not important to her at that time, so she couldn't remember them clearly.

In short, in the cognition of Zhu Youzhu and Lord Liu in the previous life, the case of the disaster riot seemed to be a little strange from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Meishou gently tapped his head with his index finger.

She inexplicably had the illusion of regretting not being the first because she didn't listen carefully to her husband's lecture, and - I really want to catch Zhu Youzhu and ask for clarification!

"As soon as it gets dark tonight, I will leave to take this dog master to Huzhou Mansion to meet the prefect."

Shopkeeper Qiu said to Zhang Jing: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your help in this adventure, I and the people of Huzhou must be remembered!" After Lord Qincha arrives, Qiu will definitely take the villagers to try to see, or prepare a joint letter, and talk to Lord Qincha about Brother Zhang's righteous and courageous actions. ”

He seemed to have decided that as long as he could take Master Liu to see the prefect of Huzhou, he would be able to bring down Qi Ming and the others in one fell swoop.

Zhang Jing shook his head and said: "These are not enough for the Tao, just do a little bit." ”

Ahem, and more than half of this meager power is from the three girls.

"Since Shopkeeper Qiu has made this decision, then I will send a few entourages to escort Shopkeeper Qiu." Zhang Jing said.

Whether the trip was dangerous or not, it was impossible for him to go there himself. At the moment, the most important thing for him is to find the whereabouts of his second brother as soon as possible.

He couldn't interfere too much in the rest of the matter.

"Brother Zhang's intention to help each other, Qiu is unforgettable." Shopkeeper Qiu bowed to Zhang Jingchang.

Zhang Jing shook his head with a smile and avoided: "It doesn't have to be like this."

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Zhang Meishou hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, I don't think it's appropriate to rush to the prefect at this time."

"Why?" Feeling that he was ready, he could set off after dark, and the shopkeeper Qiu, who was excited in his heart, was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"One, there will probably be an ambush on the road."

Before Zhang Meishou's words could be finished, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper Qiu: "I have to go sooner or later, how can I be afraid of wolves and tigers?" If you want to succeed, you have to take risks! ”

Besides, he can also disguise himself again, and those people who are ambushed by Qi Ming may not be able to recognize him.

Besides, isn't there still an entourage lent to him by Brother Zhang?

"Okay, even if you can get to the mansion safely, how can Shopkeeper Qiu be sure that the mansion is safe?"

"What does the little boy mean by this?" Shopkeeper Qiu began to frown slightly.

"Several counties and county orders have joined forces to resell disaster relief food, the situation is so serious, within the government office, can't even spread the slightest news? Perhaps, someone pretended not to seeβ€”"

"The little boy is suspicious of the prefect?!" Shopkeeper Qiu's expression changed greatly, and his eyes were full of displeasure when he looked at Zhang Meishou.

"The prefect loves the people like a son, and he is extremely honest, and there is no one in Huzhou who does not praise him!"

"Qiu is in charge of the shopkeeper and there is no need to be excited, there is no malice in the child's speech." Zhang Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Meishou to his side.

"I didn't say that the person who pretended not to see must be the prefect, there are so many officials in the government, if someone wants to deliberately deceive the Wu prefect, it is not difficult to come."

Zhang Meishou was not affected by the mood of the shopkeeper Qiu, and continued: "Now that the situation is unknown, it is still unknown how many people are involved in the resale of disaster relief food. ”

Master Liu said that Qi Ming did not send people out of the city to kill the victims, so who can know who sent those people?

In the previous life, the prefect of Wu was innocent, and was also praised by the emperor for his timely suppression of the victims and the post-disaster remedial measures.

But that doesn't mean he's completely trustworthy.

Zhang Jing was secretly frightened when he heard this, and his eyes when he looked at Zhang Meishou changed again.

Is this really what a little girl in a boudoir can say?

But Shopkeeper Qiu didn't listen at all at this time, but became more and more excited.

"So what? Wait and see? But even if I can wait now, how can the victims wait? The little boy has been clothed and fed since he was a child, even if he is in Huzhou at this time, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing - but the people outside are different! One more day of delay, and I wonder how many people will die as a result! ”

Zhang Meishou was silent for a moment.

"Shopkeeper Qiu is bent on taking risks, blindly taking the Huzhou Mansion as a life-saving straw, but what if it is a tiger and wolf den? I am afraid that Mr. Qiu will not only be unable to save the victims, but will also be difficult to save himself. The victims who escorted the shopkeeper Qiu out of the city before were sacrificed in vain. ”

"Is it because of this unfounded speculation that the lives of countless victims will be in vain?" Shopkeeper Qiu seemed to be stung by the second half of Zhang Meishou's words, flicked his sleeves, and turned around.

He took a deep breath and calmed down and said, "I am grateful that the little boy managed to save me from the city earlier. But now that he is obstructing like this, isn't it afraid that the matter will come to an end? In this case, I don't need your entourage to send it off, so as not to affect your mansion at that time! ”
