Chapter 315: First Strikes is Stronger

Although the concerns in their mouths sound ridiculous, they truly reflect the true hearts of ordinary people, even if some people work hard for a lifetime, they may not be able to see a trip to the capital, let alone meet the big people in the capital, the people in that city, even if they are just a nine-grade sesame official, can make them unable to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.

Wan Bingyu sighed in her heart, took out a jade pendant from her waist and handed it over.

"Madame, what are you?"

She explained with a smile: "This jade pendant can prove my identity, and when you go to the capital, take this jade pendant to the mansion of the Seventh Prince to ask for a meeting, and by the way, report my name, and the guard will definitely let you in." ”

If the expression on their faces was cramped and uneasy when Heng Xinyuan and Wan Bingyu asked the couple to go to the capital, then after Wan Bingyu said Li Wenyao's name, the expression on their faces was fear.

That's His Royal Highness, even if they work hard for a few lifetimes, they may not be as good as each other's Royal Highness who has a hair!

The couple was terrified: "We ......"

Before they could finish speaking, Ah Wan opened her mouth first, if it weren't for the fact that her legs and feet were injured and it was inconvenient to walk, I'm afraid Ah Wan would have rushed to do this errand!

"Uncle, aunt, don't hesitate, Lord Heng is a good person, they want to send a letter back to the capital, it must be to rectify the corrupt officials in Liangzhou City, we are already like this, can it be worse? It's a big deal to lose your life, so you can promise him! ”

They do business outside all the year round, and a pair of children are raised under the knees of their parents in their hometown, and they never thought that they would encounter mountain bandits this year, because a pair of children lost their lives in the mountain bandit disaster. Just like Awan's words, for them, the situation couldn't be worse!

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and asked, "My lord, can I ask what is written in your letter, whether it is a matter of rectifying mountain bandits?" ”

"Not bad."

After all, the couple in front of them were also poor people who had been victimized by mountain bandits, so Heng Xinyuan did not hide what they meant.

"This is a letter to be sent to the capital, and the content of it is related to the mountain bandits."

The woman tearfully held her husband's hand: "Let's agree, after the two children died at the hands of the bandits, I only think about revenge all day long, if those mountain bandits are not punished, I will not be able to live with peace of mind in this life, since the adults said that the letter sent to the capital is related to the extermination of the mountain bandits, we should do our best!" ”

The pain of losing a loved one turns into resentment and gives them endless strength.

The cowardly-looking couple agreed to Heng Xinyuan's request and decided to leave directly tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, the messenger who had delivered the letterhead to the capital by land also departed.

For Xu Shi, this is a very unstable day, he was pretending to be sick and he didn't want to be too public, but the situation did not allow him to keep his head down, when his subordinates came to report that Heng Xinyuan had read the county chronicles, and wrote a letter back to the capital, the first thought in Xu Shi's mind was that he was finished.

Heng Xinyuan suddenly went to inspect the county records, it must have been because he found something strange! Maybe he's already aware of Minjin's affairs by now! As soon as he heard that the messengers had left Liangzhou City, Xu Shi couldn't care about anything else, and directly ordered someone to stop the messenger and take the letter from him by the way.

At this time, Xu Shi was waiting in his mansion.

"My lord, my lord, I brought something back!"

Xu Shi's eyes lit up, and he didn't care that he was pretending to be sick, so he walked directly in the direction of the door: "Where is the letter, let me see!" ”

The subordinate respectfully handed the letterhead to Xu Shi's hand, Xu Shi opened the letter and looked at it, and the expression on his face was suddenly very exciting: "Are you sure that the letterhead that Heng Xinyuan wants to send back to the capital is this one, and nothing else?" ”

The subordinate shook his head blankly: "The messenger only has this letter in his hand, and it is impossible to take the wrong one." ”

Xu Shi's body shook and almost fell to the ground.

The letterhead that the subordinate got back was indeed from Heng Xinyuan's hand, but the content was not as Xu Shi guessed, he originally thought that the letter he got back would be written about Minzhen, but when he got it back, he saw the nonsense on it, yes, it was all about Heng Xinyuan's experience after coming to Liangzhou City, as well as its center, the most informative thing on the letterhead was Chen Lin's matter!

Xu Shi felt that he should have been put in a position by Heng Xinyuan, it was impossible for those two people to still know nothing about Minzhen after inspecting the county records!

"Are you sure the letter was sent by the messenger? Who else has come out of Heng Xinyuan's mansion today? ”

The official in charge of keeping an eye pondered for a moment before saying: "In addition to the messenger, there is also a couple who have come out of their courtyard, that couple is a new face, and the subordinates have inquired about their identities, saying that they are related to that girl Awan, and they went to live in the house last night to visit the little girl, and those two are ordinary businessmen.......

Intuition told Xu Shi that there must be something strange in it.

"What kind of business are they doing?"

"It looks like a freight business...... begging for a living on the water. ”

Xu Shi's wit moved, he almost couldn't breathe in one breath, the messenger must be a trick sent by Heng Xinyuan, the couple begging for a life on the water is the key to Heng Xinyuan and Wan Bingyu to report to the capital, Xu Shi immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered someone to chase the couple through the waterway: "Don't listen to what they say, just kill it!" ”

The subordinates were so frightened by this cruel method that their faces turned pale: "My lord, isn't this not very good...... Even if the couple is going to the capital to report the news, now that most of the time has passed, I am afraid that they have already left the waters of the Huai River, and it is probably too late for our people to chase after them now......"

Xu Shi glared at him viciously: "No matter what you do, how the official orders, you just do it!" Don't hurry up and do something! ”

"My subordinates will go."

After his subordinates left, Xu Shi was not idle, and went directly to meet his allies with a letterhead.

When he told the other party all his guesses and what he had done, the allies showed a disapproving expression, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Xu Shiji's face turned red: "This is a big deal!" If the imperial court learns about it, it will definitely send an army to suppress it, and you and I won't be able to run away at that time! Things have come to this point, don't you think it's important at all? ”

The other party raised his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Lord Xu is really worried, Liangzhou is far away from the capital, even if it is the fastest speed, it will have to be delayed for more than two months on the road, and when the imperial court sends troops to come, I am afraid that Liangzhou City has already changed."

Xu Shi furrowed his brows and took a step back: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, what else can I mean, Lord Xu, have you forgotten our original agreement?"
