Looking at the corpse on the ground, Chen Zhong was still a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Hua Niang's most resentment should be him and Ripples, not this master, why did the killer invited only target this master, could there be something strange about it?

He took advantage of the fact that everyone had not woken up, carefully searched the man's body, and found a red sweat towel around his waist, although the sweat towel was about the same length, but from the perspective of craftsmanship, it did not look like something from Hangzhou, but like Hunan embroidery.

"It's really strange, these nobles didn't come from that side, how could someone from there want to kill him?"

Chen Zhong looked at this sweat towel, and couldn't help but have some doubts, but he was more glad that he was there today, otherwise it would be impossible to say if these nobles died in their sleep.

But this matter is not the most important thing, this restaurant should be unsafe at the moment, but several nobles are in a coma, how should this be?

He tried to push, and Murong Jue, who was lying on the table and fell asleep, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail, and it was very difficult to do for a while.

"Looks like I can't sleep tonight, so I'll have to keep watch here. ”

Chen Zhong thought so.

Pulled up a stool, drank to himself beside him, looked at the ripples that fell into a stupor, his heart was full of sweetness, now they were finally able to achieve positive results, and the road was also very difficult.

"But as long as you, everything is easy to say. ”

He drank cup after cup, and the wine was excellent, and he did not get drunk until it was dawn.

"Master, this is something found on that person, look at it, but it looks familiar?"

Chen Zhong saw that everyone finally came to his senses, and hurriedly handed the sweat towel found from that person to Murong Zhu, Murong Zhu took a closer look, it was really the best in Hunan embroidery, generally most of this kind of things are offered, ordinary and rich, and people can't get it, so he can also deduce who the person who wants to harm them is.

"This person is not in Hunan, but in the capital, it seems that he is our old friend, and he is starting to be dishonest again. ”

Anger burst out in Murong Jue's eyes, Ye Teng's old thing actually wanted to kill the emperor, this is a big crime, it seems that he can't keep him at all.

"Master, although there is this sweat towel right now, it is not enough to prove it, even if we go back, we can't dispose of him. ”

"Of course I know this, this sweat towel is not his thing, if I remember correctly, the emperor has never rewarded him with such a thing, but gave it to the general. ”

Murong has a very good memory, plus there are not many embroideries on this offering, and there are even fewer sweat towels, it takes about two or three years to make offerings every other day, and there are very few people who can use it, and among these people, there are only the generals who clearly stand on Ye Teng's side.

"Looks like they're in a hurry to give us a chance. ”

"Then shall we go back to the capital first, or ......?"

Gao Qixuan felt that it was a little difficult to deal with at this time, you must know that assassination is not a trivial matter, such a major event should have been investigated quickly, but disaster relief is even more important, compared with the two, it is very difficult to choose.

"Don't worry, he can't run away, if he runs, he will admit the crime himself, if he doesn't run, he will only have a dead end, let's go to Suzhou first." ”

Murong Jue originally planned to go to Suzhou in two days, but now that such a situation occurred, he could only leave quickly and return to the capital to deal with these things.

"Master, in that case, can my husband and I ......?"

"Master, I'll go with you. ”

Ripple originally wanted to take this opportunity to let Chen Zhong rest in Hangzhou City, wait until he healed his injuries, and then follow them, but he didn't expect Chen Zhong to take the initiative to ask to go with him, which made Ripple a little surprised.

"But husband, your wounds ......"

As a woman, Ripple is of course careful, and she is very worried about whether the wound on Chen Zhong's body will recur, and what if something goes wrong on the road at that time.

But Chen Zhong knows his life very well, and the love and affection he can have now with Ripple Affection are all given by Murong Jie, a chivalrous and tender person like her naturally regards kindness more than everything, and he can't care about the wounds on his body, so he must go with him.

"Ripples, don't worry, I'm fine, you know, my lord and their family, but there is a doctor with them, even if something goes wrong on the road, at least someone will see a doctor for me, right?"

Since even Chen Zhong himself said so, Ripple naturally couldn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement.

So, in the afternoon of this day, everyone left for Suzhou.

Xu is taking care of Chen Zhong and Lianyi, and Murong Jue and Su Yang specially arranged a carriage for them separately, which is convenient for the two of them to be friends with each other, and second, it is also convenient for Chen Zhong to recuperate.

Suzhou is not far from Hangzhou, and it takes three or four days to arrive.

On weekdays, Suzhou City can be described as singing and dancing, drunk and golden, and prosperous, but today's Suzhou City has survived the locust plague and experienced famine, so it is naturally very fragile.

When the carriage was still some distance away from Suzhou City, I saw many refugees supporting each other to flee Suzhou City, all of them starved and thin, and some lost their strength on the way, fell to the ground, and died.

Su Yang couldn't bear to look at such a scene, so he said to Murong Jue, who was sitting on the side, "Can we give them porridge here?"

"We don't have a lot of food on this trip, if we give porridge to these refugees outside the city, the refugees in the city will have no food, let's take a look. ”

When Murong Jue said this, although he looked light, he was very worried in his heart, outside the city wall, inside the city wall, I am afraid it will be even more terrifying.

But when everyone came to Suzhou City, they found that there were two worlds inside and outside the city, and the residents outside the city were all thin and hungry, but the city of Suzhou was singing and dancing, as usual, which made Murong Jue a little annoyed.

"It seems that this city of Suzhou is not as miserable as they said when they played. ”

Su Yang could see how angry Murong Jue was at the moment, he had always thought that Ye Teng's gang didn't let him come to Jiangnan because they didn't want him to win over the people, but he didn't expect that the disaster relief funds allocated every year were all squandered, and some people falsely reported the disaster, which was really hateful.

"Don't be angry, sir, it's useless for you to be in a hurry here, it's better for us to go to the governor of Suzhou City first, and then it's not too late to make plans." ”

Murong Jue would actually go to the governor of Suzhou City, but the most important thing at the moment was not to do so, but to open a porridge shop outside the city first to give the refugees a chance to feed themselves.

"Let Chen Zhong and them go to the inn first, and let's go out of the city first. ”
