Although I don't know how Yi'er found Zhuang Xiu, Yun Xuan is very happy, and when they find the secret letter account book, they have enough chips in their hands to negotiate with Tang Wang, so that it will be much easier to rescue Du Ziwu. After thinking about it, Yun Xuan said: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang wants nothing more than two things in this secret letter account book, and now that this thing is in our hands, we can naturally use this to ask King Tang to release people." ”

Yi'er said: "Does Yun Gongzi think that he should use the secret letter account book to make this deal with Tang Wang?" ”

Yun Xuan said: "Yes, and this is also the fastest way to rescue Master Du now!" ”

Yi'er looked at Zhu Youzhen again and said, "Master Zhu, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "Xiao Sheng's thoughts are different from Brother Yun's, Xiao Sheng thinks that the secret letter account book must not be handed over to King Tang!" ”

"Why?"

Zhu Youzhen said: "Tang Wang, this person, mean and unkind, ruthless, Wang Hong was his confidant at the beginning, he especially said that he would kill him, what kind of deal to talk about with this kind of person, how is it different from seeking skin with a tiger?" Moreover, he only set up an isolation camp outside the city for his own selfishness, even if the plague was controlled, he would not lift the ban, so I don't know how many innocent people were killed. ”

Yun Xuan said: "What Zhu Gongzi said is certainly reasonable, but at the moment, our top priority is to rescue Lord Du, if we don't give the secret letter account book to King Tang, then how can we rescue Lord Du?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "Brother Yun can really be sure that he has handed over what King Tang wants, and King Tang will release him as promised?" ”

"At least there is always a silver lining, it's better than us doing nothing here!"

"If this line of hope is broken, we will have no chips in our hands at that time, and dare to ask Brother Yun at that time, what should everyone do?"

"You ......"

Yi'er said: "Don't fight. Zhu Gongzi, if the things are not given to King Tang, then what do you think, how should we deal with it? ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at Yi'er and said word by word: "Go to Beijing, sue the emperor!" ”

Yun Xuan stood up from his chair and said loudly, "Zhu Youzhen, are you crazy?" Yang Quan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, is the eldest son of today's saint, and has always been deeply favored by the saints, and his mother's family, the Marquis of Weiqin's mansion, is even more in control of the government and the opposition! But now you want to sue the royal court, how can you sue it? ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Even if the Tang King gets the holy favor again, can he be more than the emperor's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?" Now is the first year of Qiming, the first year of the ascendation of the throne of the Holy Lord, this catastrophe occurred in the three northern states, it is the time when people are panicking, at this time, the Tang King incident, Brother Yun still thinks that the emperor will ignore it? Even if the emperor really loves the king of Tang and can't bear to be punished heavily, then at least it is certain that the emperor will immediately relieve the emperor of the Tang Dynasty as the imperial envoy of the king of Tang and recall the person back to the capital. ”

Yun Xuan's face was swollen and red, and he didn't want to agree with Zhu Youzhen's remarks, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he snorted hatefully.

Yi'er said: "But this time back and forth, it will take at least more than ten days to go back and forth to Beijing, and on the way, you have to avoid the eyes and ears of King Tang, and when you arrive in the capital, you have to deal with the matter of suing the emperor. ”

Zhu You stood up, bowed to Yi'er, and said, "If Miss can trust Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is willing to go and run this experience in person." Wanhuazhai has always had business dealings with the jewelry silver building of the Beijing Division, and it is common to ask for darts to carry goods on weekdays, and if Xiaosheng goes out of the city in the dart team of goods, it will not attract anyone's attention. As long as you go out of the city, the small birthday night does not stop, hurry up, and confidently rush to the capital in only three or four days, plus many ways to take care of it, sue the royal writ, and go to the holy decree to North Kaecheng, I believe that if it is fast, it will not be more than half a month! ”

Yun Xuan said: "Lord Du is now in prison, there is a suspicion of precariousness, Zhu Gongzi has come and gone, but he can only mention it verbally for half a month, let me ask, has Zhu Gongzi thought about the safety of Lord Du?" What if the royal petition is not issued in half a month, or if the emperor simply stays in the middle and does not send it? ”

Yi'er smiled, looked at Yun Xuan and said, "Yun Gongzi, the little girl believes that Zhu Gongzi has said it for half a month, and within half a month, there will be good news back!" ”

Yun Xuan was stunned, a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "But, in half a month, Lord Du ......"

Yi'er said: "Yun Gongzi is worried about his father's safety, the little woman is grateful, on my father's side, the little woman will try to rescue people first, as for Tang Wang, I believe that the secret letter account book is in my hand, he casts a mouse trap, perfunctory for half a month, it should be able to be done!" ”

Seeing Yi'er's expression, he had already made up his mind, Yun Xuan always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but it was not easy to argue anymore.

Zhu Youjian stood tall, hugged his fist and saluted Yi'er again, and said: "Miss can believe in Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is also grateful, Miss but please be relieved, but if Xiaosheng still has a breath of air, I will never live up to Miss's trust!" ”

Yun Xuan looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Since Miss has already made up her mind, it is not appropriate for Zhu Gongzi to go to Beijing alone, after all, there are a few people under Xiaosheng, or let them go with Zhu Gongzi, and there will be someone to take care of on the way!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Yun is kind, the little brother understands it, but along the way, there are many people, but it is not as convenient as the little brother to go on the road alone!" ”

Yun Xuan frowned.

Yi'er got up and said, "That being the case, the two sons will wait a while, and the little girl will go and prepare." ”

Yi'er walked out of the room, and Lu Fu was already waiting outside the door, and stepped forward and whispered: "Those two said they wanted to talk to Miss alone!" ”

Yi'er nodded, she was about to go to Dong Qing and Zhuang Xiu to ask for the secret letter book, so she led the three maids directly to the side room where Zhuang Xiu was placed.

Leaving the green Fu Lanqiao outside the door, Yi'er only led Qing Li inside.

Dong Qing and Zhuang Xiu were originally sitting around the table, but when they saw Yi'er coming in, they both got up and stood hand in hand. Dong Qing's face was solemn, Zhuang Xiu's eyes were red, it was obvious that he had just cried, Yi'er bowed gently to the two of them, and sat down on a rattan chair by the wall.

Dong Qing looked at the door and said: "My brother and sister have received the great favor of Miss many times, and they have no way to repay it, let alone mention any conditions with Miss, but now, our situation Miss also knows that we really have no way out, so before handing over that thing to Miss, we also hope that Miss can promise us a condition!" ”

"You want me to save your lives?"

Dong Qing shook his head and said, "Not only that, but I also hope that Miss can take in our brother and sister!" ”

Yi'er was a little surprised: "Take in? ”

Dong Qing said: "As a slave and a servant, a cow and a horse, our brothers and sisters have no complaints, I just hope that Miss can accept us, so far, the lives of our brothers and sisters have been given to Miss, as long as Miss has an order, even if we want our brothers and sisters to die, we will never frown!" ”

"You're trying to sell yourself into slavery?"

"We all have a case record in the yamen, and we are the key criminals who are arrested by painting pictures on the sea fishing documents, and I am afraid that it will not work to sign the deed of sale with the official family's documents, but Miss please believe me Dong Qing, although I am just a young bandit, but I will do what I say, if Miss still does not believe it, I am willing to swear in front of the ancestral tablets of my Dong family!"

Yi'er glanced at Zhuang Xiu and said, "You let Zhuang Niangzi also be a slave with me?" ”

Zhuang Xiu bowed and said, "The slave family is willing to stay by Miss's side and wait!" ”

Yi'er smiled and said, "Why? You can let me save your lives and send you out of the city, when the sky is high and the sea is wide, you can't do whatever you want, why do you want to follow me? ”

Dong Qing said: "Miss is also a person who has experienced the suffering of the people before, and she should know that it is not easy for ordinary people to make a living, let alone people like our brothers and sisters." Frankly speaking, no matter where we go, it is impossible to live in peace, the government's arrest is not mentioned, we can't get a road guide, no matter where we can't find any legitimate livelihood, instead of such a sneaky life, our brothers and sisters have discussed, it is better to follow the young lady, settle down first! ”

Yi'er said: "Do you want me to rearrange your identity so that you can settle down?" ”

Dong Qing said: "Miss is the eldest lady of the prefect's family, I think it should be easy to arrange an identity for our brother and sister by the way, of course, I said before that I defected to Miss and was willing to commit to being a slave is also true, not to mention Miss's great grace to save my life several times, but only Miss rearranged the identity for our brother and sister, only this one, it is also equivalent to my brother and sister's reborn parents, even if my brother and sister are slaves and maids, it is also a matter of course!" ”

"If I have arranged a new identity for you, are you willing to sign a deed of sale and death in your new identity?"

Dong Qing Zhuangxiu glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed down and responded: "Yes!" ”

Yi'er thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but this matter can't be rushed now, first wait for the dust of the matter of King Tang to settle, and then I will think of a way for you!" ”

The two responded, Dong Qing thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing, I want to ask the young lady for consent!" ”

"What's the matter?"

Dong Qing paused for a moment before saying: "After Master Du's three-year term expires in Beikai, Miss will return to Beijing with him, and what our brothers and sisters want Miss to agree to is that when Miss returns to Beijing, I hope to bring our brothers and sisters with me!" ”

Yi'er was stunned, obviously alert, and blurted out: "You want to go to the capital?" ”

Dong Qing nodded solemnly and said, "I don't want to deceive Miss, which is also a very important reason why our brother and sister decided to follow Miss!" ”

"What are you going to do?"

Dong Qing said: "Miss may not know that He Pingyao, the envoy of the Xizhiying Economic Strategy of that day, was transferred back to Beijing by the emperor at that time because of his meritorious service to the bandits, and was crowned the Marquis of Dongshan. ”

Yi'er looked up suddenly, she vaguely remembered that it was the Longqing Mountain bandit in Pingping, the army of the Xizhi Battalion led by He Pingyao, and this Dongshan Hou, why did she always feel that she had heard people talk about it somewhere, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that the last time she went to Yunfu as a guest, Yun Ying had said that the Yun family intended to marry Yun Xuan was the young lady of Dongshan Houfu, and the two sides seemed to have already negotiated, just waiting for the Yun family to come to the door to propose!
