Chapter 15: Concubine Zhang Xian's suspicions
Concubine Zhang Xian didn't believe Xingyao at all, and questioned: "The new palace maids are all in the Inner Division, on the other side of Kyocera Lake, several miles away from here, how can you get by?" ”
"The little girl was punished for violating the palace rules and threw herself into the lake to drink water. Xingyao replied truthfully.
"It's too careless for human life, if you can't swim, won't you drown?" Zhu Qian said angrily.
Concubine Zhang Xian snorted and said contemptuously: "You swim from Huxi to Hudong, a full two miles away, is it possible?" I've never heard of anyone who can swim so far in one go, fooling anyone?! Don't be fooled! ”
After all, the son is young and easily deceived.
When he said this to his mother, Zhu Luo also muttered in his heart, yes, it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
Xing Yao saw that the mother and son were so suspicious that it was boring to stay, so he thanked: "Since the little girl escaped, it's time to go back and recover her life." Thank you for your hospitality and disturb the mother. With that, she turned and left.
Xingyao was so upright, Zhu Luo couldn't bear it, and wanted to keep her, but was stopped by Concubine Zhang Xian and said: "Everyone has their own fate, let her go!" ”
"Mother, she finally escaped death and saved me, we didn't give any reward, and she said it so ugly, it seems that we are unkind, how bad!" Zhu Yao's face was full of regret.
"The devil knows where she came from, but how did she get it if someone else sent a spy to take the opportunity to plant it around you to confuse you? Beware of making a ship of ten thousand years! Concubine Zhang Xian persuaded.
"What she said is true or false, can't you understand when you go to the inner masaji and ask?" Zhu Yi is still reluctant.
"Confused!" Concubine Zhang Xian said angrily, "Nei Zhengsi is the territory of Emperor Li, she asked people to play a scene of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, what should I do if I send this fox spirit to you to harm you?" Mother is not a fool, is she so easy to fool? Don't be confused, my mother is for your good! ”
Although Zhu Luo couldn't let go of the girl who saved him, he felt that what the mother concubine said was also reasonable, so he gave up for the time being.

The thieves gang is very well organized, but there is no information that cannot be bought under the heavy money:
The military advisor is not lustful, not greedy for money, loves to read, and always lives in a simple place, and ordinary people can't see him at all.
But he was extremely filial, and every month he would visit his old mother in the stone village outside the city.
His elderly mother was widowed at a young age and had eye disease.
Now because she heard that her son had joined the thieves' gang, she was worried, afraid that he would one day be arrested by the government and imprisoned, and her eye disease became more and more serious.

On a sunny morning, a carriage departed from Qufu, followed by Ah Niu as an escort.
The secret agent arranged by Yingsheng outside Qufu immediately reported the matter.
"Check carefully, and if there is a man hiding in the car, intercept it immediately." The battalion voice ordered the spies.
He never believed that the crown prince Zhu Qi was not in Qufu.
If Zhu Qi is in Qufu, he has to find a way to come out.
He asked people to keep an eye on it outside Qufu day and night, and sure enough, Zhu Qi wanted to slip away.
The carriage was about to leave the city gate, and the forbidden army opened the curtain to inspect it and prepare to let it go.
"Slow!" The chief of the East Factory came with a few fans, saying that there were anti-thieves in the city, and every car must be specially inspected.
The chief lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw only Mrs. Qu and a maid, and there was nothing suspicious, so he had to let him go.
The carriage stopped all the way outside the city, and Mrs. Qu got off from time to time to take a look at the scenery.
After making sure that no one was following, they came to Stone Village.
The carriage stopped at the door of Thousandfinger's mother's house and knocked on the door to ask for water.
