The carriage went fast.

Six or seven people with a red bean that could not see the light did not go out of the city overnight, but stayed for another night, and after rushing to open the city gate early in the morning, they left in disguise.

She no longer has any meaning of staying in Fan County, but Wuyi is still here, and for this child who is not related by blood but is like a biological mother and daughter, Hongdou is always at ease.

Before leaving, she agreed with those people to see Wuyi, although Wuyi was asleep at that time, and she wouldn't even know that Hongdou had looked at her stupidly before leaving.

Sitting in the carriage, her body swaying with the carriage, Hongdou was full of thoughts, she tapped on the window frame of the carriage, and the people riding horses outside came over.

"If I'm gone like this, who should I behead the day after tomorrow?" She asked.

The person outside bent his neck and leaned to the side of the window, his breath was steady: "You don't have to worry about this, the master has already arranged it." ”

"Did you say anything else?" Hongdou paused, and then spoke again: "For example, where are you going to take me?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." After the people outside said this, they rode away from the horse again, and Hongdou knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he sat down in the carriage with peace of mind.

She knew that this road was not going to the capital.

As soon as Hongdou left Fan County, the capital got the news.

Li Hongzhi was sitting on the couch on the side, holding an ivory chess piece between his fingers, listening to Sanyu's words, he nodded: "I thought it would be too late, but the kid surnamed Zhang was probably going to scold me to death." ”

"He wouldn't dare." Sanyu also smiled and said softly.

Li Hongzhi shook his head, with no sorrow on his face: "What does he dare not do?" Anyway, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and I can't do anything to him. ”

"If Your Majesty wants to punish him, the slave will send someone to ask Gu Li to return......"

"Eh, I'm just going to say that, don't be so serious, I really want to push that kid into a hurry, maybe I really came to the capital to fight with me by myself, maybe I'll run away with something, and then the plan will be all disrupted by him, according to his temperament, it's not that he can't do this." Li Hongzhi waved his hand and put the chess pieces up.

"Your Majesty is magnanimous."

Li Hongzhi smiled, stroked his sleeve, and stuffed back the red rope that was accidentally exposed.

The thing was done, and the red beans were sent away, which was probably part of the real start of the plan, and Li Hongzhi seemed to be in a good mood.

Sure enough, in response to Li Hongzhi's words, Zhang Jiusheng followed Guan Chu to patrol the city all day, tired and hungry and didn't ask anything, couldn't help but be depressed, they sat on a wonton stand, and when the wontons were served, Zhang Jiusheng picked up the tea bowl at hand and took a sip, grabbed Guan Chu's sleeve and wiped his mouth.

"What a fucking bastard! Throw such a mess at me, and he doesn't want to think about where I can find a murderer in this little place? ”

Guan Chu was a little stunned when he heard this: "My lord, who are you scolding?" ”

"Of course I'm scolding ......" Zhang Jiusheng was just about to blurt out, but when he saw Guan Chu's face, he immediately sobered up and patted his head: "Of course it's the one who scolded me." ”

Guan Chu nodded, as if he understood: "My lord, who took her away?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng rubbed his nose, looked at the people coming in and out of the city gate, and hiccuped: "The people above." ”

When Guan Chu heard this, he originally thought that Hongdou was not an idle person, but he never thought that he had something to do with the people above, and he took the person away when he was about to be beheaded, which is good, it is indeed a huge problem for Zhang Jiusheng.

"My lord, this is not easy to do, and the people are waiting to see."

Do you need to say that?

The murderer of the Xiao family's murder case was not found before, and the missing Lu Zhi was not found later, and now there is no prisoner who is about to be executed, Zhang Jiusheng is so annoyed that he scratches his ears and cheeks.

After patrolling the city all day, the people who asked were getting annoyed, Guan Chu was used to it, his body was very good, and Zhang Jiusheng couldn't do it, he had never been able to wander the streets of the city all day, and when he walked down this day, his body and bones were going to fall apart.

Zhang Jiusheng was sitting on the bench, and when he was in a daze, the owner of the wonton stall came over with two bowls of wontons, threw a clean rag on his shoulder, and said with a sincere smile: "The two of you eat well, you need to add more." ”

"Eh, boss!" Zhang Jiusheng suddenly shouted.

The boss turned around, rubbed his hands, and looked at Zhang Jiusheng: "What do you have to say from the guest officer?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng rubbed his nose, a little nervous, and asked, "Ask you personally, do you know the young master of the Xiao family?" ”

Guan Chu was carefully holding chopsticks and preparing to eat a bite of wontons, the wontons that had just come out of the pot were hot, this time listening to Zhang Jiusheng's words, one was confiscated, and the hot wontons went down his mouth into his throat, burning all the way to his stomach, so hot that Guan Chu grinned and poured herbal tea into his mouth.

Zhang Jiusheng frowned and looked at Guan Chu like a monkey, and kicked Guan Chu's buttocks: "What are you doing?" What about monkeys? Scare Lao Tzu and eat it! ”

The boss has a simple face, and he has been selling wontons in this Fan County for decades, but he is just alone, and he just listens to the rumors outside, and he never worries about it, so this small life is also comfortable.

"Are you talking about the Xiao family that was wiped out a few days ago?" He asked, as if in confirmation.

Zhang Jiusheng nodded.

The boss half-tilted his head and thought about it carefully: "I've seen it, I'm really an arrogant and domineering kid, but if I had so much money, I guess I would walk sideways like this, right?" ”

Guan Chu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what he said was also reasonable.

"Have you seen it? Is that still an impression? Zhang Jiusheng saw that this boss was not such an unreasonable person, but became enthusiastic.

The boss also nodded, rubbed his hand on the white cloth, and said: "There are still some impressions, the young master of the Xiao family looks almost as tall as you, there seems to be a red mole between his eyebrows, which is very charming, and it is particularly incompatible with his style of acting." I've also heard people say that he is the reincarnation of a demon star, and he has come to bring disaster to the world. ”

Guan Chu held back a smile, Zhang Jiusheng glared at him, and after thanking the boss, he sat down and ate the wontons slowly.

This boss gave him very important information, the red mole on Xiao Hengyan's eyebrows, which is a detail that is very easy to be overlooked, and the painting given to him by Lu Zhi, as well as Xiao Hengyan, who currently lives in Zhangfu, does not have this red mole.

Zhang Jiusheng clenched his fists, and the fight a while ago was not in vain.

"My lord, the person on the painting seems to be ......" Guan Chu saved Zhang Jiusheng last time, and accidentally saw the portrait that Zhang Jiusheng used to inquire about the people, and the person on the painting is indeed very similar to Xiao Hengyan, but it is true that there is no red mole on the eyebrows that the boss said.

Zhang Jiusheng put his finger in front of his mouth and shushed out, Guan Chu nodded, and stopped talking.

When the sun set, Zhang Jiusheng dragged his tired body back to Zhang's mansion, and before the chair was hot, the head of the yamen prison came again.

Zhang Jiusheng was annoyed when he saw him now, frowned, and asked, "Why are you here again?" What's going on again? ”

The cell boss also knew that he had bad luck on him, touched his nose, approached Zhang Jiusheng and said, "The person is back again." ”

Zhang Jiusheng was already in a bad mood, and he was very tired after running around outside for a day, so he didn't have the heart to listen to what the cell boss said, so he only frowned and asked, "Who is back?" ”

The cell boss leaned closer: "Red beans." ”

"What's that?!" Zhang Jiusheng's voice changed a few tones.

"Not long after dinner today, she came back dressed in black and covered with a black cloth on her face." The cell boss said mysteriously, and Zhang Jiusheng stared at each other.

"Came back alone?" Zhang Jiusheng couldn't believe it and asked again.

"Came back alone." The cell boss replied in the affirmative.

Zhang Jiusheng swallowed his saliva, and a cold sweat unconsciously broke out in his palms, this thing is really strange, shouldn't it? I just left last night, why did I come back today? She herself is clamoring to come back? That's not even more deserved, it's going to be beheaded the day after tomorrow, who is in a hurry to lose his head? Red bean brain got into the water?

"Are you sure it's an azuki bean?" Zhang Jiusheng still couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that Hongdou was a person who went back on his word, and he didn't believe that the person in the capital would agree to let Hongdou go back to his own death.

"Not sure." The cell boss hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Zhang Jiusheng followed with a slap on the door of the prison head, and said angrily: "I'm not sure you're chirping with me here?" ”

The cell head touched his head and said, "My lord, her whole body is tightly wrapped, and she shows a pair of eyes, so that the ghost can recognize her?" It's just that the body shape is somewhat similar, and it can be seen that it is a woman, so it ...... Hence ......"

"I see." Zhang Jiusheng thought about it, but decided to follow the cell boss to the prison to have a look, he always felt unsteady in his heart.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Zhang Jiusheng followed the cell head to the county government prison, all the way to the cell where the red bean was originally held, and the woman sat where the red bean had been sitting before, and the black robe on her body was not removed, and the black cloth on her face was still covered.

Zhang Jiusheng stood outside, looking at her carefully for a long time, and then understood that this woman was indeed not a red bean, she was here to replace the red bean, after all, it was another life, Zhang Jiusheng couldn't bear it.

The cell boss opened the door and left, he didn't want to get involved in these things at all, the less he knew, the safer.

"Who are you?" Zhang Jiusheng walked into the death row and stood in front of the woman.

It took a long time for the woman to open her eyes, her eyes seemed to be blank, and she didn't know where she was looking, and it took a long time before she slowly raised her head again, looking at Zhang Jiusheng, through the black cloth covering her face, her voice sounded like an urn.

"I'm Red Bean."

Zhang Jiusheng laughed angrily at this reply, simply copied a stool from the side, sat down, supported his knees with both hands, leaned forward slightly, leaned forward slightly, and leaned in front of the woman, and said, "You are just rushing to die for others?" Even if you don't tell me why, at least leave me a name. ”

Hearing this, the woman's godless eyes became more bright, and she seemed to be glad that there were still people who cared about her name, but that joy fell like a meteor in an instant.

She bowed her head and didn't say a word.
