Chapter 776: Suspicious
This night, for Zhou Zheng, was a restless night, Mung Bean disappeared, the masked man who robbed the dungeon fled, and what annoyed him the most was that Zhou Jin was robbed. When he went to the Jade Residence, he couldn't enter the door, and he couldn't see the sick guard, which made him feel uncertain, was it such a coincidence that Zhou Jin had just been robbed, and the guard of the King of Bei'an was sick? But Cheng Mo arrived in Yangzhou, full of calculations, it was only the next day, less than twenty-four hours, what could he do in such a short time? In other words, ordinary people can't recognize the whole road, right?
However, Cheng Mo is not an ordinary person. Thinking of Cheng Mo's strong rise, in just two or three years, he became a celebrity in front of two generations of emperors, and in the year of the weak crown, he was the prime minister of the dynasty, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and was crowned the king of Bei'an because of his merits, Zhou Zheng was even more uneasy.
Usually Mung Bean follows him, and will give him some vicious ideas, but now that Mung Bean is gone, he is irritable, scolds a few henchmen, and goes to the study alone.
The dungeon was robbed, and the entrance was wide open, like a dark and secluded hole, ready to swallow him at any time.
"Old Jie, how do you do things?" He called Lao Jie, a henchman who guarded the dungeon, guarded the "prisoners", and delivered food to the "prisoners", and scolded him and kicked a few times by the way.
Lao Jie felt very aggrieved, it was not his fault that the masked man robbed the dungeon in the middle of the night, he noticed that something was wrong outside, and quickly pulled the bell to call someone, it was useless to nurse the house in the house, let people run away, can you blame him? But the master is angry, he shouldn't be a punching bag, who should be?
After being kicked a few times on the buttocks, Lao Jie lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and said: "Ah Lang, Yangzhou City is full of your people, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" The official who is bigger than you is the king of Bei'an, maybe he sent someone to do it. You arrested him, tried it first, and everything must have come out. ”
If you don't get into trouble, he still has to be kicked, the king of Bei'an is such a powerful existence, and it is expected that the master of the house does not have the courage to find trouble with him. Lao Jie's small abacus was loud, Zhou Zheng covered the sky in Yangzhou with one hand, and they also followed sideways, what is the king of Bei'an, but he is just a foreigner, no matter how awesome he is, he only brings a dozen guards, how can Zhou Zheng be the head snake? The important thing now is to calm Zhou Zheng's anger.
Zhou Zheng's eyes stared, and after thinking about it, since Cheng Mo arrived in Yangzhou, the guards first shot mung beans, and then called him over to lecture. said that he was traveling in the mountains and rivers, but he didn't see him lingering among the green mountains and green waters, but wandered around the city, and he didn't know what to say to the bad old man in the small hotel.
"Changing clothes, preparing the car." He didn't care about the fatigue of a sleepless night, and immediately rushed to the Jade House by car.
This time, he was told that the king of Bei'an had not woken up from a sound sleep. Shen San also didn't sleep all night, he kept guarding downstairs, his eyes were red, and he said, "The third floor is quiet, it seems that King Bei'an really didn't get up." ”
In the middle of the night, he touched the third floor, peeped at the staircase, and saw that there were only two guards standing guard at the door of Cheng Mo, those two were like tree stumps, standing still, and peeping again at dawn, it was still the case, thinking that they were afraid of disturbing Cheng Mo, so they didn't make a sound.
"Haven't gotten up yet? How many hours have you been sleeping? Zhou Zheng didn't need to hide in front of Shen San, and looked at the direction of the stairs as he spoke, where there was no sound.
Cheng Mo really hasn't gotten up yet, he didn't go to bed until dawn, how could he get up so early. But his guards were not idle, Heizi took two people and took Guo Bo and others to a safe place according to the address provided by Zhou Jin. The old doctor who was the bone for Zhou Jin came forward and bought a two-entry yard and placed Guo Bo and others and their wives and children, the yard was bought in a hurry, a little smaller, and more than a dozen families lived in a little crowded, but it was better than where they originally lived.
Guo Bo and others learned that Zhou Jin was beaten half to death, thrown into prison, and almost starved to death, so distressed that tears were about to come out, and they repeatedly said that they wanted to see him. Zhou Zheng even dared to make a black hand to the imperial history sent by the imperial court, let alone these unarmed people? Can you die if you don't leave? Therefore, when the yard was bought, they left immediately, and there was nothing valuable at home, so they only brought a few changes of clothes and went to the new yard in batches.
After settling them, not long after Heizi returned to Jade House, Cheng Mo woke up, went to visit Zhou Jin first, saw that his fever had subsided a little, and it was estimated that he would be able to subside tomorrow, and then ordered Zhou Zheng to come in.
Zhou Zheng met Shen San at the staircase and brought a few guys into the dishes that I didn't know whether it should be considered breakfast or lunch, there were roast lambs, and there was also gruel, in short, breakfast and lunch were served together, and Cheng Mo was left to choose.
Zhou Zheng was dressed in a milky white light fur, and said to Zhou Zheng with a smile: "It is said that the weather in Jiangnan is warm, I think, this weather is similar to the capital." ”
In early spring, early February, the temperature is still a little cold.
Zhou Zheng finished his salute and said, "The prince thinks that the climate of Yangzhou is similar to that of the capital?" Xia Guan also thinks so. ”
Whatever you say is what it is.
Cheng Mo smiled casually, noncommittal, waited for Shen San to take his men to set up the dishes and chopsticks, respectfully invited him to eat, and said, "Do you want Zhou Zhoumu to eat together?" ”
A large table full of dishes, the aroma went straight to the nose, hooking people and slanderers. Zhou Zheng swallowed his saliva and said, "The prince is gracious, and the lower officials are disrespectful." ”
"Come, sit down." Cheng Mo greeted him, looking approachable.
Shen San put on a pair of dishes and chopsticks and waited beside him.
After the two finished eating, they took down the dishes and served tea, and Cheng Mo said, "Lord Zhou came last night?" ”
Zhou Zheng had been observing him, and was a little relieved to see that he seemed to be completely unaware of what had happened in the state pastor's mansion last night. In his opinion, how old is Cheng Mocai, he has the ability to sharpen his spirit, this qi cultivation kung fu is definitely not enough, which hairy guy in his early twenties can hide things? He didn't have a different color, so he must have been unaware.
Zhou Zheng's tense shoulders relaxed, falling under Cheng Mo's eyes, and his smile was even bigger.
"The lower official heard that the prince's guards were sick, and Shen Sanmancheng invited a doctor, and the lower officials couldn't rest assured, so they came to take a look. Disturb the prince. ”
"Not really. This king slept deeply, and he just knew. Lord Zhou has a heart. "It's not about the condition of the sick guard.
The two talked nonsense without nutrition, and Zhou Zheng didn't leave until he really had nothing to say.
Cheng Mo looked at his departing back and smiled, and Heizi came up and said in a low voice, "It's done." ”
There are so many people guarding the gate of the Jade Residence, and there are errand servants, so it is naturally impossible to bring people in from the gate, but it is okay to go around the garden and jump over the wall. The king of Bei'an lives here, where can he allow idle people to wander in the garden? It's been cleaned up a long time ago.
Guo Bo was taken to Zhou Jin's room, and when the old man saw Zhou Jin's appearance, he was in tears.
Zhou Jin said: "There is the king of Bei'an, you don't have to hide it." ”
The old man said worriedly: "Zhou Zhoumu won't do a black hand to the king of Bei'an, right?" ”
Zhou Zheng covered the sky in Yangzhou with one hand, he was really worried that Cheng Mo would follow in Zhou Jin's footsteps and be poisoned by Zhou Zheng, who knows if he will not do it endlessly.
