In the small courtyard.

After Gu Wanning got up, Hongmei came to report that the people from the gambling house really came to take revenge last night, and they came with fire oil, and asked her what to do with these people.

Gu Wanning looked at Ye Hanyu, "Husband, what do you say?" ”

The people in Junzhou Zhizhou and the gambling house are angry with one nostril, and they are afraid that they will send people to the yamen with their front feet, and the people with their back feet will be released, after all, such a thing has not happened, but it is not a matter of always being locked up in their own yards, and they have to waste food to feed them.

"Let Jia Wu find a lion dance team, tie up those people, beat gongs and drums and send them to the yamen, and publicize what they were going to do last night on the way, no matter how bold Master Xing is, he won't dare to release people immediately."

Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this, as long as it dragged on for three or two days, and when Qin Cha came, not to mention the thugs of these gambling houses, even that Xing Zhizhou didn't want to have a good life.

"The slave will go to Jiawu."

Jiawu quickly hired a lion dance team, and the thugs of those gambling houses were also tied up into a string and walked in front of the lion dance team to beat gongs and drums and sent them to the yamen, and the people nearby came out to see the excitement, and Jiawu told them what they were going to do last night in front of the people, and carefully displayed their tools for committing crimes, and the people pointed at these beaters, and some old men also used their cigarette pouch poles to secretly knock on the heads of those thugs, there were too many people, and the people who were beaten could not see who beat them even if they wanted to take revenge.

Those thugs were surrounded by people in the streets and alleys and felt that they had no face, and they were attacked a few times from time to time, and a few children also threw stones at them, and after walking a few hundred meters, these people finally reacted, and the speed of their feet increased, and a group of people ran into the yamen as if they had escaped.

Well, the yamen's prison is much safer than the outside.

It wasn't until the thugs were imprisoned that the people dispersed.

……

At the gate of Junzhou City, Li Changhai wiped the sweat beads on his head with a handkerchief, and after Qingzhu paid the entrance fee, several people got on their horses and entered the city again, "Miss Qingzhu, are you sure that our master is in this Junzhou City." ”

Qingzhu said helplessly: "The slave is sure, Mr. Li is not in a hurry, we will not find the wrong one, unless the master has left Junzhou City at this time, otherwise we will be able to find the master soon." ”

Since the sunset of the emperor, Li Changhai has not slept well, and after the assassin was repulsed that night, the three Qingzhu followed the large army to find a few people who fell into the water, but unfortunately they didn't find even the slightest clue after looking for a few days.

The three of Qingzhu have to find someone by themselves, Li Changhai's perception of these three girls is different from others, just like the Seventh Prince Concubine is also missing, he has never cared about how the Seven Princes' people want to find the Seven Princes.

He was afraid that the three girls would not be able to find it, and finally took Xiao Chunzi to break away from the big army together, and looked all the way along the riverbank, but he didn't expect her to find the clue, the donkey cart that was sold in the middle of the night was too big, and Qingzhu also found the mark left by Hongmei in the inn, and these people followed the mark all the way until they arrived in Junzhou City.

Li Changhai knew that the destination of the emperor's trip south was Junzhou, no, to be precise, it was in Pingling County, Junzhou City, so when they arrived in Junzhou, Li Changhai knew that Qingzhu was taking the right route, but before he saw the emperor, his heart still couldn't be realized.

After the five people entered the city, they looked all the way along the main road, and then heard on the side of the road that a little woman gambled in the casino yesterday and killed the "heroic" deeds, Qingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the little woman in these mouths was their master who did not run away.

When the master fell into the water, he didn't have a penny on his body, and he had earned four hundred taels of silver in Runzhou City before he had spent almost the same amount in Junzhou City, if there were only the prince and the master, it would be nothing to spend a little less, but the emperor was still following, and the master must have wished the emperor to be wronged.

"Uncle, do you know where the lady you said who won a lot of money lives in the gambling house?"

The uncle was quite upright, and when he was asked, he first looked the green bamboo up and down, and saw that the other party was a young girl, so his vigilance was slightly lowered, "Girl, why are you asking this?" ”

"Uncle, don't hide it, the one you said may be our master, we came to Junzhou with our master to play, but something happened halfway and we got separated, if the uncle knows, can you tell us."

The uncle said: "I'm really looking for your master, what's your master's surname?" ”

Qingzhu replied: "The master's surname is Ye." ”

The uncle patted his thigh: "That's fine, it's surnamed Ye, I heard what the second nephew of my third brother's family said, he bet with Mrs. Ye in the gambling house yesterday and won more than fifty taels of silver, let me tell you, his house is on Chunfu Street......"

The uncle pointed out, and it was rare to talk about the ground in detail, and after Qingzhu thanked him a few times, he immediately turned over and walked towards Chunfu Street.

The thugs of the gambling house had been sent away, and there were still some nearby residents chatting outside the courtyard at this time, when several men and women on horseback suddenly appeared outside the door of the Ye family, and they all stopped talking and paid attention to the movement of the small courtyard.

At the gatehouse, Jia Siyi looked outside as soon as he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw Li Changhai at a glance.

"Mr. Li? How did you find here? Hurry up, my lord was still talking about you yesterday, I'll show you the way. ”

The five of them followed Jia Si into the inner courtyard, first to meet the emperor, and then the four of Qingzhu went to see Gu Wanning and Ye Hanyu.

After the four of them left, Li Changhai quietly wiped his tears, and the emperor asked with a smile: "I am not dead, look at you like that, the older you are, the more useless you are." ”

Li Changhai twisted his head, not letting the emperor see his embarrassment, "Old slave, old slave has been by your side for more than 30 years, the first time I have been separated from you for so long, old slave, old slave saw you fall into the water, my soul was scared, fortunately, God has eyes, the emperor is good, old slave, old slave is happy!" ”

"Okay, okay, you're happy, you're tired of riding a horse, you hurry up and pack up, have a good rest after eating, and come back tomorrow to serve me."

Li Changhai finally wiped his face, "The old slave still has something to tell you, so I can't leave." ”

The Emperor: "Then hurry up." ”

Li Changhai said: "On the day of your accident, Commander Xi caught a live mouth.

He felt that the assassination of the emperor that day was not simple, and suspected that someone on the ship was colluding with outsiders, so he did not publicize the matter of the living mouth, and only three days later, when no one paid attention to him, did he try the living mouth.

The old slave also listened, that person was arranged in advance by Marquis Wu Cheng, so your assassination is likely to be related to Marquis Wu Cheng and Beiliang.

Among them, it is not excluded that there are other people's handwritings. ”

The emperor's face flickered, yes, if there was no one to cooperate with the outside, those assassins would not have gone up to the imperial ship so easily.

After Li Changhai left, the emperor immediately wrote a secret letter and asked Jia San to pass it back to Beijing.
