Zhu Qianju took the tea poured by bamboo incense, took a sip, and said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Miao just said, what is this tea called?" ”

Zhu Xiangyu said: "Back to Your Highness, this is called Lanxue tea, which is collected from Shaoxing Mansion." ”

"Oh," Zhu Qianjue bowed his head, "When the widow was a child, I heard the master say that Uncle Ouyang Yong said that the two Zhejiang fragrant teas were of the highest quality in the place where the sword was cast by King Goujian of Yue. ”

In the courtyard outside the house, Miao Ruiyun and Liu Shimin were interrogating Tong Xiyu's men.

The miserable screams made by these uninvited guests when they were tortured tonight did not affect Zhu Qianju in the slightest.

The royal family, who was in the prime of his life, continued to sip tea soup leisurely, and occasionally sighed: "Liangzhejiang is also my backyard, but it is a pity that the ancestors of the widow have never drunk such good tea in their lives." ”

Miao Zhuxiang dared to answer, only lowered her eyes and stood still.

Zhuxiang has served Miao Ruiyun for many years, and has always dealt with big people openly and secretly, even when facing Liu Shimin and Ningde Zheng Gong, there is no sense of panic at this moment.

The descendants of Emperor Jianwen in front of him, the nephew of Miao Atai, the leader who still claims to be a "widow", the real master of these warriors who have returned to their homeland, Zhuxiang is the first time to see it today.

Zhu Xiang felt that Zhu Qianxuan, who was clearly easy to speak to the guards and servants on the left and right, always had a faint gloomy aura like a cold light of snake scales.

The torture in the hospital was suspended.

After a while, Miao Ruiyun and the guards sent by Zhu Qianju to supervise the trial walked into the house.

The moment Miao Ruiyun recognized Han Xiying, he was actually a little relieved.

Obviously, the gang of villains who fell from the sky tonight were not assassins from Jingshi.

Fortunately, it wasn't some whistleblower under his command.

"Your Highness," Miao Ruiyun said with a look of guilt, "It's a little girl who has offended the old man in the past, who has come to seek revenge and disturb His Highness." ”

Zhu Qianju hurriedly stood up and helped Miao Ruiyun: "Auntie, don't worry, sit down and drink tea first, and then take a breath." ”

Bamboo incense hurriedly served Lanxue tea.

Miao Ruiyun moistened her lips, and said again: "That girl from the Han family, a local rich gentry, was used as a gunman by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family a few years ago, and wanted to kill her sister. I never thought of joining Jiannu, and went back to the south to steal the French style of firearms. I came here and wanted to take my wife's life by the way. ”

"Oh......" Zhu Qianju leaned back on the chair, his robe dangling, like a jade mountain leaning slightly.

The handsome prince looked at Liu Shimin, who was standing at the threshold: "I don't think it's going to be an assassin in Beijing, if the one on the dragon chair is really as General Liu said, the big line is imminent, and it should be the time for chaos inside and outside the imperial city." Even if my aunt, or Zheng Shoufu and General Liu's subordinates, really betrayed the lord to seek glory, they should report the pony general first. ”

Liu Shimin took a few steps forward and said calmly: "What His Highness said is extremely true. ”

Zhu Qianju pondered: "Bring in the bucktooth woman in the lead." ”

Tong Xiyu was pushed into the house.

Han Xiying and the family members recruited the cause and effect, and Tong Xiyu did not have to be punished.

After everything went smoothly after coming to the south, she was shocked and stunned for a moment when she encountered a bizarre change, and gradually guessed from the situation of the secret expert guards in this courtyard, she guessed that the identity of the old woman Miao in Han Xiying's mouth was definitely not as simple as a palace person who returned to seclusion.

With unkempt hair, she was like a she-wolf who had fallen into a trap and was still not powerful, staring at Zhu Qianju and the others arrogantly.

Zhu Qianju's eyes looked at her, but there was no meaning in them.

"Your surname is Tong? Is the family also a Ming person? ”

Tong Xiyu said coldly: "Our Tong Jia clan, our ancestors are Jurchens. ”

"Oh," Zhu Qianju smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter where the ancestor is from." The generation that came out to break through is a capable person, even if it is worthy of the ancestors. I guess, you are a woman, you can take on such a heavy responsibility, and your strategy is extraordinary, and there should be strong reinforcements under the mountain, and even outside Songjiang Mansion. ”

Tong Xiyu didn't say anything.

Zhu Qianju stood up, took two steps forward, and continued: "You are not bad to your subordinates, and you are willing to go out in person for her personal grudges. Well, actually, I have the same mind. ”

As soon as he finished saying the word "heart" at the end, he suddenly raised his sleeves, only to see a white shadow flashing, accompanied by the sound of arrows flying out of the wind, and a woman's scream was immediately heard in the courtyard.

It was Han Xiying's voice.

"Where's the hit?" Zhu Qianju asked.

One of the guards came to report: "Your Highness, the woman has been hit by an arrow in the eye socket." ”

"Left eye or right eye?"

"Right eye."

"Oh, the eye that was originally good. I can't see anyone this time, go and give her a good time, the widow can't hear the woman's cry so miserable. ”

The guard took the order and stabbed his sword into the chest of Han Xiying, who was rolling on the ground.

The last beastly wails rang out in the night, and the courtyard fell silent.

Zhu Qianju turned back to Tong Xiyu and said, "This girl has offended my person, I can't spare her." The rest of your retinue, who lost their lives because of their lack of skill in hand-to-hand combat, cannot rely on me. The two who are still alive, you don't hold a grudge because of their confessions, come out to walk, and save a few good subordinates, it's not easy, you will always need it in the future. ”

Tong Xiyu's expression changed this time, and said tentatively: "This son, do you want to let me go?" ”

Zhu Qianju nodded: "You didn't come at me in the first place, what did I do to kill you?" ”

As soon as he said this, Miao Ruiyun and Liu Shimin were also quite shocked.

This mother-in-law is a spy of the Jurchens, and the girl surnamed Han also said that they got the French diagram of the firearms factory, why did His Highness let them go like this?

Tong Xiyu frowned, and asked Zhu Qianju in confusion: "You are not from the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Zhu Qianju said: "What a Ming Jurchen, fluttering and fluttering, heaven and earth are a sand gull." ”

Tong Xiyu has been rich since she was a child, but she also has a husband to teach, she knows this poem, and she tastes a bizarre surprise.

The two members of the Tong family in the courtyard staggered up and walked over: "Master, let's go?" ”

Tong Xiyu no longer hesitated, and said to Zhu Qianju: "Gongzi is a bright person, and we will have a period later." ”

……

The blacksmith made a scoop with his hands and washed his face with water from the river to relieve his anxiety.

Looking at the position of the moon, it is almost time, and the eastern sky has faintly revealed the white of the fish's belly, why haven't they come down yet.

He turned his head and looked at Zheng Haizhu, who was tied up by the strings of the boat.

The trapped beast kept its eyes open and looked around.

Another member of the Tong family muttered to Blacksmith Du: "This woman has never given birth, and the rules are very smooth, if it weren't for the master's permission, Lao Tzu really wanted to open the meat with her." ”

He wanted to continue to complain, but Blacksmith Du suddenly "shhh

Listening attentively, Blacksmith Du lowered his voice and said, "There is a ship coming." ”

The two passed by Zheng Haizhu quickly, walked to the stern of the boat, picked up the dense aquatic weeds, and looked out.

On the moonlit river, the silence of the night was broken, and a canoe cruised slowly.

"Night sailing, huh?" The guy who was talking nonsense just now asked in a suppressed voice.

"Something is wrong, how can there be a night sailing ship that doesn't light a lantern?" Blacksmith Du denied the judgment of his companions.

Almost at the same time, they looked back at Zheng Haizhu to confirm that the woman's mouth was tightly gagged, and she could only make a faint "whine" sound helplessly.

Blacksmith Du was glad that his ship was parked in a good place, covered by reeds, and it was daytime, but it was inconspicuous, let alone at night.

But he soon found out that he was wrong.

The Sou solo boat is getting closer and closer, like an oncoming ghost.

The moment the bow parted the reeds, several torches suddenly lit up on the deck, illuminating the surroundings.

At the same time, just listening to the sound of "poof", Zheng Haizhu jumped into the river without hesitation.

"Go down and get Miss Zheng up!"

Huang Zunsu commanded loudly.
