On that day, Wu Dahua was imprisoned in the cell of the county jail, Jiang Shu ordered a jailer to go to Huzhou to ask the prefect of Huzhou Prefecture, and then stayed in Changxing County with Timid Yu and Qin Sangzhong for one night, and waited until the prefect arrived the next day and explained the matter to him clearly before leaving the road.

It's just that because of being kidnapped by Wu Dahua, she was depressed, and she didn't have the strength to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple to have a look, so she directly returned to Beijing with the two along the original route of Yingtianfu, Huai'an Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Shuntian Mansion.

Due to the need to take a detour on the dry road, the journey was slow, and when the three of them returned to the capital located in Shuntianfu, the scorching summer had passed, and there were many days in the beginning of autumn, which was the second half of the seventh month of Mengqiu.

At this time, Ping Qian, who followed Zhang Lanqiao to visit relatives in Xiangyang, had already returned, but it was Luo Xin, who she still couldn't forgive, according to Yun Lingling, he also left not long after he and Zhu Changxun left the capital, and there is no way to know where he went.

Jiang Shu knew that he had kung fu and was relatively cautious, so there should be nothing wrong, and he didn't need him, the so-called personal guard, who was too assertive, to stay by his side, so he didn't ask too much, he was a little tired along the way, and he concentrated on recuperating behind closed doors in the mansion.

After a few days, the tired body after many days of tossing and turning was almost recuperated.

This morning, she was lazily reclining on the couch in the outer room of the room, casually flipping through a book of poems, suddenly thought of something, put down the book of poems in her hand, stood up neatly, and said to the screen waiting on the side: "Come with me out of the house." ”

"Where is Miss going?" Ping asked in confusion.

"Nantang," Jiang Shu thought for a while, "when I left Beijing with the prince more than two months ago, I met Mr. Li on Huangqiang North Street, and promised to go to Nantang to see him after returning to Beijing. ”

"Miss ......" frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and looked at her with some hesitation, "Mr. Li, he ...... He ......"

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing her reaction, Jiang Shu asked busily.

He ...... He is dead. This kind of thing can't be hidden from her, Ping said in a low voice.

"What?" Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this, "How could it be...... When I walked with the prince, he was still fine......"

"I heard that he died of a sudden heart attack, but I didn't wait for the doctor to arrive." Ping Qian bit his lower lip lightly and said again.

"Heart disease?" Jiang Shu repeated these two words in a low voice, naturally understanding that this was not the so-called disease that still needed heart medicine, and guessed that it should be the extremely dangerous heart disease in modern medicine, and said with a sad face, "When did it happen?" ”

"At that time, the slaves and maids had not yet returned to Beijing, and I heard that it was May 11, more than two months ago." Ping Qian groaned slightly.

“…… It's been less than half a month since that farewell......" Jiang Shu lowered his head and muttered slowly, looking at her again, "Where are you buried?" ”

"Tenggong fence in Erligou outside Fucheng Gate," Ping Qian said softly, "Mr. Li is a Western missionary, and it is supposed to be moved to Haojiang, the gathering place of Westerners. ”

"Dad has some friendship with him, and it is reasonable to ask for him, you can ......go with me another day" Jiang Shu wanted to say that she would go out of the city with him to pay respects, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach, and he was retching while holding his chest.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? Ping Qian hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with a worried face.

"It's nothing, it's just that my chest is often stuffy lately, I have no appetite for eating, and I always feel nauseous when I see greasy, Xu is ......" Jiang Shu glanced up at her, and was trying to find out a reason, when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes moved, and he quickly raised his left hand and put it on the wrist of his right hand.
