"The slave will go and get it to you, and it is still in the slave's clothes." Zhao Xiaoju turned around and walked to the inner room, very firm and confident.

It's just that when she came out again, her face was full of disappointment.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Guangzong was a little surprised.

"It's gone." Tears rolled in Zhao Xiaoju's eyes, that message was exchanged for a brother's life.

"What's missing?" Zheng Guangzong felt his scalp tingle.

"Clothes, clothes are gone." Zhao Xiaoju stammered a little, after all, she was a woman, and she didn't have the ability to deal with things without being surprised.

"You said clothes, just ask your neighbors." Zheng Guangzong breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this matter, and he believed that the neighbors would handle it well.

At this moment, Xiangling is directing a few small servants to deliver wine and food here.

After the wine and food were arranged, the little servants came out of Zheng Guangzong's bedroom with great interest.

Xiangling was just about to open her mouth and invite Zhao Xiaoju to take a seat, but Zheng Guangzong stopped her: "Xiangling, don't be busy yet, I'll ask you something, and you just answer truthfully." ”

Xiangling was stunned for a moment, what was wrong with the young master, and suddenly became so serious: "Young master, if you have something, just ask!" ”

"Where are the clothes that Zhao Gongzi changed out of now?" Zheng Guangzong's expression was flat, and he felt that it was no big deal.

"The slave maid saw that Zhao Gongzi's clothes were too dirty, so she soaked them in soapy water, and then washed them and dried them later." Xiangling also sighed, it turned out that there was nothing big about it!

"It's over......"

"It's over!"

Zheng Guangzong and Zhao Xiaoju frowned at the same time.

Xiangling's face turned pale with fright: "Young master, did the slave do something wrong again?" ”

"Sister Xiangling, you didn't do anything wrong, yes, you were negligent before you went down." Zhao Xiaoju wanted to cry, but she could only hold back her tears.

"Where's the clothes?" Zheng Guangzong did not give up.

"Young master, you, what are you looking for clothes for?" Xiangling asked cautiously.

"yes, a confidential letter." The matter has come to this, and Zheng Guangzong has nothing to hide.

"Young master, the slave maid has carefully checked it when she soaked her clothes, and there are no letters or anything, and the slave and maid will never dare to make a mistake."

Xiangling expected that she had caused a big disaster, and she was so frightened that she knelt in front of Zheng Guangzong.

"You're not wrong, it's wrong that Young Master Ben didn't think about it properly, you get up, if it's a letter written on paper, I'm afraid that when I was in the river a long time ago, it was washed away by the river.

Even if it hadn't been washed away, it was estimated that there would be no handwriting in the flow until now. Zheng Guangzong sighed, regretting it afterwards, it was tantamount to complaining.

"It's going to be fine, the letter is packed in a bamboo tube, with wax seals at both ends, and you shouldn't be afraid of soaking in water." Zhao Xiaoju seemed to remember something again.

"Go see ......"

Zheng Guangzong can't be calm, maybe the content of this letter can play a vital role, and finding it means that there is a breakthrough.

Xiangling took the young master to the place where the clothes were soaked in a panic, she just hurriedly rummaged through the clothes, but Zheng Guangzong was looking around for those small details.

In a very inconspicuous corner, Zheng Guangzong found a bamboo tube as thick as a small finger, about two or three inches long.

If Zheng Guangzong hadn't been particularly careful, it would have been difficult to find.

Zheng Guangzong walked over, squatted down and picked up the bamboo tube.

Zhao Xiaoju couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "It's this thing, and the secret letter is inside." ”

Zheng Guangzong looked at it seriously, and sure enough, as Zhao Xiaoju said, both sides were sealed with wax oil, which can be said to be a drop of water.

Zheng Guangzong cautiously melted the wax oil at one end with fire and pulled out the paper inside.

On the paper, it is written with a thin brush, and it looks very clear.

Zheng Guangzong looked at it, looked at it, and sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiangling was also shocked when she saw it, the young master had never been so nervous.

"It's okay, the above are just a few suggestions left by Brother Zhu, just follow his suggestions and take action." Zheng Guangzong forced his composure.

"Zheng Gongzi, can you let me take a look?" Even so, Zhao Xiaoju still considers herself a man.

"It's not a big deal, let's drink first, let's talk while drinking." Zheng Guangzong's heart is very strong, even if something big happens, he can be pampered and not shocked.

Xiangling beckoned Zhao Xiaoju to come out and walked to the wine table: "Zhao Gongzi, my young master said that it was okay, then it must be nothing." ”

What else can Zhao Xiaoju say.

I had to smile self-deprecatingly: "Brother Zhu's safety depends entirely on Zheng Gongzi's thoughtfulness." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's better to drink first, and have your own clever plan to rescue Brother Zhu, although Zhao Gongzi can put his mind at ease." Zheng Gongzi looked proud.

I don't know if it's because the wine is too strong, or Zhao Xiaoju is too sad.

It's just three or five cups of belly, Zhao Xiaoju was so drunk, and in the end, Xiangling helped Zhao Xiaoju to lie down in her room, and then walked out with a sense of relief.

"Young Master, is the matter very serious?" Xiangling didn't dare to guess the young master's mind casually, but asked cautiously and tentatively.

"Xiangling, you just have to take care of Sister Zhao, don't worry about the rest, if someone in the Zheng family asks her origin,

You said that it was a good friend of the young master, and he would stay here for a few days. Zheng Guangzong shook the folding fan, as if considering a more far-reaching issue.

"What if the master asks?" Xiangling asked timidly.

"Young Master Ben will explain to the master, remember not to let her go out, wait a few days to settle down, and someone will pick her up." Zheng Guangzong sighed softly.

"Got it." Xiangling replied softly, the young master can do this, and it is also the greatest trust in her.

Outside the city, a brick factory.

After a hundred miles of wind patrolling around as usual, he returned to the hut to rest.

It was almost dusk, and the remnant sun was like blood.

Outside the factory, the sound of horses' hooves made Baili Changfeng can't help but be interested, it's all at this point, how can there be the sound of horses' hooves?

Baili Changfeng walked out and saw Zheng Guangzong riding a horse and coming in a hurry.

After a few steps, Baili Changfeng asked with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi, why did you come here at this time?" ”

"Lord Baili, I still want to have a drink with you, and when I go back to the Zheng family, I drink without one to accompany you, it's really boring." Zheng Guangzong smiled.

"Hehehe, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, Zheng Gongzi is really refreshing, and the lower official is going to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." The hundred miles of wind also laughed.

Since the beginning of autumn, the nights have begun to grow, and the long nights are indeed very boring when no one drinks and chats.

The two entered the hut hand in hand, and Zheng Guangzong instructed Zheng Er to prepare wine and food.

After the family members retreated, they sat down and drank with the hundred miles of long wind.
