Chapter 88: Downtown Surprise 1
The three of them gathered at the window and watched the street scene for less than a quarter of an hour, seeing that the carriage was about to drive into the downtown area, Yu Zizhen suddenly poked his head out and told the coachman and the accompanying guards, "There are many people today, and it is not easy for carriages and horses to pass. β
The coachman and the accompanying guards were already very careful, and when they heard the words, they were even more energetic.
Seeing this, Yu Zizhen sat up straight on the chair and told Yuheng and Yaoguang, "Hold on tight." β
The two were puzzled, but they subconsciously learned from Yu Zizhen, and their little hands firmly buckled the edge of the seat.
Before they could ask Yu Zizhen if something had happened, there was a sudden whooshing sound outside the carriage.
Then one of the horses pulling the cart neighed, raised its front hooves, and galloped forward like mad.
The coachman was caught off guard and was thrown off the carriage directly, and before the guards and servants who followed the carriage could react, the carriage had already rushed towards the people walking in front of him.
Yu Zizhen had already been prepared, and she held the edge of the seat hard to prevent herself from being thrown out, while she waited for the guards who had quickly caught up to subdue the frightened horses.
The idea of beating her horse with a secret weapon in the downtown area is a hundred times more vicious than giving her a poisonous sachet.
The mastermind behind the scenes does not talk about martial arts, and in order to deal with her, he actually implicated innocent people, which made Yu Zizhen extremely disdainful.
She had even figured out how she would be impeached tomorrow morningβthe royal carriage was running wildly in the city, crushing innocent people in the streets.
A cold color flashed in his eyes, and Yu Zizhen was uncontrollably pressed against the back of the seat because the carriage stopped suddenly.
Knowing that the danger had been lifted, Yu Zizhen didn't wait for the guards to speak, and directly opened the car door and walked out on his own.
"Shizi." The guards who restrained the frightened horses on the left and right saw her, and saluted with their chins.
Not far in front of them, a young woman with a child in her arms was glaring at her with an angry face.
The guard on the left saw that she noticed the woman, and immediately explained to Yu Zizhen, "Shizi, just now our horse almost stepped on the child in the girl's arms. β
Yu Zizhen chuckled in his heart. Although she knew that the Wan clan wanted to deal with her before she left the palace, she couldn't clearly remind these guards in the Zhenbei Palace, telling them where the people arranged by the Wan clan were hiding and what they were going to do, she could only remind them vaguely as she did just now.
Fortunately, the child was saved by the young woman in front of him, otherwise even if Yu Zizhen knew intellectually that he should keep her biggest secret, he would still feel guilty emotionally because he had affected this innocent child.
She is not the kind of local nobleman who feels superior to others, in her eyes, the lives of ordinary people are also fate, and they are also worthy of being cherished and respected.
Jumping out of the carriage, Yu Zizhen simply and neatly squeezed deeply towards the girl, "Thank you for the heroine's righteous action, so that you will not have to carry a life or even more on your back." β
Seeing this, the onlookers were surprised and secretly relieved.
The girl had saved the child who had almost been trampled on by the horse's hooves, and while they were happy and glad, they could not help but worry about the girl's situation.
Yu Zizhen's carriage belonged to the elite class at first glance, and in their minds, no matter how high the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes were, they were doomed to suffer losses for the magnates who came forward and hugged them and had a large number of guards, especially in a place like the capital.
What they didn't expect was that Yu Zizhen, who climbed out of the carriage and described herself as embarrassed, not only did not ask the girl for sinking, but also thanked her sincerely and thanked her for her righteous action at a critical moment.
The girl obviously didn't expect Yu Zizhen to say this, she looked at Yu Zizhen in surprise, said "It's just a gesture", and then returned the child to the child's father who came in a hurry.
When the child saw his father, the fear that had accumulated in his heart suddenly found an outlet, and he cried loudly, and kept shouting "Dad" in his mouth.
Hearing the child crying, Yu Zizhen hurriedly asked, "Is this child injured?" β
The girl who rescued people had just been checked for the first time, and when she heard Yu Zizhen ask, she shook her head slightly, "No, I should just be scared." β
Yu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "Feng Yuan, go and ask the best doctor in this area." β
The guard Feng Yuan took the order and left, and the child's father patted his son's back first, shouting his son's nickname to appease, and when the child stopped crying, he immediately ran to the front, fell to the ground with a poof, and kowtowed three times to the girl who had just rescued people.
The girl's name is Zheng Yuzhi, she was born in Cangzhou Liuhe Martial Arts Hall, and she is a dart master.
With her was her husband and second brother Chen Qing, Chen Qing helped up the child's father for his wife and sister, and then apologized to Yu Zizhen for Zheng Yuzhi just glaring at Yu Zizhen, "Neizi has an impulsive personality, if there is any offense in a hurry, please forgive me." β
Yu Zizhen waved his hand at him, "You are serious, I should thank this woman for her righteous action." β
After speaking, Yu Zizhen shook his head towards the child's father again, "I'm sorry, the horses pulling the cart in our house were plotted by thieves, and the guards didn't react quickly enough, almost making you suffer the pain of losing your son, eldest brother." β
That person was just an ordinary person, and when he heard this, he was so panicked that he subconsciously waved his hand and shook his head.
Yu Zizhen said again: "I have already asked people to ask for a doctor, and I ask the two of you to wait here for a while." β
The man hurriedly said, "No."
Yu Zizhen insisted very much, "Being frightened is not a trivial matter, it is more appropriate to let the doctor take a look." β
She invited the father and son to go to the teahouse on the street with Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi, "There are too many people here, it's not good for the children, why don't we go to the teahouse and wait for the doctor." β
When Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi saw her talking so well, they all felt that she was different from ordinary officials and magnates, and the expressions on their faces couldn't help but bring a little surprise and curiosity.
The man shook his head desperately. The kind of place that is very expensive at first glance, their little people feel ashamed of themselves at a glance, how dare they raise their feet and go inside?
Yu Zizhen saw that he was nervous and resisted like that, so naturally she was not reluctant, she looked around, and finally chose a noodle shop at the mouth of the alley as their temporary foothold.
Compared to the shops on Main Street, the noodle shop is small and shabby, because it is not a meal, and there are only three customers in it.
Yu Zizhen led people to hula la into the noodle shop, she looked around, and then took the father and son, Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi straight to the far corner of the shop, and her little maid, the coachman and her guards who had already found her occupied the other two tables next to them.
