Chapter 283: Planning to Escape
Dajing Temple is in Shunde House.
After the emperor moved the capital, the king of Qi ordered strict defense, and the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River wanted to go to the north to do business, so they could only smuggle out.
Gonggong Tang, that is, Zeng Fu's cousin, he was in charge of purchasing in the palace.
There are imperial merchants in the capital who specialize in the supply of the palace, and after arriving in Jinling, the imperial merchants are all looking for them again, and Tang Gonggong has also had contacts with several big businessmen.
Among them was a silk merchant who had been in the business of selling goods from the south to the north in his early years, and now he has ostensibly stopped half of his business, but in fact he has only moved from the light to the dark.
This businessman has been going back and forth between the north and the south, and he donated a large amount of silver to the Dajing Temple earlier, and he is a great pilgrim of the Dajing Temple.
Father-in-law Tang gave his nephew Zeng Fu a place to live in Dajing Temple.
He also prepared a sum of silver, so that after Zeng Fu arrived at the Dajing Temple, he donated the silver to the temple.
With this silver, Zeng Fu's life in Dajing Temple will be better.
Seeing the reluctance on Zeng Fu's face, Tang Gonggong said seriously: "Good boy, you live in Dajing Temple first, this kind of big temple will not give the disciple an admonition right away, you shave first, and after a year or two, if I am fine, I will pick you up, and you will grow your hair then."
If I am gone, you will stay at the temple and be formally admonished.
Dajing Temple is a famous temple, you are there, although the green lantern ancient Buddha, but can die peacefully. ”
Zeng Fu knew that his cousin was already determined to die, and his cousin said that King Qi had done a lot of unsightly things, and although his cousin had not handled it, he was an insider.
If King Qi is not the emperor, once he decides to ascend the throne, he will not leave himself in trouble.
King Qi will erase all the unbearable past before ascending the throne.
Zeng Fu was sad in his heart, hugged his cousin, and cried happily.
He doesn't have a mother, but he doesn't have a father, in his heart, he only has a cousin.
Zeng Fu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and now he has entered the palace again, he knows the importance of it, and he also knows that he can't change anything by himself.
That's fate.
Father-in-law Tang said to him: "Next, I will arrange more messengers for you, so that others can get used to you going out for a few days in a row, and it won't be long before those people get used to it."
Boss Hu said, there will be a boat crossing the river at the beginning of next month, you should prepare. ”
Zeng Fu also has nothing to prepare, his cousin has prepared everything for him, all he can do is to keep himself from getting sick, not afraid, and not showing his stuffing.
Zeng Fu thought of Yuan Xiaodong, his only friend.
"Cousin, can I bring a friend with me?"
Father-in-law Tang was stunned: "What friend?" ”
Zeng Fu: "Yuan Xiaodong, I told you that he is my best friend. ”
Gonggong Tang sighed, he knew that Yuan Xiaodong, the child's situation was not as good as theirs.
"How can he go? His life is linked to the emperor's life. ”
Gonggong Tang continued to sigh, if it was before, Yuan Xiaodong's identity would have been in a hurry, but now, who dares to approach him, that is, his stupid nephew will befriend him.
Although the nephew is clever, he is too stupid and simple, and he must be sent away and away from this place of right and wrong.
But Gonggong Tang also knew that Zeng Fu only had one friend, Yuan Xiaodong.
He shook his head: "No, it's too risky to take him with you." ”
Zeng Fu pulled his sleeve: "Xiaodong wants to go back to the capital, his godfather is still in the capital, and he wants to give his godfather a pension." ”
Speaking of this, Zeng Fu cried again.
He also wants to give his cousin a pension.
Before coming to Jinling, he thought it was all a natural thing.
His cousin was kind to him, and he wanted to honor his cousin well.
But now, obviously, no.
Seeing that he was crying again, Father-in-law Tang guessed what his nephew was thinking.
"You idiot, when you arrive at the Dajing Temple, you will worship the Bodhisattva for your cousin, maybe the Bodhisattva will bless your cousin to survive this catastrophe when he sees you so filial, and at that time, our grandfather can still reunite, and I am waiting for you to give me a pension."
Zeng Fu burst into tears and laughed, and remembered his good friend Yuan Xiaodong again: "What about Xiaodong?" ”
Father-in-law Tang thought of the child who was about the same age as his nephew, and he couldn't bear to say no more.
"Forget it, I'll ask Boss Hu tomorrow, if he says he can bring one more person, then bring it, if he says no, then there is really no way."
Zeng Fu chick nodded desperately like pecking rice, Bodhisattva bless, let Boss Hu agree.
The next day, Grandpa Tang went to see Boss Hu.
The place where he and Boss Hu met was in the largest teahouse in Jinling City.
Grandpa Tang is a frequent visitor here, of course, he doesn't have to spend money to come here, and the merchants rush to pay him.
Seeing that Father-in-law Tang was coming, the shopkeeper personally came out to receive him, with a smile on his face.
"Master Tang, you're here, please come inside."
Father-in-law Tang asked, "Is Boss Hu here?" ”
"Come on, come with me."
The shopkeeper personally led the way, obviously Boss Hu had explained it in advance.
Father-in-law Tang sighed silently, this Boss Hu is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, in order to let him take Zeng Fu away, Father-in-law Tang has given Boss Hu a lot of benefits, now he has to bring one more person, Boss Hu will definitely put forward new conditions, I hope that the conditions are not too harsh.
Sure enough, it was about the same as Grandpa Tang's guess, and Boss Hu really put forward the conditions again.
Moreover, he told Gonggong Tang that as long as it is a half-grown child or a small child, it doesn't hurt to have a few more, let them wear the clothes of a shipwright, even if they are investigated, they will not be regarded as a fine work or a prisoner, at most they will be taken to do coolies for a while, after all, they are young, who will let this kind of hairy child be a spy.
Boss Hu's words ignited new hope for Father-in-law Tang.
There are also fewer worries about the nephew.
If you are really caught, at most you will have to do coolies for a while, you will not be beheaded, you will not be beaten, and you will be able to regain your freedom after surviving these.
But this silver ticket must be hidden, and it must not be searched.
Boss Hu put forward new conditions, and Gonggong Tang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this condition is within his ability, with his current identity, he moved his mouth, and the matter was done.
Coming out of the teahouse, Grandpa Tang was relaxed.
Back in the temporary palace, Gonggong Tang told Zeng Fu the good news, and told him that he must let Yuan Xiaodong keep his mouth shut, that child is also a talker, if he talks about it, don't say that Yuan Xiaodong can't leave, and the two of them will be unlucky.
Taking advantage of the emperor's nap, the two little brothers met again in the old place.
Knowing that they could leave Jinling together, Yuan Xiaodong was very happy.
"Are you really going to be a monk?" Yuan Xiaodong asked.
Of course, Zeng Fu didn't want to be a monk, but he was a eunuch, and if he wasn't a eunuch, he could only be a monk.
"Xiaodong, I don't know that Shunde Mansion is not far from the capital, when you return to the capital, you have the opportunity to pass by Shunde Mansion, you must go to Dajing Temple to see me."
