After a long silence, Wen Qingzhu asked again: "What's the situation here at Qingjing Temple? It seems like everything is under your control?"
"This, of course it's not!" Jiu Zhu still denied, but this time his eyes were a little evasive.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything more and directly gave Beidou a look.
He walked up and knocked Jiu Zhu unconscious.
Wen personally went over and opened the door. The welcoming monk who was guarding outside the courtyard hurried in and said with a charming smile on his face: "Does the donor have any other instructions?"
He didn't care at all about Jiu Zhu.
So he didn't notice that Jiu Zhu didn't appear at all, and there was no movement in the room.
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "You, Master Jiuzhu, are not in good health. You need some time to rest. I need to leave here for a while. Can you arrange a sedan to come up?"
"Of course!" The welcoming monk didn't ask anything and left directly.
Looking at the back of the welcoming monk, Wen Qingzhu turned back to the room, found a bed sheet in the cabinet, and threw it directly on Jiu Zhu's face.
…
The bearers who carried the sedan felt that the sedan was very heavy, but they did not dare to say anything.
After all, the money given by this guest was too much, so they couldn't say much.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the sedan stopped at the place where the carriage was stored.
Beidou walked over, took out a piece of gold, handed it to the bearers, and then pointed at the sedan.
The young bearers were stunned when they saw the gold, but some of the older bearers quickly reacted.
After saying a few words of thanks, he took the other three people and left.
Beidou went inside, pulled out the carriage, and stopped at the door of the sedan.
Wen Qingzhu then walked out, got into the car first, opened the curtain, and waited for Beidou to pull out a ball wrapped in a sheet from the sedan.
Someone happened to be passing by and looked towards them strangely.
The man who stored the carriage happened to come out and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm here to help you."
Beidou blocked his hand and refused his help.
After Wen Qingzhu waited for Beidou to let the people in, he smiled at the waiter and explained: "I'm really sorry, the things are a bit expensive, and it's not convenient to help people outside, so I will give you this sedan."
"Okay, okay!" The waiter was used to seeing distinguished guests, but he was still curious.
After all, no one ever wants a sedan chair.
Although there is one now, he still accepts it, after all, he doesn't want it for free.
When entering the city, the government officer at the city gate suddenly wanted to check the carriage.
Wen Qingzhu didn't want Jiu Zhu to be exposed, so he decided to send news to Lu Tao and the others first.
About a quarter of an hour later, a carriage appeared at the city gate.
The carriage looked ordinary, but the yamen guarding the city gate seemed to know them, and even after taking the money, they still wouldn't let them in.
The driver who was driving the carriage said patiently: "Master, we are in a hurry now, so why bother to make it easier for us? You see, we have given you money, so you have to let people in, right?"
The officer with the knife took the silver, weighed it in his hand, looked at them sideways and said, "You are also from the Tang family in Yunzhou after all. How can such a wealthy family only pay you such a small fee for entering the city?"
"Isn't this one tael of silver per person? There are only three of us in total, so we gave five taels of silver, which should be enough."
The coachman's face was full of smiles, but the government servant not only refused to give him any face, but walked directly to the middle and said: "Sorry! Your Majesty ordered today that no one from the Tang family is allowed in! Come back at this time tomorrow!"
"How can this be done! The Tang family is in an emergency and if the money is not enough, we will give it to you! Make a price!" The coachman suddenly became anxious and quickly took out the money.
The yamen servant who had already taken the money didn't want to mess up the matter, so he pointed the knife at them and said, "It's really not about the money! Anyone can go there today! Only people from the Tang family can't!"
There was a tense situation at the door, and the people who were waiting to enter the city suddenly dispersed.
Although there are not many people who want to enter the city, the Tang family is obviously isolated and helpless.
Wen Qingzhu felt strange. Was this the master's order
Isn't that what Yan Yongzhang ordered
Why did he target the Tang family
While he was thinking about it, a coughing voice appeared in the Tang family's carriage: "What does the official want? Even though my father is seriously ill, this may be the only one. I hope the official will be open to you. Our Tang family I have always been respectful to everyone in Yunzhou, but seeing heaven and man separated now, the official... "
Before he finished speaking, the people from the Green Pottery Belt had already arrived.
She appeared directly at the door and forced back the government servants who were blocking the way.
Lu Tao looked at the people in the carriage and pointed, "Master Tang, just go in."
The people in the carriage stared at Lu Tao for a long time before they recognized her and quickly thanked her: "Thank you sir for your helping hand. Tang is grateful."
The curtains were lowered and the carriage quickly drove in.
When the yamen officer saw that something was wrong, he immediately became angry: "Who are you! You actually—"
"Fu Jiajun!" Lu Tao took out Fu Jiajun's waistband without any hesitation.
The officer guarding the city gate immediately knelt down and did not dare to raise his head.
Without any hindrance, Lu Tao led people directly to Wen Qingzhu's side.
She turned over and dismounted, walked up to Wen Qingzhu, looked inside the carriage and asked, "Sir, will you go in now?"
"Yeah." Wen Qingzhu turned around and got into the car.
After entering the city, they returned directly to Yunzhou Inn.
What was different from when Wen Qingzhu left was that there were people from the Fu Jiajun stationed here.
The inn that originally had few guests suddenly became crowded.
The waiter who was maintaining the scene was still shouting: "The guest room is full! It's full! There is no room left! There is no room left in the stable!"
After entering, Wen Qingzhu found that the hall was full of people.
Back in his room, Beidou threw Jiu Zhu on the ground.
Lu Tao closed the door and came back. When he saw Jiu Zhu's hand, he asked strangely: "Who did you bring back?"
"An old friend, you know him too." Wen Qingzhu was still thinking about the Tang family.
Just now she seemed to have heard that Mr. Tang was dying.
Lu Tao walked over and took a look at the sheets, and was shocked: "He is here! How did you find him?"
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, looked at the unconscious Jiu Zhu on the ground and said, "It was purely an accident. You bandaged his arm, but Beidou interrupted him."
Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.
The voice belonged to Boss Yi: "Sir, Master Yan is waiting for you downstairs. Do you want to meet him?"
Wen Qingzhu thought of what happened at the city gate just now, and said with a smile: "Let him wait, I'm still a little busy here."
Boss Yi watched Wen Qingzhu come in with his own eyes, and she was not busy at all.
So are you planning to show Mr. Yan off
Boss Yi replied yes, quickly turned around and went down, and reported the truth to Yan Yongzhang.
After listening to what he said, Yan Yongzhang not only did not have any temper, but said very kindly: "Since you are busy, I will wait."
He looked like something Boss Yi had never seen before.
Boss Yi has met Fu Lie, so he knows that the person inside is not Fu Lie, so who is he
Why is Yan Yongzhang so afraid of him
inside the house.
Lu Tao simply bandaged Jiu Zhu and fixed it, then turned around and sat down next to Wen Qingzhu.
"Sir, over in Dingyuan, General Zhao and General Lu both encountered assassins, and they are masters. According to the direction of their escape, they are most likely in Yunzhou City.
Although Beidou is around us, the prince is still worried about you, so he sent someone to protect you! Yang Liu was rushing back quickly. "
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "It seems that the assassin this time is really powerful. A normal assassin, Fu Lie wouldn't be so worried at all."
But are these directed at Zhao Qing and Lu Chengen at this moment, or at Lei Shuo
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Tao added: "Mrs. Lei San is already making secret arrangements to leave Dingyuan."
"Going to the capital?" Wen Qingzhu was actually a little worried, judging from the news he got from Jiu Zhu.
As for Ta and Bo Dong's informants, there may not be much left in Yunzhou, but there may still be big problems on the Dezhou and Linzhou sides.
"If you want to leave Dingyuan, you can't go around Dezhou at all, unless you take the border road and go around Ganzhou." Wen Qingzhu's fingertips tapped lightly on the table.
This is something that needs to be carefully considered.
Sister Shuo has already suffered once. If it happens again, it will be Da Qi's incompetence.
"So Miss Lei Shuo actually stays in Dingyuan and is currently with General Lu." Lu Tao told the real situation.
Wen Qingzhu touched his chin: "Is this a feint? It's just that I don't think I can fool Guita, at least not for long."
"This is just a temporary measure." Lu Tao actually had something he didn't tell her.
Looking at Wen Qingzhu's expression, she really didn't know what to say.
From Fu Lie's side, she could keep it secret for as long as she wanted, but she was the master's person...
Wen Qingzhu seemed to notice something unusual about her and raised his eyes: "Lv Tao? Are you still uncomfortable? Why do you feel a little strange today?"
Lu Tao hurriedly avoided her sight and said uneasily: "It's okay, I'm just resting."
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Sir! It's news from the capital, and it's related to the emperor. The prince doesn't want you to know!"
Wen Qingzhu didn't know what he thought of, and gave a bitter smile: "He has already let you know, and he sent so many people outside the door, maybe they are staring at me, right? It seems that she thinks you will tell me."
"What I do plan to tell you is this matter. We only got the news here. I'm afraid we won't know the truth until we go back."
Lu Tao was filled with guilt, and just when he was about to raise his head to confess, Wen Qingzhu suddenly said: "If you don't want to tell me, don't tell me. I also hide many things from him."
In the evening, while Wen Qingzhu was eating, he suddenly remembered something.
"Lu Tao, how did you look at me at the city gate just now? It seems that the second young master of the Tang family knows you?"
"I know him. He has been in poor health. He is recuperating in a Taoist temple in Texas. He came back this time because the Tang family master is seriously ill and may not survive! The eldest son of the Tang family has relapsed into smoking addiction and is now being locked up. Tang Qin I came back as a last resort.”
Listening to her tone, Wen Qingzhu asked: "The second young master of the Tang family is called Tang Qin? Are you familiar with him?"
Lu Tao nodded: "When I was investigating the matter at Baiyun Temple, I was discovered and Yang Liu was not around. I fled all the way and met Tang Qin, who helped me. He also helped with some of the things that happened later. , so we are relatively familiar.”
"Wait a minute, I was also at the gate of the city at that time. I heard him coughing and wheezing. He looked like he had been ill for a long time. It didn't feel like he was brought out of his mother's womb."
Lu Tao was silent for a moment and said doubtfully: "This is what I feel is strange. When I knew that he was seriously ill, I thought about asking an adult to take a look at him, but he refused, saying that he was already very sick. Over the years, I have met many Xinglin masters, but he doesn’t care now and doesn’t want to cause me any trouble.”
"Maybe we need to go to the Tang family to have a look." Wen Qingzhu put down his chopsticks.
Not long after she came here, she met a lot of people, and everyone was more or less involved with the Tang family.
People like Lu Tao, who were just investigating secretly, were actually related to people from the Tang family.
Just as Wen Qingzhu stood up, Boss Yi's voice came from outside again: "Sir, Master Yan is still waiting below."
