"The eldest prince is inside, he first made a lot of noise day and night, but then he was hungry for two days and became honest. Uncle Yunhe specially instructed that he would only eat one meal a day, and the water pipe was enough, and he didn't even have much strength to shout. ”

Little Peanut raised him for a few years, and later even when he went to sea, he often left him money for rice, vegetables and vegetables, and entrusted Xian Yunhe to take care of his old salted fish, which is like a relative. Therefore, Zhu Er was the person brought by the old salted fish, and he naturally trusted people a little more, and he actually whispered all the inside information.

Hearing that the eldest prince, who was accustomed to enjoying brocade clothes and jade food, was treated like this, Zhu Er scolded in a low voice and deserved it, and then made a silent gesture at Xiao Peanut, and when the others took a few steps back, he tiptoed forward, and looked inside for a while while through the gap between the two doors, only to see the tables and chairs on the ground overturned, and a person sitting against the wall, who else is not the eldest prince?

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be that the eldest prince smashed things to vent his anger at the beginning of being locked up, but after finding out that this trick was useless, people broke the jar and broke it, and they couldn't care about their demeanor anymore...... Of course, if it is said that the eldest prince has no strength to clean up this mess, it is not impossible! However, the dignified son has fallen to such a point, and he really does not deserve sympathy!

Zhu Er thought so, turned his head to look, and saw that the old salted fish had retreated to the side of the little peanut, looking at the lively posture with a smile on his face, and Zhu Yi was closer to him, as if he was planning to come forward to help, he took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door gently, and called out in a low voice: "The eldest prince, the eldest prince?" ”

Through the crack in the door, he could clearly see that the man leaning against the wall did not move at all, and he did not know whether he was hungry, asleep, or simply did not want to speak.

Although he can't say anything about the temper of the eldest prince, he often hears Zhu Ying mention it, at least he has a deeper grasp than ordinary people, and immediately said in an aggravated tone: "Did the eldest prince hear the movement at the gate of the palace?" Outside, the Xu County Commander of Changlu County recruited a large number of idle men and private soldiers in the market to try to rescue the eldest prince from the palace! ”

Speaking of this, he saw that the eldest prince who was originally paralyzed into a mess of mud gradually became a little more lively, and the person even slowly turned his head to look at him, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Your voice ...... I think I've heard of it...... Who are you? ”

The little peanut outside was only slightly suspicious, but the old salted fish gave birth to another thing while letting go of one thing. Listening to the words of the eldest prince, he called himself the second son of Qi, and the kid who had been messing around with him for several days was the son of a family from the capital, which was already undoubted. But what did people suddenly come to Cangzhou to do? Is it against the Great Prince, or does it have other purposes?

Hearing the eldest prince say that his voice was very familiar, Zhu Er couldn't help but secretly hehe. If it was Zhu Ying here, the eldest prince would definitely be able to recognize it by hearing two words. If it is the eldest brother, if he says so many words, the eldest prince will definitely recognize his identity. As for him...... The eldest prince has never taken him seriously, so he just feels familiar.

He suppressed the inexplicable dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a smile: "As long as the eldest prince knows, I happen to be in Cangzhou by chance, and I plan to pull you along." You may think that what is holding you hostage is just a group of rabbits who have been forced to bite people, but you are in their hands, and that Xu County Commander has made an offensive move, do you think he is trying to save you, or is it to harm you? ”

Zhu Er felt that when talking to a person with a heart like the eldest prince, he had to touch his train of thought. Sure enough, as soon as he talked about the question of whether people would save him or harm him, he saw that the eldest prince, who had just breathed more than the dead, suddenly turned over and sat up straight, and then rolled and crawled to the door.

He almost didn't think about it, so he stepped aside, thanking him very much for the big padlock at the door that prevented the eldest prince from coming out.

At the same time, the little peanut had already pulled the old salted fish and ran to the other corner of the invisible side through the crack in the door, while Zhu Yi rushed over quickly and squatted down in front of the door panel on the other side, obviously to prevent the big prince from jumping off the wall.

After two tuggings, the door creaked for a while, and finally did not move, and the eldest prince was deflated again, and there was a little more despair and madness in his voice: "What's the use of you saying this to me, a prisoner to be slaughtered? Those Diao people even dare to fight me, the prince, even if Xu Cheng wants to be unfavorable to me, so what? Am I still capable of holding him back? ”

As he spoke, he slammed the ground hard, and at the same time as the muffled sound of the knock knock came, there was his hoarse voice: "As long as I can get through this difficulty, I will never let go of those damn guys, I will never let go of those dog officials who are obedient to the yin, and I will never let go of those sluts with honey and swords......"

Hearing the eldest prince scolding and yelling, Zhu Er only felt extremely irritable, and immediately interrupted angrily: "If the eldest prince can only scold people, then I won't accompany you, you just wait for someone to kill you!" ”

As he spoke, he shook the corners of his robe vigorously and made a sound as if he was about to leave. Sure enough, he made such a gesture, and the eldest prince immediately shouted: "You...... What do you want? ”

Zhu Er finally perked up. He organized his sentences, and finally changed them to a seductive tone.

"This matter has been pierced into the sky, and those guys who hold you hostage are afraid that they will be exterminated by the imperial court, and they will be connected to their families; Xu Xian ordered those magistrates and gentry to worry that the court would blame them, and even more worried that the court would investigate those things between you. And you, the eldest prince, even if you escape this catastrophe, you are afraid that the emperor will pursue it, aren't you? ”

Finding that the eldest prince did not answer, it was clearly a tacit acquiescence, so Zhu Er said sincerely: "Now that the matter is over, the eldest prince, you have to bow your head to one side." Of course, it is the most ideal to bow to the emperor, in the end, it is the monarch's father, but the emperor is far away in the capital, and he will not be able to come for a while. It was useless for me to think about it and bow my head to those people in Xu County. These officials are greedy, and the emperor can't control it. ”

The eldest prince suddenly trembled with anger: "You mean, let me be soft on those untouchables? ”

Hearing the word untouchable, the old salted fish smiled contemptuously, and the little peanut showed an indignant expression.

And Zhu Er frowned, feeling very uncomfortable inexplicably. He cleared his throat, and then said in a deep voice: "Has the eldest prince forgotten your current situation? Besides, what does it mean to be soft on untouchables? That is called being deceived by corrupt officials and profiteers, so it is ashamed of the innocent people who are victimized! ”

When he said this, Zhu Er only felt that he was too smart, and continued to fool with reason and evidence: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, the emperor has always appreciated such people, right?" At this moment, you relent, sincerely apologize to the victimized spinners, their families, and the poor, and with the reverence of the people of the world for the royal family, you can at least get out of this hellish place! ”

"As long as you reach a settlement with these people, and then stand in the front, you can immediately and sternly rebuke those corrupt officials, shoddy gentry and profiteers, and put all the blame on them, and you can clear at least half of the stigma yourself. Then, you stand up and confiscate people's property and compensate the victims. You can save your life and your reputation, so why not? ”

The eldest prince was finally gradually moved by what Zhu Er said. Thinking about his father's temper, he couldn't help but feel that the words of this mysterious person outside were very reasonable. It's better to die than to live, not to mention that if he can behave better, then not only can he smooth out this matter, but maybe he can re-establish his image among the people.

Isn't it just throwing the pot? How many princes and nobles have done this kind of thing since ancient times? Even Emperor Taizu said back then that the dead friends are not dead and poor......

Thinking of this, he resolutely said, "Okay, then do it!" But I'm locked here, those ...... Those people won't come over for the rest of the time except to deliver food, is it too late? ”

"Well, I'll figure it out, the eldest prince, just remember what you have to do!"

Zhu Ermei, who was done, danced with color, and made a gesture at the old salted fish and little peanut in the compartment over there, and only owed the east wind. And listened to the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, and didn't understand that these little peanuts who were dumped by officialdom were at a loss, but the old salted fish who had lived for most of his life couldn't help but look at this Qi Ershao, who seemed to be a little stupid.

He whispered a few words to Little Peanut, and after sending the person to report the news, he swaggered forward, and when he arrived at the door of the hut, he saw Zhu Yi rolling neatly, and directly pulled Zhu Er on the side to slip into a corner where no one was around, as if he was afraid of being seen by the eldest prince inside, he glanced at the big padlock and the closed door, and suddenly smiled.

"In the end, it is a pampered prince, and you are stumped by just two broken doors. You stay away, now Little Peanut is going to inform someone to get the key, I don't know how long it will take to come back, I'll open the door and let you out first. ”

The eldest prince is now like a man who has fallen into the water, even if he has to hold on to the last straw. Therefore, he didn't care about the disrespectful expression of the comer, and while supporting the ground with his hands, he desperately kicked his feet back and retreated. However, before he could consider whether the distance was safe, he only heard a bang, and the two doors that had trapped him almost crazy actually opened.

To be more precise, one gate hung softly on the side, and the other flew out directly because of the old salted fish's kick on the door, grazing the body of the eldest prince and falling to the ground, making another loud noise, raising a large amount of dust.

The eldest prince, whose scalp was numb, couldn't help but regret his choice, but there was no turning back when he drew the bow, he could only struggle to get up, but before he could stand firmly, he only felt that someone grabbed his arm and helped him up.

Seeing that it was an old man in short clothes and a short shirt with a smile on his face, he was about to squeeze out a smile, but when he saw the other party smiling and showing a mouthful of white teeth, he couldn't help but shudder again.

The old salted fish stared at the eldest prince's blue nose and swollen face, and inexplicably had the urge to laugh, but he had to hold back: "The eldest prince, you have been wronged." Come, let's get out. ”

Originally, he wanted to be hypocritically polite, but the eldest prince noticed that the hands that grabbed his arms were as powerful as iron tongs, and he was immediately frightened back when he was full of words. He suddenly doubted that if he hadn't listened to the suspected acquaintance outside the door just now, would he have been held hostage as a shield, and if Changlu County ordered Xu Cheng not to withdraw his troops, he would kill him to sacrifice the flag?

This kind of unspeakable worry lingers in his heart, especially when he doesn't see the so-called acquaintance after going out, the eldest prince is even more upset and angry, and he no longer has that kind of mentality.

Soon, he saw the boy who had run back with a puff of smoke - he recognized at a glance that it was the man who had just been outside, and the man who had been following the strong man who had beaten him. The young man ran up to him, glanced at him a few times, but handed the old man a small box on the side, and then whispered a word.

"Uncle, Uncle Yunhe said, get some fat powder to cover the wounds on the eldest prince's face, otherwise they won't look good!"

The old salted fish let go of the hand that grabbed the eldest prince, opened the shoddy box, and saw that it was some incense powder used by ordinary women, and he couldn't help but laugh. And the eldest prince was shocked and angry when he saw this, but he didn't dare to have the slightest idea of letting go and running away. He was so hungry and dizzy that he didn't even have the strength to run, and he didn't even have the strength to walk, and besides, the palace was full of thieves, where did he run?

So, seeing that the old man handed over the box, the eldest prince had to reach out in humiliation to take it. Thinking about what he was going to do in a moment, he let go of it, and wiped the pungent puff on his face with trembling hands.

Unlike folk men who never use women's fat powder, the palace pays attention to skin care and self-cultivation, from face fat to mouth fat, and many things are specially provided for men.

Although there is no mirror at the moment, the box of powder is also inferior, but purely by feeling, the prince who is used to precious pearl powder still shoots it very evenly.

At least in the eyes of the old salted fish and the little peanut, the eldest prince's face still had scars and bruises, and under the cover of those powders, except for the paleness, there was no big difference, and it was not clear at all from a long distance.

Little Peanut really couldn't get used to seeing a man apply powder carefully, and he was worried about the battle outside, so he snatched the powder box in the hand of the eldest prince, and then shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!" If you don't go over there, it's too late. ”

The eldest prince involuntarily ran away under the holding of two people left and right. And when he left, Zhu Er appeared, patted the dust that didn't actually exist on his body, and then gently wiped his sweaty forehead. At this moment, he heard Zhu Yi beside him whisper a word.

"What the second young master just said to the eldest prince, is it true?"

"Really?" Zhu Er glanced at Zhu Yi sideways, and then laughed, "How is it possible, of course it was a lie to him!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Yi was stunned at first, and then showed a thoughtful expression, Zhu Er said triumphantly, "To solve the bell, you still need to tie the bell, the eldest prince and those corrupt officials and profiteers broke into trouble, just let them go dog-eat-dog to each other." Of course, those who capture the palace still have to be punished! But what I want to figure out the most is how these people captured the palace, and did everyone around the eldest prince eat dry food? ”
