Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian, still a little unsure: "Your Highness, if it is another soldier, it will be messed up。。。。。。 ”

Speaking of this, Yang Youcai suddenly stopped talking, because Jing Juzheng behind him looked at them with wide eyes: "You, you are His Royal Highness Qianming?" ”

Yang Youcai patted his head, maybe Jing Ju's move of opening and closing the door just now made him relax his vigilance, thinking that he had reached his own territory, but he put the word "His Highness" on his lips when he met, and now it is too late to regret it.

"Your Highness, what do you say?"

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "You told the truth, what else can I do, is it possible that you still want to kill their mother and son." Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaolian looked up at Jing Ju: "You now understand why I dare to promise you glory and wealth." ”

If Jing Ju hadn't just gone through his mother's preaching, he was afraid that he was already planning how to tell the truth, you must know that as long as he caught His Royal Highness Daming, who would care how he was caught? Even if Cheng Xiaolian and them lived in his house a few days ago, he could say that it was to relax their vigilance and confuse them in order to be foolproof.

But even so, he began to waver, this is His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he stays there, will he still be worried about glory and wealth in the future? Maybe in his heart, the restoration of the Ming Dynasty was a lie, so he didn't think that Cheng Xiaolian could be the emperor at all, in his heart, Cheng Xiaolian was no different from the bandit leader on the mountain.

Seeing that Jing Ju didn't bow his head and bowed down, Cheng Xiaolian felt a sense of loss in his heart, it seemed that the name of His Royal Highness Daming could not deter people, and even the spirit of the king could not leak out.

Jing Ju finally forced out a smile: "I don't know that His Highness is coming, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of welcome." ”

Cheng Xiaolian said helplessly: "Didn't you have the intention of going to the government to tell the truth." ”

"No, I'm never going to tell the truth, you must not hurt my mother." In an instant, he had already figured out the stakes, if he went to tell the truth, he would be able to be prosperous and rich now, I am afraid that he would have to face the endless revenge of these people in Qianming in the future.

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "I know what you think, you give us ten days, if you still think we are traitors and rogues after ten days, even if we go to the informant, we will definitely not say a word." ”

Jing Ju was uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't judge how sincere Cheng Xiaolian's words were, so he still said: "No, since I promised my mother, I won't do anything treacherous again." "He was just a servant of the yamen, and this matter was too big for him to be beyond his judgment, so he could only instinctively save his own life and that of his mother.

Cheng Xiaolian knew that he was not sincere in submission, the original idea of having the spirit of a king and a body shaking would come from all directions to worship was long gone, Daming has been dead for 30 years, not three or five years, no one will think that a Ming Highness is the true son of heaven.

He quickly calmed down and looked at Jing Ju: "Don't worry, we will leave here tomorrow, if things go well, we will see in ten days, if things don't go well, we won't betray you and Aunt Jing, you just have to live well." ”

It's not that Cheng Xiaolian has to leave in a hurry because his identity was discovered, now he is no longer suitable to stay here, there are too many people who know that he is here, he doesn't know what the prefect thinks, if the prefect's head is hot and he comes with people, he will definitely become a turtle in the urn.

Jing Ju's face was relieved, as long as he could send this big Buddha away, he could say anything, after all, he stayed here, and he didn't know when he would be implicated, and then the life of the family would be difficult to protect.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, they said goodbye to Aunt Jing, who walked into the house and took out a red wedding dress: "You are here for this, fortunately, the old woman's craftsmanship is barely passable, and now she is gone, and she will take this away, and the old woman wishes the two of you to grow old together." ”

Cheng Xiaolian took the wedding dress and solemnly bowed and saluted: "Old man, don't worry, if we can succeed, we will definitely give your son a generous gift, even if it can't be done, it won't drag you down, of course, no matter whether it can be done or not, the two of us will grow old together." After finishing speaking, he took the wedding dress, and then walked out of Jing Ju's house with Yang Youcai.

Aunt Jing looked at Jing Ju: "They are already rare good people, if they are other bandits, our mother and son are only afraid that they are already in different places, I only hope that they can do things safely, and they also have your wealth." ”

Jing Ju smiled bitterly: "I'd rather never meet them, and still be my third-class official foreman safely." ”

Yang Youcai took Cheng Xiaolian and them to an alley next to the alley where they lived last time: "They must have searched this place closely, this place is safe for the time being, but I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "What about the other brothers?" ”

"They are scattered in the uninhabited courtyards around them, and after fighting for so long, many of them cannot come back, and many of them are still trapped outside the city, and these small families are not like the kind of wealthy families, there are groups of slaves, and some families have two brothers, and the two brothers are not there, so the house is deserted, just suitable for us to live. We didn't open the front door or light a fire, and the neighbors didn't know that there was anyone in the house. ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Thanks to you for coming up with this method, I estimate that Tuhai will relax his investigation in the next two days, but he will definitely step up his investigation secretly." We brothers are all careful, some brothers shaved their heads, it is the best, and those who have not shaved their heads try not to go out, it is too eye-catching, and wearing a felt hat may not be able to reduce the suspicion of others. ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "Well, I will take care of these things, what are we going to do on the street?" ”

"Of course, it is to incite the people of Xi'an, no one has awakened them, and they will never know to stand up and resist."

Three days later, Tuhai still didn't find any clues, and in desperation, he could only make a last stand: "Since we have searched all the places where no one lives and small households, there is no trace of those traitors at all, that is to say, these thieves are not hiding in these people's homes at all, and the gate of Xi'an has not been opened, they must be hiding in the homes of wealthy families!" I have known for a long time that these Han people are all in a group, come and give me a door-to-door check! ”
